Lord J. Russell then rose aud spoke nearly os follows
Sir wish 10 make communication TO The House IN
conse quence OF what took place last night the motion
Of the right honorable barunet opposite for the rejection
of the bill which Introduced 10 provide fer The govern
me nj Of Jamaica II will be evident 10 the House that
that bill requiring more than ordinary support,
than ordinary confidence, and that 1t met with less
support ard less confidence than has been ordinarily
shown 10 her Majesty Ministers by this House. II has
beconr fore, their duty 10 consider what ought 10
be their with respect 10 the bill. Undoubtedly
il would have been in Their power 10 pass to unnlher
stage of the BILL and 10 ask ic the opinion oil The lluuse
again on that stage But see reason TO suppose
that the judgment Of the H"use would be other than That
which ii has already expressed.
We might, undoubtedly, with the majority no greater
than tina, had last night, be aL.e TO send The bill
the House oil Lords and leave TO them 10 deal with
il they thought proper But to take this course with
bill which in the Government al home, and in
the Governor and Council OF Jamaica unusual power,
would have The appearance Of throwing upon he Lords
greater responsibility than should be authorised in
throwing upon them after the vote of the other night
There remains then other course but 10 give up the
bill; and il becomes consequently question whether
having brought forward bill of this nature, We should
leave The affairs OF Jamaica and The affairs Of The West
Indian colonies in general in state in which the Mi
nsteTs Of the Crown ought not 10 be content 10 leave
them.
II obvious that in Jamaica the interests Of The
Crown would be greatly weakened, il any thing which
we were 10 do bore the appearance Of supporting what
must call the cuntunscy towards the Imperial Parlia
men of The House Gi Assembly there, think lIken Use
that the effect VI such with regard TO the other
colonies where there has been hitherto un ultimate ii
not ready, aoqnieScrnce in the measures OF the lmre
rial Parliament would be 10 encourage them either to
follow the example Of Jamaica than IL perscvere IN The
Course they have held up To This time.
But il would have been our duty within few days 10
bring on another qneston-a question of great import
TO the COLONIES oil Upper and Lower Canada, whose
affairs have long required and still do require the most
deliberate attention Of Parliament Now, il is evident
that the measure for the suspension Of The government q"
Jamaica having been opposed by such large numbers
lett us small mP jny that could not calculate up
on the support OF the house the question oil Cnnada
therefore, by continuing in The administration OF AFFAIRS
not having, as think we have rot, sufficient degree OF
support and confidence The part Of this house. should

her Marstys Ministers have considered themselves JUS
tilted in continuing in the administration of affairs, be-
cause they enjoyed The support and confidence OF The
Crown, and because they supported by The House
of Commons, but after the voteof last night, do not
think they entitled TO consider that, in regard 10 the
affairs OF the colonies, on which Government, il
