concurrence in such doctrine on the part of his Ma.
jesty's Government.. Nevertheless, this paper had
the Arndency and the effect of unsheathing the dagger
of the assassin. Of this effect, indeed, there could
be so doubt, as had been argued by the writer allnd-
,ed to, who had even had the hardihood to name the
persons who were fit to do the work, calling into the
aid of his recommendation this reported declaration
from Congress, which, if words were to he interpret-
ed according to their natural import, did unquestion-
; ably hold out a defence for assassination. Were
Ministers then prepared to abide by and justify such
an extr.tordinary document ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, that Ministers had in no degree departed, or
were willing t i depart, from the principles of Mr.
Perceval, or the sentiments of Lord Wellesley, on the
occasion alluded to by the Honourable Member, but
the nam:s annexed to this paper, if it were authentic,
afforded ample pledge that nothing inconsistent with
'what was loyal, honourable, and proper. could have
teal intended by it.—(Loud ones of Mar, hear, on
I- the Ministerial i3enchcs.)
Mi.. WHITBREAD asked then, whether the
Right Han. Gentleman meant to express a doubt of
the authenticity of this paper ?—for there seemed
something consolatory in his parenthesis, 44 it it were
authentic." Here the Honourable Gentleman ad-
verted to some muttering on the Minisre;ial Benches,
observing that the Right Hon. Gentlem la cnold
speak for himself without being influenced by the
half-articulate sounds of those whn meant, vo doubt,
to shew a great deal of wisdom in their private hints,
although when they addressed the House they never
happened to manifest any wisdom whatever. The
Hon. Member cqncluded with repeating his question,
whether the paper alluded to was deemed authentic
by
.Ministers
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
answered, that he would not be understood to say
that that paper wig, disavowed by his Majesty's Go-
vernment.

The Motion fcr postponing the Committee of
Supply was agreed to.
The Committee of Ways and Means was postpon-
ed to Wednesday.
Mr. WHITBREAD again rose.---g, In the course
of what the Right Hon. Gentleman has said, tlw has
thrown a doubt on the authenticity of this infamous
paper.. He has informed ns that his Majesty's Mini-
sters are parties to nothing but what is just, honour-
able, and loyal, Does he mean to say that there is
nothing in that paper but what is liberal, honourable,
loyal, and proper?—(Hear, hear.)—Now I wish to
know, whether it is the intention of his Majesty's
Ministers, among other communications, to make a
communication of that document, together with the
authority given to the Duke of Wellington, and
Lards Cathcart, Clancarty, and Stewart, ter the
signing it at Vienna r'—(Hear, hear.)
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER.
" I wit: oot ciitt. into all these topics-1 will only
say, that them is nothing in the Declaration which
countounces the iloctrine of assassinatiun."

Mr. Wi-lITEREAD.—s, Will the Right Hon.
Geatieman state the grounds on which he believes
;hat papor tAk ht: ;:taltentic ? or will Le communicate
to the whether he conuiders it to be a forgery

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
did not rettu'n an answer.—The motion was immedi-
ately carried, and ttte Honst! adjourned.
