sive sessions, the topi c ofth eir declamation and invective. The House, in their recent conduct, had an evidence of their sincerity on that occasion ; and Ministers, of all others, could not justify, on their own grounds, the sending one half of out armies and fleets to a point so distant from the scene of action, upon the information of smugglers and contraband traders.— They availed themselves of the absence of Bonaparte on the Danube, to send oat an Expedition for merely British insular objects ; to extract from the ruin of Austria, the last power capable of resisting the am bition of France, the possession of a few ships,'and a depot for contraband trade--( Hear, hearl—lle was not disposed to condemn the policy of not sending a British force to the North of Europe before the battle of Ey lau, because he looked upon the cause of Prussia at that time as desperate, and likely, as that of Spain was likely to terminate now. But if an army was to have been sent at all, it should have been sent to Germany ; and the only reason why he could think it better to have the Expedition sent to Walcheren rather than to Germany was, that though it could have no effect upon the Belligerents, it Placed two of its authors in the relation of ,hostile powers. It was a strange perversion of policy,. too, in his• Majesty's 'Ministers, to send an army at the most unhealthy sea son to the most unhealthy part of Europe. He should not attempt to affect the feelings of the House by a picture of the sufferings .of our brave army. He should only say, that 5000 had died, and that dou ble that number,. infected by the poison of the fever, bad been rendered ineffectual to any military duty for some time. Every circumstance proved that the Expedition had been plainest in the most profound ignoraiwe, and could not have been the measure of rational men. Did they not know that the situation of Walcheren was low ? Did they not know from those whom they must have consulted, that the cli mate was. unhealthy ? Did they know all this, and for the. glory of the operation, and the possession of a few ships, did they incur all the consequences ? —They are reduced to this dilemma, Either they did not, or they did, know all this—if they did not, they must be convicted of gross ignorance— if they did, how scandalous their conduct in such a waste of blood for such objeets.—(Hear, hear.) — The manner of the evacuation, too, afforded another specimen of their wisdom. Whilst for two whole months they were unable to determine or agree upon the measure ; whilst they were one day sending out workmen and materials for building, and die next sending out transportsto bring home the troops; whilst they were in this state of indecision and vacillation, our brave troops were exposed to the ravages of dis ease ; and it was not until at length its virulence was exhausted, and the number of deaths had ceased, that the army had been released from that charnel-house. One would have tltiught, that some feeling of com passion for the thousands that had been sacrificed, would have led to an immediate evacuation. It might be supposed, that the General who commanded the army, and who was the witness of its sufferings, would on his return have demanded the withdrawing of the army from that calaniitous situation—that he would have applied to a gracious Sovereign to put an end to the sufferings of his brave army. They had heard much of the idle waste of men that attends the progress of the French Emperor : but he had to 'sliew for it, battles won, and provinces acquired ; but the death of British :soldiers led to nothing but dis grace. He had thus adverted to the two principal ex peditions, and the manner in which they had been conducted. There was another expedition, that to the coast of Italy, which, though objectionable, he should' not dwell upon. It-was at all events a consolation, that its effects had not been such as to fill our houses with mourning, or our families with affliction. This expedition had certainly not diminished the number of our troops, but had lowered the character of the nation. AU the calamities and disasters he complained of Were owing to that House: they were the consequences of the measures of nien after their own hearts ; d7s gusted with a for mer government, they desired a change of measures, ar.i'. n Government that would actively employ the force of the country—that would fill up the Peerage in reward of useless victories, and send our forces to treacherous or unwilling allies, whilst they exhaustc4i the means of our owiu defence at home. Their measures were the sequel of those which had produced the disgraceful capitulation et the Helder; the carnage of Quiberon, the waste of St. Domingo, and the ludicrous exhibition before Ferrol; all of which were types of the calamitous operations of last year. He should then put it to the conscience of Gentlemen, whether the present was a question of 1 fidence or no connience. He requested the House, !, therefore, not to suffer it , .elf to be ltd away 'from this point by either sophistry or argument.

