A vast change had been operated in ronimtenee• in the administration of the law it self. In 1814, on the 19th July, a Bill was bronchi into the ' Haw about two o'clock Is the morning—and ; it was need lees to say it, read a first time. It gave Government the tower to remit penalties iaeurred under the revenue laws, even after conviction. It was read a second time on alas 26th, pawed the House of Lords en the 28th, and on the Beth received the Royal 'Assent. This Act put the finishing band to the lufleeoce of the revenue system. To sbew the "operation of it, he would refer to oae of the latest informa tions brought under these laws. It was for an infringement Of the 42.1 George 111. against mixing table-beer with strong. There were fourteen or fifteen counts, and on one count there were 21 penalties incur. ed, amounting to 21,000/. A man of only 5,0091. would 90011 ff lose a third of his property, however inutment, than risk such a contention. There could lie no escape in a scheme so bewildering and overwhelming for innocence the most eon• Armed. Re thought be had now dune enough to illustrate his proposition, that in estimating the influence of the Crown they must not lay ont of the effullet the amount of the debt and the access'. ily large tempera to pay the interest of it, the manner in which it was raised, sad the grinding operation on the industrious people, by interrupting their honest and useful avocations—disturbing the boom and wary trader, and making the must independent of them Ipso Judo traitors fur the mercy retire Crown— sending Members from their constituents to the Treasury— iarrossinC, ih short, in every way, direct and inclir.-ct, the is. Agent, of Ilse Crown over the minds and property attic peas. !le. He might also state that the interest war better Mn. aged and arranged now than formerly. Of all the improvements of the Fast thirty 'years, nose was more ' effectual than this in all the departments of the Slate. He knew that the Treasury professed not to interfere meth—and that the patronage transferred from it to the Boards of Customs and Excise had actually been accounted for by an ineresce of salaries to the Treasury. He came to the last consideration, on the articles of increased iolusoce. They bad gut over the vast war eapenditure, amounting in ' owe Of two years in 130,000.0001. (a sum which startled the imagination, which was Not to be apprehended, though they titled the terms, which eluded the groat, of the tairderstanding), • to the more moderate am about 70.000,0001. But it was not to be supposed that the expense of the war produced the whole effect, or hail concluded it. He alluded to the habit, wind. minty years of a more honest Govern ment, with a Parliament better con-tituteil, of the greater part of the people looking to the Government for the greater part of the ways and means of life ; lead this was us a view I. the maiiitesaace of almost every family jest above the mere labourers. He routrasted the ecommany of offices •i the end of the American war with the present period, whew the Slate was full of offices, of which the most cousiderahte lem not too ioeignileant for the highest classes, and the ower ones were large inure% to corrupt the en--wer realm This principle was most deeply rooted in the higher ranks of society he acquitted the middling ranks of it altoge ther; the junior 'winches of the higher families erne taught to look entirely to the Court for their ma.nte. sauce. It did not signify that the number of offices was greatly reduced, there would be a greater struggle for the remainder. Again, looking et the debt now mid in 1780, how much more nee ***** y the resolutions of that former period were at present? Had the proposers bees alive, they would have carried into operation more effectual m-apores fora remedy. He wished to observe urn the language then held, especially by the Hon. and Learned permit whose name was coupled with so great celebrity in the irsissart me. MI. Dunning talked of the eorrapt and pe• cuoiary infloenee of the Crows within those walls (terms which he, Mr. Brougham, would be severely censured for • sling). Mr. Dunning was ask. d what he meant by corrupt and pecuniary influence. His reply was, that he had nu he. 