CM ON GOOD HOPE.

Mr. BARING said, that he had a Petition to present
(tons a number of respectable inhabitants of the Cape.
of Good Hope, respecting the administration of that
Colony ; but, as he had a few days since stated his sen-
timents on the presentation of a similar Petition, he
should rot then take up the time of the House,by going
as any length into the subject. The Petition 'alluded
to the circumstance of the arbitrary suppression of the
only Newspaper in the Colony, to the Colonists not
being allowed to call any meeting whatever; and it op-
prated from everything, that hitherto the Government
of the Cape was one of the most vigilant despotism,
and that there was no possibility of doing anything
there which had for its object the calling, in the least
degree, in question the conduct of Government. He
knew th re was a great difference of opinion with re..
spect to the liberty of the press being conceded to the
Colonies ; but he also *bought that there was no one
who would go the length of saying. that any Colony
could remain in such a state u the Cape of Good Hope.
All be would say with respect to the Petition was, chit
it cline from respectable persons, who were neither ca-
pable of misrepresentation or of any personal !motility
against the Governor. Indeed. they had expressly de-
sired to separate their case from that of Mr. flishop
Burnett, and of every other individual who bid peti-
tioned against the Governor personally. Hera tfie.Hon.
Gentleman read an entice from the Petition, in which
the Petitioners alluded to the suppression of the only
Newspaper published in the Colony, with the exception
of the Govemewei Giteetie, and complained that the
Government had given a positive refusal to permit the
fotmation of a literary society, althilugh din had hien
solicited so to do by a number of meet respectable per,
sons, amongst whom were the Chief Justice, the dodge
Adv'. cate, and others.
The Petition was thee breestit ap and teed. (M the nwslenthee

Mr. HUME said, that the present et pottornt7 wa-
ged the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. W. Horton) to
correct what he mentioned the other night, namely,
that Mr. Gregg was not banished from ;be. Cape of

seized). it afterwards appeared, by a subsequent letter
from the.Frsetli that. as he saw that Air. Gregg's types.
am were advertised for sale, the warrant for his banish•
ment from the Colony should be witbdrawr. it would
be at once seen, however, that the reasoning pounded
upon this was fallacious, as Mr. Gregg wee obliged to
come to England to seek redress, and be (Mr. Hume)
thought that Mr. Gregg suffered full as notch, ea if the
original order had remained in full force. If, as be
understood was likely, the House would sit soar* time
logger, be would bring the subject di-tinctly and *pa-
rtway before them. As to the state of the Colony, the
Report of the Commissioners admitted, that, by the
concentration of all power in t' e Governor, that of
adding to the debt, levying taxes at his discretion, the
appellate jurisdiction, and the power of removing. per,
sons from thetolony—in st.ort, in every page, there
was enough to prove the necessity of inquiry. Even
now he thought, that in what was to be done. it might
be a waste of time to look too much to the pot, and
the object should be future improvement. Thathe ex 7
petted would have been the case in the motion which
an Hon. Friend behind him (Mr. Loathe) was to have
brought on. After a few other observations, the Hon.
G-atemen concluded by hoping, that the Right, Hon.
Gentleman (Mr. W. Horton) would. give the sulkiest
particular attention.
Mr. W. HORTON begged to observe, that, with
respect to the charge which had been swede against the
Government of the. Cape, respecting the. suppression
of a newspaper, it was entirely groundless, as that
suppression was the act of the Government at home.
That would appear from the papas. already before the
House, and which were then in process of printing.
He thought it was most unfair to attribute to the Go-
vernor all those arbiti ary proceedings which belonged
to the system and to. the situation of the Cape of. Good
Hope. (Here the.e was considerable interruption, and,
indeed, the noise throughout was such as to render the
speaker very inaudible.) The Right Hon. Gentleman
proceeded to say, that whatever might be the iadispo-
'Won of Honourable Members to hear more of this
subject, it was of the utmost importance that the Colo-
nists should understand that their interests lam attended
to here, and that they were not treated with neglect.
Tie Commissioners who were sent out were intrusted
with a power to introduce such alterationd into the
practice at tl e Cape of Good. Hope, as would meet the
wishes of the HMI. Gentleman who pr: sensed the peti-
tion. It was also the opinion of his Noble Friend, the
present Secretary for the Colonies, and he had directed
hien:(Mr. W. Horton) to say so, that, if it were not for
Use sending out of that Commission by his Noble Pre-
decessor, the benefits already derived, and theoevidence

pier a kw words from Mr. W. Saws,
Mr. FLUME complained, that the Government of
Lord Charles Somerset had depreciated the currency at
the Cape of Good Hope. He did not complain of hit
Maje.ty's Government at home, for he doubted not tha
they had every disposition to establish a soundund fix
currency. He wished to know whether or not it truth
intention again to send out Lord Charles Somerset,
what was proposed to be done with reference to the Gal
vernment of that Colony?
Mr. W. HORTON said, the Hon. Member must be
aware that a motion stood for that evening, the object
of which would be to bring the whole subject under the
(consideration of the House. The matter had been taken
out of the hands of the executive Government, andhe
was, therefore, entirely unprepared to say what course
might be taken.
After some remarks from Mr. F. PAOLO% and a further obese.
cation from Mr. °W. gloms",
Mr. WARBURTON said, that he knew it to be a
fact, that so long as it was apprehended that Lord
Charles Somerset would be again sent out to the Cape,
to long they would be without witnesses to substantiaee
the case against him. It was, therefore, no matter of
surprise that Hon. Gentlemen should be so slow to bring
forward the proposed measure.
Mr. A. BARING observed, that the petitioners were

The SPEAKER said, that Hon. Members were in

Mr. WHITfdORIL cohdensned the Bill, as involving
an esseotial departure froth the liberal principles laid
dolts early In the Session by the Right Hon. Gentle-
man. He was anxious that the system which the Right
Hon. Gentleman bad adopted should be persevered in,
and was extremely sorry to me this symptom of rata.

