Now; my Lords, I'say that I em justified in stating thet
the course which the Right 'Hon. Gentlemen- -took • leas;
the cause of the dissolution of the Government. I impute
no improper motives to others, but I contend that, iu the

individuals then lying before me--particularly-by thas

subject with petit/et safety.- particularly as it is impos-

honourable men, and Gentlemen, to repel such an un-
founded chaise, to clear ourselves from such foul impu-
tations; if we ateehargedi as I Fare been, with having
gone to the foot of the throne with the design of making
,a particular measure the false pretext fro effecting any
object..or having approached 'his 'Majesty with any such
intentions ?—(Cheer 1.)
I Lord CARLISLEstated that he had heard with much
surprise, that the difference between two • Right Hon.
Gentlemen, Members of the late Cabinets was not the
cause of the dissolution of the late 'Government. For
Himself, he was not aware of the particular circum-
stances; he knew nothing of the mysterious knowledge
of the receetinachinerytthat led to that eifect;. but he
believed his lion. Ft iend (Lord Gocreeich) to •be right
ih stating !bar the .te.+l -cause, of the dissolution was the.
difference between those two Itigkt Hon. Gentlemen.
He did not think the Noble Lout capable of the con-
duct imputed to him. • %Voile • on dais legs he would

but, happily for I im, he was whored from this neces-

Gent. who spoke that speech had correctly said that he

say, lasted tetween himself and that'Right Hon. Gent.
