a man I would do again. (Hear, hr ar ) 1 afterwards
f ad some differences with a Nob’e Karl opposite (Grey,)
hut, no*withtlandii g, I felt called upon to retain the
position 1 held in tho Government a» long as 1 en
j>yed the approbat on of my Sovereign and the cot fi
denceol the Legislature. Then came the rev lution
in Krnnce, followed hy that of IMglutn, and like the
former revolution* of Naples and of Spajo, they n<fur
ally exalted a strong sensation here—a strong desire
fo parliamentary reform. Bill I did not ilnuk then,
any more than i think now, that that desire was irre
sistible. It P.t li a in - is t should see reasons fo decide
that the proposed alteration lo the constitution Is mi
neeeas ry, and ought not 'o be made, I ain cot.fi lent,
that ilia couivry will acquie co in that decision.—
(Hear, bear.) I believe that the wish of reform i
strong and growing; but if (be people see that tin sub
ject is fa'rly discussed, and honestly determined here,
I am sure that they will submit without a murmur
(Hear,hear.) A’ready tha sensa'ion produced hy die
French and H- lKian revolutions has subsided; the na
tive* aid th * cuuntty have seeu the deplorable result,
hy which those commodore have been followed,aid
are wi-ely warned by the sufferings of their neigh
L>or». Then e- me ihe question of the civil li*t. I do
not assert tl it ;here was ac'ually a combination tf par
ties on that occasion against the Government; bill I
certain!) heard It; and whether It were or were t o'by
cone f., part if certainly did unite, Mmie'ere were
left in a minority, and we thought proper lo re.ign.
This, I beg leave to sia'e, however, that the question
ol par is'iien ary ref rut had no mors to do with our re
retigni ion that it had to do with any other part of my
conduct. We were out voted on Monday, and Tin sday
morning I re»ig;ie< ; and for this reason, I would rot ex
pose his Majesty a ul the country to the incuttv- niencc
of being ont voted on the suld ct of reform ol Parlia
ment. d bore is ths truth. I repeat it; wo resigned
on Tuesday, because we did not eho se lo expose the
King a; d the country to the inconvenience of our be
ing defeated, as we should probably have bstn, on the
question of reform (Hear, hear.) We redgnetl be
cause we did not enjoy the confidence of the H u *
ol Commons, and it w*s not worth my while lo con
tinue in office a d ty longer with the chance of being
again out-volrd I now conio to the. rircnmsinnres tin
der which his M’jesty’s pre*ent Ministers came into

and peace, th, re is, I apprehend, no difference between
the Noble Karl and myn ll, It has turned out that not
a sixpence is to be r-tre irhed by the Nob e F.trl and

