MR.. BRIGHTs SPEECH ON Err. ROEBUCKS
MOTION

HIS OPINION OF LORD PALMEKSTON.
The noble lord the member for Tiverton Lord Palm
erstoD) had not only not been punished, but, sup
pose, in humble imitati IN of rule which is said to
prevail in the Indian service, he rewarded for hs
wong doing-he has obtained position of greater
dignity and greater power. The question, therefore,
turns to thisit is reduced TO vote of censure upon
the existing Administration and chiefly the noble lod
ut the head OF the Government. That is the point Of
view in which the House will ultimately be forced 10
regard t-tbat is evidently the icton which the
speech Of the honorable and learned member places
upon the matter. believe that the noble lord, the
present First Lord of the Treasury, the most i'm
portant member Of Lord Aberlecn's Cabinet. Look
Mt his experience in matters of war aud diplomacy.
He had been minister when in the lndian Engsh
army sacrificed He had been in power when
embarked in the very questionable war with China
He war engaged in q war in Syria, which nearly
brought into collision with France He very nearly
engaged US in q war with Greece. lie had tired 10
enbroil us with America when he found fault with the
wise poicy of Sir Peel and denounced what lac called
the kshburton CAPT ulati0n. The noble lord too, has
had great experience in foreign affairs. lie has adj
dressed remoptrances 10 Europe powers which
called forth offensive answers, to which he has submit
ted with becoming and edfying humility; he con.
cerued IN the affairs of Sicily he aided the fall of the
Roman Republc-he did not aid the iungaians in
their struggle with Russia Cheers No man has acted
~ much in those affairs; and mans opinion would
be sought for by his colleagues than that of the
noble lord believe that it was sought and believe
moreover that can trace the handwork, the princi.
pies and the policy of the noble lord in the many aud
various calatos which within the last two years have
befaen this country The noble lord at the head
OF the Government did not satisfy my notion of what
right in the observations he made the other night
shall not comment what he said, but cannot IT,
frain from few passing observations what he did
not say. l did not hear from him the slightest indca
ton of regret that the noble lord the member for Lon
don had left the Government, did l.hear the slight
return from him, for the sincere expressions of adj
miraiion, and the compliments which had been paid
him by his late coll, ague. l thought the noble lord
was intoxicated Loud laughter. No, no, mean
Intoxicated with the nonOn-in fact that he
was willing 10 repeat what Sir Robert Walpole said
when he prevailed Mr.. Pulteney to accept peer
age. :" have turned the key Of the closet on him.
He appeared If conscious that he had GOT rid of his
ancient rival and about TO start without
ecmretiton the floor of the House leader Of the
Nhit party deposition chcersl | said before that
this was question of want of confidence in the noble
lord. The honorable and gallaat member for Hunt
mgdon who moved the previous question said that
wwas such vote Of want of coincidence he would
have supported il; and l think the noble lord Who
seconded him expressed a similar OpitiOn | regard IL
entirely in the light that il vote of wan: of conf.
dcLce in the noble lord, and on that ground ALL
give IL my support. Now ask the gentlemen who
are sitting me, and who heard the speech of the
