lissa War •
d ssisia-41.7 bad refected it without the
means easothoset. Tioleemed gent. went on to notice
the long time which reform had occupied the attention of the
noble premier, upwards of SI years, and the gradual pm-
gression it had undergone, till it had arrived at its present
state, and he thought that it consequently was entitled to
the confidence of the people. It now ;Mete be said what would
the ministers do ? He would recommend them to be firm and
pc revere, not to let the wheel go from their grasp until they
had steered the vessel into harbour ; to be prompt ; let rot
a mitre rest upon r.n Iscariot brow ! (Immense cheering.)
Let them be true to the people—the people will net be false
to them :

"Be just and fear not;
Let all the ends they aim at be their country's,
Their GOD'S, and truth."
It was also asked what would the people do ? For his own
country (Ireland) he knew it would do as it had done
before; it would maintain the peace; but lend to Eng-
land its utmost aid. They saw in the measure the first
struggle for liberty, and they had seen the mule; but
the people will still ask for it until they hive the image
of the people.
Sir G. MURRAY said, he would not attempt to fol-
low the learned gentleman who had pat sat down in his
imposing flights of fancy ; he would rather follow the
Noble Lord in his suggestion of moderation. He did not
think that the country had anieeti at any fistful crisis.'
He could see no reason for tl•e rote which they were
caked for that night, as he did not think there was a
necessity for their expressing any further opinion on the bill
—the measure had already been sufficiently discussed. If the
resolutions were meant as a censure on the other house they
were uncalled for, because the privileges of the Commons
had not at all been infringed upon. The hon. baronet al-
luded to the different topics, besides the resolutions, that had
been noticed by the noble lord in hls introdoellon, and inti-
mated that he did not conceive they were entitled to the cre-
dit the Ministers claimed from them. He said his Majesty's
Nlinittrers had called in to their assistance a power stronger
th'n themselves, a dangerous power—the people. He re-
probated the tone that had been adopted in the speeches,
which, he said, would only tend to make government more
difficult.