in point ol economy we hive done all tba could be |

K.irl liRKir iiiii lie would begin hy expressing tl e
same wi h nliirhthe NoMe Duke haJ expressed ‘o
waida him. He Wi.hcd Ic D d (hat he could convince
the Noble Duke of the eiror into which lie had lallen.
The Noble Duke thought that they were in trror; he
certainly thought ilia contrary; but which wan right
in e alone could -how There war, however, tl ii pre
‘umplion on his (Lord Drey’s) side, 'hat there was hard
ly * ">3n in that Mou e, or the country lhat did not al
ow that tome rhdiiKe was required. The point, lo.v
ev. r, to which the Noble Duka remained pledged was,
It t the thing was perleet as ii stood—that wi ll all ilj
rhn»e« It »vas counterbalanced in a great degree hy the
bench is it ha I confer r-d cn t!m country; that lloss a
huscs were an esstn’itl part of it, and that if they
were to be corrected or retracted, it would pul an coil
lo the glory ol tiie country. In thi. opinion, however
low men won't! be found to concur, and'the Noble Duke
biiiuelt had confessed that h i was obliged to lame.it
• hat he cool I not concur, with many if those wi ll
whom lie had been in the habit ol acting; indeed he
(Lord Drey) did not know that the Noble Duke ha!
stat'd that there was one with whom ha couid concur
He (Lord Drey) had not h»ard front any one, and ccr
ainly not from h a Noble Friend (Lord W.) that it
would be possible lo reform with safety, without mak
ing some attempt lo re«tor« ea Israeli >n and conhdenre
0 the people, hy giving them a share in the repr-e. n
tation of the rotintry, ol which they thought (hat they
were unjustly depr ved. The Noble Duke had slated
that the rotisi tpi moot the division again.'t the late Do
vernment < n die civil list had .ari-en irom a combinadon
ol par’ies II - trok it as indicating such a want ol c'ti
lt lenrs on the part of fh II .use/ ol Common.-; that he
thought it neccaery to resign—no* because the com
luittee was carried, but because he felt it to be his duty
&s a good and loyal subject, to save his Sovereign from
the difficult, and, perhaps, dangerous s tuation in which
he might he placed il the question of parliamentary
reform was iniredured. If .his, then, were the r.ve.it
was on account ol the «• l.ject ol reform lhat the NoMe
Duke had resign, d. (The Duke of Wel'isicton eapres
«ed his disstnl.) lie had been s'ating the Noble Duk-’s
own words.
The Duke of Wellington said 'hat he had dfltermin*
®d to resign because I.e had not the rot.fidenre o’ths
Hmi.;.. ol Commons. He might have remained longer
in effle- if the qiies'lun of reform had n>l beet, to come
on, rn the Tursi.y; bill deeming that he svis hound
to reign, he dcUr *:ned to do so on the Tuesday, and
ha sc. tainly chose the Tuesday on account of the mo
I»on for rrlbriri
Karl Deey bed already s*a!e I |he oh-oi v.ifions rd the
N .hie Duke as tiny struck him, and the only difT fence
appeared to t o, that, having determined to resign he
hastened it lo av id the Mme when the question rfpar
liamentary reform might hav« been carried. (H,r
b ar, bear.) Th re could he nodmbt .hit -h rr did
.•x:«t a strong feeling in tavor of parliamentary reform
from whatever 'ourc- it might have b-*n derived)
among the people ot K .glar’d, and the Noble I) ike had
dated, that if I e had remained in offi e, he Iir msuo
to apprehend ’hat it might lie decided in a way adv tm
to hi' wi lies. The opinion ofihe necessity that >h»re
was for r»form, had not pres<s.l it-elf upon his mind
then for the first hm»; for, on <h» first night .hr,
»i ii, ho had i.a.l a strong Deling on lha subject, and the
Noble Duke could not lorgel it, I .r it had procured
1 'm him that declaration which had «o astounded the
country. He could not have forgotten that hn (Lord
O ) on the first night of the ses ioii stated, that o- e of
•h* b-.tsecuri fee and defences to which tho Pailiam-nt
c ni l resort, won d he to take measures for such a reform
to til- House of Commons as would restore that c uifi
ce mi ih> put of the p.-np!* on whioh alone die t ru
r y of lh<- Dov-rntn-M could r-st. And he would «-k if it
were p «.ib|e for him (tf he meant .« maintain any

t.utthit of being allowed to s'sts lo >n Psrlismsnt,

(ore staled (u be necessity (or (he security o( the
•ouuiry? But the noble Duke bed alluded to some
declaration which he (Lord (Jrey) had made iu the
year 1817—he t'i 1 uot know on what occasion. Tne no
ble Duke seemed to think that the declaration width he
iheu made proved that Ins opinion then was not the
aarue as it was now. He (Lord Urej) would not un
dertake to recollect every (bm< Hat he had said curing
• ho period ol 15 years tint he had occupied a seal in
Parliament. lPit he was to cei hder.t in the principle
that iiad regulated his opinion—ho was so confident ot
il.o consistency ol the viewi ho iiad enlerU.urd,-and
hat lie had never swerved trom urging the nece.si'y o'

