time curifidence entertained by the country in the In.
tire, the Government could look with satisfaction at.
the state of the public funds, which had risen from
si.eiy to eighty in a manner altogether unprecedented;
and he would ask, was it nothing that the establish-
ments sit the country had been reduced to eighteen
millions, in spite of all the reiterated 'prognostications
to bite cautrary—(ldeardwar) As to the language in
which tie Honourable end Learned Giiillemon had
indelgerf with respect to foreign Proverb, he noise say
that Wt it:nattier Government could not be amens-
Me to the comitry fur the preservation of friendly re-
lit:ass, it such a course was pursned di that House.
He most protest against it, and he must protest too
against the principle which the Honourable and
Learneo Gentieinan had assumed, that we ought to
us: ow flower or dictate interested commercial cote
cessions irons the minor European States,: Tots was
pri.icipie unworthy -ot Great Eintaia—a principle
e nevelt would act upon ; for he believed it to be
xaoratir and politically wrong—(Hear).—Having
avOwed,oilia, he had answered the whole of the Ho-
nouratiii; and Learned Gentlemen's-arguments on that
quiestion.- In what Government had done they had
reference to the advice and opinions of the law ser-
vants-Of. the Crown as to the law of liations,• winch
the lioniourable and Learned Gentlenionstemed ready
to 'tangoes' whenever it might answer his purpose.
The Hein. and Learned Gentleman had travelled
in:o the large question of our policy with respect to
South 'Americo He must repeat his surprise that
such a cioepter as this had been reserved for the close
el the Session. It formed a q'iestiost tiPon. which he
felt a difficulty in saying all lie felt and all he knew ;
but when the time came, he should be ready to prove,
that even with all the coMplicationt of policy 'be-
tween tbe.perent lute! and • 'their' colonies, Govern.
meat 1,41,r pusued a course which would entitle them
to the sonction or the House. If the Honourable
and Leorned Genai man thought commerce had suf.
'tett& wstO South America, he twist deny the fact.—
As to the amount of the trade of this country with
that quarter, he believed he had now nothing to re.
spire. Its commerce with this zeuotry, as with
ethers; roes injured by the want 'of a settled Govern-
end the language of the Hon: and Learned
Ge'etteman was not caiculated to lesten the evil. If
Ministers had erred so grievously in -tbit quarter of
i'ae world, the Honourable and. Learned '.Gentleman
had convicted himself of a violation of his own duty,
is not having brought forward a separate and spe-
cide ctiaryie against them on this account. As to
:he treat) el Parii— differing from the Learned
Member m tie did on other questions, he was not am-
hitious at his concurrence on this ; but he should
have thuoght the Ministers of the Allied Powers
:were mere. drivellers, if they did not look with sus.
picion at those persons who held to the man, that.
nad shakos the political world to its foundation,
zed among them to the person (Lucien Bonaparte)
who .seemed to have had the hbuour of the Learned
Gentlenoin's personal acquaintance. (Hear, hear.)
It time House supposed this Gentleman to hate been
doing nothing but mating verses, and conversing
.with the Learned Member 'when he terpi'la Italy,
-.hey would be the dupes of the Learned Centlensan's
ignorance ors the subject. 'the plotting of the Bo-
roparte family had extended to Arilvica, and the
House would agree in thi- prudence of preventing
Lucien, the most. dangerous amongst them, and
even his son, from joining the members of their plot
is AmMica, or of being allowed to remain on the
coast with facility of escape. The Allied rowers Lid
in their lenity,• taken precautions against the other
reembets of the Bonaparte family, that they might
Oa . be driven to the necessity of protecting the world
against them by stronger measures ; and in the sound-
efts of-this policy he was not shaken-by any doubts
the Learned Gentlemen bad expressedio He (Mr.
Brougham) appeared alarmed lest therpreiene peace
slinuid continue, he could not weiellerne Speech
trom the Throne before he favoured the country with
his gloomy prophecies. That the system of Europe
must of necessity, for some time, be one of extensive
armament, was true ; for it would be unpardonable
it they were not to profit by the experience of the
last twenty years, or run the chance of having their
Pll4OOlll slumbers -some • morning broken in upon by
an enemy that should take them by surprise—(lleor.)
If Government could but protect the country from
the class of persons called Reformers, but who were
in reality Revolutionists and Disturbers, he had no
expectation of peace being interrupted from any other
quarter, and it would depend• a good deal upon these
Roomers, as they called themselves, at what time,
,all,l to what extent, a reduction in our militaryoesta-
°lido:nem shall take place. He believed it to be of
advantage that a British corps should be mixed up
with the troops of the Continent; it shewed, at least,
there were no views of individual conquest. With
respect to the two appointments of Mr. Reynolds.and
dtimaesa, .bc must tcpeatb as to tbc-formerilie

