eine anxious as he had always been on public °tea-
-5)005 to meet the people, of whom he agreed with
their two honouoahle and worthy Representatives
to being proud to he one, yet never had lie felt PO
:ouch so, and never had he been so anxious to ad.
deem them as he felt on this occasion, to thank
them for the glorious stand they had made in be.
half of an accused and innocent woman, and that
%woman their Queen.—(Load applause.)—.
Tit congratulated them on the defeat of the Bill
against her Majesty; that measure, whose effect
would have beets to crush the liberties of the courts
"iff. With respect to the innocence of the Quern,
het opinion w 55 the same as in the outset. He had,
ea the first intimation of the late procecding.
Wised his vuire against it, as insulting to the Queen
and to the country.—(4ppfatere.)s—The Ministers,
y their conduct nit the itectsoi 1111 l had brought them-
...tura into this dilemma. from which he sincerely
riptried they might 'weer he allowed to extricate them-
selves. If they believed even but • thousandth part of
%hese filthy details which had been vomited forth up-
tau the country, creating horror and disgust wherever
Ow/ reacted—if they were capable of resting such
a belief on no better foundatiou than the deposi-
tions of those witnesses whom they bad brought
torwatil, they were too weak to be trusted with the
administration of the affans of this nation,—(Load
“pplauve.)—And if, on the other hand, they be-
::eyed it not, their case was still more aggravated.
tot what could then he said io extenuation of the
guilt of such an insult to the dignity of the
Qesen and the nation—such an outrage upon
carry decent feeling—such a gross and wanton
zsusapplication and waste of the resources of an op-
oressed arid impoverished nation ?—( etipplualse.)—
He therefore lilt it to he the duty of every man to
step forward, and erll fur the puoiehment of the
authors of those proceedings.—(Loud applause.)—
Hrving said thus much, and hoping anti believing
!net he possessed sonic character among them,
although anxious rather to avoid than to incur their
efts...tire, ha trusted they would allow him to say
that he could slot help differilig with them in opt-
on the subject of several passages in the Ad.
titres which they bud voted to the Qu. n. There
were psrill of it in which lie could not concur, and
tee trusted they would not think the worse of him
tut •vowing it, nft he felt himself boun:l in honour
:o do.—/ Loud applause.)—With re•pect to the
Petition to the King, let them only reflect on the
situation of the comitry. But a few rears hack the
own [low iu poser hail foujid the motion in a thriv.
tug state—and to what had they retlit,ed it ? They
/aid annihilated its commerce, ruined its maitufac-
three, desttoyeil its agriculture, wa..teil its trea-
+iota. and exhausted its resourres.—(ripplunse.)—
Iney had had the labour of our hand., the sweat
sat oar brows. nod the Wood of our veins; and if
recollecting what the country once was, they but
how loultial tirotind them and beheld what they had
/mole tt, they would hardly know it to be England.
He begged leave 'it say a few words resio.cting the
prayer for the dismissal of Nliiii.rers. lie was well
heat,' that when men of public chnuctrr and ata-
',e; expressed any desire to see Nlinisters re-
moved from office, it was very general to im-
pute their wishes to some titivate motives
or person's! expectations. But lie most say
that be could hurdler imagine any thing so lit-
tle to be desired, so Ito from enviable, iii fact so
much to be dreaded, as at the present moment to
be made a Minister, or called nn to till any vuls!io
etiftcial station. When lie looked at them 1111 l ruse

tered, lie could see but little that was inviting io
t6r ptCaTel't of a Minister, who should, up'.n taking
edict.. pledge himself to the cause of Reform; anal
%et he agreed with them in thinking, that any man
v.:if) hereafter would not, on taking office, came
and give a pledge of his support of a
Refrain of Parliament, never would have, nor
ceuld lie expect, tier lie to have, the
support 1.1 the people.—/Loud applause.)—
As d wheal he considered the state of affans, he
t::ast think the WHO would be matt who would ems
