„r lettere of teturning ()SEMI ? (Hear, hear.) An honourable gee il:man opposite compared Tan:worth with Tavistock in that way, hat such returns had been found not to be correct. The honour. .4,1 e gentleman had also compared the 101. houses in Tamworth and (sine ; but he had not made the same comparison between Tamworth s ad Tayistock. because Tamworth had but 130, and TavistOck had NO. It was thought, after due consideration, to be the best way of proceed ‘,,c n ot to make any private inquiries, but to act on the population vs. t urns, ' which were a parliam ent a r y document, a nd th a t had (teen strictly a d icr el to. He thought the house would see, whatever it might think ' 1 of the principle being right or wrong, that it was the desire of Govern. nurse to plate the plan on • firm hasls. (Hear.) They did not give 'my retool to une borough mare than aoothet. They had been to by the hon. member for Aldborough, that they did not go by population, ti , l iorot igh4 of 4,000 or 5,000 wer: to return more mashers d some I trge rowns. This was a fact with which they were well isa. ,tainted. it was never intended to give members according to the ;mount of population, if they did how many must be given to Wear. mintier, which contained a population of 160.000. Yet it wise not in. tended to gee to Westminster more representatives than St. Alb wad others. If honourable members thoought this an anomaly, Ist who opposed it come forward and propose another. (Hear, bear.) If they are greater reformers than us, Ist them come boldly leeward. 'Hoar, herr.) But let them not oppose all reform. (Hear.) The k • right tm. member for Tamworth has said that he (Lord J. Russell) litd given no ingenious reasons for his motion. His reasons were, that it wa s a cure for existing evils. (Hear.) The plan spoke for itself, it required no ingenious seasons, and that was evident by the reap. titan it had met with in the country. (Hest, hear.) It had been received in the North, South, East, and West, and in Scotland, with the greatest approbation ; and no ingenious reasons were called for. (Hear, hear.) All classes were satisfied with the efficiency of the plan, and they saw, that step by step all their wishes and desires would be achieved. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. member for Tamworth had also asked how he could reconcile his (Lord J. Rus sell's) speech of 1819 with the measure now brought forward. As re gstded himself personally, it was of no consequence whether he had changed his opinion or not : but he must say that, on again looking at that speech, be thought part of it van right, and part wrong. (Hear.) From the year 1819 to the year 1822 he investigated into the state of the country, and he perceived that great progress was made in literature and Intelligente: he found that the middling classes had risen to a state of importance greater than in any former age, or any other coun try. (Hear.) He found that the constitution of that how* was hut what it ought to be--(hear); its basis was becoming narrower and narrower, whilst the intelligence of the country was becoming broader and bleeder. (Hear.) The country had a just right to be dn. satisfied with the state of the represantation, wises they Mend that these who sat for boroughs decided against all retrenchment in the proportion of 3 to 1, whilst those for the counties always divided in favour of it.— Would it then be said that no change was required. (Hear.) Per. haps it might be thought assuming of egotism, but he could not ea frain from alluding to part of his speech in 1822. He theta said that he was for a g eneral Reform, and not for single disfranchisement'. He then pro posed to cut off 100 31e, and give them to large towns. rubers Tavistoc and Caine certainly were not included in these boroughs, and'until the measure was agreed to, it would only be fair that they should have the influence of these boroughs. (Hear.) It had been asked whether a democratic assembly could exist with a constitution of King, Lards and Commons? (Hear, hear.) It was a great mistake of the plan to call it democratic The plan proposed could not be taken in any such sense. If York sent four members now that were not democratic, why should they rum so; and if Manchester. Leeds and Birmingham, were to send members, it did not follow that they were to send democrats any more than that Bristol and Liverpool should: (hear, hear.) In fact, he was at a loss to know where such a number of democrats were to be found : (hear.) Bat it would be ...collected that the same cry was raised when the Test and Corpo ration Acts were ratled. When the Catholic Relief Bill was puled, it was said admit Roman Catholics into Parliament, and there is an end to our glorious Constitution : (hear and a laugh.) In fact :he same fears for the Constitution were sent forth, when it was only talked about changing the game laws. Change the game laws, and, forsooth, say some honourable members, you endanger our glorious Constitution : hear ( ard bear and laughter.) The late Secretary at War (Sir Henry Hinge), raised two objections to the measure; the first was, that it would take the crown ceche King's head • and the second, that It would take too many members from Durham (a laugh.) With respect