donS,) the following remarks ia the Of de-
bate on the corn laws In the House Of Lords, june
18th.
Earl Ftzwilliam said that very eminent chef
magistrate ON the other side Of tn. Atlantic, had
given utterance to sentiment which was much APP
proved, and applied to this question, /" that the
greatest OF all things was to have an independent
say that the President of the United States was per-
fsctiy safe in making such declaration. That was
Probablya country IN which there would be the
least necessity for importing foreign He
quite sure that the President or the United States
might without any Inconvenience say that il was
very great advantage that q country should be in
dependent OF foreign supply. He therefore did not
rely so much on the authority of Mr. Van buren, a
most respectable man, no doubt-as he should have
done had he (Mr Van Bureny been the first magis-
trate OF country where it might be occasionally
necessary TO in reduce a little foreign corn But
the fact that they did not do without this TO-
reign corn and they could not do without it long.
Lord Melbourne in the course Of his reply to Earl
Fnzw,lam, said that he could not dismiss from his
mind the apprehension that il unwse to rely
entirely for the maintenance of great portion OF
the population upon foreign supply. In that OPT
mon he had the support of MI. Van Buren,. The
United states, with great and yearly increasing
population, with almost unlimited amount Of land,
whica vet remained 10 be brought into cultivation
might be supposed TO be in less danger than any other

ply OF food for its people Mr.. Van Buren,
sensible man. his opinion entitled to great con-
sideration; but this was not his opinion alone, but
that OF great portion of the people Of the flourish
ing nation. Mr.. Van Buren, was great magistrate,
and he Lord Melbourne) entertained the greatest
respect both for him and fer the people over whom
he presided and he was justified in belle wing that
the speech which he had made upon the subject of
the corn laws, before his re election he would not
have given his support to the opinion if it had not

constituents. (Hear, hear, and lsughter) In com.
mercial point of view, he (Lord Melbeurne) had
great doubts whether the repeal Of the corn laws
would have the effect anticipated fran it. He
thought 1t highly inexpedient, in the present excited
condition OF the public mind, and amid the divisions
and animosity that existed to into the consider
alton Of it, His noble friend Earl FitzwillIam) had
carefully abstained from stating his object, whether
1t be for fixed duty for dimunion of the scale
as it at present stands Ii fix ed duty the OBJ
ject, he Lord Melbourne) seeing clearly that that
object could not be carried without great struggles
and Jnficts and tuggngs of society to its foauda-
tons and the engendering of the btterest feelings
OF animosityhe did not think the ad vantages worth
the evils of the struggle, and he for one there
lore decidedly say no., to the present motion.
