I 11111 aware that there are CiMIIII.

From the second week of August to NOvember. the Bri tish troops were kept there, after ell hopes were lost even by the Cu iiiiii ander himself. For two or three month* after success was despaired of, and the Expedition was io a manner given up, the Bri tish troops were kept ther e a prey to disease cod pewit...nee.

I beseech you, in this awful crisis or your fate, separate not yourselvea from the Lmiseensinet ot Ministers ; you have heard it detailed ; it might be a pleasing deltemon. if their misconduct. if their crimes. and the catiruities consequent moos them, could be attributable only to theinselve.. But it is not so. You are ansieeretile fur them, if you suffer them. They have said, that Sir Join Moore had a discretion of his oisu : the facts she» he WY% controuled by a superior, but lees efficient. power. The seine evils which attended the system of the Ant Expedition, caused the failure or the second. Ministers would implicate Parliament in the char4e which only eiight to affect them. Be unt offended, my Lords, at what I state. but put it home to your hearts, and ask yourselvea, whether, after the Ex pedition of Sir Jishit Moore, and after the Expe dition of Lim! Wellington, you can determine to encourage these Ministers in the prosecution of measures so ruinous to the country ? In the present awful situation of the country. let me entreat you to reflect that you have an important duty to dis charge. If you enecitte it with apathy anal indiffer ence—if you inert only fur the purpose of hearing the detail of the errors of Ministers—consider that some portion of that blame which ought only to be iiimisted to them, will attach to 'NHL—My Lerd., the situaiiim of the country beteg what I have stated, it ham lip quarter by which to direct its thoughts, ow l encourage its expecastions, but the energies, the power, and virtue of Parliament.-- This is lint a time to rs,t contented by cover hog with blind votes of confidence those errors of Nliiiiaters which are so notorious. and pro ductive wf sm.+ irreparable evils.

The Government is broken. 441-acted. iticompetent, without energy, and incap dole of maintaining its authority. The salvation of the country is only to lie hoped for from your energy and patriotism. It is you who must step between your country and destruction. It is on these grounds I move an Aniendmenr, expressed iu terms, that, I think, will be, in some degree, 'satisfactory to the public. The first paragraph of this Address contains the expres sions of regret, on the part of the House, upon the melancholy fate of Austria. In those expressions, I perfectly agree: Alter mentioning the failure of Austria, and before we enter on any subject what ever, it appears to rue to lie our indispensable duty to speak to His Majesty in such terms as are plain, clear. intelligible, and canmit be' misunderstood. I therefore move, that instead of the words which follow. these should he substituted : " That we have seen, with the ntninve sorrow and indiges tion, the ecru inutited fallen* and disasters of th e l as t cam . ploy', the I travailing waste of oar tuitional resource", sad the loss of sn many thmasaands of onr heart troops, whose di*. tingunheil and lit one vetoer has been nnprotitably sacrificed in caterprizes productive not of advantage, but of lasting its jury to the country. Euterpriats marked only I, a repe ntins of former errors ; tardy and macciaillsioed; incap ab le iw their sureess of aidiag oar Ally, in the critical mouseat of his fate, het exposing, in their failure, Hi. Majesty's Coun cils to the genre and derisioe of the enemy. ° That we therefore feel ourselves bound, with a view to the only atonement that can now be made to an injured people, to institute, without delay, such rigorous and effec tual ingots-lee sad proceeding's duty impels us to adopt in • case where our ametry boa been subjected to unexampled calamity and disgrace." The rail of H•lnoM•lrrontended, that the Hume costal not agree to the Amsadiumit, unless their miuds were muds up on the subject, as it sousuand to an absolute and deci sore vote, whereas, there were sot at present grotto& kid rifin-e them even Alf an inenity.-sTlfe Speech, however, hod promised to famish the necessary documents. and when that was done it wneold be time eimosieh to institate a process upon them. With respect to thecharge the we had not effectually assisted thu exert . of Austria, nisi power, he asserted, had gune to war without au ) rocoutaerneent from rig ; hut, even R.s, no spat could be se well hum.° to aid her 'Wort., as glut to *hob thi esprdition was seat. We had not as great a (race as *het recJinmesided by the Noble Baron ; awl even if we lied, it would have required eatranriliturry means and express to convey ut hammy, and timiutius it is that quarter. Had,laswever, all this been practicable, it would Ire roost int peisdest to have sent so large • roc, to so great a distance Pens home, immoral,* as we must be of the attempts that the enemy might make spas this country in its observe, and of the ma terial change that might take place is the affairs of the Cos tincut, between the time of its soden/how Englaud, and its wisest at Trieste.

