Mr. PONSONBY said, be felt a real aatiety to se, ,

country was concerned in stewing, that no variation

leer, hear.)-He was happy to bear the statement
made.by the Noble Lordrthat the national character
was untainted with this act,-that it was to be refer,
-red solely to an individual. It was the great advan-
tage of a free Government that every one had an op.
portunity and a right of freely expressing his opinioa.
It was the duty of every individual enjoying this
right, to express his opinion, however different it might
be to the views and policy of others ; and if a ,rasa
was to suffer for a free, honest, conscientious avowal
of his sentiments, the morals of the people mos-, ia.

under a 'state- of despotism. Let every Englishmaa
then express his horror of such principles. He entirely
agreed with the Noble Lord, that it was the dtity,44
Pirliament to interfere, to protect the servants of
public. He agreed in the principle of the all 1 k

' Perceval should suffer in poverty.-(Nestor, ifer..),
Though he widely differed from Mr. Perceval in po.
litical questions, no man entertained a higher °rink%
of his honour, nor a warmer affection for his perm,

Mr. CANNING said, he trusted he should be psi.

they contained, and to join in that testimony cans
spectful sorrow already so ably pronounced on Vs
departed friend. Of that deceased friend he wed)
say, that there never existed a man more uniformly
amiable. None of.those who acted with him boa

i that his errors were the errors of a virtuous mind. f
I was a at consolat en to ccosider, that the crime
which had deprived the country of this ornamerawn
the act of a solitary individual. Tile Noble Lori
had acted justly and wisely in snaking this comma

1 ratiou. The loss of Mr. Perceval was irreparableto
his country-it was irreparable to his family, exact
so far st 3 pecuniary aid could compensate. When
l we recollect how often, during the last two years, we
have listened with pleasure to his voice, when belle
been calling on Parliament to reward great public
services, we ought to embrace with eagerness this la.

far as possible to alleviate the sorrows of a deeely
afflicted family-(Cites of hear, hear.)
Mr. WHITBREAI) then „rose, bat for some mei

by the poignancy of his feelings.-" It would be,

currence in the motion of the Noble Lord, wh'ol /
do must fully: As to the lamented individual sis
has just gone from anutmts,t us, none could well

than I did. He was great as a public character, aid
amiable as a private individual. His private vines
none ever questimied, however they might rrele

for which I held him pre,eminent, which indeed el
