-"Mince our words,
uAnd mollifY damnation with u phrase"


"And molliy damnation with phrase"
He is riybt--but he should make allowance for
others who has sometimes occasion for indulg cnce
towards his own vocabulary and he should consider
a man us pardonable for speaking of u miscTcant
on u throne as for speaking of his fellow citizens
Ia part of the English people) as "backguards in
the strcets"-(hc For his (Mr. Shiels) part he
would not call Nicholas n miscrcant, because when
he saw u delegating his brother, in whom the
spirit of Nero must have transmigratcd, II there
bc metempschoss among tyrants, to tread the
heart of Poland out--when we see him bcirayng
nation of heroes into submission and then trans
porting them to Siberia, shaving OFT the gray hair
of Mobiles with the blood of Europe's saviors in
their veins, degrading and enslavlng women, spa
ring neither agc sex, and thrusiing the hand of
a ruthless and Hcrod-iike inianicide into the
do of Polish childhood-whon we see him actin
thus, and leaving himself nothing to add ''to dam
nat,on," we should not call him "miscrcant," but
oxcain, "Oh! thou art worse than words can give
the 'out."-(Chccrs)
Sir Robert PEEI. said it was very well for Hon.
members to say that was the time To so to war,
and that Franco and England should compel Russia
to act Justly towards Poland but ever there exist
cd u moral obligation upon any country, To weigh
well the Justice of entering upon war, we'll rs the
probability of its success, existed at the present
moment upon Great Britain. Before they lightly
determined upon war, and predicted it's success,
they should consider deeply us to its probable con-
sequences. He would suggest to the Hon. Gentle
man, (Nlr. Fcrguson) an addition to his motion. As
under the Treaty of Vienna it was said that Poland
was to have u Constitution, he thought copy OF
that Constitution ought to be laid OIL the table, with
| the other documents.
lie doubted the policy Of exciting the pride and
resentment of the Russians to such extent az to
induce them 10 rally on the side of the Emperor,
to protect not only him but themselves from insult
hear, hear. Such language was calculated tc
lower tho character of the House and to diminish
its means of rendering assistance to Poland; by
making il impossible for Russia to listen to mode
rate remonstranccs from those who had INDUCED in
| such language. He would venture to say that the
hear, heart 1t was by pursuing moro dignifet
course that they had excited i'll their favor the sym
pathes of the people of Europe.
Before tho House INDUCED such sympathes t'
the extent of risking war, he thought clca
case should he made out, not only of obligation
the part of this country, to interfere, but also
probable in the event of such interference
-(hear, hear.)
Mr.. G.. FERGUsoN acceded TO the suggestions o.
| the Right Honorable Baronet, and after shortl,
replying, the motion was agreed to- and tho address
was ordered TO be presented to his Majesty, by
such Members of the House Members ais
of his Majasty's most Honorable Prvy Council.
| The orders of the day were then disposed of
| and the House adjourned at half past two.
