The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not
wish to interfere with any discussion which the House
1a ght.think proper to raise, on going into Cornmit,co of
bupply next Monday, with reg•trd to the conduct of
the Government, but he did not wish any misconc,.ption
unnecessarily to continue on a seit,:tt of some import-
ance, and he wished now to enter into some explana-
tion • upon the subject to which the Noble
Lord had just adverted.—(Cheers.) From his
acquaintance with the views and opinions of
the First Minister of the Crown, he had no hesitation
in saying, without waiting until Monday, that a very great
misconception had existed during the last two or three
days as to the intention of the First Minister, and that
he certainly never intended in any way to convey any
meaning to the House or the country that his opinions
on the subject of a dissolution of Parliament
were in the slightest degree changed ([Tear,
Lear)—and that it was now, as it was formerly,
the intention of the Government, so soon as
those measures were passed which were necessary for the
service of her Majesty and what they considered the
security and good government of the realm, humbly to
Counsel her Majesty to dissolve the existing Parliament
hear)—and they would do so with the full in-
tention of recommending her Majesty to meet the new
Parliament during the course of the present year, under
circumstances which would give an ample and complete
opportunity to the new Parliament to decide on the
. character and policy of the existing Government. lie
thoughtthatwas all they could say.—( Ministerial cheers )
They.never for a moment hesitated in that intention.
—(Hear, hear.) As for any Government pledging
themselves to recommend a dissolution of Par-
liament at a specific period, ha was sure
that no person or Member who had ever been a
servant of her Majesty would approve of such a course.
It was impossible to say the particular hour, thy, or
• week, or even month, at which they would pledge
themselves to recommend a dissolution--(Elear.) Cir-
cumstances, as he had said before, might render
impolitic if not impossible the fulfilment of
such an undertaking. All he said was, that
after the business which they deemed absolutely
necessary and indispensable bad been terminated, they
should humbly recommend her Majesty to dissolve the
present , Parliament—(Cheers from the Govern-
ment benches)—and as he wished no misconcep-
tion to exist on the subject, he should add,
with the full intention of recommending her Majesty to
snmmon the new Parliament during the present year.
—(Hear, hear.) Of course he meant a bond fide sit-
ting, so that the policy of the Government might
be decided upon. He now only repeated what
he had previously attempted to convey to the House,
and what he was sure was the intention of the First
Minister to communicate in another place. These were
the decisions and intentions they always had; and after
thedeolarstions which were made he should not have
thought it was necessary to repeat them again to the
House.—(Loud Ministerial cheers.)
Mr. HUME thought the statement of the Right Hon.
Gentleman would be satisfactory to all parties, and
suggested, in order that no further doubt might bo
entertained, that he should state what were the
Measures the Government deemed necessary.—(Hear.)
The motion for adjournment until Monday was then
agreed to.