'illation in saying that of his sown personal knowledge, there were fifty Members In the 'Lome who voted central y to the opinions which thry held out of it. " I do not wish," said • he, " to he Ferman', but if you goad me with it, cosi what it will, I will same them." Nu one thought Ai to take up the challenge -11 coconuts:ice which reverted hint (Mr. Brougham) from revealing their names to the House. B u t besides this, there was the language of the predecessor in the honours of the CLaim. He declared that h e fell himself hound to say that the influence of the Crown had incrm amyl beyond all idea of a moanchy strictly limited in nature and extent. He wished also to give the opinion of a wise mid mild persortagtnise who Was inclined to credit, and never was known to have thwartmd any mea sure of any Gvveriinsesit•-4 ostler Blackstone—erring heroic the American war, when the system of Government ens in. gonsparably less expensive, in reckoning up the checks mid gisfegoards set against the prerogative, considered the in creased influence as a complete counterpoise to the Dill of lit ght•— " Y.l, though these prosiaioiss have, in appearance and nominally, re.muceml the ati mettle of the executive power 10 a muck lowei ebb than 111 the preceding period; if ow the Other bind tram throw into the opposite scale (what perhaps the teneriel rate reduction of the aucient prerogative may have rendered in souse degree nee sssss the vast acquisiiien or force a. isiug Clone the Riot Act, and the asnual typed'. roc.- of a sianiling army, and the vast acquisition of per. a .nel attachment, arisiog Cum the magnitude of the asthma' d. bt, amid the manner of levying those yearly millions that are approp.i.ce.l to pay the interest, we shall And that the Crown lira, gradually sod impercevlibly, gained almost as mach influence as it has apparautly lost in prerogative" This was the language held by that great and temperate man to 1765. What would lie have said now ? He talked of the power from the Riot Act—we find glen our six Acts. ilia standisig army of 17,000 Lad since here 00,000. He talked of the vast quantity of proximal attachment from the debt, aid the annual m.lhous required fur to pay the interest. The clued was then 130 millions—it was now 800 millions. H. thought four nullities nod a half of interest as equivaleut for the lose of prerogative by the Bill of Rights—that interest now required 50 millions. Who could doubt but if mess like Mr. Dooming, Sir Fletcher Norton, •sid dodge Blackstone, could hold such 'mileage al that time, that the reasons must he overwhelmingly greater (or such resolutions at this period? He than proceeded to argue such eq. alone as might be brought against the morale. He bevel, expected that any one would contend, as Mr. Roes bad dune in 1810, " that there were as many places abolish ed as bad been created." Though in reap et to that it came Out by much dexterity in the management, that of 1,5110 places vested, there had been in one department—the salt dunes-500 places abolished. The 500 places saved about 2C1,000/, all average of abcut 501. each. The 1,500 averaged 300/. each. The next answer might he that there were fewer placeincu titan ever in Parliament. His creators was, bow many ? In 1780 there were not more than eighty or ninety; call it ninety, to satisfy Gentlemen opposite. Now, by the remoras to les Hon. Friend's (Mr. G.

But this argument was listened to in 1780. Placeraten bad .1- .ready been excluded by the statute of All..—sthat of George I. excleded many more, and all peasioaers without distinction. The Place Bill of Geo. If. lopped off several, and yet no man pretended to use is 1780 that enough had bees hone by Lord Carteret in 1741, became his Lordship then reported that there were 200 platinum la the Howe. Stich arguments would have availed Gelb* ; the answer would how been that they most have recourse to mate other remedy if that were romidered dangerous—but mote plow men mutt be excluded. The whole argument was inevi table sod coaclusive beyou4 me .in regard to these times, only that the peisciple admitted a far more powerful remedy would be required. He came now to the last pro bable argument to be opposed to him—lbw right working of the system. " True," it would be said, "we tawnot deuy, we cannot prevent the increase of the establisbeetala I bet there is as myth practical liberty in the eoustiy, as much purity in Parliament, as formerly." He thOlairin this mo at. gement, if he ',hewed that the dependance of the people on the Inatome of the Crown was already toe winch is the Americas war. Bat the argument was nothing, as they had lived to witness the conduct of subsequent Parliaments, under the stew system. He acknowledged one groeral agree ment in this all, that whomsoever the King chose for Mi nister, the Howie •oifuruily supported him, because he was Minister, nod not front any other cossideration. He would maintain It as broadly as he hod stated it. He meant to may, that