REPORT ON TDB ADDRESS.
On the question that the Report be brought up,
Mr. 1-10BHOUSE said, he - could not allow the
Address to be brought up, without availing himself of
the opportunity to offer some observations to the House.
It had so long been the practice to consider the adop-
tion or the Address in answer to his Majesty's Speech,
as a mere matter of form, and that no Member, in al-
lowing it to pass, was pledged as to the vote he should
subsequently give on any subject therein embraced,
that he (Mr. Hobhouse) should think it unnecessary to
trouble the House at present, were there not matters of
the utmost importance introduced into the Address of
last night. He was sure, indeed, that there were very
few Gentlemen on his side of the House who would not
have thought it their duty to enter their solemn pro-
tests against the Address, had they in time been aware
of its nature. For, his own part, so far as he had read
or heard respecting similar Addresses, none bad ever
deserved more severe animadversion than the present.
In the very able and eloquent speech of his Honour-
able and Learned Friend (Mr. Brougham), last night,
he (Mr. Hobhouse) conceived that several topics of the
greatest moment had been left untouched, and that
many topics which had only been cursorily noticed.
Isere still deserving of the deepest attention. His Ma.
jesty's Ministers, in the Speech from the Throne, des
Glared the country to be in a state of the utmost tram•
qutl.ity and prosperity, and that relations of perfect
amity--subsisted between Great Britain and Foreign
Powers. Now, he would call upon the House to say,
whether the measures proposed in that Speech were ac-
cordant with such flatteringpromises ? If that Speech,
and the Address which echoed it, were to be believed,
when was Ireland in the same peaceful and flourishing
state as now ? and yet the first thing proposed is a
change in the penal code of that country—he might
even say of this country—striking at the dearest rights
ref the subject. Could anything be more calculated to
excite the suspicions of foreign Powers, if these suspi-
cions were of any consequence, or if the Right lion.
Gentleman opposite (Mr. Canning) were afraid of such
suspicions, which he (Mr. Hobbouse) did not believe to
be the case, than the measures now recommended to
Parliament? What more could the Right Honourable
Secretary hive done, if Ireland were ready to burst into
an open rebellion, and the Holy Alliance were marching
against as ? It was, therefore, impossible that be could
concur in the Address, and he should have expressed
his disapprobation of it last night, if the House, after the
eloquent speech of the Right Honourable Secretary fur
Foreign Affairs lad not manifested a wish to sepatate.
Many parts of that speech, however, were more spe-
cious than solid. The Right Hon. Gentleman said that
the Catholic Association was opposed to the interests of
the Catholics, and could only be supported by their ene-
mies. But if so, who in Ireland, among the Catholics,
were the dissentients? He (Mr. Hobhouse) heard of no
dissentients ; but, on the contrary, that the Catholics
were unanimous in upholding that body. He asked the
Right HonourableSecretary last night, and he repeated
the question to-day, if the Association did not speak
the sentiments and represent the feelings of the whole
Catholic population of the sister country ? Was the
Right Honourable Gentleman's word on that subject to
be taken in preference to the proofs of an opposite na-
ture daily before the Public ? Would the Right Hon.
and Learned Gentleman (Mr. Plunkett) whom his
Honourable and Learned Friend (Mr. Brougham) last
night eulogised so highly, say that the Association did
not embody the sense of the people at large? And by
the way, with respect to that Right Hon. and Learned
Gentleman, whatever his talents, he would beg to ob-
serve, that men ought, in his opinion, to be judged by their
acts, and not by their public reputation for parts—(Hear.)
It was In vain to talk of persons talents, when their
whole conduct seemed to be under the carte of folly.
