At II o'clock yesterday his Majesty presided at a Council of Ministt rs. lie afterwards gave • special audience to the Preach Ambassador for Naples. The King and Queen left Path at three o'clock for Neuilly. A gentleman, just arrived from Madrid, states that the Duke d'Angou. fr me I s expected there, and that that Prince and M. de Bourmont ate to plue themselves immediately at the head of the Preach emigrants, whose number increases daily. Ms also said that an order for a levy of 160,000 men has been given in the Peninsula. It would be useless to contra. diet these absurd reports as their falsity must be apparent to every one. The Duke of Orleans arrived at St. &Immo on the 10th instant. His Royal Highness was received in the most affectionate manner by the entire of the inhabitants.

Nov. 14.—The Prefect of this Department has just received a despatch from the Frolltier% in the direction of Puycerda, coofirming the account of General Gurrea's having encountered the Count d'lts pagne, and completely routed his troops. The Sub-Prefect of Prade has just sent to inform our Prefect that, in consequence of the above occur rence, he had given orders for the whole of the troops in the environs to march upon the frontiers. On Thursday, the 181, 111.0dillon Barret, Prefect of the Department of the Seine, received at the Hotel Je Ville an American Deputation, which was sent in the name of the City of Philadelphia, to coogra. tulate the Parisians upon the courage and derermination which they displayed in their late triumph. This Deputation was presented by Gen. Lafayette. A letter from Bagnores, dated the Ilth instant, an. nounces the complete defeat of Gurrea. Overpowered by superior forces, and unremittingly pursued, the Constitutionalists, after wander ing three days through the mountains, in the midst of snow, and the greatest difficulties, were at last obliged to enter France through the valley of Aran, and are at this moment in the neighbourhood of !lagoons de L uchen. Six of the Constitutionalists (prisoners) had been shot by the Royalists. Ourrea instantly had recourse to cruel reprisals, and had a Commandant and five of the Royalist volunteers shot ; they had been taken prisoners a short time before.— 4/tugger des Chambers. PARIS (Sunday morning).—The Temps of this day has an article upon the decision of the Belgian Congress respecting the Duchy of Lux. entboutg. which deserves attention. It shows the light in which the question is considered here by the influential men. The Belgians have had clearly in view to commit France with Prussia and the German Diet on this subject. Knowing that the former power cannot consent upon an invasion of the Belgian provinces, they have determined to push still further is compromise, and make it guarantee the of Luxembourg. This case complicates the affair very much. l i nt busadon of the Foreign Powers have become very particular upon the true construction of the principle of non-intervention invoked by France on account of the Belgian question. They have strenuously re. quired the non-connivance of this country in the affairs of Spain— and demanded and obtained that the Spanish Constitutionalists shall be ordered to march to the interior of France, collecting themselves in the depots of Bourges and Limoges. As the resources with which their warlike object might ooly be accomplished, depended upon the persuasion that the goverment of co party was hostile to their plan, as soon as it has been known that stipulations contrary to their interest bad been entered into by Ministers with the Foreign Ambassadors, the ca. pita/ists wbo supplied the money have stopped their advances, and this Is the real cause of their retreat into France ; otherwise the em ploy _ of force would have been melees to drive them into the interior. We are without further news from Catalonia than that to be found in the jour nals of this day under the head of Perpignan. The account was pre valent and credited in Perpignan. The Minister received It from the Prefect almost in the same terms. —Letter he the Morning Herold. The following circular has been addressed by the new Minister of War to the Lieutenants. General, Inspectors-General of Arms, and to the Commandants of the Military Divisions and Subdivisions : "Pars, Nov. 18. GEwsaaL r —Called by the King's confidence to the bead of the War Department, I establish my relations with the army by acquainting you with the principles of my administration. In nem-ding a minister who has added to the lustre of his splendid military career, by the noble put be took in our glorious revolutMn, it is my intention to imitate him in his acts, his ardent patriotism, his respect for the laws, his love of pub lic liberty, and the sentiment of French Like him I felt, that in the first moments of agitation which the miraculous liberation of France necessarily produced, discipline must have ex some re laxation ins few of the corps. At present the least can no longer be excused. The Generals, the chiefs, sod isms of ovary rank, would be responsible for it, and could not remain empushited. Rallied round the standard which for £.5 years shed lustre upon Feams,we should all feel that obedience to the laws is our first duty ; saboission, and the observance of discipline, the ntle of our conduct. Under the egg these principles, the army may be assured that impartial justice will protect its rights, repel favour, and ensure to merit alone its reward. Depositary of the glory of arms, the army will preserve this pledge of honour, to transmit,without stain, the noble name of French soldiers. The calling of several classes of young soldiers under the standard will require, General, all your sesi,aod that of the avers under your command. 