rimy of that House upon their conduct ? Whatever opinion Gentlemen opposite might en tertain of the imbecility of Ministers, he would declare, that no fear, either personal or pub. lie, would ever influence his mind. [llear,hear!] pursuing the line of conduct he had taken on this occasion, he saw beforehand, that of the two which presented themselves, he was by no means. -electing the easiest course. • But be saw that the time was arrived which others only sup.. posed to be approaching. no then ask* what Gee.. tlemen opposite now acknowledged, however they might think his construction of the letter harsh, that-it was a resistance and defiance to the House of Commons. He took the more difficult course of proceeding, and Gentlemen who thought his vievs.of the Hon. Baronet's conduct, at that pc. rioa. uncantlid, were now convinced by -this -se. pond letter, and all his subsequent conduct, that it was well futilities) and just. Illear,heartlUnder, these impressions Government acted, and acted as he trusted a [latish Government would always act,, with respect to the laws, and never to jitter. fere with the laws till necessity compelled them to do sio, t to take care of the public security, and to see that the country should not be e ndangered. — [clear, hear!] Would any Gentleman who knew the liberty enjoyed by a British subject say, that it was in the power of any Government to prevent such scenes as had lately taken place Could any foresight, any preparations, any pre. cautions, any measures be adtspted by which an armed force should be ready in every street of this vastmetropolis, to prevent the breaking of win dows, or even the conflagration of houses, or the esLtssination of individuals ? [Hear, hear!)— N no such interference c ould take place with out exposing its authors to the charge of oppres sion, military tyranny, and a design to trample on the liberties of the people. [near, hear t] It was the duty of Government; all that they 'amid do or could be expected of them was, to see where disorder was beginning, to check it then, and preserve the peace. Pere had been no neglect on the Part of Government in this respect, and whenever the Civil Magistrate saw it tieces. tart', the military were ready to obey his directions. Thus secured, whatever feelings he might have fur the injuries inflicted on individual sufferers, he never for a moment entertained a fear for the safe ty of tfie nation, and preservation of the Consti tntien• He never entertained a fear,. because he knew, that if tumult raised even its most formi. liable head, Government hail taken means, and mere ready to crush. it. [near, hear t] .As for the question, with regard to the Serjeant's exc. cntiug the warrant, it was must unfelt to charge. Ministers with hanging in doubt as to the proper mode of performing that duty. The fact was, they were not called on to• decide the matter at all, or consider, as Ministers, how it might be done. Had it beep yn discussion in the House be- I fore the warrant was issued,. he would have had I no hesitation, as a Member .of Parliament, to give his opinion, that they had a eight to break open the duor. But when a person, execoting an portent duty, tbstilitettatiolegality of his commis. 'ion *. it became necessary to.defer giving an opi nion or offering to cohtroul one who acted at his own,ptril. [Hear,. heart] There was some. thing to be observer{-too between the. Gentlemen• opposite and the Ministers. They formed their jutlgatenis at different tiawa and in , very different aitnations. Gentlemen opposito were now giving their:opinions after the affair was past, without respOnsibility, apd with ell the composure they would discuss. an Abstract point of scicuec. argetrent now was, whether, while these trembles -existed, . and danger was thrtetteited, Ministers might not have exceeded the law, with a view!...to the getterel public weal. Ie his opinion it would have i been unjustifiable to interfere with a legal agree, acting under another constinstional autho rity in the discharge of hisalety.--[ifear, heed] With reapeet to• the - -- pecsent motion, he entered. into the vie res.and considerations of several Hon. • Gentlemen opposite. He thought that going to would bti inexpedient, but between seve rity sind notice there was a middle course which he begged to recommend to the House. To do no thing upon this letter was a. very equivocal way of consulting their . dignity. They ought rather to meet fairly what was opposed to. them, out shrinking, and deal with them firmly and tem perately. .Insthe situation in which the writer of the letter was now placed, it was not necessary to visit hisaaffence with aeverity, nor would it be. right,to pass it altogether without notice. He !tad sapported the motion for his con.mitment on a former letter, a little more guarded in its expres sion thin the last, though with the same tendency, and for the accomplishment of the same object. This !clic! !le .vtgalst.Xensider,as a_prAJOL tuAltspel every doubt from the breasts of thuso who were uot convinced of the design of the-former. [Hear, hear!] It was an aggravation and repetition of the odence for which punishment was already in, IJicted. ‘Vitli these views of the matter he would have to propose a Resolution, as an amendment to the present motion, to this effect . " That the Letter of Sir F. Burdett, tuhlreMed to• the peaker, nm a high aggravation of his former Mlinwe against the privileges of the Haase of Commons. But as from the. retail made by-the Sergeant at Arms to the Speaker's Warrant, it appeared that the Warrant had been executed, sad the Party committed to the Tower, the House would uot proceed fuC thee epos thin Letter, at this time." —life conceived this would be • better mode of disposing of the business, than not to notice the Netter at all ; itoi only as more consonant to their di g nify at prefoinc buk as the matter might be again taken, ijp hereafter, if circumstances rendered jt neeeseary. (Elen4Tol cheering Sir.3ollN ANSTRUTH in explanation, #aid, 'that if it cnehl,be thought there was any thing eqiiirocal' In the . original motion, he would actir in any mate seefinbe mode of expressing the opinion bf ,the Rouse.

