trumenta of my noble friend. The Noble Viscount stated that the revenue in 1815 was eighty millions sterling, that taxes were first of all repealed to the amount of eighteen millions, and afterwards to the amount of nine millions, making in all twenty-seven millions ; and he says that the revenue now produces in a sound currency as great an amount as it produced in a depreciated currency. Those persons who consume the article which produce the revenue must be able to purchase them, or the revenue could not exist. The increase of the revenue is a proof, then, that consumption has increased full one-third since the time when the taxes were reduced. It is impossible that the country in which the revenue, in a period of fifteen years, had risen one-third, can suffer great distress. The noble earl who spoke last referred the distress to a defi cient currency. He however, would have a paper cir culation. Now, I will tell the noble earl that the largest amount of currency in circulation at any time during the Bank Restriction Act, was sixty-four millions ster ling. The bank of England notes were thirty millions ; country bank paper, twenty-three millions ; gold, four millions ; and silver, seven millions. But in 1830 the amount of bank of England paper in circulation is 19,900,0001. of country bank paper, 9,200,0001. of gold, 28,000,0001. and of silver, 8,000,0001 making a total of 65,100,0001. It is certain, therefore, that there is more money in circulation now than there was at any period of the Bank Restriction. There can be no want, therefore, of more currency. The noble earl, indeed, says he wants an extended currency; but what he in fact wants is not an extended currency, but an unlimited currency. He would give an unlimited power to certain individuals, not to the crown, to coin as much money as they please. The noble lord wants to give them the power of lending as much capital to other in dividuals as they think proper (hear, hear !) Thus, what the noble earl wants—what I say the country cannot have (cheers,) without incurring that ruin from which it so narrowly escaped in 1825—is an unlimited paper currency. The noble earl says, in the West of England a man cannot borrow money, though his corn yard and his barns are full. The banker will not lend his own capital, he says, because he cannot make a profit of it; but the banker would make a profit by discounting bills, with which he is not content, and he will not lend because he cannot have also the profit of issuing 11. notes. What is wanted by these gentlemen— what the noble earl would vote for to-night—is not more circulation, but an unlimited circulation. He would give a power to individuals to make any quantity of money they pleased, which they might then lend to individuals without any security whatever. There are plenty of proofs that there is no want of money in the country. Never, at any period, was there a greater quantity of capital ready to be embarked in any scheme whatever. Any man who could set on foot a scheme with come plausibility, was sure to obtain money to carry it into execution. There was no power in Europe or America, neither Portugal nor Brazil ; there was no government, however bankrupt— which could not get money to borrow in England. No man who possessed any thing like tolerable security need want money. There was never more capital ready to be employed than at this moment. I am sorry to trouble your Lordships at such great length, but I thought it necessary to reply to the noble earl's speech. My Lords, in answer to all the declarations which your Lordships have heard to-night, respecting the evils of free trade, of a change in the currency, and other things, I have one fact to state, and it is this : Since the year 1815, and principally since the Bank restriction was taken off, measures have bihn adopted to relieve the coun try of taxes, to the amount of twenty-seven millions ster ling ; and measures have been also adopted to reduce the charge for national debt between three and four mil lions a year, that being the interest on nearly a hundred millions sterling. I beg your lordships will bear this c:reunistance in mind ; and, let me tell you, that all the advantages of a so-called equitable adjustment will never equal the advantage already obtained from measures of this description. We have relieved the country, since the bank restriction act was repealed, of taxes to the amount of nine millions, and of a considerable portion of the charge for the national debt. When I say we, Ido not take this credit on myself—it is due to the noble lord on the cross bench (Lord Bexley,) and to the noble viscount , opposite Lord Goderich ; but I entreat your lordships not to deprive the present government, the administration, of the power of irritating them. We have adopted measures of economy, which will hereafter be submitted to your lordships ; measures for saving every shilling which is not absolutely necessary for the honour and welfare of the country ; and we only desire that the same confidence may be placed in us as was placed in them, that we may be enabled to carry our plans of reform and economy into execution. The Earl of CLANRICARDE and Lord KING TM@ to gether, but the former said he meant to detain their lord ships but a few minutes, and the latter gave way. The not;!e marnuess accordingly proceeded to address their 10rd:414 s on the subject of our foreign policy, and corn phined that the observation of the noble earl on this sub ject had been misrepresented. by the noble duke. The noble earl had bad no oppoitunity before of touching on Clat subject. There had been no information before their lordships. He bad himself given notice of a motion on this subject at the close of the last session, and then the papers were brought down voluntarily, but they were net pre , . sented to their lordships till three weeks after they had been laid before the House of Commons. There was , therefore, no oppo r t un ity o f di scuss i ng t h e question of Portugal, and the noble earl had, consequently, been un able to bring it under discussion. He supposed that the bowl , vrouid soon be called on to recognise Don Miguel ; b..:t he hoped, before that were the