'essay, my lord, it cannot be coroidered any very
great stretch of the constitutional privilege of a legs-
hates assembly to represent arievaness, if in so doing
they asked for some modifications of this law, the
more especially when such an instance of its intem-
perate exercise, is that is Cephalonia, was fresh in
their memory.
Whatever may be your lordship's opinion se to this
perpetual suspension of the Habeas Cmpus Act at
pleasure, lie Henry Ward evidently tilt ashamed of
his position and power in this instance; _ aad,
although; la his answer to the address, he oomplaioed
piteously to the assembly, " Your injustice has
wounded me sensibly," he neve:Melees, avowed hie
readiness "to meet them on the settlement of this
question, if sought in cosailiation and good faith'
And be did so; for at a subsequent period,. whoa
pressed os this :point, he sought to compromise for
yielding to certain modifications in the high pollee
law, by demanding, on his side, that the assembly
shored surrender to his tender mercies the freedom

conferred," of " the large amount of freedom given,"

each elector of giving to any one mudidthe as
many votes as there are members le he
etteeted, so that as Corte, for instance, edam
itZ manhole, any one elector can give era votes thaw
one candidate, and the hundred or more govionment
wirploya there can march dawn and give 600 masa to
any appointed candidate, such privilege being, pro.
feseely given to prevent the minority being swamped
by the majority, a rare ooestitutiosal priaciple, cer-
tainly. As to No. 4, the right of the earembly to
regulate the expenditure, sus has beee base urea-
dee this privilege nugatory as far as possible. The
military expenses were fixed, beyond the umbel of
any fature assembly, at 23,0001. per annum, sad the
civil het at 13,0 Ni. per annum, and this out of a
revenue which seldom exceeds 170,00 W. per annum.
Well may your lordshipoinerve "that the principle of
constitutional government cannot be applied to those
islands" Where such things are submitted to, sem-
etitutional government is impossible, sad the privileges
of a legislative assembly a fame.
But wee this the interpretation intended to be put
upon the coestitution guaranteed to the bogus by
the treaty of Paris? Certainly not. I might eel.
dime your lordship's own despatch et 1839, kat that
yes tepodiate. I might salt to witness the repealed
sabseqem remonstrances of Count Gaped !Istria; who
was the teprematative of Ruda in drawing up that
guarantee. But he was an lonian, and it might be said,
however high his eliarecter, would he, from hie pert*
iim, not an impartial witness. I will, thorefers,
Ming to beer on this important point, the unques-
tionable testimony of historical documents, and prove
that when your lordship tells the House of Onmeles
that "it may he all very well to talk of seastibs-
