The Times, 1824-03-22T00:00:00

'I'he Austrian Observ'er undertakes a defence of the cri- minal law of Austria against the attacks of Mr. CAxNXNCs on the first day of the present session of Parliament. The force of the defence is confi.ned to this single affirmation- " that thelaw of Austria, humnaneas the Government, de- " sires the confession of a criminal, as such a confession "leaves no doubt of the guilt ; but does in no case extort it"-and why ? " because torture was abolished by "MARIA THERESA ." It is not necessary to go into a spew culation as to what means are at the disposal of an arbitrary Government, for persuading a prisoner to confess, even though the instrumenits and visible signs of torture may have been formally abolished ? Is solitary confinemenit no torture ? Is starvation th- gentlest figure of rhetoric in the world? An;l may not these, witlh a thousand(I other modes of iirportunity, be applied by a gaoler not amenable to county MJagistrates-not liable to be questioned by a Com- mnittee of the House of Commons, for the purpose of ex- tracting fromn a heartbroken captive that acknowledgment which a dlespotic Sovereign so humanely " lesires," though he is too conscientious to " extort?" The truth is, that where concealmetnt of the trial itself forms a leading fea- ture of the jSudicial system, there is no security for any thing like faith, or honour, or rectitude, in the adlninis- tration of the laws. The principle of an English states- man is, that without responsibility there must be abuse ; andi where is the responsibility of an Aus- trian or Russian gaoler, judIge, or executioner? To wvhom is he responsible ? To the Crown ; that is, to the Minis- ter. And the Minister-to whom ? Why to the Autocrat. And the Autocrat? To his own caprices. In Austrian Italy, therefore, there may be promulgated things called " laws;" but being edicts of the Court, and the Court alone coghtizant of the manner in which they are. really executed by its owtn ministels, it is, to the mtiud of an Englishman, quit6 the same, whether, under a military despotism, one mlode of torture has been abolished and another practised, or whether mercy or severity is the professed rule of action. 'The predominating passion of the hour is the only law; the bayonet-no matter how disguisedl-must exercise 'the functions of judge and jury: hypocrisy and vengeance are without an effective control; for by the very principle of Goyernment, the opinions and feelings of the nation whomn it coerces ate excluded from all influence over it.

WVe have an account in our paper of to-day, of a meeting of tlie Foremen of the principal Tailors in the Metropolis associated under a somewhat fantastical name in the French language. WVe know nct whetlher the statement has been sent us in ridicule, bttt wve think the proceedings of these nimble youths as rational as thosc of many other assem- bled societics. They complain that men make clothes for the human body, without having the slightest idea of its form. If theywould read GOliver, they would filad that there exis:cd in one of the coulltries at whiclh the trave,ler arrivet, a method of " taking measure" by means thematical iinstruments. AVe do not exactly recommend this practice in England, but if Messieurs the Tailleurs Coupcurs would study anatomy, they might then mend the mnan, if he were ill, as well as make him clothes, up to the full corpulence of a healthy person, without waste .r compressioni. The word " cabbage," we observe, does not exist in thc account of the proceedings.

The French papers of S:iturriay contain the results of a great nrUnber ore of thc elections, the commencement of which in Patis we noticed yesICTdaZy. The telegraplh has becn put in motion on all the lines of telegranhic comnu- nication by which France is intprsected, an thle victories of the Mfinisters in the Electoral Colleges have been trans- mittcd with the same zealous rapidity as their military triumphs in the Spanish campaign. Nor is this the only point of resemblance betwveenl the two contests. In both the Mfidstry have fought against constitutional tights, so- lemnly guaranteed ; iin both:they have exerted the wvhole foree of the Government in opposition to the laws which aught to have prevailed in the respective cases; in both Lney have prartised a systern of delu,ion, and laid the foundation of ultimate success in a lavish employmnent of the means of seduction and violence. Unhappily, too, in both cases they had to contennd with antagonists undis- ciplived, acting without concert, and unprovided with the m as of resistance. The consequence has been, thatout of l 12 returns, (nearly a tlhir(d of the wvhole representation.) which will be found in another column, only nine are in favour of the Liberals. Paris, whose deputation was nearly altogether Liberal at forner elections, and wbere the most confiAdent hope was entertained of a similar result in this, returns five Ultras from the eight small or rr0ondisement colleges of which it is com- posed. In the srnall colleges of the provinces, the rcsult is still more striking in favour of the MNinistry ; and there is almost no doubt th)at the great or departmental electortil bodies vilU send to the Chamber a very scanty. portion of Opposition candidates. What will become of public dis- cuLssion in the next session, -when the merr.bers will be nearly all of one opinion ? The phTaseS formerly em- ploycd in speaking of the Chamber roust be disumed; for instead of having a-t-ight and left sidte, there will be only one side. The Liberal or Opposition deputies vvill not be more nthmerous than the door-keepers, and equially ineffl- cieut for the purpose oF resisting obnoxious measdres, or onitrolling.a violent majority.

Alien Bill.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,-On pecositig your paper this morning, I perceived that lat night the Alien Bill was introduced in the Rouise of Comnmons, with the modlification, however, to exempt those Aliens who have been resident in this country for seven years and upwards. For this act of liberality, those AIienrs will, I am satisfied, be grateful to the Right ilonourable Secretary for the HomeDeparunent; but, as one of those individuals,and bein intcrested in this clause,having been a resident in this city for a con,iderable greater period, and of course a contributor to tieincormeor property tax, besides having paid and now payvig all the remaining heavy taxes and rates to which house- keepsers are liable, I hope that this clause will be plain, and that an absence of perhaps one, twn, or three monthe, in the last yearss necessarv for tsiness, will not depii e the individuals who have been resident for seve. years and upwards, of the privilege of the c.aim, or subject them again, on qtuitting or arrivinginto this coun- try, now considered their homne, to tthe trouble and unpleasant feeling in presenting themselves to the Alies-office. As the Alien Bill is to be read on Fridav a second time, and therctorc ample time tor introducing other clauses, I beg most bunt- bly to sug.cst to the consideration of tlte Right Hon. Secretarv wnhetlher it would not be conferring and extendin the libemliiy more (which he has now begun to bestow), to thoselliens who have not only resided here for the periotl of ten years and upwards, but are married, some of them to anEnglish wife, are besides established here as merchants, paying in their several situations as much aS any Englishman towards the expenses of the country, to grant to themzl the eight of na'urslization, which, although anxiously dcsirtl by a great many, has been repeatedlly refttsed during tke last two years. By inserting the above in your paper, you vill oblige a constant re:tder, not less attachled to his Majesty and his Government for he- 111N d11 ALIEN. March 24. A LIENV BILL.
