MT. IL. Give aiter protesting hts rcstli-
ness To take the responsibility OF tic al
legged violations at the law on himself,
said, that hen The Pet;iioner frs; came
TO this country, The Ministers had certain
" an idea OF him different from that which
lhcy were aiierward compelled To enter
tam. Into the reasons which induced
them 10 send HIM out of the country, il
was not necessary Tor him 10 enter. II
was snfhcieni 10 say, that they found
cause 10 Go SO. He solemnly protested
| that There was not the slightest idea, " en-
that resolution was taken, of treating
General Gourgaud with unnecessary Sc
verify; and II he had submitied.wl,lI the
patience which was 20 be expected from
a person subjected Ia legal power, even
those grounds on which the present COM
plant was founded would not have exist
ed. The officers who entered his room
dld not strike him with bludgeons, as
they had no such things with them. They
! gave him time tn dress, and when he had
done that, he attempted by his strength
10 prevent them from removing hun.
| srufiie then certainly en.ued, bul IN thai
scutle lie officers, feeling The dclicacy 4!
| thtir situation, cndeavorcd IL avoid do
ing hun any Injury, and in the end, I'm
| lact, they hal suffered much more than
he. That he had appealed to the Privy
Council was false ; and 10 shew Tie IN
consistency of The petition, he had stated
III one part, that he was entirely friend
less, and afterwards lie had mentioned,
mai dreadiny the proceeding which was
| afterwards adopted towards Kim, he had
applied 10 a friend for advice, who had
lolh him 10 petition Tie privy Council
II was true, as was stated in the petition,
| that the General pointed out TO the Off
| GERS brace of pistols in drawer but
| this was not I'LL he had seized another
| brace at pistol, which were loaded, and
which were wrenched from him. After
| this loo, lie had seized "a dagger, which
was lying under some papers on ms fable,
aud began 10 attack one Of the officers,
| but /, was taken from him. He Was put
INTO coach, while a friend Of his Gas we
understood Mr.. Give To saw attempted
| 10 prevent him from being removed. He
was removed 10 a house near Nanxhali,
Tor the sake of preserving the peace OF
The town, for "a considerable crowd had
been collected by The tumuli aud the vo-
alterations of tie General. So cautions
Twas the Home Department that this imdi-
NItna! should not be treated Illegally,
that he (Mr. Clive,) before The warrant
was served, read Over To The individual TO
whom II was entrusted, the clause in the
Alien Act, in which a right of appeal To
the PrNy Council vas given; and the
same clause was sent IN wiring 10 the
Agent al Hdrwich, that according 10 The
words OF the Act, ii any cause of appeal
was alleged, the execution of the order
might be suspended. Another cause for
renewing him iii coach was, that The
Gen. raj had cut his hand, (by breaking
tile glass in order that he n.igit cry oul
To the crowd in the street a cincum stance
which had excited some commiserai!on,
as 1t was supposed by many that il had
been done IN the struggle. If this ind-
vlduai had been SD grevously i'll treated,
how did il happen that SO much time had
been lost before the complaint was made
to parliament, especially as a pamphlet
was published long ago, threatening d
Parliamentary investigations b.. .On.tht
road 30 Harwich the petitioner pursued
the same conduct, attempting 10 excite
compassion by crying out murder, and
consequently made his Journey much
more unpleasant than was necessary
When he arrived at HarWich, according
10 his own desire, he saw the MAYER, and
told linn that the warrant was Illegal, be
cause II was contrary TO permission b,
had received 10 reside in the country. TIL,
Mayor correctly told him that il was lie
gal, an such as every alien in the coun'
Try was bound 10 obey. While he was
al HarSich lie sent friend with some
direction respecting his property, which
hal been complied with. 1t was 10 b,
remembered that he stayed FIVE DAYS al
IIarwich, and that during This time AN,
person from London mig Int have gone &c
see him, or 10 have lodged the appeal
lie also sent a letter TO MIR. Furbin Jan
sou, which WAS delivered. The Letter
WHICH he sent 10 Lord Sidmouih for Ei:
portfolio was attended to ii was sent,
through the agent az iIarwich, 10 The
agent at tie post Office al Hambursb
and through Linn delivered To Genera
OourSand. Tile result Of i!.e induirie,
which had been made CONCERNING Ih,
