Lard J. lIESSVELI, sell, that before he would state what his insatiate was, he would in a few wards state what was its nature and object. It was not his intention to bring any charge or accusation against his Majesty's Ministers, for the policy pursued by diem in regard to other countries. There was an objection cartel to his ttttt tion in regard to don. that as the war Au which he nimble referred was at an end, this measure might be looked an as rather historical than as referring to anything at present existing. TO this lie arnwered, that his wish was to prevent a reeurrence of that which hart - sited lately ; and be brought this atavism Rowed' nut so much with a view to discussion as to hear from his Olajeety's 31inistere an explanation of that policy mew width they acted. He rolled Upon them to explain why, after a peace dentinal, he might say with an almost universal congratu letion, and after being hailed In that House with lead applause on one ode, and with silence on the other—why, he would oak, w.ve we again so near entering upon a war? And so near it we sere, that the only reason suggested against it was the hoprodence of entering upon it against so matey and so weighty Poway*. Ile hail heard it mentemed as an objection to this &emission, that these other Powers were the allies of his Ma jedy's Government, and that In the speech from the throne it was sow his Majesty had received swimmers of amity and peace from Iris sillies, and there was every reason to hope that peace would be maintained. IVhat was the meaning of the word allies ? It nevelt a union and alliance of Revival Powers fur the attainment of the kaiak! object. This object was cenfessedly, in the case to which lie alluded, hostile to English policy and to the principles of the English Constitutor. The late inviudon of Spain by the French was rho:Melly ttpluried to the policy of this country. From the tune of Louts XIV. to that of Bonaparte it was the favourite plan of Freer to establish an influence in Spain ; to the object this cuuntry had been ever opposed (rum the period of die victory of Blenheim, to these gained at Salamanca and Vittoria. During this pei al n was the policy of this country, by every means in its pes• r„ to prevent the establishment of this French hillitence in spain. About tee yearn sioce the beet blood ui England had been spilt in the Grids of Spain for the amine purpose • now the remelt were the posseiteries of these very fields.

With meet to the manner agh, which we had la/len into this situation, It was well-known that ten years sines we wore highly suet:month—we hail a great command/ay at the head of our vietotious temps; *lid, finally and lastly, the elements dietaries had conapirid in our favour and ire trilmted to our stoccoss. What lie wished to know ware, the results vii our conduct and success. In the year 1814, and again in We year 1818. a peace was concluded upon principle , a ow, not only to the deploutacy of this country but he might may of the world.

But by the new policy of 1818, this pedant) was abandoned; the beam* was surrendered into the hands of the ,plied Kings and instead of answering the prayers of afflicted nations, England w ee:red every prayer that was mule to her. The first conse quences ut the, disappointment of all their hopes was, that the best and • isest men ot Europe, instead of impeding nettle supremacy of Roseland, preyed that vengeance might fall upon her, of the be trayal of ha hopes and tapeetatirms ; the loss of the balance of power, and its surrender to the bands of power:al Kings, was at tended with the wore. consequence*.

A sheer despotism now ruled in that unhappy country, I and it was, if possible, in • won. condition than .t any other period of her history, and for this, amongst other reasons, that firrnierly men could pursue their studies, 411 •heir pursuits, and by keeping quiet incurred no danger; but mince the pommigation of the Constinitien, all such men made their opinions known, and were now subject to the lash nt unlimited authority. He had been as tweed, that since the restoration of the King no leis than one thousand persons were confined in Saragunna, at.d • propor donate number in every other town and fortreu in Spain.— Massacres were committed, the eyes of many torn out, merely because they were friendly to a free Constitution. If the French were able to restrain these excesses well and good; but it was to be onnideral that the French were not in all part. of Spain, and so far, that they were ineonmetent to the object ho which they were said to garrison that country. With respect to the conduct .1' this country, he PAW no advantage to us from the pneareeion of Spain by France ; the whole of our ancient policy was sewn it, even during the infamous reign of our Second Charles. The of Spain by France was to be viewed with apprehension Fr e st lu case War, AS Spain, no deuht, would juin France against us, in return for continuing Ferdinand on his despotic threat. The Cabinet of Madrid wenild be dictated to by that of Paris, and in short the family compact, which we had always endeavoured to break up, would henceforth be established more firmly than ever, and that with our own concurrence. With respect to the views of the Holy Alliance, he knew their dislike to freedom, and to its incident—free discussion. The L'onl Chancellor wan said to be extremely sensi tive in all discussions concerning his Court, but he wee not half so much so an the Holy Allies. It WAS, however, • happy moral retri button, that those who britught misery and ruin on others, SWAM can later telt a pang of misery themselves. l liar, hear, beer.) If there were any doubt of the views of those Holy Allies, the' (louse need only , look to the state of Switzerland. Fifty years ago, in Switzerland, Kings might be