to the first, he would say that they might safe leave his Ma. jesty to the protection of his people. They would on alt occasions rally round the throne. It was not supported on the rotten timber of dm boroughs. (Hear, hear.) The Monarchy would be more smote, toys alty would not be decreased, but increased. They looked and judged of ' the constitution in the proper way. (Hear.) It was said, take away the boroughs, and no Government could be carried on. No doubt boroughs had been useful and convenient for ministers, sad sated the trouble of constituents. (Hear.) But it should be recollected that Pile sat for the University of Cambridge, Fox for Westminster, Lois dewy for the county of Down, and Canning for Liverpool, and sem of them on any one occasion run the least danger of not being re-elected. (Hear, hear.) It must be borne in mind, wham great Wades woe to be obtained, some injury must be sustained. (Hear.) The injury hear, was not l one like ly grat d to breakup th eal !t ad been i l d Con a it tutioen.ver,( In this ease, of intimidation. He did not know that the least threat of intimidation had been held out by Government • but the Hotta woad re. member the words of Lord Chatham . (Hear.) He stated, ” that if the House did not reform itself dons within, it would be re. formed from without with a vengeance." These were the words of Lord Chatham. The present supporters of the measure had net used any such language. The name of Burke had often been used duties the discussions; be would read some extracts from his speeches. T 66 noble lord here read some of Mr. Burke's speeches ; in which that great Amman said, that the House of Commons in Parliament assembled ought to be the same as the Commons at large—war with the world, but peace with their constituents. The noble lord continued. The people looked for a remedy, and they had a right to expect one. They saw clearly that that house which voted away their money, onitht i to he the guardian of their rights. They did not care about the abolition of this office or that, but they wanted a confidence in their representatives—a confidence sufficient to be convinced, that when an office became useless it would be abolished ; and when a law of op pression was proposed that it would not be passed. (Hear, hear.) There; rat only one topic more to which it was necessary to allude. There had been for several years past a want of confidence in public n.en. Different sects and unions had been established for the pur pate of making out their own remedies; there was no confidence in the legislature. (Hear.) Such a state of things could not much longer continue: it must lead to a separation, if not remedied, between the great mass of intelligence and the constituted authorities of the coon. try. (Hear.) The present Government might have gone on for a time, hut they could not have gone on long without the confidence of the nation. (Hear.) If then the present Government, who ad mitted the necessity of a change, could not have gone on, would ft hare been possible for these who denied that any change was neces sary to have gone on. If his Majesty's ministers had not brought forward this measure, they would have been taunted, and that justly, with having forfeited their pledges, and betrayed the people. (Hear.) They were bound to bring forward a measure which might be what wus oiled revolutionary, because he had seen in many instances, where Gentlemen had come down to the house and declared that they would make a stand against a particular measure, and had said, this is the Constitution, and no farther would they go; and they would say, that if the clamour does not subside by to-morrow, we most do something ; and thus, by the folly of procrastination, they bare been canmained to grant their influence to the very measure to which they had previously professed their repugnance on deliberation ; but then when the measure was wrung from them it was not received by the people with gratitude, but was looked upon with eontempt. (Hear.) He had beet convinaA from experience, that the only sate and satisfactory mode was to do the act at the proper time, and not to leave it to the colouring of compel- 1 'ion by chance of circumstances. (The noble Lord sat down amidst loudl and long-continued cheering.) The SPEAKER then put the question, " That leave be given to bring in a Bill to amend the representation of the people in England and Wales." The motion was agreed to. The ti Ayes" were shouted in louder voices than we ever beff heard in the House of Commons; while the " Nos" were only three in ; one very loud, but the ot h er two very dispirited and low. Lord J. RUSSELL then moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend the fermentation cf the people in Scotland. sir G. CI.RRE protested against such a motion at so late an boor of the night. (Cries of " Oh, oh.") No part of this measure had been explained to the house. (Hear, hear," and a laugh ) fhe LORD.ADVOCATE thought, that the noble lord sufficiently opened the general outline of the treasure in his introductory speech Hoverer, if the house thought differently, he should be able to supply ar,y omissi o n s w hi c h t h e nob l e lord might be supposed to have made. !ri a very few sentences. While the borough