Canning was by fan that-most adeantageoni to the
country. The total expense of the mission of Sir

Friend amounted altogether, ordinary ind eatradiL
disary expenses, -only to 14,0001. from which it up-
peered that there was a clear saving of one half to '
the gantry. in making this comparison he begged
.to state, that he had no wish whatever to cast 'the
*lighted reflection. upon the condect of the two indi-
sickle's whom he had mentioned; for one of them he
had the highest possible respect, and for the other he
entertained the most sincere friendship. in conclu-
sion he again begged to impress upon the House the
:simple fact, that the limitation of expenditure had
been adopted at the suggestion of his Right Hon.
. Friend.
. Mr.'f lERNEY thought, that as far as the Hon.
. Gentleman's defence of his Right Hon. Friend con-
cerned the public, it was not satisfactory. He was
himself, perhaps, the person best ,entitled In the
whole House to ,express his opinion on the subject,
without any delicacy towards *. Canning, since, at
. a former period, he had-showed none towards -Sir
C. Stewart. The Chancellor of the Relliectsee might
