Then, I say, it was not in my Paver to have taken ofilie, by whiCh I should have been party to a direct attack on those measures whi . I. advocated. It was not in ' my power to have ea , Viewed in any partial contessiops, which were in. othoded to-lead to greater; neither was it in my power to have acquiesced in any motion, whether general of -Partial, which bad for its object the removal of those restrictions which I consider necessary for protecting the Protestant Church and the British Constitution. If I had taken office under such circumstances, I should, in fact, have held that office only upon sufferance, and should have been liable to receive the notice of a week that I mast retire, when,perha ps,to do so,would have been snore inconvenient than under present circumstances,it is. Sir, could ! have entertained a doubt, after the example that had been set me by my Right Hon. Friend himself, that it was my duty both as a man and as a Minister, to retire immediately that my Right Hon. Friend was placed at the head of the Administration? I was, in fact, placed under circumstances nearly similar to those under which my Right Hon. Friend was himself placed in 1807, when he was invited to Emil part of an Ad ministration in which the Catholic Question was 110t40 be considered as a Cabinet question, but one on which every individual was to be permitted his own opinions, and to make his own observations. My Right Hon. Friend then stated the grounds on which he retired . from office, and he used words which I could n eve r have borne to hear applied to me, had I retained my office as Secretary of State for the Home Department. On a motion made by Mr. Stuart Wortley, now Lord Wharncliffe, in the House of Commons, on the 21st of May, 1812, my Right Hon. Friend took an opportunity of publicly stating the reasons which had induced him to decline connecting himself with those among whom the Roman Catholic Question was to be considered an open que tion. Nearly do those sentiments correspond with mine. So nearly do the motives which induced him to refuse office, compel me to retire from the public service, that I will quote his own eloquent words, to express what I think and what I feel:—" I have brim asked whether, supposing 1 had accepted the offer that was made to me, I should not have felt myself at perfect' liberty to act as my own opinions should dictate upon the great question which constitutes the main bar of separation? I reply, thu g as a Minister, I know I should have been at liberty. Ido not mean to assert, that if I had jedned the present Administration. to fight against my own principles under the banners of the Noble ;Lord, I should not still have had the power of making my solitary speech,and of giving my solitary votein sup port of opinions I had previously maintained. 1 will not even say, that them may not be honourable minds who would be satisfied with such a distinction, and it may be my misfortune, or my fault, that mine is not a mind of that construction. If, when out of o ffi ce, I have lent ' to any cause that I deemed just, my influence and my authority, I never can consent to accept office under the condition that I shall instantly divest myself of that in -gm:ace and authority which ought still to be my con. .panions, and to leave them on one great and vital ques tion, in open and wilful abeyance. Personal objections to the Noble Lord, I declare I have none; I am ac.uated . by no feeling of rivalry, and, with this particular ques tion excepted, I could have no earthly hesitation either in acting with or under him; but 1 cannot allow, that the predominance of his opinion shall stifle mine. I cannot enter the Cabinet, pretending not to know that the influence of the Noble Lord will be such as to para lyse all my feeble efforts there." The Right H .n. Gentle man then proceeded :—I am, like my Right Hon. Friend, actuated by no feeling of rivalry, Whea the question of the admission of my RightHon.Friend to the Cabinet was proposed—l mean at the period when my Right Hon. Friend was about to sail for India—my opinion of him was the same as it is now, and I kept my lips closed during my absence from town, while attending his Majesty iii Scotland ; but on my return, when ipm municating with my Noble Friend on the subject, I said, that if the accession of my Right Honourable Friend to the Ministry was deemed es.ential to the public interests, and to the public service, no personal feelings of mine, founded on the difference of our sen timents on particular questions, should induce me to offer any im; ediment to his appointment.—(Hear, hear). I bad no feeling of rivalry. Like him, on the occasion to which I have already referred, lean say, that, " per . sonal objection to him I have none. lam actuated by no feeling of rivalry. and, with this particular question .excepted, I could have no earthly hesitation either in . acting with him or under him ; but I cannot allow that _the predominance of his opinion shall stifle mine. I have,' repeat, no objection of a personal nature to act with . "Or under him, but I could not retain the place I had hitherto held in the Administration of the country, knowing that the predominance of my Right Hon. Friend would completely countervail mine on those important subjects, on which 1 had, of er the utmost deliberation, made up my mind, and expressed my opi nion (Cheers); and I felt, above all, that, in thus acting, . I must be right, following, as I did, the example of my Right Hon. Friend himselfa--(Cheers). My Right lion. Friend adds something, with respect to his views of what the duty of a Rime Minister are, and added, “"If I had joined this portus ikon of dissent, as Mr. But ke once called it, we should have framed as beau. tiful a variety as was ever assembled in so small a collection"—(Hear, hear, and laughter). 