to every man's .feelings, and of course' extended
knowledge, fiscilitotiel the communication of that
species of Issuirleilie was by the periodical press.
Mr. BATHLIRnI explained.
Mr. At'DOiNtiEle paid many complimeets to
the assiduity and steady perseierance evinced by
11'6 Hop. Gentleman (Mr. Bankem), in the prose.
eutiow of an effectun, financial reform, noteritit.
staneling all the uhstrietions thrown in the way of
his labours; by his Majesty's Ministers. lie
thought that the present was an opportunity which.
the House ought not to let pan, of giving the
people a Proof of its sympathy in their wishes.
The people wished for a moderate Constitutional
Reform. %%riven. he spoke of the people, he did
not mean the small handful of furious zealots, or
designing demagogues :—he meant the. great body
of thepeop)e, who were equally burdened, though
less clamorous. The Rause wes bound not oily
to consult their real interests, but not to bain.
Afferent to their wishes. it had been . objected
that the projected saving was too 'Were
the Right lion. Gentlemen opposite prepared to
furnish the Howe with a statement of economy
upon a broader scale? The country had seen
enough of their economy and their frugal plans fur
burying our blood and treasure in the swam, s of
Holland, and the rivers of Spain. Substituted
pensiuus were every way preferable to sinecures.
Tho one was done in the open day—the other was
of that underhand nature, calculated to create dis.

come to a close without giving the people some
sign of their wishes to give them every reasonable
satisfaction in their power.

Mr. WI LLIAMNA Y 1.04 spoke in favour o(
the amendment. -
Mr. WILBERFORCE rose amid a general cry
of " Question !" lie said hodid Not rise to go
at all into the orpiment, slid should content him.
self with simply stating it as his opinion, that at
all times, and especially at present, it would be
true wisdom, and was a part of their duty, to
remove, as far as could beAone, all grounds far
distrust of that-11°mo ou the part of the potpie.
It was true patriotism to shew to the people of
England that that House was tnosi anxious at all
times to gaud well its their good opinion. lie
would not now argue the question, but II was nut
easy to suppose those persons serious who spoke
of pensions proving as unpopular as.the abolished
sinecures: Sinecures were must unpopular—pen.
sinus were, 'in many lust:vices, popular and jus.
tifiable. lle should vote for the Amendment.
Mr. 'LONG shortly replied: he said- that there
was no proof that Sinecures were enpOpular, bat
the opinions of those llonourable Gentle en who
stated that they were so ; awl asked, if they
were prepared .to say, that substituted pensions
would not be as unpopular as Sinecures were al.
!eged to be?