Mr. STRICKLAND supported the resolutions. He would
not for a moment leave the present Ministy because a
heedful of men had thrown out the measure. (Heft, hear.)
The retirement of Ministers would be the greatest of cals.
ethics; it would confirm that want of confidence of the
'people in the Ministers of the Crown which was one of the
worst 'signs of the times. Attachment to Reform was of
ancient date; it had existed for the last seventy years. He
trusted that its prompt triumph would restore confidence
In Government, and would preserve the constitution.—
(Cheers.)
Mr. LITTLETON thought it impossible, after the re-
jection by the Lords of a measure affecting exclusively
the interests of the commonalty, and passed by such a ma-
jority in that house, that they should separate without re.
asserting their attachment to it, and their confidence in
Ministers. It was only by taking the lead, and giving the
people an example of the conduct to be pursued that they
could prevent that insubordination, and thole acts of
violence which would place their opponents on 'vantage
ground. Lord Brougham's letter in 1810 had been alluded
to, as being in favour of a reform less extensive than the pre-
sent ; but having then only the influence of a piivate mem-
ber, and the public attention being engrossed by a foreign
war, he could not hope that an extensive measure would be
successful. As to his dispatch in the Court of Chancery,
which had been sneered at, he considered it had secured to
him more reputation and authority than any of his predeces-
son had ever obtained. Had the Members of the other
House beets acquainted with the manufacturing population,
they would not have rejected Reform. He (Mr. 1..) had
long been witn. es to their daily increasing wealth and informa-
tion ; to their ardent attachment to Reform, and to their
firm det. rmination to obtain it—qualities which it depend-
ed on the Legislature to convert to the welfare of the State,
or to the destruction of its institutions. He was convinced
that if the bill did not pass, the institutions were no longer
secure. (Hear.)
Colonel SIBTHOKPE returned thanks to the other
house for its firmness and patriotism. He rejoiced in the
demolition of this radical bill. He could not grant his
confidence to Ministers. What beneficial measure had
they carried? What economy had they enforced ? He
would decidedly oppose the motion.
Mr. HU aIR concurred entirely with the motion of the
noble lord, because the other house had rejected a measure,
to which the whole nation looked up.—( Hear, and cries
of " Oh I"). He denied that the Ministers had excited
me people—the people were of themselves alive to their
own interests, and far from needing excitement. What he
now thought necessary was to prevent them from asking
too much. (Hear.) He (Mr. H.) demanded only that the
House of the people should be filled by the repre.
sentatives of the people. The opposition talked of delegates,
but what were all the nominees who were around him? He
regretted the proceeding of the Peers, not because it woo d
stop Reform, but because they would now be called on to
pass a far more extensive Reform ; he regretted the Peers'
blindness and ignorance. They had nut arrested Reform ;
Ministers, assisted by the King, and by the people, must be
successful. He would be ashamed of the name of Briton,
if the people could remain under the oppression of a trifling
minority. A hew short weeks would restore them to their
rights. He hoped they would be patient during that period.
He was not afraid of entrusting power to the people; they
would act justly and honestly ; he bad seen thousands as-
sembled that day, and a more unanimous attachment to
mil:lll4.es he had never witnessed. He gave the motion his
cordial support. (Cheers.)
Mr. T. DU NCOMBE said, the question was rot Lord
Brougham's letter or the bankruptcy bills, but whether the
people were to have real or sham reform.—( Hear.) They
should not allow the sentiments of their constituents to pass
unheeded, or let a measure, which had cost them so much
time and labour, fall to the ground like a common turnpike
bill. They must agree to the resolutions, to tranquillize
the public, and to give them hopes of the ultimate success
of Reform. He agreed with the gentlemen opposite, that
no measure should be carried by a creation of peers ; but
then they must 'hew him an alternative—they must meet
him half way, and thew him some other means of satisfy-
ing the people's wishes • otherwise, he was givcn to it.
He was the more reconciled to a creation of peers, because
he saw amongst the majority against the bill many who had
obtained their coronets on account of their influence in the
boroughs. He confessed that the remedy would be despe.
rate, but not so desperate as the plans of the opposition. He
considered that if Ministers were to resign at the present
moment, supported as they were by the people, they would
betray the confidence so generously reposed in them. On
the contrary, they must take every constitutional means of
gaining a full representation, confident that on the success
of their measure depended public tranquillity. Let them
proceed boldly and firmly ; now was not the time to faulter.
Let them attend only to their King and the people, and
they would be leuecessful, and their memory would be
blessed. He supported the resolutions, because they did
nothing bit justice to the King and to his Ministers, and
beause they were conformably with the wishes of the
people.—(Cheers.)
Mr. R. TREVOR said, concession bad always been the
ruin of anarchies. Concession was the ruin of Charles I. and
of Louis XVI. He thanked the Lords for their firmness.
He must decline his confidence to Ministers. Their foreign
policy was timid and subservient. For their colonial policy
he would leave the colonies to speak ; and as to their inter-
nal administration, Mete had not been such an accumulation
of port nage since the days of Walpole. He was ready to
support any measure that would secure the liberties of the
people, together with the prerogatives of the Crown, and of
both Houses. (Hear.)
Mr. J. JOIIINSTONE said, on the vote of the House de-
pended public tranquility. If the people saw that the Mi-
nisters and the Commons did not abandon them, all would
be well ; but if doubts arose on that subject, exasperation
would be added to disappointment.
Mr. OFFLEY concurred with his constituents, who had
come to a resolution that the resignation of Ministers would
be a calamity. He hoped his Majesty's Ministers would
not pay any regard to political punctilio. (A laugh.) They
might depend the people would rot endure an anti.Refonn
Ministry. (Hear, hear.) The argument on the other side
was, that the system worked well ; but it was the people of
England that worked well against the system. (Hear, bor.)
Moisten on the great question of Reform had acted nobly
by the people, and placed the question in a position from
which it could not be mood, and which would secure them
the effectual support of a grateful people. (Hear.)
Mr. CROKER had wished to have delayed what he had
to say till he heard from ministers what were their inten-
tions; but he supposed they were silent, as they considered
themselves the subject of the motion ; a feeling of which he
could not disapprove. He was confident his Majesty's Mi-
nisters were not the authors of the present motion; that they
would not throw this additional ingredient into the auddren
that was already boiling over. He firmly believed that

