| BRITISH PARLIAMENT - Debate on the CroWn
| Security BM.-In the British House of Commons
the debate being the bill for the better security
of the crown, (he people, of course, are nothing in
comparson Sir Robert Peel said, he could not
| allow the bill to pass without distinctly avowng
his approval of its provisions. He thought it right
1--WE quote from an English paper,) that men who
had not the dignity of traitors, should be reduced
to the position of feons. He would keep those frogs
that We're croaking sedition in the marshes, and
would not allow them 10 puff themselves into the
dimensions of the nobler animals that beloved
treason.
He warned Mr.. OConnor that those who drew
100000 persons together could not foresee what
might be the consequences After showing that
gentleman's declarations of loyalty were not very
satisfactory he said, that in what he (Sir Robert
had read and witnessed in the last ten DAYS. he saw
proof that there good reason for strengthening
for a time the hands of Her Ma estys Government.
He referred to the magnificent demonstrations of
loyalty recently made in the metropolis, and exhort-
ed the Government and the Legislature to eneour-
age those whose exertions had been so admirable.
He then referred to the condition of France and
declared it to be his firm belief that the security of
every existing Government depended on rigid alb
stlnence from any interference in the transactions
OF that country.
He hoped that the working classes of Great Bri-
tam would not be deuded by the doctrines held in
France respecting labor and the wages of labor If
1t We're true that men, without reference to their
different capabilities, strength and capacities, ought
all to receive the daily wages all the expert
ence and all the lights OF the last hundred and fifty
years had existed in vain
Lord John Russell briefly adverted to the different
objections against this bill which, he believed would
tend much to the security of the peace of the en-
pIre. He then referred to the exciting and infamma-
tory language used in Dublin and other parts of
Ireland, observing that it might lead in some parts
OF the country to outrage and Instruction but thai
outrage and that resurrection u0ua be put dOun be-
cause the Government had the means of so doing at
its disposal in the loyalty and affection of the peo-
pie and iii the force of the army whose fidelity had
been most foully and Systematically belied in various
ways, both in and out of the House.
He then proceeded to state, that Immediately after
Easter the House would proceed to the discussion of
measures which related to the political state of the
Irish population. Referring to Mr.. J. O'Connell's
motion for the repeal of the Union, he showed that
all the grievances of which Mr.. Grattan complained
in the Irish Parliament, and which remained unre
dressed by that Parliament, had been redressed by
a Parliament of the United Kingdom.
He declared his readiness to listen to any propo
siton, supported by the great ority of Irish mem
bers having for its object the improvement of the
laws and condition of that country; but by discus