Mr. MIME said, that the chase complained of in
the Bill was a very great innovation, and altogether a
isparture from the principles of the Right Hon. Gent.

said, that in a general measure vested interests ought to
be protected as attach as possible.
Mr. WARBURTON thought that the objections of
the merchants of London to concessions of this nature
beght to be attended to, as they mfght hereafter be
made the ground for farther concessions. The Right
lion. Gentleman had made out ne case for the clause.
Vested interests had been talked of, but it had not yet
been shewn that any vested interests existed here. In
point of fact, the clause introduced new articles, instead
of protecting vested rights.
Mr. LIDDELL said he should not have addresied
the House had he not taken so large a share in the dis-
cussion respecting the shipping interest. In the report
upon which the change its our Angirtion Laws had
been founded, and whitil Wes so often alluded to in that
House, there would be found to prevail a manifest
dread lest the proposed changes should be productive
of some mischief;. and die Report recommended intent
modifications, if their fears should Ore* colteet. It
had been. said tbat the Right HAI. Gentleman had
made out no ease. He (Mr. Liddell), however, thought
that as it was clear that the existence of the Mercantile
marine of Erigland was essential to the prosperity of the
country, and as this measure would in some degree re-
lieve the distress under which it at present unfortunately
laboured, it could hardly be said that no case bad been
made out.

Mr. BENETT hoped that the Right Hte Gebt.

into effect, as far as possible, without injuring lasted

sation of his, having departed from the principles which
pecifisittl was unjust.
Mr. Aldiaman WAlTflfdAN said, that right as the
Eight Hon. Gentleman's principles might be, be thought'l
that he was rather chargeable with having gone too far,
than not far enough. toe primiplis of free trade could
never be carried fully into effect. without a considerable
reduction in taxation. He felt it his duty to support thi,

Sir T. D. ACLAND regretted that his Hon. Friend
had, in the present Bill, departed from the principle of,
his former Bill. Within a very few days, his Hon.,
Friend had introduced a clause, the effect of which was
to make marriage altogether a civil contract. To th 4
he could not 'consent'; and he wished his Honourable
Friend would postpone the third reading for a day or'

t Mr. W. SMITH, in reply, contended th .t this Act

the passing of Lord Hardwieke's Act in the year 17,52,

proposal of the Hon. Baronet (Sit T.D. Acland), if he
• t that by . portponing the consideration of The

Sir C. WEtHERELL opposed the" Bill, because he

of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman (Sir C. Wetherell)

As soon as Mr. Baounstase rose to return thanks, the
company rose as one man, and gave him three times
see cheers. When they had subsided, there was a
tall for Kr: Brougham to mount the table, but he
good in his place. and addressed the elating to the
fnllowing effect r—He assnted them that he used no or-
dinary nor common-Place form of expression, when he
told them, as he now did, with the utmost sincerity,
that he felt completely overpowered by the very great
kindness which they had just evinced towards him.—
(Here his emotions caused the Learned Gentleman to
punt.) When he came to their meeting of that day, it
was impossible for him not to recollect that the present
was far from the first time of his appearing among
them. In truth it so chanced that hit public life was
begun in connexion with the town of Liverpool, and
that he had the high honour of recollecting that the
first time he erir appeared to support the interests and
maintain the righta,of any portion of his fellon-cOun-
trymen, was in connexion with the interests and the
rights of their greatincl populous, and consent:rail city.
(Cheers.) Ile afterviards had the singular fitieity of
being enabled to return in a small degree thefavour
which he, then in the outset of his public and profes-
sional life, received at their hands, when in the year
1812, leading on their forcer to the attack; he hid the
satisfaction of defeating: what they then teckqned, and
which experience bad since proved to be, to say the least
of it, for he Wished not to revive onpleisant recollec-
tioos of by-gone events, an unhappy specimen if Mis-
taken policy,—(ilear.) The consequence of , that con.
onion led to one of the most interesting events in his
public life—he nieant the oftener( on which et their
call he had cane forward as a candidate for the (finite-
.
guished honour of representing thins in the mm in
of Parliament; and it was one of the most sin.
gular fortunes which ever befel any man, that he should
now for the first time, except professionally that day
in Court, since the year 1812, when they had fought
the good fight together is many gallant fields that
he should now, after the lapse of fifteen years, so long
a portion of human etistence, meet them again in
that place that diY, bat under cirOnriatatides so vety
ingulAr—so, he would not say, opposite, in, a per-
sonal point of view, though they certainly were dif-
ferent, much less oeeosite in. respect to public prin.
Oples,—that he really did not knOw where he should
commence the deseraptiOn of them; Or, when* had
oncecommenced it, where he should stop. (Here con-
Utterable interruption was given to Mr. Bitioghern by
the noi.e made by some norktnen in opening the win-
dows to ventilate the room, which was excessively hot
from the numbers collected in it. The audience loudly
tainted on their desisting.; but they went on, regardless

proceeded.) He was sure that nothing which he could
tell them would be half so easeful-as what those persons
up stairs were doing for theitn--(A laugh.) They were
then assembled under eiredmstances so diffikrent as to
persons, though not in the smallest degree, he would
venture to assert, different as to public principles, thaton
so fruitful a topic he was incapable of decidingswhae he
should begin, and—what was, perhaps, equally impor-
tant—where he should end. It was then, as most
of them would recollect,—:such of them as were
too young to recollect .would have heard' the fact
from their friends,—it was then his. lot to be a