the member for Preston correctly described the public feel.
ing, when he said he could find nobody for the bill, but
those who were to get a vote by it. (Heat, hear, and a
laugh.) The noble lord who made the motion said die coun.
try was alarmed and exasperated, and yet be made a modem
that would increase that exasperatioa.Thenoble lord opposite
(Lord Althorp) had nothing more to do than to stand up in
his place and say thatblinisters were determined to persevere
In the Bill, and that would effect with safety all the pre-
sent motion ought to ecconsplbdt by dangerous means.
(Dear, hear.) The Hon. Member for Caine said the
law was nut sufficient to restrain the people ; and to
strengthen the law, he applied to it every term that was
degrading. (Hear, hear, hear.) He entered into a dis-
cussion to prove to the ramie that laws were totally
worthless, except the people were disposed to obey them.
(Hear, hear.) That laws could only be supported by
public opinion or the mad. Nothing could be more
preposterous. Laws were made to preserve us front the
sword and public opinion. The public opinion and thrash-
ing-machines should be destroyed. New Zealand flax should
be burned, and steel traps abolished t but his Majesty's mi-
nisters held a different doctrine. He believed the people were
peaceable and disposed to submit to the law ; and he regret.'
ted that this debate was forced on the House; for himself
he was willing to make any sacrifice to prevent any dis-
' turbans in the country, but as the question was forced upon
them, they must give it a negative.
31r. SANDFORD said the motion was intended to tran-
quillize men's minds, and that it would have that effect, and
therefore it should have his support.—( Hear, hear.) He
did not think the Chancellor of the Exchequer's making a
decimation that the government would persevere, would be
sufficient in tranquillize the public mind. The people had
a right to know that their representatives were determined to
support the ministers and their measure of Reform.._( Hear.)
Mr. O'CONNHLL said, the Right Hon. Gentleman
(Mr. Croker) was quite right in saying the question was
faced on the House. It would he forced on both sides of
the House by the people. (Rear, h. ar.) The weak and
foolish:—he would not say wicked—decision of the Lords,
nude it necessary fbr the House to declare that they would
su,mzrt the Bill and the Alittisters by whom alone it could
be carried. (Hear.) Every man was now a Reformer—he
would be regarded as a monster if he did not profess it.—
(Hear.) But it became every honest reformer to come for.
ward amid declare his determinetion to support the Bill.—
(Hear.) By accident he had lost the speech of the Hun.
Member for Boroughbridge ; but having heard him seventy-
five times on the Bill, he 'supposed he could hardly
have heard any novelty of phraseology. —(A laugh.)—
The Hon. Member rear him. said Charles and Louis lost
their lives because they conceded, and George remained
finn en his throne, because he resisted. The hon. member
must have read history badly. Charles and Louis lost their
lives because they resisted too long, and conceded too late,
whet their sincerity could not be relied on. (Hear, hear,)
George was never committed with his people in England ;
but in America, where he opposed the people, he was
obliged to yield. .(Hear, hem.) The present measure was
no controversy between the King and the people, but between
King and people united, and a sordid oligarchy. (Hear,
bear.) It might be too math to ask Tories to read history ;
but would they recollec.. their own story Three times
that House passed the great charter of Irish freedom.—
Three times it was :ejected by tie Lords. Did they sue-
need in their oppeeition ? No, they were compelled to yield.
I (Hoar, hear, hear.) Were the people of England to be
told that the people of Ireland knew how to recover their
rights' but they did not, and therefore they should be with.
held. Were the thinking people of Scotland, which country
was all one rotten borough, to he told that they must be con-
tent to remain without chewing their representatives? and
mild they thick the people of Ireland were less determined to
gain the full possession of their rights ? In his own country
a man, whose name was never heard there till it was an-
nounced in the Guile& as a representative of its borough,
for which he paid 3,0001. now sat in that House neutralizing
hit (Mr. O'C.'s) vote. (Hear, hear, hear.) All England,
Scotland, and Ireland were determined to possess their
constitutional right of being represented in that House.—
(Hear. hear, bear.) It was said that the Lords would
give them a new Administration. He would like to see
them march into that House. (A laugh.) Would they,
when appointed. turn round, as they did on the Catholic
question, and become Reformers to save their places ?
(Hear, hear, bear.) If the orange flag was to wove over
Ireland, and the black flag over Scotland, and the manu-
facturing districts of England were left boiling with rage at
their disappointment, he must be a bold man, and a bad
that would refuse to avert the censequences.—(Hear,
hear.) The Right Hon. Gentleman asked what was the
good of the present motion ? To prevent disappointment
becoming despair—(bear, bear)—to pour oil over the agitated
waves; and It would have that effect if Masters and the
House did their duty.—( Hear, hear.)
Col. EVANS said, be would vote for the motion; he be-
lieved no other GoVernment could be established but the
government of the sword, and that lie would resist with the
sword.