'The formation of new battalions and quadrons, the training of corps, a firm and vigilant administration, will claim your utmost attention. You will, of course. render me an e xact account of these results. A grand national movement has taken place before your eyes. In support of the l a w, and for the mainten a nce of French independence, the National Guards hastened (mu every direction, at the voice of the country. Springing from the same origin, the army should look upon them as fellow-citizens and brethren. The concurrence of these two forces ensures public tran quillity, and is the guarantee °trace. A revision of the military laws and institutions is preparing. To secure the comfort of the soldier—to make him love his country and the laws—to widen the career before him —to facilitate his promotion--to respect, and even increase, the legal guarantees of his future existence, is the wish of a Mop who, on the first day of our liberty, fought in the ranks of the army. Asa soldier of the same army, I shall be happy to contribute to the accomplishment of his noble intentions; but in order to attain that end, I must rely, General, upon your zeal in seooo dioe Believe me, &c. " Marshal Duke of DALMATIA." The Minister of Justice has addressed a circular to the Procureurs- General of all the departments, directing them to see that all the lieu's de-lis which decorate the Courts of Justice be 'raced. The National Guards of Paris and the departments are raising a subscription to pre. sent a monumental vase in silver gilt to General Lafayette. Serious disturbances have broken out at the School .of Law. On Wednesday, at the close of M. de Ponces lecture, applause being expressed by some, it was immediately drowned by violent hisses, and ales of " A has Is Jisuite !" " A has de Poetess 1" " A has le Pio. femur par Ordonnance !" Yesterday, from the beginning of his lecture, M. de Poetess was not only hooted and hissed, but pelted with eggs and roasted apples ; he, however, persevered for nearly an hour, when he was forced to leave the lecture-room, the students expressing by cheers their joy at his retirement. Freon the Journal de Paris. One of the National Guards, who was recently on duty at Vincennes, relates that Messrs. de Poßinse and Guernon d e Renville mantain ex. traordinary composure and cheerfulness. The ex-President of the Council expel:Ear great admiration of the National Guards, their fine appearance and prompt organisation. He states that he has just finished a calculation of the expense which their formation in the whole king dom must have occasioned. As to N. Gutman de Renville, he spend' part of the day in singing, and part in talking upon public affairs. Strange to say, the Marseilleise Sods in him a new organ ; so that his friend Chantelauae, whose ears are not delighted with the constantly hear ing this song of liberty, often begs him to be silent, or to sing a ins po pular and patriotic song. N. de Oleos, farmaly Sub-Prefect of Nar. bonne, having obtained a judgment whereby the inhabitants of the township of Vilkiecque were deprived of' the right of pasturage on some lands th e y had for some time enjoyed, and showed a dition to maintain it by force, went to the spot, accompanied by his son and a party of gendarmes, in order to enforce the decree. They found them selves opposed to about 50 of th e people ; and having in vain Bledupon them to retire, fired upon them, and killed two men. The var. gesnce of the people was instantaneous and terrible, for before the gees. darmes could interpose, the father and son were both massacred. The new Sous-Prefect of Narbonne, on first hearing of this event, imme diately went to the place with a detachment of 150 men of the National Guard, and 50 of the Line; several of the culprits have bean arrested. and jwnice is actively employed in pursuit, and to punish this crime."

Nearly at the same time Mr. Douglas, a respectable English merchant, returning home from a friend's house about one o'clock, with another gentleman, was met by some police soldiers as he was about to enter his house, and asked what they were doing in the streets at that time of night ? They answered they were going to enter their home. Upon which the soldiers said they bad no business to be out so late. And, on some shop reply being ut tered, they were both arrested and taken to the guard-house, where they remained all night. Next day they were both taken before the Magis trate, accused of having abused the King, Don MigueL Mr. Douglas on this was sent to the castle of gt.

