Upon the motion of Ow Bad of Ltexaeuot., that this dill be read a third time, Viscoulit Sunnier,' said, having observed the Bill now upon their Lordships }able, the subject was of such weighty iasporesom to she public in terest, that he could not give a silent vote open the ammonia. In cansidering thia question, he was me turally led to the thee w h en the great contest is which we were engaged had its commencement.— At that period there was an uncommon 'blare or loyalty, seal, awl patriotitm, in ell descriptions of people throughout the country ; and he hail not the smallest doubt but the same spirit exi,ted in the pre.ent day. Before that time, great sumo had beets raised, and considerable additions laid been made to the national ileht ; this system was, duriag the time of his being officially employed, thought to be increasing to au extent inpirsous to the (inure idteretta of the kingdom. It was, there fore, thought inure expedient to raise the supplies, by the assistance of thy sinking fund, within the year, through the means of taxes, which should remain only as war taxes. The Noble Viscount entered into au eloquent and elaborate discussion of the nature and merits of that measure or finance, compared with that before the House. The for mer was a system recognised in principle, and meted upou by his succmaior (Mr. Pitt.) and .still carried into greater elrect by. his Noble fripask, (Lord Grenville.) when he .took tier dirretiemo et His 11.ijesty's Councils. lie next ' , heard Batier me blare of finance, sit the present 41dr, foam! tape. the iditiciple of that which immediately pre., e• _. ...., . .. • ~. ..•.., fir?' -..

The ityatent so much spoken of, and reconnuemle tl, by the Noble Viscount, was uot en titled to the praise winch .t lust WAY conciMed to it. wieliein. It had a tendency to increase the es p.:lol4o6e of the nation, and was in some measure infri..e.ment of the ainkilie fund. The lkith of goverine,,.t with public creditor' was thereby for feited.

Lord Gaits et FAY. rose, anti spoke at great length nu the sufijrct now teeter consideration. He should not have thought it material to rise and deliver bill sentiments, had net the Noble Secretary made a few observations on the able and perspicuous speri.h of his Noble Friend (Lord Sidmouth). Had het heard nothing from that quarter, he would merely have riven 11114 expressed his hearty assent to all whi h was uttered by the Noble Viscount. Indeed, inch was the habitual state of the Howie of Lards. thut he could not help benne surprised thalami:ft a question, of re great importance t, the people'a internas, should be discussed, when lie looked at the empty beadier before him. But he did out mean to intimate any remissness or Winne no the conduct of the Masse. No; it was the King's Ministers who tried to degrade the, House of Lords, and brought the Bill now under dile:meson up to that House in June, in the latter end of the seteion, when they knew no discussion could take place, but before a thin and :Maoist un attended assembly. It was for them to look ooly, and it appeared useless for him to express his seetenents on this great and important occa sion, and it was almost as absurd as it was useless. Ile was addressing himself to the bare Benches. !low deferent was the conduct pursued, when the financial systi m, contrasted with the ism. sent, was brought into Parhament ! The time chosen was the latter end of March, when a full discusaiou could be held on the measure. Ile and his colleaoes acted like men conscious of inte grity in their conduct ; but the King's Ministers, mu the isitroductiou of the present Bill. sought the op ortunity to hare it read m i c e , twic e , an d th rt e t i mes. p It appeared they would not have opcneil their months nu the subject, had it slot been agitated by the Noble Visemint. Ills Lordship very ably point ed out the difference between the two fiaancial my*. time, and slieweil the great preference of the fer nier our over that of the premoit Ministers. War might have been curried ois to au indellitite extent by a system which wimild never have been increased. 'Wherein now taxes wither two piers, although he would meet atria the King's Alieiiters 064 the 'subject. and she* that slim leerier.* °right to lhive taken place. He did not perceive with *lint eyes attune men saw, nor with what thoughts they turned their attention to things of this magnitude. The public also seemed to hive sin slut sense albeit( snowiest ; and was it not remarkable such a measure au the pro sent should proceed without public ? They would lie better emplayell in directiuutheir attention 'fluffier, so rineortant, than 01 mere tidies about expenditere in detail. He reprehended the conduct of the Kong's Ministers thronehmit ; it was detestable in Ireland, it bas detestehle in America, it was eto t ooll in .Sp a i re aw l i t was now ruillotis in both Spain and Portugal. Ile mom:lined the empty opinion he did before, respecting the arduous contest in which we were engaged ; it was inure and more to be con demned the longer it was iwriisted iu. No Mill could be more glad than I self fur the restoration of Europe., but the pro-meet was Mercies. Ilm news of victory was billowed by that of defeat, and the triumphant enemy was with 011 the Gore of France ut a diatom part of Europe, on the beaks of •tbe Menthe.

Besides, las considered the military talents of the Noble Marquis as rather umbiguoits, front the only speech I ke had made this Session. in snottier place, she et ' Jle advised the passing of troops over the ice to the Island of Zealand. It might be more advisable Itirsend the Noble Marquis to Austria, where there was no likelihood of his military coun sels being attended to by that consunnuate Ge neral, the Archduke Charles, and Lord William Dentine+, to Spain, where he might be useful in a double capacity. Upton the whole, he rctommend ed to Ministers, above all things, to Isuiliend the re sources of the country. it was rut a dislike lo the Government, but the weight of the taxes, that produced discontent in the country ; it arts the only effectual engine reiorted to for the purpose of raising or keeping alive the spirit of disaffection. u reform under that ` head, whatever other subjects utialit be pursued, e was persuaded en good could result from their labours. Mr. CORWett felt himself bound to offer his opinion upon the present necesion. IVe all to-day felt u hope dawn upon us, which it would have beets temerity, a few days ago, to ve ithlulged in ; he heartily wished Nlioisters wou ld now ask foe six millions rather th::n thief ; and ke t spre.sesi k•pe that they would before this Perliaoucia sepa rated. come to apply for the increase. IVe were bound to make common cause with Austria, and we should rather contribute money than men, be cause Spans and Portugal were only to be con quered in Austria ; he would say, therefore, to lanisters, take all that call possibly be required, taking only the responsibility of its application along with it. Ile considered it fortunate, that the event so airaiously hoped to be true had oc curred barna the Padietnetithad teparuted, as the neeessory steps might sine be taken to enable Mi onstere to adopt a bottler policy than past events might retail to justify. Ir, therefore, the news Wndt! prove to be true, he hoped MiSsisters would resolve to come to the Howie to wk for a larger vote of credit then that now 'culled for. • Lord Cssranacsen declined following the Ceoleral into details of the catnpsigns of Spain and Portugal. which had been so, often dis cussed thiriug the present Session ; as to the pre sent ceinpaigii,. the Howie would feel it would tee a breach of duty its Ministers to enter into any particulars at the present time. lie should only content 1 • *elf with arying, we should neither be too much elevuted nor depreoweil by any occurren ces.
