the prospect lest still longer, could only cause additional mi.chief. As it inquest to hint, there was but one course for the House to pursue. which was to persevere lii the rtsalt►iies t s which it adopted, and to come that very night to a vote which should put an end of discussion upon the subject for ever. Let them do this ; let them declare dellah tively that there Was au ondto prohibition; and they would soda" find that there Was an end to the alleged necessity for it. lit a very abort time, without the appointment of any Committee, there would be an end to the apprehension which traders were alerays sulficiently quick to anemia for the safety of their owe interests t and, i f dn. barite of the threatened' datinbg loges of foreign goods, there would be work enough again incur manufactnring dfstriete. Mr. DICKENSON regretted to see that, year after year, some cew theory of free trade was started with a plausibility wbtch wuh ikon extensive and dangerous support within those Wells. For his part, he was de cidedly of opinion the question of silk dying was merely one of colour, and that we would not, in this country, dye the same colours'as they c..uld at Lyons, or on the basks of the &sane and Rhone. He should vote, foe these regalia in favour of these Pedtionerls, and would egress a hope that this •tcvneesston would prove an earnest au the pan of the Legislature. 'to resume in sound prlncitles of policy ht•other ihspottant respects. Mt. J. A. WARRE said, hefted come down to the House yesterday with a desire to acquire information ; his mind had been perfectly unprejudiced, and, after all %bathe had beard, he did not think that the • Honour- able Member for Coventry had made out any case for going into a Committee. The present system was against the real interests of the country. The officers employed in the revenue department could stop the smuggling of spirits; but they found it impossible to prevent the introduction of dry or silk goods. The op- i posi ion offered to Government in the present measure was similar to that which had been always exercised against every introduction of liberal improvements. If the House cast a retrospective view throughout history, they would find that all improvements in the system of trade and in manufactures, had been opposed by thole ' who conceived that their own interests would be injured by the innovation. Theme antielpeticas of mil by Interested parties,' frequently turned out unfounded, and general good. as well as law dividual advantage, arose from liberal measures. He doubted whe. thee the French bad capacity all at owe to compete with us in the( markets of Europe. Mr. P. MOORE said, he rose without any eaten)* lion. He wished to advocate public right, public prin ciple, and popular interest, without any principle. The Hon. Member went on to describe the state of distress existing at Coventry, and implored both the House and his Majesty's Ministers to grant the Committee. In a case so urgent, he cared not for protecting duties or pro hibitions—be would throw all overboard—but he would save the people (hear, and a lase.) Let the smugglers go on and maraud as they might, and let them be hung as fast as they could be taken. (A laugh.) Mr. EGERTON was anxious to go into the Com mittee, as many petitions had been presented from the county he represented, but if the petitioners did not make out their case la the Committee they *odd net have his vet e. Mr. PALMER, in a maiden speech, stated that he had, after great hesitation, determined to oppose the motion. He had formed this determination with-re luctance, as some of his constituents were connected with the silk manufacture ; but so strong an impression bad been made on his mind by the speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Huskisson) last night, that be now felt it his duty to vote as be had stated. He had' been by that speech awakened to the danger, that by going into a Committee they might, instead of doing good, do very material harm. He was averse to the ex citement of fallacious hopes, 'and apprehended that the. desired inquiry would rather held est'an indesiensait taiimisyster to diminish than to increase the umber ettheir bands. Mr. Secretary CANNING, who, on rising, was loudly cheered from all parts of tbr Home„ said s—stlir, site; the detect appeal made to me by the - Hoootwable Member for Coventry; after the appeal oho made to ine by another Honourable Member, I do feel it neces sary, before the debate closes, to state to the Home fairly, and as shortly as I can, the views and Opinions which I entertain upon the present question. On the one hand, I am sure the House will believe that I can. not feel disposed to enter at large into a subject