LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 18TH, 1833.

[Price, 1s. 2d.

As to the dismissal of Sir Robert Peel from the Privy Council, the thing was not worth a straw with regard to its consequences; but, this was the most rational way of proceeding; it was the way to ascertain whether he, who was the principal agent in the making of the mischievous acts, was able to defend those acts, or to offer an apology for them. It was the way also to excite the greatest degree of interest on the subject, and to call forth the greatest degree of attention to it; and, therefore, this course was adopted. Others might have been chosen as the objects of our complaint; but, we chose he who was looked upon as the strongest man amongst all the blunderers. We were well aware, too, that both the parties would most furiously join to defend him, and by no means to spare us ; and this was another reason for our making this selection, which we had a perfect right to do.

THE discussion on my motion relative to Sir ROBERT PEEL, came on last night between six and seven o'clock; and it ended about half-past eleven, divisions and all; these divisions will be mentioned by-and-by more particularly. You know how many times both myself and my colleague have explained to you the monstrous injuries inflicted upon all the industrious classes by "Peel's Bill." I shall now give you, as nearly as I It was our duty to bring this matter can, an account of the speeches, which before the House in some shape or an- we made upon this occasion, and of Sir other; because there are many young ROBERT PEEL's answer if answer it can men now, who have seen their fathers, be called, introducing, as I go along, their mothers, and themselves, reduced first, the RESOLUTION which I in life; and who have not the most moved, and afterwards a document or distant notion of the cause of the change. two, of which justice to the working It was still more necessary to discharge people demands a promulgation. I do this duty, in order to make it generally not pretend to give those speeches verknown that the present distress, embar-batim, or anything like it; but I will rassments, and dangers, have arisen give them with a little more accuracy from this source, in a very great mea- than it is possible that they can have sure; and a really virtuous and sensible appeared in the daily papers: for, set of the servants of the King would have applauded us for doing this; because, by proving that the evils had arisen from these blunders in lawmaking, we prove, that they have not arisen from any defect in the ancient and settled laws and constitution of the country. You will see, however, that this set of servants of the King took quite a contrary course, and thought it their duty to show their most bitter hostility to this effort on the part of me and your other member.

though the accuracy the reporters is a thing quite astonishing, it is perfectly impossible that they, upon subjects of this sort, can avoid committing errors.

MY SPEECH.

Mr. Speaker, in rising to make the motion of which I have given notice, I will trouble the House with neither apologies nor professions: I make the motion because I have a right to do it, and because I choose to exercise that

H

right; and, with regard to my motives, I leave them to be gathered from tenor and the tendency of the resolution which I am about to propose. It appears to me that the best and most convenient way of proceeding will be, first, to read the resolution throughout; because honourable Members will thereby be put in full possession, not only of what I am about to propose to the House to adopt, but of the grounds of the proposition which I have to make; and, when in possession of these, they will be the better able to judge of the soundness or unsoundness of those arguments which it will be my duty to produce in support of the resolution itself. [I then read the resolution as follows, and I here number the paragraphs for the purpose of rendering reference more easy.]

RESOLVED: 1. That, according to the laws and customs of this kingdom, the King, our Sovereign Lord,can do no wrong to the whole, to any part, or to any one, of his subjects; that, however, effectually to guard against wrong being, in his Majesty's name and under his autho-2. rity, done to his subjects with impunity, the same laws and customs, which have, as our birth-right, descended to us from our just and wise forefathers, make all and every one, acting in that name and under that authority, fully and really responsible to the good people of this kingdom, for every wrong done unto them by any and every person invested with such authority, and that in virtue of such responsibility, the wrong-doing party is subject to such censures, pains, and penalties, as in virtue of the said laws and customs, the several tribunals of the kingdom have, in all ages, been wont to inflict; that, if this responsibility were not real and practical, we should be living under not only a despotism, but an avowed despotism, for the King being incapable of wrong-doing, and his servants being responsible merely in name and form, and not in practice, they

also could do no wrong, and then the people of this renowned kingdom, the cradle of true liberty, would be the most wretched slaves ever yet heard of under the sun; that, in cases where the wrong-doing is committed by inferior functionaries, or is, in its effects, confined to individuals, or to small numbers of sufferers, the ordinary courts of justice have usually been deemed competent to afford redress to the injured; but that, when the wrong is the act of a Minister of State, sworn to advise the King for the good of his people, when that Minister of State receives as a reward for his fidelity and skill large sums of the people's money, and when the wrong by him done is, in its effects, so deeply and so generally mischievous, as to send ruin and misery to sweep over the kingdom like the pestilence, then there is, for the purpose of yielding justice to the suffering millions, no power competent but that which is possessed by their faithful representatives assembled in this House. That, in the year 1819, there had long been and then was, in virtue of divers acts of Parliament theretofore passed, a paper-money in circulation throughout this kingdom, which paper-money was, in effect, a legal tender in payment of all private debts, as well as in the payment of taxes; that this papermoney, descending so low as to notes of one pound, had been the almost only circulating money of the country, from the month of February, 1797, that is to say, for the space of twenty-one years; that this paper-money soon became depreciated to so great an extent, that the prices of commodities had, during the said twenty-one years, risen, on an average of years and of commodities, to about double the amount of the prices at which the same commodities were usually sold before the issue of the said legal-tender paper-money; that the depreciation of the money
