Which implied censure upon the Government, encourag-

linvg„ the Power and influence of this country to protect the

i„ owes te him for so

tete involved principally by the vacillating conduct of a sec-
on of the party now opposed to him, I do not intend to aban-
don my advocacy of those measures of administrative reform
and social and political progress which the welfare of the
l'eonle so urgently demands.
I look back with satisfaction to the successful result of the
drat Meeting (over which I presided) for the Repeal of the
Sr Income Tax. By economy and retrenchment the re-
;ainder•of this iniquitous impost may be soon extinguished,
but, at all events, it should be placed upon a more equitable
Lotindation, as between property and income.
I felt myself bound to vote against the continuance of the
increase-I rate of duty on tea, because it seemed to me unjust
to the trader, who had reason to rely upon its diminution, ac-

authorities that the scale of reduction would take effect in

IN THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF
WESTMINSTER.

GRVI'LENEN,
the
Dissolution has been rather more hastily resolved on, in
raidst of the Session and season, than in my humble opi-
i_the real interests of the country required. As, however,
ha °" no part whatever iu its supposed cause, it is not, per-
t; for me to offer opinions on the subject.
di,.nt a few brief expressions from one or two of the most
imuenguished supporters of Government may possibly be al-
Op' 11 tc, illustrative off the extraordinary diversities of
Onon
on this most vexed question. The Right Honourable
s‘uWard Ellice addressing his constituents, says that be does
not approve
and sincerely laments" the extreme measures
at rted to in Chin% " That reprisals should in the first
ance have been taken, and the ulterior course reserved for the
determinationh of the Government in England ; that the question
via generrl hostilities should have been reserved for higher au-
iti:/tY. It would seem (ho says) full time that this practice of
pi.;°.7ing the country in wars in the East, except uuder the
--s'og necessities of self-defence, should be brought more
_
directly under the control of Parliament."
And who is Mr. Ellice, 'who gives these' formidable reasons
Itgainst his own vote Undoubtedly one of the ablest, roost
1,1D3.,ef.n1, and, I would almost add, most illustrious of the Whig
"rry—an ex-Whig Minister.
I have of
I may admire him, you know very well that
"lave t the honour of being considered a Whig, and that
am certainly neither an ox nor a future Minister.
Again, Sir William Clay, also on this occasion on tine side
°I Ministers, says to his immense constituency, which he so
ably represents :—" The question whence has arisen tho sup-
Posed necessity for a disc elution, was one of the most diffi-
cult I have ever known submitted to the decision of the
nOuse of Commons—one on which it was impossible to give
;by vote without anxiety and doubt."
But being myself im pressed with a strong feeling on the
matter, believing that a mistaken opinion had arisen upon it,
what must my doubts and perplexities have been—earnestly
urged, as I eventually was, by three sots of old and valued
friends, of vehemently different views—the one requesting
toy approval, the other my disapproval, of these Chinese pro-
ceedings on so questionable an affair 1 I had already resolved
On the latter course; thus at least avoiding a violation of my

thousand•troops are about to be despatched to the scene of

solution, and an enorme,us quantity of oratory.
