than unjust. That our own exclusion from the great market of
the world, and the cessation of demand at home, are the necessary
consequences of our own measures, because It Is in the nature of
things that a nation which refines to buy the productions of other
countries cannot sell its own.
" That we can only expect to derive permanent relief from our
distresses and impoverishment in our condition, from the strictest
economy in every brooch of the public expenditure, from the abo-
Ution of all exclusive privileges and monopolies; from an unre-
stricted supply of the int necessaries of life, and of the materials
of manufacture, and from a real free trade, by which the whole
community, as consumers, will be greatly hemline& the labour-
ing classes enabled to procure a fair reward, the capitalist to aug-
ment those funds by which all labour is supported, and the efli.
ciency of British industry permitted to produce its natural result
in enriching the country, and thus to restore and secure the public
prosperity."
The Earl of DARN LEY regretted that there was no
allusion to Ireland in the speech. Much had been dour,
1 for that country, but much yet remained to do.
The Duke of WELLINGTON should have some measure
relating to Ireland to propose to their lordship,. dining the
session : (hear, hear.)
The Marquis of LA NODOW N deprecated the plane of
the noble earl (Stanhope,) which were calculated and in-
tended to re-introduce a paper currency, and they knew
from experience, that if such a currency was once intro-
duced, it would lead to an unlimited issue : (hear, bear,
from the Duke of Wellington.) If they were once to allow
an issue, however small, he knew it would be impossible
to stop at any thing short of an unlimited issue. For
his part, he considered the address satisfactory, as it• ad-
mitted the distress, and did not preclude inquiry if it war
thought necessary. In explaining the grounds of hie
vote in favour of the address, the noble marquis then took
occasion to express his pleasure in the announcement that
Greece was about to be established in a state of independ-
ence and power, which would enable her to repel any infidel
invader; for he contended that if, as he had long believed,
the Turkish empire was verging to ruin, it, was the policy
and interest of England to place her in such a condition by
land and sea, as would render her a worthy ally, united to
us by maritime and social interests, as well as by religion.
He hoped, therefore, that no attempt would be made to
restrain her boundaries, and he waited with patience,
but with confidence, for the announcementof the final set-
tlement. After observing, that he feared the course
proposed to be adopted by the nobb earl (Aberdeen) with
respect to Portugal, was not the most respectful to-
wards the Parliament, nor that which would best
accomplish the ends he had in view, the noble mar-
quess praised the announcement of the reductions of
' expenditure contained in the speech, and expressed his
conviction that the noble duke would, in that part of his
policy which enforced retrenchment, have the support of
' every man of public spirit on either side of the house.
He concluded by expressing his pleasure that Ireland
enjoyed a state of comparative prosperity, and repeated
I his intention to vote for the address.