Had valour so long beeu admired and xtlast s if any effort could be made to save both Austria and Sp:tin, it WaS undoubtedly their duty to .set about it with the greatest energy and promptitude. Austria, as the greater povrer, and the only one that had ever been able to make a stand against France, seemed to be most deserving their consideration, and they formed a determination to. support I:er ; but they seemed to have taken no steps towaids tit desirable object till April. On the 9th of April the Austrians crossed the Inn, and commenced the campaign by the lava vasion of Bavaria. On the 20th of April the battle of Abersburg took place, in which the Aus trians were defeated Ly the French. Tn that mo ment Ministers determined to support Austria; but instead of union among themselves, one of his Ma jesty's Ministers had deemed another of them so unfit for his (Alice, that he had demanded his dis missal, itnd instead of consulting together for the assistance of our allies, they v.'ete engaged in mutual jealousies and mistrust of each other. Then followed the • battle of Essling, in which the Austrians were victorious ; but from that time the French Emperor went on from victory to victory till he came to the battle of Wagram, which decided the fate of the campaign. During all this time, it seemed Ministers had been more concerned about their own quarrels than about the assistance of Austria. How was this to have been effected Every considerate man would say by sending their whole force to one decided o')ject. What was the case ? In Spain they had an army under Lord Wellington, consisting of 38,000 men. In the Scheldt, under Lord Chatham, there were 40,000 Or more. In Sicily, 15,000—50 that all the divided parts of our military force amounted' to near 90,000 men. The army that gained the advantage at Essling was stated by the Archduke to be7U,OOO, and by Bonaparte to be 90,000 ; so that, if our forces had been combined instead of being divided, we might have had a greater Britssh force in the held than that which defeated the French at•Essling. He, for his own part, did not say tljat it would have becnAvise 'to have so great a Bri— tish force employed on the Continent ; but it is evi dent that his Majesty's Ministers did, and. it was clear that if they had had their forces concentrated instead of divided, they • must have succeeded better, The Amendment says that the last campaign was a repe titian of the errors of the preceding one. No man in the House Could say to the contrary, and he was sure no man old of the House wceld say so. Who w4s I sent to command the expedition to the Scheldt ? Was it an officer of great experience and of high mi. litary reputation ; who had often fought the battles of his country, and been crowned with laurels and renown ; one who was celebrated for his energy and activity ? No ;—it was an Officer, who under an inauspicious Administration, of which his own brother was at the head, was obliged to resign on account of the inactivity, indolence, and imbecility of his proceedings in the highoflice entrusted to his care. —With regard to Spain, the. conduct of Ministry had been much th"e same as with respect to Austria. The month of April; of inauspicious April, was that in which they seem to have laid all their plans. Lord Wellesley was gazetted in April, and did not depart till the 24th July, so that every thing that was ex- I peered fr(*m the wisdom and energy of his conduct was absolutely lost. Lord Wellington had stated on of July, that he could not advalce his army igal .y, arrive till the 12th of Jury, after the infantry were embarked. Here a new position was assumed, that the force thus collected could be employed in Conti nental operations, or in a'coup de main. Great as our resources were, there were limits beyond which they could not he strained. It was impossible to transport them to the North of Germany or to Spain, and had it been possible, still would it h avabeen, in a military point of view, improper, from the situation and disposition of the neighbouring Powers. Antwerp. was an object of great political importance, and a descent on it was more likely to call forth Bonaparte's attention than, an attack on any other place. He was ready to state why he thought success probable, and likely to be at tended with little risk. He was not ignorant of the nature of the climate at that season of the year, but it was not intended that the army should be locked. up there for such a length ofaime. It was a coup de main against the naval power of the enemy that was intended, and not the capture of Walcheren alone ;- it was therefore expected that the army would be em ployed in a dry country between Walcheren and Ber gen-op-Zooni. The melancholy accounts that had been circulated of the state of the troops were greatly exaggerated, and though our loss appeared great to us compared with the losses of France m all her wars, it was but trifling. No ob ject of magnitude was expected to oppose our re. raining Walcheren. It had never been considere4, *as an axiom, that the risk attending the keeping pos , session of that island, should deter us from taking it. We held it 31 years during the Barrier Treaty," and have since had it in our possession. He was not furnished with materials to speak on the whole of dot question. He, however, if the Officers employed should appear to have done their duty, would ever be ready to hold them above that vulgar calumny by. which they would probably be assailed. For his own port he was ready, nay, anxious to meet the fulled inquiry into his conduct, and he trusted they would, do him the justice to own that he had never shrunk from, but, on the contrary, always