Ilikes) but I am satisfied that thi,re did not, nor itip.
exist, on the part of any individual, any thing
personal animosity; nor did my Noble Friend Jo.
tend to apply the phrase. My Lords, if I ;nal In
permitted to say a few words as to the cause of the
failure of the negotiation conducted by my Noble
Friend, I do believe that its failure arose not from any
causes that would have actually prevented its ultimate
: success, but from my Noble Friend having in the first
instance conceived too sanguine an idea of success.—
; A Noble Marquis (Douglas) has suggested the pro.
priety of appointing a day for the discussion of the
subject involved iu the circumstances which havelliea
stated in this House. It is not for me to state to your
I Lordships what would be a proper course of proceed.
lug upon such an occasion, but I am thoroughly con-
vinced that my Noble Friend (the Marquis Welles-
ley) would hail the day of such a discussion, wheu
Ibis whole conduct in this transaction would be be-
; fore your Lordships, with the greatest satiifactiou.—
The Noble Marquis (Douglas) has, however, made
an observation, in which I cannot agme, that success
could not be expected in an application made by my
Noble Friend to those with Whom be essentially JR'.
fered on political subjects, and whe were; as the No.
ble Marquis expresses it, political enemies. My
Lords, I cannot at all agree in this observation ;

ciliation of a numerous class of his Majesty's subjects,
and upon other points it does not appear to me, that
there were any thing more than technical difficulties
`that stood in the way of a satisfactory arrangement
between my Noble Friend and the Noble Lords al-
luded to."

The Marquis of DOUGLAS said a few words in
explanation, but which no could not distinctly col.
lea.

The LORD CHANCELLOR..-46 My Lords, I
am so strongly convinced of the impropriety of con.
tinning this discussion, particularly when there is no
question before the House, that I shall feel it my
duty to mew° an adjournment, or at least (there be.
ing some Bills to coma under the consideration of the
House) to move that this House do, at its rising, ad-
journ till Monday. I have heard, however, with
great satisfaction,'the Noble Lord 4eringdon) state,
that the expression used by the Noble Marquis, rrt
now present, of dreadful personal animosities, does
not apply to any individual whatever. Had there
been any question under discussion which involved
this point, I should have hearl all that might have
been said by any Noble Lord upon this subject,
meaning myself, at the conclusion, to lave Inuit dis-
tinctly disclaimed, on the part of myself and all those
individuals whom I know, any feelino whatever of
anrmosity. And to prove, my Lords, that
I entertain t, feeings of animosity towards the No-
ble Marquis (Wel.esh.y), who is not •iow present, I
I do most earnestly entreat. your Lordships not to pro-
reed in this discussion in the absence of that Noble
Marquis. My Lords, upon a subject in which the
xpressions used bj t 'net Noble Marquis form so pro-
minent and material a part of it, I do earnestly hope
!that your Lordships wilt think it proper not to pro-
ceed further in this discussion, when that Noble
Marquis is notipresent."
The discussion here terminated.

COMMITTEE OF WAYS AND MEANS.
Mr. I.iGON brought up the Report, when
' Sir JOHN NEWPORT rose and referred to
the dilemma in which the House was likely to
be placed. They must all feel reluctance to as-
sume the appearance of interfering in the exercise of
the Royal Prerogative, and yet they had on the other
hand a duty to discharge to the country, and a con-
stitutional principle to-support, that of suffering no
public measure to be takea without'seeing that there
existed a responsible author. He hoped that it was
not impossibla.on this occasion to draw a correct line
,of distinction, in such a manner as 'nightenable dicta
ati once to render justice to all parties. The Custom-
house Duties'. Bill would not expire until the 50t
July, and the new Bill would probably be tic
''more than a continuation of its predecessor. It was
his intention, therefore, not to oppose the Resolu-
tions of the Committee at.any of the presions stages.
.Ample time would thus be furnished for aecomplish-
. ing the object of forming an efficient Government
adequate'to meet the difficulties and situation of the
country ; but should this natural expectation be still
disappointed, the house, he trusted, wad then feet
',it its duty to resist any farther grants.
Mr. W. PQLE rose only to state the pleasure he
felt in acquainting the Hon. Baronet, that the Cu:-
tom Duties would not be this year augmented.
Colonel BASTARD declared that therioappeared
to him less hop than ever of constituting a vigoroi,s
and efficient Government, unless the Wiese Wet," Iv-
. solved to interfere. [Hear, hear!] lie could not
believe that the feelings of the country or itsVondi-
Hon, internal or external) could have been faithfully
