As to Colonel Campbeli's reside! ee in Elba it was having no power, and as it was out atithot izt.d by treaty, it was soon intimated to hint that liis presence could t ery well be di-peeved with. Bat there was little pievious plan for tie escape, and he had. rtrry reivon to believe that even Gen.

The Noble Lord con_ eluded with moving an- address approwiag the precautionary Inco mes that had been taken by the Prinee.itegent.

TTIE NATInNAT, RI MISTER. ff3l parte mote powi•rtiel than ever he had been lisfore. With regard to Inc drealifol mite of preparation which the Noble Lord had /winded in the ears of the House on the meson occasion. it was plain to sett thronehout the whole of that Noble Lord's speech what he meant. He had said it is necessary we should be prepared, that in the • Te'l of the Pnwereot the'Contiinnt determining on war, we may be in a situation to act in concert with them. In other words, the Poweis nt s the Continent were to he goaded on into another war, whether they wished it or not ; and this country was to be burthen , d with the expenT of the etinte4. The N. ble Load had talked of the title of Bo liamtiste to the Throne of France. Baunaparte hail beets called to the Throne by the voice of the People; and he would ask what better title couldhe have. Was it not by that title lltA the pi Nein family sat on the Throne of Great Britain; and was it not a title far superior to that of the nom bons, who Inal been I estored to that Throne after a contest of upwards of YO years coot ineauce, and which had forst this country torreets of bloom!, onvOttand upwardeof 800 ndlli treasure--a %vitt. into which we had been tricked by va roms pretence., but which as Mr. Berke had justly said, was under ' taken for Inc purpose of restoring the Rom-bons to the . 1%10.0C ; anti for that purpose the Noble Lord now inged another war, against which he fin one must enter his solemn plain st. When the Noble Lord talked of the little faith which cet:::1 he placel in Buonaparte, he could not help railing to mind what had recently taken phice - speetine the Slave Trade. The Noble lord had been negotiating for months with the Potentates of the Continent, and with the 1.1,1 tr• boos, to obtain the abolition of this abominable traffic ; tootis Lod been given by this country to France, yet nothing eutild be obtained but a promise of its abolition at a distant peried. The icesue stetted was, that the Bourbons were afraid of the French people-, yet back comes this detested Napoleon Buonaparte, aril not at ail fratiog the French people, by whom he was said to be so bated, aholishes this traffic al tri,•ellter. This was said to be hypocrisy on hi. part ; it might be so, but if.it was7,,.he wished to God Le could tee the Mioistere of this county guilty of hypocrisy so vie thous.tlumen might describe litionaparte as beingimpopidar ; lint facts proved that he was not so. Had he been so, it wen have been impossible for him to have marched through tlie country with hariltid of men, fur several hundred miles, and nut a single Imed be lifted up against him ; on the contrary, all these who were sent to oppose him. joined his standatd, and accompanied hint in triumphs to the Capital. The Noble Lord had deprecated a prematnre cushion ou this subject. He, for one, did not wish to introduce any such; he had "oily wished to state the reasons Which wotild totally pievetit his joining in the Address, and those reasons were a per suasion, that the preparations i 4 going on were intended merely to sow the seeds of another war; to which the House would give its sanction, by sanctioning the Addres.. Mr, PoNsoNny supported the address, considering, however, that he only thereby approved the measures of precaution resorted to by the Prince Regent. Mr. AVtirrunKßD could not view the Address iii so narrow a point as Isis Right Hon. Friend. On the contrary, he coin(' oily coesider it av a prelude to another war. With re'pect to the Treaty . of Pal 1-, he could see. no reason why we should not preserve Treaty wbi cla we had entered into with France neuter a Milli - ban, and with France under Boonaparte. It was said vie could not it, because the terms of the Treaty with Louis vs ere more advan tageous than we cod(' have granted to Butoraparte. But toi (1 the. tionse had only the Noble Lord's assertion. Why did not the Noble Lord lay the Treaty of Chatillon before the House? velairli, though not signed, was in readiness to be so, and then the House would know the terms which the Allies had off( red to linonaparte, and would be able to judge for themselves. He hal heard that by that Treaty Moo:parte was to have. enjoyed a larger portion of !territoiy than any King of Fiance ever to eft. Similar offers were I 'also held out to Bininaparti• in the Declaratihn of Frankfort, issued ; ,on the Ist of December, 181 S ; and he should e,' glad to he Wormed ' 'what onarantee wait demanded ot France at that time. What was I the nature of the Noble Lord's sin reit t++-night ?