Sir Fraticii Burdett's declared opinion of the character of the warrant Bias calculated to 'induce the a pprehe n yet it appeared that the Right Honourable Gen ,. tleman was quite, unprepared fir the eveninst t. formed a serious ground of Complaint agalriihni, i s but there was another ground of complain(. It would be recollected, that when the Honourable Baronet actually .resisted the warrant, the case was referred to the consideration of the Right Honourable Gentleman, and his answer was, tha be knew nut what advice to give, as there was no precedent whatever in which this warrant had been resisted. gow he put it to the Right Ilonoura. ble Gentleman personally, professionally, and officially, whether upon abandoning the law to pursue politics, - it did not become his duty to study Parliainentary History with somewhat wore attitudes. In point of act, there was a Wee. dent of the Speaker's warrant having been rtisist. ad long before that issued against Sir Francis- Bur dett, whose manner of acting he was by no means disposed to justify, and that resistance was accompanied by contempt. But in this pre. cedent how did the House proceed-a -why, they voted that the party so resisting was sick. Such 1 was the mode by which the House averted any conflict upon that occasion. -But yet, as to the privileges of the House, he was at ready as any to inattifain them, and that tite warrant .of the Speaker was complete—that if good for any thing it was good for every thing, and that it authoriz ed the breaking open 'of doors, if necessary, in order to enforce its execution. If it were not invested with that authority, What, he would ask, was to become of the most important functions of that House ? llo* were witnetses to .tin brought, to the bar, as in the recent investigation respect -1 •the Duke of York ?---how was the [louse to', come at various points of information material'', to the performance of its first duties ?-..in a word,' if the Speaker's warrant were not omnipotent; 1 what was to become of the inquisitorial power of'' that House-? It was impossible that the people' could be so insensible to their own best interests,. Icould be so besotted as to entertain a wish of wrenching from the House a power so essential to all the . good purposes of its institution. Let it be recollected, that although the House of Commons had erred from its duty in many stances, it ought not to be derived of those lid ? ' vileges which were indispensible to its utility and power, when it should become more confor mable to - the opinion and the internee( the people. I That it must become so conformable be could en- . 1 tert*in little dnibt... Indeed, he 'would venlate tO say, that the cause of reform Wei making,raPid prugress—that witbih the last month many, ver y many canverti had. been made to that cause. • l o et it then be ',eked, iti . wind state the Houstlivoild be placed in the event of a reform, if stripped of the power under ditcussion —if the Speaker's war , ant were not omnipotent ? The Crown was known to have an influtuice in- that House,and else where; and what must the people expect to be the iodination of that influence in the event of re form. Must they not calculate upon its hostility, and what power could a reformed 'House of Commons - have of coantoriteting that hos. tility if its warrant were not effective ? Upon this ground, he thought the Speaker's warrant ' ought to be omnipotent. But although he main tained the power of this warrant, it did not follow that he would vindicate an improper application of that power, as in the instance of Sir =Francis`. Burdett. At the same tiete,as it was deemed pro. per to issne.the warrant against that Honourable Baronet, why should it be conceived necessary, • so long after Its issue, to consult the Attorney-Ge neral as to the mode of its execution ? Ono should suppose that an opinion upon this subject should have been previously obtained, and that I the City of AVestminster should'not so long have been suffered to retnain in a state of tumult. The Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Perceval)° and 1 bis Rt. Honourable Friend, the Secretary of State (Mr. Ryder)toek credit, it appearcdi for the as. sistance they offered, and the exertions they made upon that occasion. But what said the Scrjeant at A tans ? Did he not state at Abe Bar, that he . could not get a sight of the Secretary of 'State ? \ and also, that until Monday morning he could, not obtaiu adequate assistance? [No, no, on the 'Mi. nisterial [leaches]. • He was in the recollection of the House, and the Minutes, When printed, Arran I doservearr airew• he w-fer 4,e-weiriorreetr- I fite Righl Hon. G e ntleman (Mr. Perceval) atteinpted. .to ex use himself, by stating that he had' no ria,lat to interpose with the execution of the • geeakerlii warrant, unless specially applied to for Sit. 