so great was that influence on the Hoene, and through the country, any one whom the Crown might have named would, in the last five or sic Peritoneal*, have been supported by the majority of that Hinsue. He nabd this with only two qualificatious—that the Minister should be chosen front the usual classes, and chose to rink bus office on the measure he proposed. He would begin with the last division before Mr. Pitt left office in 1801, which was attended by his uses! M- I iimphant majority of 245 (His Hon. Friend invited him to be ' gin sith later times—he would come at them by.and by). Mr. Pitt was followed by 4 In I, and seldom divided in less force. There were 63 out of3oo who opposed him. " Aye, but then," it was said, " think of his great hereditary name—his splen did talents—his uninspeached personal character, and his vast popularity is the country." But he event out and was siicceeiled by soother Pinot. Minister, who differed from him in one little particular, which the people might 'vainly • imagine to be the least ; it proved howiver to be the grealeit. He was the King's Chief Minister. Whether from the p slitical affectiou the House bore him, nr that spit. rit of optimism which all men have more or less for the Go vernment they live under, certain it was, that Mr Asiding.on noreerdsd not oily to Mr. Pict's pace in the Cabinet, but ' t.i his conlidesee and an pport in the Howse Unhappily,th,t ' which all men valued least, tinned out to be his best, if not bis only, but still a very sufficient recommendation. The first trial of strength between Mr. Pitt and Mr. Addington, who were for the Arid time now twain, soon came us. The House saw the schism between the ex-Miniater utilities for the time being, and before it could runeeiii , iitly resolve, was pushed rather indelicately to the test. "Come, said Mr. Pit., .4 4, i us have no speeches, no tirades, ell blame in the House nor loud praises dine out of doors—come to the vote, let me see what you will do, after fuVowiejr me for 20 long years and more, white 1 had the good things of once at my disposal, and you were all gratitude and fervency." They did come to the vote. He grieved to say it. As main as 373 not of 400, who were in the House, did by their votes declare that they preferred Mr Addington to Mr. Pitt. His valuable name, his personal virtue*, addrems ..d PoPoletilY—the fame uf his greet anre.lry, propelled within half a citatory, by himself for a rooter of a tesiterythe lore of admiring friends, the gratitude of placernen crested by him, the vinirsetnes replenished by bilk, the Aldermen o f pest cities, Kniehis of shires and representatives of rotten boroughs—all %hoot he bad swayed over, mad witness ed their devotion to him, expressed in every possible way, from the highest to the t, from awn as elevated as Mr. Foe down to the gentleman (he ironic! not Came him) who brill up a bank note in the House—all forsook him, and seceded at one*. Mr. Addington's high qoaltfieatiosi• sod great personal virtues—Mr. Addiagton's' undiminished and m uch- eavied popularity—Mr Addington's high sneestry,great attainments, entirely overmatched (on the fiat thy i hat Ise led up the King's Govenament in the warfare of Paitisuiren) the gratitude and all the great and hoisourable influence of ' Mr. Pitt's former life sad service,. Out of all who had s u p. ported him only 56 remained fkithful among the fuithlers ; hut even they fell off to a considerable amount us the next division. Mr. Addington's administration had a more severe trial to undergo. It was assailed at the a.m. juncture by Lord Grenville and his friends. Mr. Pitt •nil his triends, Mr. Fox sod his friends, against all these, however, Mr. Addistg. ton a Mintiest to make • stood fir nearly a year. A change was at lost effected—but how? Toe greater cumber of Mr. Adilingtoit's ministry were friends of Me. Pitt (the Noble Lord opposite for rote). These sod Mr. Put un derstood welt other pot city well; but so Ono could doubt that if Mr. Pitt's fiends would hove staid and Mr. Addington had resolved 10 stead by hisS igo its hie Sovereign would have stood by him, that Mr Addington weight host' bees M inn'. r. The Admimistrstion formed in 1802 was nut din. solved till 1806. Tu some of those in opposition to Mr. Pitt there were phrases used little short of charging them with rebellion ; w'y., one orator did actually gut so far as • to talk of Mr. Fox having standee' the standard at rebellion. Au event happened, however, about 1836 which threw a light en the senses of the House, and wipe. eially Mr. Putt and Colonel Petry. This event wee no other Una