Lord ELLENBOROUGH officiated again as Speaker of the House, in the absence of the Loin CHANCEL LOR, who continues indisposed. There was a mort numerous attendance of Peers. Alter the Bills•upon the table, which were chiefly of a private or local nature, were re.pectively for warded, the Order for taking the Prince Rep_nt's Message of yesterday, relative to the above subject, being moved, his Royal Highness's Message was read by the Clerk, on which— The Earl of LIVERPOOL rose to move a cor responding Address to the Prince Regent on the oc casion. In considering this question, he said, he should have to call upon their Lordships to decide upon the awful alternative of pcice or war : a most important question under any circumstances, and he was not afraid to add, particularly so under the pre sent. He was equally ready to admit that every just and honourable means should be taken, at all times, to avoid the extremity of war ; but especially after a contest so long protracted as that from which the, country had recently disengaged itself. He was well aware, and felt, that many circumstances,apper tained to oar present situation which would render even a pacific respite of a few years advantageous and desirable ; but more strongly did he feel, that after a struggle, with such few Intervals of relaxation, of 23 or !la years continuance, after a course of hos tilities of the nature and character they had witnessed in that time, a return of 311 the relations which a state of real and secure peace must bring with it, no considerations of secondary interest, no mien; clues tions, no apprehensions of the smaller dangers should for a moment be placed' in competition with the pre servation of the blessings of peace, if such were safe and practicable;• and more especially for the object and purpose of seeing the Continent of Europe set ded.again in a state of tranquillity. He thought it right, as introductory to what he had to submit to their Lordships, to state fairly those impressions ope rating as general principles upon his mind and feel ings. The question which they would have to con sider, and doe which he thought all rational and in telligent men must ask themselves—Can we remain at peace—under the existing circumstances, is there any moral certainty that we can remain at peace so ac en ening, ire uaaantages and its blessings ? On this important question it was their duty to .].liberate without apprehension and without passion. He would repeat, - the evils of war ought toile aenided, if we could tit) so sasrly and honourably. On the other hand, they should feel no weak or impolitic desire to stave off the evjl moment. No considera , dons of ill judged or impolitic economy should Jettr Parliament, or the country itself, from env:stuttering' those difficulties which the present perilous crisis must unavoidably induce. The first point to which the course of events called upon him to direct their Lordship: attention was this—Have we a just cause of war or not ? This question may be considered in two points of view—as it concerned the individual now at the head of the Government of France ; and, :idly, with a relation to that country itself. If they considered the question with reference to the indivi dual, he had not the least doubt of satisfying the House, generally, that the present state of things was one -. brought on by that individual himself, ana in consequence of his violation of a Treaty t.• which he was a party. He knew it had been stated, there was a violation of certain parts of that Treaty on the side of the other parties, which constitored some justitica. tion for the conduct of the individual in question. To this he could 'only say, that if the fact were true, it could not, according to any principle of the I.tw of nations, or the authority of any writer on the sub ject, justify his conduct with respect to the Allies, unless he had previously asked for sediess, and that redress had been refused or withhel J. But the question which their Lordships woula have to consider, did not rest upon such narrow grounds. —Not a word of that alleged violation had been said in any of his Proclamations when he landed in France. in these he distinctly stated he had come back to re sume an authority which had been taken from him in a moment of difficulty; and so as to leave no doubt that he always wished, even at the moment of ore. cuting the Treaty, to resume that authority whenever a favourable opportunity for his so doing presented itself. On than occasion they saw it was not in con sequence of the alleged violation of any particular' article of the Treaty that he acted, but upon a fun damental violation of the whole by himself. But to look at the question in a larger point of view —Was; there, he would ask, any man - who, on referring to the transactions at Paris in April and May last, did not see that the. whole foundation of the contract pro ceeded on the consideration that he was to abandon his power ? The fact was, that when the Allied Ar mies entered Paris, the nation was the only legitimate organ that could be found to treat with it ; and on ' its part, the decluaace, of forfeiture of the Crown of France, by Bonaparte, was positively pronounced.— Under these circumstances Treaties Were negotiated with the Allies, the very preamble to which assumed' as their basis, the forfeiture of the then Ruler of France. In illustration of these points, the Noble Earl referred to certain parts of the Treaties of the 23d of April and of the 30th of May. The bearings of these were, that the peace was signed with the then existing Government of France, (after the forfeiture of its late Ruler), as one capable of affording a se- cure peace: and farther it was agreed, that more ad vantageous terms of peace were granted to the suc ceeding Government. He maintained, therefore, from the whole bearing of the transaction, from the nature of the engagement and its accompanying cit. curnstances, it was an indisputable condition and the moral condition, the principle of the Treaty of Fon aainbleatt, and that upon which the Senate proceeded, hat the disutlutiort of lionaparte's Government was to be the fundamental part and basis upon which all i 1 these arrangements were built; every one of which i he, without any adequete pretence of necessity, fun damentally violated on his part. The Allies were therefore absolved froth the conditions of those trea ties, and if they, chose to avail themselves of the con- I 1 sideration, were placed in a state of war with the now existing Government of France, so far as the poilit related to a mere question of justice. He admitted, i however, that k was not enough to - satisfy the House as to the jestice of the case as it referred to the enemy. 