speech has been the Ohiec' o much criticism, aud near
" every phrase in i. has been distorted did on That
occas on address meetlug; aud occupying puohe
position | very sorry that any Inconvenience should
have arisen to any any expression which tell
from me which may have been misinterpretei. IL 8
far fl m my wish, and | believe from my nature, TO
cause ,ry pain 10 any one Those sentences
have been twisted mproperly and wish 10 refer par
ticularly 10 he Of Count Morny, Priace de gn
sud the GTanG Duke Constantine. No" az regards
Count Morny called him ." lie plus grand speculatedr
de Europe" lsughteTl, but repudise having said
anything -sus his honor or character liiesr hear

Il at serious objections made TO words wrote
To Count Morny stating that Whatever envy or malice
might have msIepr, sentsd, i absolutely repudiaed
any intention Of reecog upon his ehsrt3er oc post
ton / could not say Hear hesrl. With respect
10 the Crane Duke Constsnine certainly did say thN
he did not perhaps quite impress me with the idea OF a
frank and open. hesred sailor. Thsse words are not
mre: these words we're used by gallant admiral whom
set string there. ] never sad word against the
Grand Duke Constsltiu or any member OF The royal
family of thai country. WHAT meant 10 convey VAS
this that sr from giving the impression OF merely
SIM pie sailor h. gave me the impess IN OF man OF
far ere alter grasp OF mind than any admiral IL ,ud
cheers With respect 10 the Prince de Llgne accept
the responsibility # all the words used but will Fay
this that am sorry to have caused any pain But
was talking in fsmiia way aud did say that ne was
ss stifl and st1rvhed a. Queen ElIsoeths MI.
Laughter Isppesl 10 any gentleman who was then
present, if single wori fell from my lips which might
not have fallen from the most siraghtlsoed gentleman
in this house Laughter and cheers consider that
it was an innocent attempt TO give tew light aud airy
sketches-I lausherl;-sn as Goldsmith says, " to
hold the mirror upto natures and to ctch the annsrs
living az they rose. Renewed laughter be- a. the
present moment with all the esrnestress and sincerity
of feeling although do net feel called upon to do 40,
if | have fsllen in the estimation of those whose
opinions / value to offer most ample expression OF
regret ii tuythng that has fallen fron my lips should
have capted sny paln or iDcOnvenen e to any one
chfers;- and think this the mot BETTING dmeRds
hono,o5,e thar can m,ke. loud cheers
