and of the arguments urged in debate—having given every
weight to the difficult position of Europeans at Canton and
other Chinese ports—l could not conscientiously refrain
front testifying my disapproval of the extreme measures
which were resorted to without the sanction of the Home.
Government. Believing, also, that the House of Commous
should•exercise a constant control over our agents abroad,
I felt obliged to adopt the only practical means I possessed
of asserting the rights of parliamentary interference in the
affairs of our distant possessions. No Englishman is more
jealous than myself of the honour and greatness of his
country, or more desirous that her guardianship over her
cittzens should be felt in every region of the world; but
however degraded may be the character of our enemies--
however atrocious may be the acts to which they have re-
sorted in retaliation, I could neither sanction by my vote
in its favour, nor retrain by silence from denouncing the
bombardment of a great city teeming with a deteuceless
population fur no better reasons than those which have
hitherto been put forward on behalf of our agents in
China."
