The Debatc of last night in the House of Com-

mons, if it Mina other way tended to the credit
of the Party, may, at least, be fairly said to have
proved their consistency. Their measures, through ,
the whole of the Session, tended to obstruct the
business of the Nation, and to embarrass Ministers
in the discharge of their duty, and Mr. Baoucttam,
last night, seemed to be determined that the
wind-up Of the Party career should fully accord
with its progress. He came forward with the
avowed intetition of proposing au Address to the
PRINCE REGENT on THE STATE Or THE NATION,
but he wandered into so many topics, foreign and
domestic, that he seemed entirely to have lost
sight of his original design. The truth is, that
the Honourable Gentleman evidently wanted to
make a long speech, as the Session was on the eve
of couclusion, and as his tongue would conse-
quently be doomed to many months of obscure
and painful silence. He .seemed, like Don Juan,
resolved-to go off in a flash offire, and, unfortu-
nately-, the fires which he drew-upon himself were
as likely to destroy his reputation as a •PolitiCian as
those of another kind, which are supposed to de-
stroy the body of The Libertine—With this dif-
ference, however, that Mr. Baovonass's political
character was destroyed by Good, not Evil, Sviiits,
for the Spirits which Mr. BROUGHAM brought into
action against himself were those who hare pre-
served the Country from Spirits of a very ditrereut
description ,and more io favour with the Pala'. l lit
Mr. BROUGHAM was not the only person whose
credit suffered on this occasion, for Sir FItANCIS
BURDETT also appeared to as little advantage as his
Brother Reformer. They both thought proper to
convert a Motion on The State of the Nation
into personal attacks upon absent individuals,
who seem only to have provoked their vengeance
by having served the country.. Mr. REYNoL.DS, of
whom we know nothing hot his public conduct,
had been engaged in a Reforming Association in
Ireland, but finding that his associates were not
for Reform, but Subversion, he retreated in time,
and gave such information to Government us
pity secured the country front Rebellion and fo-
reign itivasicits. This person has been represented
' as a low indigent man, but it seems that he is related
to some of the first families in Ireland, and has
always been -a man of property. Another of the
individuals, attacked by the Puttiotic Gentiai, Mr.
BROUGHAM tend Sir FRANCIS, wits Mr. GeoRGU