conduct bf that. illisstrious Statesman,--any poi...
arrangement which had been approved of by that great
and enlightened and immortal English patriot—(Great
cheering)—any thing even of which he could not see
the reason, or could only half see it, and that dimly.
and as it were in a glass darkly, and which from not
seeing to its foundations he might be disposed not to
condemn, brit to question,—all and every thing, if it
had received authority from him, by his giving it the
sanction of his glorious name, be whom he (Mr. B.)
venerated, emery thing but worshipped,—to whose
memory he tendeied all that risen Could tender to Ills
telloW creature—the veneration dile to the belt, the most
enlightened, and the most unshrhiting friend of the
people—(Cheers)—any measure, he repeated, approved
and authorized by such a mathwintld,where he could not
see the reasm_of it, obtain his silent but respectful ac-
quiescence. Nevertheless, the difteuffy which he con-
feised himself to etperienie on that subject, was ex-
perienced by the country also in 1784, when it saw Mr.
Fox and his friends, on the very morrow after the day
on which they had been engaged in a long and bitter
party and personal contest with Lord North and his
friends, suddenly desist from their operations of attack,
adopt a different course, and coalesce with the very
liaise Minister on whose head they had not. indeed,
heaped coals of fire as the common phrase runs, but on
whose head they, had poured out all the vials of their
*wrath. until they had made the whole country as one
on detest and abhor him —(Flearl. When, under such
ntrAtantes, the country suddenly, and without
witnessing any addition to, or subtraction Pram, the
Members of either side, except that the Duke of Portland
was made Prime Minister, and had a seat given him
in the Cabinet over the heads of North and Fox—when
the country, he said, saw a coalition suddenly struck
up between the Parliamentary gladiators of each party
without any adequate cause alleged for it, it was a
coalition, of which, as it could not understand the mo-
tives which had given rise to it, it thoroughly and
heartily disapproved. He confessed for his own part,
that if he had then had a seat in Parliament. though he
should have given his vote with Mr. Fox, he should have
given it more as a tribute to that great man's authority,
than as the result of his own private and unbiassed
judgment—(Cheers). But what possible comparison
could there be instituted between the circumstances
which gave rise to the coalition of 1784 and those which
gave rise to the coalition of 1827 ?—(Hear). There
was in the latter case no personal animosity between
the parties to it, splitting the country and Parlia-
ment itself for years: on the contrary, there was as
interchange of courtesies rather than of hostilities
prevailing. Every one great public question, save,
one_perhaps the greatest of them all, but still not the
only questiol—eveiy one public measure of importance,
whether involving our foreign, or colonial, or domestic
policy, the state of our relations with other countries, or
with our own people, and the policy we should pursue
as to peace and war—all the great commercial ques-
tions relative to our intercourse with the new States of
Anserica, the great questions of reform at home, into
all our institutions, save that of Parliament—each and

all of these various important questions, instead of se-
parating, only brought the two parties nearer together;
and they had not even thought of coalescing, they had
not even thought of taking one step towards a junction,
they had not even meditated on the ordinary and neces-
sary means to promote an union, till each of them, in
their own respective spheres, and in bothC h a mbers of Par-
liament, had been acting for some time hand and heart
together, to defeat, to discomfit, and utterly to destroy
the coasmun enemy of national independence —(Loud
cheers): Be believed, that before the events happened
which to the elevation of Mr. Canning to the high
place in the Government at home, which he had now
filled for some ydars, it must have been known to them
all. that so uncomfortable did be feel himself among his

late colleagnes,—so little could he unite with those who
were, considered the leading Members among them,—tio
entirely did he differ fro asLord foi verpool on that greatest
of all great home questions, the question of religious
liberty—(Lmad cheers),—so utterly. did he differ, from
the other Noble Lord who was the leader of the Mi.

natty in the }rouse of Parliament to which be (Mr.
Canning) belonged, on that most important of all
questions, in which, either as Englishmen or as men.
we all engage our feelings and our principles, he
meant the gauss of civil liberty all over the world—
(Cheers)—so utterly was be at variance with one
Noble Lord on all great questions of domestic policy,
and with the other Noble Lord, his own immediate
superior in the House of Commons, on all great goes-
tiont of foreign policy, that he thought —for he , knew
it not, and in making his thoughts known, he betrayed
no secrets; he violated no confidence—he thought it
required no great ingenuity, no egregious winard to
discover,, that Mr. Canning's design of going to India,
for the government of which he was destined at the
time of Lotd Londonderry's death, and where„he in-
tended to have passed, if not the residue of his life, the
better past of those years which still remained to him
in the, ordinary course of nature, was mainly, if not,
entirely, owing to that radical, deeply-rooted, and

important victories for the amelioration of their country
and mankind--(Cheers).—Now let the Meeting redect
how far Mr. Canning and his friends differed from the
Whigs collectively, or from,him (Mr. Brougham) as an
individual member of that body, opposing the Admi.
' nistration as he did generally, and yet yielding to some
of thek measures a partial, and when he' could, not a
reluctant assent. Did they differ at all? No such thing.
On the contray, on all those mighty occasions, for the
cause of the country, for the cause of liberty, and for
the general cause of mankind, the,/ and he 'tam seen
fighting side by side—(Cheers.) And was shwa awy
thing so very extraordinary in a little time having.been
taken, after an hidividuat had acceded to the Govern-
ment under the peculiar circumstances under whith Vs.
Canning acceded en it—was there any thing, so very
extraordinary that Mr., Canning did not begin all at
once ?—it would have been better if he had begun all at
once, as he had, taken the liberty of telling him
.at ,the
time in his place in Parliament, box so tong as meAmtege
men, there would be feelings in their bosoms as to persons
with whom they had been tong and intimately associated;,
nor were those feelings to be reprobated as unamiable
in their foundation, provided that .they were nQt carried
ton far by indulgence,—was there, be would again ask,
any thing so very extraordinary in his not breaking
squares all at once upon every great national question
with those very men whom accident alone, had, made
his colleagues ? Accordingly, it was not in the first year
after the Marquis of Londonderry's death, though even
in th it time sufficient evidence transpired of an inten-
tion to effect a change in the foreign policy of the
country, but in the second or third year after it, that
the nation felt itself re-invigorated by the knowledge
iliac it was under the guidance of new men reinforced
by the old—" we being the old men," said Mr.
Brougham, " and Mr. Canning and his friends thr
new ;"--and that they were letting it free from the de-
grading, the disgraceful, and, he would add, the disgust-
ing captivity to the despots of the Continent, in which,
udder a former dynasty—for he must use that word—it
had been chained fast to the car of the Holy Alliance,

