able Member for Coventry had made out any case for

going into a Committee. The present system was
against the real interests of the country. The officers
employed in the revenue department could stop the
smuggling of spirits; but they found it impossible to
prevent the introduction of dry or silk goods. The op-i
posi ion offered to Government in the present measure
was similar to that which had been always exercised
against every introduction of liberal improvements. If
the House cast a retrospective view throughout history,
they would find that all improvements in the system of
trade and in manufactures, had been opposed by thole'
who conceived that their own interests would be injured
by the innovation. Theme antielpeticas of mil by Interested parties,'
frequently turned out unfounded, and general good. as well as law
dividual advantage, arose from liberal measures. He doubted whe.
thee the French bad capacity all at owe to compete with us in the(
markets of Europe.
Mr. P. MOORE said, he rose without any eaten)*
lion. He wished to advocate public right, public prin-
ciple, and popular interest, without any principle. The
Hon. Member went on to describe the state of distress
existing at Coventry, and implored both the House and
his Majesty's Ministers to grant the Committee. In a
case so urgent, he cared not for protecting duties or pro-
hibitions—be would throw all overboard—but he would
save the people (hear, and a lase.) Let the smugglers
go on and maraud as they might, and let them be hung
as fast as they could be taken. (A laugh.)
Mr. EGERTON was anxious to go into the Com-
mittee, as many petitions had been presented from the
county he represented, but if the petitioners did not
make out their case la the Committee they *odd net have his vet e.
Mr. PALMER, in a maiden speech, stated that he
had, after great hesitation, determined to oppose the
motion. He had formed this determination with-re-
luctance, as some of his constituents were connected
with the silk manufacture ; but so strong an impression
bad been made on his mind by the speech of the Right
Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Huskisson) last night, that be
now felt it his duty to vote as be had stated. He had'
been by that speech awakened to the danger, that by
going into a Committee they might, instead of doing
good, do very material harm. He was averse to the ex-
citement of fallacious hopes, 'and apprehended that the.
desired inquiry would rather held est'an indesiensait taiimisyster
to diminish than to increase the umber ettheir bands.
Mr. Secretary CANNING, who, on rising, was
loudly cheered from all parts of tbr Home„ said s—stlir,
site; the detect appeal made to me by the-Hoootwable
Member for Coventry; after the appeal oho made to
ine by another Honourable Member, I do feel it neces-
sary, before the debate closes, to state to the Home
fairly, and as shortly as I can, the views and Opinions
which I entertain upon the present question. On the
one hand, I am sure the House will believe that I can.
not feel disposed to enter at large into a subject which
has been already disposed of so much to the satisfy:.
Lion or this House and the country ; so much to the
encouragement of some who bad before given those
measures their support; and the conviction of others
who had previously entertained adverse or doubtful
opinions upon them', by the able, the eloquent, the
powerful speech sit my Right Hon. Friend—(Cheers).
I say, thetf, that after that splendid exertion on the part
of my Right Hon. Friend, the House will not suspect
me of the bad taste of wishing to obtrude myself upon
the House, by again discussing the whole of that vast
question; but I feel that I should not discharge my
linty to this House--I feel I should not do my duty.to
the country—l feel that I should not discharge my duty
to my Right Hon. Friend, if I did not come- forward,
and by an avowal of my sentiments and opinions, claim
a full parecipation in the responsibility incurred by the
introduction of those measures. h is for this purpose,
then, that I now present myself to the House. I have
witnessed for the last tax months, I might, perhaps, say,
during a longer period, but principally for the last six
months, the diligent, the systematic attacks made upon
the plans and measures, as well as upon the public AO
ratter of my Right Hon. Friend ; attacks, made, nil
doitht, with the cherished bops of their proving juju-
:ions to his fame, and subversive of the sound eosamer-
cial and trading principles which be has so long and so
anxiously exerted himself in endeavouring to introduce,
(Otters) ;—and, let me ask, why this. opposition tO
the introduction of measures by which my Right Hon.
Friend means to fix the foundation of a salutary system
of commercial trade and conmeseee with other lotions I
I agree entirely' with the HOW: Gentlemmi Mind Me
(Mr. Palmer), who hap spoken this night for the first
time, and spoken in a manner that gives ample promise
of the ability with-which he will hereafter fill the
nourable situation to which betas been called. I. aktint'
with that Hon. .Gentleman in the sentiment, that if she
shadow of probability could be shown, that by OM
into the proposed Committee, Parliament could thrater
thingeffectaal to tooth the feelings or tnrelieerthe db.;
tresses of those whose behalf that culeteitta was re.
Iniied—if is were even sr neutral measure in which the
!louse could agree, 1 say, is that ease; think 'wide the
1-lon. Gentleman, that the House would tot bejtistitied
in refitting to accede to the motion. But, Sir feeling
as I do, that there is in truth no prospect °Each it'll,'
VUit, I maintein, that to go into the Comnsktee would'
be enly mischievous to the country, without being
lcial or even consoling to the :defers. It would.be to'
practise an unworthy delusion oil them, at the expense'
'of the nation, it we...should hold out a hope-an expec-'
tation, nay, even a doubt, as to its being our fixed de-
termination to persevere' in that course, which, after the'
Most serious stelibetatlott, Parliament, in its wisdom,
resolved to pursue. What, I will ask, would be the'
effect Of our going into the proposed Committee?:—:
1.4 question, of et ail, beat it out into as many shapes'
as you will, must come to this Would prohibition 'no-
tect the silk trade of this toe ntry name than a tiode.rate