censured without fear or flattery now they must not be stokes of without attributing to than qua., ties morel, and wientilic, and humane, which scarcely one admen powans. Switrerland wan formerly the seylom of the peresented; new even a Swiss citizen may be exiled his country s& dr mat. mend of x foreign power. Why did not the Allies Nemeth" erne system in this country? Only because they feared our power. Their dispoteition, however, could not be doubted. The =mums of the Swiss press were of little iniport, can o a red with our shw lionise; as sions both in and out of this ou; and he was sure the Allies viewed with almost equal dislike the Right lion. nemetary fur Foreign Affairs, and the Hon. Member for Yorkshise, se in t , !2 did the great inane of the gentlemen who spoke on the 0 tiou side of the (louse. The immures of the Holy Allies did not bear discussion, and hence their apprehension of it. But for a moment, &glen reverting ra tite occupation of Spain by France, mine of the French diplumatiats did not disguise their object. They said plainly, that while Ireland's discontents were coml. need, the ecupation of Spain would be a terror to Englmod. M. nlonnuorency. if nut M. :le Chateaubriatwi, went dust length. Foe himself, be did not wish unnecessarily to touch on this topic ; but in limiting at the general question, it was too important to be omitted. l'he It t. I I un. Secretary fur Foreign _Affsirs had eahl that the elements of a Ministry agreeing upon Catholic Emancipation could not be found in this country ; and all he Owed J. Russell) could say in reply to this was, if it were the case, it only went to say, that no Ministry could be farad to enure the peace and tranquillity of the country. Considering the irritations winch centuries of mis rule have pmduced ireland--considering die vices and the crimes which must always grow out of constant oppression and resistance, the puuession of Spain by France ehouli be viewed with the utmost jealousy and rill 1111 l n. The Irish people could now only feel that half the British Cabinet was persecuting them, die other betraying them ; that altogether they only excited hopes they did nut intend to realise, and created discontent to keep the people in a state of degradatiuss. ( I leur, hear.) The organs of the French petty ne ver ceased to state, that England was particularly vulnerable through Inland. Gentlemen who merely looked to their own countries, were oft, n satisfied at the rising prosperity ; but if they looked in a wider field— Willey extended their views to what was panting else where, they would see that the object of France was nothing more nor less than the annihilation of the,free Constitution of this (nun try. If veer they could secure that object, Europe would be but one scene of unmitigated slavery, and misrule, and opprestion, and crime. Supposing that to be the object of France, what were the best means to oppow her ? The most obvious would be to break up that confederacy to which she was so deeply pledged, and of which she formed 111/ conspicuous a member ; but that was now inipiewible. The Cabinet of Austria was governed alone by fear : of Frederick the Great at one time, of Napoleon at another, and nowunly oppoeed Rnneia's attack on the Porte, because her whole empire might fill if the Autocrat were successful in his ambitious projects. inistersof France were now dictated to by Rus sia, and placed and displaced as she thought proper. Austria was pledged by her own interest am! safety to yield to the united plans of France and Russia. The French linvernment were now endeavouritig to entabli.h an aristocracy, and to elevate the clergy to their Conner power and wealth ; and France, to Mixt thane ob jects, times:wily looked to the support of sonic foreign porter ; she concerted her measures with Russo,—and Russia, es he just said, dictated Ministers n well as measure to France : they aided each other in every effort to weaken or diminish the power of England. If, then. that compact could not be broken—if that alliance could not be dissevered, howwere the million and a half of men rtmdy to aid France to be opposed ? In nature every animal was armed with its particular weapon of detract and the defence of this country was her ships. 'rhe views of the Holy Alliance were not confined to Europe, but evidently extended to South America. True, they said they had no such intention, but they said the same timing before the French entered Spain. They might not send an armed force to South America, but he was persuaded they would send out anento and emissaries to sow discord antottgat the people. and do all they could to pnweote a civil war. Those Holy Allies would set town against town. and brother against brother, and in such an insitlious manner prepare the way for the renumption of all the old intolerable Spanish tyranny. The object of the Allies was to keep the war alive in South America, in order that Spain might send unt detachments, and, as the result of intrigue and force, to put down the spirit of liberty in these delightful countries. Spain might pretend to send mit troops to South America ; but he said, if Spain, in the possession of France, and French 1111111iCTS acting as her police, sent out any troops, that England should at once resist any such attempt. If Spain, without any foreign assistance, and without French troops keeping her in their possession, could subjugate South America, site might do so; but Spain had no right to employ foreign aid at home, while she pretended with her owe troops to attempt the rtmquert of her former colonies. 