had hitard nothing of hit moral character tr, disqua-
lify him for an appointment in a distant colony of
the North, with at sal .17 of only 9 hundred pounds

ni: 1. -.. 1-t him wander about the victim ot persecu-
ti , •,..t er he had made amenis for his own error, by
soformoig.Government of tl,e desiens o' others. He
(Lord Castlereagh) was not in office vt,en Mr. Rey-
nolds rendered this service to Government, but he had
been thought well of by Lord Chichester, who ap-
point.:d him Postmaster in Lisbon in the Peninsular
war. It was on his evidence that the O'Connors had
accepted retirement from their country.-.that 53 trai-
tor.. had been incorporated in that act of banishment.
What Government knew of Mr. Reynolds was from
a Mr. Cope, a relation, a Merchant of Dublin, who
Sieving been dining with him, on their. way home
some conversation was entered into from which Mr.
Cope learnt something that he communicated to the
Government of Ireland, on condition that Mr. Rey.
nolds should not be prosecuted. Now as to Mr.
Manners, Government were not accountable for all
the previous circumstances of a man's life whom
they might employ. The appointment Mr. Manners
had received was £2OO a year in the State of Mi4iS.A.
chusets. He had been called to the Liar hy the
Society of Lincoln's Inn, after opp.no t ion had been
made to it, and the grounds of objection obviated.
So that he could see nothing improper in the appoint-
' rent. The Noble Lord, after adverting to the Ca.
droll': Question, which, he said, lie did not before
know had a hearty and decided friend in the Hon.
and Learned Member, said he never should be for-
given for preventing the efforts of traitors to sep irate
Ireland nom this country being carried into effect,
and thence he was calumniated, but he had no fear
that those who knew him would suspect him of cruelty.
En..rniiries were unquestionahlv Lt.-minted in Ire-
land ; but those who originated ~..1 enc,,uraged re
hellion there fad 'o lby the results .. in, it- consciences. I
It was unmanly and tilianeirms, atter bitting silently
for twenty year, to bring forward char,ies against a'
Minister, woo taught n' longer be able at once to go
into exculpatory particulars of the case. He had
trespassed too long on the patience of the li,u,e ;
but, after the unexpected attack which had been made,
and utter the unaerstanding out of doors that die
Motion of the HOnoutable •and Learned Member
should end in nothing more than one of those intro.
cent Resolutions which might rescue his illustrious
name tram forgetfulness, he could nut have said le,s,
and he felt it would be unpardonable in him to say
more-( Loud cheering.)
Mr. BROUGHAM explained, that in alluding to
Mr. Manners as a libeller, he had not had reference
to the case of a Finnerty v. Manners," but to that
of the a King v. Manners," which was 4 libel intru-
ding' into private and domestic life.
Sir FRANCIS BURUET r said, the Noble Lord
was mistaken hi assuming that the shocking barba-
rities committed in Ireland had not been noticed in
that House. He (Sir Francis) recollected a prOpob
sition being moved, declaring it highly inhuman and
unconstitutional to indict torture for the purpose of
extorting confessions ; but, from the pecular caarm
possessed by the Bench on the opposite side, it was
impossible to bring the House to the vote, as it was
impossible to bring it to any vote implying censure
on a person who should sit on the Bench which was
