This, ton, we were to pass by and endure at a time when we were toil that thiq country never stoed higher in power or in character. Had we declared at Verona that we would ri*e common cause with Spain in ease of foreign interferenee, peace of Europe would not have been . disturbed; and Spain wiuld have been left quietly to COMCZ the-errors (Tree periey; and her Constitution, which a gallant and high-spirited natinn eouW wryer consent to do under menace and violence. Had he bold go ch hinging , so Verona, IteCertair. prepared to have followed it up by arms. No man was more -.lathed to the peace of • all nations; but the circumstances in which the world was now placed was the best callse for going to war, notwithstanding the draining of our resourres by the terrii,le contest from which we had so lately come. His Lordship coo claded by declaring, that in his opinion, nothing had been done to "piton thL• honour of the coun;ry or its best interests. Lord KING said, Ministers had shewn all that imbecility and indecision which was narttrally to be expected from them. Be condemned the impoliey of our Government in not at once declaring at Verona that any foreign interference with the•in ternal affairs of Spain would be repelled by all, the force and arms of Meat Britain. -The Pipers vrere then ordered to be la!d on the table and to be printed, wen. dia. and the House adjourned at Half-past Seven &Met.

Mr. Secretary CA N Ni N G czlhol upon by ti.c Speaker, =id he had PaytTs which by the ccrarilaite. of his Alajesty he had to 1:;‘• on the Table of t:lr Ilcu,e. The l'opers were the:. ti.c Table. Mr. Secretary CAN: , :INC3 spoke tc. the f0110....ing efrect:—" In moving tl:at the Titles of these Papers, which I, by the command of his Majesty, h lye had to present to the souse be rend, I shall take advan tage by permission of the House of the opportunity . which 'that forinal motion affords to me, to redeem a pledge is-bich I gave to the House some weeks ago, and to state succinctly the course of policy pursued by Lis Majesty's Government, and the principles n high have guided it in die important and complicated negotiations which it bad lately fallen to its lot to con duct. I teel that in doing so, I hieve as awfully im portant a 'duty to perform as ever fell on the servant of a great Monarch, and on the Minister of a free peo ple; as I have to account to the llouse for the manner in which the honour of the Crown has been supported, and the interests of the country consulted, in a crisis of unexampled di6cult7-.—a crisis, the consequences of which are as yet not ascertained. I state this last circumstance as of importance, because if the event of the war were certain ; if it were known which of the evil consequences which it threatened would be a-calmed, I might shape my explanations and de fence to that issue ; but I feel, in 'the present state of the world, the unexampled difficulty of my situa tion more strongly, because I am bound to justify the condoct of the British Government.as against all imaginable consequences, and all anticipated dangers. In a crisis beset with so many possible and different calamities, teeming with so many dangers, there is but owe consciousness which could sustain any man under its difficulties; it is, that of having pursued one intelligible object—of having acted on one set of invariable principles. The object we have had in view is the preservation el the peace of the world ; the principles which have guided us are those which were well described by an Honourable and Learned Friend of mine, whom I lament that I do not now see in his place (Sir James Mackintosh)—respect for the faith of treaties, respect for the independence of nations, respect for that established line of policy known by the name of the balance of power in Europe; and last, though not least, a regard for the honour and interests of England—(Hear, hear). — Before 1 proceed to the narrative of the transactions ill question, I mutt briefly call to recollection what the state of Europe, and of this country in regard to it, was befote the month of September last, ashen these negotiations originated. A meeting of some of the Sovereigns of Europe, similar to several other meetings which had previcusly taken place, was an .nounced as about to be held, for consultation on some special affairs, and generally on the preservation of peace in Europe. I must here explain a statement which I formerly made as to the policy which I had then to pursue.. I mention it frem no desire to dis connect myself from my predecessor in office, but I think it necessary to explain the expressions, which have been much narrowed by some, and extended by others. I said that 1 found in the records of my office (and it was not in the records of that office ErertAy, fir it was known to the House and to all the world), a :-.2.1 - .te Paper laying L'own the ptinciple cf non-interfet..oce in all its ex:ent, and with all the quaroriczaioas that belonged to it ; and when it was attributed to me, that I had applied a new principle to a new case, it was due to my predecessor to refer to that document in which he had stated the princi ple of non-interference as clearly and definitely, And with the necessary qualifications as well ex pressed, as any Statesman had ever laid it down.