the public that the determination of he government whatever their motives were had originat ed in tho vital rejection of the bill for this hill in that house must be discussed though the majority of

i havo been too much accustomed to the intempetate nttaeks of the noble lord to be much af fected by them the noble lord is pleas ed to qualify the advice that i have felt it my duty to give to that sovereign as at rocious as insulting as such as no subject should rive and there aro persons on tho other side of the house who i see agree in that sentiment all i can say on the sub ject is that i deferred that advice till the last moment when the necessity of tho cir- eunwtauces of the time and my sense of public duty imposed it upon me as ao ob ligation from which i thought i could not escape humbly to tender that advire to his majesty cheers whether my lords that advice was right or wrong when noble lords choose to bring me un der discussion i shall be prepared to argue the question and defeod myself in the bout way i can cheers and i appeal with confidence to the hon amixa immlttis whatever motive that noble earl may pleaae to impute to me for i believe the noble earl attaches some particular motive to my conduct having given that advice upon an im portant subject the alternative was simple it being rejected i suppose that a minister of the crow ti when he stands in a situation of offering to his majesty upon an impor tant subject aud if that advice which is then tendered is no accepted aud if he ujyect is of sufficient importance a that brought wfiire yuurljoftlslliips he bits tto nlteruativo than tendering in alt respect which i feel fur his majestys unbounded goodness to me the situation which j held from my sovereign- it was proposed to he said in a most conciliatory spirit and was in point of fact no more than a question whether the discussion of schedule c and d should take precedence of a and il why if it was a question of that light im portance 1 thiuk the censure of the noble lord would be just but i did not consider it hear hear aud in the debate i stat ed to your lordships the reasons why it appeared to me to bo a question of the ut most importance materially affecting the success nf the measure i stated to your lordships that this seemed materially to af fect the principle of the measure for the principle we undoubtedly proceeded on