case, every information ould be given which would make it convenient to discuss Cie question. He knew that a noble friend of his—a noble viscount—had been sent on a mission to the Brazils, wad he hoped some information would be laid before their lordships respecting that mission and its results. He oungrutulated the government that it was able to extract matter of satisfaction from that defeat of the Turks which It had formerly looked forward to with so much appre hension. He congratulated their lordships on the peace whish has overthrown a state, the preservation of which they regarded as essential to the interests of Europe. The Earl of ABERDEEN did not affirm that the recog ration of Don Miguel would take place ; but before it, if it were thought proper, ample information would be laid before their lordships. At least, should his majesty's ministers think it right to take that step, information fully to justify it would be laid before their lordships. That - he meat den' information to be laid before their lordships was to jus tify that measure after it was taken, or consult their lordships on the propriety of taking it? In the early part of the noble earl's speech he had stated that in formation would be given before taking the step ; but he had afterwards stated, that when it had been taken, it would be justified, which made it necessary that their lordships should understand whether the information was to be given before acknowledging Don Miguel or afterwards. His noble friend had received an unme- rited rebuke from the noble duke. The noble earl op posite had for two years refused all information on the subject, on the ground that it would be injurious to his majesty's service. He indeed said he was desirous, above all things, to lay that information before their lordships—that he panted for the time to come when his duty to his majesty would allow him to give an explanation ; but the noble earl had allowed one ses sion to pass without giving the information ; then the noble earl was privately informed that a motion was to be made on the subject ; and then the noble earl, after the papers had been laid on the table of the House of Commons for three or four weeks, thought proper to ley them on the table of that house. They formed a large volume, not explained by any comment, and not com plete. They were laid on the table without one single observation, one single remark, being essentially in complete and garbled. Before that night there had been no opportunity 'to notice this volume ; and when hie noble friend had done it, with that eloquence and perspicuity for which he was distinguished, the noble duke turned round on him, and said why this is an old story—why did not you notice this before ? The papers submitted to their lordships did not contain half the case ; they did not explain the conduct of his majesty's government, which he considered to have been peculiarly bad and disgraceful. He hoped that some further expla nation would be submitted to their lordships. He did not wish to press for the information before that period arrived when it might be safely given ; but before the period arrived when Don Miguel should be recognised, he thought it would be necessary to have whatever information the government possessed before them. Their lordships were told, the session before the last, that it was to the august head of the House of Bra ganza they must look for the termination of all their difficulties, and a mission had been sent out to ef fect a reconciliation, or at least to suggest the principles and basis on which a reconciliation might be effected ; but not one word was to be found in the notable papers mentioned of the propositions which had been made, or in what manner they had been received—of all these not one word had been laid before their lordships. Both houses would, he hoped, think it right to inquire what were the principles on which it was proposed to terminate this state of things, and what were the causes of the failure, before they consented to the bad, the disgraceful measure of acknowledging a bloody usurper over a country which was * more necessary than all other coun tries to the welfare of England ; but which, by a strange series of mismanagements, had, within the last two years, been completely estranged from the people and Government of England. (Hear.) They had told us that Turkey was necessary to the balance of power in Europe--that this country must desire always to see it independent and strong. But the noble duke now congratulated himself at a peace which had destroyed the independence of Turkey. He did not know of what use it was to this country to uphold one of the most odious and detestable tyrannies that had ever existed ; and which had done more mischief to the world than any other tyranny. He regretted that the Russians had not taken Constantinople—he regretted it very much (hear, hear and a laugh). If they had taken Constantinople, the noble duke would have sent no fleet to prevent it, what ever might have been his declarations. The value of such professions was now known, and nobody would trust them. The Earl of ABERDEIN explained, that when his majesty's ministers were disposed to take any step with respect to renewing our diplomatic relations with Por tugal, they would not ask the noble lord's advice. When the time came, information would be laid before their lord ships, which would justify the advice the ministers might give. If be said it had not taken place before it was necessary, he did not mean that the country was driven by any urgent necessity to acknowledge Don Miguel. The noble lord had used some terms in speaking of him which he could not entertain. He had never been that Prince's advocate ; but he believed that there were great exaggerations respecting him which were not jus tified by anything which he (Lord Aberdeen) had heard. He knew what the spirit of party was, and he knew how that could overcharge the character of princes. His character might well deserve what was said of him ; he did not mean to defend or to palliate the conduct of Don Miguel ; but it was possible that his conduct bad been mis represented by party spirit. He was surprised to bear the noble lord