-- 1 must also state that the question which, after all, turned out to be the most important one at Verona, , the question as to the affairs of Spain, was not anti cipated as a subject of discussion. So completely was this the case, that the first in number of the pa pers which I gave laid on the table, was a dispatch the Duke of Wellington, written on his arrival in Par is, in which he stated that he was under the ne cessity of asking advice as to Spain. It was on his arrival at Paris that the Duke of Wellington found, in conversation with the French Minister, that :he case of .Spain was to occupy a leading part of toe deliberations of the Congress, lad he applied kir specific instructions as to the language be should hold, and only in the case of the instructions and of a part of the concluding paper should he beg leave to read any of the documents which be now corn; inunicated. The request of the Duke of Wellington was dated September 21, and the instructions which I shall now read were dated September 27 (Paper No. 2). With this instruction the Duke of Wellington left Paris for Verona—an instruction not doubtful or overloaded with qualifications, but positive and pe- 1 remptory, and from which, in the slightest degree, his Grace on no occasion ever swerved. in this state ment I have anticipated an objection, which was stated with great force, as well as ingenuity, by an llonourab:e Gentleman opposite, viz: That, when England went to a Congress on the affairs of Spain, England was bound to take care that Spain was a party to the deliberations of that Congress. So far was the British Government from anticipating that any hostile propositions ss ould be brought forward against Spain by Prance, that the F: cnch Government had, -d by heir professions, given every reason . to liliesii fifth* intentions were iei •the isiost pacific kird. ' Liptak +articular', of the Speech of the King of Fiance„Ain uie closing of the Session of the Cl;:im fie?rs on the sth of June, 1822. In that-Srerch, in 1 apeaking .of _the Cordon Sanitaire, his Most...Chris tiatilVrajFity - stated, " that the season of the year, and the danger of the return of the fever, triode it " essary--ior him to continue the line of troops near the Pyrennees, and that malveillauce alone could find in those measures a pretext to give a false impression as to his Majesty's intentions" —(Hear, hear).—Un doubtedly this led the British Government to expect anything rather than warlike intentions cn the parr of . France—(Hear)—and 1 state it.to accourt for the instructions of the British Government to its Pleni potentiary at the Congress, not being framed on any idea of such a proposition. When the prepositions of France were first brought forward at the Congress, they were riot in a hostile shape, but defensive, con ditional, and hypothetical. The French Plenipo tentiary asked, what would be the conduct of the Great Powers in certain events, all of which sup posed some act of offence on the part of Spain ? The three Continental Powers, in reply, gave assu rances of their cOuntenance, and, in terrain cases. of their assistance to France; however, the British Pleni potentiary was disposed to give no such answer, and in the answers of the Allies, when communicated, he could not express any degree of concurrence—he would not consent to enter into conditional obliga tions as to undefined contingencies which might com mit the country which lie represented to hostilities on unknown grounds—and he demanded, befo:e he en tered on such an 14pothesis, - to know what grounds of offence Spain had actually.given, and whatspecific j dangers were.threatened or anticipated? .(Hear, hear). In the conferences at Verona the language of the Bri tish Minister, from the first to the last moment of discussion, was positive in declining to afford any encouragement to the demands of France—positive in the refusal to have anything to do with the inter ference with Spain ; and when the Continental Powers determined to transmit to Madrid papers, in which they declared changes in the Spanish Constitution to be the condition on which Spain could preserve their friendship, the .British Plenipotentiary 'declared that all his Britannic Majesty amid do was to con tinue his Minister at Madrid to allay the ferment and irritation which the communications of the other Powers must necessarily occasion there, and " to do all the good in his power"—(Hear, hear.) — The British Plenipotentiary went to Paris to renew the attempts which had been ineffectual at Verona, and to demand from his own Government instructions for our Minister at Madrid to disavow all participa tion in the projects of hostile interference, and