The Peers present, who were comparatively not very nu merous, were all robed, stood up at the entrance of the Regent ; and the Ladies, to enjoy the better view, stood upon the seats. The Sword of State was horse by the Earl of Li verpool, and the Cap of Maintenance by the Marquis of Winchester. The Imperial Crown of the Realm was borne, on a crimson velvet cushion, by Earl Pou lett ; and the Coronet of the Prince Regent or Prince of Wales, by the Earl of Yarmouth. His Royal Highness wore a full dress suit of Ge neral's uniform, with a large military bat, surmounted.' by a high plume of fine feathers.- The Great Chamberlain of England (Load Gwy ' dir) attended with his wand of office, as did the Great Officers of the Household ; the whole groupe pre senting a brilliant specimen of the elegantly splendid Court of Britain, of which its truly illustrious head was the prominent emblem of Grace and Majesty. The LORD CittaCahwit took his seat.on the Wool sack some time before the Royal Entranoe, and a few Peers were previously sworn. Airthe Foreign ,Ministers were present ; and her Royal Highness the princess CHARLOTTE of WALas honoured the august ceremony with her presence. Soon after the Royal suite had retired, and the Peeresses withdrawn, their Lordships adjourned dur ing pleasure, preparatory to the regular discussion of the evening. About a quarter after five o'clock the House re slimed, and the Loan CHANCELLOR, for the better in formation ortheir Lordships, read a copy of his Royal Highness's Speech. The Clandestine Outlawry Bill was read/rev/forma, as a formal assertion of Oa privilege of the House to proceCd upon business agrecibly to its own mode of proceeding. 111 AbDRESS. • The Earl of LONGFORD (one of the Irish Re presentative Peers) rose to move an Address to His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, on the occasion of his most gracious Speech, which their Lordships had just heard. When he viewed the various topics to which that important document referred, as fit for the serious consideration of Parliament, be could not r inst regard the situation of the country, upon the whole, at essentially ameliorated since the period of their last assembling. The interval had been distin goished by events of great and ♦asious importance ; but the comparative, situation in which the country now stood was such, he must repeat, as called for the ,gratulations of his countrymen. This great and fa vourable change had been principally brought about V - the brilliant successes of the British arms, and the ,ttgorous policy of its Government. On the other hand, he lints aware of the unavoidable privations to Which the country was exposed ; but in viewing this pest of the subject * it should be borne in mind bow infinitely more advantagends were the situation and circumstances of the British Empire, compared with those in which i:s adversaries were so calamitously placed. On this point the Noble Earl expatiated with much feeling and effect. He contrasted the mild and lenient system of the British Government, with the baleful tyranny of the French Ruler, who thought no sacrifices too great for the gratification of his unprin cipled and rapacious ambition : objects which he pro secuted utterly regardless of the sufferings, of that unhappy country and its enslaved dependencies. The inhabitants of these happy islands had also to com pare their situation with that of the different countries of Europe occupied by the armies of the enemy, and still more with those which were the scenes of san guinary and devastating warfare.—Of these it was impossible they could conceive an adequate idea of the misery and horror that prevailed, without being actual witnesses of it ; compared with such sufferings, their unavoidable privatiods were light and trivial— His Lordship then more particularly adverted to the moon of affairs in the Peninsula, and in viewing those they could not but prominently regard the great and, consummate Commander who so greatly•to his owp honour, and to the fame and advantage of the Allied Powers, directed the warfare in that country.-1 (Hear, hear.)—This was a grateful topic, and he knew it could be dwelt upon, with less grace and ad vantage, b 4, those who had the honour and the hap piness ot knowing that great and distinguished officer; of being related to him in blood. Though being all these, especially one of the last, he felt himself called upon to say, he thought it impossible there could exist a difference of opinion as to his transcendent merits. —(hear, hear, hear.)—ln this sentimept he was sanctioned by the public and general voice. In a' comparatively short interval he hod reached a higher point of military renown, thaa-most of those who had by long experience and service acquired the character of consummate generals. Not only this, but the• brilliancy of his services had falsified the predictions of those who averred, his exertions would be unattend ed by success; and instead of a result of discomfiture and defeat, evinced a progressive career of success and glory. Thus considering the services of that great Officer; he could not retrain from joining in a gene rid and richly deserved eulogium.—(Hear, hear !) The late campaign, on the" part of the British, was a tissue of brilliai i successes—Witness the fall of Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajos, and more especially the 1 great scene at Salamanca ; and were it not for what he termed a breach of honour on the part of one of the Spanish Generals, Ballasteros, be thought these admit; which the consummate akin and gal lantrytrtle British Chief had acquired, would have been retained by the Allies ; but the strength and situation of the Castle of Burgos warranted a greater portion of resistance than what was so sanguinely ex= per,* by those who were flushed by a career ot pima, vas gaftliceseA At* same time, the events to wiblailao he alluded, afforded no just ground for depression of spirit, still less of d es p a i r o f full and ultimate suci cess. Our troops bad more than once before been, under the necessity of retiring, and as often mea sured forward their steps with honour and success. He anticipated with confidence the happiest conse quences from that vigour of mind, and promptitude of decision, which marked every line of Lord Wel lington's character ; and that he should not only overcome those difficulties, but by the most felicitous results advance equally the national interest and his own military fame. Independent of the considera• tions to.which he had referred, he'must say that the Successes in the North of Spain had essentially con tributed to the success of the general cause in the: Southern parts of the Peninsula, especially in the im portant event of the liberation of Cadiz, and the re covery of the Southern Provinces from the military thiptination of the enemy ; and in this view the cap. tad of the important fortresses of Ciudad Rodrigo , . and.Badajoe should be thrown into the scale. In the. .North of Europe, the prospect was still more fa vourable and comforting. In that quarter he anti , cipated, with confidence, that the efforts of the ene , my, however powerful and stupendous, would ulti mately and decisively be frustrated.