now graced by the Noble Lord. Of Reynolds the.,
Noble Lord said he knew nothing. He supposed
Reynolds, and Castles, and the rest were 44 all—all
honourable men ;" but he would relate a plain tale
of this person, for the facts wanted no declamation,
and leave the House to form an opinion for them-
selVes. The account he had received of this mast
was contained . in a letter which he should read.-- I
It stated, that Thomas Reynolds was, in 1795,
an jammer in Ireland, against persons with whom
he was associated in alleged conspiracies ; on a
trial fot one of which several persons were called
to prove the informer and witness, Mr. Key.
nolds, was not to be believed upon his. oath.—
Mr-Valentine O'Connor, a respectable merchant ut
Dublin, who was known to Lord Rendlesham and
Colonel Witherington, of the 9.h Dragoons, swore
Reynolds was not to be believed on his oath, and
added other particulars of this man's exploits and
character—(!,tear; hear.) The Noble Lord (conti-
nued Sir Francis Burdett) had,- with a strange per-
version of.moral feeling, endeavoured to excite sym
pathy for the torturers rather than the tortured. No-
body had dragged Mr. Reyholds obtrusively forward.
for the mere purpose of :hewing him off in his true
leolours ; be might have remained in the obscurity
1 best befitting him, if he had not been discovered find-
ing bills of indictment againt less lucky men than
himself. • Mr. Reynolds might therefore thank him-
self' for the exhibition Which had been made of him
ore-his tide of the House. To hold up such a person
in the way he bad been held up on the other, could
not add ,hush to that part of the strength of Govern.
1 ment which consisted in public opinion. What could
be so revolting as a gang of miscreants issuing from
a Government Office into the haunts of private mi-
sery, to entrap poverty and wretchedness into the
commission of crime ?—(Loud erica ef Hear, hear.)—
This was not suspending, but destroying the Consti-
onion. Besides these Reynolds': and Castles, ano-
ther person bad lately applied, not personally, to a
1 printer, to print some violent and inflammatory hand
bills, the copy of which the printer thought it right
to taste la .the Secretary of State's office, where he
'sawsinsavt, he did not know, but who told him to
send•the hills to Mr. Nicholls, Bennett's-hill, Black-
friars rand what; was the printer's surprise to find
out, lochs after, that the person who had given the
order for the bilk, and the person whom he met at the
Secretary of State's office, were the same!—(//ear.)
Besides the other charges against Reynolds, he (Sir
F Burdett) had been told that he was guilty of extor-
tion and unfair charges, while he was in the Post
Office at Lisbon. It had always been laid down by
the best writers; that the employment of spies was a
never-failing characteristic of an arbitrary and vicious
Government ; and though the Noble Lord might
be content, like Nero, to say of the people, A Oderirst
dum metuani," yet he might recollect, or reflection":
might teach him, that "firaininuent isaperiam gas obe,
theater gaming," and that a Government could have
no real stability hot in the affecilons of its subjects.
:If we were to hate a Standing -1:rilly, if we were to
ihavel-Military Goverment (an apprehension which
was now pretty fully realized, for nothing was to be
seen but soldiery in all directions), there wire indeed
I the gteatcsrappreheasion that mil thing Pata:C the

