CHRONICLE.—" Is the tear which Fraser has de clared apainss Holland WAIF NATIONAL or JVITIPLITLII" Let me answer this question with fairness., and u it would be replied to by the million".! In. the first place, you must not suppose it Is national because it Is declared by our Govetnon—nor, in the second place, because it is war ! There are a great many blockhead; In England as well as in France. who are continually writing and saying that Lafayette, lifaugain, Lafitte, Lansarque, Dupont, De Tracy, Barrot, ice. Etc. Ste. are for war of any sort, and at any price, no matter with whom. and no matter about what. Now you must allow me to toll you, that never was a greater libel either written Or uttered than this • and certainly the war against Holland now made , if made fist the mere object of isahning fbi King Leopold to drive beak the Dutch to Holland, is neither approved of by the illustriotte nee whose noises I have cited, nor by the great mass of the nation. Nor, in the third place, is it national on the score of principle. The only principle or the war as declared at present is to also and carry into effect the protocols of - London, and it t7to so on behalf of two, if not three powers, who are at this moment arming aga inst us. as well as against Poland. The war against Spain was a war fora principle ; a bad one If you will; but this is for no principle at all. Nor, in the fourth place, is it a war to deliver a people from slavery. as was the war In favour of Greece against the Ottoman Porte. This would he national ; but the Belgians, if unaided by any human power, would be fully comp tent to carry on a successful war against the despotic and cruel William —nor, in the fifth place, is it a war in the interest of civilization, like that made by France ...against the pirates of Algid', when, at least, this object was avowed and adopted by the nation. The Dutch are as civilised as the Belgians, and the Belgians as the' . Dutch ; besides, Al. ?trier has taken great pains to de- 1 , dare, in advance, that the French army is not to enter Hol land. Such a declaration Is not national, and was un called for ard foolish. Nor, in the sixth place, Is it a war in the intermit of liberty, a war of gratitude, a war to assist the feeble against the oppressor, as would be a war in favour of Poland against the Autocrat of All the Russian ! This would be a national war ! ! This would be adopted and proclaimed by the million ! and no sacrifice would be thought too great to carry it on with success. Nor, finally, is it a war for the purpose of securing alliances. If England were attacked by the Powers of Europe, and the British Government should apply for French aid, though Frame might, perchance, think more favourably of the cause of the other Powers than of Great Britain, yet still, for the sake of forming an intimate alliance with so immense a maritime power as Great Britain, a war in her favour might be justifiable and nationaL But the alliance of Belgium, as reduced by the protocols of London, is scarcely worth demanding, although that alliance would be guaranteed without a war. The war, then. SS already explained, Is nor NATIONAL!! It may be. come so as it might have been so in the first in. stance ; but a mere war to obtair. not even the provinces of Luxembourg, Lembourg, and the left bank of the &heldt for Belgium ; but only to obtain the status quo of the Bel gian question as settled by the Protocol of the Eighteen Articles. is by no meons an object worthy of France or the Revolution of inso. This war may lead to a war of principle—to • war fur Poland, and to a war against des potism. Then the war will become national, but at prevent it does not partake of this character. You must not sup pose that because we have cheered the troops as they left thisaapital sad 'skied them success, therefore that the war is natioeal. We did the same thing when they left for Spain and for Algiers. It would be monstrous and anti-national not no wish success to our own sons and brethren; but this is a wish of success to them, and not to the principle of the war. But if the war be not national, is it justifiable ? I can scarcely accord to it this qualification, though, perhaps, it may be entitled to it. But if it be jus. titiable, it is only on this ground—that the King of Holland has not acted according to the ordinary principles and regu. lations of war—has given orders for the destruction of one of the moat commercial and important cities of Ku rope—took by surprise the Government of Belgium— and has made this war to gain provinces which do not belong to Holland, and the boundaries and division of which were to have been settled by treaties. Yet, on the other hand, the King of Holland was no party to this eighteen-articled Protocol, and cone not bound by it. The principle of the war of King Willsun against the Belgians is • bad one—execrable, tyrannical, unjust. But the war of France against Holland is not nattered. because it is not directed against the principle of the Dutch war, but is only intended to place the affairs between the two countries is stalu quo! Let us hope that this war will become justi. fable, and will become national ; though I fear it will never become so in the hands of Ai. Casimir Peeler.