out bar ol coutraJic ion, that he had never raid any

ai-ua.icn made It possible Icr them to adopt any gnat
system o( retrenchment. In tho s‘ate of Europe
tliey cotil.l not diioiuish thrir army or navy. In the
of dorcesdc affiirs, and considering low thr
military fo.re war dinted, it had been absolutely ne
cessary *o make an addition to it, and tho t-p-ci• I com
missions that had been iseu d had rf course been a
sonn e of expanse to the country.—Ncvrtthele a, he
hougiil that they had a right to take ciedit for Inving
done a great deal unde- the circumstance*. Th- pen
dcu list had bso:i reduced (run 159,000/ to 75,000/
though It l ad be"’ti thought not right to deprive those
that actually possessed this charitable allowance, which,
in most instances, was wordii'y besiowtd. lu tha'
pet sion list, howtver, he had no share whatever, or at
U&el the only one that he hail recommend'd w .a cne
that wrs granted in 1806 to the widow ol Mr. Fox. I.,
the post-office, whUh was under tho n anag-ment ol
hi- Noble Friend, w'«o, he mud say, was one of the
most efficient public offic-rrs tlie country ind ever bad,
there was to bs considerable reduction: no less than
forty or tilfy principal officers, and fi.m fifty m six y
inferior ones being cut otr, by which there would be a
saving to the c; untry of 20,900/. In addition to this,
ntai.y other savings had been « M.-cted in otbi r depart
ment-; xi:d lie thought be might appeal to the country
whether he had not dons all in the way of retrench
ment that was within his power. The last remaining
pool was that of parliameu ary reform.—The N ble
Duke iu spunking of this, had complained that the
uame ol li s Majesty had been unduly used; lie had,
h .’ever, adu i ted that the Government had not used
it utyot.d signifying that the King’s consent had been
given to tins measure, ai.d dial it was quite improper
>o ‘upposa that the introduction of it had iotluenced
any of .hi vote- in the other House of Parliament.
In this he list n«.Itt that the Noble Duke was quits cor
rcc’; and all that couM bo assumed wasihitih- mea
sure had b,on submitted to the King, ai d that his coc
-ent had been given. Hut waa this unconstitutional/
'Verc u it measure s ol it n introduced by message or by
spo rh, even before diey wore hi one lit into Pari a
incut? He thought, therefore, that the Gov'rumen t
sioul clnu from at y improper use of the King’s name
on this subjeet.—Hut he could not forget how the No
bl« Duke, on a former occasion, had turned round to an
i'lus riojs Duke and said that he could confidently as
serf that tha nna-ure he was then proposing had the
c. n*ent of the lau sovereign. He did not, however,
wish to build any vindication oa what had been an iin
p-oper precedent; but bo trusted at least tha Noble
Duke would remember iliis in mitigation ol what hu
had charged against them.
The Duke ol Wellington said ho had passed no
cen-ure.
c-ar» ur*y nail un<!er*tcot! the Nuble I) .ke 'o pay,
iliat tli«t Kil l’s name had been ured, and c-rtaioly
he hid understood, that as a censure. H it much stress
had also been laid upon lie Government having threat*
en*d the Parliament. They bad hell out no threat;
they I ad intended to hu/il out iid threat; they
were not authoiized iu hoid'ng out any threat.
A.I that ha would s.iy was, that ho ihuug'nl this
inea-uro, mi li as ii wa", recouuneuded by ttie Min
hiry, would be oi tin greatest importance to the
country; to lhat niea-uro ho was connected heati
ar.d aoul, and ho would tot ahru k from ary advice
which ha thougnt was necessary for its support.
(Hear, hear) The nable l),ike hid told them that
they i light to look to the opposition of a Legisla
tive Amenably, end n t to the qua! ficalion of tin vo
ters. Hut what they did wai to look *o that composi
t on so as to make i! tli * real representation of tin p >o
plo in Parliament, and how were they to do that but
by taking care that the electors should he such voters
m would ensure a real representation? TieNobl
Duke had also complained that the elective franchise
was to be extended to the cepyholdeis and leaseholders
in counties; and he hail stated that this wcu'd iucri ase
'be number of voter* by 6,000 in Hampshire alone
How this could be, he (Lord Grey) did not very well
know, for at pr< aec.t, including die 40j. freeholders,
the number* were net above 8,000 or 9.000, and
he, therefore, did not think that 'he change proposed
could make any (hiDg like the addition of which the
No le Duke had spok n. With respect, however,
to insertions or omissions, there would be no ol jee'ioii
to sueh if thay could be shown to bs necessary. The
Noble Duke had also complained that, underpin new
system, Government would be without its due in
fluence.*—Now, he (Lord Grey) thought that it would
s ill have all the icfhi'nse that it ought to possess. |i
would Slat,don lie adactitions of the peopL. IIo bad
no lear liut it would be able to carry all good measures
into effect. With respect to the church of England
and tithes, his answer wis this—that ho believed the
peop'e of England wern aMached, and justly attached,
to the support of the national church establishment;
and with a real House of Commons he thought there
wa* no lear (whatever attempts might bo made to cor
rect the ahtifes of that church) that there would he any
de ir* to invade any of her just right*. His No deFrlcnd
(Lo’d W h 'rneliffe) bad said that this was not a rest
ing placo, hut that it would laal to ulterior consequen
ces, and in the end w uld prove la’a! to the empire. He
(Lord Grey) believed that ths very reverse of this
would bo the case, for ho believed that it would bo ac
eepUd a* a very satisfactory measure. Hut supposing
t! at it elnml I protnee these conseqtinnc*». h.'w would
they bo amended by the proposal of hi* Noble Friend?
Hu Lad already stated that reform was irresistible, and
that no Government could exist wit! out doing some
thing to satisfy the people; if then he would da less
tb in this measure, was it not evident that the people,
who w re to he dissa'i.fisJ with the pres nt, would hi
sill im re ditsa'i fi <1 wi’h his Noble Friend’s |lati?
He wishelth.it his N ihla Frienl had stated what hi*
plan w i«; hu*, at all event*, it would servo (quall^ to
g.vo a fulcrum to th it h v«r by which, according to his
Noble Friend, all th- institutions of th*» conn'ry were
to be ov- rturned.—-When he (Lord Grey) had been call
ed on, by hi* public duty, to lo.,k at ibis measure, the
quei'iun wa», in what way it .bau d be h u lied? 8. ouM
it bo a eh-11 measure, by which they w> old
“Keep the word of promise to the car,

