It was to be considered merely as a matter of course, and a compliment to the Throne. If every matter referred to in the Address was to be previously dis exceed, the Session would be over, before an answer could be returned to the Speecit.—lt would, he tl ought, be much better to pass it by a silent vote, then be led into an irregular and desultory discus sion of the different topics without the proper infor mation, an instance of which ha'l oc !erred to-might. The obvious time for considelitie the affairs of the Peninsula would, he conceived, be, when the Chau cellor of the Exchequer came to the House for Sup plies. Lord CASTLEREAGH agreed entirely with the last speaker, but wished to correct a statement n:ade by a Learned Gentleman, that the Coverninent of this country had at any period conceded the right of the Americans to insist on the Repeal of the Orders in Council. Mr. WHITBREAD observed, that the Learned Gentleman's habits were not broken by the dissolu tion of l'arliament. He returned to that house the same as he was in the last Sessions, and with the same favourite topic, the Orders in Council. What he had 'written on this subject was, he believed, the oliginal occasion of his being in that, House, and his tongue bad never 'been silent on it since. A day would soon come for the regular discussion of that question, and if the lion. and Learned Gentleman was then in his place, that day would not be a short one. He was sorry, however, to entertain appre. hensions that he would•Ue beset no less by the Minis ters than by the Opposition, but he had no doubt that he would defend himself manfully, and fight like a lion in the toils. Mr. Whitbread reverted to thai. part of his Amendment which related to the subject of Peace, and defended himself, with some warmth, from the insinuations which had been thrown out against him. He did not conic to that House every year with a motion for Peace. He did not take a new ground in what be had done. lie merely conceived himself treading in the steps of that illustrious pa triot, Mr. Fax, under whose auspices he began his parliamentary career, and whose wise policy, if fol lowed, would have saved us from our present disas trous situation. To point out the distress of the times had certainly an injurious effect, but that dis tress eas so great that it could not be concealed; it would burst the doors of that House in petitions from different classes of the community. It had done so at the close of the American war. lie was not for laying the dignity of this country prostrate at the feet of France; but he wished for peace with Bonaparte, because pence with that man we must in the natural coury of t::ings sooner or later make, and the later it was made the worse. We. had constantly retesed to accept the terms of peace which we might hare obtained, because we could not obtain Letter ; and yet at eeery subsequent period we should have re joked to - have had the offer of the same terms which we had before rejected with disdain. Who would not now gladly meal the Treaty of Amiens, dig graceful as that Treaty had been represented; or the terms on whie!, we might have negaceated peace in 1866 ?—Tice singularity of the preheat Speech from the Throne was, that no mention of peace was made , in it. Oa all fernier occasions his Majesty had held out to the world, that whenever an opportunity of- . fercd for pacific arrangements, he should use every effort to avail himself of it. The reason of this omission he did not understand. The brilliancy of our victories in Spain, and tho im proved situation of our affairs there, he was not in the least disposed to contradict ; but he could not think that our efforts wire cordially seconded by the. people, when in the returns of the English slain we• counted tens, hundreds, thousands, and on the Spa nish side, two ! The Guerillas employed by Lord Wellington might be active against the French, but he doubted whether they might not do equal mis chief to the inhabitants, when not under the imme diate controul of the English. He had little doubt that the French Emperor, by his vast talents and re sources, would be finally able to extricate himself from his present diflculties. The history of the campaign of 1791 was a proof that the coming on of winter would not increase those difficulties, as it would furnish him with the means of transporting his troops and collecting supplies ; but he thought advantage might here byen taken, of a moment of distress, an interval of suspence, to make a direct, manly, and dignified proposal of peace. The CHANCELLOR of - the EXCIIE.QUER .ble esist• agreed in the opinion, that every practicable 'assist- a , - mice and means caleulated to promote the'saccess of !the same principles were to be adhered to. He the Peninsular war should be given by Government. thought the Government right in having lately treated With respect to financial means, he mild state, that 1 with the man who was by some called the Usurper of no pomade supply had been withheld.

It was true that that General was cas . hlered, antr that. his army was given to other hands ; but he v.nifituelt doubted, whether the feeling which seemed to'beie actuated General Ballasteros was not too pvevalmit in Spain, to admit of any ad- wage being taken by Lord Wellington as Commander of the forces of that country.