— O. P. Q. TIMES —The address of the French Peers will of course be as. echo of the speech, anti that echo probably the last of the kind which well be heard from the chamber as at present constitu.cd. One of the must prominent and active members of the movement party has already come forward with Isis project for abolishing the peer. age, and substituting an assembly called a Senate for the Upper Chamber. The first clause in his bill declares, according to the approved formula of Napoleon, when Ise pronnur.evd sentence on a dynasty, that the " Chem- I ber of Peers has ceased to exist." The honourable depu:y then proceeds to construct the new edifice which is Ito replace the demolished chamber. lie composes it of se nators tor life, one third of whom are to be chosen by the King, ard the other two-thirds by the electoral colleges which return the deputies. it would appear to be much more reasonable, if the King is not allowed to appoint the whole of the Chamber, to deprive him of the power of ap pointing any, and to commit the whole operation, as in Belgium, to the electoral colleges. A King a senator, and a senator drced by the people, might not take opposite sides; but if they did, it is easy to anticipate the discredit which would be thrown upon the vote of the former by the source of his nomination. -- what happened to the Portuguese divi dends, after the sums wheedled out of a credulous public by Pedro', agents on Brazilian account and spent, the Beni. liens know how, it required more than ordinary courage to propose the raising of more expedifionary money in London. Some sort of guarantee it was, however, staid could be made available. At first we heard of the revenues of Ptir tugal being offered ; bu; this security was laughed at.— Next we were tohl of " parental estates ;'• it, however, untOrtunately turned out that the laniutie and longitude it; which tiny were situated could not be ascertained.— Lastly, on " jewels." it was said, fund, could be borrowed, and this to the extent of their value, we can rea. dily believe, if the ownets pawn them, as the great Isabella did, to fit out Columbus; but are there no misgivings in the breast of the late wearer when he reflects that these Jewels are a heirloom belonging to the Braganca Family. and that. a large portion of them were honourably transmitted to him on the death of his parents by that very brother against whom their produce is intended to wage war? During tint ituportantnegociation some unforeseen impediments must have arisen, which it has not been deemed proper to ex . pl a i n , as, in a semi-tone of threat, it is now held out that. if England dots nut assist Don Pedro, France most probably will, and all those advantages to British trade—all that influence of the British (ante which long connexion with the legal authorities of Portugal bas produced—will be a! stake' The adoring-ayes unfortunately arz not enumerated, but as to the prubsthilify of the French assisting Don Pedro. alias the Constitutionalists, it is very evident. that it will cease as soon as ever Al.t miral aoussin returns home. If Don Pedro forgets what he said of these same people in his owu letter to his late ,father,itt his a oc j avi tl ana pre►ious to his accepting the Bnisillan Chown; or if the admbnitions upon this' very subject, which only last April respundod in hie ears at 'ltio• do Janeiro, are so soon effaced twos his memory, he dill be warmly reaninded of theokif he Apure himself on the Porto. guess territory, and besides sited whether he comes to sue• mount the urns of Braganca with the bonnet rouge? Donna Marla! Innocent Princess ! she is unconscious of the crimes and follies committed In her name! Her fortunes have been ruined by the mad ambition of others;— but her story is now consigned to the . Nurseries at Rio de Janeiro. This, most probably, will noon be the ems bare, as another " legal authority of Portugal" has made his appearance, on whose behalf our treaties, it is ar. Reed, are binding, as " they were not made with rocks, veva, and stones, nothing else of Portugal being left. Was It from these that our government demanded satisfaction last April, just after Don Pedro made his .exit from Rio de Janeiro Sleek plans o( Invasion are not only antisocial, Winks the mouth of an Englishman anti.natiooal.