(Immense cheering). Was there, he would ask, any one
question more interesting to the country since the ter-
mination of the war than this? Perhaps it was one as
important as could be imagined to mankind in general,
and it was gifted with a peculiarly touching interest to
this country—he meant the great'question of the recog-
nition of the colonial independence of the late Spanish,
Settlements in America—(Hear). if he were to go over
the history of that question, he thought that he could
prove beyond all dispute, that had the former men and
the former principles been suffered to predominate to
the present time, they would have had this country, if
sot in alliance with Spain to restore her colonies by force
of our fleets and armies to her yoke, than which nothing
Vould be more unjust andoppressive—if not engaged in
war on the side of Spain and its legitimate Monarch.
at least the reluctant witness of an independence
`she would not acknowledge; and if at the eleventh
lboar the cries of the country had compelled it rulers
reluctantly to acknowledge the independence of those
colonies from Spain, it would have been at so late a
period in her history as to have been of .no service to
her interests—(Hear, hear). Our children's children
might have reaped the fruits of it, but it would not have
been till all the other nations of the world had first re-
cognised the independence of Spanish America, and had
entered into treaties of alliance with its different States,
whereby British interests would have been compromised,
if not absolutely destroyed—(Cheers). Instead of this,
England, under new auspices, and a be:ter and a more
enlightened system, had obtained the proud and im-
mortal:glory of being the first to acknowledge their
freedom and independence—(Great cheering). He
could not help adverting on this occasion to another
important public question, which, though it was of a
very delicate nature, and one on which he should not
say a word to an unenlightened multitude, be felt that
he m;ght safely notice there. There was Abe same
difference of policy observable in V e conduct of the
former men and of the present, with respect to the laws
affecting corn—laws which affect not only the trade of
the country, but also the interest and the subsistence,
and the sacred rights of every individual among the
poorer classes in it—laws, which involve in their eery
first principle the great and important question, whether
the poor man shall have bread for his sustenance at a
reasonably cheap price, and whether he shall be allowed,
to lice on the bounty of P4OVIDENCt, without paying
more for it in the sweat of his brow than either his.
strength vrou'd endure, or his patience permit him to
pay ?—(cirestt cheering.) He could pot help feeling that
those statesmen who wished to act liberally by England
and by Europe, and who had freely acknowledged the
independence of Spanish America, rejoicing and parti-
cipating in the felicity which they dispensed around
them—he could not help feeling that those very states-
men mosvhave, been, the men who had introduced the
present measure to amend the Corn Laws. He shrewdly
suspected that *rise Of their former colleagees, who,
now that they were out of office, would not lend their
support to the Bill which, they had .pledged themsejses,i
whim in office to cam, through Parliament, were not'
the authors of it—(Hear, hear.) He Msought that the,
members of the late Administration now in office were,
alone the parents di' ;'for if their late colleagues shared,
'the pOtentaib of it, they' could not be considered all
thing that kind lion to• it which parents generally
sheaved to their own offspria,g,—(4. laugh).. He was
now speaking on the anniversary of a day when it,
became him to tape's the utmost gratitude which he
felt to the illustrious'Warrior, who, twelve years ago.,
had led the military relations of the poorer classes to the
most glorious victory recorded in our annals.--(Grest
cheering.) He wished to express the sincere gratitude]
which he felt towards that distinguishedcaptain for all the
manifold Iryices which he had rendered to,his country,
and for which, though it had paid him largely, it could
never pay hini too well—(Hear, hear). Still he could not
help, feeling as he did for the NE:risk Dukes fame and
character, which he now.lpoked upon as public property.
be could not help, he. said, expre.sing a wish, but with
of,kjodnrssi'and respect, that his Grace had

that they had in their profound wisdom disco-
vered a more useful exercise of their many and rare
endowments than that which they had recently displayed
before their astonished countrymen. At all events, those
of their former colleagues who continues' in the Go-
vernment, whether they gave up the Boil for the present
in despair, or whether they pursued the wiser and the
more philosophical part, to take what they could get,
even to the frustration of their own darling object, keep-
ing it as they could, so as not to lsse that little mite
which the Lords of the S!cession, in their infinite bounty,
were willing to grant to their poorer countrymen—.
whichever course they took, he thought the Meeting
must admit, that those statesmen were the best and
steadiest friends of their country who first advocated,
and then strenuously persisted in supporting, •in spite
of all opposition, a sounder system for the regulation
of the trade in corn---(Cheers).--Now, would the

