man nature to presume; that it could direct the
bark rightly ; it Irma sufficient if the pilot could
say, that his intentions were good, and that he tusk •
for the object of his course, the Constitution ut hid
country. (Appian:es.) He spoke iu high terms
of Parbatneutary Reform, and expressed a hope,
that much of his life as was paned, hr would yet
live to see that object attained. He agreed with
their able and eloquent Chairman, in etl he had
avowed. He said, that these who had dedicated
their lives to the public seriice, were deserving
of public gratitude ; cud, upon this ground, Srr
Francis Burdett was highly entitled to their
thanks. The toast of the housebreakers had
also met with his decided appi.obation. As to
the privileges of the House of Commons, they
were given for the protection of the people, and
not to be used sgsinst them. They should be
cautious how, in taking the privileges 'from bad
men. they would take from good men tha power of
benefiting the country ; how they would prevent their
Representatives, in tones which he hoped lie would
see, when the Representative and the Constituent
were more completely identified, from opportuni-
ties of performing those acts which it was the benefit
of ell to have rerformed. If, upon investigation, it
was found that their privileges were too grew for the
day in which they lived, or for that palladium
of liberty, the trial by jury, they should be relin-
quish.d. He eipteistred his opinion entirely in
favour of the ciente of Mr. John Cale Jones. and
represented the conduct of Mr. Yorke as improper
sad iintte.ile. If the production was a libel, it
ought to have been tried in a court, and by a
jury. He was free to say it was no libel. He
iiiiisted strongly upou the necessity of Path.-
mentary Return., which he considered neceiwar!, for
the security of their rights ; and he hoped, at a fu-
ture day, to niece the Liiery of London, when
they could say that they had to try the expci.-
anent. and to decide uiton its consequences.

Mr. IV•trUM in said, he believed that thry had
done honour to most. if nut to all of those who'had
elated throw: its in the Clotimons' How* of Par-
liament. He was sure that they knew they were
Most grossly misrepresented to that Honourable
!louse, and the ctreutostanee of their misrepresent •
ation, was a derided proof that there was something
grossly wrong in the constitution of Parliameut.
After all the attempts to improve toss, he knew of no
redress of grievances which lied tuken place in conse-
quence. If it was their object to redeem their elm.
meter wish the pablie, they should .trl a Itttle
more acoording to the public opinion, and the
public interest. He thought it very extraordinary,
that after all the petitions which had betty present-
ed, the House of Commons should exclude strangers
from the gallery. The Individuals wiiohod proposed
it, seemed to have calculated little upon Its results.
The Howse of Colonials should have considered its
own character before it made the comnlaint. It
was common to call upon the people to exert
themselves in loingiire shout a change of Nflutse
ters; but what was a change of Ministers, if a
change of principle did not take place Au Hou.
Gentleman near him had brought forth a intasure
which they ought to support. and had supported it.
It had been declared to have been as public as noon-
day ; yet that publicity hid not been *laciest' to
establish it effectually. It appeared in evety report
of the debates, that both parties represented each
other as the greatest scoundrels we existence ;
one party said, that the other ought to be turned
out ; while the other exclaimed. see how the public
despise you ; they were in fact like roan and wife ;
they attacked each other with the utmost vindenee
and animosity until a strauger appeared, but then
they %salted to oppose that stranger.
