Mr. Hutktnum, eqd their retpycttfft psrtjsttp*.—
With. respect to rease I*mef ge»tleme», kw iCelirore
that they run at always he the antiijaeobitis *2*<mst
the jacohsns—theysannot coincide with Mr. Whit
bread upon Buonaparte’$ nwifeivr/roH—they caunut
pet with Mr. Whitbread and sir Francis Burdctt
trpoMhe necessity of peace—they cannot Joiti the
oppalHion who have always been hostile to Mr.
Piti’s principles—they can never lose sight of that
great man tnvjer whom Urey stepped forward into
the world. Down to a certain eperind they are
pledged to defend the measures of the present ad
mudst/ation — they tire pledged t.i the pest, and they
art pledged also, ns lai «s principle and rimsist -n
cy go, to the future, But even if they were not so
pledged, lord Gastlereagb could never lie seen in the
ranks of the Grenvilles at>d the F(»*it»», w bo bear
liim an enmity beyond that which political rivals
generally hear to each other, and who have treated
him with a licence not equalled perhaps since the
memorable conflicts between lord North and Mr.
Fox; nor, we are persuaded, could Mr. Cunning,
even did not those Considerations of jpfim iple mid
consistency exist, to which we have alluded, (,«
prevailed upon to join the opposition, even if th
latter have made the most pressing overtures to
him, which, from some recent demonstrations that
have hepn given through their moan, w# presume
they have not. With respect to Mr. ilushins-in, if
the moderation and kindness of his nature did not
forbid every idea of violent hostility from him a
gainst any party, we ale convinced that he bears no
ill-wtj) to government ; and we cannot relinquish
the hope that we shall see him again .inactive mem
ber of the present administration.
V* iiiir npji'i’i.i'ni ui« it. u i r i ujnnu mi. ur'iwin
who is lo l.« the hea i—Mr. Ponsonby, Mr. Whit
bread, or Mr. Tierney ; (he former gentleman has
the voire of the Grenvilles and lord Grey, who is
always !o he considered ns more attached to the
Grenvilles than to the Foxites. lint Mr. Ponsonby
is srarcely pqual to the task—abilities he certainly
has, hfitntlhty hie not of that wale and tare kind
that is adahtcd to every 'lay labour—he is not a
debitorof a!l'£'jrk—%nod at an attack where, pre
paration is allowed him, hut not equal t»* those ca
sualties which so'r.qucntlv occur—nut vigorous in
.reply, and though not destitute of viol, nee, pirnaps
not sufficiently coarse. Mr. Whitbread aod Mr.
Tierney have a decided superiority over him.
Mr. Whitv r„ad iS not sudd i.oily manageable I v
the party ; beanies, upon the great question of
peace or war, lie (itiiers with them fundament ally.
But Mr. Tierney, sin-e the removal of lord Homy
Petty toth* other house, has I; ecu mem join'd by ma
ny of the party as "likely in lead. In any change
that should have brought the opposition in (qj ‘d
Dius aturtut), hud Henry Petty would have resum
ed his lormer situation : hut tlus, Ins removal to
the house of peers would prevent, f>>r the chancel
lor (if the ex. hequer must he in the house of riuu
nvitis. Mr. Tierney then is iti signaled by the op
position lor that office ; and hence it is supple’,
that lus pretensions to heat (■ , head of me p.oly
in the house ot commons «re . Ironger than those of
Mr. Punsonhy. As to Mr. Windham, he is not
thought o(, for if the whim seized him, he would
♦urn upon his party with just us much bitterness us
lie would aita'k the ministry.
In l^s house of lords parties are more equ illy
balaMed than in the noupe ol commons. The
marqm of Wellesley will he >*ii antagonist, AllII'l til*
dittnu* of lore. Gienville—toe earl of Liverpool wiil
take cure of lord Grey—lord lint hoi at .vdl heinoi
than sufficient tor the niaiquis m L.nsdnvne—lord
Harrowby Alii hspos ; of lord I I II,and lord Ll-iou
will beat least a ,n .teh for lord Ersktne—and lord
Mulgrave will occupy lord Sidmmith.
What the Ivtisnlfss tid the subjects will ho that
will employ the imiin unite attention of parliameni,
we need not enumerate. The object of the opposi
tion is to take advantage hf any public disaster,and
indeed, as Mr. tVilberforre so limy said of them,
“ to wish for just la much public calamity ns will
serve to get themcelves in, and their adversaries
•ut.” But there is on» party, a la<ye ,,ne too. that
will pause a good deal before they dc.-i.ed to see
them in again—the party of the people. L-t us
fqnsuiar—If Mr, Whitbread be the head of the op
position, the people cannot wish him to come in,
because,as he will not he consistent with his prin
ciples, the nation must he prep ir.d at onct to denv
the necessity or the justice ot Us efforts ugamst
France, and adopt a si stem that A mild i„y it at the
feet of Buonaparte; f-.r such woulu b* the ellectof
any peace made with him at present,
if Mr. Poosonby ne the heail of the Opposition,
and they were to coine in lo the exclusion of Mr.
Whit.bread, wb-at better chime t:f being better co
Verned have we than when they were last m ? Se>
of what discordant elements they tire rfMiipwfrd—
Mr. Windham. who has belonged to Wr. Pitt’s par
i ly—Mr. Ponfrni'j to the Foxites—Mr. Unpgt t>
the Sidmoffths. and Mr. Tierney to all. Have thV\
ope principle in common but that of love of power ?
Is there any si*-> ies of inconsistency they have not
been guilty of? anv hind of hostility vvhieli tli v
have not been in the hfthit of practising towards
each other? Wedesirc the country ttwrcfnre. tneonte
forward and soy, whether they cqn wi,h (no, it is
iqipossihly they can wish) li'-« government to he
Carried on by a set ol men who are united only in
their love ot power, and disunited in every u|ie sen
tirnent that constitutes unity of public prim ■ pit.
It is this certainty tli.it forms part of the stiength
of any party opposed to them. Faults no doubt the
present ministers have committed, and it is not a
roong the least uftbun liiattiiey made overtures to
♦ha leaders iif the opposition, there’ y courting «n
alliance with ruin and disgrace. But their faults
have At least been balanced. , Thry cannot shew,
as tbeir prrdecessots did, h regolai unbroken track
ot imbecility & apuihy—nothing vigorous ! ut thetr
promises—nothing weak i ut their parlor,nahres.
One word Iron* the people to alt parlies.. It i*.
that they would not de.oto so much of their time
to personal t anil lets and party .mitnositics ; and
that they would not prove tue strength of their ron
Ititutionv by pinUm’l'iig the r discussions lit to lair

