seems to mistake, the real date of the ease. I stated that the acme-
Ilatiort Was altogether unfounded, and he still maintains, that 'Do-
vestment being called taped .for explanatlen, I declined to give it.
I say. that the call was made upon those who bays joiued the Go-
vernment, to skew why they supported it? The proposition ad-
vanced by the lion. Baronet is, therefore, founded on the ergotism-
Mei ad irteidinas, in the highest degree—(Hear, hear !) His charge
was, that the Government of the country was called upon for
explanation, and that I declined or avoided giving it. In his
second charge, he said that others had taken the explanatiou
out of my mouth; whilst the fact is, that the call being, as
I have already stated, made upon my Honourable Friends, to *hew
why they supported me, they row to do so. Not a word that has
been said called upon me for expl!oation. There was another thing
by which the Honourable Baronet might know, that what was said
did not call upon me fur reply, for my Right Hon. Friend, I know
from my knowledge of his character, would not, whatever others
might have done, have put categorical questions to nee, to•ethieh I
could Dot, by the rules of the House, have replied, having already
spoken. I have no hesitation in saying, that there has been nothing
like wilful misrepresentation on the part of the Hon. Baronet—
(Cheers). Whatever mistake he may twee been betrayed into, is
referable, solely, no doubt, to the heat of debate ; and, as so any
personal feeling, which he may have attributed to me, I can assure
him, that I bear anger me these occasions but as the lint carries
fire—( Hearvhear).
Mr. PEEL bore testimony to the correctness with which his
Right Hon. Friend lead stated she effect of his (Mr. Peel's) alit..
sions—( Hear, bear). While, however, he acknowledged that the
Right Hon. Gentleman had set his Hon. Friend right it. this re-
spect, he must contend, that he had a fair political right to ask those
ei In had accepted office, under the new Government, why they had
so WSW office? He thought, however, that, throughout his speech,
be had most particularly implied, that he was satisfied his Right
Hon. Friend (Mr. Canning) intended to adhere to his principles,
and, acting upon his own views of the interests of the Established
Church, he (Mr. P.) still considered that be was fairly justified in
demanding of those who had taken offices on what principles they
had joined his Right lion. Friend? In conclusion, be could not help
saying. that he looked upon the animadversions of the Honourable
'Baronet on the other side, in relation to any thing which had fallen
from hint (Mr. Peel) es totally uncalled for—(hear).
Sir FRANCIS Bunnerr explained.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, that the Honourable Gentleman
who had lately filled the office of Secretary of Sue had alluded
to the question of Parliamentary Reform. He (Lord John Rus-
ton) bad more than once been the advoiate of that question in
that House, and he had consulted his party, the majority of whom
were of opinion that it ought not. -even if it could, be made a Ca-
binet measure. But why should those persons who bad always
voted against Parliamentary Reform now come forward and insist
that it ought to be made a Cabinet measure?—(Cheers.) They
surely could have nothing to do with promoting that question. Per-
haps the Hon. Gent. thought that he (Lord J. Russell) would bring
forward the question of Parliamentary Reform. If he did, it hap-
pened, unfortunately for him, that he, last Sessile, made a declara-
tion that that was the last time he would bring it forward, because
he found great lukewarmness in the country upon the question, and
because be thought that Itekewannnets arose from the general satis-
faction of the measures of Government. He should not now re-
tract that determinatioo. If, however, the Right Hon. Gentleman
(Mr. Peel) would allow him to tell hint what would promote the
cause of Parliamentary reform more than any thing else, he should
say, that to place in any high situation in the country that Hon.
Gentleman ( .lr. Dawson) who began this discussions.ould be the
most effectual way—(Laughter and cheers). Th evils which
must arise from such an appointment would be so many and se great,
that be had no doubt the question would soon be triumphantly car-
ried—(Cheers). At the same time, however, he owned that he had
a great deal too much love for his country to see the question carried
by such mean.—(Loud cheers).