The Right Honourable Gentleman never took up- any
thing Which did not fail, nor did he ever take up with
any party which was not'glad to get lid of kim. Bet
to return; so far from the Association not truly repre-
senting the Catholics of Ireland, their opinions, wishes,
apd feelings—if the public journals were to be believed
nothing could be more harmonious and universal than.
the agreement between the two. Nay, it not only re-
presented Ole Catholics of Ireland, but those of Eng•
land ; for at the most numerous meeting of English
Catholic ever ass woad, their thanks and approbation
were Toted to that body. It was certainly on, thing
to 441 that the Asioci4pou did not.reprolcat the.Catba

lies, and another to say that in the Right ,fionourabli
Secretary's mind it ought hot ws represent them. Sot,
it would ;eke more than rnerd assertion to convince him'
'(Mr. llobhouse) in apposition to facts. If the Associa.:
don did not represent the Catholics why meddle with
it? and yet such were the apprehensions inspired by mew
who were declared to possess no influence, that in his
Majesty's Speech an early and immediate resort to
means for putting them down is recommended! From
all he (Mr. Hobhouse) had heard or could collect, the
Catholics of Ireland were never so united and so zealous
in their unanimity as at present, and that was what ter-
rified the Right Honoui able Secretary opposite—
(Hear, hear)--or at least some of his friends and co-
adjutors—(Hear.) So far from the Catholic Associa-
tion being as it was described, an incubus pressing
down the energies of the people, he (Mr. Hobhouse) be-
lieved the Catholics were never before moved or sus-
pected to the same degree of activity. They had at
last :hewn an intention to sink their petty differences,
and they thus struck terror into their enemies. The
Association, however, had been called an impel-hint in
io, but were it so, even that could not obtain his
exHobhouses) unqualified sanction to the Report of
the Address being allowed to pass without observation.
How long had they not to endure Orange Lodges and
many other Associations, some of the latter of which
had not only been praised, but supported by those who
would now put down the Catholics? He for one,
thought, should the measure proposed be adopted, that
by such a penal enactment a dangerous inroad would.
be made on the Constitution and on the liberty of the
subject. He now came to another topic in the Adiress,
which had not been touched on at all last night. He
meant the augmentation in the army, in consequence
of the Burmese encroachments upon the territory of
the East India Company. It was certainly a modest
request of the Gentlemen of Leadenhall-street, that to
protect their empire the standing army of England
should be increased; and the whole excuse for that in.-
crease, stated in the Speech horn the Throne, was the
situation of India, and "other circumstances" con-
nected with our foreign possessions. Ile really must
beg some explanation of what these circumstances
were, for the Noble Lord, who so eloquently opened
the discussion last night, left the matter nearly as moth
is the dark as he found it. That Noble Lord, however,
had said, that the increase of the military establish.'
meat was not in consequence of the state of Ireland,
but alluded to some possessions not very distant from
the Mediterranean ; and he (Mr. Hobhouse) supposed
this had reference to the peat struggle now pending
between the Tusks and Greeks. No doubt it would
give the utmost and most genet a) satisfaction, if theßight
Honourable Gentleman opposite (Mr. Canning) deemed
himself strong enough in the Cabinet, or out of it, to in-
terpose in the glorious cause of Greece—of civilization
wad freedom. He (Mr. Hobhouse) had list year admitted
that many difficulties encumbered such a proceeding,bot
since that time events had occurred, which altered that -
opinion. At present, it appeared to him that much
might be urged wish reason, and probably with success,
on the Ottoman Porte, respecting the Continent and
Islands of Greece, which were now free ; and whether
the Right Honourable Gentleman looked to the Otto-
man Empire as a bulwark to our Eastern territory or
not—nothing more serviceable to the interest of that
Government or of England could o. cur than the recog-
nition of Grecian independence. It was vain, how-
ever, be feared, to flatter himself with these hopes, and
be should turn to another of the destinations pointed
out for the additional military force. The Noble Lord
Iwho moved the Address mentioned the necessity of
strengthening the army in Canada: and he (Mr. H•h•
house) had certainly beard that Ane of the individuals
who now aspired to the Presidency of the United States,
wets so hostile to England, that Canada might require
to be strengthened. He was at the same time ignorant
whether that were the fact or not.although such ig-
norance was not his fault, but the fault of Ministers,
who bad not affotded adequate information to the
.public. No one, indeed, seemed to know why the aug-
mentation took place, nor whether it was owing in any
degree to the new line of policy which had been
adopted by this country towards the Holy Alliance,
yet the people of England had a right to know the
reason of such a vast addition to our present military
force. We had now a regular army of 13,000 men—
a body of troops which, twenty years back, would have
alarmed all the constitutional jealousy of the nation, and
to that number of military a further addition was to be
made of some said ten, some fifteen, and some twenty
Ithousand men. The House, before it granted or approved
lof such a measure, bad a right to ask the purposes to
which the troops were destined, and it also had a right
to a categorical answer to the question. Was it on ac•
count of the occupation of Spain by French troops that
the augmentation took place? And here he could not
help saying, that lie was absolutely astounded not to
find the least notice of that occupation of a neutral
country in his Majesty's Speech. Pai liament bad a
right to know why the occupation was allowed to con-
tinue, or was it on that account that the army was to
be augmented? We had suffered one of our Allies
(Italy), however, to be overrun by the troops of another
of our Allies, and no increase followed that proceeding.