A loan of 2,000,000 of mikes', or 6,000.000 of crusades, has been opened by the Minister of Finance, to bear I per cent. interest, and the amount to be paid, one. half in currency, or one-quarter in cash and one-quarter in paper money, and the other half in bonds of unfunded debt to the reformed officers and widows, which bonds have only been worth from 17 to 20 per cent. 200,000 mlirees have been subscribed already, but only by a few men known to be entirely in the interest of government, and who figure there merely as lures to fools ; but fools in money matters there are very few here, as elsewhere. The imprisonments have been renewed lately with great activity; so that it is reported that even Telles Jordao bas said that there must be some mistake, as it is Impossible for so many thousands to be all equally criminal. Nothing transpires from what goes forward in Spain; but the Madrid Gazette has been quite silent lately in its °Meal part. Many reports about some stir and deser tion of troops in our northern provinces, which we hold for the usual fudge.— Letter in the Times. SPIRIT OP Mt JOURNALS. Thurs.—Lord Grey's declaration is as satisfactory as " words" can be to the sane and intelligent part of the community z the acts must follow and confirm the words, and we shall be content. We hall with great satisfaction the accession of so respectable a nobleman as Lord Wharncliffe to the cause of reform, but there is another and more im. portant auxiliary. Among the friends of Parliamentary Reform—of a temperate, rational, and definite reforns—there now appears the Sing of England himself. We do not say this with a view to sway the decision of parliament upon the momentous question,butin order to rescue hie Ma. jesty from that odium to which be would be unjustly subjected if irwere thought for an instant that he *me opposed to the universal wish °filth loyal subjects in a matter that appertains to their Apts. And while • the cause of reform boasts such a partisan, let Minimises recollect by whom it has been chiefly defeated before, and by tam, next to an insincere master, the continuance of men of their ia office has been universally abridged. This mischief has been always effected by the adherents of that old faction of Pitt and plunder, of which the Go. vernment avenues were never sufficiently cleared. While the present Ministers, therefore, impose retrenchment, and cut down extravagsocim wherever they can, they will, if they are wise, be extremely careful to select for the efficient and indispensable offices which remain in Church and State, men of their own opinions, and who have but too often been the victims of these opinions in their several professions and pursuits. Caton mtg.—The great disease of the English social system is eon. stant interference with the labouring people. A shoe cannot be mended for a child in a village, or a new pair of atocklnp purchased, except through the complicated instrumentality of overseas and magistrates. The people have in this way been taught that everything ought to be done for them. We must gradually retrace our steps. Instead of making the poor subjects for all manner of fanciful experiments, they must be placed in a situation in which they out take ears of them. salves. The perversion of the poor laws to the creation of what was called • reserve pf labour, has created a redundant popula tion, and the temptation to poaching afforded by the Game Laws to are. dundant population, has formed everywhere bands of vspbonda. We have long and often warned the gentlemen of England ef their danger. But the iseincipal feature of the times is the cowardice of the Great Un paid. A number of Magistrates are known to have skulked—endea vouring, on one subterfuge or the other, to keep out of the way. It is obvious that vigour and spirit at the outset would have prevented the mischief. But every Magistrate wished to keep out of the way of dan ger, and to throw the responsibility on his neighbour. Tux Trento.—We regret to state that the disturbances in the coun. try still condone unabated, though the apprehension of the ringleaders in several parts, which is the first step towards their punishment, must also lead to the exposure of all the secret counsels, if there be any. For our own parts, we cannot help observing that there is no general propo sition or ;violation for the rise of wages. Something ought to be done in this way ; and the obstinacy of the farmers and the land-owners, in still resisting every measure of that tendency, is most undoubtedly the principal cause why public tranquillity was at first disturbed, and why It remains so. The pretext thit no concession should be made to threats, that there must be no yielding to intimidation, is a very tinny one in. deed. Every one acknowledges that the wage are too low, and men ought to do what is right, wbather they are threatened ano. 11211LALIN—In all criminal cases, be it remembered, the maxim of the constitution of England is, that the jurors are judges both of the law and ties fast. The presiding judge, it is true, assists them with his opinion, but the decision is their own. Is it not, therefore, of great importance to the administration of justice that the spirit of the laws should not be in opposition to the consciences of jurors ? We are told by the theorists who are satisfied with a !Turku re form, and who mistake superficial alteration for substantial improve. meat, that those statutes commonly called "Peel's Acts" have re. formed the Criminal Law. We took occasion, last 80111100 of parliament, while the sanguinary Forgery Bill was under die. ' mission, to show that this was a delusion—that the amend ment Introduced by those statutes, was, for the most part, one of fortis, not of subststics--si recasting of the outufesr, not an improvement of the spirit of the law. We did not rest upon general assertions—we adduced proofs ; the object of our special attack, at that time, was Sir Robert Peel's Forgery Bill, which, like his other Bills, altered the outward form of cruel and inhuman enactments, and cut off some obsolete severities, without extracting the core of basikarisst by which the criminal laws are pervaded. The House of Commons. after several discussions on that Bill, concurred with our view of the question, and threw it out on the third reading, in spite of the most active exertion of Treasury influence, as disgraceful to a Christian coun. try and a civilised age. The Jurors of London perfectly coincide with us in opinion upon the statutes in question; for they say that "the re teat Acts, passed with the professed intention to amend and improve the criminal laws, have not remedied the evil of which an enlightened cow. munity have the greatest reason to complain, but have still left those laws a disgrace to our civilisation, by retaining the opprobrious distinc tion of being the most sanguinary of any in Europe." Porn.•-No Wilda' appointment which the recent change in the misery has occasioned, is likely to be auen led with such serious come. queues, as the nomination of Mr. Brougham, to All the high office of Lord Chancellor of England; thus placing in the hands of one of the most rancourous and inveterate enemies of the Church, the disposal of its vast patronage, and the selection of its highest dignitaries.