In the first plaay it is something to reduce into an intelligible shape a bundle of acts of Parliament, which, If not often contradictory, are seldom perspicuous. But there are also a few regulations in the new bill which promise well, inasmuch u they aim at providing more effectually for the good conduct both of proprietors and driven. In this view it enacts that both one and the othershall exercise their callings under a license from the commissioners of stamps,upon whom the superintendence of hackney coaches is to devolve in fu ture, the commissioners of hackney coaches being done away with by the measure. Even the 'mermen (the persons who attend et the standings to assist the coachmen in the care of their horses, Etc.) are to be limited ; so that we may expect to find a more decent and orderly set of men employed gene rally about the coach-stands than we have hitherto been ac customed to meet with. As every one must have felt the necessity of some improvement in this respect, the at tempt itself, however it may succeed, will be regarded with favour. Another clause directed to the same object, provides that the name of the proprietor shall be painted on the coach, and that the number shall be placed in a conspicuous situation within the coach as well as without, so as to be easily ascertainable by the passenger or the pub lic at any moment. These and a few similar regulations we think likely to be attended with advantage, though on a first inspection of the bill it may have too much the appear. ance of interfering, in the spirit of modern legislation, with things that ought to be left to themselves. When we reflect, however, that the hackney coachmen of London are persons of vrey.equivocal character, and that hackney coaches have been often made use of In the commission of robberies, and in the furtherance of other offences, we cannot but admit that any attempt to bring them more immediately under superintendence and control than they are at present is an at tempt which ought not to be obstructed by those who wish to see the facilities of crime diminished in the metropolis. • IMPERIAL PARLIA3IENT. HOUSE OF I..ORDS, Awe. 9. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool seek at ten minutes past five o'clock. LORD SELKIRK presented a petition from the West Lothians against the use of molasses by distillers. ' The Duke of DEVONSHIRE presented several petitions in favour of reform; but in consequence of the manner la which they were read by the clerks, it was impossible to catch where they were from. Lord KIND presented a petition against tithes. The Earl of lIADDINUTON presented a petition from the Senates Acadensiessa of the University of Edinburgh, praying to have representatives in Parliament. As a discus sion of very great importance stood for the evening, the noble lord observed that it was not his intention to enter into the subject matter of the petition, the more proper time for that being on the arrival of the Scotch reform bill in that house ; he should content himself now with stating what the substance of the petition was ; the petitioners, however, stated that they observed, with great anxiety, the progress of the measure in the other house of parliament, and be hoped that since it was the intention of his Majesty's minis ters greatly to extend the right of voting throughout the country, that their case might be taken into consideration. Lord DUNCAN entirely agreed with his noble friend in most of his remarks. hitt he doubted whether the granting of representatives to the Universities o; Scotland wouLl be attecded with the advantages which his noble friend cx. pee:ed. He felt that this was nut the proper time to enter into a discussion on the subject, and therefore he would re serve what he had to say till the question was regularly before their lordships. The Duke of RICHMOND brought in a bill to amend the poor laws. Among other things the noble duke said it extended the power of overseers to hire land foe the use of the poor, to a greater extent than 20 acres. The bill was read a first time. PRICE SEVENPENCE. eoadly, the demolition of the fortresses, and the speech of the King of France; and, thirdly, he should conclude with the manifesto lately published of the King of Holland, and the situstion in which he now stands. With regard to the negotiation which had been carried on ten months, no one would hesitate to pronounce it a departure from the noble earl's beautiful system of non-intervention. It would be easy to prove there never had been so much interference as in the ease of Belgium. The proceedings were to the sable marquis perfectly unintelligible.—(Cries of /leaf, hear.") First they offered the crown of Belgium to one son of the King of France, then to the Duke de Ne. mours,and thirdly, saPrince Leopold. How that Prince could be put in nomination was to the noble marquis inexplicable. After the prince had refused the sovereignty of Greece he was the person sent by the noble earl and his colleagues to Beiginnw -There bad been a document with the name of Laid Ponsonby, and surd, there never was a paper so es. traordinary. He would admit that Lord Ponsonby had a trajo press the Belgian. to chine Prince Leopold, but to g vMch • document to the world as the act of a Congress, when it wag no more than the letter of a British envoy, appeared to the noble marquis to be the most extraordinary proceeding ever known in the annals of diplomacy. It commenced by saying it was written in haste. Thatj reminded him of a young lady at school, who wrote yours in