will of another was a situation little better than death ;
but it Was much worie to stand 1.1 hoi,rly danger of
solitary contit.erm tit it the caprici; or malice of a Mi.
nister i.f. State—to be cu tiff 'rum all friends and ac-
quaintance, and to leave them in utter ignorance of
our fate. Here a man had been seventeen weeks in
pm.in, who had ..);:en tar al tip, ironed, and emote,-
ed to Lancaster ga.il, for no other reason, but because
he had beer. promoting a Petition for Reform in 1).41
liament. If this were treasons let Ministers dccl ire so
at once, and let us no longer be duped by the empty
sound o! Allegiance to the King. To who:.!suever
Ministers thought ilia,. al:cgiance due, at least they
crig;:texplicltly to declare, ti.-4.1 cienly shew the rule
by e.li.nd: in future we are to hold our lives and liberties.
Tile most ar!;itrary tyrant that ever existed could no.
he gu.lty (.f the gross iii]ustice of punishing for of.
fences whicit had never bz....n declarri to he such.--
Let Ministers.then d.!clate at oace, that it should be
high treason to promote Reform in Parliament, and
we should know at once what we had to trust to.—
The Hon-nirable Baronet concluded by observing,
that his Honourable and, Learned Friend's Mutit.a
would not have been brought forward on the last
day of the-Session, unless Ministers bad themselves
'nought fit to hasten tt!e prorogation—Wear, hcar )
, and that lie had repeatedly given them n- tice of his
nitenti n, so that. the Noble Lard had no i ight to
complain on that ground. Tl.ere were, indeed, many
Motions yet undosposed ,if, and in particular, one of
nis (the licti-orroble Baronet's), which liai been
.iriven 01F from day to day, arid which fie was now
prevented from bringing forward ; so that there was
gr at reason to complain that the Session had beer
improperly hurried to a dose. But his m..in object
in rising that evening was to contradict the assisrtitnis
made in I ivour of the character of Reynolds the
informer.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL contended that
Mr. Reynolds had been believed by three Juries, end
that it was net his own doing but oa mg to the Sum-
moning Officer that he was on the Grand Jury, nem
which he wanted to be excused. _t Castica.
mein knew nothing until a mi.nth atter the .2J of De-
cember, and upon his steteurent, connected with other
circumstances, Government would not have bete
justified it they had not tried the late State Prisoners.
It there had been any thing in the other libel cause
against Mr. Manners, he wondered it was not brought
forward when he was called to the Bar. It was not
surprising, that when Government had found Mr.
Manners called to the Bar, that they should have ap-
pointed him to a situation which they supposed him
Able to fulfill. His moral character was not inn-
peached by his having been found guilty ot the libel
alluded to ; neither did his character, as a Gentleman,
suffer Item it any injury. As to Reynolds, he heard
noVeing against his character, save the charges which
Were made against him b) the other side of the House;
The Hteiouteibie Gemiemaii opposite held up this
man es iit.t fit fu to trusted, tor whom, however, tie
coulu say, that he conferred upon the Government
ot Ireland many lair, vutuous, and bohourAbie see.
vices. The characters of spies were too much re-
proached, and he thought that the slandeis hid)
were flung upon them would be productise or great
evil. Establish once the doctrine that spies Were in-
famous, and with that doctrine *mild. be established
also universal impunity. Their testimony, it was
acknowledged, ought to be received with due caution,
but when it was corroborated, and was supported also
by probability, it ought to be acted upon.
Lord CASTLEREAGH, in explanation, said,
that when Mr. Manners first applied to be mice to
the Bar by the Society of Lincoitee Inn, an objection
was made that he had been the author or a libel.—
But the objection was fully discussed by the Bencherse
and it was decided that the libel did not derog etc from
his moral character, or from his character as it -Gen-
tleman, and he was accordingly called to the Bar:
Mr. BENNETT said he would not have offered
himself to the attention of the House at this late hour,
it it had not been for some observations made by time
Noble Lord opposite. The Noble Lord had accused
come persons of
,being abettors of treason, and mai-
lignalit accusers of Goverument. If the Noble Lord
meant to include him among those persons, he re.
• yelled the insinuation with sewn, and professed, that
as long as he had a seat in that House. such unwor-
thy imputations would never for a moment prevent
:him hum criticising the conduct of Government.
'When he saw the people depoiied of their rights and
'liberties, he could not look en without indignation,
'and he was sore that tire future historian, when tra-
cing the annals of these day.s, will shudder at their
unmixed blackness. _ He, for one, could riot detach
from the remembrance of the powers conferred by
the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, the abuse
which was made of similar powers in Ireland. It was
not-the first time that these charges against the Irish
Government were made in the House. The former
Member for Cork had repeated them over and over
again, and with an earnestness and an enthusiasm
wincheilways produced a strong impression—(Hear).
He promised, that if a Committee were granted next
Session, these charges wows' be established. The
Hon. Gentleman then oberved upon the cruelties in-
flicted in 179 S upon a poor Irish schoolmaster, merely
for having a French note in his possession, which Sir
Thomas Judkin Fitzgerald did not understand, and
which, when it was afterwards translated for him,'
turned out to be a trifling request on s, me trifling
business. The Hon. Gentleman here read the deposi-
tiOtt also of John Clare, of Essex-street, Dublin, the
principal averment of which was, that he had known
torture to have been inflicted on various persons in
the-Castle-yard, and that it must have been known
to Lord Castlereagh that pitched caps were bound
on the heads of several persons, and that torture aas
inflicted even in the open streets, on the Custom-
house Quay and Ormond Quay. The deponent
furtber said, that he was solicited, to give testimony
against United Irishmen, for which be was offered
a Commission in the Army, and that, upon his an-
swering that he knew nothing about them, he was
publicly flogged—that he received 100 'allies, and
that to punish him still more, the wounds Were !tete
bed with. salt and gunpowder. (Hear, hear. p\---
The Honourable Gentleman would spare hiS coon
leglinAs and those of the House, from steering any
thing further of these atrocities.. He would ask, what
credit was due to 'the mein upon whose inforalei,ipa
these punishments were applied t Reynolds had tag if