It had, besides, beta cetiastsd toper rare, and was at the time in imminent danger of fall ing again into, the hands of the plenty. It posoiwsied also port of great importance, and was the channel of comma nieatiou with Splint. The holds Lord then proceeded to compare the state of Portugal before Sir Arthur Wellesley sailed with its present situstion, in which Portugal is clear of the enemy, and may he considered safe, at least for a time ; whereas, had nut the troops been sent there, the country would have been overrun by the French under Victor. With respect to the expedition to the Scheldt, it was objected that it was too late to moist Austria. It was true the armistice was signed; bat, suppose the armistice had ended in a reuewal of tile war, what would have been the rose then ? And, even ma it was, it could not be con- Worded that it did nut iutluence the terms of the peace.— Nu persun, indeed, could doubt this, who compared the terms of the peace, however utif irourable to Austria, with the tone previously assumed by Bonaparte. His Lordship eamelsided with saying, that there were no grounds laid at present for iugairy , and that it would be at all events us precedeuted to tote censure before The Earl of Muitt• said, if he thought any power of speech ur language necessary to excite the indiguatio• of the contry, at the sceneeo which this o ',gooey lately exhibited to the world, he would out have midi weed Ilse 'Souse. The Noble Earl had asked, whether without proofs thry shooutel go 'whitey, mach less wououncejudgnient ? But Weal.' be therefore contend, that without pivots the House would go into approval ? For his pail be emoted no proofs, bat those already before the Hur.e. The proofs demo:chug not only inquiry bet comileinameun stand before them. (11.ar! hear ! ) T hey were plain and niauifest. The whole coterie lion of his mind, and the conviction of every one who VA* sidered the assioject, called Mr juolentitiii. It wan impoesitile to argue against the doiefoil Meech, already experienced, and 'hoer which still threatened us. Upon the face nf the cafe he would therefore go the full length of the Amendrueet, al though it only goes to Inquiry at present. The Noble Enrl unl out fairly stated the Cale of Austria, as put by his Nubia Friend. Hs wonld admit, with the Speech, that we had not en couraged Austria to go to war, but whet was the i,al fact Austria havisig, of her own accord, drawn the sword against France, Ministers neglected their dirty if they dud nut imme diately exert every meanu to assist her exertion. We weir interested ice her succws, and it was their duty to eacourage out wily her, but every teller Poser that was disposed to light out battles. Nu specific promise of aid having been given, wune was broken; but if that mil, which our MM. reds required, was nut granted, Ministers bad equally rte elected their duty. Hu NoMe Friead (Lord Goeuville) bad nut said that the beCCUArd should &amount to so large • Gore as 100,000 mica. lie only contomiled that Mtaisters Laving determined to scud out a terms.o force, it ought to have been directed to a differeost point from that to which It was seat. It would have threatened most formidable ems seqwences to France, bad the force seat out been lauded us the south of Geremuy. Again, had it been seat to the north, what *Meld nut have tutu exported from it, acting in the rear of the French :Tony, and combiaing the scattered troops on that part of the Continent? With respect to Spain, he differed entirely from the Noble Earl. The clew of Spain af forded the meat glorions opportunity ever afforded of termi nating the war with glory. and overiouniug the power of Bo naparte. That an enthusiasm existed in that country, could nut be quest - honied, fur nothing hut enthusiasm could have kept arnica still together, after so many defeats and disasters. That rathmouseni made Spain a lever, by which the powered France might have bees rcnwred from its fon uolat au emetic that wight be wonted with the greatest effect agaiuust hcr. It was, therefore, the interest of this country to huve Mean tied herself us iii Austria, sad share' every danger. But al though we were mat pledged to Austria, it will not be con tended that we were sot pledged to Spam. The pledge es Spain wets not only given by Pal bantam, hot it leas COlifillleed by the enthusiastic voice of the country. And how was it fulAlkel > M Misters sent an arm) to Portugal, with ionitruc lines, if we may judge from thole which transpired upon the Inquiry into the tWerention of Cintra, to deliver that coun try, and cousoler Spam as merely a secondary object. Sir Arthur Wellesley's army, however, did advance into Spain, and gained a victiwy ; bet although the stronger, and vi_ta rions allay, it immedistely retreated The instruction, of that gallant General were esiliev)defective, at he hail mu the menus to carry forward his vi ioricrus army. And what in etel some, two great Spaaali aratics, left to themselves, have Men shire rut to pieeew, slide a British army nannies.' io artive in their vicinity. After each scenes of celensity, their Lordship* woold disgrace tbeisseelves, if they did trot take moths err as that is the Amendment. The country at lams was look iog to Bre result ore that night, and the House ought not to dirsappoint 'es just expeetatiosm. Attei the experience of last yea., they had nothing to expect in the preleat tae, boil increased disasters, if in the smile hands. To reject the Aniewhomit would Ge only to sneer their Lordships parties to the shies and evasion by which almosteis toenail' le get rid of it. Viscount Stolllnnen enocarred in the substance of the Amendment, and :An is the nii...si!ty of inquiry. Ile was ;male, howe►er, of the great inconvenience attending In quiry, by drawing away, at such a moment, no many °diem from the service ; but if inquiry were to ►e instituted, he would have It unt into a part, but into the whole of lb* campaign. hut, notwithstanding these were his sentimenta, be could not support the Amendment in its whole extent; fur, while it demands inquiry, it, at the same time, pronounces judgment and condemnation. Ile would rather prefer an Address to His Nlsjesty to remove Ministers. by the Amendment, condemnation would precede inquiry, and this was his great objection. He was not afraid of that mode ration which was roundest in justice, soil it did appear to him unju4 to talk of inquiry, and at the same time to pro nmosee jiidg m eor.—Of course ►e must object to that part of the Ansenditient. Lord Mu Imo AVIt took a view of the two Expeditions to Portugal and Waleheren, the conduct of which he supported by the same muse of &epitome as that followed by the Earl of Herrman. Earl GUY, lo one of the most eloquent and argosiea tate* speeches we ever heard, addressed the Horse at coltish &cable length. Never, in the whole course of his parlim snentary life, did be feel a' much concerted for the critical mad disastrous situation of the country. The hoinoi, a sad titles which Ills Majesty'aGoverouneut had conferred on lord Viscount Wellington ' were such an ought to have been be stowed on Gesetrals like the illustrious Marllstrough.

Whatever might be the boast ut Loot Wellitsztoo's victory at Talemen, it was istiewicil with all the consequences and disasters of a defeat.