Mr. Fox temente into office. The Howe felt • wouderful elmege hisiantly wrought upon. Mr. Fox, also wall cluiNird with rebellious before, once called to the Minis try by his Sovereign, was supposed to he the most constite. throat sir statesineu. They waited with coition—they trust ed nothing—hut as soon as they found that he was ready advertised iu the Gazelle, when the matter rolls, be au longer doubted that he had his &mere igu's support, then came also shat corietsiire support of the How... On the 3d Match that same House which had branded him with the change of rebellion, no longer withheld their confidence. Tin que•t lois oral rengt h was not at lest tried; but • t length in , almost six weeks lifter he had been appointed, the trial came. He never saw • stronger case shoo was embodied in the re solo iou which related to the appointeneut of Lord Client:to rough : sever was the wesksiess of those out of office, or the strength of those in more maosfeet. The Iluum took time, for it was an award of much forethought, and indeed thought both before and after, always proportioning its dis taste 61 the do istom of lime men are Ou • Of pore.. the most cousti to t lanai and biodiog obedience to those who hold. The question was du termined, through a very simile coincidence, by the same majority that Mr. Pitt enjoyed. Mr. Pitt had divided 245 to 63. There wese 222 in the majority on this divisis•, though the Opposition trona were mar shalled and fought under Mr. Pill, and yet, with all the ad vantages of disciplire Wig established in their faroor, they only mastered sixty.five on that steno( and pinching test questiow, which was of the last importauee, as it was held to affect the astral administration of justice. But if soy ob jection could be urged to his proposition offer Ibis he should be glad to hear it. Thus much for • Tory Portia. mein, summoned under the proper 'inspires of a Tory chief. He came now to consider how it fired onto a Par. 'lament under Whig auspices The enteral Owls), took place in A tatiusi, 1 008. That uperition which before, mid in the last century, used to be called purging, was effected, sod 180 new members were returued. It would be expected that this Hamm redeemed the trseisressinna of the past; but indeed it did rather worse, and itself greater discredit than lbw former, its illustrious predecessor. A great difference of opinion was knows. to prevail between Ministers mid the Opposition. 1111111 difference was openly and hook', stated by as Hon. Member whom he had then in his eye. On the adders* to the throne au amendment was moved, chicly re• biting to foreign affairs. The party, aware of the st.eugth of M i Osiers, would nut show their own weakness on a division. Tile next subject was the misty estimate', ionaprising Mr. Wyedissm's skew military phut: still nu di•ision.

"AU ' is not right yonder," *id they.—" we bad better sot p as thing sek • w b e lli t ue e h es uj i r4;—e d r ig ae g arr i_ ee w Mi w e le ieu rdli co ic s h ared u n e s s t of i ni s tb i p o uti_ ol b ai o s oc i .,:t t d 6n t s a ‘ a 4 l : d n uni eGam r : a i :item:, sail — t—i t " : l ni ll t a in e h rt i tt a . . ...re 1 • suSe t does ant Foz is vie , aigisify to es—there is something not as it hat hero.- -our only staostioit is, are they in office [. ,fade, or are they mit ? a at welt eh a King els facto."

Accordingly, on the next division the majority tug to one half, and the Sovereign, to relieve the cemeieace, of those who were doubting and wavering with their duty audio satisfy ell scruples orb ibeever, dismissed the Ministers. Os the 12th March pnly sixty persons could be fowled In support them on a tray strong qomitiows sod only 57 a few days afterwards on a still stronger question; but on motor had the House listen its observation, than those 60 or 5T persons became expended in a must marvellous manner, not only to 100, bet l e 359, forming an less than an absolaie majority of ibe Met/Owes in the House when the question was called. And, as always happeued, wheoever the meek. dente of the Huge. in his Majesty's Ministers was comer.- ed, these was a foil stiendence ready to declare by their votes that they 11 ad never liked the late Ministers-41am they liked those who succeeded them better, aad to thank his Maj-st y fur choosing allure in their plseet Aid three days afi erwards„ if they had been chauged again, they would have t aken another observation, and adopted a new declaention, that the friends and foquovers of the late lamented Mr. Fox were the only persons capthle of forming a Ministry deserving of the confiulenee of the nttion.