which has been already disposed of so much to the satisfy:. Lion or this House and the country ; so much to the encouragement of some who bad before given those measures their support; and the conviction of others who had previously entertained adverse or doubtful opinions upon them ' , by the able, the eloquent, the powerful speech sit my Right Hon. Friend—(Cheers). I say, thetf, that after that splendid exertion on the part of my Right Hon. Friend, the House will not suspect me of the bad taste of wishing to obtrude myself upon the House, by again discussing the whole of that vast question; but I feel that I should not discharge my linty to this House--I feel I should not do my duty.to the country—l feel that I should not discharge my duty to my Right Hon. Friend, if I did not come- forward, and by an avowal of my sentiments and opinions, claim a full parecipation in the responsibility incurred by the introduction of those measures. h is for this purpose, then, that I now present myself to the House. I have witnessed for the last tax months, I might, perhaps, say, during a longer period, but principally for the last six months, the diligent, the systematic attacks made upon the plans and measures, as well as upon the public AO ratter of my Right Hon. Friend ; attacks , made, ni l doitht, with the cherished bops of their proving juju :ions to his fame, and subversive of the sound eosamer cial and trading principles which be has so long and so anxiously exerted himself in endeavouring to introduce , (Otters) ;—and, let me ask, why this . opposition tO the introduction of measures by which my Right Hon. Friend means to fix the foundation of a salutary system of commercial trade and conmeseee with other lotions I I agree entirely' with the HOW: Gentlemmi Mind Me (Mr. Palmer), who hap spoken this night for the first time, and spoken in a manner that gives ample promise of the ability with-which he will hereafter fill the nourable situation to which betas been called. I. aktint' with that Hon. .Gentleman in the sentiment, that if she shadow of probability could be shown, that by O M into the proposed Committee, Parliament could thrater thingeffectaal to tooth the feelings or tnrelieerthe db.; tresses of those whose behalf that culeteitta was re. Iniied—if is were even sr neutral measure in which the !louse could agree, 1 say, is that ease; think 'wide the 1-lon. Gentleman, that the House would tot bejtistitied in refitting to accede to the motion. But, Sir feeling as I do, that there is in truth n o p r o s pect °Each it'll , ' VUit, I maintein, that to go into the Comnsktee would' be enly mischievous to the country, without being lcial or even consoling to the :defers. It would . be to' practise an unworthy delusion oil them, at the expense' 'of the nation, it we . ..should hold out a hope-an expec-' tation, nay, even a doubt, as to its being our fixed de termination to persevere' in that course, which, after the' Most serious stelibetatlott, Parliament, in its wisdom, resolved to pursue. What, I will ask, would be the' effect Of our going into the proposed Committee?:—: 1.4 question, of et ail, beat it out into as many shapes' as you will, must come to this Would prohibition 'no tect the silk trade of this toe ntry name than a tiode.rate )ver the of our commercial interests—(Chee►s), fetter our et ade, and perhaps in the end annihilate those manufactures it is out wish and our duty to encourage. But my objettion to the appointment of a ComMittee does not rest here. I feel that it would operate hot only against the interests of the suffering individuals, whose digresses it is intended to relieve, but also Against those measures, the adoption of which have already met with the almost unanimous wishes of this House. But, Sir, this is not the point upon which I felt myself most immedi.&tely called upon to answer the appeal of Honourable Members—this is not the point upon which I feel called upon by my public duty to express my sen timents. it cannot be denied. Sir, that under cover of _ _ the measure which the Hon. Gentleman oppo,ite ( lice) hal thought proper to bring forward ; and that he has brought it forward in the sincerity of has heart, and with the view solely to the relief of the sufferers whose cause he advocated, the House must feel convinced ; but it cannot be denied, that ' under cover of that motion, an opportunity was taked, not by the Hon. Member certainly, but by others, to attack the commer cial regulations now in proves.; measure! more set ouily deliberated upon, and inttodticed with the more' universal consent of this House, than any other acts of our public policy within my recollection—measures which all men, capable of farming a just and