Os the crity. he thought it would be highly useful tbalthls Mu** of the county of Kent should rentals en the eyesight Ors!. liniment, to wars other coastlines/Mast being betrayed ions the avowal of principles so disgraceful to them selves, and so calculated to bring ruin on the cosetry. It was sot with any surprise that be bad heard the Noble Lord opposite (Lord J, Ransil) dieclaim a cloturing is unjust, so flagitious, and so pregnant with ruin sod sle- I gradation to the country, as that avowed in this Peti tion; but the Noble Lord must forgive him for 'tastiest, that lie had beard part of his observations with gnat pain. The Noble Lord said that he could never coosent to such a measure, except in a case of overwhelming ne cessity. By what process of.reasoning , he would ask. could the Noble Lord couple the word consent with I overwhelming necessity? When such a state of things as the Noble Lord contemplated, had thrown all the barriers of restraint, and dissolved all the ties of mora lity, what room was there for consent.—(Hear, hear) ? He protested against this mode of expression, because it was calculated to give too moth countenance to the no tion of that convenient sort of necessity, which might tecoptOentlenwin to give their consentto the spoliationof property which belonged as justly to the public creditor, as the lands of the house of Bedford did to the Noble Lord's family. He (Lord L) considered the right of the public creditor to the get tof the debt as sacred as I that of the Duke of Bedford to the manors to whicirlse was legally entitled. He hoped the word consent would again be mixed up with a transaction, whieb could, only be one of pure violence. With tepid to Parlia mentary Reform, he bad no wish to twelve that ques tion. The Noble Lord would, of course, continue to en tertain his own opinions on that subject, and ledeultted not, that whenever he again introduced it, he would die- , cuss the question-la the sense temperate aid enlightened planner which had always marked his Parliamentary forts; he hoped, however, that the language of this Pe tition would operate as a caution to him and other Par liamentary Reformers, and induce them to pause before they attempted to break dowa the existing forms of the representation of the country, and place it in a state in which meetings, like that of the county of Kent, might send mandates to that House so inconsistent with all the principles ofjnatice and sound policy. Lord J. RUSSELL expressed his surprise that the Noble Lord (Londonderry) should have so misunder stood his meaning, especially as he bad studiously qua. lified his expressions, by stating that be meant net a gratuitous necessity, but such a necessity as would be felt alike by all parties in that House. He meant to put the strongest possible case of necessity, such a case for instance, as when we were unable to pay the interest of the debt, or when the presence of a foreign enemy at our gates rendered the independence and safety of the country paramount to every other consideration. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY said be was hap py to hear the anxiety of the Noble Lord to explain his expressions, bat the case put by the Noble Lord could only justify the nation in postponing the performance of its engagements, and not in consenting to the don of them. He again lamented that the men of rank in the county of Kent, for the sake of their own station io the country, bad not rescued themselves from the stain of this clause in the petition, by showing that manly reprobation of it at the time of its proposal, which the Members of the county bad now exhibited upon reflection. Lord J. RUSSELL said, he was ready to retract the word " consent," if the Noble Lord wished it, but he really was not aware that the Noble Lord was such a critic about language—(a laugh). He (Lord J. R.) thought that the Whigs hid been carried away by the feeling of the whole meeting, which feeling bad been mainly produced by the uieasures of the Noble Lord op posite. Mr. CALCRAFT said, that es a freeholder of the county of Kent, be wished to take the liberty of laying. a few words. He vonlil not concur in the last s a_ had enforced the sentiments which they had that night at the meeting, the obnoxious p would never have been carried. Ho was persu tut it was only from want of a proper explanation of this nature and object of the Resolution that the freebe* era of the county bad been induced to adopt it. it Wok the duty of the Members of the county to have staid the meeting combating such a proposition to the pr moment, rather than to have consulted to it. He mil satisfied, that bad not be (Mr. C.) been engaged in de ties which be conceived to be more important in that House. eves so bumble an individual as himself could have successfully exposed the weakness and fallacy,of the proposition brought forward Is? Mr. Cobbett, aid have induced the Meeting to reject it. It was said that Gentlemen were taken by surprise, but when nue under took to manage public meetings, they ought to be pre pared for emergencies of this sort. lie bad reason to knew that the individual who proposed this resolution was not certain of haying it seconded, and that be had not the slightest expectation of seeing it adopted. Sir E. KNATCHBULL said, in explanation, that If his lion. Colleague had joined him in opposing ;he pro position, Mr. Cobbett and his Amendment Would have been consigned to merited disgrace. Mr. J. SMITH ex reseed his conviction that the great body of the freeholders of the county were incapable of supporting so unjust and flagitious a proposition. It was &severe 'mortification to him to find that the county of Kent was the first to come forward for the purpose of petitioning Parliament to violate the public faith. Mr. BROUGHAM said, that two objects seemed to be in the view of the Noble Lord opposite, and _the worthy Baronet.the Member for Kent; one, to cast blame on the leaders of the Whig aristocracy—(Sir E. Knatchbull said " Nu" across the table.)—He was sur prised to bear the worthy Baronet deny that such was his intention (Sir E. Knatchball said he bad merely expressed his regret at the conduct of the Whig leaders.) Well, then, be would suppose the worthy Baronet to have expressed his regret ; and surely there was no more cutting away of casting blame, than by expressipg a Brest ankt very tender regret at the conduct of ',Wks, for without giving up one iota as to the propriew of motives, men contrived by this form of casting blanie't throw an imputation at the same time upon the eider standing of those of whose conduct they disapproved.—; Bet besides the object of attacking the leaders of the Whig Aristocracy, there was another object is the view of Members on the other side of the House, apt panics larly of the Noble Lord, that of attacking public County Meetings in general through the sides of the Kent Meeting. And well they might come to this cootie aim', if there were soy foundation for their premises, foi no doubt if the county of Kent was liable to all this blame—if the freeholders of Kent were not to be trusted either as to the parity of their motives, or the sagacity of their views—be knew not where in all England a amity was to be found in whose probity or intelligence they could rely. He now rose. therefore, for the per of vindicating both these parties, on the shening of the assailants themselves. for the two attacks could not possibly stand together. or be reconciled with each other. If the Meeting were to blame, then the Whig leaders must be exen'pated ; If the Whig leaders were to blame, then it was impossible to cast any Imre ,tation on the Meeting. Ihis was a dilemma from which it was impossible for Hon. Gentlemen opposite to extri cate themselves, and be would skew the House why he 'had a right to call upon them, either, In the first place, ,to acquit one or *thee of these parties s• or, in the se- coed place, to do what be contended they were boned in fairness to do, namely, to acquit them both. The _.S' Hos. . leaden Heidi% wire rus, peaselng ‘ accor th est e Whig tee d th been seceessfol, _ had sot enlightened Mead - lg. have eelisted the preposition—it wee The nel-re demon to which the propeoltios •owied he alfirseess.-- Bat whet followed from this breech' f. the diliiinsse?—: if the Whig leaders were is fault, the meeting awn escape from all blame. for it was to be premueed that the real same of the meeting was not in fame of ellip edioes proposition, and that it would sot have Men to tithe Whig leaders bad done their duty. The ego s d y &tenet had, however, exculpated the leaders free Bide( any tappers so the Rieolodos, sad ono Milk Lord. a limber of thoothei House (lord Darn lop) did some forward amid oppose it. The Worth; Be itaidet did-not deny that essay of the Whig leaders did joie that Noble lord la his opposition. and give their TOW agalost the proposition—(Sir E.

It appeared. Shoitehrsohat one of the Whig leaders bed made a .mineeb against the proposition—the only speech which beamed. against it—and that the others had shown lzrobatios of it by Miss against it. Yet the k 11l *met had most inconsistently blamed the aildoerag for sot opposing what. -iron his own 41 appeared they had . opposed. asd.hithad *fades forhaving bees the dupes of that 1 denptisition.

