MIR CANNING.

In late debate IN Tic Brush House oil
Commons, on The Indemnity bill, Mr..
Canning, in his usual strain OF satire, ri
diculed the endeavors ofthe opposition
TO cast Opprebrium OH Ministers for their
cruelty Gas il was termcdD III the treatment
oi those who were arrested and confined
upon suspicion of being concerned in
REASONABLE practices. This Speech,
which the Reporters say, was received
with shouts of laughter, brought upon
the honorable Speaker The vengeance of
the opposition both in and out OF the
House. Among the writers, one appears
TO have been Successful in producing an
answer from Mr.Canning, which we have
copied from liverpool paper. To-mor-

Mr.. CANNING.
A most cutting Philippe has Just issued
from the press, addressed 10 this gentle
man, in pamphlet Of between 30 ard 10

acter. The gentleman, however, to whom
that Mr.. Francis is not the author. Who
ever he may be, no doubt he has better
reason for wishing 10 remain unknown
than any fear OF Mr.. Canuings personal
resentment. He may not wish 10 come

miserable and innocent men whom they
have imprisoned, but dare not TO try,
cannot be suspected of any tenderness
towards the writer who attacks them
with such tremendous energy aud ei-
feet.
Dr. Johnson used to say, that he shonld
not think he had hit hard, unless it re-
bounded :" and the following extract from
