frThe next step which I bad occasion to eMbap
at some distance of time, was my addressing a
to Mr. Whyte, the 16th of October, aside, Wm

ea the day of the funeral, express frequently shoatioir
me whit for the restoration of peace; and also.
not his conduct was such as to show that he
had the return of tranquillity at heart ? I added is

a reply, stated, that in consequence of the candid dela,.
ratios that leis answer might be produced in Parliament,
sad as he did not wish that his name should be draws
Ist* the business, declined giving any answer to the
question put to him. I again wrote to Mr. Whyte. in-
forming him of my intention to lay before Parliameot.
Is* memo of my statement, the correspondence MA*
int taken place. I would challenge the predeedei`
of Mr. Whyte as a witness at the bar. I had heard that
Mta/byte was a man of honour and strictly religionsprio-
ciples.and would be glad of an opportunity to put theques- I
don to him, whether he did not own to me, that I showed
the utmost anxiety for the resto..ation of peace and order.
If he had a conscience be could not deny that he did.—
Sods were the facts on which I rested my justification,
and wbieh I am prepared to make good. I would then
ask was it the difeace for being at all present at the fa-
, metal that I was stigmatized, so far as Ministerial re-
sentment could fix degradation upon me—was it for pay-
ing the last tribute of respect to the memory of her
whom, when living, I hail thought it my duty to uphold?
'Or was it for the offence of having acted steadily in the
'costae to which I had set oat, and which was pointed
oat by my feelings and judgment, and sanctioned by
the approval of my constituents? Was it because I had
paid to the obsequies of her late Majesty that respect
which was refused her whilst living—which was due
to her rank—nay, which was due to her sex? This
could not be a charge, for his Majesty's Ministers had
permitted a Guard of Honor to accompany her remains.
What then was my offence? Was it—but I (-soma suppose
it was, that my timely and successful interference to pre-
vest the effusion of blood constituted my crime? (Hear.)
—dot whatever opinion might be formed of that later-
ference, Ido not look back to it with regret. I rejoice
that I hid interfered to put a stop to the farther pro-
gress of proceedings which, whatever might have been
the original cause of tbe'sffray, bad assumed a most

lotemperate character when I cattle up,; NI Watch,