or should it be A measure sueh a* would -ai-fy the
country for a considerable period? He had been re
pro'.cl.ed with having gone 'ar heyrtid his original In
tentions. N iw ha had no l e«liation In saying, that
iIm first disprshion ol his mind had been to have llrnit
n I the m arure to a much narrower comp***; but wbeti
be came to I ok at it closer, am) to disease it with hi
•ol'eaguer, he had come to Hie opinion that no’hir g
short of what he had propo-red would satisfy the country,
and give tranquility to the Government Oo this prn
clpla it was conferred—on this principle it had be re
ported, end ha was happy to siy that it had bmi re
ceive! with general satisfaction throughout the c >nn
Iry. It would not now do to ray that the meeting*
that ha I taken p'aee had all been compos d of on? class
of Individuals, for if the principal tounty meeting*
were looked et, it would be found that per,on
of the highest respectability had atlendeJ, and
I expressed their coucureuc*. At the tiui? cl the
Catholic question, uu liouorable Ueutletuan had
mad# an analysis of the expressed sense •! the
•Jtgtst souuties and town* in the kingdom, from
which it appeared that ol the toun ies there were 19
(or the Catholic Claims, aud 17 agamsl their; and of the
towns, there w. re 2ti for, aud 19 against them; Irotu
which that llouotatd" Gentle man had deduced that the
expressed opiuion of the country was in favour of the
mea ure. Hut il that wete coriect in that iurtauce, hew
much more so was it in the present, when, taking tho
same counties . nd the came towu*, tho result was,
Inal (hole wire for the measure 27 counties, aud only
1,11,8 agaiust it—with 37 towus lor il, at d ouly nghi
.igain«( it. In fact, he believed that h' iright venture
to say, that a no;o general, and a more strong, aid a
more unequivocal expieseiou ol popular feeling had t«k
< u place on this subject, than on any other that was on
record. \\ iiat had huou the history ol Caiho ic eman

which would otherwise have flowed from it had been
considerably diminished? II Catholic eiiiancipaii.n
lt d been granted in 1SUG, or even at a much later pc
tt.id, it would have been received as a boon, and the
mo«t advantageous efleets would have beou the re»uP.
Hut it had b#n delayed until Inland became convuls
ed, and until the feeling of iiritatiou in that country
j arose to Mich a height that ev«u the mo-t viol'tit oppo
j of euiaoeipatiou felt it to le heir duty t0 p.-0| use
, and to support it. Tho same would be the case in the

i Granted at tho preeentl,iuom-'ut, the people would con
sider it as au art ol grace; refused, and who could pre
dict the consequences ol the rejactiot? It was a rejec
tion whir h might destroy the present Administration;
tiut how would It operate on thsir success >? The peo
ple, disappointed ol their jw«t expectations, would be
inflamed with reseutmeu; and would eveutually de
mand, with a voice of thunder, that which it would be
lound impossible longer to deny; but the granting ol
which would not only be unattended with the advan
tages that would now accompany its concessions, but
in the strong excitement that would then exist might
be productive of e.ils which no man could foresee—
evils ihat might throw the whole country into irreiue
