=5 ‘illations’, u *vai tiMjpedieui to make public. Ko terring to tbs other observations of the ooble Carl who • , preceded bim, he said, that stipulations, as between any parties, there was none; bnt there wa9 a species of understanding' which existed between the humblest individual in the Government and the highest, on points of the great sy stem of policy which regulates the (affairs of this country. I,nrd Godkuk h felt himself called upon, by what hnd been said, to explain (be circumstances which oc casioned the change of Government. Tho immediate cause which led to it was an irreconcilable diderence of opinion upon a subject of the deepest import, be tween two members of that Government, holding si tuations of the highest distinction m the adinimslra tion of public affairs. It had been intimated to him, hv a Member of the Cabinet, that it would be a veiy desirable thing to place in the chair of the Finance Committee an individual in the other Inline, whom i, he know to be a man of the highest honor and uncor- 1 riiplible integrity, apt for (he business, and conversant : with all (hose points which would necessarily come ! under the view of the committee. As the matter was! not brought regularly before the Government, but on ' • V mentioned to him in a casual and iiicideni.il man- . n?r. hn did not conceive that he was called upon to j ’* express any other opinion than this:—that being a| question especially within the province of I lie House j of Commons, he should entirely approve of the decisi j on made upon if by (hose Members of the Cabinet j who belonged to that branch of the Legislature. It j happened that a communication uu the subject was | made without the knowledge of the Chancellor of the i exchequer. This he (bought ail oversight, and la- ' mealed it; and begged that no time should be lost \ in explaining to the Chancellor of the Exchequer the i whole of the circmnstancos, which waH done by his ! r ght honorable friend tho Secretary of State for the j Colorfles. No objection whs then made, nor, hs far • as he (Loid -Goderich) hml heard, was any offVricc ' then taken by him at what bad been done. It did. i however, so happen, that the next day, afier he had j the subject under his consideration, he found very j *■'rong objections to the proposed appointment. 7base I objections he (Cord G.) understood a* with lorn (‘he! Chancellor ui the Exchequer) thin to (he individual I named, to whose appointment, he could not then ac cede. explanations and letters followed between the | f hancellor of the Exchequer and the Secretary ol J State for the Colonies, which the latter, as well as i lie (Lord G.) considered perfectly salisfactoiy, so far so ai least as to have rem ived the necessity for the person, by whom the objection had been mule, re signing office in esse the appointment was persisted hi. All this occurred between ibe end of November, and the beginning ol December; and on the t2id of December, be fust received from (he Chancellor of tbe Exchequer a letter, stating bis objection to the proposed appointment in form, and that l.e felt it his duty to place Im office at his (Cord G’t) dispotal, ir it irtiould be any inconvenience to appoint any other »..*veii«uiueiior 01 me r^XCIIO quer afterwards constantly referred to that letter, as involving l:i* resignation a# tlie necessary consequence m that appointment; on the other hand, the Secretary n: State distinctly and unequivocally stated, that he fidt hii own honor and character so involved in the ^ appointment, that he cutiM not acquiesce in any change. There was thus an irreconcilable difference ot opinion between the individuals holding two of the most important and efficient mficas in the Stale, on a question of vital importance to the proper conduct of the affairs of the kingdom. He (Lord G.) then repre •voted to Ins Majesty the situation in which the Gov ernment was placed. His Majesty decided on send tug a communication to the noble Duke (Wellington' and he (Lord G.) ceased to hold the situation in which he had boon placed. The noble Lord then one rod into a vindication of lus own motives and conduct m Accepting I bat situation, in discharging its duties, and in quit ting it. \Y Inis he hail the proud consciousness of linking always dona his duty to the best of his ability, ho felt that his lionoe and character were unassaila ble. lie then entered into a defence of the Treaty of July last, relative to Turkey and Greece; but con emred in the objection to produce the papers noiv moved for. The E*il of Km* >\ contended that the hostilities which ban olace were the necessary conseqiien cos of the instruction *o the Adini*ais--to pit-rent all collision between the* boiligerams. ID pursuance of tlie treaty of July; and when the question catTtS under the consideration of their lordships, ho pledged iiim salt to prove that the treaty was indefensible b\ (lie law of nations, as applied to such a subject. It haiT been represented as something very wrong to give public