PROVINCIAL JOURNALS.

A s.the Morning Chronicle day after day attempts to

defend the indefensible Speech of Mr. BROUGHAM
on the last day of the Parliamentary Session, we
shall avail ourselves of the following brief,but pithy
and pointed, remarks on that Speech taken from
The Correspondent of the Isth inst. a Newspaper
of Dublin, to the loyalty and good sense of which
we have been often indebted. We believe that
the public will consider these remarks is much
more truly descriptive of the Speech' in question
than'all the laboured sophistry of The Morning
Chronicle

" The close of the Session was made remark-
able by a motion of Mr. Brougham's, which swept
together all the cams and common-places that
have distutbed the heads of the populace for so
long a time—and which drove into a corner a
rabble of ragged arguments, that owed their pre-
tensions, not to their intrinsic value, but to their
number and factious predominance. It was still more
remarkable, and infinitely more interesting, for
the flagellation which this Gentleman endnred
from Lord Castlereagh and Mr. Canning, which
transcended any instance of Parliamentary casti-
gation that is on record. The attempt to open,
on the last day of the Session, a map of accusation,-
affecting to trace out distant delinquency and re-
"note Malfeasance, and colouring the outlines of
past events with criminal distinctions—to explain
which, with common justice, or to oppose
which, with the bare privilege whi6h those
accused have, a right to 'claim, would .• take up
the whole of the longest period for which any
Constitutional Parliament was ever known 'to
sit—
can neither be excused by any example, orjus-
tified by any strokeof policy, heretofore practised
by n tacticians in Parliamentary warfare. Such a
speech, so crowded with criminal allegations
• against the conduct of the Goveroment—so atntn-
dant•in enormous tonics—so oppressed with the
quantity of its outrageous imputations—and made
upon the last business day of a Session, never
could have been designed to answer any manly,
candid, or public-spirited purpose, or to, have
been intended courageously for any encounter with
circumstances, proofs, or arguments. It was an
explosion for the very noise sake, as to its politi-
cal effect; and if it partook of any thing of a
complexional or personal cause,. it could only be
considered as a desperate issue of the very worst
political bile which could be secreted by a thitish
Member of Parlfament—provoked by no circutu-
Stance—stirred up by no adventitious excite-