1 1 He was called upon farther to prove, that the alter native of war was just with respect to these coun tries who were to, ormay be, the other parties in it; and he trusted, on this head, he could !hew, that under all the circumstances of the case, there was a paramount call upon them, in the views of a true sense of their own security, the conservation of their dearest interests, and a sense of imminent and evaes. Mel danger, to enter into a state of war. In girl :4, part of the questi o n, th e fi rs t co nsideration I va : — c Was there any prospect of this country, or of Europe remaining at peace w:th France, as long as the per son now at the head of its Government remained in that situation ? If there was no such prospect, there could be no safety in delay. In arguing this position, they had the melancholy advantage of the experience of fourteen or fifteen years, which shewed to them that there was no engagement ever concluded with that person that was not grossly violated by hint— that his system was one of general spoliation and universal aggrandisement; to be regularly and posi tively attached by conquest and force of arms. When at one period of the Resolution the vanity of the French was flattered by the novel principle of extend ing their country to what was called its natural limits —such as the Alps, the Pyrennees, and the Rhine ; about tint time the present Ruler of Frince obtained the power of the Government, and by the Treaty of Lunevilk, he was enabled to achieve that which WAS contemplated by the antecedent Government.— All reasonable men in Europe at the time looked with alarm at such an increase of the territories. But in subsequent Treaties, various small states were recog nized independent republics, as the Ligurian, Helve tian, sled others ; but these existed not long, lot every one of these Treaties were violated, and the territo ries of each were successively either incorporated with France herself, or placed in a state of vassalage or subjugation to her controul. Every one saw what little reliance was to be placed on treaties formed with the Ruler of France ; they afterwards saw what Switzerland, what Holland, and various other coun tries had suffered. No devotion, no submission, on the part of any stare, sufficed to prevent its becom ing the victim of his ambition. Let them more par ticularly look to what the conduct of that person was with respect to a country whose state occupied many home of their discuss:au-1w meant !pain.-- Spain, which was not only the ally, but in habits of the most entire submission to France. Let the con. duct of its Ruler towards that country, its King; and its Nobility, be considered. There was no limits to his unprincipled aggrandisements, his insatiable am. bition. Let them look to, and consider the grounds and objects, as well as the pretences of his invasion of Russia. - No man who considered those could en tere4in a doubt of Bonaparte's lust of universal rule and boundless dominion. A state of peace with one who throughtut and uniformly manifested himself to I be actuated by such a principle, was not to be expected for any leneth of time. By some it might possibly beheld, that since his return to power, or previous to it,' a change in his principles and objects rn?y be in duced : but even the circumstances under which that return took place, were such as should give alai m and anxiety to every Government of Europe. The na tion at large were, at the time, satisfied and happy under the government of their King ; whence did the change arise ? The at my were discontented, and the present Ruler .of Trance came back, encouraged merely by the power of the army, who felt, perhaps, their glory had been in tome degree tarnished ; but they felt their dissatisfaction., and they wished for the government of a military chief—Why ? because they wished for a military government, whose ruling prin ciple they knew would be war—a state of things they wished for from motives of personal interest and feel ing. (Hear, hear.) Under such circumstances, could they look with indifference at such a state cf things ? could they consider the course of events which had occurred in Europe itself in consequence of the ag gressive ambition of the French Ruler. and not fear fully anticipate what must ensue, if not checked and 1 1 counteracted Could they imagine—could they put any faith in the professions of a persen, who had so retently seized the Government of fiance at the head of a military power, that the love of peace would be the ruling principle of his conduct ? But they had ' heard further, of a prospect of the establishment of a' limited Monarchy in France, and which would. go to afford some security for the maintenance of peace.— He must doubt, however, on viewing the course of things for the last twenty-five years in France, whether in time of peace, a limited Monarchy or a free Government could exist in that country together wits such a large military establishment as would be kept up t and he would undertake to say, that a free Government could not exist in France with a Chief who owed his title to the sword—whose fame and power were founded on conquest alone. Could they so absolutely shut their eyes—divest themselves of all observation and reflection—or be so blind to all that pised for the last 15 years, and imagine or believe that a state of repose and tranquillity could be en joyed by Europe end this country chile the Go vernment of France was in the hands of its present Ruler ? Notwithstanding these views of the ques tion, the risks and difficulties of war were duly con sidered by him ; and there were some who may advise, contrasting the evils of war with the bles sings of peace, that the latter should be tried with the individual now at the head of the French Cre. vernment, before the awful alternative should be de . cided. In seeing. this he was endeareuring to state the argument fairly, and in a way which sonsi 4 would prehebly meet it. He was ready to adroit, that the alternative of war, all circumstances conaiciered, was of so dreadful a nature, that if any eational.pteemeet of peace existed, it would be better to ettsbraca; it :--- hut on that peint he had already stated his (:*.ica,' The circumstances under which wat maybe t*ert....t epon a with a view to its rational prospect of emcee., then naturally conic under cons.i , .eretieft, tine in ea: view he held it to be a favourable circerastaace, ti, .