Sir C. WETHERELL said he should move that the
hon. gentleman's words be taken down.
The SPEAKER called upon Colonel Evans to explain.
Colonel EVANS repeated, that if a Government by the
sword should be attempted in this country, he would be ready
to draw his sword against it.
Sir It. PEEL said, nothing could be more unnecessary
than to put the hypothetical case of a Government by the
sword being attempted in this country. (Hear.) Wu this
the way to pour oil on the agitated waves ? (Hear.) The
noble lord proposed a resolution which he expected would be
supported by those who voted for reform, and which those
who voted against it would oppose. He thought it perfectly
cantaloupe for both aides to maintain their opinions, and to
express them with moderation. When he last expressed his
opinion on the question, he also expressed his hope that all
the &Mtn' shy it excited would be buried in oblivion. If the
majori y thought tit to second their opinion again, he did not
mean to enter into the question, though be thought the de-
claration of that opinion so lately expressed in favour of
the bill would be sufficient. The honourable gentleman op-
posite said, he though' every means should be resorted to
for carrying the bill, previously to creating new peers for the
purpose ; and that he hoped to see it prevented by their be-
tel met half way ; and yet the present motion would prevent
the supporters of the bill advancing a step to meet their op-
ponents. In another place it was said that the bill, or some
measure equally efficient, would be insisted oa ; and might
not a measure, with many modifications, be equally efficaci.
ous ? He thought L was not wise to pledge themselves to
the leading provisions of the bill. Ile should not ente. into
the general merits of the government, but must give his de.
cided negative to the resolution that they deserved the con-
fidence of the House for their conduct on the Reform Bill.
He understood that this vote was out ea affect the ministers
continuance in office ; but that they were still honoured with
the confidence of their Sovereign, and would continue in ad-
ministration ; that being the case it could not tend to make
their government easy to encourage a refusal to pay taxes
or to exaggerate the number of public useetings.—(Hear,
bear.) Those who voted against the bill must oppose the
present motion.—( Hear.)

Lord A LTHOR P said he waited till others had expressed
their opinions, that if any observations were made traetiste!
e
quired an answer he might have the opportunity of giving
that answer. The Gentlemen opposite could not be ex-
pected to piece confidence in Ministers; and the question
had been raised whether Ministers were not answerable for
the present state of feeling in the country With respect to
their financial propositions, he would say, that though some
had been withdrawn, the repeal of dudes bad been highly
beneficial to the poor.—As to the present state of the collo.
try, the Ministers did not feel themselves answerable for
that? What was ;he real state of the country when
itey came into office ?—(Hear, bear.) The Ministers had
not excited the country. They were friendly to Reform, it
was true—they had brought forward the Reform Bill from
a sense of a duty, but they could not be answerable for the
exdt.ment. He, however, was prepared to say, that when
be thought the Bill to its full extent could not be carried,
he should not hold office one hour longer. (Immense cheer.
inn.) When hope on that subject ceased, be should cease to
hold office. (Cheering.) He would be no party to the pro
posing of a less efficient measure. (Great cheering.) They
owed much to the King and much to the people—(hear)—
and therefore so long as confidence was reposed iu them, they
would endeavour to realise the expectations of his Majesty
and the country. While he bad a voice to raise, that voice
should be exerted to promote Parliamentary reform. He
had only to hope that the people would conduct themselves
with order and propriety; if that only were done, the great
measure could not be delayed. (Loud cheers.)
Dlr. HUNT said they bad no occasion to be afraid of
acts of violence ; the press had for months been endeavour-
ing to cause violence, but bad not succeeded ; then where the
grounds ter alarm ? As to the motion, he had proposed it
this evening to 3,000 people in Lord Rbringtou's own words,
and seven hands were held up for It, and all the rest were
lagainst it. (Loud laughter.) He was not satisfied with the
bill, and he felt quite sure that It would not have satisfied the
country. He declared that the Ministers bad disappointed

the country—out of office t attacked the civil list and the'
expenditure for Windsor Get but hi office they supported
he
these grants. (Merl uproar, signs of Impatience, such as
groans, oh's, ac.) If he were not to be heard he would move
an adjournment, would any one second it? (A laugh.) He
then preareded *gain, declaring that the people would not
be lathed with the bill. But my Lord Brougham was
I dragged sheet in his earriagenow that was what he had
been ashamed of for the last ten yean. He was ashamed of
what was so disgraceful and contemptible. (Continued
laughter.) On the subject of the bill the people had been
grossly deluded. Nothing would satisfy the people but
householder suffrage, and triennial Parliaments, and he
would join any party that would support any thing like a
principle of Worm.
Lorti EDI! INGTON rose to reply. lie thought that
which had occurred within the last twenty-four hours proved
there was no abatement in the desire of the
_ people for Par. liamentary reform. (Hear, hear.) He had only to hope
that the people would continue to act with their exemplary
patience.
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw for the division.
The numbers were—
For the motion .. .. 310