)ver the
of our commercial interests—(Chee►s),
fetter our et ade, and perhaps in the end annihilate those
manufactures it is out wish and our duty to encourage.
But my objettion to the appointment of a ComMittee
does not rest here. I feel that it would operate hot
only against the interests of the suffering individuals,
whose digresses it is intended to relieve, but also Against
those measures, the adoption of which have already
met with the almost unanimous wishes of this House.

But, Sir, this is not the point upon which I felt myself
most immedi.&tely called upon to answer the appeal of
Honourable Members—this is not the point upon which
I feel called upon by my public duty to express my sen-
timents. it cannot be denied. Sir, that under cover of
_ _

the measure which the Hon. Gentleman oppo,ite (
lice) hal thought proper to bring forward ; and that he has
brought it forward in the sincerity of has heart, and with
the view solely to the relief of the sufferers whose

cause he advocated, the House must feel convinced ;
but it cannot be denied, that ' under cover of that
motion, an opportunity was taked, not by the Hon.
Member certainly, but by others, to attack the commer-
cial regulations now in proves.; measure! more set
ouily deliberated upon, and inttodticed with the more'
universal consent of this House, than any other acts of
our public policy within my recollection—measures
which all men, capable of farming a just and stecur.ite
judgment, had concurred in advocating as the trite
policy by which this country ought to be guided in
commercial affairs. However fairly the Hon. Member
for Coventry brought forward his motion, this was not
the case with the • HOndurable Gentleman (Mr. J.
Williams) who seconded him, who • addressed you
with a very different feeling, and in a very oifferent
spirit. That Honourable an,d Learned Member, de-
parting from those professional tOpicr, in descanting
upon which, he had so often arrested the attention of
the House, disported himself upon this, to him novel
subjeit, certainly, with all the confidence of a novice,
but at he same time in a manner which evinced a total
incapability of using his weapons as he was wont to do
in bit more practised exhibitions, in his place over the
way—(Cheers). The Honourable and Learned Mem-
ber, in the course .of his address, allowed himself to in-
dulge in all the vulgar topics and ribald invective with
which my Right Hon. Friend has been assailed, and in'
the spirit of these-attacks, has attributed to him feelings
and sentiments as foreign to his beat t—as much beneath
his exalted character, at ate those published attacks,
which my Right Hon. Friend feels beneath his notice.
The lion. and Learned Gentleman endeavoured to
fasten epos my Right Hon. Friend views and motives
which ate a'ien alike to his feelings. his opinions, and
his talents (cheers), with a view of drawing upon bins,
or if not upon him, upon his measures, the ill opinion
and odium of the public. And why, I ask, has my
Right Hon. Friend been subjected to theme attacks?—
Because, Sir, with an industry andeiertion unabated,
with an intellect and intelligence never exceeded, and
rarely equalled, he has devoted' his daily labour and
his nightly toil to the improvement and more permanent
establishment of our commercial and trading system'
...C(,hem). Sirs When this attack was made. the
House felt as one man the injustice done to, my
Right Hon. Friind (cheers); sad if, in addition to
the conscious rectitude of his own mind, and the gra-
tifying ackaowledgment by this House, of his splendid
exertsens, he "tidied* for another gratilication, he had
it in a recollection of the imbecility of the attempt to
lowest either him or his measures in the public mind.
And then, forsooth, came the assertion, that nothing per-
sonal was =Mit.. Nothing.persorial, Sir I Did we not
bear Mention made of the animosity and malignity of
the devil ? Nothing personal 1.--certainly nothing per.
sonal to the devil--(.assgliter)—.who, by the way, and
it is a curious coincidence; is according to the old chro-
n;cles, the Patron Saint of the city (Lincoln) which the
Hon. and Learned Gentleman represents—(Laughter).

•
Nothing personal, forsooth. What could any one
to suppose, that the embodied tililignity, the coldness
of heart, the' apathy of • Wilt; which the Learned
Gentleinari hid described as the distinguishing features
of those who indulged in abstract specplations, were
eat intended to be attributed to his Right Hon. Friend;
and to those, wbo favoured his doctrines? Want of
feeling, obddracy of heart, and every other quality.
which could make a man contemptible in the perform-
ance of his arduous public duties, and odious in the
eyes of his fellow citizens; for whose benefit he was
dhehatging.those duties, were attributed to his flight
Hohourable Mend, and attributed most unwarrant-
ably—(Near). These epithets are as vulgar as they
are unjust, and yet there is nothing personally meant:
And why were theseclrarges preferred? Why these
approbrions epithets-applied? Because my Right lion.
Friend has wished tai regulate our commercial sys-
tem- on sound philosophical principles. Is this a crime ?
Does it follow because philosophical principles are
applied to matters of common life, that the individual
acting thus most be distinguished by the obduracy of.
his feelings ? contend' that it is trne, policy so to
apply the principles of philosophy in the abstract;
though unquestionably it may be proper to qualify e
modify them, according to circumstances, in our pre*
tire. The course( which has been takeh-a-the spire