haste. Lord Ponsonby gave the motives of the Con gress ; what right had he to give the motives of the Congress ? The noble marquis read the leder, which he said was a production quite Cervantic, taken out of the reform shop. He challenged the noble earl and his colleagues to stand up and say they could adopt the principles of that letter. The production had misled the French. In one of the Paris papers it was called a system of delusion and fraud. He understood the noble lord (Poosonby) had beein removed from the Belgian negotiation, and his hope was that the douteur of Naples would console him for loss of ;eme in j Belgic diplomacy, in the same manner that his reverend bra! then had been consoled by the blshopriek of Derry. The noble marquis then entered upon the second part of his sub ject,mamely, the demolition of the fortresses inßelgium. The objection was to the policy which required that barrier to be med. This destruction of the fortresses appeared to an swer no other purpose than to afford the King of France an opportunity to make his speech with refit. But how did the speech agree with the protocol ? The speech said the king. don of the Low Countries had ceased to exist, and the tor- ' tresses raised to menace France and protect Belgium would ; be demolished. Such was the language of the King's speech,! but the protocol said no such thing. The course Prince Tel- leyrand had taken was at variance with the general interest, and the decision of the Congress • but whilst that wily po litician was here, it was in vain to expect sound policy. There appeared in the 7711118 journal, the day after the pro tocol was made public, an article censuring the arrangement which destroyed the faineant, and calling it what it really was, a dap-trap in the speech of the King of the French.-- , The opinion of Lord Clancarty, which the noble marquis read, said, the conduct of the Congress in the Netherlands I was at variance with the law of nations. How could they demolish the barrier, without the consent of the King of re the l Netherlands, who first contributed towards the erection of those fortresses ? The noble marquis asked whether the Duke of Wellington had been consulted ? Not one niili tat, opinion had been taken. So that these fortresses.; formed at the expense of British blood and treasure, had been rases fur no other purpose than to please France....: The noble marquis then adverted to the negociationa, and the manifesto of the Dutch. The Congress bad proceeded, on the question of separating Belgium from the Nether lands. They finally ttanlved upon it, and declared, in the Ilth and 12th protocols, that they had come to a posi. tive determination, that the separation should take place. To that determination the King of the Ne therlands should have been a consenting party, but having conceded to the utmost he could go no farther. The British Government, then finding they could get nothin I from the Belgians, turned round on the Dutch, and sai d,' we will compel you to do more, because you have already done so much. A friend, Baron Wissesiburg, had been sent to Holland to cajole and coax the King to agree to the eighteen articles, but it was natural for the King to refuse his consent to that protocol. Holland refused, because the decision was contrary to her independence and honour. The King of Holland, in his manifesto, bad preferred an appeal to arms, resolving to abide the chance of war rather than 'intender his rights. The noble marquis went on to say ' that the present Ministry had treated Holland, one of the oldest and best allies of England, in the most unfair manner. The noble earl, at the head of the Administration, by the policy he adopted, had aided the marshalling of troops in France. Would to (lon that l'iince Leopold were back to this country. (Hear, bear.) Was it just in the King of the French to send over 50,000 troops in such breathless haste to Belgium ? He would ask the noble earl at the head of the Government, and his colleagues, to show a single instance in history where Femme till the present juncture had taken the initiative part. Were the days of Charles the Second come back ? Did the noble earl think that the French would quietly retire from Belgium at the moment be required them ? He (Lord L.) could tell that noble earl they would not. As an Englishman, he declared most solemnly, that this country had bowed its head to France ; sod that, too, at a time when the noble earl was aware that England was as able to go to war as she was at any former period of her history. As an Englishman, he declared he should not be tied to such a line of policy. Had the noble earl opposite given him such answers as he might have deemed satisfactory on a former evening, he (Lord Londonderry) should not now have taken up so much of their lordship's time. He should now consent himself by moving that an humble Address be presented to his Majesty, praying that there be laid on the table of the house copies or extracts, of all communications relative to the settlement of the