The Honourable Gentleroar, who spoke last, had se.
c.cred to these charges with unusual acrimony, and
upon one individoal (Sir Judkin Fitzgerald) had been
remarkably violent in his invectives. That Honeur-
able Gentleman said, he did not know whether the
individual whose conduct he traduced was alive or
dead.; but at any rate the Honourable Gentleman took
cats to sleet as the objects of his attack, the absent
oi the dead. It might be some satisfaction to the
Honourable Gentleman to be iiifortried, that in the,
present case the individual w34.4ai1., The Honour-
able Gentleman, by expefickic.e, ItOew what it was
to attack the lieirs—(l.2ll4 trig of hoar, heat).—
.Tko subject was introduced iiergt a motion of such a
natant, to which for. eiga politics were so mixed up
with otifkuu.teris (Laughter) that kwas impossible
• to know that if‘eas to be the occasion of introducing
such chows. These charges were of a nature, that
if substantiated against his Noble Friend, they would
make.hirn unfit. not only for the situation which he
now holds, but were even sufficient ground for an
impeachinent: These charges were not brought for-
ward after a due notice—not in the middle of an ac•
five Session. He would say nothing as to their being
founded on the transactions of twenty years ago tnr

_even these, it fairly brought forward, his' Isfoblel
Friend ought to be prepared totlneet. And by what

that e'cn from such a polluted souice Information
-*might be deserving of notice; and it he might wish
' that it could be procured from a purer source, that
arose perhaps from his not being up to the practices
of the times. The- alll ctions of Ireland had been
• raked up, and whin that was done, it appeared that
•no atrocity, no crime, no species of private violence,
or public treason, could be found, which did not far
'ootgo the worst usages of the present time •—(licar.)
•And yet he could not bet feel that there mast be
'time when a veil• should be thrown over the crimes

and thi. punishment--when neither should be brought
forward Without the solemnity of a judicial trial.—
But now the accusers were safe, udder repeated acts
Of pardon and amnesty. Tiro* ikOhtticts • who had
shrunk fro:a the KAtf,ild to obsetirity, who bad escaped
from the gallows to oblivion, now came ft:reward-with.

shelter of his clemency. Thrts is Was that his mercy
Was requited. It the Legislature consented to par-
don, it was not toe moth to expect that rebellion

but justice to mention what the delicacy of the Noble
Lord had avoided stating. that it was to his inter-

punishment—(Hear. bar).—Awi now the House

Couldit be believed that the motion set which such a

ferences were considered, it would be less surprising
that nothing was said in the motion about Parliamen-

the motion—that it contained net one word about the
decision of the House to retain the Constitution firin

the Session. Not one word was said' as to what the
House had done towards retrenchment. :•The-total

Mr. BROUGHAM thought the speech of the
Right Honourable Gentleman most excellent, most
admirable, most witty, most humlorous, and felt
very grateful for so ' much entertainment when so
much exhausted. It was an act of great self-deaial
to blame him for. omitting Parliamentary Reform,
*nee the omission had afforded an opportunity for the
able and eloquent speech which he haU prepared for
the Honourable Baronet's late motion. The inser-
tion, however, might have served the same porpess.
It was ungrateful in him to have treated itinerant ve-
ticks of eloquence with ridicale. The attack op*
his opinions as revolutionary was strange, for be bad
always been against every violent change, and aavo•
cabtd a gradual restoration; but he was not fright-
'etsed at every thing in. the shape of improvement. nor
did he expect that time would repair what time bed