We allowed another Ally, Spain, to be overrun in the
same way, and still there was no talk of increasing our
military establishment. But now, because the But man
Empire attacked the East India Company, a large aug-
mentation was to be the consequence. Another topic
to which he must advert befog e concluding. He should
beg to ask the Right Honourable the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, what the expenses were to be of this aug.
mentation? although it was not to the pay of the army,
but to the army itself, that he (Mr. Hobhouse) objected.
Year after year the Chancellor of the Exchequer told
the House that taxes would be reduced, and when the
Right Honourable Gentleman did produce his plan, it
was to be hoped that in redeeming his pledge he would
take off first of all some of the dtrect taxes. Much as
he (Mr. Hobbouse) approved of a liberal system of
commercial policy, he was anxious that the working
classes should be relieved from those charges which
pressed immediately en their comfort. If, when all the
people were in easy circumstances, the restraints on
trade could be effectually removed, no measure was
more to be desired. But-at present the first thing to
inquire was, why the public burthens were to be in-
creased? Having trespassed so long on the House, he
should not object to the Report being brought up. At
the same time be did not concur in any pact of it, but
in that which related to the improvement in the re-
venue of the country, to the improvement of the great
interests of the nation, and to the improvement or his
Majesty's Ministers—(A laugh).
Mr CRESSETT EL AM said, that in allowing
the. Address to pass, he reserved the right of freely
canvassing the future measures to which it alluded.

The CHANctuon of the EXCIIEgUta had not
intended VI terrible the House ore)hei resist °coition,
nor should be now ihttude upon it obi:4e a few sniuutecs
but after the appeal Which had been made to him by the
Hon.Meinher forWnstruinster, he could not airoid rising
to offer a brief reply. The Hon. Gentleman had him-
self furnished a complete answer to his own objections I
for be set out by stating, that of late years it was tisol
peactice of the House to consider the adoption of the
Address as a matter of form, which did not involved
any Member in a specific pledge as to the course he'
should subsequently pursue. It was therefore a little
too early for the Hon. Gentleman to demand a full ex-
position of the nature and bearing of the measures
which his Majesty's Government would hereafter submit'
Ito Parliament, and before they were under considera-
-1 tion to require an explanation of the detailed motives oh
which they were founded. He said, Indeed, that when
the proper time arrived, no doubt the augmentation of
the army would be accounted for, and a statement made
ache intended reduction of taxes. It certainly should
be his (iheChancellor of theExcliequer's) duty to pursue
that course, and at an early day to call the attention of
the House to the subject.. The fullest details would
then be entered into, and he trusted to the perfect satis-
faction of Parliament and the nation. Probably it
would be more convenient to tile Hon. Member if the
explanation were now given, but he thought to others
so absurd a course would be attended with opposite
results. Yet, although he objected to go minutely into
the subject at that moment, he had no hesitation in
stating generally, that he expected to be able t 9 propose
such a further reduction of taxes as would meet the
entire approbation of the public. Last year, when some
of his plans were developed, he was told that the pro-
spect they presented was blank and dreary, and that he
inspired but faint hopes of being able to relieve the
people subsequently from any material part of their
burthens. Ile (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) bad
not ventured to meet those doubts by indulging in
any flattering prognostics of the future. He now, how-
ever, had the satisfaction to inform the Home, that the
country was in such a situation as would enable Go-
vernment to proceed steadily in the course it had hitherto
pursued, and to afford assistance to the community
as a further support to the sound principles which had
been brought into partial but successful operation. With
respect to the increase of the army, the Noble Lord who
had moved the Address bad said that Government did
not intend to apply any number of the additional troops
in Ireland. This was quite correct, for he did not
believe a single soldier more would be sent to that
country in consequence. External circumstances
called for the proposed augmentation, and when the
measure was submitted to the House by his Noble
Friend near him (Lord Palmerston), it would be ocean-
partied by every necessary explanation. The Hon.