Governmentasf Belgium, as far as the same may be produced without injury to the public service. The question having been put from the Woolsack— Earl GREY characterised the motion of the noble mar. quis as exceedingly ill-timed. He was not prepared, nor was it necessary, to follow the noble marquis through the whole of his statements. The noble lord had charged his Majesty's ministers with departing from the plan laid dovin by them at the beginning, of not interfering with other states. With respect to Belgium and Holland, as tar as regarded the internal government of those couutties, England j Dad acted on the principle of strict no t.intervention. Upon that principle had his Majesty's ministers proceeded. lie 'trusted the house would not call upon hie to make ;smoke- Lure productions of papers which no minister was ever called upon to lay open and expose. He had been ch.,rged wiun departing from the line of policy adopted by the late Mr. ; Canning : he never hesitated to say that he did not on all occasions coincide with Mr. Canning's foreign policy ; lan that he (Eatl Grey) in general disapproved of it. He re. prated, with as much strength as the noble marquis oppo. ' site, that he was ready to maintain the independence of Hui. land as an ancient ally of England (Heat) but certainly nut j if it were the intentitas of Holland to go to war fur that pur pose. Had not the noble marquis seen changes declared noxasary by the vary lug times? He (bad (trey) was of opinion, and was prepared to shew, teat the conduct of i the FrenchOuvernnunt on the proem occasiun was taith fair and open ; die representations matte to the French by the Bed- gic Government were of the meat urgent nature; but whether the French army had yet passed the frontiers of the Dutch territories, he (Emil Grey) could' net say—no Ouch intelli gence had yet come to Mediums. With respect to the production of the papers in question, as 'far as they might not be prejudicial to the public interest, at resent tne only 'answer be could give wa•, that they 'coal nor be produced I without manifest disadvantage to the *heirs of the cou:itty, so lonic as the question was in'dodbi and underallecussiott ; Ite . .only . disitned the same privileges which bad been allowed to former Ministers : when the proper time ardent, as he had 'slimed' on I former bight, he should be repined enter fully upon the subject —..the present was not a tinteJ for such discussions; bat if noble Lords were of opinion that the course of proceedings adopted by his Majesty's Ministers was such epee . derogate from the honour of the FOILEION I , 0 LIM-331.01VJG The Marquis of LONDONDERRY assured their lord ships that no individual could feel more inadequate to dis charge the important task of inquiry into the state of foreign policy than he did. His early military education bad not given him those adva ntages and qualifications foe addressing that august h many noble lords possessed.— Had he not been milled on imperatively, he should not have ventured to address their lortlehips. Circumstances con- netted with the diplomatic proceedings of a brother (Lord Castlereagh) who brought our foreign relations to the 1 ' highest, the most illustrious state, made it impossible to avoid the expression of his feelings. Under these feelings, for the honour of a brother, and Impressed with proper hu mility towards the house his hope was that he might receive the indulgence of their lordships, which would enable him I to go through the task he had undertaken. He certainly did not expect so much courtesy from the noble earl and his colleagues, because when he lately submitted a question to the noble earl (Orey)he was told be had discovered a • mare's nest.' The expression did not become the orator—the Ci cero of the day. The noble marquis knew that he was always liable to be borne away, as it were, by the torrent of the noble earl's eloquence, and if he escaped that, the no bleand learned lord on the woolsack would bear down upon him with tan and caustic sarcasm. Notwithstanding the difficulties to which he was esposed, there was in him a stern stubbornness which would lead him on to the .accom plishment of his object. With respect to the present posi. tion of Belgium, he once thought the noble earl, when he acceded to office, would have claimed his support in pursuit of foreign policy, because the noble earl, when he sat on the other aide of the house, was disposed to follow the policy adopted by the treaties of 1814 and 1815. The noble mar , quis, however, Arend the mask removed by the noble earl's speech of the 24th June lat. The noble earl on that occa sion stated that it was owing to the treaties of Paris anti V ienna in 1814 and 1315 that the seed of titufrection and ' change was scattered over Europe. In that he thought the Noble Earl had not displayed much policy or good taste . I The Noble Earl was then endeavouring to carry on with the Ministers of the same Powers the accomplishment of those treaties. The tame Ministers were, at that thee, in Down ing-street