As to the seat of Government question, I am strongly of opinion that the proper thing to do at present is to give practical effect to the provision in the Indian Councils Act, which authorises the Governor- General to call his Council together in other parts of India besides Calcutta.
'There are principles, he says, 'independent of reasoning, in the mind which save it from the occasional follies of all our ratiocinations'; or rather, as he explains, which underlie all reasoning. It is an 'intuition' simply because it cannot be further analysed. It does not allow us to pass a single step beyond experience; it merely authorises us to interpret experience.
In addition to these measures, the house have written a letter to their agent Mr. de Berdt, the sentiments of which he is directed to lay before the ministry; wherein they take notice of the hardship of the act for preventing mutiny and desertion, which requires the governor and council to provide enumerated articles for the king's marching troops and the people to pay the expense: and also the commission of the gentlemen appointed commissioners of the customs to reside in America, which authorises them to make as many appointments as they think fit, and to pay the appointees what sums they please, for whose malconduct they are not accountable: from whence it may happen, that officers of the crown may be multiplied to such a degree, as to become dangerous to the liberties of the people, by virtue of a commission which doth not appear to this house to derive any such advantages to trade as many have been led to expect.
"Get you back into your house." "What is my offence?" "You will learn in good time," said the commandant. "Get you into your presbytery." "My place is with my people." The officer, impatient, struck him on the chest with the pommel of his sword. Two carabineers thrust him back into the passage.

"Each day I pray to God to have mercy upon my poor grandfather; if I thought he were among the saved, I should never be at pains to do this." "Bah, madame! let's talk like sensible, straightforward people," quoth the General. "The reverend Pere de la Chaise one of the Jesuit oracles gives the King absolution every year, and authorises him to receive the Holy Sacrament at Easter.
What deed of Manfred authorises you to treat him as a murderer, an assassin?" "Thou virtuous, and too credulous Princess!" replied Isabella; "it is not thy life he aims at it is to separate himself from thee! to divorce thee! to " "To divorce me!" "To divorce my mother!" cried Hippolita and Matilda at once. "Yes," said Isabella; "and to complete his crime, he meditates I cannot speak it!"
A single natural phrase of peasant speech, a direct physical sense given to a word that genteel parlance authorises readily enough in its metaphorical sense, and at a touch you have blown the roof off the drawing-room of the villa, and have set its obscure inhabitants wriggling in the unaccustomed sun. In choosing a sense for your words you choose also an audience for them.
This consideration it is which has made us so willingly to enact and give force to that law, which was never yet seen by any one, by which women are excluded the succession to our crown: and there is hardly a government in the world where it is not pleaded, as it is here, by the probability of reason that authorises it, though fortune has given it more credit in some places than in others.
This statute, however, authorises in some measure two very absurd popular prejudices. First, It supposes, that when the price of wheat has risen so high as 48s. the quarter, and that of other grain in proportion, corn is likely to be so engrossed as to hurt the people.
I am sorry it should be in any way necessary to produce it here; but as this is the last time I shall ever refer to this subject, I thought it best to add this testimony to my own. "MR.