He (Mr. B.) was inclined to think that if a far ther explanation of the nature and consequences of the Rewinds°, which bad unfortunately been embodied in the Peditiou, had been given, it might have been reject od/bedlie spoke of coarse with much distrust of a met ier' of which he had no personal or local knowledge. He pretested, however, against the doctrine, that this ad dition which bad been made to the Petition. ought to I diminish the weight and aotherity Which belonged to I•the rest of it. The meeting was emphatically, and lens any figure of speech. a meeting of the county eat; it was crowded with men of all parties, tuAtlY of whom were friends of the Worthy Baronet himself. No man eoald deny, that with respect to their complaint of grievances. and the question of Parliamentary Reform, the Polities spoke the deliberate and redacting HMO 01 AlLX__lliedtddjle n zgejLag, _._ jid i asilp • - li to cos- _ _ _ __. • bees em reedimialsh the weight to which the Petitime wept eiXtled. He trusted the people of England would Wet deterred from exercislog the right which they had is his hawses exercised, and that they world continue to slow their clear and deliberate sense of tbs, distresses seder which they . were tottering, and the - nuises,of those distresses , in Petitions to Parliament wills the Sessions lasted, and to the Throne during the recess. The less such represeotstions were attempted tubs stided —the more folly and freely they were discussed, the bet ter for the public creditor himself, am l the more securely would publio credit be placed on a basis which nothing cold shake but that overwhelming necessity which was paramount to all argument, and which, as the Noble Lord opposite (Londonderry) had justly observed, put all consent entirely out of the suestion. Such a propo sition ought never to be entertained but in circumstances of the greatest ,extremity; least of all ought it to be brought forward is the crude, hasty, ill-considered, and net at all digested form, ha which the last paragraph of She Petidon embodied a sentiment which would never have beets adopted by the Meeting. .hail it been tho roughly canvassed, and which hi impel never to see in pleduced into a Petition again. Mr. CALCRAFT, in explanation, said, that be bad sot given himself out as the prime orator of the county of Rent, as was implied by the observations of the floe. and Learned Gentleman KW. Broaghani). After all, tiowever, the orator of the county of Westmorland hail come mind to precisely the same point as the supplied •rator of the county of Kept, namely, that if the Resolu tion had been properly explained and duly canvassed. it would have been rejected by theMecting.—(Hear, and a laugh.) Sir E. KNATCHOULL and Mr. HONYWOOD ea ! `plained. Mr. BROUGHAM, in explanation, said. that the No ble Lord to whom he had alluded (Lord Usraley) had net merely expressed his disapprobation of the proposi tion; bet that be bad characterised it in terms of consi derable. acerbity, if be might judge from the common reports al .that hisetiag. [We presume the Learned Member alluded W the Reports in the Newspapes.] hiargeees of LGONWNUERRY, in exiilanaiion, dialed hitting said any thing against County Meetings generally. He merely said that the meeting which had toriginated the petition now before the House, bad con signed to a reformed• Parliament the performing of an , set of spoliation upon the public creditor. He would not rail this injustice, or say that it was any thin int proper, but really he could not' discriminate it from wrong. He was acre that there were Slot many .county meetings that would wish to we a House of Commons that could be capable of proposing such a measure. 'Mr. BROUGHAM differed entirely as to the terms in which the petition was expressed. Though he regretted the use of the language which had been employed in the addition, because, however unjustly, it gave a handle to the Noble Lord, and the Hon. Gentleman opp isiv, to accuse county meetings of folly, of which they were nut guilty. He thought, however, that it ill became those who had first depreciated the currency, and then the property of every man in the country, to find fault with a Mere recommendation to reduce the interest of the debt—(Cheers from the opposition.) Lord curroN allowed that it was rather an odd matter for a man to accuse himself; but he would coatis* that there had not been on the part of the Whig leaders, as they were called. that activity and energy which the case.seensed to demand [hear!].

Mr. WESTERN could not but admire the consent* mate assurance of the Gentlemen opposite, it' denounc. ing the County of Kent for doing that which those very tleatlemen had been doing fur the last two•and.rwen.f years. It was hard indeed that the Cage of the pub;,e creditor should /monopolise oil the consideration of the State, and the debtor remain neglected.
