the circumstatti es under which England had tiikeu
military possession of Sicily, with r view 4;heck-
ing the militery aggressions of France in that
quarter. That military occupation had no refer-
mice to the happiness or constitution of Sicily, but
only to securing the dominions of the King of
Sicily. True it was that to time of war, doriug
the occupation of Sicily by Great Broom, a smug
interference was necessary to keep the constitution
at work, and do that which Was neccessary to carry-

thus on the transaction itself, and really looking at the
transaction, not indeed with the microscopic eye of mistily-
lional criticism, it did not appear to him there was any thing
' its the change which had taken place that could lend to
"diminish the dignity, to lessen the comforts, or destroy the
prosperity of the people. It might be that his ear had been
deadened by the sound of " 1111116116. bet he thought he dis-
covered some lurking disposition on the part of the Sicilians
to effect sit onion. This union bad been effected, an union
too similar in principle to the Scotch union, whereby the
people bad an opportunity of taking all their own country

empire at large.—( fieor, hear, and a latigh.)—And he moat
my, that he did not feel the slightest appreheesion that the
Sicilian people would suffer by the able and powerful aego-
ciation of the Noble Lord, nor did lie entertain the slightest
fears that the country would be worse g d ender the
new system than the old. The Noble Lord (Bentiuck) had
borne a splendid testimony to one fact, that under the sew
system all feudal rights bad been abolished. The question
then was, whether there was any thing in the change so de.
strut-five to all that weedear to Sicilians, which produced a
slate of things under which the most oppressive of all th.ir
grievances, the feiidal system, had beets abolished? They
now possessed a Corporation, a regular Cuenca, and all the
facilities and aecommodattoes which such • Constitution

mind, or the minds of his Majesty's that

of interfering if circuited bad occurred to render
such a course etc y. The Noble Lord was the only
person to whose mind soy animadversion bad suggested
itself, soil that after a period of five years, after the cessation
of that system to which his observations referred. They
had taken every wise precaution which every wise British
• Allender amid do consistently with the character of the
country. It was not enough to come there and tell him that
as iadividual lad suffered, but he contended that so cir-
, eunrstanee had occurred of a size and nature to warrant in-
terference. Nothing but a course of unjust and oppressive
conduct could justify It ; bet so far from that, they had the
'uninterrupted silts .e of the whole country as a proof of the
• contrary. They had besides the report of their British Mi.
nister, that the conduct of the Neapolitan Giveratneul to-
wards the Srcilian■ was as pod as could be expected.
Under all the circumstances, there appeared nothing in his
mind that could justify Alluisters in putting their reserve
into exesirtiou.—(fleaf, aar.)

the Parliament. Bet there was a coroner rename—the false
and fraudulent concealment of that secret Treaty on the
part uf the Neapolitan Ministers. Did they consider this
Treaty binding? if so, they were bound to establiah des.

enemy who were actually bound to destroy the Constitution ?

the 14th, the secret Treaty was signed, and they and the other
parties to ibis flagitious enpaeniesit concealed the stipula-

arisen to tlw Austrian power; but the Congiess of Layhaeb

be assurid of it. If there were any thing improper in the
Production of these papers, he errtainly should out piers for
