Gentlemen,  when  Count  Miinster  and  I  were  so
intimate    in     Madeira,    now    thirty    years    ago,    our


to  Engla7id.  i8i

respective  heirs  had  a  fair  chance  of  speedy  pos-
session. In  the  good  providence  of  our  God  we  have
been  spared  to  be  what  you  now  see  us,  not  bad  spe-
cimens of  our  respective  fatherlands.  We  were  both
engaged  then,  as  now,  opposing  the  Pope,  and  visiting
in  prison  Dr.  Kalley,  a  martyr  to  Papist  bigotry.
Gentlemen,  I  feel  sure  that  the  recollection  of  our  in-
tercourse with  Count  Miinster  will  not  soon  fade  from
our  memories.  It  will  be  one  of  those  pleasant  sun-
spots  amidst  much  that  is  dark.  May  I  not  say  that
whatever  he  does,  wherever  he  goes,  he  carries  with
him  our  respectful  admiration,  and  our  warm  regard  .<•
I  have  the  honour  to  propose  his  Excellency's
health.*