representation in England was diminished, that in Scotland was increased by the proposed plan. This was an apparent diftbrenee in the plans for the two countries: but the difference existed only in appearance. Tne plans were mind ', nts, and the p r in c ipl es o f t h em were identically the same. In lcotland there wete SO county members, and 15 borough members. It was proposed that the county members should be reduced by 'wo. It was proposed that scotland, instead of returning forty-five ""tubers, should in future return fifty, and that of these, '‘er•ty 7 two should be returned from boroughs. The mode of get. 4 fair representation for Scotland was to unite the small counties alth the large. The population of Peebles and Selkirk did not exceed 1 7,000 souls, and it wan justifiable to unite such counties, in older re make up an aggregatepopulation fir the purposes of representation, c!n:ch ought be in som e p ro p ort i on tothe general representativesystem. 1 37 the new plan all who w ere qualified would have a vote, and none could have had more under the old system. The wealth of, Scotland `sr.sistett in commercial towns, of recent growth, and the view of Go. ,efnment was to divide the allocations. Accosting to the •union. the " I. XY of Edinburgh h a d t h e pr i v il ege of returning ear osemberow lingoes was now the third city in the empire, wierrortSMl the is itrests of half a million of men, and thrtefore two members were at. trihuted to it; Paisley was a rival to Glasgow, with 50,000 souls, and therefore one member was given to it. On the same prin. ciple, Aberdeen, Greenock, and Leith were to have one member each. The new system of Scotland was made to assimilate to what had always been considered tile moat perfect part of the English system — the county representation. The quillific.stion In Scotland was to be 10'. s-year foe a voter, and 5001. a-year for a seat in the house for • county member. Arrangements had been made to take the rotes In convenient plates, so that no more than two days might be consumed in the elec tion ; and a provision had been introduced Into the measure, to disallow votes to be taken in county elections for the same property as gave the right of voting In burghs. He was aware that at that time of the right he mast be brief In his observations ; but he hoped his explanation would be sufficient to show that no reasonable objection could be offered to the motion of the noble lord to bring in a bill to amend the represen tation of Scotland. _ Sir W. RA It did not think the learned lord's explanation perfectly satisfactory. He mold see no good reason why, when additional mem bers were given to the English counties, not only no additional members were given to the Scotch counties, but two of the county members were taken away and given to the burghs. Since government had adopted the rule of joining counties together, he was surprised that it bad not been regularly followed out ; and that Kinross had not been added to Fire, and Clackmannan to Stirling. What was the reason, he should like to know, that the county of Caithness, which was formerly joined with the county of Bute, was now, for the first time, to have the right of sending one member to Parliament? Why was it not added to the countylof Sutherland ? The hon. gentn. opposite had declared that one of their objects in bringing forward the present measure of reform was to get rid of the nomination by peers of members of that house. He was not one who would wish to see the influence of peers destroyed, which de pended on their large property and the benefits which they conferred on theit inferiors. But if Caithness had been added to Sutherland, the influence which a noble family exercised in the return of the member for the latter county, would have been neutralised ; and the honourable gentleman opposite ought, therefore, to have joined those two counties, io order to be consistent with their own professions. He objected en tirely to the bill, because it went to change the whole system of repre sentation in Scotland. That system had, as yet, worked well ; and he believed there was not an instance of any person being a representative of a Scotch County, who had not a real interest in the land. (Hear.) —lf any change were thought necessary to be made in the elective franchise, the right of voting should have been confined to the actual proprietors of land, and the mere occupiers of houses ought not to have been introduced. The LORD-ADVOCATE stated that it was not the mere occupiers, but the owners of houses, who had the right of voting. Sir W. RAE said, tbst the occupiers were almost universally the owners of houses in Scotland, for that very few were held on leasehold ; and, therefore, the proposition would have the effect of taking the right of sending members to parliament out of the hands of the landed in term. No complaint could be made against the present sys tem on the score of expense, because the representatives of counties never expended any money except what they paid out for the purpose of entertaining the elector after the election. N. explanation had been given by the learned lord why five boroughs of the eastern part of Fife should be disfran. chimed, and the right of voting taken from 6,000 persons. He