to counsel them against any excesses which might afford what would be deemed a retrospective justification for the hostile denunciations of the Allies. The Duke of Wellington returned to Paris at the beginning of December. At that time the French Government, far from being more hostile, shewed itself more pa cific, and had at one time determined to send back the dispatches which had been prepared at Verona, to pray the Soveieigns, who were yet there, to recon sider them before they were forwarded to. Madrid. This is the substance of the first report of the Doke of Wellington from Paris. Up to this time no com munication had taken place on the.subject of the negociations at Verona, between this country and Spain, and the cause of this I will shanty- eiplain.-L -. In the last Session of Parliament the clamour, the just clamour, began to be heard through this country of the impediments thrown in the way. of our. commer cial navigation in the West Indian seas. . An arma ment was fitted out, by which this country Was to take into its own hands that redress which had been in vain sought at Madrid. Orders had been given to Commodore Owen, in the event of the Pirates agaitf Ending refuge on the coast of Cuba, to effect a land ing on the coast of Cuba, and to root °kit the Pirates from their holds. 1 hope it is unnecessary to-say that the British Government thought it right to commu nicate its intentions to the Court of Madrid. About the same time pretensions were renewed by some of the Spanish Commanders -on the Spanish Main, to c'eclare in a state of constructive blockade the whole of the Continent of Spanish America, and to capture all vessels which shOuld presume to violate it. 'l'lle mission on which Sir W. A'Court was first em ployed was in urging these remonstrances, atsd in communicating the instructions which had been sent to our Commanders in the West Indies. Redress was promised by the Spanish Gavel nment, and, I believe, with the fullest idea of faithfully performing it. It was not at the moment when we were ourselves pre ferring claims in behalf of American grievances, that we could assume the best attitude in defending The in dependence of Spain against European invaders, and it was well to reserve our communications with Ma drid, on the transactions at Verona, till the time should Come when we might avoid the appearance of at once attacking and protecting her. I have Am in various quarters, and heard that some offence Wes' found in our sending Sir W. A'Court to represent, at the Court of Madrid, the British Qcrvernment. Now . ' it happened, whimsically enough (be had set out for Spain before my appointment) that the Ministers of the three Allied Powers called on rile in Down ing -street, to represent against the sending SirWilliasn A'Coutt, as calculated to encourage the Spaniards. , It was certainly diflicult to steer between objections so ° e. I can well imagine that as the character in which Sir Tilrit it am A'Court was first employed was that of an obdurate debtor galling for payment—that as the Spanish Government was suf fering under his daily demands, it might entertain an unfavour able idea of Sir William A'Court in his infidel character. }lot as soon as the hope orinducing the Allies to abandon altogether the idea of interfering With Spain was extinguished, information was sent to Madrid of the whole course of the negoeiations of Verona. It was then known that while Sir Wiliam A'Court had been ahewiug the obdurate character of a creditor, his Go vernment had been acting towards Spain the part of unsolicited friendship. Since that time the feeling towards Sir William A'Court has been considerably changed, and that Gentleman himself has displayed as earnest endeavours, and as Spanish a feeling to do good to Spain, as any one could. possibly shew. While Spain was yet uncertain as to the course of the negocia dons at Verona, an application was made by the Spanish Ministers ta the British Government—to induce this country to use its good offices in the maintenance df peace. In this, which was a I written application. care was taken by the Spauibh Minister that , nothing . thould be requested that might be inconsistent with the nun; strictly conceived system of neutrality. • After the receipt of this communication kis blajesty's Government did not hesitate a moment to write to the Duke of Welling:on to offer the me 4iation of his Majesty to accommodate the differences between France and Spain. - The French Government declined the prof fered mediation. as the differences between the two countries were ant of that specile and practical kind that a medLition could remove them, but hall grown out of the state of things in the . . . • • two kienennia, wed 1 re get i-t-• a state of ir - I:Sition the war would be preferable as affordirg vette claret- ontlrstqogone it was added, however, that his most Chebtian D 1 ssty %Moll willingly accept of a recipe ',cation or good *Fee*, and .:mrappcb "IL Britannic Slajesty to c intitute his tool of es at Paris and Madrid. Bete I admit was a case ia which it rneybe said, that utiless.sinnething tangible was brought forward, we should have begged to withdraw frosts further jinn-If-reeler, but at the same st:m- that the mediation was declined, this step was accompa. stied with the most solemn assurances of pacific intrntions, and, as an alirm beyond example. prevailed as to the .1 an; er cf :he war, not to Spain only, but to France, and througl• her to all F.econe, while there was a chance of peace, and while it was tbrough :he exertions of this country only that the chance could be taken ....'