— , (Hear, hear). , —The unprecedented exertions of our Illustrious Ally, the Emperor of Russia, In defence of his own , sovereignty, and the independence of his people, equally redound to his own honour, and bid fair,' eventually; to rescuing the Continent of Europe from the tyranny of Bonaparte ; the great, the dreadful ' sacrifices made by that Potentate ' may be regarded as proofs of his determination to resist the unprinci pled invasion of the enemy to the last extremity.-- The Noble Earl then adverted, but slightly, to the , situation of Sicily ; by the system adopted by his Royal Highness's Government with respect to that *country, its troops had been rendered more efficaci ous to its defence. At a former period, even in the ' last Session, the whole extent of Europe seemed ranged against us. In some of its most important quarters the prospect was greatly changed, and a spirit of resistance against the common enemy was' exerting itself with success : to this most desirable and gratifying result the 'warfare in the Peninsula bad greatly contributed, and this was principally ascribable to the wisdom and energy of the British Government.—(Hear, hear).—With respect to the relative situation in which the aggressive conduct of, the United States of America had ced both coun tries, he saw equal cause for satisf action; not only the military superiority of the British troops had been established in repeated conflicts, but the fidelity and loyalty of a very important branch of the Em pire. fully evinced. Those considerations suffered ao trawback from these partial successes of . that. meaty, if successes they could be called, upon which so much stress was laid by her. To the conduct of that Government was to be attributed the existence of those hostilities, which, though injurious to this Country, would be ruinous to the United States.— After slightly adverting to the paragraph in the Royal Speech se:pectins the disturbed disteicts, the go "iv ed t, consety in Of from groaned. noticinr ,if Rr to the his , prai._ leffolts in defence of their loyal Sovereign tional independence. He trusted that the of his Majesty's Government, with - respect to United States of America, would have itO _xt v i and that the maritime rights of the country, upon ,which so much depended, would be assetted and ups held. These were the prominent points to which the Noble Lord 3irected the attention of the House, and concluded by expressing his cordial approbation 6f the Address. The Marquis WELLESLEY professed that he agreed in most things in the Address. He thought we could not have spoken less of our achievements, nor less of the illustrious General who had cotn mantled -our brave armies in the Peninsula; he agreed also in the confidence expressed to be reposed in the wisdom of P.lrliardent. But it was the character of wisdom to look success end reverse equally in the face, and not judging merely by accidental events, but to reason a priori of the probability of obtaining an object by the adequacy of the means to obtain it. —The events of war were only to be estimated in proportion to the practical rood resulting ftom therm Bearing this principle in mind, he would apply it to the mode in which the war had been conducted Spain. And here be wi.bed it first to be dP" - - 4ohe altittate objerrive haTIW suing the war in that quarter? He apprehended the , British object of that war ware to expel the French from the Peninsula, and drive the invaders beyond the limits of that country. In considering the state of Europe, and the character of the great man, for great he certainly was, who now wielded the mai ury'force of almost the whole Continent, it was. evident that his object was to sirbjtigate the whole of Europe, nor was it likely that any check could be put upon him by the mere mittary force of chili country, until some nation had strewn energy in it self to rise:under the pressure of his tyranny, and a wish to vindicate its independence. Russia had shewn that spirit, and thereby afforded us the oppora: tunity of making a powerful diversion in the Perlin sula, which of necessity obliged the French to with araw many of their troops, which otherwise would have been sent to the Northern army. Now let theta see what had been done in pursuance of that great object. The General who commanded, had done every ttinr which his limited means would anon; him to do ; but he was forced to give way to sum.; rior numbers and force. He wished,aci kali their Lordships' attention to that period of the campaign,. a little antecedent to the capture of Badajot. -When that city fell, the natural plan of operations would have been, to have pursued the campaign in the South, and to have cleared the provinces of Andita I lusia and Catalonia ; but instead of being able to dd this, the Commander was ag ain obliged to turn . northward in order to repel an incursion of Mar mont's army, whicli . was then but insignificant in numbers ; but Lord Wellington had with inferini forces that he could not leave any to protect th‘i northern provinces while he pursued his victog the south, but wren obliged to abandon the southern country and bend his force to the northward. In - his-adtance he felt equal difficulty from the great inferiority of his cavalry, inferior in numbers, nos other respects; and glorious as the battle ofilhfino - manta was, yet it was the result of chance, by thi prompt mind of that able Commander taking advan-: cage of an error of the French General. His retreats which succeeded the battle of Salamanca, was net feigned retreat, but one resulting from necessity by being opposed to superior physical strength - ;—he began to retreat oh the 17th, and continued to do sct until the middle of the Old—when, perceiving an opening, he instantly, with the promptitude of light ning, availed himself of an error of the French Commander, and snatched what was most certainly a gloridtts victory. But such a recurrence must nos again be looked ter. It was not in the errors-of cgs' 'French Generals we had much chance of success' and if we t relied upon that, we should rely upon a very 'sandy foundation. The result of this victory had in many respects been important. It give us , `far a time possession of Madrid, and. the depots of - ;the epemy ;—but again, for the want of sufficient 'force, it was in the end likely to prove of n 0 vitioug as connected with the ultimate success of the causee —lmmediately after the battle of 6alamanea, the General pursued his way to Barry and then such was his rated tnians of tria4l%psis-katl only throe , . _ .. . , • .4 . . - . .1 ~; 4-``..• ; - `2 .0 0.• r .t.' - . • ••' . • • ti r P . • , , Al • • %.:4, - .,- - 1 ' l3 ' 'C ,\ . _ ... -.....• .— • t ... ....
