new Government, and my letnetited friend Chats there-
fort placedunder the necessity,of departing from that
which was his first intention, smd which- was 'in fact
the command• of his Sovereign, to form a new Govern-
ment upon the same principles, and, if possible, of the
same individuals who served under the Administration
of Lord-Liverpool. In the difficulties in which my Right
Hon. Friend wits then placed, he found it necessary
to apply to a distinguished individual who had been
connected, during the whole of his political life, with a
party in-the State which differed upon many questions
from my Right Honourable Friend, but who, sineethe •
restoration of peace—since the abatement of thole dif-
ferences which a state of war created—had directed
their attention to those measures which a state of peace
affords leistire to pursue, and to which I have directed
my humble attention—to renovate the strength of the
country, to husband her resources, and to enable her
again to take a proud station in case war should arise.
Those differences had in a great degree subsided and
disappeared, and the ease of the country allowed them to
pass into a state of abeyance-4 my abeyanle, for I shalt

had continued the services unto. the Administration of
my Right Hon. Friend, that-there was not the smallest
departure in anyone respect from-any of those principles
which we had previously advocated; that there was not
the slightest change of views, and that, in the new Ad.
'ministration I found myself in precisely the same situa-
tion as I was when Lord Liverpool was at the head.—
Soon after the accession of these Noble individuals to
the counsels of the Sovereign, I was obliged to leave
thisaountry, and I returned, after the loss of the lamented
individual at the head of it—after the Admini,tra-
tion was re-constructed; but. still there was no de-
parture from the policy which regulated the foreign
relations of the country; no departure from the mea-
sures carried on in the Zan of Europe: everything
remained the same—and, in shoe:: no part of the
system was changed. It would be baseness—it would be
injustice—it would be something revolting to my feel-
ings and disposition, if -I were not explicitly to declare,
that from the moment of my return to' this country, I

went without reference to any Motive of a private or
personal nature, bat solely with reference to the interest
of his country, and the stability of her institutions: What
passed between the Sovereign and Lord Godetich upon
that occasion is matter which, if I knew, I should not
disclose ; but the result was, that his Majesty felt that
he owed it to his people—that he owed it to the great
interests of the country, and the preservation of the
peace of Europe, not to lose a moment in presenting to
the world a Government, possessing a more stable.
more permanent, and more vigoroos character; and
his Majesty accordingly sent his commands 'to the
Truk* of Wellington.- The Duke of Wellington most
reluctantly accepted his Majesty's- commands'; and
I can say that his earnest wish war impartially to
discharge the trust for which he felt himself cOmpe-
tent by all his previous habits of life ; and I know
that no exclusion of any man or men, who before
presided over the affairs of this country, was pi opesed
on the part of the Sovereign, and the Duke of Welling.
ton was at liberty to form an administration of such
Materials and such persons as might answer'. the *pur-
pose. It happened that the Duke of Wellington, after
connnanittating with another individual—of whom no
iman-who judges him fairly can say otherwise thin 'I do
.-a-that by his talents, his industry, and his assiduity, he
has rendered great benefit to the. publiv—l-meon Mr.
Peel ; the Duke of Wellington, after consulting with
that, Right Honourable Gentleman, and offering hint
a situation in the new Government, the next person
oto whom he sent to •make an offer was. myself, and
,ehall not disguise' from you that "this 'tothmunica-
Aims to me was made its the most general terms. I
was asked if I entertained any opinions, or if"! had any
motives, .which would preclude my taking a part in the
new Government. To an application so general I could
only say, that if the pew Government were edhstruCted
upon such public principles as to satisfy my mind that
what I considered the best interests of the-country-would
be promoted, and if shch arrangements would. heMad'e as
would give me'a pledge and guarantee that the policy
of the late Government would not 'be departed from, I
stood free from any pertyengagements which would pre-
vent my taking a pfirt in the new Adminiitration, and
that' could not give amore explititetraoler to iheAuer..
tion. Next morning LordLansdoern came" ta town; and
I told him what passed bet Ween toe` and the Duke'bf
Wellington, and wished him, if any -toMmunicatiens
'were made to him on the part 'Of• the - ilif-Virtl-
lington, to consider•it well before he give any arlsvier.
What passed between Lord Lansdown 'and' hie is. too
long-to be made Matter of statement; blitaltitesult
was, that he 'stated; that 'if any Offleviefie
hiM, he felt insnperable difficulties. to accede to
it; and I stated to him, that I felt that, upon. the
nature of the application, aod• the • principles upon
which the new-Government were detelobot to act,
'Would depend Whether. or not would accede, tit the
proposition—and we parted on the tutdersta nding.. that