agreed with the learned Iced that no Scotchman could object to the granting of representatives to Edinburgh and Glasgow; but he (SirW. Rae) wished to know why, if Leith was to have a member, the flourishing town of lemmas ' with a population of 20,000, was not to be allowed one. He supposed that when the learned lard talked of giving a member to Edin. burgh, that the noble lord meant that city and its suburbs. If that wore the case, veins to the number of 12.910 would be admitted. What then would be the boasted advantage, what the value to the shopkeeper of Edinburgh, of sharing a vote among so large a number of persons ? He conseived that the proposed altercation would lead to much bribery, disorder, and perhaps to bloodshed. The learned lord opposite had some knowledge of the stormy nature of elections in Scotland. If once Soon:limes were brought together on those ocesektas, it was • rare cir cumstance when their meeting did not end in fatal consequences. He asked Scotch members whether that was not the general rule ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was reason able that the plan should be explained, and that the observations of the teamed gentleman (Sir W. Rise) upon it should be heard ; but this having takes plat*, he eusted there would be no objection to the bill being now introduced. The plan would go to Scotland, accompanied by the learned gentleman's objections, and thus the entire scheme would be understood and canvassed in that country. He hoped that this would be considered sufficient at present, and that gentlemen (several having risen to address the house at the close of Sir W. Rae's speech) would defer their remarks upon the bill till the second reading, when the discussion could be taken. It would be extremely inconvenient to go into • debate on the plan at this hour of the night. Sir C. FORBES begged to ask the noble lord whether he thought it reasonable that the reform bill affecting this country should be debated woo days en the motion fee its introduction, and that which applied to &Wand should be disposed of in the same stage in an hour? He rthe propriety di the debits on the first reading of the bill a ed dlowened till to-morrow. He might here observe, that the Advocate's_ speech was any thing rather than satisfactory. Mr. KENNEDY said his hon. Mend opposite ( Sir C. Forbes) amid wake no gamer benefit on his countrymen than by allowing the bill to go forth to the public in an accurate shape, with as little delay as possible. This object would be effected by offering no opposition to the firm reading. Mr. C. FERGUSSON thought an adjournment of the discussion not unreasonable, if any Gentleman connected with Scotland wished to offer their opinions on the bill, even In the first stage. Sir C. FORRES roes to snore the adjournment of the debate, but gave way to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who expressed a hope that gentlemen would consent to take the discussion on the second reading. which might be fixed for Monday or Tuesday_ l After an observation from Mr. JOHYISTONS, Sir G. CLERK recommended the hon. basonet to accede to the no ble lord's proposition. Sir G. WAItRENDER wished the discussion to be deferred till the bill should be printed. Leave was then given to being in the bill. IIEPOIP3I 81LL..-11ILLAND. Lord J. RUSSELL moved that leave be given to bring in a bill to amend the representation in Ireland. RUTHVEN said he had no wish to embarrass the Government by expressing his objections to that part of the measure affecting Ire land upon the occasion of the recent debate, but he would now say, that In order to afford Ireland substantial justice, she should have, instead of three new members, 32. Arse a desultory convention, in which 3h. Lltantn, Mv. Wyss, and Mr. A. Dawson took part, leave was given to bring in the bill, it being understood that the .Scotch and Irish reform bills would not be diseased on the same day. The calico duty repel bill was repotted, and the bru ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. Lord DUNCANNON gave notice, that he would on Friday next move for leave to bring in a bill for opening a new anect between Wa. terloo.bridgc and Charles-street, Covent-garden. The ATTORNEY-GENENA I. presented a petition from Not tingham, in favour of the plan of reform which had been submitted to the house by his Majesty's ministers ; and another having a similar prayer. from the law students of the inns of court.

TheWinkler of Foreign Alisirs said the Congress should know when we are, and whither we are going; we have bees for five mamba comp:lied to remain inactive. The Powers proposed, and we accepted a enspentrion of awns ; bat Holland rendered it naptory by clotting the Schelde. On the 10th Dec. an armistice was assepted, but it had not been observed.

Foe want of funds, I have not been able to ennoble the militia, as I intended , Oar army is reduced to three fifths ; and such a state of things is worse than open war. The rtgular forte must be kertased, and this will nose expences that will exceed the proposed loan. The Minister of Finance showed that the Government could not go on without a loan. Thence:amt. tor 18:00 are not settled, acid the deficiency is greeter than was supposed BRUSSELS, hlsscu & 111 r.
