He hoped, however, that fti ture discussions in that Court might be conducted lo the calm and dispassionate manner in which the Moier and Seconder had conducted themselves upon the present occasion. He wished, however, to ask the Worthy Mover the meaning of one passage in the Address which mentioned generally the liberty of the _people. He wished to know, whether it was in tended to convey to the Prince Regent, a hope ta n • the liberties of the people of this country would he . improved by the Constitution adopted in France. Mr. WAITIIMAN, In explanation, said, that he had ' not intended in this general expression any allusion to the liberties of the people of this country. Mr.' Qum on this occasion felt no wish. ti cavil with a loose expression, but he did not think the motion or the Address, as far as it was desoribed, spoke the bold language respecting this countrrnml its exertions, which it ought to speak. What, who'll a British Assembly were addressing a British Prince, ' should the great efforts of Britain in the glorinot cause be passed over in silence, or should the wis,. dom of the Administration which had carried on thin ' struggle to a successful termination he forgotten Perhaps it would be said we had no share in the ' march of the Allies to Paris—true, we had no troops there, but England was the great cause which mated the whole machine; but for Englatut I would have continued at peace with Bonaparte; mid in all probability would ultimately have been suh. tined by him. Spain was subdued, Portugal was over-run; and so con fi dent was Bonaparte of suc . cess in that quarter, that he conferred titles and -es tates on his favourites in the very heart of Tortugal. IWho, he would-ask, rescued Portugal ? Who re. covered Spain ? Was it not the British force? Awl I even before the Allies crossed . the Rhine, had, Het the standards of the victorious British army, under the conduct of the immortal Wellington, been on. I furled in the territories of France ? And who could say that the efforts of this country l e ad not done much even in Paris, and that the spirit of Lord Wellington was not predominant in the Cabinet of Talleyrand ? Re had no wish to depreciate the merits of the Allies, but had England no merit, hail Great Britain no moderation ? If Gentlemen wood(' look to the Declaration published by the Allies, they Would see that it was England alone that was re , . quired to make sacrifices, or had a;ly thing to lace,. fice, and that she, for the purpose of giving isenee to Europe, had, with a noble moderation, expres*d her readiness to resign those ships nod•those e,•:eoirs which had been purchased with her blood and are... sure—for these reasons he thought the services and the exertions in silence.