Mr. Bibb having on a former day declared his in
tention of voting in favour ot the amendments, left
it his duty to declare he should now vote against
Mr. CJardenier was in favour »f a ronrurrenre.—-•
He ably combatted t„e assertions ol' gentlemen who
Sjmke before him—** that the bill as U now Stout!
was submission." Ile eon lauded that so far from
its being submission, it was actual resistance; by
th« Berlin audulhir French decree# we w.jre order
ed not to tr.trie with England under rcruiri penal
ties, and by the orders in robiicil of Cireat-Uritaiu
v.e were prohibited trading with France or any oi
the powers who may insist in enforcing her decrees.
Liy tins bill we derlufe we will trade with both if we
liud it advantageous so to do, ami theielore it is re
sistance. Under the system we have hitherto pur
sued we hire done those things which tidy have order
ed vs to da, and Idt undone those things which they

Tbs question (beii recurred an ftgrWin| tofjlter#.'
Mt. IXnw called t»r a division t>f the question, so
d» to detain the J3ib section ahicti limits the'aura
lion nt ihe law autii the entf of the next sessivu%f
congress.
Mr. liar tin #utrd that double Were entertained
whether under the fc»ll ** it now stood the penalties
nml lorleitoies incurred under the present restric
tive laws could he recovered, lie therefore, for the
purpose of removing douhts, moved as ho amend
ment a new section wbich provides for the recovery
ol .ill such as may have been incurred.
Mr. Livermore and Mr, Quincy both spoke in
opposition to this amendment.
Mr. Key was likewise opposed to the amendment
—he fully proved that it was unnecessary—the law
mi tael i being surti.~i.ntly explicit.
A desultory conversation then took plare on the.
construction which might be given *to the bill,
when the question was taken and the amendment
carried, 97 voting in thealfirmative.
Mr. 1-ppe#, after a variety of*observations in op
position to the principle# ot the hill, us amended, of
lered three new sections us amendments to the a
meiidmrnts of toe se hate,
'fbe lint section provides, that anv vessel bound
lor any poll or place not actually invested, may tie
allowed to arm tor her defence, not hating any ar
tit les contraband ot war on Imarri, against capture
by the armed ships of England.
The second section is precisely similar, only it
ndatis to f rame instead ot Oieal Britain..
Mr. Mu.nford was tn favour of merchant ves

their being p< mulled to arm lor their own defetire.
He was not tor plat mg it m tbt power ol the rner*

Mr. 1) ,na did not agree with the gentleman from
New Vork exactly, though he did believe that If
these propositli ns were adopted and thev should
produce a war, Ine people ol the country would see