Against it ... ... .. 198

Majority • . 131
The result was rcceivAl by the House with lumen's
cheering.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and
the House adjourned at Half.past Two.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS-THIS DAY.

We learn that the Bishop of Vannes, consulted
by the Trappists, has protested against the occu-
pation of their convent by the armed force. It
appears even that the country has manifested its
indignatien against these acts of violence which
carry a double blow at property and religious
institut ions.— Quotidienne.

The Revolution promises to re-appear on Wed-
nesday next.

BERLIN, OCT. I.—Eight hundred and seventy
individuals have been attacked with cholera, at
Berlin, up to the 30th September ; one hundred
and ninety-four have recovered health, five hun-
dred and fifty-nine are dead, and one hundred and
seven are in treattnent.—Casette de Prune.

A traveller, recently arrived from Prussia,
affirms that all the authorities of that country, and
even the innkeepers, have received the description
of the celebrated Lelewell, member of the Na-
tional Government of Warsaw, and chief of the
conspiracy which burst out on the 29th of No-
vember, in order to have him arrested. He i,
justly considered as one of the most devoted and
most decided men of Poland. The Russian Go-
vernment appears impatient to exercise its ven-
geance upon him.—Courrier Francais.

WARSAW, SEPT. 20. —The Gazette of War-
saw gives a list of officers and military employes,
which have not followed the Polish army, and who
have again taken an oath of fidelity to his Majesty
the Emperor : amongst that number are Generals
Isidor Kransinski,Jean Malletzki,Lucas Bieganski,
Antoine Dsrweki, Pierre 13ontems, Jean Tomizki,
and Antoine Palow•ski. General Woznikin, Prince
Galezyn, and the Councillor Wayda, have arrived
at Warsaw. The cholera has nearly entirely disap-
peared in the military hospitals of Warsaw, and for
some days few persons have been attacked. New in-
formation has been received respecting the corps of
Rozyzki ; a' ter having suffered a new check, it has
endeavoured to retreat into the palatinate of Cra-
cow; but it is doubted whether this project will
succeed. The last attempt of the Polish army of
Medlin, which wished to retire into Cracow by
Plozk, has equally miscarried. When the corps
had passed the Vistula, near Plock, and reached
Gombin, the soldiers deserted by bands, and the
chiefs not judging it proper to engage in new com-
bats, preferred returning to Plozk. It is said that
they have just made their definitive submission at
Warsaw.—Gazette de Prusse.

VIENNA, SEPT. 27.—The Emperor gives
audiences this week as usual, and has come to the
city to examine the works of the grand canal, but
without stopping a Burg ; he returned immediately
to Schcenbrunn. The corps of General Ramo-
riuo, which has Taken refuge upon our territory,
will not be sent into the interior of the kingdom,
but placed in surseillance upon the frontiers until
such time as circumstances will permit its being
sent back to Poland. The Polish contest will not
be long, we hope, in being terminated to the
faction of all parties, with the exception perhaps
of the eccentric liberals of France and England,
whom no government will ever content. The
late events of France have produced no effect upon
our Bourse. The Funds mount continually. We
are now accustomed to see the populace of Paris
in commotion upon every occasion, and we are
astonished even that it has not made more of
late.—Correspondent de Nurembury.
There arrive at Paris many rich families from
Vienna and Berlin, who fly before the cholera.
It appears that at Vienna the cholera, though at-
tacking more persons, is however, less fatal than
at Berlin. In the first of these cities, the malady
has been fatal, up to the 27th of September, to 461
upon 1206 attacked, whilst at Berlin there has
perished up to the 30th Sept. 559 upon 870.