none, and that I should be at liberty *to.join the Mali.

were attended to in the-arrangements. As I was 'not
charged with any commission from the Noble* Duke, I
cannot say to what persons he made any offers, or why I

meat; but this I know, that his Grace wished Lord Car.
lisle to take a share in the councils of the country, and
said he should lament the loss of his services. Lord
Carlisle having. from his earliest appearance in ,public
life, acted with that party, some of whom had corm:lnto
office under the former Administration, and 'having
feelings which party creates, and which I should wish
to be forgotten, refused to stay in if all those with whom
he acted did not continue in the Administration. I wish
wercould forget.those -terms Whig and `Tory; but as I
never did belonglo the party'Which is called Whig; and
as Lord Carlisle had been all his Idea steady adherent
of that party, he retired, -because the Whigs retired.
That could form no reason for my retirement ; for if I
had retired upon the same ground as Lord Carlisle, I
should have identified myself with a party to ,which I
di.d not belong, and should have separated myself-from
men with whom I had acted throughout my political life.
Let me not be misunderstood in saying this, thail dd pot

the strictest impartiality. Without 'overrating any
little confidence which the country might be disposed to
place in him, be might say, that if he and his friends
bad retired, the Goverpmint would be less powerful. and
less likely to gain the respect of Europe, than at would be
by the fusion which bad taken place. These were cone
siderations which every public man was bound to attend
to. He was not sine that, if the Minister -of Foreign
Aff.iis in this country had been ;hanged, the conse-
quence might not have been a general war in Europe.
The Right Hon. Gentleman then praised highly the
military and political character and general reputation
of the Duke of Wellington, and asked if my individual
coeld be foetid possessing higher advantages in the
opinion of the world at large, for the head of the
Government? He now came to the questions which
had been put by his Honourable Friend 116r.Currie : and
first with -anent to the corn Wilt. Atais*--was , no .doubt
a difficult and complicated question,. but it was Most

Further than this he could not sow •in prudence-do.—
. In respect. to the Assessed Taxes, he might state that. in
‘18`24, an attempt was made by the Chancellor of the
Exchequer to intiuduce one rule forleeying those taxes
throughout the kingdom. So active an opposition was
raised tothat proposal, that the measure was abandoned,
though the principle was still held to be good, and he
. (Mr. 11-}should certainly feel it his-duty to bung the sub-
ject under consideration of Gore, nmeot, to obtain an
equalization of assessments. In regard to the Finance
Committee, it would be one of the first duties which
windd devolve upon him, if be should have the honour
to be returned by theta to Parliament, to give his vote toi
the formation of such a Committee, and to take care,
in conjunction with his colleagues, and especially Mr.
Peel, that the members of it were selected from all the