ST.ITE OF THE COUNTRY. KENT. WEALD or KENT, Nov. 20.—1 n the district of country between Cranbrook and Tunbridge, in the Weald of Kent, there have been no tumultuous assemblages of the peasantry of consequence since Tuesday last. The excitement in their minds seems to be subsiding, under the influence of the measures now in progress fur the improvement of their condition. These measures are (although they are somewhat of a vague character, from the desire of the parties making than not to commit thernselves)—an increase of wages (the average will probably be about 2s. per diem), to be paid in money ; means to be taken for their employment during the winter . • extended relief from the parish to be given, to be judged of by each particular case ; and petitions to the Legislature, which after reciting their grievances, pray for a reduction of taxation, and the revision of the Tithe Laws There seems to be also an understanding that the price of wood for fire shall be reduced, and the rents of cottages lowered. Some of these are disproportionahly high; and no inducement, except the necessity of having lodgings, could have operated on the peasantry, to persuade them to make such engagements, their numbers having outgrown the means of accommoda tion.. At a Meeting at which I was present the other day, I was struck With the ill-favoured and careworn character of the appear. ante of the majority. There were few stout or able men appa. rattly among them, in proportion to their numbers ; however, 'on inquiry, I was told the best description of the la bourers of the parish were not present. The change of the Ministry has been bailed with great satisfaction by the middling and lower ortkrs ge nerally ; and in some parishes they have set the bells ringing. Ido not anticipate any further mobs, unless there is some new cause for excite. mint, but an evident mistrust genera T il a r prevails. The higher order of landholders, magistrates, and prinoi clergy, in their addresses and circulars, recommend measures of re ief. hut do not come forward to set the exam le themselves. The fanners and tenantry, seeing this, are apprehensive all extra expenies of the peasantry will fall on them; hence, and not nom any indisposition to contribute to the comforts of d iartak the labourers, their resolutions eof a vague character. and although the try may be fie for the pigment, Ido not believe they are . Now is the t , however, for the Legislature to step in with means of relief from taxation. HABIPSHIRg . AND WILTSHIRE. The multitudes who assembled in the streets of Andover on Friday, continued together in a formidable attitude until dusk, when they began to separate. When the greater part of them had retired from the scene of action, 30 or 40 special constables rushed upon those who remained, used their staves with considerable efibet, and took into custody one of ringleaders. The rest left the town grumbling and swearing to be revenged. Soon afterwards the rick-yard and barns of a farm of Sir Henry Wilson at Barton, about live miles from Andover, were set fire to, and burnt to the ground. In the night an applic ation was, It was understood, made for the fire-engine at Andover, but those who had aerie of it refused to let it be taken from the town, as Barton was not within the parish of Andover, and there were apprehen sions entertained that the engine m it t be required at home. On the road from Andover to Wallop, a distance of seven miles, *neither man nor beast was to be seen 111 work in the field. The whole agricultural population, fauns: sod were assembled in a large field at Wallop. The labourers had been the habit of receiving only eight abiilinp a weak. The farmers propoied to raise the wages to ten shit hags, provided they would render assistance Y'ding the rents, tithes, and taxes lowered. To this proposition the > agreed, end the farmers, eight or nine in number, proceeded NI the house of J. Blunt Esq. the