which il had in view to remove, and we
can only trust that Providence will avert
thoss evils which the glazing s~elhshness
OF an inyeterate faction would bring
upon the nation. That party do not
take the trouble of cloaking their
views will be seen from the following
extract from Lord Grey's speech:-
If there was to be a contest said his
Lordship, between that house and a
great portion of the population, bis pait
was taken. He was one OF an order with
which he must stand or fall, and to the
last hour of his life, be would maintain
the privileges and independence OF
Parliament And vet this is the indl-
yiduaI who was once considered the
friend of the people, now cosIescing
With Ultra Tories, from whom, accor-
ding to his OWE words, he differs as far
as the poles are asunder.'
With regard TO the Duke of Yelling
toms share in the matter, we can only
say, that we have too much remaining
respect for the Hero Of Waterloo. to
trust ourselves with making any com
ments on such unjusti6abie conduct,
whilst uuder the influence Of the seri
Gus modification which we feel at the
failure of this bill.
A Liverpool Circular of the 10th
holds the following language on this
subiect-"fhe rejection OF the Corn
Billby the House Of Lords has pioduc-
ed great surprise with commercial men;
the disappointmentis more strongly felt,
as il has generally been understood, in
the House that opposition to any Bill is
made at the second reading, which in
the instance now alluded to having
passed with so decided a majority, any
serious dissent or subsequent defeat was
not anticipated. The result however is
otherwise. and its consequence and eff
tects will probably be felt in creating
some ~stagnation in business and a cur
tailed demand for manufactured goods;
should this be the case and though to be
feared, it is to be hoped it will mott a
check NAV be experienced to the steady
and progressive improvement Of late
~perceptibIe in the Commercial and Man

much as the received public opinion is,
that the late improvement is in a great

modification in our Corn Laws having
produced a greater Interchange of com

up; its rejection will therefore must
probably curtail this demand.
In the House of Lords on the I4th.
Lord reynham asked a question of Lord
Dudley respecting the continued occr-
patton of Span by French troops, Lord
Dudley, in reply, said, that when a no
BILE friend of his asked a question nearly
similar, on a former occasion, respect.
ing a course which government intend
ed to pursue, he told his friend that
be must then decline giving any
answer-that the time in fact had not
come when such a disclosure ought to
be made. For reasons nearly similar,
he said, he must now decline giving a
distinct reply to the noble Lords ques-
ton. The subject is one of great I'M
portance, and | can assure the noble
Lord and the House that it has not been
left out of the view of government; 81
can also assure him, most sincerely, that
in my judgment, and in that of my col.
leagues. any information that we could
now afford would do any thing but con
tribute topromote the object. of the noble
Lord. On that ground, therefore. I must
refuse to give any specific answer.
Lord Tenham. There can be no doubt
tina. the occupation of Cadiz and the
other Spanish ports by France is an in
dication of a hostile feeling, if not of
an act of hostility, on the part of that
country towards England; and | am
sure that the House will agree with me
in thinking that the deepest responsible
ty rests with the noble Viscount and all
bis Majesty's government (Hear, hear.)
Lord Dudley. When the day of ex
p~lanation comes, I have no doubt that
it will appear that his Msjesty's govern
ment have not been unmindlul of their
duty. tHear)
