But passing this topic if we look the situation Of the
county, and compare with what when the present
Government acceded TO power, I think there is much
ground for regret and uneasiness and no ground for mi
unph or congraulaon the part of the Government and
though they doubt will still have uaiortv Of ,,,, =;

divisions IN this house. (hear hea and if another v.nr

the relations OF the country When we left mower and Tho

mouth what Is England going dor and for the answer
To that question they looked London and TO DOWNING

persons asks, What England going to dor the anscr
Is we cannot exactly tell but If you ask in Paris or St

reign as IN domestic affairs, the Government do nothing of
heir own The only principle they act uuon there ia the
one which they ought adopt home namely that Of
cession lCheers. Sir, wise Government in its home
Po'cy' CONSIDERS the reasonable of the people: in i
foreign policy, prepared resist the unjust and

ee are topics Tar too serious discussed and too
important 10 the public allow TO dwell simply ON ner
onsI considerations applying the individuals who may
happen 10 be in the Government IL is impossible for nn
one 10 look at the state OF the country in all domestic

10 what l. raising home. (Cheers1 agree with Mn.
right honorable baronet that there Is nothing in any decree
alarming IN the symptoms which have shown themselves
anywhere that should lead think that wise and en-
Hshened Government having views Of it, ovnnot Ike
Tie present Government, IN
a mighty maze, aud all vithou, a plan
-'hee's-theTe IS nothing haa wise and enlightened Co
NeFnmeni having views Of its own being united in those
views, and having energy enough follow them out coud
not surnount and by surrounding restore the country To-
tranquility and prosperity. Ii not therefore somuch the
''uJH o inc country which inspires with uneasness
and alarm, as the condition OF the Government itself Ii
because see Government who evidently are disunited
IN teir own opinions, who have no views OF any measures
C-cuAed to meet the difficulties and the oxgenccs of a
Sls' ahG VINO are now preparing let long session Of
Parliament draw 10 lis close without giving even the most
distant intaton that between this and the next meeting
H armament they shall be able devise intend to con
sdeT any measures calculated appease and soften the dis
contents OF the country therefore that look upon tho
present IS most alarming state OF things think II i,

Wiling 10 nope that the medgreuess Of the statements we
nave heard from the Government may be the real indi

ucat mem u turn their most anxious and serious thoughts
10 these SUBJECTS; do them not to let Parliament Sc
pa5a'e without saying something which least better
expectations Tor the future be founded; and will sav
with Nose who have already spoken on this side OF the
