TUESDAY, APRIL 10.


Mr.. Curwen moved that the order OF the
day for resuming the adjourned debate on the
motion that SIR Francis Burdett's Letter TO
the ope ,Ser be read. He Wa, as lar as anv
one from putting false or strained construc-
tions on any mln's expressions But the let
ter addsessed by Sir Francis Burdett to the
Speaker, was of too glaring nature TO admit
OF a doubt, or of he ita,ion. Ever since he
had sat in that House, he had been friend
to Parliamentary reform ; but these were far
indeed, from measures calculated to obtain
that object, and attempts to expose this House
TO publick contempt. He thought now the
duty Of every man was to rally round govern
ment, without any regard to party spirit, and
to strengthen its means Of protecting the
country. He trusted that there would be but
one sediment in the House on the shbject
before hcm and that this unanimity, as well
as the eonclucf OF Sir Francis, would open ev-
cry ones eyes, whatever might be his popu-
1arity.N He thought,st the same time, that
this House had gone fas enough in furnishing
him; the next step they would take would
almost lne vitabIy occasion frt>h troubles, and
render the interference OF the MILITARY again
necessary. He had not altered (he opinions
lie had SO long professed bun times were
changed; and as much as he thouhNt i, his
duty still to canvas, strictly, the conduct of
Ministers, as much did he feel himself bound
to maintain the honour and dignity OF the
Commons. He would move that the debate
ON Sir Francis furdett's letter, be adjourned
to this day six months. Ia !.
The Chancellor Of the ExcheQuer said
whatever might have been his feelings at the
scenes that had occurred, he never had doubt-
cd of the tran luiiily Of the capital, because
he had power in readiness sufficient to en-
sure 1t. He had never doubt as TO the le-
Haiity OF breaking open honse, II necessary,
tor the execution of the Speakers Warrrnt;
but thought hImse,f bound j.. iastice,lo let the
Sergeant, VINO was responsio.e, to use his dis
erection. The Right Hon. gentleman con-
cuded, by submitting TO the candour OF the
House, whether it would not be better to d.
dopt a middle course between silent con-
tempt, the motive of which mi yht be .n,ista-
ken, and further punishment. lie then NOV
ed the following Resolution, expressing at
the same time, his readiness TO alter it SO as
To meet ,he general sense OF the House. ~,
" Resoired, That it appears to this House. that 81
francis Hurets Letter to the speaker is agross a-
grava,ion of his offence; but that it appearing TO this
House, by the scrgeans report, tina, the speakers
w,rrant has been executed this House does not think
Unnecessary, at the present time, TO take further no.
tice of this Letter"
After a long debate upon the words Gag
gvavation of his offence" the Chancellor o.
the Eychelucr withdrew his original Motion,
Cor the purpose Of substituting that the letter
was ga hagrant breach OF the privilege" &c.
which motion, SO altered, was agreed to mem
con.-Adjourned.
