"He agreed with his Noble Friend. that mira.
cles were not to be expected from the Reform
Bill. and he vas sure that the peopIr4had roo
much good sense TO think SO. There were many

cept their object was to oppose the maintenance
of arbitrary power cheers He was free to
admit that with popular Government there was
less facility to 90 to war. But let the people not
flatter themselves With the delusion that the TEN.

which would break the peace of Europe, unless

The opinion of so great man was not to be
