shruld Ab,tairt from any remarks which might lead to
preliminary and unnecessary discus,ion. He regretted
the being compelled to introduce the subject in the ab-
sence of his Right Hon. Friend opposite (Mr. Canning)
—an absence which he regretted, not more on account
of the cause from which it proceeded, than because it
had deprived him of the opportunity of conversing with
the Right Hon. Gentleman previous to taking any mea-
sure 03 the subject ; but the fact was, that the pressing
instances of the parties immediately concerned, and his
own view of the public importance of the question, left
bins no choice but to urge on Its discussion at the very earliest pos-
sible convenient day. At present, however, he should go no fur-
ther than to st ate, that although he was not prepared to 61 the precise
day on which the subject would be brought forward, the impres-
sion on his mind gas, that it would be at the earliest possible period
that the engsgententsandconvenience of the House would admit.