object to acknowledging an usurper; for he should have thought he would have been the last man to have made such objections. If he recollected right, the noble lord had no objection formerly to acknowledge an usurper who had been chosen by the people. Don Miguel fiad been chosen by the people, and he never remembered any person who had dethroned the lawful monarch that had received greater support. Had he been originally some obscure person— had he not been illustrious by his birth and high station, he might, perhaps, have been glorified, and been thought a happy traitor ; but with out referring to him, attending only to the interests of England, the question would be decided whether or not the English government should acknowledge him ? It was the interest of 'England to preserve the coon • hea with Pdrtugal. At present that connection had heft interrupted for a longer period than at any other time ibir these two hundred years, during which the countries one common interest, and had gone on in amity. It was not only our amicable relations which were interrupted,. tending to injure the union which had so long-sub sisted, but the interruption was opening the ways to of powers to fill up our place. If we went on as we war. going, other powers would not fail to take advantage it, and we should be acting contrary to what had been lie settled policy of this country for a great many reit Whenever' the recognition should take place; the h • should b the fullest information, so as to enable it to '• form ajudgment of the event, and he had no doubt but the house and•the country-would be satisfied of its pre ' priety whenever it"oecutred. LordHoLlaiD, in explination : The noble earl'aild be would not ask his advice ;. nor would he ask the ad vice of parliament. The - noble earl formed• his opinion independently' of all other'people, and or all' other Mop sideritions, except those relating to himself . and * . Parliament ; and-the public and a humble indivilluti like himself, were to bil informed when• the seer taken. He celled' Don' Miguel' eti usurper; he Was an usurper; and not" only ace salmi, hitt' n, breaker of• those promises he bad..enUed on •us- to wit . neer: He , lead broken his flick , with. Op sad .be , ba I usurped, the criiirn tblibittab . iii 'had' invbill'athigisnisni... , • pel usurped' the creWii'ort 1 . 46 . relation,, after • "eireatc , log most , solemnly that he would &roma sad serve it: •~ - h It was not exactly as an usurper that he spoke, if he were the governor of the.country de facto it might be our duty to acknowledge him. The noble earl said, that he (Lord Holland) was fond of usurpers, and had been ready to acknowledge them. If the noble earl al luded to Napoleon Bonaparte, he would not pay Bona- 1 parte such a bad compliment as to say that he was a very different person from Don Miguel. If Bonaparte was an usurper, he did not know whose throne he usurped—he was made the governor of the country by the law, and had the same right to the throne of France—a Parliamentary right—as the illustrious family under whom the people of this country lived had to the throne of Great Britain. He was not an usurper. The noble earl said it was the interest of this country to keep up our relations with Portugal. He was of the same opinion, but he main tained, that the conduct of his majesty's ministers bad lost us all our interest in that country. It did not signify whether Don Miguel was king, or whether the constitu tionalists were in power, or whether the government was vested in Donna Maria ; the present was the first pe riod in the history of that country in which the public mind in Portugal, of all parties, was so decidedly hostile to England, that it sought support in Spain, or in France, or in any other country, rather than have recourse to England. The present government had military posses sion of Portugal at the time they succeeded to the ad ministration, and they had mismanaged matters in such a disgraeeful manner that we had lost our most neces sary and useful ally. The noble earl said he would not ask advice before he acknowledged Don Miguel. He would not ask advice of either House of Parliament ; but he hoped that the House of Lords and the other house of Parliament would not ask the advice of his majesty's ministers ; and in particular would not ask the advice of the noble earl, before they resolved to obtain infor mation ; and that some opportunity would speedily be taken to get all the information connected with this sub ject laid before the parliament, particularly all the infor mation connected with that disgusting outrage and that violation of the law which had been perpetrated off Ter 'sire. The noble earl had insinuated that he loved revo lutions, and did not love legitimate governments ; but such language was perhaps unparliamentary—it was cer tainly not proper language to use in that house, and still less was it proper in the mouth of one who held such a high official situation as the noble earl. The Earl of WINCUILSEA supported the amendment. He contended that the distress was unparalleled, and he regretted that the speech from the throne should have noticed it so slightly. The distress never was so great, and the public mind was completely disheartened. Either the advisers of the Crown had taken no pains to obtain information, or they had misrepresented the case to his Majesty, or they had told him that legislation could supply no remedy. Earl STA )1 HOPE, in reply, stated that he intended, were his motion for a general inquiry complied with, to follow it up by a motion fur a special inquiry on each particular branch of the subject, which would give the noble duke an opportunity of explaining his theories about the currency. Lord Kix° objected to the speech because it did not at all convey the extent of the distress that existed. They were told it was temporary, but after fifteen years peace it was still increasing. He would contend, that if go ,vernment had the disposition, they had the means of cure. The noble lord and his friends were suffering now because they encouraged by their voice, and supported by their votes, the depreciation of the currency, and the suffering was just in proportion to