4 But," con tinued my Honourable Friend, , i in such unprecedented differences, on which side is the influence and autho- , rity of Government enlisted ? That is the main question., This man may hold a blue opinion —another, a white—a third, a green—a fourth, a yellow—and a fifth, a red ;' but with which of these shades does the sentiments of Government most nearly accord ? Undoubtedly, this point will be decided by the individual, who, holding the principal office, pie-eminently enjoys the confidence d the occupant of the Throne—and the additional weight he adds to the scale must overbalance the re- Winder. I could not, therefore, feel that I entered the Cabinet with honour, if I consented to give there a mere barren, solitary vote. I trust, although not very fairly p u t on my trial, that my conduct is completely justified ;fl abe eyes of theHouse,and of the country."' fairly own, that whatever the situation or rank I should hold in his Majesty's Government, after the line of conduct I had adopted throughout the whole of pay connection with the • • i i i ebt i as, !l a 1 .1.\&•., - . * '' 44; th en , ha ea .4, 11 -II V , P - M - I.

I have for the last twelve months felt that difficulty in the two situations in which I was placed respecting those quip 'dons...and with which my of f ice of Secretary of State Ihr" theHoine Department intermixed mit. I confess t the relation in which I stood respecting these, and in which I should have been placed, with respect to the office of Prime Minister, constituted a new difficulty in the way of my retaining office—(Hear, hear.) Lin now returned into the ranks of private life, and in nol way connected, either actually or prospectively, with office, I may be allowed to state, that I have for some time painfully felt the strange situation in which I stood in this House—in which I was the only one of his Md. Csty's Ministers who took th e view that I did of the atholic Question. I felt that my situation here was one of delicacy—of difficulty—one of a most embar rassing nature—and that it was not one in which a Mi nister of the Crown ought to be placed—(Hear, hear.) I entered, in the year 1822, upon the office which I had lately the honour to hold, with a full notion of iheline of conduct which I should and ought to pursue. In the year 1825 I said, upon the occasion of the debate on the Catholic Question, that if I retained office, it would not be for the sake of office. . On the three Bills intro duced in the course of that year—that for what is termed the Catholic Question—that for regulating the Elective Franchise in Ireland—and that for the payment of the Catholic . Clergy, which I thought would be something like establishing the Catholic religion in Ireland--I did, in commumcatine with my Noble Friend, then at the bead of the Government (Lord Livet pool) re present to him that it would be extremely painful to be separated horn my friends; but I also stated the difficolty of my situation, and my most anxious wish to be relieved from it, by being allowed to retire.— At the request of my Noble Friend, however, I con sented to gem-tin-1m deeming, as I did and do, that the person holding the situation of Secretary of State for the Home Department should be of the same opinion upon all important political subjects with the person at the head of the Government. lint I consented to retain office, only on condition that a new Parliament should be called. When I addressed the House lately on the Catholic Question—l mean when it was brought for ward by the Hon. Baronet (S .r Francis Burdett)—l did so with a feeling that I should be in a minority—and I was determined, should that expectation be verified, to retitle immediately from office—(Hear,hear). Although not treated by my Right Hon. Friends by any other than good faith, still being the single Member of Go-1 vernnient in this House who resisted that motion, I found my situation painful and difficult-,.particularly when I saw all the other Members of Administration here, not only advocating the measure , but acting in con cord with their political opponents—(Loud cheering.) I make no complaint of the conduct of any of my Right Honourable Friends—l only state it as a rea. son why my position in this House appeared to me one of difficulty. These seasons have, I repeat, for some time past influenced my mind—but if, in act ing under him with is hum I entered public life, and be tween whose opinions and my own, on public questions, them was not a shade of cl•ffereace—and if in his room 1 found my Right Hod. Friend, wi:h whom, on some important points, I differed—l felt it would be impos sible to hold the situation which I filled in the Hoene D:partrisen:—( He a., hear)—and if I could not retain I that, it is impossible that 1 could be guilty of the paltry subterfuge of removing to another—(Cheers)— no alter native, therefore, remained to me. The relation .A the office of Secretary of State for the Home D:part ment, with that of the Prime Minister, is most intimate. Not only drts all the Irish business come under the ad ministration of theHoute Se:retary, but in every instance of civil preferment—in every promotion in the Church —in short, in every instance of official appointment made by the Prime Minister,the signature of the Secre tary for the Home Department is indispensable. I must, therefore, say, that the of f ice of the Home Department should not be filled by a person differing in ()Onion from the individual holding the situation of Prime Nlittister. No other alternative presented itself to me, therefore, than that of coming into the most painful of collisions, or that of retiring from office, and a pretext for which might be found in some single isolated