It had been complain►d of ►y Gentleness nn the other side, that nn specific plan had been suggested. Were the plans of Reform of Phi, of Flood, end many others, then, entirely fergatten ? " Yea, bet," say the Han. blesiber;. we will not look the rail In the fare, bet-anonyms ask Vie much." Was this 4 44444 n, then, for doing no- • • !king! One at the principal objections against Reform veus,thet it gook! let in the rabble. " O►,'t it was said, 414 tbe sob will be Oar Constituents : we atoll have to look to the rabble for its opinions." It mei this very evil which POW *silted. sad wliieb required II sioedi remedy. Could the electors of Grasp:mind, of Biro - - staple, and other rotten boroughs of a similar de. scription, be termed any thing but rabble? lie Ito. Pored the House, before it was too late, to take the matter Ws its most sensor consideration. Not only Locke, Raymond, Foe, Pitt, but even Bioko him self. hid recommended Reform; and could the hioute, therefore, hesitate for l moment what course to adopt? Much, indeed, would be done, if the Committee appointed to consider this subject would. report that none of these abuses 'sided, and declare that they were wholly ideal. But no—the abuse was ackno•ledged, and the remedy was refused.— ' honourable Gentlemen had indeed come down to elso Howse, and had made long speeches—[[:lieers mad Isagkier]—bet nothing hod been done to alle viate the distresses of the People. He was grate'sl for this Indulgence, as it was a great relief to him, anti it reminded him that he Eel been guilty of that la Wesel' 'which be had censored in others.—[liesten should trouble the House with only Dee sore observation. As every min professed to support the Constitetiou, there was bet one Mug to he aim• him), viz. what the Constitution really was. Was It a part of the Constitution to have a free Repressed atiois of the People in Pediment ? If this were not so, instead of praising the Constitution, ought we mot to despise It ? He concluded with earnestly en treating the House to agree to the motion of the lion. baronet. Mr. GRENFELL sod Mr. WILMOT mutually eiplained. Mr. MARTIN (of Galway) said a few words. Mr. HUME observed, that the greater portion of the People of Scotland were f ble to a moderate Reform and in cemplitsce with the tipiniou of Mt coostitsents, he should vote for the present motion, as it pledged the Hoses to take the matter into coo adoration in the ensuing Session. A MEMBER, whose name we could not collect, glloded to the plan of Reform proposed by Mr. Pitt, end recommended a double vote to be given to 40 shilling fieeholderv. Mr. P. MOORE would else vote for the motion, thinking It requisite for' the preservation of tran quillity among the People. lie felt much obliged to the Hon. Baronet for bringing it forward, and hoped that the same motion would be continued to be sob. pitted *my Beni's, until Ministers would be com pelled to hike some stop - sport the subject. Lord JOHN RUSSELL uished to state distinctly to the Bow, that be did not agree with those who opposed all and every iyrtem of Reform. Mr. C. HUTCHINSON insinsaintd, that an in vestigative tabu the state of the Represibtation was I rendered absoletely necessary by the present state of the malty. lie had himself lived in other times and other countries. Ile had lived to see the Parliament of Ireland bought and sold in open market, sod the country which It represented degridetrto the most object state that a calory could be degraded to; he bad lived to see It blotted out of the map of nations, and tethers! to the state of a p.m miserable province, dependent upon England : he had lived to see a cor-. r opt and insolent majority, acting under the command of a corrupt and it.rolent Minister, sell themselves to the Ministers of another nation, and by so doitig sell that country which they were bound to protect at the &grad of their lives. When the Honourable Member bad taken Ms seat, loud cry id question immediately arose, in tbe midst of which Mr. SYNC spoke in favour of the motion. The cries of " Question, question," being loudly reiterated upon the close of Mr. Dynes speech, Sir F. BURDETT rem to reply. After com menting at some length upon the ob ions which had fallen from Lord Joho Russell, the lion. Bart. referred to the case of the Borough of Barnstaple, and staled that the electors of that Borough had been induced to withal:ea their Petition against only of the sitting Members, by each of them receiving a dips- Sated sum of money. As be was acquainted with thq principles upon ethic's borough elections were COS. ducted, he did not feel inclined to indulge in any se vere remarks upon the conduct of the sitting Mem ber, as be conceived that he bad not been guilty of any other practices than those which were col, too well known to every Member In the House. lie was happy to state that the Press had imparted marry circumstances connected with this subject with the utmost ability to the Public, a n d had communicated an impulse to the politic mind which would he long felt, and not easily forgotten. That plan of Reform which all honest Reformers would concur to support would be the only practicable plan ; and to such s plan be would he always ready to lend his humble laid and voidance. Whatever might become of the pre vnt question, whatever might be dm opinion created maid* it, both in the House and out of the House, he was convinced that that casts* of Reform would ul timately meet with the success *kick It so jest!, meri ed.
