Mr. Canning's Answer To S...
An error has accidentally crept into our report of M%Ir. Can- niing's an1swer to Sir Jarnes Macinitosh, on Friday night. As far as "authentic shape" is right, what Mr. Canning akfierwards said was in substance as fbolows:- " That he (.Mlr. Canning) h-d waited foT the acklnowledgmenit from Spain of the despatcll of tilhe Mlh of .January; and that as soon as that acktiowledignent arrived, he had hastenied to lay the despatchi upon the table; buit that, with this dcespatch, the coxmi-t nication of' papers Nvould, accordiTng to Ut. Canning's intention, end. That the obhject in laying these papers before Plarliament was to put the houseand the country in possession of the principles by wuicil his faljesty's Govcronment hatd been guided; and of tiie contduct whicih they had hitherto pursued in this most delicate and intportaitt subject. If, as he hoped, those principles and that con- duct were calculatedl to entitle them to the confidence or Parliament, he should resist anY attempt to provake further disclesure,or to bring their further condluct, step by step, under discussion. Ifihis honour- able and learrie(i frien(d did not tEel this confidence, he (Sir Jallles ,Macintosh) would of course make any motion he pleased ; but to any sucb mnotion lie (.r. Catnning) would oppose a decided, and, he trusted, effectual resistance." '1I1?. CANN'ING;'s ANSrtFI? T() VIR J. MJACINTOSHI.