VIEN NA , SEPT. 28.—Up to 23d Sept. the num-

gary, was 254,489 ; of these 117,782 had died,
93,502 recovered, and 43,205 were still under the
hands of the physicians. Numerous furloughs are
granted in the army, which has tended to lessen
the reports of war. The corps of Romariso has
laid down its arms, and measures are already taken
to deliver them up to the Russian army. The corps
has 7,000 horses and 38 pieces of cannon. Let-
ters from Trieste say, that the accounts from Syra
give hopes of an amicable agreement between the
Greek nation and its government. Count Capo

BUENOS AYRES, JULY 9.—On the 7th a mail

LONDON, TUESDAY, OCT. 11.

Ows o'Claci, Tins DAY.—Thermometer, 62. Ba.
roamer, 29-71. ,Weather, cloudy. 'Wind S.W.

The convulsion which now pervades the kinz-
dom from one end to the other, is to be regarded
as the immediate work of the Boroughmongering
Oligarchy, in the Upper House. It is not the
fault of the Bill, but of its insolent rejection; and
the Majority are alone accountable for all the mis-
chiefs and inflictions which may ensue. :Other
men besides themselves are made of flesh and
blood, and the rejection of a Bill calculated
to consolidate the liberties, and most important
interests of the Empire, after all the anxiety
which its concoction and progress has created, i,
palpably more than flesh and blood can bear.

In other columns we have stated various facts,
indicative of the feelings of this great town; but
facts are cold resemblances of the reality. TIR,
people hold in too much contempt the authris of
this wrong, and therefore passed their mansions
with derision and bye-words ; but there never was
an occasion in this metropolis in which a similar
universal excitement prevailed, than was witnessed
in all the principal thoroughfares last night.
There was no deficiency of muscular strength to
do mischief; but happily a better feeling seemed
to govern the populace. A confident reliance was
generally placed on the good dispositions of the
SovEREIG w on the throne, and is the unequivocal
patriotism of the Ministers; and lessons to this
effect had been repeated in so many public assem-
blies during the day, that they appeared to have
sank deep in the minds of all classes. To have
vented their indignation against the houses or per-
sons of particular individuals, was agreed to be a
distinction which none of them merited.

An English gentleman of singularly good intel-
ligence, who has just arrived from Italy, assures
us that the authority of the POPE is now limited
to the City of Rome only, in which even his
power is very equivocal. He considers the tem-
poral authority of the POPE as utterly extinct.

An official communication has been made by
the Minister for Foreign Affairs at Brussels, to
the effect that the Kum of HOLLAND, after
holding a Council, had agreed to prolong the
armistice to the 25th of October, at noon.

The sentiments of London are manfully expressed
in the various resolutions of the public meetings,
which consisted of all the great bodies that could
be collected together yesterday. Others are an-
nounced to day and to-morrow and before the
end of the week full seven-eighths of the house-
keepers of London will have become parties in the
purest patriotic sentiments. Of their firmness and
perseverance we entertain no doubt , and we ere
sure that London will be an example to the whole
nation in this respect ; and will nut relax its ex-
ertions till the Bill is carried.

The House of Commons—the last hope of the
nation—met under a Call which secured a fill
attendance; and Lord Es RI N Grow, after an
able and eloquent speech, proposed some declare•
tory resolutions in accordance with the teals
out of doors. This was as it should be, and hence
out of doors that general care not to violate the
law, and confound their parliamentary friends, in
a pure cause, with law-breakers. The debate was
distinguished by its feeling and animation—tbe
boroughmongers seeming to be inspired with now
hopes, while the friends of Reform proved that
they lost none of their confidence in success.

The, Resolutions moved by his Lordship were as
follows; and for this time, at least, the House of
Commons and the people of England are identified:

That while this house laments the present state of a Bill
for introducing a reform into the Commons House of Par.
'lament, In favour of which the opinion of the country stands
unequivocally pronounced, and which has been matured by
discussions the most anxious and the most laborious,
It feels itself most imperatively called upon to reassert
its firm adherence to the principles and leading provisions
of that great measure, and to express its unabated confident*
in the integrity, perseverance, and abili:y of those Ministers
who, in introducing and conducting it, so well consuhel the
best interests of the country.

On the same side, Mr. Macauley made a very
spirited speech ; also Mr. Sheil, Mr. Littleton, Mr.
Hun e, Mr. T. Duncombe, Mr. Wiley, Mr. O'Con-
nell, and Colonel Evans. On the other side ap-
peared Mr. Goulburn, Sir C. Wetherell, and Sir
H. Peel. Lord Althorp closed the debate with
declarations in regard to the feelings and intentions