Member had spoken lightly of the attack of theßurmese
On our empire in India, but it was in reality calculated
to produce more important effects than might strike a
casual observer. It therefore appeared to him (the
Chancellor of the Exchequer) that a more proper time
would occur for discussing the subject than the present,
.when the house merely wished to inform his Majesty,
that it would consider the measures recommended to,
Parliament. It might, however, be observed, that with
regard to the increase intended for India, it was, ac-
cording to the Hon. Member's own shewing, entitled to
li
support, for it arose from a state of war and not of
peace. As to the comparison which had been attempted
between our military establishment now and twenty
years back, he was surprised the lion. Gentleman, who
wished to take a philosophical view of things, did not
perceivethe essential difference between the extent and
situation of our foreign possessions at the two period!.
In this country, when the Government required sup-
port, it was only necessary to call upon the people, and
it was obtained ; but in the Colonies the same resort
was not acrilable. Would it not then be most impolitic
'to keep the at my establishment on too low a footing
' until the moment that danger arrived? These were a
few .of the general grounds which sufficed to warrant
, the adoption of the Address ; and afterwards the several
topics adverted to could of course undergo a minute
discussion. Before he sat dots n he should merely add,
that when the augmentation of the army would be
specifically brought before the House, the Hon. Gentle-
man, to judge from what had fallen from hfro,would be
'greatly disappointed at the increase in contemplation.
Colonel PALMER said, that notwithstanding the
speeches be had heard upon the Address, he rose with
'exactly the same feelings which he stated to the House
when last he velituted to address it, and which he must
still avow, in the face of all the praises which had since
been showered upon theGovernment,and especially upon
the Right Hon. Gentleman who had been declared to
be its brightest ornament, and -the object of the esteem
and admiration of all parties. For, it such praises had
been merited, his own opinions were as unjust and illi-
beral, and he owed it to the Right Honourable Gentle.
