task of calling the attention of their Lordships to the Bert important point—the fair question of expediency in the full exercise of right, as between the-Old World and the New World ; and here, in his opinion, it amounted • ) .an obligation on their Lordships, in the changed uJ changing state of affairs, to acknowledge at once, l athoutahe least hesitation, the South American States. I Asst hereslet their Lordships first ask themselves, with respect to the Old World, if it offered at the present time any sort of temptation of facility for strengthening, or even for preserving, the relative relations of States He would conjure their Lordships not to persist in de ceiving themselves on this subject, by supposing that. this country was in the same situation with-respect to real power, as upon the close of that sanguinary war which terminated the French Revolution. It had always been . part of our policy, and an important part of that policy it was, to connect this country With some leading Military-Continental Power, in order to assist us in preserving the independence of the snraller Sta.'s when necessary, and in resisting the aggression of the Great Powers, as essential and indispensable to the true equi librium of the European system. Ile needed not remind their Lordships, at this ,moment, that not merely one Power had deserted this noble post, but he lamented to say that all the Great Powers were engaged in a Con federacy, to which (Gm) be thanked !) this country never had, and he hoped never would, become a party. It was not for him to apprise their Lordships that about 700,000'men were armed in readiness to osipose and suppriss the liberties of the civilized world, if called out for that purpose. Such was the dreadful and ofai- 1 nous character of. that Confederation now maintained by what were called the Great Powers-ra Confedera tion not to be looked for in speculation or hypothesis, but seen during four years in its sad results. Austria had thus been enabled to overrun Italy, and Spain was subdued by the armies of France, till all the coun tries of Europe were liable to have their Governments' altered or modified at the caprice of certain Great Powers. Such had become our relative situation in Eu rope, and their Lordships could not picture to themselves a more serious state of things, which menaced with undis-1 tinguishing destruction all that dignified'the European' States. The policy of this country was to prevent the ef fects of this military system, to prevent those changes with which the happiness or misery of nations was etin fleeted, and to look to every quarter where it Could de rive increase of power. Where was 'that power to tie found ? In the extended fields, and in the extended commerce of. South America. Where could it be found without connection with .the existing Governmeat of North America, which had laid the foundation of much future prosperity ? He hardly thought it necessary to detain their Lordships in brder to point out the pro bable extent of the increase of power which would thus be obtained. Tangible proofs had already been given. When the trade was opened in 1822, the exports averaged upwards of three millions ; but in 1823, there was an increase of £640,000; and if the . accounts of 1823 were produced, he had no doubt that they would exhibit a still greater increase. He would now advert to the.ex tended exportation which might take place if - the country were on a more settled basis; but, in passing, he could not help noticing the rapid effects which com merce produced oretrie activity of a per*. 'Within a year and a half after the ports of South America were opened, here were exports from the South of Ireland, by means of which that great dense population, who had no mai ket in the demand of this country, were made to minister to the wants of South America. He . would not allude to the effects which the growth of in dependence would have on these States—(lle.st, hear) —but he looked to its influence upon this country. The separation of South America from Spain would give rise to 'advantages as great as thoie which had resulted. from the independence et North Anterica-s-ithat inde-' pei,denee so much dreaded and so long thviarted. He held in his hand a statement of the amount' of exports to North America previous to the itevolution, led, the amount within eight years afterwards. • From that statewent it would be seen that, in the first of the eighth year, viz. from 176 G so 1773, the exports from this country, ustwithstanding all the prohibitions and re strictions sshich crowded the Statute Book, amounted in value to 4,01,000 ; and . within the last three years raiding at 1822, the amount was t 6,905,000. So that it would be seen that.wealth and commerce had increased to three times, the' amount after The independence' 'of Ninth America was established. lie Mide this state ment to thew how false the Colonial system wa s, and how fiequently the adoption of a more liberal system , of policy laid the foundation of , prOspetity to • thel mother country. These objects Must be locked at in' judging of the consequences that would* follow from the recognition of the South American States. Greater' advantages might be expected to accrue frota our come merce with them than with Noith America. The po pulation in the United States had increased from two or three millions to ten millions ; while the