Mr. G. DAWSON said, that although he thought that in the
present state of things the Right Hon. Gentleman would have
done better if he had been a little more communicative, yet his
object was answered, and he should not press his motion. (Cries
of aGo on, go on." He should certainly not divide the House
upoo it. (A few cries of divide from the Opposition benches).—
Foregoing, as he did, any intention to press his onetime, be
hoped the House would excuse hint if he now made a few
further observations with reference to the part which the
Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Canning) had taken in this
discussion. For five years he (Mr. Dawson) bad sat betide that
Right Honourable Gentleman, and he might safely say that during
that time not a single uncourteous satires/lon bad ever passed his
lips when speaking of the Right Hen. Gentleman—(Hear, and
laughter.) The Right Hon. Gent. ought to have recollected that
before be made use of expressions derogatory to him (Mr. Dawseo);
he ought to have recollected also that he was ever willing to ac-
knowledge the great and extraordinary talents of the Right Hon.
Gentleman. In introducing the present motion, he (Mr. Demon)
abstained from using a single expression that could in any
way be construed into a feeling of personal disrespect for that Right
Honourable Gentleman. Inc thus abstaining, however, it was not
because the past history of the Right Honourable Gentleman did
not (mulish materials for unfavourable continent—(Hear, lice*
—Had be (Mr. Dawson) gone into the past political life of the
Right Hon. Gentleman, it presented circumstances of a nature
so ambiguous and suspicious, as to afford sufficient scope for obsera
vation. Had he referred to the transactions of former days, In
which the history of the Right Honourable Gentleman was blended,
there was sufficient evidence exising to prove that the Right Hon.
Gentleman had afforded ample grounds for doubt and suspicion.
The proposition which be ( Mr. Dawson) had submitted to the House,
was said by the Right Hoc. Gentleman to have been received
with disgust. That such a feeling was excited in the House,
he (Mr. Dawson) unequivocally denied, although the Right
Honourable Gentleman bad certainly endeavoured to treat it
with disdain, as far as be was personally concerned. Whatever
Imputations the Right Honourable Gentleman might, how-
ever. have thought proper to indulge to, be (Mr. Dawson) trusted
that his character in that House, both as a Member of Parliament
and as a Member of his Majesty's Government, was sufficient to
repel them; and he did so now in the same terms, and with the
same disdain, that the Right Honourable Gentleman had himself
evinced—{Near.)
Sir GEORGE WARRENDER observed, that from the whole
tenour of the discussion es hick be beard to-night. he bad de-
termined for the future to adopt one rule for the.government
of his future conduct; which was, never on any occasion to
absent himself from his seat in that House. He adopted this
Ersolutiou from the lesson which he Clad learned to-night, for he
confessed he had the advantage of witnessing as fait and anxious a
desire to create a factious debate, in the midst of a discussion in no
way coonected with faction, as the veriest parliamentary reformer
could desire—(Hear and laughter}—The lion. Baronet, after some
further observations, concluded by saying, be could assure the
Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Canning) that it was his intention to
give the Government of which he was the head his most sealous
and cordial support—( Hear, he).
The question on Mr. Dewsoe's motion was then pat, and ite-
gatived, the " Noes" being extremely numerous and loud.
annum SUIPOW/1181111. •
General 0 ASCOYNIE expressed his unwillingness to enter into
the motion, of which his notice stood on the paper, at the late hour
of the evening they bad now arrived to. The Hon. sod Gallant
Officer then complained of the repeated interruptions he had re-
ceived, and the number of times he had been persuaded to give
place to others who bad risen, proposing to ask questions
only, and had made speeches three quarters of an hour long, upon
as extraneous subject. lie then repeated his desire to postpone
his oven proposition until some evening when it could come on at
an hour more calculated for affording it all the justice which should
be done to it.
After a shortconversation, in which Mr. lioniesou. Mr. Heave-
COTIIs General Gascarne, and Mr. Past. participated, the notice
for ass Select Committee, to inquire into the present ditressed state
of the British Shipowners" was postponed till Monday.