- the present Ruler of France should have : e"ir med. while the Allied Sovereigns were still asatenbled at Vienna, and before several of the armies of E:iroe e were reduced to peace establ: ,, hmerts ; whale teea were in a state of concert, and in a ganeral sere of preparation, which enabled them the int re elf.. ea' '- to meet the difficulties. Such wen tie situ tti , n i t which they were placed. They knew that in ali £ulope, and among the Allied•Severeiges, but one il lifArer `tom .e-ed on tbe subject. They:relt krrsig a ioa, i 'the Ma a d o exiatcat; ..: aa 'AI title/ i+-'f: :. sa ar- I. " g ` effect to %how resolves. But were the, to ch I n . Re A,:-... adopt the policy of peace—to let Benap.ste estabhse his power and recreate his armies—let ti.e Allied .So vereigns return home, and put thee. ernees on 4 peace establishmeet, and the mornant wouid never return when the blow could be struck . witir so merit advantage as under the present cireuinstesicas. Let. the history of Europe be looked to, and see ia what length of time so grand a confederacy of its leadiog Powers was formed, as was to be found at presele. —The talents and powers of some of tee stet a (..sc Statesmen that ever directed the affairs of this coun try, were in vain exerted to form such a cotecalar icy as now existed—that great object could net be ce , - tained till the year ISIS. With such experience and such an example before them, why should they not avail themselves of the present advent:roes ?—if these were now relinquished, what prospect had the, of a like return ? We hare against Fr arse a just cause of war, from a violation on the part of the enemy , e . every fundamental principle on void) the peace w. s formed, and a Government was reit,' zateci which ex perience proved to be inconsistent with the peace and tranquillity of Europe. Bet it may possib:.y be ob jected to him that the Allies were prepared totteat with the present Ruler ot France so iate as the 17th of March, at Chatillon ; a few remarks oe that pomc may be necessary : the individual was then in iodise puted possess' of the Government of Freace.-e- Though the Allies had advanced stone easy hen that country, the far greater panel' it was yen in the possession of Bonaparte ; in his hands were also ail the fortresses of Italy, as Mantua, Genoa and Tnrire He had been master of every fortress on the Rhine, and of many on the Elbe. On the side of Helena and the Netherlands, he had Antwerp, Luxembourg, and Bergen-oP.Zoorn—in short, all the places. of :• west wellitary ,strength in that quarter of kleropta— Those who looked coolly and deliberately on !hat transaction—who saw the dangers to which the Al lied Armies might hive been reduced, it any reverse had occurred, the difficulties to which, in such a case, they would have been retleced without a single fr. tress in their possession, when Bonaparte would bases been able to dictate the peace, or carry on with in creased advantage his own operations. It was thee itolged better to sacrifice the lesser consideration wire a view to ensure a greater. Such were the causes that-led to that negotiation. Upon the whole, under the existing circumstances, there .:as no hope of ob i tainino ea that state of tranquillity and repose which I was alp net synonimons with peace in the ancieut ac cept dim of that word. 4 state of praperetion, a species of armed truce, attended with a feverish ap - pratention of being attacked or compelled at no great distaoce of time to engage with manifold dis advantage in a state of war, would evidernly he much more disadvantageous than engaging in wet under suds encouraging airenmstances as presented themselves—but still more would it be preferable., when we were conscious of the sentiment that per vaded our Allies, when we knew we poseessed tl:c means of striking the blow effectually now, an op portunity we had little prospect of seeing return again—on a ground of economy also, the eneatong in such a state now would be few the more prefe rable; the preparation which already esistad pre sented a great advantage, while tae disadvantage of being compelled to Increase ottr forces Ifiam a state of peace establishment to a scare adequate to the prosecution of hostilities, would operate in calculably against us. Every thing favourabie now presented itself: the daoositions of the Allies were such as could be svishedo--(Hear, kbr.)— It was not, 2s he had already stated, the object of the Prince Regent's Government to induce the Allies to at more extensive line of policy, than in their own de liberate view of the subject they should think proper to adopt. This principle was mo st emp h at i ca lly acted upon, and the necessity of the alternative of war was a point oh which their recataideration wait ' repeatedly urged, and their most deliberate and re. reetedly-considered opinions led to that deciaion which was communicated to l'arliement. With re. snect to the late Government of fraoce, it was his decided opinion that a great majority of the p eo pl e of France were in favour of the return ot their :orrnt r • legitimate Government. He firmly believed that .such a sentiment prevailed in the .tiouth, West, erred. Northern parts of France ; and this he jedged tr. in every information that came to his knowledge on tee subject. It was also his full conviction that such a restoration, would the best tend to the general secu rity of Europe ; and he should be ashamed if he he sitated to avow that opinion. At the same titre, the object was not to interfere with the choice of the people of France in constituting their form of Go vernment; though he must observe, we had se far a right to interfere, under general circumstancess as to endeavour to set aside a Government which may be incompatible with the security of others. We had nor, • on such a principle, the right to say what should be, • but what should not be, the particular Government. 1 The Allies and the Confederacy being now perfectly
