was nothiug, however, in the mews before the Howie to
warrant the inference of any wish for mugs powers on the
part of that Noble Lord. It appealed to loin highly im-
proper to concede not only such powers es glom Acts, con-
veyed, but any increase of power whatever to the Crown, on
the mere demand of a Minister. Hr confessed also that he was
by no useitasdisposed to agree with those who would connate
to grant those powers to the Noble Marquis merely because
he wished to have them. The view and activity of toted
and character which distinguished Lord Wellesley—marled
him out am a person precisely of that kind that would be
must likely to wish for the posaersiun of dreputic power.
'The brilliant career of his former government would tend to
confirm that disposition, and therefine hr should not feel
inclined togrent him curb tomer merely on the ground of
hid wislibig for it. He hail examined tutu the conduct of
Lord Wellesley during the career of Lis former govern-

Neither could hr on the mere rimiest of the Marquis Wel-
hairy, which was the only ground fairly urged, consent to
grant siezli a power to him. The Nettle Lord upponte had
urged in support of this Act, that it was drawn up by •
Itsght Hon. and Learned Gentleman not now present (Mr.
Plunk, ti) who bad lately joined )))) ; but though
he bail fr. quest ly heard him speak Ise that House with the
'num brilliant, glowing, and energetic power of eloquence,
he could not but recollect that he had heard hiin, when
supporting the Catholic Claims, define liberty to he " the
power by which people were enabled to do that wlneh the
law allowed them.' That deliottion would prove the people
of Turkey to be a free people. Ile could not but recollect
also flint when supporting the six Acts, that Learned Gen.
tleman told them Hume Acts were necessary, because the
people were become too well inflovned. He had now to
deal with the unfortunate people of Ireland, whose greatest
crime seemed to be their Jew/ranee, and he now asked fur