...-antage of, I think.it was our duty to try what couil be Zone, by the good offices which were a.lniired.—( I fear.; The question was now reduced to a simple ore bens een France and Spain, and we at least bad the certainty before us, if we failed to prevent the war, that our interference coulu neither hasten it nor render it more dangerous. We did thnsenuent"y use our good offices, and in doing so we took the to no,: nat: net ut.:y to distinguish our conduct from tliit of the Certirenta! Powers, find our principles from those which Frenee avowed in the dispatch to her 'Minister, but to gnatd against the supposition of any thing like urf!i-rd:y interference. — The Duke of Wellington had stittainee !;.,,ntish liberty against the attacks of France, and had ultimately made it triumphar.t. If ever there was a man entitled to hennur in Spain, ft was the Duke of Wellington. Nothing, therefore, could be less invidious than that the man who had earned a Spanish character by gra titude and by adoption, should speak what ':any f)r his private friends at Masirid knew to have teen long his real sereirrents. The Duke of Wellington, therefore, sent his friend to ;dad:id —the partner of Lis teuls of th_. Peeinsular war—nit:l his opi nion of the course which it would be prudent for Spain to pur sue. This opinion was given in a paper delivered at Madrid, honestly and plainly, and was given after Spain bad asked for our interference and our counsel—(Eleer, hear, bear!)—lt was not asking anything fur ourselves, not making this or that form of constitutional reformation the condi:lop of our friead ship, or even of our exertions, but suggesting what we thouglu for the advantage of Spain, and echoing the voice of the Spa niard", that the advice of the Duke of Wellington was sent to the Spaniards. Looking on this proceeding at the distance of three months, with a full knowledge of what had been its suc cess, with the chance of all the misconceptions and all the hazard which attended it, I know not, if I bad to decide again, how it might be decided; but this I know, that if I had declined to take that step, and war had ensued, I should have had cliificulty in sheeting to England and to the world a satisfactory reason, hav ing the powers I possessed, why I declined to avail myself of them. Lord Fitzroy Somerset arrived at Madrid on the 20th of Ja nuary ; and not long after an event occurred calculated to shake the determination of his Majesty's Government, and to remove almost every hope of a pacific result—l mean the extraordinary Speech with which the French Government thought fit to open the Session of the Chambers—(Hear, hear).—Of the principles avowed in that Speech with respect to the Spanish Constitution, no one can think with morepain, to use no stronger expression, than I do—(Hear, hear).—When it was broadly stated that Spain could only hold her institutions from the King, that she must reinstate him in absolute power, that he might divest himself of as small a portion of it as be thought St, this was putting the proposal in a shape which no Spanish Minister could be expected to admit, and ,which certainly no British Statesman could ever be found to recommend—(Hear, bear). Under such circumstances, it was necessary to tell thetn that if such was the meaning of the Speeth, there must be an end of all negotiation through us, and that it could proceed no further; that this principle was one which no British Statesman could re commend ; it was ! principle which struck at the British Consti tution—(Hun, bear), and which we could never submit to ac knowledge. It was added, that whlieon the one band Great Bri tain did not pretend to put forward her own political institutions as the model on which the world was bound to reform their Governments ' it could not on the other (at the same time not goestioning that the people of France enjoyed considerable hap plasm under their Government) tolerate that France abated im pose its form of Government on Spain, and make it binding on that country, by virtue of the consanguinity of the Sovereigns. `that the total failure of our hopes,l took an opportunity of frankly . station that circumstance to the House. Nothing remained for the British Government but to state to both patties the wourse it intended to pursue in so deplorable a crisis ; and nevei for a moment, from the beginning of our inter ' cow se with Spain, respecting the Negotiations at Verona, never far a stogie Moment bad the Spanish Government been led to tbetieve--.nevii had the conduct of Great Britain been such as .to encourage a hype that this course would be any other than that of strict neutral . 