reedy to negotiate with the noble Earl. Those treaties had pn.duc d sixteen or seventeen years of peace, which would then have been in existence but fur the un fortunate affair of Paris in July. He thought he saw sit ting by the noble Earl a ci-dettura noble friend (Lord °Watch), who had defended 'those treaties. The noble Marquis bad =ever expected to see that Noble Viscount sitting cantata* in his seat, whilst the Noble Earl. was uttering his philippic against those measures. lle rememberW the day when his brother having achieved /the object of • his diplomacy, was received by a British House 'sof- Comments with a burst of applause. His -hope was that the noble earl, after he bad paned his. pee. eions reform bill might be received in Ile same way. The noble manpsie these called the attention of their loraphipa to the affairs of. Belgium. In order to make himself under stood he divided his observations under three heads. First, the negotiation up to Lord Pomonby's letter, in June; se.. N°. 13,857. Crawn, let them come to that Tote which would remove Nliniaters from that station they so unworthily filled.— (Hear, hear.) The Duke of WELLINGTON sold it was apparen that this country had lost the advantageous situation she 3 had formerly held ; England had lost her former influence and intimacy with other States. The noble duke then went on to say, that by the terms of the diplomatic treaty of 1813, both parties were bound to adhere to au armistice f—a ens. pension of all hostilities : yet former negociations were given up. Without a question having been asked the Great Powers agreed to the separation of the two countries, and the misfortune was that the Khig of Holland had for the last ISO years relied upon the support of England. He believed there was 110 doubt that the election of the King of Belgium would be attributed to the abandonment of Holland. In a state of peace with France, England bad no business with Belgium, except io promote the peace and security of Hol land ; no man at an coneetsant with questions of foreign policy, but must see at once that the interest of the King of Holland was cnmpletely abandoned by the line of policy adopted by the present ministers. Except by the King of England and by the King of the French, the King of Bel. glum, up to that moment, was not acknowledged; was it not therefore clear, he asked, that the King of Holland was abandoned by England ? Earl GREY, in explanation, said • few words, and again repeated, when the proper time arrived, he should be able to vindicate the sourse pursued by his Majesty's Ministers. After a few words from the Dukrof WettiNOTON and Earl Garr, The LORD CHANCELLOR began by observing that there was a necessary secrecy required to be preserved in the present negoclations respecting the foreign policy of the country. He thanked Clod, that neither lie, nor the noble lads opposite with whom he had the honour of acting. bail any share in the responsibility of the unprecedented andoct of noble lords who promoted these discussions. If the paws of Maims were endanzered by premature dis closures, and the successful issue of negotiations foe peace disturbed, be the consequences upon the noble marquis opposite, who peradventure might be careless of results, but whose supporters did not appear t o b e qu i te so 1 careless. (Hear.) Such attempts to drag Government into premature debates, by snatches of questions founded upon what was considered to be fact, but which tensed out to be no fact, in the whole course of his (the Lord Chan aloe's) parliamentary or forensic experience were wholly unequalled. The noble duke opposite had spoken of Eng land's having lost her position in the scale of nations, but what, he would ask, would our ancestors before the revolu tion have said ? How would Godolphin and the Duke of Marlborough have held down their heads and lifted up their eyes, to heir that England, which had conquered, he (the land Chancellor) knew not how many countries, had al lowed the armies of France at one time to cross the Pyre , fiees ? He was surprised to hear some men, for the first 1 time in their lives, talk of England's want of power. But with respect to Belgium, it had been said that we ought to support and defend our ancient ally the King oft Holland : and the burden of the song was, ;hat he had been deserted Iby England, vs was ireinuated, for .he purpose of promo ting the election of the King of Belgium : that England had promoted that election either directly or indirectly, lie i denied most peremptorily. Tate noble lord war very fond lof vituperation--he would not say he was very apt at situ , peration, or that the intention was bad, the effect at least wax harmless. (a laugh,) He had attacked his noble friend !for appointing relatives to places for •litch they were not fit. Ills noble friend might have stopped his mouth by citing a certain trait of desmiant with which the noble • lord was connected, but to which be ( Lord Brougham)— ! would not further allude. He had not confined his chore -1 ration to the