In the course of the debate, Mr.. A. Barring

'sthat they had resigned oficein consequence
of their advice to the Grown Respecting the

NJ Lord Althorp rose anlidstc cheers, and spoke
with great animation. The Hon. Gentleman
has said that he is ignorant of the causes
!. which had induced us TO retire from Office,
& and that he cannot imagine what was the ma
ture Of the advice which we gave to the
King; and yet throughout the whole Of his
speech il was evident that he was aware of
the cause, as is every other gentleman ia this
House. (Cheers.) No ono could be igno-
rant after the statement which made here
last night; and the whole course Of the Hon.
Gentleman's argument was such as to show
that he was aware oft. (Cbeers.) stated
last night, that the advice which we gave was
occasionedhy our finding that it was impos-
sible 10 carry the reform bill. We, therefore,
Sir, asked bis Majesty TO enable us to take
Il such steps as were necessary to carry the
bill Hear =-and to carry it where. Sir? p
Why in the House Of Lords. (Repeated
cheering) That was the statement which
made last night. But. as Ey Hon. Friend
does not think that was enaugh, | have no
Sob|cction to state, for his better satisfaction,
that the advice which We thought il our duty

that It is impossible to discuss the present
question withoutreferrinS to what took place
there. agree with him that we must take
It into consideration but he says that it was
mere question Of form. Now, Sir, last
night expressly admitted that it was ques-
tlsn Of the greatest importance. Yet it was
plain to my noble Friends, and to every man
10 the House, That after what occurred in the
House of Lords il would be impossible to car
ry the bill-(Cheers) for by the decision Of
majority of that House the bill was taken
out ofthe hands ofmy noble Friends. II was
no longer under their control or manage
but was put into the hands ofthose who were

therefore but one sftwo courses to pursue