point, without acquainting the country with the real cause. Thus feeling, it was my duty to ; revent the occurrence of the most painful of the ahem:tiers, by retiring from office,' rather than run the risk of embarrassing the Adminis tration, and of itaerfering wall the public service, by that collision—(Hear, hear). These are my views, with reference to the Catholic Question, and with reference also to the duties of the Secretary of State for the Home Department; and, mixed up as those duties are with the affairs of Ireland, they furnish, in my mind, impe rative seasons why I should nut retain office under my Right Hon, Friend—(Hear). And, acting on these 'grounds, I did, with regret certainly, but without hesi tation, signify to his Majesty, that it was impossible for me to continue to hold office—(Hear). Whether the H. use shall deem those reasons for the step I have taken good or not, is a matter of 'little consequence to me, compared with the satisfaction of my-own mind. I feel that I would be acting inconsistently had I done otherwise, and 1 feel convinced, that the course which I pursued, will, on mature consideration, be viewed as the only one I ought, or could, have followed. In taking that course, I wished not to influence the con duct of any other person. The first individual to whom I communicated that I should not be able to take any part in the new Ministry, was my Right Hon. Friend himself. At that moment, I nut only did not make my own intention known to, but I was totally ignorant of the determination of, any other person on the point. I am sure that my Right Hon. Friend will du me the justice to say, that, en the very first oc casion, the 29th March, on which I mentioned to him my determination, I also told him what had been the stature or my feelings for some time previously, and that they dictated to me my retirement from office. That intimation was conveyed by him to the highest quarter, where no reset ve could be preserved. It cannot, therefore, be imputed to me, that I acted with precipi tancy, for, at the moment when I first mentioned my intention, I stated also the difficulties that 'presented themselves to my remaining in office. I stated that I would have felt pleasure in remaining connected with the late Administration—that if any arrangement could be made by which an individual of sufficient weight might be placed at the head of the Government, with the same principles as those which had governed my Noble Friend, I was willing to retain the same office I had previously held—(Hear). I must also state, that I de clared to my Right Hon Friend, that the CatholicQues- lion, and the connection of the ss. Secretary with that of Prime Minister, to. dilficolties that inteelered with my retention .. and that if these could be obviated, I vies read) willing to remain; but that, finding myself in the situ:. Akin I had described, I had felt from first to last I could not possibly acquiesce in my Right Honourable Fi iend's proposition for becoming a Member of the new Admi nistration. Those were the grounds for my conduct, and I t est that, in carrying my determination into tffeot, it will be seen I acted in the most c redid m ono e. I adopted this course without consulting or communing with any other Member of the late Administration— (Hear) —but although I so acted without concert with any one else, let me repel the shameful and scan dalous imputation, that they ought to be looked upon as having acted in the spirit of a cabal, and with an intention to dictate to their Sovereign—(Cheers) Let me also repel the idea that I wish my case or my situa• tion shall be distinguished or made different Irnm theirs --(Cheers.) I am ready now to meet tire charges of cons lunation brought against my Noble Friends, and am prepared to vindicate them, and to shew, that, in the course pursued by them, they were not only perfectly justifiable, but that their views, and their conduct, were psecisely those that ought to be held up as examples to others—(Cheers). Their conduct, instead of being cen surable, was worthy the imitation of all other public men—(Continued cheering). The assertion, that their resignations have been the result of cabal, is not only. not the truth, bat is directly the se of it. If there was an appearance of concert in their conduct, ihwas purely accidental--for if they could be base enough to cabal against their Sovereign, they would have had the cunning to conceal it—(Hear). I admit, that if such had, been the conduct of my Noble Friends mid Colleagues, it would have been inexcusable. Acting in conformity with the principles which always influence me, I declar ed that if the Government could be reconstituted with my former Colleagues, I might be induced again to accept office; and that, even were I not to participM in the Administration, I would give them my support"' Until the 9th of April, the very day before that on which his Majesty laid his commands on my Right Hon. Friend to form an Administration, I never spoke td my Noble Fs lend, the Lord Chancellor, on the subject ; the charge of concert in that instance, therefore, is untrue; and, upon my honour,l believe the same with respect to every other of my Noble Friends and Colleagues--(Cheers.) I do not believe that one man of them knew or was in fluenced by the intentior of the other-.