noble earl, but had extended them t o a b o dy I which should bave.been the last object of his attacks. If there watt a body which, in the midst of party f ee lin gs an d 1 eonflicts, had been, to the credit of British Statesman re spected, it was the corps of foreign %lighters representing t foreign States. (Hear.) They were defenceless—they were 1 strangers, and therefore it was not generous nor hospitable ' to attack them—(hear, hear;) they were the representatives of foreignimwers, and courtesy demanded that they should be respected ; they were men, and had, besides their official I feelings, feelings which had been born with them, and care I should be taken, lest by irritating those it, lings, they were ! recited to forget the r artititial maraa.r, and compromise that peace which It was in their power to preserve or to "destroy. (Hear.) ''hat night, for the first time, he had beard an attack upon th's body. Ile alluded not to the attack made upon Prince Talleynind, because the Prince would disregard it. Ile trusted the ehlia diplomatists would also die. gard the noble Imre attacks, when he described them as being men very good for - merle. He did not say that there was any thing very sat castic or pointed in this ; but it was as coarse an attack, alai coining from a peel, as likely to rankle in their minds, if not put down by the audience to whom it was addressed— (hear, hear)—as the happiest epigram. Never h a d an attac k teen less justified. The getul men to whom the noble lord had alluded were men singularly endowed with the qualities of their office; men of great acuteness, Laming, and judg. meat (he wished others would Imitate them in the latter qua. lity), anal, above all, men or the most conciliatory manners towards Government. Ihe } raiees of these individuals, on his part, would have been indecorous, had they not been ex• cited by the interests of peace. to ctuclude with a few words on this Later sultjeci, he (Lord B.) did not consider peace most safe in the hands of timid and wavering inen,dis. inch tel to draw the sword in a just cause. He, with the noble duke, felt that the resources of the country were adequate to any struggle. This crineiction, at the same time ' did not make hint anxious to draw the sword. because once drown., he could not say how long it might remain out of the scabbard—how touch blood 'bight be Atilt. For the sake of humanity did lie deprecate war as the last of cals. Milieu, and, when the interest co the Itunuut of the country was not concerned, as the List of crimes. (II as.) Lord ABEKDREN.—The noltle earl had laid on the table a protocol, in which it was stated that there was n,. 4 more objection to publishing it than to publishing ti,e oilier acts of the conferences. Now, if there was no impropriety in making that document public, there. could be none in snaking public those acts of which it was a part. The foreign conduct of government had evinced such a want of firmness and of justice, hid been so un-English, that their lordships would be justified in giving a stronger mark of their disapprobation than was implied in the present motion. If there was a question on which all parties were agreed, it was, that we should preserve strict friendship with Portugal and Holland. Portugal the noble earl had abandoned to the tender care of a French Admiral, and towards Hol land he had acted with a harshness, a cruelty, com patible only with the utter abandonment of the faith of treaties. In the case of Holland, the noble earl could not plead the - votes of the government ; for them they saw a virtuous and beneficent Sovereign, the descendant of a family of heroes, surrounded by a people., free, enlightened, religious, and devoted. (Hear, heat ) He had beard with regret the noble earl and the loaned lord attempt to disparage that sovereign . ; but we always bated those whom we hats injured. ( Hear.) On the 20th of be. amber, the Conference declared the absolute independence of Belgium without consulting Holland. which had it vited - it to assemble. On the 20th of January the Conference pro posed certain terms to the two parties. The King Of the Netherlands gave, on the 111th of lebruary, a full sod entire assent. Belgium te.urned to the Conference its communica tion with contempt. The Conference declared its resolutieo to be final, and signified to Belgium, that if on the let June, at the latest, it did not give ha adherence, an open rupture with the great powers would be the consequence, and that Luxemb erg would be occupied by the troops of the German confederation. Belgium was not to be recognised until at gave its adherence. On the 21st of. May the Dutch minion t • gave notice, that were the Belgians not to accede; the Knag l of Holland would he obliged to resort to. inilitery means. The Conference repeated to them the:assurance that it adhered to its resolution. But then was mooted a nuts ! lion in Belgium, the success of which the noble earl judgid r of nio:e importance than die observance of pledges—the election .1 Paine, Leopold.