population of thi States of South America and Mexico was equal to twenty-one millions, and they were capable of an in crease to the extent of sixty millions in the course of forty or fifty years. The soil of South America too was better, and more productive; and this, with the com paratively small number of slaves, was another cause of superiority. Impressed with these advantages, he put , it to their Lordships whether there was any room for hesitation as to the course of policy which ought to be pursued ? He might be told, and he conceived that it was the only argument which could be used in opposition to . his motion, although it was really no argument at all—that if they were satisfied with the language of his Majesty's Government, and if the question were still kept open, why not acquiesce in some further delay. He would answer, that if their Lordships were satisfied that they possessed the right to acknowledge the States of South America—lf they were satisfied that practical' considerations of expediency, bearing on the immediate interests of this country, offered the strongest induce ments to connect both together. let the acknowledgment be made at a time when the full benefit of it may be felt. To these States such an acknowledgment will be of the last importauce, as enabling them to compose their dis sensions, and giving them that consequence which . would at present be so serviceable to them. If they were satisfied with the grounds of expediency and of I right, why linger at the threshold.when the entrance is justified by right and demanded by interest ? Why re fuse to assist at the birth of independence instead of waiting till its consummation? He would ask, if that independence can be prevented ? Whether it can be ra tionally expected that ,the Government of Old Spain, s ituated akit a is , with foreign army,ia i ts dominions, or situated as.it must be when that army is withdrawn, cap displaY any energy to recover these vast and bound less regioas, Which have drank of the waters of free. dotta It toot as well be expected that the, mighty streams which flow its that country sh ould be sent back to(lhe Inowfamentithss whence' tin rane. as that • this, prOgress of - civilizatiots t andthe tide of happiness call, be checked fronishore to shore and from moontain tq, mouatain. The time was whop Old Spain made Mexico a•mart for its felonies ;• when passages were cut at will 1 through that country, and when the withering effects ofl its:cruelty were far spread over these cbuntries ; but those times ate now no more. But although he looked for ward with confidence to the accomplishment of the ob ject fat-which he contended on 'the partasithis country, it was not to be done without danger. Some of the countries of Europe would, he was assured, stand kir ward in opposition to the measure, either in the spirit of open hostility, or in the spirit of concealed attack, and would employ all thOse holy means which. legitimate Governments never failed to practisa against the happi ness of flee States. Such attempts might be checked, but they would materially affect this Country. It was to fortify these States in the best matinee in which we were able—to give them sanction and stability, that he pro posed the present Motion, being confident that it was not only the best course which could be pursued for the interests of this country, but ,the fairest course towards the Governments of Europe, by shewing . theiss our sen timents by out actions, and leaving them to their own • conduct should they differ with us in npinion. Con vinced as he WAS that by the concurrence ofspolitical events, and the influence of all, conciiiesing science, a great change was abont to take: place jai. the . aspect of the globe, it was not for him to say. whether these States might not be more or less slowly.affecied by human pass sinus and political agitations ; but it was, nevertheless, the duty of the.Goeesnment to adopt that course which seemed conducive to the interests of the country. Be-. fore concluding he ,thought it proper to take notice of one, and his only objection, to the papers on the table. haves stated in Mr. Canning's communication with the Prince de Pcilignac, that "the British Government absolutely disclaimed, not only any desire of appro. ptiating to itself any portion of the Spanish Colo nies; but any intention forming any political con• nection, with them." He (Lord Lansdown) did not wish to prejudge the question of the political relations .which might arise from our connection with South Ame rica; but he saw no reason why the country ShOuld in Ihnine restrict itself in this manner, or give a pledge to France for any political connection whatever. The Noble Marquis concluded. with moving a humble address to his Majesty, which conveyed an. earnest hope that his Majesty would be graciously pleased to recognise the in dependence of the South 'American States, and establish a diplomatic intercourse between themand this conntry. The Earl of LIVERPOOL,rose.