We might have coupled the surrender of the conquered cola s l im with abolition, and this generalisation of the demand would have removed the sting of insult from the proposal. That this was not done, he im pined no blame to the Government ; be considered it ss a mere matter of practice. He, however, took some blame to himself, and he attached some blame to others who concurred in the Address of the sth of May, in not distinctly framing it with reference to the Noble Lord's instructions. After the matinee con.ideration of the subject, he did not know whether to despond with some or see hopes of ultimate sue eass with others, but k was unwise, it was improvi. dr-It ta consider the article as an evasion of the ma s,,-^ ; let them assume a virtue for the people of Fr -r-1 , :•, and do not let them, at the end of five years, jastay themselves in a perseverance in the traffic, by staying to England, when she remonstrated—you knew, you anticipated this. The test of sincerity would come soon in themutual interchange of pledges at the Congress to fulfil the stipulation, by which all future fears would be allayed.-. Excepting the article respecting the Slave Trade, in a Treaty of so much complexity he saw nothing to condemn, but, on the contrary, much to applaud.—(Near, hear.)—He saw nothing in the Treaty that was not politic in the largest sense. As to the question whether it was politic to separate the peace with France from the general settlement of Europe, he was fully prepared to contend for its policy. It was a main object to restore France—to make her a na tion—to place her in her natural orbit —in that sphere in which the nations of Europe were accustomed to view her—and not to allow her to remain a species•of comet, sent only to frighten mankind and to spread desolation around. (Hear, hear.) Her whole system bad been jostled out of its place, and therefore what advantage-would there have been in carrying her to the Congress ? (Hear, hear.) It was much wiser to leave her to repair her losses and to gather together her strength. England would not thereby go to the Congress shorn of part of her strength— she would go 4 with an accession.of character. Respecting Italy, he trusted that its fate was not yet sealed ;—he -hoped that the arrangemen's respecting Naples. whose ring had remained the most Faithful Ally of Great Britain, still remained to be brought before the Congress. But after all. it was a theme of high gra. tulation that all the objects of the war (overleaping the Truce of Amiens) had been acconiplished—that We had redeemed every pledge—that we had fulfilled ever, expectation—that E , ,gland had reaped such re ,..... *arils as seemed to manifest an over-ruling Priori tiEsce The whole had been crowned with the happy ; itstohation of the ancient family of Fiance, and the complete abolition of the military dynasty of that tom . try which oppressed her and threatenetrthe world with t ehains.

He had often desired that the experiment might be tried fairly of making a peace with Bonaparte. The Nbble Lbrd tried ity and found Bonaparte mad and untraetable ; and when Bonaparte by his own madness had undone himself % the Noble Lord. undaunted by what might be said of the course he meant to pursue, acquiesced its the policy of restoring the ancient Family of France. There was then no other or better way left. But amongst all these triumphant events, he could not see what the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Can fling) fancied he saw very clearly, that our Constitu tion had become the model for the rescued States.— The Right Hon. Gentleman had failed to say where he saw any such thing. for surely he could not allude to France nor to Spain, and still less to Sicily, where we had endeavoured to force our Constitution at the point of the bayonet. Lord CASTLEREAGH entered into a general history of the negotiations and statement of the 'grounds on which the principal provisions of the Treaty had been framed. After expressing his sense of the personal kindness which he had experienced in his absence, no less than on his return, from political adversaries as well as political friends, and which, he trusted would never be effaced from his remembrance g he yet felt, notwithstanding the turn which the de bate had taken, some points of explanation still re mained to be entered into. He was sincerely ,con cerned to have incurred the displeasure or suspicion of any part of the House on the subject of the Slave Trade ; but he was firmly convinced in his own mind, that the cause of abolition stood at present under more favourable circumstances than it would have stood, had it been prematurely pressed pre vious to the Meeting of the General Congress.— He was far from attributing the ultimate success of the war to the connsels of miry man or set of men It proceeded from the truth and justice of those princi ciples upon which the war had been conducted, and to the virtuous and manly character so constantly displayed by this country. These principles had been propagated among our Allies, and had gradually prepared their nerves and means for a concurrence and perseverance with us in the conflict in which we were engaged. He trusted, indAeZl, that Ministers had not been dimmed by adversity, that they had never deserted, from feat. a cause which they knew to be strong in principle and in the general feelings of the world. That the Peace, however, which hid been concluded would have been imperfect, if made with any other Power than the ancient Government of France, he was decidedly convinced. The public mind had been so wounded by the aggressions of the late Ruler, his character and conduct had produced Such an impression in Europe, that nut even a total change of policy on his part could have restored a general confidence in any' Treaty of Peace con cluded with France under his government. This wa, a principle, however, that was not acted on tit' the rupture of tile negotiations at Chatillon unequivo ceilly proved that a few' transient successes hat' again awakened in his mind all those sentiments of dominion which were directly repugnant to tip• basis of the confederacy. Previous to this event, and even up to the occupation of the capital by the Allied Forces, it vras-cosuidered the most politic and most conformable to awse.principles of moderation by 'which the eonlbatettimt Poseers had been uni formly guided, to be prepared arelLalipme to treat with the Government &lido, auliilleeMM to - France herself the option of abiding by that Goriantrisent. ' It was important not to place in the hands Of Bsma parte the power of inducing the French to believe that we ha s l other objects in . view than those which we profeised. it WAS important ta thew to the whole world, that the war which se were waging was not a war for sordid or interested purposes—that it was not a war of choice or speculation, but of just appre hensions and of inevitable necessity.