FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
HOUSE OF coMMoYs, JUNE 90.

=,
Mr.. Hume, as one of those charged with in
flaming the public mind, felt anxious 70 do
himself justice. The charge, he repealed
with Indignation, and threw it back upon
the noble lord, who, with his colleagues, had
applied the firebrand of Inflammation when they
attempted TO crush the Queen of England.
contrary to all justice, to all lav, to all prece-
dent: They had applied the 'frebrand of
Inflammation when they constituted them
selves Judge and jury, in fragrant violation of
the principles and spirit of the constitution :;
to crush woman whom he would call an
innocent woman, and whom even they them
selves gould not deny TO be an unprotected wo-
man. 1t was under the expectation that she
would be unprotected and unable TO defend
herself that the noble lord and his colleagues
had dared 10 take the course they had taken.
and had expected that she would fall. The
noble lord and his colleagues were the cause
OF the discomfort and inflammation OF the
country. They were the persons who had
nearly driven the couatry into ii state of in

for war, but for preventing war. The pacific

have been mistaken. But it was convenient