—He _said that the Noble Marquis had laid down some general principles in the course of his speech, with which he (Lord Liver pool) entirely concurred ; but when the Noble Lord en tered into details and applied those principles, he did not seem to have a distinct notion of the principles them selves. He (Lord Liverpool) hoped to be able to prove this inconsistency as he proceeded ; but :in .the ,mean time he thought it advisable to clear away those parts ' of the address upon which there was no difference of opinion between the Noble Marquis and himself—and he might add with airy man of sound and practical ex perience. He would. not follow him through the de tails of the exports and imports with Spanish America, for he was ready to4dmit that there was no commerce, .more important to this country, and more connected With its best interests; than that between the different States of America, either North or South. But there was one fallacy in the pririciple which had been built upon' this circumstance, which he thought it proper to, correct. It was nor considered. that ss hen allusion was made to the•ports of Buenos AyreS, Mexico, or Colom bia, a very considerable commerce existed in those coun tries, when on the face of the Custom-house books there was mrappearances of any commerce at all. The same was the case in the• Commerce with the Brazils; 'and the reason was, that it was carried on in an indirect and circuitous manner. The commerce. however, was now direct; 'and he thOught it therefore the, fairest way of looking at the • subject, to take ail Amesica together. 'A great drafts** the exports it was known went to the 'West Indies aid to-Canida but in round, numbers he might state, according to the Offcial R s eterns..that;the Cernnieice with Ainbricalselded ;shout seventeen mil lions, ,while that: with the East: Indies produced. about five millions. He entirely agreed with.the Noble Lord upon the advantages of a liberal system. of policy. ,As , the' entinneree with . the American States was uow spade direct, .tend'as their prosperity was iutreaaing sad mos incirtale;it wasirhportant, for:this country to have corn mertial intercourse with these States. , He also agreed With the Noble Lord in-thinking that Spain, in, her pre, sent'condition, had no means of recovering km:Colonies. But before he proceeded further he (Lord Liverpool) considered it necessary to call to the recollection of their Lord ;hips certain circumstances connected with our fot4 mer relations to that country, for without referring tO those circumstances they could not judge of the station in which we now stood. • It was well known that long before the Spanish Revolution in 1808, there was a strong, a natural feeling that the period was not far dis tant when the Colonies would emancipate themselves from the mother country. It was, indeed, perfectly ob vious that whatever relations might have subsisted be tween the mother country and her Colonies, these do minions, consisting of 16 or 17 millions of people, could not long be heldin the thraldom in which they now ere. It would have then been a material question for the Go vernment of that country, taking example from us, prudently and wisely in time 'to have considered, the propriety of relaxing her monopoly, and establishing a system in her colonies which would be more compa tible to their situation. In 1805, the period is indelible"; in consequence of an aggression . which is without paral lel in the history of nations, the people of Spain rose against the French, and it would be recollected that De puties from that natisti arrived in this country. On that occasion many diffetent opinions were entertained by different persons upon the line of policy which we ought to pursue. Some, who. were most jealous .of li beral policy, thought that this cduntry ought to sup port' the mother country . against. the •French; while others wished to take advantage of her situation, in or der to separate her . from her colonies. But . the more generous policy prevailed, and the result proved it to be the most prudent course, as it ultimately led, to the se= curity of Spain, and to the tranquillity of _the wall The. two lines' of policy were inconsistent with each other. Whichever had been adopted, it shouldshave been fairly audopenly ; and this was the case, : for upon looking back to the.first speech which,was made uponi the declaration of this country, it would be. found that the integrity , of the Spanish Omissions was expressly in sured. It shewed Qll what principles, the politics of Great Britain were bottomed from the beginning ; and he considered that any attempt to act upon the altcrna- tive recommended would have been unfair and disten nest. The Revolution in Spain was - accompanied by a Revolution in several, of" the South American States, but no advantage was taken of it by this country.-.*-. On the contrary, from 1810, when the first notice was had of the risings in these Provinces, we offered our mediation to the Provisional Governments, in order to attempt a reconciliation between the mother country and her colonies ; and it was. most material to observe, that from 1810, and during the whole war, and after it —whether Spain was governed by a Provisional Junta, Lby the Cortes, or when the King was restored, that this country never swerved from its duty or trom sound po licy (for they are connected together), but still pursued its object of reconciling these countries on fair and rea sonable principles. But under every system of Govern ment Spain declined the mediation of Great Britain.