. • ' . Another topic on which it would be necessary to du eil, was our Expeditiou to she Scheldt.° No arma ment hal ever cost so much money to the tiountry. The number of men employes! in the differetst de. partimetits onounted i to above 100,006. .Ovei all these was set the u ntie of Chatham— a name dear Us the country. Alt this mighty projea however, in battering down the walls of the iii etlensive town of Fleshing, and in the taking of which had no e ails iat all. The Expedition sailed in the month of August; 1(11 2 h (tits It reatilwil its destination : it could have . 11-it e.implisited all it did accomplish in a few days; i was kept for misellis in bogs and mar-lie:, sub. sect to all the diseas•s of the couutry. 'lle trusted tharsometbing wont,' be dune to had out where the blame lay ; if in the plaimers, he hoped they • would be !welshed ; aml if' in the Commanderi, they °sight not to eseape eith impunity. But there was an ohcr still more disgraceful and cala mitous expedition, namely, that to Spain, ender Sir Arthur Wellesley. All present must remem ber the spirit of liberty that broke omit in that country, and how by the influence of val and love of the Spaniarda •had succeeded in driving the French out of their country•; they then introduced local Goveraments, amid sent to this country for supplies. Here their misfor tunes begata—the Allnisters of this country did ail they could to crush the rising spirit of freedom that was rapidly pervading Spain. Their tirst act of impolicy was to create one central Government, instead of these local Governments n Rich the pew. pie were bent upon establishing,' and, what was tuure surprising, they compelled the Spaniards to proclaim Ferdinand VII. the very man who had betrayed his country to France. The spirits of the people soon began to fla , ° , and then external assistance was resorted to. When our armies ar. tired in Spain, the pe.sple were as jealous of them us of the armies of France. This had been %sit. isevoed iu the case of Sir John Moore, and one %mild naturally We summed that this would hove been a lesson to Ministers.. Another arm', however, Homier Sir A. Wellesley, was driven alto the Sitthe snare by his•b Ad but rash conduct : be übtainud a victory, but it was followed by all sue consequenses of a defeat ; the army was left ie an unwholesome climate, and was now about to retorts without having accomplished anything. It was no Wunder than these thins should hap.' pen, when it was found that the men who had the conduct of affairs wt.,: quarrelling with each , other, and yet were otill permitted to send out Expeditious. What (remedy was left for 'IA country, under these alarming circumstances, but to address. his Majesty ? If the answer from the Throne resembled that glee's recently to the tom. lion Cuvecil of ',widow, namely, that no en. quiry was malmsey, ho must suppose that Mi. misters had wilfully concealed the circumstances from his Majesty ; fur if he kilew the ruin and osetempt which they' brought upon the country, • 4‘„_ could nut but be alive to their misconduct, and to the complaiets of his people. It was the duty of the meeting to tell his Majesty the truth ; he reminded them, that every speech from ther King was to be covssideret! as the speech of Minis. Iwo, a n d therefore might he freely discussed., %hero was no doubt that some persons would At& ViSci the peopleto wait until Parliament met, and• that lay their grievances before it ; but what had eiceerianen taught us 00 the subject of Parliamen. .. . . 46 h it with equal grief and shame we are etuispelted fur . ther to submit to your Majesty's attention. ,that whist th armies of your Empire acre perishirg by }hyalite and the swor.l ion Spain, nod by disease in Wtslchercn, your Majesty's" Ministers, regardless alike of the honour of their Sovereign snd the datigers of Ate Coaairy: have cons' limed the limit evihieh ot g d to have Intro exclusively devoted to the puhlie service) is the most disgracer :I sqmibbles, , Intrigues, and ca bals; and have nut hesitated, by publishing these tranArtioes to the world. to expose your Majesty's Councils, nag the character of yinw Government, to the ridicule and contempt of surrounding nations t and to , prove sheasselies the faithless. and unworthy servaets of your Majesty and door public. We humbly, therefore, supplicate your Majesty, that you will be' pleased