A n y charges as to the means they had afforded, or ought to have affohled Lord Wellington; they wore i serious to meet on a,feture day. They had no wish to hang OR the neck of Lord Welksley—[Here a geoweiar; brit of laughter, at the Nebk Lord': mentioning the Wag 1 e flfellaley instead of lrellingtor.]—He repeated, they I had no wish to hang on the neck of Lord Wellington, but•were content to stand or tall on their own merits. ile then moved -0 Tut die Thanks of this House be given to General the Mar ge, of Wellington, for the many and great service, which he has tegentd to this Country, and to his Ivlatesty's Allies, during the essyslD, and snore particularly for the glotioos and decisive Victory obtained at Sahunatica by the Allied Army on the 224 let July last, whereby the French power was sensibly duninished,. • the siege of Cadiz raised, and the southern provinces of Spain., delivered from the hands of the enemy." the question being put, Sir FRANCIS BURDETT rose, and began by' observing, that he had a dislike to express his opinion . on subjects purely military, on which he was much 1 c o,, ignorant to attempt to discuss them ; indeed, lie via no t much like the agitation, of such subjects in that House ; but the Noble Lord had entered into a 1 variety of subjects, and seemed disposed to call upon .. • tba liaise to sanction• the whole conduct of the Go- j ' alettrent respecting the conduct of the campaign, 1 sod to endeavour to show that they had not been i Wasting in affcrding supplies to Lord Wellington. I (Ne,1Io? fro,* theorizer side.) " If," said Sir F. Bur.' den.* I am mistaken in•this, I readily beg the Noble I F' Lord's pardon for misapprehending him." It often, Minter, fell to his lot to be totally incapable of -cola tip; and comprehending the meaning of the Noble POP • and no*, amidst his many tropes and figures, ' . ..‘attrotds about circuanstances and details, he felt ' that there was in many instances no distinct idea eon. vexed to his mind. That might be some excuse for his misunderstanding; but he felt very much disin alined, when thailis *ere to tie voted to a gallant army, to undergo the hearing of details which might y detract from the general opinion in favour of a to those whose merits entitled them to all the • ble recompense which it was in the power of ; ilkiito'untry to bestow upon them.. But, however, there were some observations of the Noble Lord to a Which he could not prevail upon . himself to agree;' tech as that wherein he eepretentellthe atictorz of Sa-, ; ananca as mote important than what •thit country • lad achieved cn former times ; apd that it was not 'only sb brilliaitt, - but that it i-trlcated us and Opain but of the, difficilties of the campaign. Was it lii its effects like the great battle of Blenheim, in Which, superadded to the decisive defeat of a vast Atrtch army, we took Marshal Tallard prisoner, and by, which, in fact, we changed the' face. of Europe 3 Though it Was far from his wish to undervalue the •; titbits of those who gained the victory of Salamanca, , ,yet he thought it was delusion to the country to talk :ef it in that manner. He could most readily concur In the vote as a merited compliment frcirn that House ri. •to the skill and bravery, and good conduct of the ' 'llaiquis of Wellington; but the case assumed a dif ) , ferenocomplexion,al it was intended to persuade us, i ',Eo perseverance in a ruinous war ; and to make us i think, that the same Ministers who had Conducted it, Z *refit to pursue it. What the Noble' L• rd called it • iticcenis he (Sir Francis Burdett) must call defeat, 1 .es far as he could understand the matter ; though he , never till then had knovin that the objecrof Ministers i• . : was not to expel thi French altogether from the Pe . „Alicia, but onle to keep up a war there, Ile had • - 11Iher thought that they would devote eleven millions '.. la One year, only to raise the siege of Cadiz..- As .to On Andalusias, they must fall again, as a matter of course, into the hands of France. Under all the i .._ tirtuo , .istahtes of the contest; it appeared to him, even noon the. Minister's own chewing, that we ate unable • to find sufficient means to support the campaign; and' that, after Lord Wellington's retreat, he has only the two fortresses of (3iudad Rodrigo and Badajox left , to . hirp as the knits of his campaign in Spain. As to the very important part, the attack on • Binrgds, he could impute ntattiing to, Lord Wellington, who, he hewed, a in, • -un : w a per/tapsre, than was,l6 be m expected front — a treat Commander : but; '.eithtor he lasted ill; S'fifil 8f means,_ which implied no b 1 tit else `he coMPletelj failed, • halving the possession . of adequate means of success. There must, it would •apftear, be grounds for blame sorriewhere. This !miter t alied lotidly fin- enquiry; and in this state of things it was fi,t to know' how it happened, that With all the means of Support which Ministers had in their lends, we should feel none of the fruits of our vie— tora,—n ne of the benefits of orr exertions ; but, on. the contrary, all the *consequences of calamity ? Either Lord Wellin . gton was not entitled to the praises. . and thanks of the House, or else there was some fault in the conduct of -the tlinisters. He could net tee .Low they could get out of that . dilentna. But be me rather to say, that he, for one, could not agree ,to a 'Perpetual syStetn of delusion. ThiS sort of de lusion had now been cartied on for these nineieen rears past in the course of the war ; in his own expe rience for sixteen years, speeches like that of the • Noble Lord had been constantly•deliveted, holding, were uniformly tl.e same prospects, and the same pa-- negyrica on Commanders, and on Ministirs them :ewes, and ending constantly In disappointment.—.
