Mr. MAGUIRE said the present deputation had
been arranged in the House of Commons last night,
and that it did not represent any particular
party. It was thought that the execution of
Burke would be fraught with the greatest dan-
ger to the peace of Ireland, and therefore it
was the unanimous desire of the deputation that
the clemency of the Crown might be extended to
hm, which would, it was thought, be fraught
with the best results in Ireland.
Mr. POTTER said a very strong feeling existed in
Manchester, and if the men were executed it would
be thought there an act of the greatest cruelty.
Mr. NEATE said the news of the intention to
to execute these men last night produced a feeling
of grief mixed with indignation, and such as would
make it difficult for the future to discuss Irish
matters in the House of Commons with the calm-
ness which it was so desirable should exist.
The O'DONOGHUE said he looked upon the pre-
sent deputation as the exponents of public opinion
both of England and Ireland, and he hoped the
views that had been placed before his lordship would
have the best effect.
Dr. BRADY said he thought if any desire existed
to preserve peace. in Ireland, the life of the con-
demned man Burke ought to be spared.
Mr. DODSON, as an English member, thought that
after what had taken place in Canada, if the sen-
tence of death was carried out, those in the coun-
try would imagine that Government looked with a
keener eye upon matters done nearer home than it
did on transactions at the other side of the At-
lantic.
Mr. FOSTER, as an English member, also strongly
urge 1 for a rernieeion of the extreme sentence of the
law. On that happy day (her Majesty's birthday)
how appropriate would the message of mercy go
forth !
Sir G. BOWYER. said, as no life had been lost
during the disturb Me; he hoped that fact would
induce the Government to advise a remission of the
extreme sentence, a coarse which would, ho was
certain, b 3 productive of the best results in Ireland.
Mr. TORRENS also strongly advised a merciful
view of the matter.
The NOBLE EARL said it was extremely painful
for him to have to discuss such a question. He
spoke then, not in his individual character, but on
the part of the Government, and it was gratifying
to hear that there was a general disclaimer to mix up
the question with that of political support. No such
considerations had influenced the Government,
and he might also state that the question of differ-
ences of religion had not for one instant been
thought of, or had any influence in the decision come
to. He did not think the case of the civil war in
America formed any analogy with the—it was
dignifying it to much to call it revolt—attempted
revolt in Ireland. The case of Burke had been
seriously and anxiously considered by the Govern-
ment, and whilst there was one party anxious for a
remission of the sentence passed o then unhappy
man there was another party who tertained
atrocious oan
tgtemfpete,lianngds thewpitehacearbegleaarnd loyal the
atrocious attempt, and the peaceable and loyal in-
habitants of Ireland would not feel that the Go-
vernment were in earnest until they, in the most
aggravated case, carried out the sentence of the
law. The matter had been weighed in the Cabinet ;
it had been considered by the Lord Lieutenant,
the Secretary for Ireland, and the Judges
who tried the case, in order to ascertain
whether there was any mitigating circumstances in
the case, and with one single exception (and that
was entirely an interposition of Providence) that
no lives had been lost, none could be discovered,
and with every desire to spare the life of the un-
happy man, it was the decided opinion of her
Majesty's Government, after a full examination of
the whole case, that it would be a dereliction of
duty if they spared the life of one who bad done the
things that Burke had been guilty of. That resolution
was arrived at after the gravest consideration and
with extreme reluctance. All he could say was
that if the gentlemen present would attach their
names to a memorial, the Council would meet this
afternoon, and he would, after expressing the
wishes of the deputation to his colleagues, present
the memorial to them. Ile could not say that it
would alter the decision that had been announced,
but he would say that it would be a great pleasure
to him to lay the paper before his colleagues.
The deputation then retired to an adjoining
apartment, vihere the memorial was signed by every
member of Parliament present, and sent to the noble
earl, as he had directed.