rous, but whose foundationis in truth--(Loud cheering.)
This S.r, in my mind, is the ttue coaduct of a British
Statesman, but they who shrink from improvement a
from innovation, may grieve then they have resisted
too long the introduction of improvements to find that
they are compelled at last to submit to innovations,

although they ate not improveinents-,4.(Ckeers). [say.
then, Sir, that in this step my Right Honotwable Friend.
(for though I am most willing to share all the respon-
siblity, I will not presunie to claim pait him in
the meth or it) has been actuated by a Afferent 61441;
convinced in his own mind- of the jnitite and ex-

to legislate, and, as the fruits of that legislation, J.

.—(Ckeeis) But other attacks have been 'niade upon us.
We- are charged with having abandoned the principles.
of Mr. Pitt, and of having taken a leaf out of the book'
of our antagonists. Is it possible, Sir, that the people•
who use dui language can be so utterly ignorant of
the truth, as to suppose the principles of a liberal com-
mercial policy have any connection with Witiggism?
do not wish to withhold due praise' I will even say
•

warm acknowledgments; from the Honourable Gentte-

men opposite, who have, on . the present occasion,
done themselves honour by forgetting the mere vulgar
distinctions of party to support measures brought
forward by their opponents, which they believe
wilt contribute -to the' end of the country. Nat
looking-to the individuals, but to It e political creed of
the party, I can see nothing in the history of the country
since the distinctions of Whig and Tory were known,'
which dces not tend to prove, that in matters of com-
mercial policy, the Tory has always been the liberal,
and . the Whig, the opponent of liberal measures, To
:hew this Sir,l will first take a view of their conduct from
the history of France—from the history of that country
with which our commercial regulationshave been of the
inmost importance. Sir, the only attempts at. snaking
siornisercial treaties, until that which my lit.Hon.Friend
and I signed the other day, were the peace of Utrecht
and the Treaty of 1786. ..I shall not now disctass the
merits of the first of these; but all I shall say is, that:it
Was proposed by a Tory--that it was rejected by a
Whig=rejected, too, on the ground of the natural
enmity of the two parties—(Hear). With respect to
the Treaty of 1786, who, I ask, was the-proposer ? Pitt.
IVho the impugner? Fox—(Cheers): I Since not into
the detail of the advantages and disadvaatawes of dam'
two Treaties; I mention them only to. show- the Auto
of the adage, that when a man wishes to. strike a
dog, he does not fail to find a sticlo44.444nigh)
say this, not in the spirit of complaint; bat to .stew
how rashly arguments are adopted, and how falseithe
charge, that we have deviated from the. principles of
our political master, and gone over to the 4180110
camp, if not for quarters at least for instrliction.
I deny that we h ive departed from the dottrines of
Mr. Pitt, and I say that the charges recently preferred
against his Majesty's Government are connected with a
wish which could not be concealed from any man: who
bas observed the signs of the times-1 mean the hidden
wish for the renewal of the Bank Restriction Act.
—Here 'again we are chargkd with being defaulters
from the policy of Mr. Pitt, because we are resolutely
bent oir restoring a metallic currency, and are not dis-
posed to repeat an experiment, which, however, neces-
sary, or successful in one instance, from peculiar circum-
4tances, no wise man would ever wish to see repeated.
!It is singular to remark, how ready some persons are
'to admire the exception rather than the rule ; there are
some persons, wirose perverse admiration is like the
idolatry of certain barbarous nations, wbo look on the
sun in his meridian splendour without emotion, but
who, while it it under an eclipse, come forth with
their cimbair, and fall down to adore it ; so here
those who could not venerate Mr. Pitt in the bright-
ness of his meridian glory, have readily offered
up their tribute of worship when he has accident-
ally ceased to shine. (Loud cheering.) My admiration for
that great man is due to him for the glorious course he
ran, and for the illumination he, shed over the country.
But I do not adopt even the accidental faults of that
illustrious model; end I think it is not for those who
tread with unequal pace in his steps, to select for their course those
foot-marks in which, for a moment, and by the accidents of the
' times, he kad trodden iterry---(Lond cheering).—lf, Sir, I have
said enough to musty the House. that with my whole soul I adopt,
with my whale strength I will endeavour to maintain the, motion
.1.111, Right Honourable' Friend, I have said enough ; and 1 will

is himself a perfect master, and of which he has made them equally
masters with himself. I should have been ashamed to let this de-
bt& go by without declaring that I will readily take my share of
the responsibility, but that I leave to my Right Honourable
Friend the full and undivided honour of this measure, the glory of

Gentleman sat down amid loud and continued cheering.