stecur.ite judgment, had concurred in advocating as the trite policy by which this country ought to be guided in commercial affairs. However fairly the Hon. Member for Coventry brought forward his motion, this was not the case with the • HOndurable Gentleman (Mr. J. Williams) who seconded him, who • addressed you with a very different feeling, and in a very oifferent spirit. That Honourable an,d Learned Member, de parting from those professional tOpicr, in descanting upon which, he had so often arrested the attention of the House, disported himself upon this, to him novel subjeit, certainly, with all the confidence of a novice, but at h e same time in a manner which evinced a total incapability of using his weapons as he was wont to do in bit more practised exhibitions, in his place over the way—(Cheers). The Honourable and Learned Mem ber, in the course . of his address, allowed himself to in dulge in all the vulgar topics and ribald invective with which my Right Hon. Friend has been assailed, and in' the spirit of these - attacks, has attributed to him feelings and sentiments as foreign to his beat t—as much beneath his exalted character, at ate those published attacks, which my Right Hon. Friend feels beneath his notice. The lion. and Learned Gentleman endeavoured to fasten epos my Right Hon. Friend views and motives which ate a'ien alike to his feelings. his opinions, and his talents (cheers), with a view of drawing upon bins, or if not upon him, upon his measures, the ill opinion and odium of the public. And why, I ask, has my Right Hon. Friend been subjected to theme attacks?— Because, Sir, with an industry andeiertion unabated, with an intellect and intelligence never exceeded, and rarely equalled, he has devoted' his daily labour and his nightly toil to the improvement and more permanent establishment of our commercial and trading system' ...C(,hem). Sir s When this attack was made. the House felt as one man the injustice done to, my Right Hon. Friind (cheers); sad if, in addition to the conscious rectitude of his own mind, and the gra tifying ackaowledgment by this House, of his splendid exertsens, he "tidied * for another gratilication, he had it in a recollection of the imbecility of the attempt to lowest either him or his measures in the public mind. And then, forsooth, came the assertion, that nothing per sonal was =Mit.. Nothing.persorial, Sir I Did we not bear Mention made of the animosity and malignity of the devil ? Nothing personal 1.--certainly nothing per. sonal to the devil--(.assgliter)—.who, by the way, and it is a curious coincidence; is according to the old chro n;cles, the Patron Saint of the city (Lincoln) which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman represents—(Laughter). • Nothing personal, forsooth. What could any one to suppose, that the embodied tililignity, the coldness of heart, the' apathy of • Wilt; which the Learned Gentleinari hid described as the distinguishing features of those who indulged in abstract specplations, were eat intended to be attributed to his Right Hon. Friend; and to those, wbo favoured his doctrines? Want of feeling, obddracy of heart, and every other quality. which could make a man contemptible in the perform ance of his arduous public duties, and odious in the eyes of his fellow citizens; for whose benefit he was dhehatging . those duties, were attributed to his flight Hohourable Mend, and attributed most unwarrant ably—(Near). These epithets are as vulgar as they are unjust, and yet there is nothing personally meant: And why were theseclrarges preferred? Why these approbrions epithets-applied? Because my Right lion. Friend has wished tai regulate our commercial sys tem- on sound philosophical principles. Is this a crime ? Does it follow because philosophical principles are applied to matters of common life, that the individual acting thus most be distinguished by the obduracy of . his feelings ? contend' that it is trne, policy so to apply the principles of philosophy in the abstract; though unquestionably it may be proper to qualify e modify them, according to circumstances, in our pre* tire. The course( which has been takeh-a-the spire which , has- beat sthvad epa-ageinst my' Right Hoa nottrable &kW; resalable :1' that which putsited the fritter betietectOri Mankind—it resembles that which assailed the - lifo of • Turgot, and exposed 'Galileo to del veagennito of the iaqinsitiou.'