111 case of any such attempt, the Mintsters of this country ought to declare, that they would allow no succours to cross the ocean for the conquest of South America. bet Spain do all she can of herself, but LA us be no longer deceived by the pretences of the !holy Alliance. Now, one word with respect to the papers laid on the table : lie would say, that perhaps better an. sane could not be given, nor could the subject altogether be better treated, than by the Right Honourable the Secretary fur Foreign Affairs. Item as to the pretence,' of the !Lily Alliance, that Right Honourable Gentlemain %Insult! say, " you have before cheated mid and deceived us, and we can no longer depend upon what you state." Ile called upon the House and the Government, openly to avow their distrust of that confederated body, whose whole object wits to crush liberty whenever it raised Its head. Such an avowal would by nu means lead us into a war, for the Allied Powers were now so occupied in restoring their dilapidate.l credit, that for some years to conic they would be unable to rink its chances. It would be therethre unwise to delay the' stateiuent of oar opinions. The cause of South America was as much ours as hers ; it was the common cause of civilization and huiusnity. The contest of the Holy Allies was mte against Cleve. tion of character and principle—against the light of knowledge and the growth of freedom—it wars against the improvement of man kind. In combatting such Powers, we would he adding to our own strength, dignity, and glory, and secure for ourselves the lasting thanks of a grateful, etilightened, end free posterity. (Cries of " Ilene.") The Noble lamed concludes! by moving tin copies or ex tracts of all communicatiuns made by this Government to that of France, reserving the evacuation or the French troops from Spain. Sir R. W IletiON begged to make • few observations on this very eery important suldect--a subject nut only embracing our tioreign policy, but one at kiting directly the interests of ten millions of people, and, collaterally, of millions of the Portuguese, whose fate and fortunes would be influenced by our decisions. Ile agreed with much of what fell from the Noble lend, and he hoped they would be. able to extract such opinions from Ministers as would be useful to Spain and to humanity. Every one must agree with the Noble lamed as to the barbarity of the unprovoked aggression upon Spain, an aggression which even success (generally covering the delimter.cy of such attempts) only ethical to the enormity of the attack. The military occupation of Spain, combined with the influence of Russia, was highly daneerous to the honour and sectuity of this country. It was a piddle scandal which ought no long.? to he permitted. lie had beard tthat the Govern . meat of this country agreed to be the arbitrators of the dif ferences between Spain and South America, and that lon dun was to be the seat of a sort of' Congress tie the lkpu- lien of South America and Spain, its mice to crane to wane final • setticnient of the questions lietw•-en them. But such a conduct minld be at direct ariance with out whim professions sir neutrality, and highly diarqicctable to Satoh America, if her Governments egret-ti to it. It was said, however, that Spain only wished, in doing this, to secure for herself commercial advantages. Vet, but what v wild be the next object ? Why, merely to raise money to pay that auxiliary army, which could no longer exist without it. Give Spain money and you give her the means of perpetuating op. pressing ; deny her money, and either the Spaniards will obtain their liberty. lithe" deserve it, or they will remain as they now are. The King of Spain, when leaving Port St. Mary's, declared to General Alava, that there was no object so near and dear to his heart as a general amnesty, and that the last thing lie would avoid was any vindictive reaction. Now, however, he was in the hands of France, and the system of proscription was unbounded. He did not nowt to say, dlr.' this Government should go to war for the sake of Spain ; but he was quite ',misfits! that many it I as country objesied to the Spanish l'unstitutlon bee-nese they thought it tou democratic"), and as likely to pmeluce 'revolution in France, threatening the security of die House of Bourbon. Iledid not blame the - !‘linisteres of this country for not going to war ; but they shoold boldly denounce the pine:ple on which the war against Spain was tinc'ertsken. The !sing of France was indebteti hoc his throne to the Prince Regent of l'oegland ; atul the 'knish Govern ment ahuniti tell France, that her efforts to meledue another nation's liberty, could not be silently tolerated. The British Government, however, talked of their neutrality—neutrality they had determined upon ; an train that very moment the ruffian band, called the Army sit the. Faith, was immured: the treason of Mtwillo, Ilallasteros, end A hinhal followed, and despondency was spread amonget the' friends era free constitution; public credit was desinered, and the Spanish Government had not :be means of paving the artry, or throwing 'applies into the minimills. It was said that the Constitutionalists .a we" faction; but if they were, they were a Venice' co. sand the most antieabie and enlightelead toot h Spain. ta — tr — ve was another reason why they were entitled to oar support f they were the friend s o f civil *mid religious liberty. (Hear.) France, too, waa so well aware of this, that it made the war a re ligious crusade. tio felt the Church of Freurce—they felt that the intolerant Chores of Spain was in danger. The constitutional party was not a faction. Why was the French army kept in Spain? The flag of despotism was flying in every quarter, yet still the army was kept there. H e admitted that the people of Spain had not made the ablest deknce that a nation could have made in defence of their liberties, but they must consider the circum stances under which that nation was placed the formidable alliance against which they had