the degree of excess in which they indulged their wishes with respect-to that currency. He remembered some lines of a poet; which he considered exceedingly applicable to the situa tion and expressions of those persons, and which wete not more remarkable for their severity than for their truth. " Ye mimed squires and scathed nobility; What boots it uow to raise a loud lament, Of grinding taxes and of falling rent, ,And fIU our Senate with your senseless cry? Time was the coming mischief to prevent, But then with flinty heart and tearless eye, You saw your peasants droop—your soldiers die ; Hind paid with rags, and troops to Wakberen sent. A sturdy swain deprived of his weed, Even by your war made slavish, lean, and poor ; What reeled ye—you but gained an ample store. So now shall pity leave you in your need. Unmoved we bear you rant, and howl, and roar; For none who taste of woe have e'er deserved it more.' The noble lord then proceeded to contend that the' various monopolies were the great cause of the general distress now existing, and concluded with proposing the following amendment : That after fifteen years of uninterrupted peace, this house la ments that the general condition of the people is not materially im proved, nor the prosperity of the country perceptibly increased. That, on the contrary, the landed and manufacturing interests. as well as the traders and the labouring classes of every descripties, have frequently been afflicted, and still continue to be weigh* down by severe distress. That it is the duty of parliament to en. mine into the causes which have produced these distresses, and to remove, if possible, the impediments which retard the propess of the national prosperity. " That the necessaries of life and the materials of agriculture ass made dear by taxation and regulation. By these means too mush taken from the industrious classes, and, in many instances, We much is given to the privileged classes of society. "That it Is a grievous aggravation of the public burdens, in addle *Nate near fifty millions of taxes, deemed necessary for the public IMPIlee, still further to suffer enormous sums to be extorted from the people by the intolerable monopolies of corn, beer, sugar, and ten, nod brother articles established for the private benefit of pow's hi and favoured classes, at the expense of the great body of ass+ MMus and of the pubUc good. By these monopolies the cost of the first necessaries of Ufe is enhanced, the rate of profit in all trades is diminished. capital I. driven abroad to seek a more profitable employment, and the pro. dsedve powers of the national industry greatly reduced.

That our own exclusion from the great market of the world, and the cessation of demand at home, are the necessary consequences of our own measures, because It Is in the nature of things that a nation which refines to buy the productions of other countries cannot sell its own. " That we can only expect to derive permanent relief from our distresses and impoverishment in our condition, from the strictest economy in every brooch of the public expenditure, from the abo- Ution of all exclusive privileges and monopolies ; from an unre stricted supply of the int necessaries of life, and of the materials of manufacture, and from a real free trade, by which the whole community, as consumers, will be greatly hemline& the labour ing classes enabled to procure a fair reward, the capitalist to aug ment those funds by which all labour is supported, and the efli. ciency of British industry permitted to produce its natural result in enriching the country, and thus to restore and secure the public prosperity." The Earl of DARN LEY regretted that there was no allusion to Ireland in the speech. Much had been dour, 1 for that country, but much yet remained to do. The Duke of WELLINGTON should have some measure relating to Ireland to propose to their lordship,. dining the session : (hear, hear.) The Marquis of LA NODOW N deprecated the plane of the noble earl (Stanhope,) which were calculated and in tended to re-introduce a paper currency, and they knew from experience, that if such a currency was once intro duced, it would lead to an unlimited issue : (hear, bear, from the Duke of Wellington.) If they were once to allow an issue, however small, he knew it would be impossible to stop at any thing short of an unlimited issue. For his part, he considered the address satisfactory, as it• ad mitted the distress, and did not preclude inquiry if it war thought necessary. In explaining the grounds of hie vote in favour of the address, the noble marquis then took occasion to express his pleasure in the announcement that Greece was about to be established in a state of independ ence and power, which would enable her to repel any infidel invader; for he contended that if, as he had long believed, the Turkish empire was verging to ruin, it, was the policy and interest of England to place her in such a condition by land and sea, as would render her a worthy ally, united to us by maritime and social interests, as well as by religion. He hoped, therefore, that no attempt would be made to restrain her boundaries, and he waited with patience, but with confidence, for the announcementof the final set tlement. After observing, that he feared the course proposed to be adopted by the nobb earl (Aberdeen) with respect to Portugal, was not the most respectful to wards the Parliament, nor that which would best accomplish the ends he had in view, the noble mar quess praised the announcement of the reductions of ' expenditure contained in the speech, and expressed his conviction that the noble duke would, in that part of his policy which enforced retrenchment, have the support of ' every man of public spirit on either side of the house. He concluded by expressing his pleasure that Ireland enjoyed a state of comparative prosperity, and repeated I his intention to vote for the address. The question was then put on the brat amendment, sod the house divided,whea there appeared for the Address— Content.. .... 71 I Not Content.... .... ..9 Majority against the amendment .. —69 Their Lordships adjourned at TW/ILVI o'clock to Monday next. 3011011111 T AGAINST 2111 ADDRILIII.
