Except on the Catholic question they appear to have cordially agreed, and something of the success of Canning's brilliant foreign policy is due to the loyalty with which he was supported by Peel in the Cabinet and at Court. Space will not permit us to relate at length the history of Peel's conduct as home Minister.
And if, to facilitate this, we can effect a division in the body of the European powers, and draw over to our side its most powerful member, surely we should do it.

The nation was beginning to dream that he would yet prove himself to be a man of mark. Edited by the Right Hon. Lord John Russell, M.P. Canning's Speeches. Recollections and Suggestions, p. 43.
Our Headquarters, where I slept when in command of the Battalion during Colonel Canning's various short spells as acting Brigadier, were usually in some heather-covered gorge, opening upon a deep blue sea. Essex Ravine was a frequent site. The side of this ravine which faced the north-east protruded beyond the side sheltered from the Turkish fire, and was thus forbidden ground.
If we take the four years immediately preceding the passing of Mr. It is true some persons may be disposed to take the four years subsequent to the passing of Mr. Canning's resolutions, say 1823, 4, 5, and 6, and compare them with the four years ending 31st December last.

But it wasn't his saying so that made it true. It is the way I feel ..." "That brings us back to the beginning again. I have done my best to persuade you that this feeling is an hallucination." Over and over this ground they went with quickening exchanges, Canning's patience wearing sharper at each circuit, Carlisle growing steadily whiter, but unluckily not more yielding.
In the previous year, a motion of Canning's, in favour of "a final and conciliatory adjustment," which was carried by an unexpected majority of 235 to 106, encouraged Grattan to prepare a detailed Emancipation Bill, instead of making his usual annual motion of referring the Catholic petitions to the consideration of the Committee.
A series of unpleasant explanations followed between him and the members of the American Government, astonished by the interpretation placed upon their words, as shown in Canning's despatch.