proprietor of the great tithes, and deem a reduction of the moat of the present year's tithes. Mr. B. who is very ill, replied, that be would reduce his tithes in proportion to the increased rate d which the farmers intended to pay to the laborers; but this 000e w esdaa did not satisfy the Comm They declared that the dike was too indefi nite, and they demsdid that Mr. Blain should reduce the rent one third. To this phaphltiss, disproportionate as it was to the increase of the'wegss of the blenrees, M• Blunt hesitated to assent; upell which the farmers mid the labourers were waiting to receive his answer before they could think of returning to their work. Mr. Blunt perceiv ing bow desperate the case was, then replied, that although be consi dered it a robbery, yet, under the circumstances, he must submit, and be complied with the demand. The men all returned to their work Immediately. The inhabitants of Salisbury are in a wretched state of alarm and excitement. In the neighbouring villages all the threshing machines are either destroyed or about to be taken down by the farmers. Every. where the labourers are striking, and demanding an increase of wages.— The labourers,on being questioned by Mr. Hunt on Saturday, said, " We don't want to do any mischief, but we want that the poor children, when they go to bed, should haves bellyful of 'gators, instead of crying with half a bellyfuL" T letters have been sent to great numbers of the farmers in the neighbourhood, and some fires have ensued. Saturday, our Corres pondent was credibly informed, that many of the neighboring farmers came into Salisbury to insure their property, which had been threatened, and wets of the Fire-office, prudently refused to take the insurances. One farmer, with tears trickling down his cheeks, complained of the re fusal, and s aid he was sure his property would be burnt, and his rain would be the sonsequence. Some of the gentry at Salisbury are under cap prehensions that Mr. Hunt about to the dandified la although he has laboured hard to prevent the existence of the unfortunate misunderstanding between al It is reported that the Wiltshire Yeomanry Cavalry have bad orders to bold themselves in readiness. ATTACK ow Ma. BARING'S or 0111AVOIC.— Friday morning a considerable number of labourers assembled at Ahtsford, and proceeded to the residence of Alexander Baring, Esq of the Grange, near that town, where they committed semi' acts of wanton violence, and as saulted and very much ill.treattd a son of Sir Thomas Baring's who happened to be there, and who attempted to expostulate with them on the impropriety of their conduct. violence was of to alarming , a nature, that it was deemed necessary to call in military aid, and an express was dispatched at a late hour to Portsmouth ; early on Satur day morning, some troops arrived at Alresford in carriages drawn by post.hoeses ; since which comparative tranquillity has been restored. Friday :evening, about a quarter before eleven, the furze near the Canteen, on Soutbsai COMMA, was discovered to be on fire; the flames were, however, fortunately prevented from sding to any pest ex tent by the Preventive Service men. Imm ediate ly close to the See, a bag was found among the furze, containing a quantity of matches, and several lumps of piteh, and some shavings. Places hitherto secluded from popular commotion have been vi sited by incendiaries, and there is too much meson to believe (states • ent) that there are &geot, of some vile conspiracy travelling th all the country to effect the work of distraction and to incite the ring classes to meet and commit depredations on all deseri does of property. lam happy to announce an instance of suconaful resistance to a band of lawless ruSilans by a single Magis trate (a Cleegyman,) aided by his sou, and his parishioners, which terminated in the capture of the ringle.stier and ten of his sae elates, and the complete dispersion of the rest.

