really, however, am quite at a lots to ditetuversehe grounds
upon which he aim, that those disturbances had their
origin in the cause which. he assigns. I urn unable to
comprehend why such causes should have affeeted Kent at
all, pod, having done so, why their operation shoulti be

in all respects contrary to all that we have ever known
of the English character. Nor art they occasioned
by the occurrence, in a neighbouring nation, to
which the Noble Marquis has referred. The next
topic to which I shall allude respects the profes-
sions of economy contained in the Speech of this day.
Of these prof' redone) I must say, that they are inva-
riably made in Speeches from the Throne. hut I hope that
on the present occasion at least, they will be carried into
effect. I trust that the relief which it in intended to give
will be such as to remove the pressure of those taxer,
which are at the same time the most severely felt arid the
least productive. Allusion Las been made to what was
done in the last Session of Parliament. For those mr.t.
sures of relief; as far tot they went, I give his Majesty's
Ministers foil credit; although I 110 not think that the
taxes repealed were thus* of which the pressure was the
most general. But its another respect this repeal hes been
productive of good.. In the expellee of their collection
the saving has been as great as in the productive amount

have been afforded by the repeal of other taxes ; though I
have no doubt that what has beta done was shunt with the
beat intentions. What I now look for in a still father te-
duction.—(Cheen.)—l do tint, however, think this a time
to discuss such a proposition an that brought forwerd.by
the Noble Lord on the croft-bench, respecting a different
mode of telethon If the Noble Lord means to propose
a Property Tax, it will be my duty to give the most de-
cided opposition to such a tax. On another occasions
shall have an opportunity of pointing out such Gamins
by their repeal, would at the same time afford the most
general relief, and diminish to the greatest eument the
expences of collection. As to the nteesuree recommended
by his Majesty to the consideration of Pat liatnent —namely,
the appointment of a Regency—it is one which I, in com-
mon with other Noble Lord*, urged your Lordships to
consider in the last Session. • Of that measure I have now
nothing to say, but that I entirely concur in the recom-
mendation contained in his Majesty's Speech, and 1 have
no objection to make to the mower in which it hoe been
introduced; I can have no wish but that au arrangement
may be made that will insure on the one hand the unity
and efficiency of the Government during the minotity of
the successor to the Throne, and on the other band the
safe succession of the tninor. With respect to the nest
topic alluded to, I have no objection to consider• it, as re-
commended by the Noble Movie who introducel the
Address. It is ti ue, as the Noble Marquis has stated,
that the Speech is understood to contain the emstinienta of
his Majesty's Ministers. I ant also willing to consider the
recommendation as to the hereditary revetsuee ofthe Crown
as the act of his Majesty himself; and I will also give his
Majesty's Ministers credit hit their readiness to bring fee-
wattl such meesure* as are tom likely to contribute to the
prosperity of the empire anti to the security of the Grown.
13ut, my Lords, from the way in which the Noble Met..
quit) has stated the twitter, it would appear that he sup-
poses timed revenues to be the private proptitty of the
CroWn. Against any such construction it is my duty to
protest. Those revenues were originally given to enable
his Majesty to carry on the Governmeet of the couutry
with dignity acid effect ; .end"Pailiament, in contributing
to the expenses of the Civil Lid, is botind ottly to grant
so much as may supply the deficiency of those other
sources of revenue. 4y Lords, 1 ,oust also 'Rude to
that part of the Speech from the Throne ill which our
doubtful relations with other Pawns are spoken of. 1
agree with the Noble Lord on the creattsherivit (Lord
Farnham) as to the necessity of preporolions ; but. I do
not agree with hint in supposing that there is any neces-
sity fur Parliament to consider preparation. fur taking up
arms. My Lords, you Ilea the danger around you---the