to contend, and the trifling re sources upon which they had to rely. Ile could not give a better description of Spain, of its state mid cnnetitution, than by stating briefly to the House the condition of Cadiz just before its surrender: Cadiz was considered, even in the times of the former war, to re quire a force of 24,1000 men to defend it; now the whole lurs amounted to about %POI men. Not a cheyeaus des friar was to be had--no provisions to be procured, and its the Treasury, the parr of the army on the day of surrender amounted to It dollars. Yet even on the day C? surrender there wits no apprehension or alarm on the part of this people ; they mot the danger as it fitted men prepared fur the worst, and there war no evidence, as there existed in reality no apprehension, fur their fate. Let no man then suppose that there did not exist in the Spanish people true feeling and cou rage. He hoped the Right Hun. Gentleman would be enabled to state to the House in what the delay in the evacuation of Spain originated. But could he tell the House that any reliance was to be placed in the assertions of France? The praises so un justly lavished upon the Duke D'Angouleme were in his mind ittle merited. The House would remember that it was he who had given up to the scanitlel the brave but unfortunate Riego—Biego, whose only crime was the vindication of his country; and whose memory was charged with cruelty, which they neva ventured to bring aginst him while living. And here he should beg the attention of the House to transactions with which he was 'ter minally concerned. Not that he was desirous of shrinking from the responsibility of stating that part which he had acted In those scenes. When an attempt was made to soap him of the only remnant of honour left to him, as far as these Despots of Europe were concerned, it wax natural that his feelings should be somewhat excited. It would be necessary for him to make a short statement, not with any vain or ostentatious purpose, but simply to describe the circumstances under which these honours were conferred on him.—/In this description the Hon. Gentleman was so ioaudible in the Gallery as to render it quite impossible for OS to follow hien.] lie dmetibed the various honours conferred upon hitti by the .Sovereign/ af %mope, and the brilliant exploits for which they had been Resigned to him, and then asked for what isjurles he had been deprived of there honours ? The Hon. Gentl emen then described the eitaation in which his children—his two fe male children, were placed by the French custom-house officers. They were se ized just as they entered the packet, and conveyed as criminals and searched, while the maid who acoompanied them was not molested. For the conduct of the Hight Hon. Gentleman en that subject he merited what he should ever feel towards him, the greaten personal regard. I.YTTI.EION observed, that he felt no disposition to deny the gallant conduct and the distinguished spirit of the lion. Carer who had just addressed them, and no man had a more obvious right to assist Spain in her recent struggle. Ile was quite sure too, that in the inaptitude, and indeed carelessness of liberty which Spain manifested, the lion. Gentleman was in no respect a participator, and that her degradation WAS to mote extent stayed by his persevering effierts, in the advancement of her liberties. He was sure that the House valid not expect him to follow the Noble Lord through hie statement ; his historical research sheered in dustry indeed, but it seemed to hint misapplied on this subject. It had no possible tronesion with &gremlin very simple question. The occupation of Spain, and on the question of Spanish America, his Right lion. Friend hal, four months before the American President's speech was delivered, declared his sentiments, and the determination of England with respect to those provinces ; but had this country any reasonable apprehension fur jealousy? He thought, on the contrary, that if the Right lion. Gentleman were the bit. terest enemy of France, he could not inflict a greater punishment on her thin by acquiescing in the occupation of Spain. The li. betties of England would never be affected by such an occupation. The Hon. Member moved an amendment to the following effect : "That this House, being satisfied of the firmness and sound policy which have guided Ids Majesty's Councils in respect to the late hostilities between France and Spain, and considering the se veral s enditions with which his 31aJesty's declaration of neutrality in that contest was qualified. secs not hing in the present circum stances that calls upon the House to express any apprehension of a permanent military occupation of the Spanish territory by France." Ale. AGOCII seconded the amendment. lie agreed with his Hoooutable Friend who spoke last, in the encomium that he had upon the Gallant (Mere ; but he resisted the motion of the g li tal l lord, because he thought sufficient evidence of its necessity had not been brought knitted. Ile agreed with the Honourable and Gallant Officer in his hatred of the Holy Alliance, and reprobated the unjustifiable system which sought to regulate the affairs of Spain by the introduction of foreign bayonets. The gallery was then ordered to be cleared for a division, amid cries of ' question." Mr. Secretary CANNING rose.