—(Hear I frogs all pan: of the Howe.) By the Treaty of Chaumont, in an instrument pelisaps the most solemn recorded in she annals of diplomacy, the Allies pledged them selves to prosecute one main object only—that of ge neral sect' , ity, and to sacrifice every other that should at all militate against or interfere with its accom plishment. • By at the four great contracting Powers stipulated not to lay down their arms until this deiign should be effected, and to keep up, in the mean time, a force of six hundred thousand men—(Hear.)-- It was not till the temper of the French people had been fully ascertained, that however desirable it m gut , have before been to restore the ancient dynasty is, France, and to confer oft its pipulation the blessings of a paternal Government. that the Allies refused any longer to negotiate with the infatuated Raler of that ,ci untry. 13y a movement of the allied armies, which reflected immortal honour on Prince Schwartzenberg, !wares enabled to approach Paris full five marches befFre Bonaparte, and by thus preventing him from falling back upon his capital, had been enabled to enter ii, not as a scene of warfare, but as a theatre of triumph. It was then dot a spirit immediately appe 'red in France, which under any circumstances would have eventually worked out its own di lever. Ante, and which unanimously and ardently expressed itself in favour of a change of dynasty: No corres• pondence, vin plan of co-operation whatever had , k.en held with the capital, till the negotiations at Clmtillon had- finally broken off, and yet the re cederpetidonit a thewhisacltcredd •A u l t l y ies- met with was such as ren to regard Paris as embarked in the same common cause, not as compelled by conquest to :Omit to an enemy when she would, net only because she could, no longer resist—(Hear.)— ...it was under th ese c i rcumstances, that Great Bri tain was now to treat with Ofriendly Government, and it was considered that the best means of bringing the future settlement of Europe to a successful con clusion was to suffer France to act in her own natu ral sphere, and to appear at the Congress as a great Independent State. The conduct of Great Britain had made a lasting impression upon the world, she ' was ready to surrender her colonies whenever the great and common interest of all should have been se cured ; she was ready to support the other powers of Europe as long as they would prosecute that interest, coluni4l conquests, openntiludzafiorrihf and never to retire to the mere maintenance of her e e r ver to y u o se th i e l r ero ta w t n e 1 sit sh r o e u n l g d th ln f a o k r e thiteinmtiaisnntdenaapsucef fi ocifenthertraonwinersetr Prance, I wwe l t i re e ha il t i n h c et : c e n a t pgi l reta im il te i o ts b s , j tesct taks of et :het.

This was, he might as,, the first time that Edrope had ever sat in Cabinet thee, with as earnest a disposition to conciliate a:7: adjust as ever animated thet outsells or a separate state. Tobago had been required on no other ground than that its inhabitants, without a single exception, were British-born subject!. Access to the East-Indies had been conceded upon conditions, and a condition most willingly accepted by France, thin it should be only as a commercial people, and that no question of em pire should in future distnrheither the repose of India or the pacific relation of the two countries in Europe, It was deemed our wisest policy that France should be a manufacturing li a e nd commercial rather than a -military people. Mauritius was claimed by at not for its value, but for its advantages, in freeing us from the injury accruitsg to our trade from it as a cruizing station. St. Lucie was ceded to France rather than the Saints, as one of the four great convenient harbours, all of which were formerly in her possession, which it was desirable for us to re , tain. No wish was expressed—no effort made to cut down the commercial interests or the colonial pos. sessions of France, and she was admitted into the fisheries of Newfoundland, under such terms as must avert the possibility of detriment to our own settlers, Upon the point of Niples, no engagements had been entered into ; a mere cessation of arms was all that had taken place. He trusted that all those imputa tions which had sometimes been applied to us abroad of our wishing to use our maritime greatness in a spirit of usurpation and aggression, were now refuted by nut conduct in the day of our signal victory.— France and the world had witnessed with what ala crity we had surrendered our colonial conquests, as soon as the work of general security was accomplish. ed. This work we had the satisfaction to reflect we had accomplished unshaken by adverse fortune, and unstained by an interested purpose. —(Hear, hear). Under the most perilous circumstances we !lad adhered steadily to our principles, and had left the issue to the decrees of ParvinaNcs. We had concluded the war, it was true, in the character of Conquerors, but of conquerors who dispensed blessings to mankind. - -(Hear, kror.)— He trusted that the circumstance of the King of France having for in many years found .in asylum in this country, might serve to soften na teunal asperities, 3nd nurture that feeling which had already grown up, by which the people of the two greatorival States may be taught, that it is p , ssible that a real friendship and a common interest may pre vail between them. The spell, he hoped, was dis solved by which they were led to regard each other as natural and circumciliable enemies. We had never inspired in the Bourbon Family premature hopes, nor attempted to make their accidental residence among us contribute, by fettering then. present Government, to any object of our own. Before he sat down, he felt it due to the illustrious person now at the head of oar own Government, to say, that it was his firro• :less and perseverance that had essentially aided the suc cessful progress of the great cause, and that the only circumstance, he well knew, which could cloud t he sat's faction his Royal Highness must feel vereign and Father was not in a condi) the fulfilment of a hope which had nearest and the dearest to his heart.- rail cheeriv.)
