1830 Aug.18. The Review Broughams dispatch at Letter to Carlisle (Copy.) From the Morn. Aug 1830

"Carlisle, Aug.16. 1830.

Gentleman —
I have just had the honour of receiving your
summons to attend the meeting upon Wednesday next, & I deeply
regret that the state of the business here makes it quite impossible
for me to be present. But I beg of you to believe, and to
represent, on my part, that no man in this country entertains
a more lively sense of the debt of gratitude, never
to be repaid, which all the lovers of freedom, in all lands,
owe to the authors of the glorious event you axe me to celebrate.
They have done far more in three days to make despotism impossible
either in France or in England than its vile abettors can now accomplish
in as many ages. I trust I shall be excused for taking
this occasion to express the anxiety which I feel until
I can see the reformed constitution of that noble country
placed upon a solid basis. From the inroads of
Royal Prerogative there is now little to fear; especially if the
representation of the people shall be established upon a more
extended foundation — the best security both for the liberty of
the subject, and for the stability of the Throne. My anxious
hope is that no error may be committed in the other extreme;
that the wisdom and temperance which have hitherto
shone so illustriously through all the proceedings of
the distinguished leaders may preside over the what remains
of their great work, and enable them to see the hazard
of a too feeble Executive Power, at a moment when they may
be more apt to think of the dangers they have just escaped
from arbitrary domination. It well becomes their sagacity and
foresight to avoid sowing the seeds of dissension, and struggle,
and change, and convulsion, while they are planting the tree
of limited Monarchy, under whose shade the rights of all
classes may best repose in peace and safety. Above all,
let us hope that everything will be shunned which can
perpetuate the authority of an armed force; that the functions
of deliberation will be for ever be separated from those of action;