Gallant Colonel bat alluded to some circumstances which waned
a few jeers back (the dispersion of a ;matins at Manchester, in
Aaiun, 1819), and to certain fins Of Parliament which were
passed at that time, as supporting big tuskless. If any nun recol-
lects what. the state of the country *as. is November, 1819, and
what it was a few mouths before, he will at once be convinced of
the inutility, for the country was Tanned to a state of peace, AA
the people, who had been incited by an incendiary press to acts of
treason, and almost rebellion, were note . mere rebored to their,
wonted allegiance. The Hooourable and Reverend Goldenly', be
found, had placed himself under a new tattles-4y so longer found
himself in the ranks of the old. but of the new, Whigs—be had
said much of Mr. Hyde's surcharges; but if Mr. Hyde had sur-
charged the Reverend Gentleman as an apprentice to some of the
modern Whigs, and if his case bad been sent for the uPhaion of the
twelve Judges, he (Mr. Huskissoo) bad no doubt it would have
been confirmed —(Laughter). The Horourable and Reverend
Gentleman asked him if he could recollect the opposition which
bad been made to him in Parliament, when he proposed au ahem.
tiott in the Silk Laws? He did very well remember ft--and what
was it? Ile had been exposed to much vituperation; but no
appeal whatever had been made to the sense of the House. His
opponents on that occasion were, Mr. Ellice the Member for CO-
vaitty, w$ acted from, the instructions Of his constituents; of
Mr. Baring. the Mention for Callington • and of Mr. Williams,
the Member for, be believed, Presage or Llocolti. These Gentle-
men constituted the whole of the opposition in the House, and
they opposed to him not fair and candid argurnenn but mere
vituperation against the moven. The Houourable and Reverend
Gentleman had expremed himself anxious to warn Ms (.tilt; H.)
of the danger he was placed in by his present connections in the
Cabinet. tle hoped, however, that he would allow hint to' take
the keeping of his character into his own hand, and not require
bleu to put it into that of himself mil his Gallant Friend. The
Rev. Gentlattan read; Paper, in which It was stated that Go-
vernment had interfered in the matter •f the lielltorship of the
Courier • Newspaper ; that, IA tact, the Editor had been dismissed
to suit the purpose, of the Administration. He (Mr. I Insktot,n)
most solemnly dolled the truth of the allegation, let it proceed

vernment had ever attempted 814 influence of that kiwi. Ott the

SITTINGS OF THE CHAMBERS.
CHAMBER OF PEERS, J -•NUART 114

ORDER OW nos DAY.

The Marquis of Tauros read a project of law on the
liberty of Commerce and the expose of the Commitee
upon it. This proposition in favour of the librty o
Commerce was passed in the Chambers of Deputies on
the 3.1 March, 1827, and consists of thirteen articles,
the first of which declares the ports of Lisbon and Oporto
maw to the merchantmen of all nations with scads
Portugal is not at war ; and the second declare. •that
all merchandiz-, from whatever country it may come,
shall be admitted in depot in the ports of Lisbon and
Oporto, with full permission to re-export it on payment
'of I per cent.
The report of the Committee entering into detailed
ietlT•ks on the several articles, is on the whole not fa-
vourable to the adoption of the proposed law, and con-
cludes by observing, that as the Committee miaow
ledge, that at a proper time the proposed measures;
with suitable alterations, may be very useful, they, hal%
ever, appear premature under the present circonestae.
ces, When treaties are pending which may be mole with
atom advantage ,and it is of opinirn that prudence re-
quites to put off till the next Session an affair which
deserves to be considered very maturely, to prevent
any inconvenience which may arise Irons precipitation
which it may be difficult to remedy, and will only give
loom [or repentance." After a very long deb.' e,• the
question, on the motion of the Conde de S. Miguel,
was adjourned by a majority of 32 vote. t 0,5.
In the sitting of the 23d, it was again brought fee.'
ward, and, on the motion of the Conde de S. Miguel,
it was resolved to appoint a Special ComMittee for the
examination oh this lava: tant question, and to defer all
farther discussion till it had made its report. The
Committee, consisting of seven members, was imme
diately chosen by ballot, and it was resolved that the
Peer s composing it should be dispensed from all other
business. In the sitting of 26th January, the Older of
the Day was the debate on the question of the four
accused Peers, when, after a very long debate, Wires,-
resolved that there were grounds for the accusation
and that the said Peers should be suspended id the
exercise of their functions.
The Chamber then proceeded to the nomination of
a deputation of 14 Peers to pay their complimenti to
the Infant Don Miguel on his arrival.

CHAMBER OP DEPUTIES, JAN. 19.
The Order of the Day was the Pruitt of Law on the