—He was naturally anxious to seise an opportunity ot engaging the attention of the House, be fore they came to decision on the motion which had been that night submitted to them. Ile had imagined that when the present motion wail brought forward, after so much menace and fan much consideration, grounds would have heed laid for an effective prosecution of the conduct of Government. Unless satin strong case could have been made out—unless stone powerful reason. in support of the motion could be 'adduced—be supposed that the fate of one hapless victim, who, on a former might had beetaificed (we believe hr red to simile° of Loon 'Nugent) would have beighed with the obis Lord to desist from the pre sent motion. Honeys-, to his great isarprise, after it had been understood out of doors that this was to be the great struggle— that no division of exertion ' , timid be permitted to divert their at tention from the effect of this night's attach-41m the resources and strength of the flonottrable Gentlemen opposite were to be col lected and embodied for the present occasion ;—yet was the Noble Lord not only left unsupported, but the address which was pro posed as an amendment was about to be permitted (before he had risen) to pass silently in the affirmative. The present motion of the Noble Lord could not be looked at as a proposition simply by itself. It could not beotherwise regarded than as the last of &series of propositions on this subject—he begged pardon liar saying the last--he should have said, more properly, the third of a series oh pro positions, which had for their object to take back some of the re corded approbation of that House of the course which Ministers haul adopted, and to unit: the settled opinions of the ceuntry of their conduct. (Hear, hear.) When the great attack way made on the conduct of Government on thit subject last mssion, lie could not but recollect with what anticipations of triumph it had been accom. partied. So high were the hopes and expectations of the lion. Gen. tiemen opposite of victory, that they even anticipated, after the day of battle, a remnant of him and his lion. le riend would not be fount--a nd that even their ashes could not be collected—so signal was the defeat they expected to achieve. lint the result was in the recollection of the House--" r.rilar ergo ilk ca." " Hide, blushing glory ! hide Pultowa's day !" Never was there such an utter discomfiture, never a more complete prollis"ation of numbers. (Cheers from the 31inisterial benches, re-echoedmed he the Oppomitions Never, lie would repeat, was tb.no: recorded in the pniceedinga of Parliametit so great a rout, as com pared with the anticipations of victory winch were previously cherished by those who sustained defeat. (Applause.) After the war had terminated, on the conduct of which the discussion he alluded to arose, it might perhaps have been expected that some in sulated point would have beekeriected, with a view of showing that Government, in some Instance or other, had departed from that neutrality on which Government prolcuted to act. The pre sent motion was not of that character, but was one that embraced a proposition in therenerai policy of which every person must apse, namely, that it is the interest of this country thus the French should not remain in pernianent possession of Spain. When Got vernment took Wider its consideration the propriety of a MAMA! policy, it of course contemplated the probability, in the event of anythe success of France, that the French any should few mime time remain in occupation of Spain. The period of their coi n:muse should be regulated by circumstances ; but the real question for the House to consider, was whether, in the occupation Spun', the French anny acted in any other spirit than in that by which they professed their conduct to be re gulated, and whether their exertions and attention were turned to other purposes than those foreseen by this country, when she declared neutrality. (Hear, bear.) If the Noble Lord could die. cover that any other purpose was entertained or acted upon ; if, in I the conduct of the trench army, there was any e iclation of the cooditions on which this country professed a neutral policy ; or if he could dose that the French army occupied Spain so long as to affect injeerientsly the interests of this country, then he might with reason call upon Government to interfere with the King of France, and require the evacuation of Spain. The Noble lend mad, that he did not believe Ms viamersnese of Fames t yet lie called foe papers containing these assurances. 'lime Noble Lend did not know that Government were in INNSCIsital of any papers upon the subject. But he (31e. tr.) would take the argument either way, and romuld sup pose either that they did to did not exist. Suppose then the first case, that such papers are In existence, and that they contain an assurance from 'France of the immediate evacuation of her army from Spain. The production of such an assurance would not satisfy the Noble Lord, from the noted distrust he entotains of the good faith of France. I hi the other hand, 'emotive these papers not to be inexistence, because it had not been found necessary to ask for such reapers, die Noble Lord would again turn round mid lee dissatisfied because they were not called for. In either event there o-uld be little hope of pleasing or satisfying him. The next con sideration to which lie begged to call the attention of the House was, that of the conditions by which this country qualified the neutrality which she declared at the coneineecemeat of the war between France rind Spain. These conditions were three fold, first, that the King of Portugal should not be interfered with; perriondly, thin them should he no internee:nee with South America ; and thirdly, that there should be no permanent occupation of Spain by the French army. Of' these conditions not one hail been violated or infringed upon. (Hear, hear.) Suppose one of these conditions to have been fulfilled, and t h e twu others in an uncertain state as to their Antiwar ; still this coun try would have no right to complain, as circumstances might arise to create and justify the existing uncertainty. But not one only had been complied with, but two of the conditions had already been faithfully