Meeting permit him. after the long state neat which
'he had already made 'to them, to ask whether, if
upon all questions of foreign, domestic, and colo-
nial policy, and upon the grand question of improv-
ing the civil and criminal jurisprudence-of England,—
to say nothing of an infinite variety •of minor pointy,
on which, after the multitude of figures which he
had already ventured to introduce upon the can-
vass, he was unwilling to say a word,—woulki the
Meeting permit him to ask any man of common
candour, whether the mambo, upon all the great goer
tions to which he had been just :Wading, had been vot-
ing together for the last four or five years:a..who had
been night after night fighting on the saint side, end
against the same political enemies, the old Mini-stets--
who had known no firmer allies than the present new
Ministers, and known no ether enemies•than the old
Ministers—who had given to, and received from, she
new Ministers efficient assistance and support--would
the Meeting allots, him,he said, to ask.whether any thing
could be more natural than that there should at length
be made, between those two parties, that coalition which
had astonished none but the most inattentive observers
of the events of the last three or four years P—(Ch- ers).
He called on the Meeting to observe the situation into
which his Majesty and-Mr. Canning, with the few cola
leagues who adhered to him, were recently thrown. A
secession took place; all the Lords of the secession, being
six or seven in number, simultaneously, by tome acct.
dent or other, threw up their offices in disgust. What
was the reason of their conduct it became him not, neither
was it necessary for his argument, to inquire. They had
left office—the Ministry was thus half vacant—it was,
in point of fact, broken up, and it became necessary to
re-model and re-construct it: The question then was—
how should it be re-modelled and reconstructed ? Now,
he was not one of those who ventured to abuse those
Noblemen who had quitted their places. He was glad
that they had done so, and would not question the eight
of shy man to act in a similar manner, if he so thought
fit. He had had the great and singular satisfaction of
heating in the two Houses of Parliament to which the
illustrious individuals respectively belonged, the expla-
nation of their motives for resigning office, which had
been given by the two most distinguished members ef the
late Administration—he alluded to the late Right Hon.
Secretary for the Home Department and to the Most
Noble the late Master-General of the Ordnance and
the Commander-in-Chief of his Majesty's forces. Ht
never in his life,—and he spoke it not merely as a polia
titian but as a critic—as a person who had now had
some slight experience in public speaking—who had
heard most of the great masers of eloquence to modern
tittles, and read and studied the great masters of it ip
former times, and who had attended not a brie to what
constituted eFcellence in orators and oratory—he never
iii his life heard a more plain, manly, frank, and sol-
dierly explanation of public conduct than he had had
the satisfaction of hearing from the Duke of Wel-
lington—(Great cheers). He completely dispersed all
the cloud which had hung over his resignation—he took
away at once and for ever the film which appeared to dim
the splendour of his public character—he satisfied every
impartial and unprejudiced man that he had a right to
act as he did, and that he was above employing any
mean. paltry. And unjustifiable excuse to defend him-
self-s4Cheers.) He.did not agree with his Grace in the
view which he took of our foreign policy, neither did
he agree pith him upon the question on which he weng
out-,-..he meant the Catholic Question. He teroiced that
he bad gone out,. because be believed thit it would be
for the good of the country ; but as to theanotives which
he had stated for resigning his posts, and the colour
which .he had given to the transaction, he (Mr
Brougham) had never heard anything more satisf at-
tory—(Cheers.) He would make the same decimation
with respect to the explanation that was given in the
House of Commons by the late Secretary for ti e Home
Department, with whom, he did not differ in op Mon on
one question in fifty; a Gentleman who had already con.
ferred great benefit on his country; who, if he were in
error on one particular point, had kept a steady, and con.
sistent, and conscientious course in adhering to it. and
who had never Aincbea from the duty of his si nation,
difficult alit was for him co pet form it, being as he was
the champion of the High Church Tory party, and the
chosen representative of the University of Oafotd.—
(Great cheering.) He thought that that Right. Hon.
Gentleman had already rendered great and important
services to. his country; on the jurisprudence of the
country, he was an improver,—he had almost said a
reformer.—(Hear, hear.) if he bad been longer in
office, he believed that he would •have become even
more so. He hoped that he (Mi. Peel) would live long
enough to come back to office, improved by being out
of office ; for, as some precious liquors gained in value
by being exposed to the sun of an Indian voyage, so
other liquors, of equal price, of which there was.sifte
slight knowledge entertained in Liverpool, were sat
gain in flavour by the bleak exposure of an Arctic
regiono-(A laugh).—He trusted that the Right Hon.
Gentleman would not have visited the Polar regions of
Opposition in vain, and that be would come back to
office the determined improver of our domestic system
of jurisprudence. His explanation was as satisfactory
is that of the other Noble Personage whoiti he had al-
luded to, and he had pleasure in making that public
avowal of his opinion—(Cheers).—With respect to the
• ,her Noble Personages of the Secession, they had not
condescended to make any explanation at all; lie was,