courted Parlia. mentary enquiry. Mr. PONSONBY, in explanation, said, he did not mein to state that Lord Wellington had 38,000 men at the battle of Talavera, but that 38,000 men were ernployed in the Peninsula. General TARLTON condemned the conduct pur sued towards Spain, and despaired of Portugal. • Mr. CANNING said, those who resigned their of fices were nut to be considered as exempted from in-1 quiry, which he doubted not they were prepared to meet ; for his part, he put in his claim for his full share of the responsibility. Subsequent to the time when the intimation was given that the objects of the expedition could not be accomplished, heknew nothing of what passed in his Majesty's Councils. Could he have been assured that the expedition would have ac complished nothing more than the reduction of Wal cheren, he certainly would not have consented to sending out such a force with no other object in view. Flushing was mot an object of sukient magnitude to-i call for such an exertion. It Wes' lateficied to strike a I blow at the naval power of France, and this was an object of the greatest importance. The stihjects Bonaparte would then have . found, that while he .was delighting them with accounts of :coniquests abroad, they were not secure fro invasion at lost its valuer Had wiM a sudden become so enligls, ened that we could contemplate it with philosophical apathy ? He knew she moralist might shudder at the shedding of huthan blood ; lazi knew f‘ That reason frowns at ware nnequalgame, ' " Where thousands bleed to raise A single name." Yet still was Lord Wellington entitled to the grati. tude of his country, and the glories of Talavera he could not think put chased so dearly as. to W for ever deplored. Before be sat down, he would Just say, that he thought it inconsistent with the 1 dignity of that House, to speak of a circumstance Whatever with the late differences in the Cabinet.--. Whatever might be said by others, nothing should induce him to break the resolution he had formed uf never speaking on that subject. Mr. WHITIIREAD entered at considerable length into the various charges which had been brought against Minister) in the course of tl.e debate; and contended, that their culpability would l be trade more and more oonspicuottet as their conduct came tax -inquired Into. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCI fEQI/ER, alluding to the disputes in the Cabinet, said, that, entering as he did into the feelings of his Noble and of his Right Honourable Friend (Mr. Canning), he was deairous, either then or at any other time, of saying as little as possible of the unfortunate occurrences which! bad &plea the Country of their services. He would on state that with respect to the differences to which the H his Gentlemen opposite alluded, be was wholly unsuspid of tlielr s ra existence until the end of last session of Parliament, •-and not till after the Expeditien to the Scheldt was detertnlvd upon. He .bad certainly been anxious to do every thing-in-Ids power to re concile those differences, feeling as he did the highest admiration for his Right Honourable Friend, but never partaking with him in his opinion of the ineffici.ocy of his Noble Friend, from whose ability, on the contrary, he entertained the greatest respect..Ful ding, however, that all his efforts to restore union were Intik' mai, he had received his Majesty's commands to endeavour to procure the assistance of two Noble Lord' in the ftirmation of a combined and extended Administration. He ceuld not conceive how this application deserved to be so unworthily _characterized as it had been by the Honourable Gentleman opposite. He c;uld assure the I ...,utrable Gentleman, that if he Gad snacipited that the proposition could have been deemed disluMounitie to the character of those Noble Lords, he should have felt it dishonour-, able to his own character to tender it. This offer baying been refused, no option was afforded him, but either to take the offi cial situation which he bad then the honour to hold, or to leave his Majesty to be dictated to by those who differed front him in opinion. The Honourable Gentleman hid intimated, that ilie Majesty's present Government did not posses; the affection and confidence of the People. 'He might, perhaps, think hint arrc* gant in asserting, that, without assuming the possession of talents and experience equal to those of the Gentleman opposite, he thi conceive t%iat his. Majesty's present Government possessed in a much higher degree than they did the confidence of the counts~', and that, under ally circumstances, they would be better calcula ted to conciliate the general good opinion. What were the oc currences rff their Administration, which were so disgraceful mll so ruinous'? The Right lion. Gentleman then replied at full length to the objections made to the recent operations of the British armies and concluded by observing, that it was evidently the object of the *I Gentlemen opposite to try their strength ; but he trusted tha t the • House would disappoint any fond expectation, of the result which they might be induced to entertain. Mr. TIERNEY reprobated the conduct of Ministers in Wend Terms. The behaviour of the Chancellor of the; Exchequer iess uhuly objectionable, and there was not a man in office she lid not wonder how he got to the head of the Treasury Beach. Mr. R.

The House then divided on the Amendment, w hen the num bees were—For Ministers 2113—For the Ammidolent 1 6 7 —Nia " jority 90. • The Address, as it originally stood, was then carried without a division, and at Half-past Five o'clock the'House adjourned. ___.• LONDON : Printed amtpublished by LEVEL KENT, of Call. tarbaty-Place.