-(Hear.) The charge of dictating to his Majesty is as untrue as the charge of cabal; there was no such intention on the part of any Member of the late Administration— I am convinced, therefore, that not only with respect to myself, but with respect to the Lord Chancellor, and with respect also to the illustrious individual whose 1 name will be stamped for ever upon the annals of his country—that individual who has not been more remark able for the brilliancy of his career than for the simpli city and singleness of his character and conduct, which are only comparable in extent with the respect which he bears to the kingly office, and above all, the sincerity et his devotion and attachment to the sacred person of his Majesty-1 am thus convinced, I say, that, with respect to them and myself, I have proved that this charge is as unfounded as it is base. When I see that illustrious man attacked, I see something so extraordinary in the ingratitude, as well as in the fal,elroed, of such a charge, that I can scarcely trust myself to speak of it. (Cheers.) I abstain from going further into detait, because another opportunity for doing so will be afforded me. I trust that the House will feel, that I was called upon to offer myself to their attention, and I feel deeply the indul gence with which 1 have been treated. I hope I shall be allowed, on a • matter involving considerations of great public importance, with those of strong, private, and personal, to add a few observations. mote. — (Loud cheers.) My separation from my Right Hon. Ft iend,with whom I had acted with so much cordiality, has been to me a source of great regret—a regret, however, which is much mitigated by the recollection, that I have done every thing in my power to prevent it. —(Cheers). I retire from the service of the country with regret, certainly increased, perhaps, by the reflection, that I shall not have the same opportuuities for effecting those alterations in our criminal laws—to complete which was the only distinction--the only solace—the only reward—l was ever solicitous to derive from the performance of my duty—(Cheers). I own, that in another instance I have great satisfaction in reflecting, that every incident, civil or political, connected with, my office, that has occurred during the five years thee I held it, bas been subjected to the severest scrutiny, and that I have endeavoured to act in the manner best calculated for the public service. I have, further, the satisfaction to reflect, that every law which I found on the Statute Book, that trenched upon the liberty of the subject, has been either allowed to expire,.or has been mitigated—(Loud and continued cheering). I may be a Tory, or an illiberal—but, Tory as I am, there is not a law standing pn the Statute Book, con nected with my name, that had not for its object the amelioration of our criminal code, or to simplify and promote the impartial administration of justice.— (Cheers.) —I have also the satisfaction to recollect, that during the severe trials to which the manufacturing interests of the country have been exposed for the last two years, and during the local popular movements growing out of them, and during the whole of which 1 was officially charged with the preservation of the in ternal tranquillity of the country, I did not apply to this House for any measure of extraordinary power.— (Loud cheers.) —I have ever sought, and most actively, to maintain the civil rights of the subject, while I also supported the just prerogatives of the Crown, to main tain inviolate all the anc ent institutions of the country, and have been guided throughout solely by a desire that that moral support which they derived from long pre scription and ancient custom should not be subjected to decrease, still I have been equally desirous, when it could be clearly seen, to terminate prescriptive abuse— (Hear, hear.) in the performance of that which I deemed my duty, I have had but one object in view, and in retiring from office I am supported by the con sciousness, and the only reward I solicit is the belief, that all my efforts have been directed for the public benefit.—[The Right Honourable Gentleman here sat down amid loud and long-continued cheering.] Mr. W. DUNCOMBE (of York) was quite aware that In offering himself to the attention of the House, on that important occasion, be laboured under great dir advantages, but he was anxious to take the earliest op portuuity to state that which, be was sure, was the feeling of the great majority of his constituents respect ing the retirement from office of the - Right Honourable Gentleman who had just sat down. So obvious, so well known, and so well appreciated, had been the merits of the Ili& Hon. Gentleman, that he thought it 'a is 'quite unnecessary for him (Mr. Peel) to have them. He trusted he should not be deemed , mous in saying, nevertheless, that, by the speed just delivered, the Right Hon. Gentleman 1 firmed the ',due of that character which he maintained as a Minister of the Crown, and ; tul Representative of the people—(Hear)__a possessed within him every thing that could Ise ficial to the country—who was the uncornprorni,, guardian of the principles of the British Con st i tut i on l . ' (Hear). —With that character had the Eight' tleman retired from office, but had retired, trusted, only for a vet y short time. He offett i l wn humble part, the sincere prayer that the Gentleman might enjoy, during the period epass in retirement, from the great business untt y, health and happiness—(A laugh, accompan by cheers). Since he had the honour of a seat House, he hat given his decided and unquali' skin to the Catholic Question, and his suppoi, Majesty's Government. The Right Hon. Pr ever supported that question, and it would I in that Right Hon. Gentleman to give it no, decided support; and that course it was to' the Right Hon. Gentleman would pursue, andeistood he had received the aid of those who now sat beside him, without any coma their part relative to that question. He all patticularly to the Right Hon. Gentleman's the question, as his f uture course, whrever was rendered most important by the high guished station which he now held in the Gov ernment of the country. • ' • Sir F.