toed, in consequence of Ale results which had ems-

part, but only a temporary alienation of that excellent
juJgment of what was their own personal inte-
rest. which, during all thelormet period of their live-,
had regulated and inspired their public conduct—
(Laughter and cheers). He most say of one of the
Members of that secession, he meant that individual
who was a great light to the profession to which he
(Mr. Brougham) belonged, the late Lord Chancellor,—
that he believed that his Lot dship,did not intend to hold
the office long. He believed that his Lordship intended
to resign at the period which he had stated—(A laugh);
and he (Mr. Brougham) should be an ungrateful
man to say one word against him now that he was
out of power, since no one had better means of
knowing and feeling the kind disposition of the Lord.
Chancellor to him personally and professionally—
(Laughter). He could assure them of the truth of what
lie was just saying—(Laughter continued). He assured
thew that he spoke seriously, and was serious in the. as-
sertion which he had just made—(A laugh, and cries of
hear.") He saw that a great error prevailed among
the company, and he was most anxious to correct it.—
lie was saying seriously, that as a professional man,
he did not own any thing but obligation to the late
Lord Chancellor, and that those who said to the
contrary knew nothing whatever of the fact. The
best proof that he could give the meeting that he was
serious in what he now said, was his solemn declaration,
that it would be most unjust to the late Lord Chan-
cellor to let the error which prevailed among them go
forth to the world uncontradicted—(Hear). He had
had an opportunity before the recent Ministerial changes
took place, of havihg a silk gown, and he had de-
clined, from personal considerations, accepting it.—lt
had beefs said by people who knew nothing of the pro-
Cession, that he was to get .5,0001. a year by his late
elevation to a silk gown. That was not the fact, nor any
thing in the slightest degree like it—it would rather be
a loss to isim, from making several of his juniors
at once his competitors. On the late Ministerial
changes, he had again had a silk gown offered to him,
and had again declined it, because be felt thatby accept-
ing it immediately after the resignation of thelateLord
Chancellor, he should be giving currency to the report
that his Lordship had stood in the way of his proles-
at
onal promotion. Tice answer which he had then re-
ceived from the present Lord Chancellor was, that the
case was quite different from what it was formerly—
that Mr. Scarlett, from being appointed Attorney-Ge-
neral, could no longer go the Nosthern Cii cuit—that the
Northern Circuit could no longer be left without King's
Counsel; and his Lordship concluded by asking him whe-
ther he would allow six of his juniors to be placed above
his head at one step, when he had the power to prevent
'it ? Under such circumstances he had consented to ac-
cept a silk gown, though he should positively lose by the
change; for instead of succeeding to the notorious and
undisputed lead of the Northern Circuit. such as Mr.
Scarlett had it, he should succeed to it along with_ six
othei competitors. He repeated that it was no fault of
the late Lord Chancellor that he had not had a silk
gown. He had formerly refused it from circumstances
of a personal nawie, and he had now accepted it to
prevent his falling below his due rank in his profession,
owing to the great number of King's Counsel who had
been recently made out of men, of some of whom the
PrOtession were absolutely asking who they were-
-41-tear.) Having in the course of his political life
been a ;peat political antagonist of the Lord Chan-
cellor, he crald not allow the eriot which he saw pre-
vailed among them to pass any longer without contradic-
tion and refutation. He would now return to the sub-
ject on which he had been ~taking before he had ?en-
sured on his late digressio.i. lie could speak as a
etea• observer of all the proceedings of the late coalition.
Ile thought that nobody knew the history of that event better than
he did. He thought that not one of the illustrious per.ons who
were even parties to it knew it better than he did from its first
unfolding to its final consummation ; and it was but justice that he
was rendering to the distinguished parties on either side, if be,
speaking as a witness, and as every witness ought to speak, with the
entire absence of all bias from his mind, moving bias either to the
one side or the other,—it was a mere act of justice for him to say
that on the one band never did he see any one move in so straight-
forward a path to his main object, without swerving either to the
eight or to the left for any inferior consideration,—never did he see '
any man shew himself more frank, more candid, or more b.nest '
lei every stage of the negotiation, behaving towards his former
adversaries and Ms new allies with the greatest fairness, libe-
✓ality, and concession, and towards his old colleagues who
had deserted the King's councils, with the utmost propriety,
consistency, and honour. desiring to keep by them if he could,
and anxious not to disszver himself from them if he could
avoid such a separation without any sacrifice of his public
principles,—never did he see any man more solicitous to accom-
plish an amalgamation of all party feelings in the general benefit of
the State, than their late ltepresentative the present Chancellor of
the Exchequer—(Loud cheering); and that, on the other band,
speaking as a witness on b:half of the Right lion. Gentleman's new
allies, never did he see any set of DWG so unwilling to accede as
members to the Governwut, as they were—(Cheers). They only
who had been engaged as patties in the affair could be aware of the
difficulty which thwe was to get those Noble Lords and lion. Gen-
ii men to listento-any propositions which were made to them about
heir own accession to ollice—(itear, bear). At last a a provisional
amusement was made between thews and Mt. Canning, that
they would give their support to the Government, but would them-
selves continue out of place. The absurdity_ of this scheme, the
ridicule with which the adversaries of Ministers immediately over-
'whelmed it, the impossibility of Government going on regularly
when there were so recognised leaders of it, when the members
of it were nut all sailing in the same boat, when some were going
'forward while others were standing still, when there was no sym-
pathy of mutton between the leaders and the led—all these strange
;10+1101es soon put an end to the provisionalarrangement, of the
-success of which he had doubted from its very outset, and
which he had ridiculed from its very beginning, as must unwise,
being the vowel plan of supporting Government without taking
ifice. Still, one of the most distinguished leaders of the liberal
-party was left out of %Ace ; but he hoped that the List remains
'sof that provisional arrangement would soon be at an end--that it
would oily be mentioned in future to be regretted as ever having
existed at all, and for the purpose of demonstrating the extreme re-
luctance of those distinguished men, who were the new allies of the
overnment, totake once at all—( Hear). He thought that when the
letting looked to the dividea of power which had been established
between the parties, to the balance of (Ake and emolument which
-had been struck among their adherents, to the small number of the
ew allies of Government who filled high stations with much pa-
. usage attached to them, and to the very moderate proportion of
Mr. Canning's personal friends who had obtained any patronage
all, they would see that there never yet had been a junction be-
e-Steen two great parties, in which the individuals who belonged to
t hem took so little, and in which the individuals who belonged to
I.eiiher, and had little power or influence iu the State, were allowed
t.. take so much—(Chetill). He had entered into this explanation,
s. teichice bad purposely made minute, detailed,-tiresome, if they
v... 01,1 a. have it—(Loud cries of ' No, go on,")—because in ad-
i• ,rug the present meeting he almost looked upon himself as ren-
s. r.i.g JP account of his public conduct to his own conuituents.
r Lrmeose cheering). Accidents had severed them f.r years; but
i.e should never cease to remember their kindness to him upon fora
they occasions ; nor to L el tbat,when he came before then', it was his
41.041 t sactsd duty to account to them for his past condnet,just as much
a. it he was accounting to them for a trust which by delegation they
C.d conferred upon him—(lmmense chewing). It was no fault of
theirs that be 'bad not been their representative—it was his own
t oalt.--(Criet of " No, no,- great cheering, sod exclamations of
'• '1 ry again.') He knew that he might base had the high honour
being their representative in 1812, if on that Sunday morning he
Lid listened to what had been proposed to him—his friends had re.
ell the proposition of polling one and one, which would undoubt-
e'dy base made him the colleague of their late Right Honourable

