In noticing this matter Mr. Stephens said, “ he would ask gentlemen si'W- 
cerely were they prepared to abandon all trade to the continent of Europe on 
account of these objections in point of morality^ which had been stated by the 
hon. mover [Mr. Brougham.] He felt himself perfectly ready to meet any 
gentleman upon this ground ; and he really believed that he would find few 
who had ‘weakness enough to think, or hypocrisy enough to assert, that the 
whole trade of Europe ought to be abandoned on account of the immorality of 
rBAUDS necessarily practised in the carrying it on. As to the forging papers 
and French consuls’ certificates of origin, he was convinced that neither this, 
nor shewing^/hZae colours to the enemy, would be supposed so serious an immo- 
rality as to make us consent to abandon all our trade.” Mr. Stephens is the 
author of the pamphlet entitled ‘ -war in disguise—or i\iQ frauds of neutrdi