man, his colleagues, and himself, to defend the lan-
guage he had held, or to acknowledge his error. And,
first, as to the Right Honourable Gentleman; what had
been the ground of the unqualified applause bestowed
upon him in the last Session by Honourable and
Learned Friends, whose talents and political integrity
load given the greater weight to their opinion? The
Right Honourable Gentleman was said to have done
himself the greatest honour by the way in which he had
spoken of a gallant Member of the House, because his
language had been a severe rebuke to the Governments
who had endeavoured to degrade that gallant indivi-
dual; but if the Right Honourable Gentleman's lan-
guage had been a rebuke to other Governments, how
much greater to his own, who, in the very instance, bad
set the others the example ; nor could he help telling
i,the Right Honourable Gentleman, as he had told him
in the case of her late Majesty, that as a Minister, he
would base acted more consistently by the Crown, and
by his colleagues, as well as by the interests of the par-
ties, in defending them in the Cabinet rather than in
that House, and by making the adoption of his opinions
there, the condition of his holding office. Where, then,
in this had been the great merit of the Right Honour-
able Gentleman, or what the real difference between his
colleagues and himself, but that others had acted openly
whilst he would conceal his conduct? for, as Foreign
Minister, he stood foremost in the Cabinet, the betrayer
of his country ; whilst, like Judas, be denied it to the
people, and had thought to screen himself by dining
with a radical Lord Mayor, or by his brilliant speeches,

the Cabinet was at east *pen and intelligible, and in

ment for a libel not half so dangerous to the system of
the Government as the last motion and speech of the

party of the Cabinet at the Caledoni n Chapel, whet e a
popular preacher concluded one ef his orations with
earnestly exhorting the Ministers present to carry the
bible with them to their country seats, to put ify t!..eir -
souls during the recess ; but, considering the little be-
nefit they bad derived from the ads ice, he would re-
commend the trial of another remedy; of a more search-
ing nature, which had been expressly prepared for their
own case, by the celebrated Captain Rock, being the
publication he had alluded to ; and if this should fail
to move their consciences, he knew of nothing but
the liquid lake described by their Scotch Pastor,
that was likely to bring them to a sense of their
errors. But however that might be, he challenged
them to read and answer this book, which contained
a short but complete history td the causes of the
present state of lieland, and a true picture of the moral
and religions feelings of the patrons of the Bible Society.
The great Founder of Christianity reproached the High.
Priests and Pharisees of the Jews with being hypo-
crites ; but what would He have said to the present
Gospel teaching Ministers, who propagated hi. doc-
trines throughout the globe in the teeth of their conduct
to that unhappy country ? If further proof were want-.
lug, what stronger than the case of the late Missionary
Smith ; for who, after all, were the real authors of the
insurrection at Demerara ? Not the zealous Missionary ~;*
not the unhappy slaves; nor their more unhappy mas-
ters, whom, he believed, if not for humanity, at least for
their interest's sake, to be as anxious to protect their
slaves as the estates they worked upon ; nor lastly, did
he accuse the Military or Civil Authorities of the Set•
Clement; placed by the Government in so cruel a state •
of responsibility and danger ; but the Ministers them-
selves, who, to serve their political purposes, had en-
couraged these Missionaries in the teeth of their own
admission of the folly and danger of their proceedings;
for in the last Session they had declared the Missions/
Smith to have been the cause of the insurrecticn, whom
the Bible Society had held up as their be,t and most
exemplary agent. And what was the truth bowed
them ? The Right Hon. Gentleman, with the usual
consistency of Ins speeches, condemned the Missionary
as guilty, whilst he deeply lamented his fate ; but id
justice to the character of the deceased, he should have
proved his charge and spared his lamentations, which
only injured the accused by their semblance of candour.
For himself he believed that no unprejudiced mind
could have read the evidence without a conviction of
the truth and sincerity of the deceased's declarations of
his innocence; that however mistaken in his religious
feelings, he had been actuated by a pure and disinte-
rested zeal in the cause ; and, like the Apostles, in going
forth to preach the Gospel, had taken neither scrip nor
pane. But in thus defending his moral character from
the base motives which passion, prejudice, or cold- .
blooded policy had imputed to it, he must equally
avow his contempt of all these Bible Societies, which,
whether composed of knaves or dupes, were alike falser
absurd, and dangerous to the last degree, but connived
at by Ministers to corer the still greater imposture of
their Government. The Right Honourable Gentleman,
to adapt his eloquence to at spirit of the times, and to
tickle the Bible Society as he bad tickled his Learned
Friends, by his praise of the gallant Member for South-
wark, had declared the Shibboleth of his policy ; and
comparing its treacherous and inhuman consequences
with his far-fetched story from the Bible, be could not

at last he had gut it on his back, he found it too old
and threadbare to serve his purpose, and instead of re-
placing it with a new one, was vainly endeavouring to
repair it ; but who but himself would patch an old
coat with new cloth, in mending his old system with his
new principles. of Free Trade, which could not hold to.