(Hear, hear !) Had the Whigs born so absurd as to act upon that
principle, instead of having a Government consisting of men of
knowledge and liberal principles, going along with the light, and
intellect, and improvement of the age, they would, by grasping at
impossibilities, and by straining at what could not be obtained, have
let into olAce men of no light, of no intellect, of noimprovement, of

no liberality at all—(Grest cheering). In casting his eye back an
the scene through which we had passed in the few last months and
of which he bad been a nearer spectator than any of those who now
heard him, he felt that if he had acted on any otber.principles than
those which had directed his recent conduct, he should have seed-
Geed his duty to himself, to his country, and to mankind—
(Cheers). Yes, he should have sacrificed his character ass lover
of freedom if be had allowed one moment's space for the action

thin to the measure which had placed their late distinguished
Representative at the head of the Government, merely became
It was giving a great, signal, and illustrious triumph to an individual
who was considered as his personal rival—(Great cheering). He
did not look upon power as a thing to be envied by any wise
or good man. Power in itself, mere power, was any thing, he
feared, rather than a friend to virtue or a test of merit. It
was enjoyed by right of birth, by bloated despots ; it was pus
chased through blood and slaughter by ferocious usurpers and
pestilential conquerors; It was held by a tenure which rested so
those defects in human nature, which reduced man below his
ordinary level, and rendered him as much a slave to the will of
others as are the miserable inmates of an Eastern Seraglio. But the
power to be of use to mankind--the power to do good to a man's
country—the power to scatter blefisinp over the land of your birth
or of your adoption—the power to root up ignorance, to diffuse
knowledge, to advance the progress of mind, to break the
chains of the enslaved. man of every country, or colour, or
cast, or stet—the power to benefit your kind, and illustrate your
country, and ennoble your age, and mend your race—that
power is a possession which a man, nay, which an angel, may
stoop front his height to take up and enjoy--(lmmense cheering).
He devoutly believed—yes, from the bottom of his heart he was
convinced—that is lending his humble and disinterested aid to
establish pewee in the hands of the Minister who now wielded it,
he had enabled many persons to hold it for those sacred purposes ;
and he eared not whether he held it In his own hands, or whether
he joined in strengthening the possession of it fir those of others,
who would devote it to such noble and legitimate ends—
(lnunense cheering). They might be assured that be, who so
felt and acted, would enjoy while his life was spared to him
to do good to his fellow creatures to the best of his power,
a deep and herrtfek satisfaction, which would be ill exchanged
for any transient honour that he might derive either from
judicial appointments, or from foreign missions, or from the com-
mand of all the resources of this mighty empire. He would, indeed,
dearly purchase those glittering objects of human ambitioo, if he
gave up for them that deep and heartfelt satisfaction which made a
man fed that he was doing good iu his generation, by cultivating his
mind, and by living a life of integrity, whilst he was spared to his
friends, pore from all factious bias on the one hand and from all in-
terested motives on the other. enabling him to bequeath a name,
when he was called hence, to the gratitude of countless ages as ooe
of the noblest, though it might be also one of the humblest bene-
factors of mankind—(Great cheering).
At the conclusion of Mr. BROUGHAM'S speech, most of the Ladles
who had seated themselves in the orchestra rose end retired.
Mr. Baansuaut then proposed the health of the Chairman in a
nest speech. •
The CHAIRMAN. in returning thanks, congratulated the Meeting
on the increase of liberal principles in the town of Liverpool.
Several other toasts were then drank, among which was the
' health of that venerable sod enlightened patriot Mr. Roscoe ; but
the guests had not begun to retire, nor was the boldness of the day
half concluded when the reporter stetted for London.

The temporary Coin Bill, founded upon the Resolu-
tion passed on Monday. by the House of Commons, after some
conversation, was last night read a first time, and ordered to be
read a second time this day.

bi,,nday the Duke of Kent Lisbon Packet arrived at
Falmouth : she brings dispatches to Government, dated
the 10th inst. from Sir W. H. CLINTON, Commander in
Chief of the British Army is Portugal.
The following is an extract of a private letter, re-
ceived by the packet, which has brought the above
dispatches :

LISBON. Jaws 10.

" All is quiet, with the exception of some banditti
committing depredations in the Northern Provinces.
The Spanish army, under SARSTIZILD, has not yet
quitted the frontier. It assembled on the 80th May for
I a grand parade, to celebrate Saint Ferdinand's day;
but, by all accounts, it requires no little difficulty to ke:p
it to its loyalty. Reports, however, speak of the speedy
withdrawal of the whole of that force into the interior
of Spain, where they are much wanted.

" The whole of the Portuguese Ministers are changed,
with the exception of NORANHA. Minister of Marine, and
Don JOAO CARLOS DR SALDANHA, Minister of War.
The Marquis PALDIRLLA takes the Portefeuille, and
with him at the head of affairs, things may go on more
favourably to the Constitution. SALDANHA, the Minister
at War, is considered as a well•intentioned man; with
more energy than judgment, and requires sometimes to
be reined in, but he is much attached to the Consti-
tution. It is a prevalent opinion, however, that if our
troops were now to be withdrawn, the ships would
scarcely bra out of the harbour, before the Constitution

would be wh fly upset, as the whole of the Priesthood
and the Fidelgos cannot heat it—the fear of the former
Wog, that it will enlighten the people and free them
from their present superstitious fetters; and of the latter
that they can no longer squander the public money and
oppress the people with impunity."
We have Gazettes and other Papers by this convey-
ance, from the 29th of May to the 9th instant, but they
are almost wholly filled with extracts from English,
French, and other foreign Journals. The Gazelle of
the Ist instant states that dispatches had been received
from the Portuguese Charge d'Affaires at Madrid, an-
nouncing that orders had been sent to General SAWA.
FIILD, Commander-in-Chief of the Spanish Army of
Observation, to make that army fall back to its former
*positions. This is an important concession on the part
of the Spanish Government, and probably a prelude to
others of a character still more conciliatory and pacific-
It is a presage, we hope, that the negociations now
pending between Spain and Portugal will be brought
before long to a successful termination.
_ _ _

With respect to principle, the change in the Mi-
nistry appears to be as complete as possible, the new
Cabinet being decidedly favourable to the constitutional
system. This important event took place on the Sth
inst. and in more than one point, bears an affinity to the
late revolution its our own Cabinet. SALDANHA, who
was the most popular member of the late Ministry, and
who differed from the majority of his late colleagues
upon nearly every great question of national policy,
offered his resignation to the Ric au; whic'e,she refused
to accept. The msjority of his colleagues afterwards
sent in their resignations; but, whether they mere se-
riot's or not, they were taken at their word ; and a com-
mission was given to SALDANHA to re-construct
the Cabinet.