4y—(Hear, hear!)—We had always acted on the principle of doing all in our power to avert war, but had always declared, should it ensue, that i• was our determination to take no part in it. Prom the doczn! ems laid on the table it "Amid be evidint, that when it was asaatained what the coo duet of •Fratith would be, it was thought necessary to speak out pialnlK . "Ai.in evidence of this, Sir, I shall read only one of the Papers laid on the table. It is the conchs:gin of the last dis patch atinreeifit by me to his Majesty's Ambassador at Paris, wad communicated by hint to the French Goverannert. The Right ilonourakie Secretary bete - read the latter part of the Dispatch No: 43. The Right lion. Gentleman then continued. These were the only points on which it appeared to item that any danger could be apprehended for Great Britain; and on these Voisin, be had endeavoured. to guard her interest as carefully and specifically as he could (liar, hear). He would woo ilya new words with respect to the Treaties which existed bo. tween this country and Portugal : and there never bad been a single moment in which the Ministers of France had not been aware that any attack wantonly made by them on Por ',engal.would bring Great Britain Jaw the field with all her force Os support the independence of her ancient and her faithful Ally. England was bound to protect Portugal, if Portugal were at tacked, but not if Portugal attacked others. He thought it 'tight to make this statement, because Ragland had never yet made any arrangement, or entered into any treaty, which she had not, when called upon, fulfilled to the very letter.(Heaf).—. With regard to the independence of the Spanish colonies in America, be also wished to say a few words by way of explana tion. As long as peace prevailed on the Continent, and Spain had no enemy In Europe to contend with, it was a matter of dis cretion with the British Government, whether it would or wou:d not call the attention of Spain to the undeniable fact that she- had lost all her influence in her American provinces— 'and that her wisest policy was to emir as soon as possible into an accommodation with them, reeognihdog their independence, - - - spa inalliodimigh any advantages which the mother country VWA pro* to stipulate. Indeed, advice to that edict d a milly been given to her by this country(llears hear). — At proem, however, the ease was entirely changed. As fain bed now . an aerie, and say powerful European away, ft became necessary rpr Great Britain to declare in what fight she looked upon the struggling Provinces of South America; for as Spain still retained the dominion drjare over them, though had lost the domiciles it facts, as France might send forth 1 fleets and armies to seise and conquer them, and as at the agonclusion of the war arrangements might be made between the tens nations regarding the conquest or the cession of them, the Habit 'Government bad felt Itself cilled upcin to state, that it' . sissmidered the separation of the Colonies from Spain to have Wen effected to such a degree, that it would not tolerate for an scant any cession which Spain might snake of Colonies over which she did not exercise a direct and positive influence (!fear). He was aware, that to whateier deterrnin.ition the House Might come regarding the conduct of Ministers in the Late sego stations, many individuals in this country thought that the inva i of Spade by a French force ought to be considered by gland as a declaration of war against herself. That opinion, he linen-, was held by many persons of the first tank and the utmost respectability ; but of that opinion he would' 'Rate, that it could not reedve any support from eitherjustice or Ee 'cr. When he said that it could not receive any support from dee, he did not mean to say that such a war would be abso ly unjust on our part, but that there would he no ad0.., 1 legate gicund on which we could be called to interfere in it.—' ar, in the responsibility of those who had to make it, ought to be well and duly weighed; the cause of it should not merely be urgent, Tut absolutely consistent with the interest and! welfare of tht country which first declared it—Hear, bear ! I 1 —The Right Hon. Gent. then adverted to tbe preteit of 1 France far attacking Spain. He would ask, what bad Spain ever done that -was at all analogous to the celebrated decree of . the 19th November, made by the French republicans? What country had Spain ever attempted to seize or to revolutionize ? What independent state had she invaled in any manner that could be compared with the invasion of Geneva, of Say.:y, and of Avignon by France, before their inhabitants had even time to draw a sword in their own defence?