fulfilled—the protection of Portugal, and the non. Interference of Fouler with ;south America. Of these, therefore, weeould judge of the effect; and, in his opinion, their observance sanctioned the resumption dish time remaining condition would be complied with also. lf, therefore, France had bent found faithful to her engagententa so far ; and if paramotint reasons warranted the confirmed occupation of Spain by the French anew, what right. • he would ask, had we w raise agnmodless suspicion dthe fidelity en' her iatantions to ohersee the only redisiskeg esnallian on which we had agreed to nettosfity.anlby ulna of ihatunprovoked suspicion, call upon her for premelpse ifischusailans (Hear, hear.) It might have happened that two mods tip quietism might hare been proposed to him (Mr. Caring) relative to South America, and that he could not then speak ea satisfactorily with regard to the fulfilment of the condition, as regarded that part of the agreement, as he perhaps now could. But as far as that condition, and the other lie had adverted to bad been complied with, they should dis arm suspicion and inspire confidence; that the third madam) also would issue in a eatialactory conclusion. (Hear, hear.) Indeed there sere many reasons which should induce France to with draw her army. However, as that was a topic on which it may not be easy to impress conviction on the minds of some his hearers, he would only say that he would take the ins. potation of wkatever credulity or weakness the opinion may subject him to; but it was his sincere convie.ion that France was at this moment anxious to terminate the occupation. But if my advice were asked as to the propriety of the eithdrawal of her arm!, as an English Minister, and as an honest man, my advice would be, that she should not. In one sense he wished to see that evacuation terminate, if the peace and tranquillity of Spain could be secured by withdrawing it ; but in another sense, tiod forbid that that occupation should terminate. This latter wjsh he enter tained, because it was to French influence, backed by the French army, that whatever quiet now prevailed is Spain was mainly at tributable. 01 the original rise of tlie invasion in the first instance hesentertained the same opinions that he had before expressed. That was, however, now a . question of former years. Ile would not now renew the consideration of it; however, he would not shrink from the avowal he had before made that it was undertaken and entered upon on vicious principles. filuch as it was to be regretted that the extremity of war was resorted to; yet, as an honent man, it was a J sense of ustice he owed to the Bowe, and a debt of duty he owed the country, to declare that there was nut to be found in the history of any war, of any country, an instance in which the conquering army conferred so little tummy or prevented so much. (Cheers.) In looking to Spain, Cadiz prevented itself foremost to then at tention; it was a port connected extensively with British interests, and therefore occupied their primary . attention. His Honourable Friend (Sir 11 . %V.) had stated that it would require 25,tiffil men to garrison Cadiz effectively. Now there were not half that number of troops in Cadiz. This poet derivtal additional im from the fact of its having been the very root of all the imensions which first provoked Intestine, and afterwards fomented foreign war. llad*jos was not strongly garrisoned at present, and therefore it could create no great anxiety about the number of men in Cadiz, for without Radsjos being fortified and garrisoned, the most conaumate General of the age had asoired him that lie should not with any number of men, moldernot, himself secure in Cali: I Passing. however, from the subject of the distribution of the French army . in Spain, to the more important one of the necessity of their continuance there at present, it would be in the recollec- Ikon of the House that the French' army entered Spain for the protection of the priesthood and what was termed the fanatical party, and against the liberal,; whereas they were now principally engaged I in keeping down the excesses of these whom theyfirst went to succour and relieve. They changed the position they first took in the country, and became the friends and protectors of those in peace whom they had subdued in the field. IVhen the rage of intestine I discord had subsided, and when the prospect of tranquillity dawned ! upon that unfortunate country,pmel not until then, could the French army, with benefit to Spain herself, be withdrawn ; that day he hoped was not far distant, and then he (Mr. Canning) would be as happy to hear that the French army were withdrawn, as the Noble Lord could possibly be. As this question had been largely sub mitted to the House this evening , and it had not been thought proper to admit the difficulties web which Government had to con tend in carrying their plan of neutrality into effect, he begged to any that they were surrounded by great difficulties. He would wish to convey by a familiar Maturation the nature of those difficulties. Suppose two private families entered into an agreement to peewee a fflendly . intercourse, that they had resolved not to annoy each other, yet in spite of their friendly disposition suppose that some member of the family had thought proper to break down a fence, or to com mit some act which was a breach of the agreement entered into : the person by a member of whose family the injury had been done, should, in his opinion, go a little way to show that he at least was sincere in his part in forming the bond of amicable union. Now, with no disrespectful allusion to his Honourable Friend (Sir R. Wilson) for whom he entertained a sincere regard and esteem that nothing was likely to efface, yet he must say that his