The Noble Lord at the head of the Home Depart•
tnent had before thatea correspondence with a Ma.
gistrate about him, and the fact was, this spy had
only been kept back fur another opportunity. Ac to
Oliver, he was astnnished that that Noble Lord would
have suffered bun to go round the country, absolutely
seeking whom he could devour. It the same clinics
to s imulate the people had been made in 18:2 a, in
1817, he believed the consequences would have bee.:

Lord CAS ILEItLAGH rose, and begged the
indulgence cf the.bleuse for a few inc.ments, is he
thought that it was a duty incumbent upon him to
defend himself from the imputations which had been
rust thrown out against his character. He wineldent
the tiro place, ask the Hon. Gentlernee whether
those a:hdevits from'which he had reed extracts had
not been d to him from Mr. Fineetty ? The
iusinuetions wliten th, y co..veyed he would scarcely
contradict, so f..riagit to ins na ine did he ever feel
them to be. Tae Noble Lord then entered itito a
history of his prosecution Mr. Finnerty sou a libel,
and of Mr. Fintrerty's conduct on that occasion, and
said that it was in consequence of this prosecution
that this iudividuel had been prompted to toilect
no fewer than one hundred affidavits of the kind
now read, charging ham with every cruelty which
could be committed. He denied that he was ever
present at the infliction of say poniehnsent, except in
one instance, where a man belonging to his own
regiment was concerned, aid here osiiitery discipline
comp( lied him t t attend. At the same time, he ad-
mitted that flogging had been used; and if it had
not, the sword should in the end have considerably
diminished the population of Ireland.
Mr. H. ADDING TON said, that his Noble Re.
idiot: never knew Castle until the beginning Of J 4.
nuary last. As to Oliver, he must say, teat he be.
Hewed him to be a greatly mimed mai. —Wear, hear,

ver examined, in order that it shouts' be seen whether
he was insteunientel ie producing the late disturbenee.
Their request was crimper, d with. Oliver was exa-
mined at the linme Odice. Th 0,..! two Magistrates
took the examinations themselves, and the result
that they were compl: tely •atisfied that the Charges
made against Oliver vale utterly unfounded.. He
stated .iso, that Oliver was sent into the cetnitry on
a special mission. Liformetien sees qc.ised freers

extend beyond ten dr elev, n days He never asked
any reward— he'nsedi tio terms—and uge to tee'pre-

Mr. BA RH Alvi supported the motion, and said,
that the Court before which Mr. Olivet *as tried Vi4S

Lord COCI-tRANE said, that all the ci:mplaints
which were made against the peopit• were heard, and