explanations; but if «t was wrong in fha* House, why was it not so at an election? The Duke of Wki.i.inuton objected to tlie pro duction of the papers on hie grounds urged by the Karl of Dudley, and defended ilie treaty, winch he thought it Ins first duly tocariy into execution. The noble earl (t.’aeroarvon) talked of guaian'ees Did he suppose that gentlemen, who had don>» him (the Duke of Wellington) (lie honor to connect themselves with him in that service, imagined that he wjs a per son having such principles that they could riot trust hun without a guarantee llut ho would not abandon them for some corrupt purpose of Ins own, after hav ing accepted their support an I assistance? Was if to be supposed that the light honorable geiifetiiaii al io led to b*, tbo noble ci.-l ever used sucii exprersions as were ascribed to hiur at the Liverpool election? It was much more probable, though he (the Duke of " elliogton) had not llfbught it north his while to ask for ant' explanation on the subject, that his right honorable friend had staled, not that be had concluded am 'vm'i'-Mio ir.iigiui Willi III . out umr Stie ".Mil, ol wIiDin 11»#- Government whs composed, ivete in them selves a sufficient guarantee to the public that their measures would be siiob as would tie conducive lo bis Majesty's honor and interests, ami the happines. o! •he people. Irut if be bad given a guarantee to Ins right honorable friend, what had he done for the oilier members of the Government? Was there no l j.lv rise in Die Government but his right honorable t iend? Kvery minister, surely, formed a part ol it. 1 «very one was equally at liberty to -late his opinions on every subject lie might propose for the coast leia* lion of the Government. The present Cabinet was conducted on the same principles as that of Lord l.i verpool, of which, for eight years, he (tne Duke of \V ) was a member. Me was an assontmg patty to the greatest number of the measures of that Government. Ilis opinions weru perfectly well known. He had do parted hum none of them, nor did he beli.-ve that his ngbt honorable Iriend had departed from any of iu»— (Hear.) The Marquis of Cf.Awetnoe regarded the construc tion of the Cabinet under the noble Duke, as a na tional calamity. Ho expressed Ins surprise at the coalition of the right honorable gentleman, (Mr. j llnskisson,) with those whom, only a few mouth ago. be had declared nothing should imbue him lo take cffice with those who had puisued with calumny to the grave his late lamented friend, ( Mr. Calming.) In that declaration, it was understood, loo, that the noble *«ail (Duilly) and some others had joinc I. He «ra3 vure that, under no circum-laoces, would Mr. Can mng have given bis support to the noble Duke; and in support of that assertion, he would read an extinct from a letter addressed to the noble Duke by Mr. ! Canning, in May last, in answer to a speech made jn the I louse [The extract strongly exprn-sed tbe opinion of Mr. Canning, that it was wholly yut of the question to think of his Grace ever being at the head of the Government. The union of the whole power of the country, civil and military, in the same hand would be vholly incompatible with a free constitu tion, and nothing could induce him to servo under a government so constituted J The Earl of UtfPt.r.r said it was s«ate l that there were certain persons now in the Government, who, soon after the formation of the late Cabinet, had used angry expression* toward tbe member* of that C’abi net, and particularly towards its illustrious bead; and if was therefore said that, a* he had been a member of that Cabinet, and had acted under its leader, ho ought tn have declined participating 10 the priyonl administration. Now, he wnuld ask fboir lordships whether the icernory of such expressions o^gh* to I Ott (Uviveti.- end whether theie ought to be »ucu f I 1!° 8acret* ,Juf> of immortalizing- hatred; an<J I v ie icr (lie grouo Js of public action ought always (a <8 owned on private enmity or private friendship? |j0 would ask, with reference to a recent example, whe ther there ever had been sentiments inure differing from each other, or opinions more at variance, than t lose which characterized the differences f unfortu nately not entirely political.) between two statesmen, one of whom afterwards acted under tbo other, and succeeded him in his office? Yet, notwithstanding the example afforded hy the • conduct of that noble lord (Castlercagh,) and that ! right honorable gentleman, (Mr Canning,) what was , the lesson of the noblo Marquis opposite? After such an example, was it from thu noble Marquis that he was to learn the lesson of uncompromising hostility? lie saw no grounds ol a personal nature sufficiently strong to justify hioi in disconnecting himself from the (internment. In the sonse ufooe man batgainiog to give up something to promote his uniou with aoo ther, there had been no “stipulation;” but « c jnversa tion and understanding on tomo important pomls there certainly bad been. It was understood (hit tl.