Honour. able Friend was in his own person a great impediment to the nr rangemenus of the agreement to observe a strict neutrality which this country had resolved upon. The Noble hard (Lord Nugent) opposite was an enormous breach of it (Much laughter.) The motives which might have actuated the Noble Lord and his Honourable Friend were no doubt good, and creditable to themselves; yet, the effect of their motives was a most serious inconvenience to the country and the fulfilment of the declared disposition of the country. He begged leave to read the opinion ' of an eminent jurist ( fair!!), whose authority was not inferior to that of a more modern writer, to whom his Honourable and Leaned Friend (Sir J. Mackintosh), on a former debate adverted, in quoting whom he read a passage which appeared, as his lion. anti Learned Friend read it, to be the opinion of the State' of Hol land as well as: of the writer, but which he (Mr. C.) bate:alto he the opinion of the writer only. The Right II on. Gentleman then read a passage from Vinci''s work to the effect " that Nature did not empower any rout to exercise his own judgment and discretion in matters which related to the community in which be lived. Neither did a man possess the right of carrying on war. Cases of private rcncontre might occur which the law could not reach, but the opi nior s of the legislative body, or of the Sovereign, or of both, ac cording to the ealabliahed governments of diffoent countries, should - bind the individual members of that government in obe dience to its injunctions," &c. How were such opinion* as these reconcilable with the conduct of his lion. Friend ? And what must be the edict created in the minds of a foreign country, to whom we had annnunced our determination to preserve a strict neutrality, when they heard that a distinguished individual of this country had gone to aid their enetny, in defiance of that neutrality, sanc tioned by the King, acclaimed by the Parliament, and approv ed by the whole country 2 And the appearance of his Hon. Friend was attended with the effects his presence was calculated to create; for by his going to ('urunna, such was the sensation excited by his presence there. that it drew down the war into that place Into which otherwise be (Mr. Canning) helicon! it would not have been car ried on and conducted. The effect was not unlike that produced by those who are subject to a complaint with which he was some times afflicted—they knew that when disease affected the head or any other part of the system, it was drawn to the feet by the ap plication of a blister. (A laugh.) Thus did his Honourable Friend draw down the calamities of war to (amnia. But, whilst he, with a prodigal expenditure of himself, thought it his duty to devote himself to this service, he (Mr. Can ning), as the Minister of this country, had also a duty to per form; and he felt that these exertions were in same degree a departure from that strict neutrality upon which we had de clared we would act ; and inasmuch as it was a departure from that neutrality, it was pro tauto a humilistion of us ; and pro Melo also disenabled us from taking that commanding post and station which we might otherwise assume. It entitled Femme to call upon us to account fur such conduct; and gentlemen who were so loud and anxious that we should adopt a high tone, must bear in mind that we cannot, with any degree of credit, blow extenuation' in one breath, and bluster in the next. ( Hear, hear.) Stich explanation was not called for by France; but he (Mr. Canning) felt it his duty to write to our Ant broader at Paris, directing him, in the strongest terms, to dir. claim on the part of tiovernment any participation in the views of that individual, and to exam their mat ked disapprobation at his conduct. He should here state that the despatelm and letters were sect to England by his Hon. Friend, under the protection of his cover. lle at first hesitated as to the propriety of sending them to their respective ammo(' destination, but a sense of private honour prevailed over official considerations, and they were all, he could assure his his lion Friend, fars-.nled minnow to their respective directions. %%last his lion. Friend espoused the cause at Cotrunna, there arose in another quarter another luminary, against whom, although lie (lid not undergo tin the part of Government a distinct and set:ante disclaimer, yet the par; he took on that occasion was too important to be passed over unnoticed. lie entered boldly into the cause, a ith as much military intention, although lie could not undertake to say, with as much military elEict as his lion. Friend. (.t laugh.) The history of this chivalrous adven ture deserved to be recorded. It happened one day, about the middle of last July, that the heavy Falmouth coach (much laughter) was observed to be laden with a more than usually heavy burden. Inside there was a lady of considerable size, nod a gentleman of similar dimensions, who it was said war about to transport his bodily powers to the support and as:Coerce of a foreign country. A heavy van necontpanied the coach ; it (imitable(' a box, which, although he could not undertake to say, that, like the Hying-box I of the conjurer, it possemed the power of loco-motion, yet within he was credibly informed there was carefully packed up a high. feathered helmet, s bids in beauty and elegance might rival ' the fabled helmet of the " Castle of Otranto. (filuch laughter.) With the helmet and the uniform of a Spanish General, did thin dietingeished peroinage set off to the succour of a bl. Aided town. I (Liontease laughing.) 