to institute a must rigid enquiry into the causes of the calamitous issue of the 'two expe dition: to Spain and the Scheldi; and we rest . assured that your Majesty will .lo all that lies in your power to preveSt the recurrence of similar disasters, by bringing to condign punishment the authors of our misfortunes. We cannot con. dude this, our hanable Petition to your Majesty, without al- Jading to your Majesty's gracious answer to a similar eo:t 'tion from time . May or nod COMOOII .coo)tett of the City at Lonilon,.in which your Majesty is pleased to refer the Pea flonets to the wisdom of Ilitrliainent. We presume WOO" to your Majesty that we have -seen fist, years put ifilfill the deepest concern, that attempts to procure tory Errauiry upon the subject of our Natiriald rsfordinnn; tavalisee. have in all eases been umuccessful I and la - the corn* of the last Sessions we witnessed, with net lees astuoishineat 1, • than indignation, that a system was adopted, and alniast pro- claimed, of protecting public men from public •inquiry—a ' system which is in direct defiance of the midrib/in practice of the best periods in our history, and- the West undoubted and invalu:dole principles of our Coostitutinn. It is alibis an couLt that we presume to psefer this our Fetbion to yolk Majesty, in doing which. we have the happiness to exercise that great and constitutional privilege, winch, wastittemPktd to be taken from our ancestors by the arbitrary and unprin cipled advisers of the HoUse of Stuart, but which Was for sever secured . to us by that gleams ilevuletion which pro duced the happy succession of your 'Majesty's Family tu•the Throne of these Realms." • . Mr. BLANDY seconded the Motion for the. Address. Mr. MATILEIV • MONTAGUE then rose.— lie rejoiced in the opportunity now given him of expressing - his most cordial approbation of the important privileges given by the Censtitution to the people, of (hut meeting together, and pub. licly discussing the'alfairs of tho State. Ho recog nised, in its fullest extent, the right of the subject to petition the King; and ho also approved of that itenitlution of the Meeting which 'gave every freeholder, great, or small, the privilege of' delivering his sentiments. He considered suck Meetings as calculated to check and con'. trout. the King and Parliament, -if either was disposed to trench on the liberties of the people. But while he recognised these . true' and undoubted English principles, ho could not,, cuitscientiously say that it was judicious at present to discuss the state of public affairs in- en full 'a Meeting. ( //ear ! Blear !) Ire thought that if the 'Meeting had been confined to.n smaller isouibrr of individuals, every purpose might ltate'been an. swered. . As it was, however, he hoped that Elig nehmen when addressed would consider their rea- 1 son as well as their passions. It. would thus' early say that ku by no moms came •to the same CoaCkuSiollS with the Noble Lord as to Alm present state of public affairs; and' be begsli that the Meeting would beai him. patiently, if what ho said had reason in it.. -,--[Alacis laughter.] There was a sort of stir east e ' , kr addresses. ' t..sy Inquiry ? It was a notorious fact, that, some liow or ether, Ministers had the power of cum. ni394ling inajosities in both Houses of Parliament. Ile conceived, therefore; that there was little to hope fur tram *Parliament, and the only tosciarce left to the People, was to address his Majesty, and tell hint their real sentiments. His Lordship con.

Per. hops the Noble Lord would threw away the West Indies on the same ground r With respect to our Expeditions, was it to be said that, because they were aniuccesiful, the grounds were impoli tic or unwise ? With respect to Spain, he did nut think that the Govern/tient could have acted otherwise thin they did. They could not know that the Spaniards were cowards until they were in the fielct with - them.-" I next come to the evasions among Minister's themselves , . I admit that nothing could be more disgraceful ; but I see no use in noticing them here.. This I will say, however, that those who quarrelled with each other were no patriots, and, thank Gld, they are now out. Of course nothing in the Address now proposed can apply to Ministers on tint, score ; and as fur the Duke of Portland, we aft know that he is out, dune, -gone dead --L.lluch laughter].