« pro sent Cabinet, like those which had pi corded shonM 1 be neutral upon tbe question of the llui.ian Cuthdic claims; aud.wiih regaid to the foioign p. ticy oi the country, (ho noble Duke at the head of the Govern ment had stated, that having found by the councils of bis predecessors, (bat his majesty wss bound hy treaty to perforin certain agreements entered into with other powers, lie spontaneously, and as part of his duty, would maintain and perform those agreements, fiom a proper regard tor the honor of his majesty, and the interests of his country. With this understanding he had not Mr ashamed to retain, tinder the present gov a rumour, the situation which lie had beid under die last. Tim Marquis of Lamsdowm: said he was perfectly willing to acquiesce m the objection of his noble friend, (the Eail of Durl.'oy,) lo the production el ilie papers. The papers, when produced, would most fully justify the conduct of Sir K. Codrington, by the cir cumstances under which ho led the liritish fleet in to the harbor of Navarino. The jieace of the woyjd was tho standard by wh eh the no I icy of die inter fere nee in the affairs of tho Turkish Government wnh Greece was to he determined. They must see thoi« papeis, ami then they might judge whether the law nt nations ha.l But beeu complied with in that particular case. i ne noble (Marquis tlien ftdvprting to rermt events, sni»l tluit he fell as imicli bound in xet himseif right \\ iih the ptihlic as a right honorable statesman v\ ho had made state, mejits in nimtliei place, in which he had stated the i.ib siituce of a conversation ivltit it had passed between them on the I 1th January, connected with ll»e dissolution of the Cabinet that had recently taken place. Alter that con v»rsatmn, he (the Maiquis of L.) left jnwn, and on his letnm. the right lion, gentlenuui saw him again, and com menced the conveisatmn by stating the circumstances which had led him to determine on seceding from thw then Cat.i m-f, ami that he knew a priqiosiliiiii would he made to l int (the Maiquis of !•;)—he then stated the impostth:!! y of his acting with such a government, aiiei the t.’rClaraiams which had ber-n made last year hy those who. it was now said, were to compose the Cabinet. Alter that determi nation had been stated, he (the Marquis of I. ) as frankly stated his own. declaring the impossibility ol his acting with those from whose administ.atinn lie thought the coun try could never hope for a beneficial government, and that he would only join a Ministry on the expiess ground that steps should be adopted for settling mid tranqtiiiizing Ire land. He did not now dhmplain of the statement which the right bon. gentleman bad made. There was nothin unfair or tmeaudidin it; hut lie regietted that in his anxiety to set himself right with his constituents, he had, in con veying t.i them some notion of the dissolution of the govern ment, thought himsclt hot,ml to withhold that which hath ! ''’’hie carle (I'.u li-dr j and himself (the Ma.quisnf I,.) had slated to be fie principal cause of it. One thin •, however, lie must confess, pleased him. The right hou. gentleman's statement went the whole length of say ing that the wh.de foreign and ennimerrial policy of the conuiiy was guaranteed tube the same as that of the administra tion of Mr. fanning. (Heai!) That was a testimony of the strongest kind, that the present ndminisliaiinn weie convinced of the wisdom of that policy. He was glad that the noble lord (Kll>*nboinngli) opposite. now .c j lieved fio*u tin* rhaige of having indulged in a personal an." I oimsity against Mr. Canning, and that his strong rxpies siuns were declared to have been against the policy of j that right bon. gentleman, and nut to have originated in personal disid.e. \\ non he resigned the seal, of Ini oilier, ■m did not led any thing like an intention to enter upon a course of opposition to tin* government; still |er« did he feel it now. when lie found that it w.r» tp be conducted nn ■ principles which he approved. With respect to what was I crillctl the Catholic question, lie certainly knew that he did | not entertain the same sentiments as tin; noble Duke, but, at the a Him- lime, he Misted that it would not, on that ac | coiint, tie allowed to retrograde. Me hoped that i; would ! be treated as a neutral quest inn, hut he nevertheless ivai: i ml with anxiety lor the result. He would nut prejudice | any man. lie hlinuld watch every thing that tor!; place, as a member of thr legislature of his rouuliy; anil lie a« I suied the noble Duke that he w ished him lint most form i unle surrc.se in his artministialion: lie also begged leave to 1 assure him, u hirh he did with a firm conviction of its truth, j that whatever he might he able to achieve, llieie was one thing, winch, with all his military sucrt-SK, he never could j achieve, ai d against which Ire warned him—let him re | member that he might conciliate, hut thnt he never could J reconquer Ireland. (Heai! Hear! Hear!)