We also received this morning theAlgenteine &awl
to the 13th inst. which, we are very soiry to say, con-
tains, in a letter from Constantinople of the 26th May,
additional confirmation of the disastrous affairs before
Athens. According to this letter, all the Turkish re-
ports speak of at complete victory; " but," says the'
writer, " as the trophies received here and exposed be-
fore the Seraglio, consist, according to the statement of
the Turks V emselves, only of 1000 eats, the heads of
7 Gaeek Captains, 8 cannon, and 1 standard, we still
suppose that the Turkish accounts are exaggerated."
We hope so too; but still the loss, if it only amount to
about 1,500 men, as the present statement supposes, it
is an injury which the Greeks, we fear, cannot repair
in the course of the present year. Besides, it is the
flower of their troops, and the most chosen of their
leaders, who have fallen before Athens; but it is the
moral impression, likely to be occasioned by their de.
feat, which chiefly fills us with apprehension. After the
fall of the Acropolis, which, we fear, is no longer
problematical, the Greeks will not have a single strong
place in all Greece, with the exception of such as they
hold in the Morea ; and as the victoiloes Stratkier
will probably soon form a junction with 11111Aillbl
PACIIA, they are in imminent danger of losing that
province in like manner, particularly as the Viceroy of
Saver is coming, at the head of a new army and fleet,
to act against them.

We have in like manlier received Frankfort Papers to
the 15th inst. but they contain nothing of particular
interest, and no further news from Greece.

Jamaica Papers of the 7th of May have been re-
ceived this morning at the North and South American
Coffee-house. We give the following estracts, though
the substance of them has already appeared in the STAR:

By the arrival of his blajcsty's ship Pylades, Captain Jackson,
information has been received of a revolution having taken place
in Lima, on the 29th of January last, on which day General Santa
Cruz, who had been left in command by Bolivar, proclaimed a
new Constitution, burnt that of Bolivar's, and placed Generals
Lana, &des, and three others under arrest, and sent them off to
Choco. Colonel Bermudez was then proclaimed commander of
the troops, who all swore fidelity to the new Constitution. &-
presses were immediately sent off to General Sscre, In Upper Peru;
and to GuayaquU,to announce the change that bad taken place.
a At the latter city, the intelligence was received with acclama-
tion, and an illumination for two nights succeeded. Upper Pens
would no doubt follow, and it was thought that Panama would
also desert Boli►ar, who, it was feared, was secretly actuated with
the ambition of being declared Emperor or King. %alma was
very dull in the Smith Sass, and most of the foreign ostablidinwsts
were about leaving Guayaquil and Panama."

The Janeiro Omen* of May 7, say•—" Aurora hires,
Captain Austin, was at Lipka when the Britossart kft ; she was
to sail shortly after for Carthagena, ha•ing onboard Mr. Coelho's,
the British Minister to Colombia, and General Bolivar, who bad
resigned the Presidency of the Republic."

Bogota Papers have also been received to the 20th
April. but they contain no news that we have not
already given from other channels.

A letter has been received this morning by the Jamaica
Mall, signed Raysucta, and addressed to Mews. Powum, sad will
prove acceptable to the holders of Colombian Bonds. After stating
that General BOUVAR, in consequence of his resignation of the. Pre.
d dency, could not interfere as desired, to procure the application,
to the payment of the foreign debt, the funds mortgaged for that
purpose, yet that his interference was unnecessary, as the law, passed
In May last year, fully provided for that object.

A report of the proceedings at the dinner given at
Liverpool to Mr. BROUGHAM, 11111 Monday last, will be
found in the preceding part of our Paper. They are
highly interesting.

We understand Chit the office of President of the
Royal Society has been offered to Mr. Pau, in the
event of the resignation of Sir Huurnarr Davy.
Mr. Secretary BOURNS, Viscount PALMERSTON, and
the Bishop of Sr. Davin's, visited Mr. Criss yesterday.
The Earl of HAnROWBY transacted business yester-
day withybcoont Gonsucn, at the Colonial Mee.
Prince LIZVEN entertained a distinguished Party to
dinner yesterday, at Ashburnkam House, Dover-street.
Prince ESTiIIIAZY, the Austrian Ambassador, trans-
, acted business yesterday with Viscount DIMWIT and Wall% L the
Foreign ooe.

THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE.
That sweet melodist, Miss PetvoN, took het benefit st
this Theatre last night, and presented to her fiends
rich vocal treat i we were happy to find, as we expected,
a crowded and very elegant audience asembled in
compliment to her talents—talents which have been so
long find justly extolled by the public, that any ela.
borate criticism on them would now be unnecessary—,
We shall only, therefore, observe that she was received
with deafening plaudits whichter exertions throughout
the evening fully justified. The performance coniisted
of the Slave, supported by the fair songstress, by iros
STIPHR/11, BLAHAM, Hoax, COOPIN, and }UNLIT,
miscellAneons act of vocal and instrumental music, is
which Miss ISAIITLLA PATON sang the beautiful air,
"In infancy, by A Rua, with such sweetness as to pro.
duce an encore. The " Sultan" was revived for this
night, and Miss Pwrox sustained the part of Hardens
in a very; delightful manner. Those whose ears hai net
been folly satisfied with that part of the entertainment,
which took place before midnight, remained to see
s 4 Amoroso, King of Little Britaix," in which Mr. Hair
tsar sustained his original character.