[say. then, Sir, that in this step my Right Honotwable Friend . (for though I am most willing to share all the respon siblity, I will not presunie to claim pait him in the meth or it) has been actuated by a Afferent 61441; convinced in his own mind - of the jnitite and ex pediency of the. measure, he has petstraded the - House to legislate, and, as the fruits of that legislation, J . Anticipate incre lsing prosperity 'and growing strength. • .—(Ckeeis) But other attacks have been 'niade upon us. We - are charged with having abandoned the principles. of Mr. Pitt, and of having taken a leaf out of the book' of our antagonists. Is it possible, Sir, that the people• who use dui language can be so utterly ignorant of the truth, as to suppose the principles of a liberal com mercial policy have any connection with Witiggism? do not wish to withhold due praise' I will even say • warm acknowledgments; from the Honourable Gentte- men opposite, who have, on . the present occasion, done themselves honour by forgetting the mere vulgar distinctions of party to support measures brought forward by their opponents, which they believe wilt contribute -to the' end of the country. Nat looking-to the individuals, but to It e political creed of the party, I can see nothing in the history of the country since the distinctions of Whig and Tory were known,' which dces not tend to prove, that in matters of com mercial policy, the Tory has always been the liberal, and . the Whig, the opponent of liberal measures, To :hew this Sir,l will first take a view of their conduct from the history of France—from the history of that country with which our commercial regulationshave been of the inmost importance. Sir, the only attempts at. snaking siornisercial treaties, until that which my lit.Hon.Friend and I signed the other day, were the peace of Utrecht and the Treaty of 1786. ..I shall not now disctass the merits of the first of these; but all I shall say is, that:it Was proposed by a Tory--that it was rejected by a Whig=rejected, too, on the ground of the natural enmity of the two parties—(Hear). With respect to the Treaty of 1786, who, I ask, was the-proposer ? Pitt. IVho the impugner? Fox—(Cheers): I Since not into the detail of the advantages and disadvaatawes of dam' two Treaties; I mention them only to. show- the Auto of the adage, that when a man wishes to. strike a dog, he does not fail to find a sticlo44.444nigh) say this, not in the spirit of complaint; bat to .stew how rashly arguments are adopted, and how falseithe charge, that we have deviated from the. principles of our political master, and gone over to the 4180110 camp, if not for quarters at least for instrliction. I deny that we h ive departed from the dottrines of Mr. Pitt, and I say that the charges recently preferred against his Majesty's Government are connected with a wish which could not be concealed from any man : who bas observed the signs of the times-1 mean the hidden wish for the renewal of the Bank Restriction Act. —Here 'again we are chargkd with being defaulters from the policy of Mr. Pitt, because we are resolutely bent oir restoring a metallic currency, and are not dis posed to repeat an experiment, which, however, neces sary, or successful in one instance, from peculiar circum 4tances, no wise man would ever wish to see repeated. !It is singular to remark, how ready some persons are 'to admire the exception rather than the rule ; there are some persons, wirose perverse admiration is like the idolatry of certain barbarous nations, wbo look on the sun in his meridian splendour without emotion, but who, while it it under an eclipse, come forth with their cimbair, and fall down to adore it ; so here those who could not venerate Mr. Pitt in the bright ness of his meridian glory, have readily offered up their tribute of worship when he has accident ally ceased to shine. (Loud cheering.) My admiration for that great man is due to him for the glorious course he ran, and for the illumination he , shed over the country. But I do not adopt even the accidental faults of that illustrious model; end I think it is not for those who tread with unequal pace in his steps, to select for their course those foot-marks in which, for a moment, and by the accidents of the ' times, he kad trodden iterry---(Lond cheering).—lf, Sir, I have said enough to musty the House. that with my whole soul I adopt, with my whale strength I will endeavour to maintain the, motion .1.111, Right Honourable ' Friend, I have said enough ; and 1 will OM detain than by going into the details of a measure, of wbich he is himself a perfect master, and of which he has made them equally masters with himself. I should have been ashamed to let this de bt& go by without declaring that I will readily take my share of the responsibility, but that I leave to my Right Honourable Friend the full and undivided honour of this measure, the glory of width, when the result is seen, must be his awn . The Right Hon. Gentleman sat down amid loud and continued cheering.
