to others. Proceeding on that principle, he did not think
he could be much in, the wrong. He would do unto others
ac he wished to be done unto himself. That was his
principle. He feared- God, honoured the King, and loved
his country. He thought he could not I,e very wean in
thus acting. He mot say it few words with respect to
the Noble E►rl at the head of the. Government He be-
lieved that Noble Earl to be a man of high talent and
character. lb had no doubt that the Noble Earl Would
do rightly in his present situation, and would justify the
King's choice. He felt towards that Noble Earl' a

great degree of confidence, and be believed that -tha

Noble Earl bad it in his power to benefit the tuition
at huge, and, if he chose, to save the country from
the dangers now impending. lie rosily believed that that
Noble Karl possessed qualities for his present situation
more than any other man he knew. He wished to' say
that he was anxious that Noble Lord should forbear for
the present to agitate that question (Reform) at alb It
could only be productive of agitation in a time of no ordi-
nary excitement. If his voice could avail.any thing in
urging the Noble Earl to any particular line of cunduel lie
should certainly urge him to abstain from discussing that
question now.. His wish wits to ore a etrong 7Goverii-
inent ; if he could see it he would give it his support to
the utmost of his power ; he eared not who were the men,
lie should Imik to their conduct. Some allusion .had been
made in: the report he had quoted to :the question - of :the
141ot; he trusted that no Ministry would eser permit any
thing an disgraceful to the character of the country. An
Englishman fought openly—he spoke -operdyoolie acted
openly—he did not insidiously, arid like an asiassin, do that
of which he was ashamed. lie hoped that the election by
ballot would be scouted by all men. If election by ballot
was adopted, there would he no common ties of feeling
between them and the other House of Parliament.—
He had stared, to the best of his abilities, the mat-
ter which he wished to bring under their Lordships'
notice; he threw himself on their consideration, aod he
trusted they would say whether he was right or wrong.
Ile grounded his complaint on the publication of a most
serious attack on his character. lie had embarked his
boat on a troubled ocean, and he left it in confidence to
their protection. He hoped that the Attorney-General,
who certainly could not justify what he lied done, might
not be permitted, as long as lie held that high office, to
take on himself to do that which was so inconsistent with
the duties'of him high office.

Earl GREY said, that as so direct a personal appeal
had been made to him, perhaps their Lordships would
expect him to say a few words on this subject. At the
Same time he must own that he felt considerable difficulty
in doing so, as he did not understand distinctly what
was the object of the Noble Duke in bringing before their
Lordships the matter now introduced to their notice;
nor did be understand 'in what way that House was to
proceed.—(Hear, hear.) He begged leave at once to
return the Noble Duke his sincere thanks, for the
Very flattering expresiions which the Noble Duke
had employed in speaking of him. The Noble Duke
had said that it was in hii power, if he chose, to save the
country—that he should choose to save it, if he had the
power, no one, he hoped,'could 'sloubt—(Hear, hear).—
and all he could say in answer to that was, that he should
use his beet endeavours and hie utmost efforts, to the full
extent of his small ability, to relieve the diaereses and
suppress the diaturbances of the country.—(Hear, hear.)
That, however, was not the tune to enter into the question
of Reform, either with respect to its general principle. or
its particular details. Neither was he called on, ti au
that occasion, to discuss the expediency of Vote by Ballot,
He might, perhaps, have strong objections to it; but till
the whole question should come before' them, when it had
received the sanction of the other House, he should not state
his opinion upon it. If it did receive the sanction of that
House, he should state the principles on which it should
have his support. On the question of Reform, be should
decline to state more than to make one obaervatioa In
answer to what the Noble Duke had said as to the
agitation which the discussion of that question might
produce. If that was his opinion, he should most ctn.
taint), be the last person to propose such a question to the
Ifousi.—(Haar.) It was because his opinion was directly
the reverse of the Noble Duke's on that point, that he
hal stated the necessity of entertaining that important
question.—(Hear, hear, hear.)—The Noble Duke had re-
ferred to his opinion. Those opinions had lung been en-
tertained by him ; they were confirmed by the experience
of his whole life; and what he had said in the beginning
of the present session had been forced from him by the
conviction th it the question of Reform could no longer be
delayed, but that it must be looked et fearlessly and fairly;
since, if it were deferred longer, hotrod of the improve-,
ment being effected cautiously and carefully within, the
change might be made from without, to an extent and in a
mariner that would carry destruction to the Constitution
hear.)—With respect to the particular oh.
Jest of the Noble Duke 'in bringing the present subject un-
der the consideration of their Lordship., he did nut know
what answer to give. He did not know in what manner
that House could interfere, especially as the Noble Duke
had not proposed it as a question 'of • privilege; for then
they might know in what way to proceed in the vindica-
tion of their privileges. l'he Noble Duke had stated that
he was alluded to, but did not limy in what manner he
sought redrew'. The Noble Duke had informed him of
this matter yesterday. He had expressed then—that
which he had now no difficulty in repeating...his deep re-
gret that such a circumstance should have occurred : and
if the Noble Duke had stated his intention of appealing to
the House, he (Lord Grey) might have been better pre..
pared with an answer. He could only say of the Attor-
ney-General that that Hun. and Learned Person was held
in the highest estimation for his abilities and learning as a
lawyer, and for his sound principles and unltlemislied isle-
grity as a man.—(Hear, hear. )—There war one point in
this matter in which the Naile Duke bad been mietakem '
The Hon. and Learned Person of whom the Duke sow
complained did not appear on the occasion igloded to as
the King's Attorney-General, but as a tatodidate for the
representation of the town of Nottingham, and he. ap-
peared there before his constituents, and addressed them
in the way he thought most conducive to the
promotion of his interests; and it must he admitted
that, if the particular words of a candidate at an election
were in all cases to be brought before that House as mats
ter of complaint, their Lurdehipe time would not be
very profitably employed. Hotvever he would say that he
did not approve of the use of the word boroughmongert ;
but he did not think that on this occasion it had been
used for the purpose of selecting an individual for a par,
sonal attack. The Noble Duke was, howerett the proper
judge of the conduct he pursued ; Gott tom atitiering the
circumstances of the day and the feelings that prevailed
throughout the country 4 the expression of which he com-
plained was nut muolt to he wondered at. lie thought
it Was to hp OtiritiOtOti to that (he would not say improper
hut uufortunate) declaration of the Nable Duke, which
.
had brought on him the strong ammativerituto of satiny
persons who do not wish to wound the feelings of the
Noble Duke personally, butt who have felt it to be
their duty to oppose thot which they considered as an
invasion of Elie freedom Of milieu in, and as CiiklaStOd
ttA 444j0 the best interests of the country. In no
oilier view of the matter could the Hoak, and Learned
Person, whom he was proud to Vat reread, have brought
the subject before the tulle, Wf Nottiughem ; and if, in
animadverting upon time Hanoureble and Learned Per-
son had used titibog expressions, the Noble Duke moat
lax kite mietatiot as a public man, to being made the tub-
ent of observation and censute, and to be retwelterided by
those who thought that he wits 1004 hi his view of
questions of pithilo policy. Nettie Duke had stated
that Ite had applied to the Otto. toad Learned Penton for

as (till of legal iinituaitits. If they were, competent to'