Lord SUFFIELD, adverting to the postponement of the Committee upon the Poor Laws until Monday neat, eapressed a hope that the noble marquis (Salisbury) would not ended the consideration of his measure beyond that day. He could not avoid believing the subject of the noble marquis's bill of great moment. There were few persons who did not sympathise with the agricultural labourers. The noble earl concurred in the wish of the noble marquis to pat of the discussion upon his bill to Monday, yet his hope was that the subject would rot be delayed. He had always thought it the business ef his Majesty's go. remment to undertake the introduction of measures of this &nription, and he still expected his noble friend would afford the commitue the proper means of considering the question. The Marquis of SALISBEHY intimated that it was not his inten tion to postpone the committee on his bin beyond Monday. DECLARATION 01, KINISTEES.-PAELIAKINTAST WORK, Ikt. Ilse Marquis of LANSDOWN said he had some petitions to pre 'NO le the house on the subject of parliamentary reform. They had boss some time in his bands, and the noble marquis bad been prevented bah presenting them in consequence of the change in his Majesty's mune& They were petitions drawn up in decorous terms, claiming peallemotary reform. Their lordships would admit that be was not bound to support the prayer of every petitiee be had to present; but he certainly was bound to state, that he so far agreed to the sentiments of the petitioners, that he would &emit some amadment was necessary in the representation of the people. (Hear, bear) When be stated so much, his hope was, that none of their lordships would suppose that be was an advocate for any reform hr parliament which might lead to the subversion of established institutions. The noble marquis, an the contrary begged that on this subject their lordships would take care the changes they did make were amendments and not innovations upon the constitution. He was convinced that some amendment was necessary foe the benefit of the, unrepresented population of the country. He could not look at the defects in representation without paying de. fume to the great and enlightened body of persons whose interests had been called into existence by the exertions of the last century. The ac. cumulation of wealth by industry, and the progress of science, had created new interests, sad who reflection told him there remained any great body of British subjects without due representation in the legis lature, he could not but think that amendment must be made. When ho knew that there were important parts of this country which had but the mire shadow of representation be could not but say amendment might take place. At the same time be was prepared to say that reform in Parliament which did not lead to the improvement of the coon. try, should not receive his sanction. The noble marquis was con. ,Tined that in the whole legislation of the country. all parts, whether rich or poor, ought to have a preponderating abase. He had taken this opportunity of saying, that however Battered and honoured he must I'e by the graciousness of his Majesty, in having called him to the situ'. don which he held in his Councils, be could not justify himself in me • opting that situation had he not reason to reside in the individual at the head Odle Government tithe country—had be not an entire coati. Roes that he would turn the attention of his great and powerful mind, est slime to this subject, but every other which now pressed on the attic. des Olds Government. (Hear, bear.) It was in the fulness of that coulidenes that he (Lord L.) had consented to occupy the statics which be now filled in the Noble Earl's Administration, and in the futons of that mildence he felt convinced that the noble earl would direct his immollate attention to the important question then pressing upon the 'sentry. The noble marquis concluded by .presenting a perinea from the inhabitants of Blackburn praying for Parliamentary Reform. Earl GREY, concurring in what bad just been stated by his noble friend, said he should also take the opportunity of stating very shortly, and in few words, the principles upon which be had thought it right, in obedience to his Majesty's commends, to accept the high honour of his situation. Upon the most important question to which the petition re ferred, his opinionstrould not be unknown to their lordships. A few days previous he bad explained those opinions. He had stated to theft lordships that he eamidered it nocrosy for the government of the mum. try to come to a calm consideration of the question which then engrossed the attention of the country. His opinion was that the gmement ought to take into its most serious consideration the state of the rove. sentation of the people in Parliament, with a view to serene, and for the purpose of securing confidence in Indianian, which in the present con. stitution of the House of Commons, be believed was not suniciesny es tablished for good and safe gevonment. The noble earl bad stated that he was not one of those who would support say of those fanciful and extravagant plans of reform which, in his ',Woe, would not lead to good and substantial rem, but anarchy and confusion. He bad never supported the principles of universal suffrage which some Mild advocate. He did net contemplate that extensive change which would shake the institutions of the country. (Hoer, bear, bear.) He was de. sirous of uniting as closely as possible the send principles of the Con. stitution, and at the aim time restore the amildence of the country. Those were the principles on which he wished to regulate reform. lie would secure to the people their due Whom in the legislative conn• cils, and leave their representation upon a feusdation which wee stem that satisfaction and colidence, without which it would be impossible to govern. (Hear, hear.) Due attention obould Is paid to tine settled institutions of she country, aed ears taken sot to bring about three sud den changes which might crease dieted:aims The noble eari• did net know that it was necessary to say more es the object of ram en that occasion. The restoration of coafideacs, by promoting meditate reform at the proper time, was most desirable. He bed always been opposed to wild theoretic plans that clashed with the happiness and geed order which ought to exist in the various interests of the State. With regard to the lie of reform, he cold MUM their lordships, that before he' stades. took to become a member of his Majesty's amens, be received his Majesty's sanction sod peneissioa to be allowed, at a proper time, to prepare k. The question wee not to be lightly tikes up. lie could net have been induced to obey his Majesty's onnemed, kindly and pa. cisusly imparted, if be bad net received pooksise to propem • am sure for his Majesty's final seetalon—a meows !pasting sa tbeirrinci. pie of reform. He had permissioe to censider such a roseoure in all its details. An be could say en the subject abided to by the noble lord was, he should turn the attietise of goomaset not only so the wants of the labouring classes, but to the pawl NW of the country.
