NOV. V. TILE NATION thought some proceeding must be adopted to rescoic England from the disgrace of having contributed to so abominable a proceedi►;g as that of delivering up two persons muter such circumstances, they haying flown to the British for protection ; and with that view he made the present motion. The CHANCELLM of the EXCHEQUER, having adverted to the correspondence which had taken place, connected with this untor tunate transaction, said, that he hoped the production of those parts of the correspondence which related to the two Spaniards delivered up by (general Smith, would meet the Hon. illember' views. Mr. WELL ESLEY PoLr, in justification of the conduct observed by hi. brother, Sir H. Wellesley, our' Ambassador at Madrid, said, the latter had constantly remonstrated against the tyrannical acts of Ferdinand. Mr. WHITBREAD said, he was informed a Tribunal had been erected at Barcelona. before which every person who presuivied to talk of the MlA's of Spain was liable to 1w dtaeged, and to receive . ' the most despotic sentence in the course of twenty-four hours. This was not only the tyranny ot'Buonaparte, bat it wits that most odious tyranny sublimed by Jolly; and he was happy to hear, that as soon as it was understood in Spanish America, that Ft'l dinand fused to adhere to the Constitution established by the rtes, it had caused an universal unanimity among all parties, and Gad send they might succeed, that the peop.e of Spain, *so oppressed, niLht also overturn the de.crt ii.le Government which now oppresses them.— The papers moved for were granted. Mr IVIIITBIIVAD obtained leave to bring in a fill to amend the Act of 2.5 and 37th of the King, so as to empower Magistrates to en quire into false measures as well as fake weights. WEDNESIMY. NOV 2:;. Mr. BANKE4 obtained leave to brim; in a Bill, for an / earlier re tern of the animal accounts of the Civil List, on the ground that it would facilitate theirinvestigation during the Se s sion iu which they were made up. Mr. WHITBREAD said, he had a petition to present from a/Mr. Lovell, who had been upwards of three years imprisoned for pid,dislis big several libels. But lie was likely to remain in that state during his . life, as he was unable to pity the fine imposed on him, or rolind the sureties required. He did not then mean to make any other !notion, than that it should lie on the lable.—The petition was then read. It set forth that the petitioner being Propritor of the Stato- Man newspaper had been convicted of, and allowed judgement to go by default. on four different libels, fur which he had been sen tenced to three years and a hall's imprisonment.—The last sentence was 18 months imprisonment, to pay a fine of 5001. and to find two sureties in 3001. each for his good behaviour during three years ; that be . was linable to pay the line or find the sureties ; that his health was reduced by a pulmonary complaint ; and that he had suffered more than four months imprisonment over the terms of his vac ions sentences. Mr. Whitbread having stated that the petitioner has been refused relief by Lord Sidmouth, that he was unable to pay the tine, and therefore an object of great commiseration, tloi Attor ney General went over the various offences of which the unfortunate defendant had been convicted, and justified the ponishmeotw in. fiicted on him. He, however, held out some hope that mercy would be extended to All% Lovell. Mr. A. BROWNE and Sir G. HEATIICOTE (14 predated the uncer neces‘ary severity with which persons timini giiiity of libels are often treated.—Tbe petition yea. laid on th e table. Mr. TIERNEy addiessed the House on the subject of Colonel Quentin, and in answer to a statement, f, Atalwity, in the Cou titr newspaper, which denied some assertions made by Alt. Tierney i n a f ormer tlienssi o n, to the manner in which the truer wri it teu by . the Officers of the Wilt Hussars came into pos,,eAsion of the Prince Regent. The Hon.

Colonel PA MEn replied, respecting the letter of the Officers of the 11 11 .. hrs and Colond Quentin, that utter it hail been drawn up and signed, tiny were against sending it, but its exi.tence having conic to the knowledge of Colonel Quentin and the Prince Regent, the Officers were commanded to Pend the letter to his Royal Highness. The Prince fin ther said that Colonel Palmer ought to be the prosecutor, and directed loin to take upon himself that character. No anutiou was made on_the subject, %Well here dropped.—Ad journed.

Serjeant o.llLow presented a petition from the bakers residing iU and within ten tulles of the City of London, praying for leave to REGISTER.. bring in a Bill for as increased allowance for the Manufacture of Bread. Ordered to lie on the table. The Helton Election and new Hackney Coach Bills were brought in and 'Tad a first time. AIr.IIOIINER adverted to a statement published under the an thori t y of the American Government, in which it was asserted that negroes had been seduced from the Southern States by British offs• errs. carried to the West Indies and there sold ; he wished to know it there wa4 any foundation fur such a statement; and also whether Ferdinand of Spain had agreed to abolish the Slave Trade in his do mit Mr. VsssicrrAnT said, his Majesty's ministers had received no information wh.:t , ,-.ver of the tact asserted by the American Govern. meat ; Ise did however, believe that British officer% could be und:y !‘o black and ba s e a crime. As to Spain, there was no prevision in the late tre:•Zy of amity with that country upon the subject of tle Shave Trade. It was found impossible toThrinz the Court of Spain to a sense in this instance of its true interest and honour.—Adjourned. FRIDAY, NOV. 25.

INTERNAL STATE OF IRELAND. • On the motion that the Report of the Peace Preservation Bill be read und agreedio, Mr. Posisoriev rose, not for the purpose of opposing the motion, lint of stating that the representations made by the Right Hon. -Gentleman (Mr. Peele), on introducing his two Bills, were com pletely unfounded in filet. It was represented that there existed throughout Ireland a general spirit of insubordination; but a three months' residence there ' since such a statement had cnnviticed that it was unsupported by facts, for never in his life had he wit nessed Ireland in so tranquil a state. Such representations, made no doubt by persons who etished to recommend themselves to Go vertii»ent, were particularly injurious to the interests of Ireland, as far as tlie,Opinioe of England was concereed ; for in spite of the confident predictions to the contrary, at the time of the Union, that the superabundant !capital of England would instantly go to Ire land, and reward the industry and exertions of its natives, none of that superabundant capital had ever yet found its way to that country. With respect a the policy of some parts of the original Bill, he had only to confine the House to think well on the, conse quences that must result from interfering with religious differences., it'such a proceeding should be determined on at any time—iront de. livering up the Irish Roman Catholic peasant:y to au Orange Ma gistraey.—(llear Mr, P EELE said, that such extraordinary representations demanded sonic reply,espceially as he had been charged with di hiding the House ith an exaggerated, and, in many parts, an unfounded account of the state f Ireland. Time Right Hon. Member must have forgotten his statement, as he never said that a spirit of insubordination ex isted throughout Ireland, nor that there was universal dislike to the iovernment. He stated the evil, though great, was of partial ex istence, but that the partial spirit of insubordination was micomi tenanced by any persons of consequence ; and in support of the mea- • sure, he related the facts of there existing combination, bound by a secret and horible oath,'' to plant the tree of liberty in the centre of Ireland," and of witnesses having been murdered who were about to appear against persons taking such oaths. As to the Insurrection Act, so abhorrent to the Act of Union, when the Administration of 1806 7 left power, it was found in the office, having been prepared by them. He lamented that the Right Hon. Gentleman should have countenanced one of the most wicked scandals that ever had been circulated by the restless in Ireland, in repeating the false and dan gerous appellation of the " Orange" Magistracy. So completely would the Magistrates be under the Lord Lieutenant, that they would not have the power to be extensively oppressive. Mr. Ponannby and Mr. Merle explained. After 'nine remark. , from Sir J. Newport and Mr. Horner, t h Peace Preservation Amendment MB was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. I
