Very strong measures have already been proposed in parliament. Lord Sidmouth said the confidential servants of the crown bad to propose measures by which evils of great magnitude might be arrested. There va3 a deep, growing, and malignant conspiracy to overturn the whole fabric of the constitution. It was chiefly the press that had brought the country into this peril. It was therefore proposed to visit with an increased weight of punishment, even to banishment, the repetition of seditious works. It was next pro posed to impose some impediments to the meetings of large bodies of disaffected persons. Drilling was to be prevented by another bill, and magistrates authorised to seize military weapons. Lord CastJercagh stated that the inhabitants in many districts were in a state bordering on rebellion, and introduced a bill for preventing seditious meetings, which was read a first time. Earl Gray, thought the situation of the country required very different recsedies. A system of force, coercion and terror, would not allay but inflame the people. The Liverpool Mercury, of the 4th Dec. says, that "the debates with which parliament had opened, are a dreadful comment on the state to which the inhabitants of this once free and prosperous nation are reduced." The London Courier of Dec. 3, states that thedebates in both houses of parliament the preceding night were very important The bills for the seizure of arm?, and the prevention and punishment ot drilling and training, were read a second time, without a division, in the house of lords. Lord Sidmouth stated that the training had materially
incre?82d and extended, and that arms to a considerable amount had recently been pro- . 1 MM .! .. .... 1
uureu. j ue seumou3 meetings' bill wa& read a second time in the commons, and the
majority in its favor was 223.
I he bills proposed in parliament, & which were under debate, are to the following effect. 1. A stamp duty upon all publications, except religious tracts, and such works consisting of fewer than a stated number ofwheets. 2. Persons convicted a second time of a political libel, are subjected to a long impri?. onmenf, banishment or transportation, at the discretion of the court. 3. All printers an publishers of works contemplated in the first law, are required to enter into securities, with two sureties to be answerable for petalties. 4. Public meetings not convened b regular constituted authorities, are prohibfted, unless notice of the intended meeting be given, signed by seven householders, to the magistrates, sir days previous to the meeting ; and it is made unlawful for person not resident in the parish or township to attend such meeting. 5. Magistrates, upon in formation or suspicion, are empowered to enter any man's house, in search of. arms, and to seize them if found, giving persons suffering such visits, a right of appeal to the quarter sessions. Accounts from England generally prove, that country docs net yet experience the blessings ot repose, nor are there any indications that it speedily will. On the one hand, the reformers appear to be consolidating and preparing themselves, and on the other, the government are adopting stronger measures to quell them.