(Hear! Hear!) It was Die fashion to think that all our foreign policy was attributable to Mr. Canning; perhaps tins noble Marquis might suppose that the recognition of! the State* of South America was owing to that Minister: i hot in fart, it had long before been decided_at the As- I seinhly of Ministers at Aix la Chapel '. —that affairs! Were gradually moving towards that result, and the only i question tvas ns to the proper time- The principle,, therefme, of that recognition, did not belong lo .Mr. Can- ; mug; with respect to the question of Portugal, the point was not one that tinned on the principle of policy, but! on the principle of gou I faith. As to the question of, Greece, those who were desirous of promoting Mr. Can- j ning'a policy, would, no doubt, persi .-re in the course! he bad begun; and, indeed, if his policy was to be litu- ! bed to the tieaty of the 6th July, he (Lord F. ) was ready , to admit t'oat he should not be disposed to advise his Majesty to "iolate his plighted faith; but, as to the rest of; the quest ion, lie did not, by so saying, stand committed.) He never was a personal enemy of Mr. Canning'll and ! indeed he might say that he. hardly knew him, for lie be- \ lieverl he never met him but once or twice, and then i m-ioly in the 'ordinaly way of intercourse. Me thought of him only ns a public man, and as n public man he held lfini,vaiid still did so. to lie a dangerous ma ii, and if he Mood there at this moment hr. wohM again oppose him as such. When Mr. Canning's commercial policy was brought forward, the noble Marquis would doubtless re collect that he (Mr. V. ) sat by bis side and did not oppose it. In what respect then had he gone, bark Loir, the opin i ion which he once entertained? With respect to the Ca tholic question, however paradoxical it might appear to the noble Marquis, he (l.oirl K.) felt convinced that it was likely to derive more good under the present govprn went, than it would have done under ni», and for this rea. sun: because, if brought forward under his, it would have excited those who were against the measure to a strong resistance, which was not so likely to arise under the pre sent administration. Loi l Wtf Aitrvt i.irrE said, that although the noble Isor.l (KHenborou^i) seemed to satisfy him*p!f with the de* fiMirt* he had m*dc, the quest ion was, whether the Ifotvse would be satisfied with that explanation? Was Mr, Canning indeed a dangerous man, as (lie noble Lord Hied to make him appear’ And, if such were the case, what were they to think of those xvho avowed that they intended to support the principle of that dangerous man? Surely there were some great confusion here, or else the opposi. tmn Hint had hero shown by them to Mr. Canning’s min istry must have ben, personal. But it was not enough to tell the country that ,he treaty of the flfh July should be |»orsevered in.

A wrilfif who Iruin Lancaster cuuuty, in the yesterday’s Luquirer, has favored llie public with some Presidential calculations by which lie gives Jackson 59 majority of LI ectorul votes without counting upon “rational probabilities.” tie profos-.es to be extremely cauJid, and thinks that every man of “judgment and candor*” who “haa kept his ejeon the whole circum ference of prpgidssive political events,” will admit (lint he has not “rendered unto I'resar, (Gen.

What docs this prove but that the Jackson men had no man whom they could elect? Shall we be told that Benton was reelected to the Senate?