'But what did the Right:Hon. Gentleman do when so applied to ? Why, the Serjeant at Arms _was re. .ferred to the Bow-street Officers. lie begged the House to remember the deposition of this Officer, enfeebled is he was by• so many sleepless nights, and to consider the circumstances of an indivi. !ideal so situated without any decisive advice, or adequate aid to enfotee the warrant with which he was entrusted. The Right Hein. Gent. claimed credit for not 'calling be themilita'ry prematurely. But why not call in the dvit power ? That in fact slid not at alt make its appearance until Monday,. in conjunction with else Military: Ile was happy to hear it admitted by the Right' Hen. Gent. that the tumult which love rise to' this discuision was net the result of tiny deep-laid plan, that there was nothing 'attire than an ordinary mob, which could be quieted by the ortli,eary mettras.—[A r e, so, n the Ministerial Beaches.] The Hon. Member deprecated these toterruptiens—he re. pealed his conception of the Right &lon. Gent.'a admission, that there was not apprehmislon of any * extended plet, or conspiracy us the recent disturb- . ance. Such indent was the general eonvictitan, artklthet thcise disturbances I°o4 never have, e t c. ea Anom a5a.••11....... 7i• - • 1 • • 'l'll But while he deplored the indiscretion of Wai ters, and Complained of their moaner, of provid. ing fire the executionnt the Speaker's warrant, he .begged it to be understood, that he. meant not to make any apoingy for the conduct of Sir F. Bur -1 Jett. On the contrary, he thought that the lion. j Bart, even upon his own principles, ought ntio h a ve persisted in reSisting. After 5 days of ation osi p he did yield to force, and he might as well bate so yielded, for his own view of trying the ques tion, within the first five minutes after the war rant' was presented to him. He vies, therefore, nu apologist for the conduct of Sir Francis Burdett. A Nuble Lord had interpreted the lion. Baronet's letter to mean a .resulation to resist the execution of the warrant. Then it wais matter of complaint that arrangements wereinot promptly taken to the its execution, Why, in. fact, was not the warrant executed, as it might have been, by two or three constables within an hour or two after it was signed ? (Hear, hear ' on the Ministerial Benches.) Gentlemen on the opposite side meant no doubt, as indeed they endeavoured, to throw the blame upon the Serjeant at Arms, but they could not succeed. The House could never eon 'eive blame fairly itnput t able to an unlearned Oan, with 'a mere inilitary edicetion, for doubt and ig. aOMB CC upon a subject with _regard to which the Learned Lawyer, the' First of the Trta , ury, professed his inability to decide,' and felt It tie cessary to refer to the advice of the A:torney. GeOeral. if any of his friends were to resort to such an expedient to palliate the neglect of official duty, if aley c o uld attempt .to cover themselves by casting bletiie on such an officer, he week, really bo ashltlited of them. But •Mioisters uputi this questiun WOW to call forth the compassion of the House. What claim, hue/over, had they to that consideration? Westminster was in com motion, and leaving that commotion to extend, they took lime to consult lawyers. It wool(' be. remembered, that *heir, in 1780, it was pro. posed to take the option of the Judges, as to the mode of repressing the riots, a great man ex claimed—" What ! wait fur the opinion 'of the Judges, end all. London may be in flames in a few hours ? No ;" said he, i g let us act immediately, and take the respOnsibility upon ourselves." But Ministers - were not in this instance so courageous. No ; the Right Hotioulable Gentleman shrunk from the occasion, and now endeavoured to 1 shelter himself by the censure : of a subordinate , officer. [llear, hear !] It was stated that some dif ference of opinion 'prevailed bet:green the Sheriffs and the Magistrates on Senility,. and that this dif ference occasioned a delay in the elocution of the •warrant. No proof, however, of limb * difference appeared. But in fact the execution of the war rant ought to have taken place before the period that difference was said to arise. Now, "eith re." `gard to the 'effect which the COUP of iliie (Hades. iron appeared to have epost the mind of en O. Friend behind him (Mr. seer Wen )., he WO ter. Willy sererised at it. • Ili' ItOn.