'Fite Right Hon. Gentleman proceeded, amidst peals of laughter from both sides of the House, in a (rosin of' much lively merriment, to describe the progress of this ',doubted custijutor in the same cause as his Honourable Friend; and after regretting the inconvenience which they both oecasiooed the Government. he adverted to the apprehended interference of France with South America. Such a scheme was never, he believed, seriously entertained. It was visionary—utterly so. No design of interposing its any degree was at all lisrboured, and au undue interference with that coutitry was what he not only be. lieved would be unproductive of benefit to them, but was what he believed they never intended. Stnliont orantes prima transminere mat u re Trndebant que manusripte ulteriorir amore." England and France approximated in their views towards America tenor than any of the other European powers, and he even doubted the capacity of the Allies to ettliot such an object. They saw the folly of the undertaking and that it was not their interest to pursue it. (in the grounds which he had stated, lie thought he was entitled for himself, and for his Majesty's Ministers, tu look for the continuance of that confidence with which they had hitherto been honoured by the I louse and the country. He sought not to extort any expression unfairly from them, but if they had proceeded on principles calcu lated to promote the national interests, and preserve the national interests—if no just grounds of occultation hail been made against them, not even a prima facie case prefored —if on I • he impute tion were made lightly, and grounded only on vague suspicion, he called upon the justice of the House to continue them in their conlitlence. (('hem.) Sir R. WILSON explained. Sir J. 3LICKINTOSH did not expert a triumph ins Hoene constituted such as they long knew the present to be. Ile and the friends with whom he acted only hoped to enter then protest in what they had fonuerly done, against principles hostile to freedom anti subversive of national independence. The Right !immutable Secretary had told us that the French UOTCII3- meet were solicitous that their should evacuate Spai n; the 'eloquence of the Hight Hon. lien woe great, his *w h eat . was great ; but if he could persuade the H ouse that Francel really solicitous to render Spain independent, he would acr Alep b eh a miracle. He had stated that there was no ease made nut for th e motion of his Noble Friend ; he denied this i there were, be e kk e the three distinct cases mooted in the despatch of Sir Charles St t . the case of troops sent to South America by France, which b e tended was a very strong one. If it was admitted that when considerable body of Spanialt troop' were lent to South Ameries, they were to be looked upon as French troop s —lf at the mthiteet when Spain was threatening South America by her prnclainseb ee the presence of the French army in Spain was calculated l e g i;; effect to these pnwlaniations, then was the motion of his Netti e Friend well f unded. The Right Hon. Secretary, in itimt of the amendment, had said that the motion might excite jea lous y jj, the French Government if it were acceded to. France roust know th at this country always looked with jealousy to the occupation of Spain by her. The Right lion. Gentleman had referred to the paper, as vie table ; he did not know what they were; they might contain • direct refusal to evacuate the Spanish territory ; they .night excite suspicion with respect to France; they might tend to allay that s u e., ;noon. He would contend that no part of th e s p eec h o f h i s Noble 'Mend had the %lightest tendency of • hostile character. The only I objection that had been urged against the motion was, that it b ore the appearance of hostility to the Government, and that was th e answergiven toevery great question emanating fro m t h at s id eafthe I House. In his opinion the voice of that House was not merely roe, lined to the impeachment or to the removal of 3linisters, but k say the great Council of State to advise the King on the conduct of the Executive Gove rn ment; at least such was constitutioaal view which he took of its power sad authority. The cries of •' Question" here became very load and geneval, and laird J. RUSSELL rose to reply, which he did ver y b r i e fly, H e reprobated the practice that had of late become very prevalent with his Majesty's Government of moving asnandments, day after day, the tendency of which ammendments was, to pledge the Hoene sf Commons to the approval of the measures of that (imminent. With respect to the maceration, of the Right Hon. the Secretary or State for Foreign Affairs, he dated J. Russell) would state, that in the tone and manner in which he had made those remarks, he had sought a specirs of approbation quite unworthy of him. After a few more observations, the Noble Lord stated that he would not divide the House. The amendment was then put and curial without a division. NEW COURTS OF JUSTICE. Mr. RANKS moved, that a Committee should be appointed to examine the accounts of the Courts of Justice now building is Palace-yerd, end report their observations to the House. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER requested that his Honouroble Friend would postpone his motion to some other dap. He could not state that he had env valid grounds of oppo. sham to it, as he was not furnished with . sulficient information so the subject; he had not prepared himself for the dimusias of the question this evening, es he had not supposed that there would have been an opportunity of bringing it forward ; he i therefore hoped that he would withdraw it for the present. and re. new it some day nest week. ' Mr. BANKS was anxious that the subject should be brought forward as early as possible, as he considered that the building now going forward were in the extreme of bed taste. The pipers relative to them were only presented yesterday, and he had instant ly given notice of this motion.
