—it would merely go the length of expressing ad-
titration of the groat and noble conduct by which
the people of Paris established, upon an indestruc-
tible haste, the principles of civil and religious; liberty.
—(Neer, hear.) It would be an interference if Go-
vernments were to coalesce for the purpose of main-
' taining despotism. The direct and armed and forcible
proceedings of it Government might be deemed a
national interference, but the mere expression of
opinion on the part, of the Corporation of London
—the mere declaration of good will from a body of
men representing the inhabitants of this metropolis
—did not, aceording.to any legitimate application
of the terms, come within the scope and meaning
of interference in foreign affairs. The act of the
Government he should conceive to be an interference
—that which he meant to propose was perfeely in-
nocent of interference. He would repeat that what
they were about to do—for he took for granted that
his resolutions would be agreed toss-(A laugh).-4as
nothing more than expressing a cordial and kind
fieling towards the Municipality of Paris, and ex.
pressive olthe deep gratitude which could net fail
to animate the hearts of men cherishing the !prin-
ciples Of freedom towards those who laboured so
laudebly, io suecessfully, and amidst so much
danger, in the, gteat cause of humanity. It was
well known that there was a sort of sociality
amongst Ministers, and amongst GovertiMents, and
amongst
.the several.Aristocreeies of different na-
tions--a sort of ,Freetetsionry passed current amongst
them ; and, as evidence of good. feeling, and a sup-
posed community of ipterest, orders, ribands, gar-
triri,''&c., passed from one to the other. Were
they, then, to be told that the people had no means
by which they could express their feelings towards
each other ? Yes, there were means within the
reach of the people ; and the enemies of freedom
might rest assured, that of those means the people
would avail themselves. They might rest assured
'that the Mende of freedoin would not stand aloof
' , ' 'from each other on the, one bind,. while the Minis.
' lers'Of despotiern were exchanging tokens of amity,
arid incitements to mutual assistance on the other.—
' Itieas pettedly well known that the English Court
• **cited the other Courts of Europe to unite with it
in the year 1915, to keep down the democratic
spirit in Europe. But the whole work of that
period was now undone by the glorious efforts of a
great people, who had taught this great lesson to
their rulers-to the rest of the world--,-to all man-
kind-and to remotest posterity--that the few were
made for the many, and not the many for the few.--;
When the Bourbon finirdiy were' restored, they
were so restored Upon the express agreement that
the people should receive a Charter of their liber-
ties. With an army of their supporters at the gates
of Paris, they (the Bourbons) told the people the
Charter which they, gave proceeded entirely from
their own fiee-will—their own good intentions—and
of course the inference was obviously intended to be
conveyed that those who gave might also take away.
A Constitutional Charter was given, and such us it
was, and. administered' us it was, the people hie-
proved under it, and 'advanced in, knowledge
and a ' just appreciation of their rights, and
in a determination to! assert them more de-
cidedly when a fitting opportunity offered.—
' The Bourbons' remained in, their previous ig-
now* and their. maxims of Government in the
year 'lBllO were those which belonged to' the reign
! , of Louie XIV; ' The people were not to be kept
down by such a system. ' The Revolution which
- ' they were then met tb commemorate put an end to
,s. if: .It a ReVeletion ehequalled in the annals Of
' thi'worldtlie,page of
_history could show nothing
so compare with it. Whil Wallthe immediate agency
'try which it Was brought ebriut?---A juggle, is farce,
syse4plieed, Ministers,Were.to get up a report which
Was tp, be made to!thi Government 'on the state of
the' Press---it was ' to - be announced,' forsooth, that
'the Press was working it revolution; down put the
press at any hezeril,` Wes the cry ; the election of
Deputies by the Departments was to be declared
null .and void. Was there u man in'Englandwas
there a man who had ever known what it was to
live wider a Constitutional Government, who could
for it moment 'hesitate es to what ought to have been
the conduct of the people of Paris during the late
crisis'? By the celebrated Ordonnance of the 2.5 th.
of July the cry for puffing dein the Press was
raised, and the Chamber of Deputies of the Depart-
ments was dissolved, and the Ministers of Charles X..
acted upon 'principles which belonged to the *v..
Ants century. On that great occasion the Press
proved themselves ' to be the glory of the country.
Tire Press of France resolved that they would not
• 'be' put dOwn. The Press would be a glory to
France as lung us it lived, and be hoped that (hp
' Press would live for ever. It was thus that the
Government lost its legal character, and by its own
criminality abiolvedevery subject under it from its
allegiance. On'tliti 2611), 27th, 28th, and 29th of
July, events took place which in all time coming
' will supersede the necessity of referring to classical
story for examples of glorious daring and selfalevo-
\ tion, and brilliant examles for the imitation of man-
kind. Yes, the unwashed artificers of Paris effect-
' ing the overthrow of a powerful and consolidated
despotism ; and in the first flush of victory, with the
widows and orphans of their bleeding comrades weep-
;rig aroand them, with their feelings wrought lip to the
highest pitch, did thee° men prove that they were
fit for liberty—did they not show that in the midst
o/ such excitements to passion they were still under
the influent:a of reason—did they not illustrate in a
manner the meat noble the great Christian maxim
" love your enemies r When they overcame the
SVOSS Guards what more 111(1 they do titan disarm
them ? . They treated the soldiers as wise' men
treated childrenthey pia it out of their power to
rio mischief. To such conduct was that the Court
to refuse praise—was that the Court to negative the
Resolutions which he intended to propose ? lie
could not conceive how any voices could be raised
against them.---(A laugh.)-Would they oppose
them ? Was there one man there who would refuse
his thanks to these dear men?--•(A laugh.)—Yes,
be celled theirs desastrien-4they were the dear friends
of liberty all over the world—they were the pro-
: teeters of civil istrit religious liberty; and all who were
in possession of those blessings ought to embrace
such Men as friends wherever they were to be found.
What was the conduct of the King in the cir-
cumstances to width 'he bad been alluding ? Wey
the King was bunting •At St. Cloud at the very
time when the troops and' tho citizens of Paris
were claming their hairdo iti eaels other's bleed—
ouch was his conduct ; hut Nero fiddled while Rome
burned.—(Hear.)— When be reflected opop all
these eonsideretions, he felt ;no apprehension for
the fate of his resolutions ; they could not refuse
their assent to them ; if they wished to support
the Government of the .cuuntrys—if they wished to
support the Duke of Wellington, who wee the bead
of that Governmeet, they wield agree to 116 reso-
lutions. Who was the foremost to recognise
Loubs-Phillipe I. as King of the Prencleas-the King;
and his Mivesty roust have done that important act
' by the *Assets of his Mieisterte—therefore there was
no member of the Common Council who could call
himself a friend or supporter of his Miljestyle Gr ~