New York ^avo Mr. Adams 26 voles m 1824—Why should it he supposed that she will give him leas in *62!!? Jackson's popularity in New Yoik is of the hot bed boi t — forced by the exertions of a few managing politicians.,. It is confined to the citifo and the neighborhood of the cities, while the ‘Lion of the Wist”—the powerful counties to (he west St north of Albany, are almost unanimously for the administration. Why should “Veritas” fix upon the nembeis 20 and 1C?—Irow comes he to know ho accurately, that Jack son will receive the first, and Mr. Adame the last! number? One would think that this an urate arith-j rnetician, would not have undertaken to determine car cathedra, a question that poses the New Yorkers themselves—and would ha.a had tho modesty tofeiass New York with the doubtful. Not so. He has looked upon the “whole circumference of progressive political everts,” and ho has learned to a certainty that New Yoik Will give 20 to Jackson and 16 to Adams — neither more nor less. In point of fact, the vrholo bod? of “signs” from New Yoik since Clinton’, death, are favorable, and there is no good reason to believe that Now York will give Mr. Adams fewer votes than in 1824. We are very liberal in conced ing Jacksan 10 votes there—and we therefore score 26 foi Mr. Adams in New York—Less will do, but wo want that others shall Lave justice besides Caesar. Our Lancastrian next comos to Maryland—Adams », and Jackson 6! Upon what “well ascertained and recorded facts” has “Veritas” given to Jackson a ma jority in Maryland? If wc are correct in our remi niscencies, tljc Baltimore Jackson zealot, Mr. Carr of the Republican, lias never claimed more than five electoral votes for the flero in Maryland, fa fhe Admimatration’s having a majority in the last Le gislating, the “recorded fact,” upon the strength ol which the Lancasteri.ro claims a major4ty for Jt kson?

We next arrive at the doubtful list, of our hopeful arithmetician* Pennsylvania is not doubtful—nor Virginia—nor any State claimed for Jackson—but Veritas thinks Ohio. Indiana, Louisiana, and Ken tucky doubtful! It *vas rather loo strong a game to give them all to Jackson—and as this coulJ not be attempted with even tolerable grace, Veritas resolved to make them ail doubtful. Now we do hum bly conceive, that if'there is a single Slate in the Union as little doubtful as any other fltale, that State is Ohio. Where are IhoJ “record*! facts” that bear out the learned Theban from Lancaster, iu classing Ohio among the doubtful States.'’ Are they that two thirds of the last Legislature were Adminis- j {ration—that alt the odicerB of the State are adiniois lion—that Joo.

If these will serve “Veritas,” lie is welcome to them. As far as our observation extends—& we certainly have tried to koep a heedful eye upon “the whole cii cumfcrcoco of pro gressive political tf sols”—so tar irom thoir being anv •‘well ascertained and recorded facts” to justify Veri tas in ranking Ohio among the doubtful—thor* is a single “sign,” big or little—there is not (lie slightest pretenco of any kind or description, for concluding (hat Ohio is not entirely safe for Adams. Indiana too is doubtful says VeritasI What are ilta “re corded’* evidences in support of this position? We say there are none—the whole flow and cnrient or signs and indica tions are the other way. A majority (ami we bolieve a large majority) of the late Legislature was administrating so ate the Delegation to Congress. In most of the Jack* son osiiinatre, Indiana is resigned to the administration—it wn» reserved for our Lancastrian to make iha discovery tiint she whs in doubt.

None. Delaware will ussuiedly support ?V1 r. Adams — and we so score her accordingly. Last though not least of tho doubtful, stands Kentucky —ami Keuiucky is the only one of the five, the indications lento which, authorise her being ranked as doubtful. She returned a majority of Jackson men to Congress—but at the same time a ina jotity of Administration mm to each Hnn-te of ih«? Geuioal Assembly. The Administration majority in full r.oufidenee oi triumph, determined to change the nmde of voting from the Disliiel to the General : ticket—and the Jncksoo minority with real or affected ! roufi l^oce, (tire last may be inferred, aa they could not t help themselves) supported the change. “Recorded facts’' | certainly authorise the supposition that Kentucky is doubt ful—while ou the other hand, private accounts speak with . absolute confidence of the vote of the gtate for the Adtnin j i'trniion, since the change of the law. We have little or ' no doubt on the subject— yet We aro willing to rank Ken i totky among the doubtful. j U’e have followed and sv- hone exposed the fallacious ; calculations of this writer. Wc a,» far from saying or l believing, that Ire has designed to impose upon the public , rather believe that he has-been duped by his own cre | 'Polity ami wishes, aided iry the circumstance of his seeing but one side of the question through newspapers that would consider it treason to Jackson, to “record'* any facts unfavorable to him. }V«, at least, have assigned the “recor | ded facts” upon which we hose our conclusions. Veritas lias ; only said thnt he possessed these “recorded facts.” Until he ) condescends to reveal them, we rather behove our state j inant will carry more weight than Iris. We Imve stated 1 nothing i:i which we have not entire confidence—unless it he as to the New York vote. In that cave, we adopt the | opinion of intelligent and judicious New Yorkers.