— There might be reasons in human nature, but he could, not help remarking, that if there were any difference in. the pertinacity with which the offers of this country were received, that was most conspicuous the more Con stitutional the Government was. Still this country con tin'ied to act in that course; arid when the Congress was held at Aix-la-Chapelle, she had the support of the other Powers of Europe. Spain, however, declined all the good othces.which were proposed ; and this country did not fail in her efforts sill that time, when she thought it prudent tn_pause, and to look to her own essential interests. The motion of the Neble Lords was to ac knowledge the.independence of those Colonies; but he (Lord Liverpool) 'begged their Lordships to consider what bad been 'done, and what remained to be done,- In 182'2, a Noble Lord, now no more, whose loss will long be lamented,-.had full instructions upon this ithportant subject ;,hut bore theNoble,Duke, whom he now saw in his place:left this country, these instructions were un availing. Bet he would allude to a circumstance which seemed lo have escaped. the Noble Marquis, which a•monntel, deficto, to an acknowledgment of these Colo nies. prtlicthird of the King, an Act was passed, which gave wall thew pr4iUces the rights of independent States, —he meant the Navigation Act, in which it was re-af firmed as to these provinces and to the United States of ktnitice;l4lween whom and this country there was com mercial intercnnrse,Chat it was. only.to becarried on with British ships. This was done without questioning the rights : of the mother country;and Yet it amounted in substance to an acknowledgment oithese States. This step was corn mesmicatetrto Spain and to the other Powers of Europe, and was followed by a declaration that. other ulterior steps would be taken, of which due notice would be ' given. From the time of this practical recognition, it was acknowledged that every advantage, of commerce had been 2 1 ,ivca to this country, and every advantage also had been conceded-to them. In December, 1822, it was iniiinated to he the intention of this country to send Consuls to the different ports of Spanish America. There Tight have been' a short delay in sending these Consul?, but he though; it more grievous to suspend their appointment for a few months, than to make it during the heat of the contest with France. He would now look to a more important pea sod, when the French arms were successful in Spain, and•when the King was restored. After that event, Government wished to hear a full.explanation from France withregard to her views in,South America. it was there also that .Consuls were appointed,' and sent to their diffel ea destinations; which, with the acknowledgment of their flag, seemed to be a complete de jhcto recognition. Joined to thede claration of the .Preside nt of theUqiced *hates of Arne -, vice, was the declaration of thii country, that if it re mained neutral upon the .contest which might be carried. en hetweee - Spain and her Colonies, it would not view, srith indifference the .interferance of an, other nation ; -and the consequence of. this anntieciation, es was seen by the . papers on the table, was a complete abjuration by France. Such being the actual state of the question, he would ask . - - -What ,remained to be dune? The ac knowledgment of the independence, of any-State could only be gt.v.on by. an- exercise of the. Roy al Prerogative in this .country 7 -(lfear, hear)—Parliament could not give such an 'acknowledgment,. because the right jay ' with the executive part of the Government. As to - the opening of a diplomatic intercourse, he (Lord Liver pool) thought thailf there was anything peculiar to the -Crown, it was certainly-the power of judging_ at .what Op e l :end under what circumstancesohis.onght to take plaace- , ',Mere may, however, be apathy and indiffe- Jence,on 'the part of the Crown,. and , then Perlia . !mist may be justified in - interfering—(Hear hear) — but after looking at the papers on the table of the House, he certainly saw no reason for any special interference. There : might ,be a thousand reasons, with respect to a diplomatic intercourse to'indace the Crown, noc to take immediate steps. He had no desire to conceal hisiiieltun der such secret motives. He Would frig) , tell the Noble Lord all he knew and all he felt on this subject. The Noble Lord had' put. tiro questions . . 7 -the kueition of right, and the question of expedigicy ; and he had justly said, that it was necessary to establish the . point of :right before judging of the other. Upon the question. of right—a term of which he did not entirely approve, unless it was meant to convey, a general *feeling of equity among na tions—he (Lord Liverpool) did not think any step ought to he' taken _towards acknowledging the independence oia -Colony where the c3utest between it and the Mo ther Caentry.was still :"going on. lie knew that. this country would thus act diifeiently from what others had conducted. themselves towards it—(Hear, hear). The House knew what was the conduct of the branches of the House of Bourbdn ; they chose, when we had huge armies in the field, to assist and treat with those ColOqies with which we were at war. GOD forbid, that ia'this Christian country we should follow such an example ! If therefore a contest in arms should be car iyinF on, he would not advise a diplomatic intercourse. ' ( Ihe Marquis of LatistrowN stated act oss the table Ott the contest had cea%ed). . Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, that when he en -1 tered the House he had thought the question was very limited, and that it was only whether now or at some .future period we would recognise the independence of South America. But now it was one of a wider range. The question was, whether we should recognise • the M dependence of these States, Spain being no,w in ,the hands of France, who would no doubt attack them in the'name of Spain? Who could attach any credit to the decjatations:of France after the events of last year? lie feared that we had shewn but little good will to-1 eiards South America, which could not forget the Fo reign Enlistment Bill, which, under the appearance of neutrality, was, decidedly hostile to the South Ameri- Cans. He rejoiced that, no man had been.bad enough to put that act in execution; and he doubly rejoiced 'that our soldiers' and sailors, in their fleets and armies, had. shewn'the-,South Americans the way to honour alio to victory. This had created a good feeling of respect and'gratitude towards the people of this country, whici. had enabled us to reap advantages which we trzvet could .- ~;~.., have derived from the short-sighted policy of his Ma. jesty's Ministers. All memory of former contests ia .which we fought by the side of Spain, were obliterated by that country being In the possession of French troops? Hp could not see Spain. ' Flom Cadiz to Pimp!luea he saw nothing but the Rag of France flying in triumphant possession. He thought the Noble Lord had idly a n d unnecessarily eulogised the Prince.wha led the French troops, on the first day of the Session. He saw nothing in that enterprize but unprincipled aggrandizement. He feared everything from a confederacy which w as combined to put down every species of pepular . Go vernment. Even our Constitution was to them a stand. ing nuisance, to he put down whensoever. it: answers their purpose. When he saw all thiy, he looked around him; and was desirous of making a friend wherever Le could ; and for that friend lie looked to South Amer::..., He cared very little for the advantages of trade; X\ Lac. he wanted was the heart of that country ;. and he hoi:ed, the House would oblige Ministers to give up their tern. porisine and vacillating policy. Lord CALTHORPE agreed, that the language of the papers on the table did credit to the individual eho used them, and were honourab . le to the Government and the country ; yet he could lot bear saying, th at he had RO confidence in the language employed by the Minister of France. He applauded the moderation of the Illustrious Prince who commanded the French aerniie: towards the people n his troops had subdued; burins , his opinion, that moderation arose from - a mistaken no.' Lion of the Spanish people entertained by the French Go. vernment previous 'to the invasion of Spain. If this country had maintained her moral inauenceat the Con. .gress of Verona; he could not help-thinking 'that Spain .would never have been invaded. It was evident that France at that time was fluctuating ond aundetermined; but now he feared the success that France had met with had very little disposed her to ntotiera.ioa, ctr to 'a wish not to interfere with the other l'Owers of• Europe.— It her only desire was to tranquillize Spain, site had cer tainly failed in her object. It was clear Mat Frrance was actuated with a sport of imerfereace irk other nations, which was highly dangerous to us, and which it was our duty to put a stop * tO. He hoped' the. lan guage held by his Majesty's Foreign secretary, would at last satisfy 'the French Ministry, 'that there exis:ed between us and all States pcissessing representative g o= vernments, a feeling of reciprocal attachment and good will. As he considered that these papers woul.l cer tainly raise the character of oar Government and Coon , -try throughout Europe and the world, he felt it to be' his duty to.vote for the amendment which bad been moved by the-Noble Earl. The Earl of ROSEBERRY Praised the tone - which Ministers had assumed on this subject; Inn he also wished them to be supported by the decided _Voice of Parliament; and it was on that ground that he gave his vote for the motion, in order to give - wei lit to the mea sure, which Ministers had declarediCtO be their wish to carry into effect. The Marquis of LANSDOWN' replied.—kfter , speech of much ingenuity .and subtlety; the Nohle . E.art had not even hypothetically stated a single occurrence which could operate in forcing us to forego at last the recognition of the independence of South America. The Noble Earl bad 'oted shr • auy.reason why ,art „ not attempted Lo Jew .ty that. acquisition should not be immcdiately,made, If the' Noble . Earl, or any of the Nlinisteri, would lay ;heir hands on their hearts, and say; that in her . .preient 'de graded and. fallen state, Sit7ain would ackuOwledge'the independence of South - America, he would instantly `withdraw his motion. fle.felt it, however * :dne to tire, i conntiy,_ and to the world, that-we should t ui. delay, a single month, nor even a single weo l diplomatic intercourse . with South 21.quvica,. Which Would, by mere ceremony, give a degree of.coasoltila tion of interest on both sides, which would be equally beneficial to both. Such a course as this would stieogtlien Our resources, and enable us to countetapt.the,efrect of one of the most dangerous military confederacies had ever.existed, not excepting the military despoil of!Bonaparte.
