When be said' strict tientrarty, be meant • neutrality which consisted in a complere'abstinence, nut only from absolute warfare, but from the giving of any kind of assistance to either oue ride or the other. The very • meaning of the word neutrality" implied, .that they were to withhold succour from both par. ties. This was the doctrine laid down by all the authorities on the subject—end he particularly re ferred to a very eminent writer, Vette!, who had expressly stated his opinion on this point. He said " lu order to view this question properly, one must distinguish whit a nation ought to du, if it pretend ed to be perfectly argue! whilst a war is carrying on betweCu an ally sod souse tither state.

In the next place, it was fully admitted that the Government of this country possessed that right. which was essential to its safety soul sovereignty. Indeed he thought some surprise had been expressed when thin right woe. called into questi ••••• or insole matter of dispute—hut the doubt was, its fact, hang upon other circumstances. It had been said that all Governments, and, of course, our own, had admitted, in some instances, those individual iolerpositions—that there were several circumstances which on the present occasion, ought to have duce" the British Government to allow their sub. jects to enlist the South Ainericans-.-and that; in fact, individuals had embarked in it, in anise quence of the Government not having prohibited it befote. Now, it should be recollected th at procla mations had been issued op the subject-7-mnd that persons had proffeeed. their assistance in utter viola tion and contempt of those instruments which for mally warned them against such a proceedir.g.— With respect to the other point; he 'would again say, that-tbe considerations were such as could wit be decided on by isidividusla, but-must be judged of by the Snot*, which alone possessed the proper facilities fur judging whether individual iuterposi lion should or : 14001d not be admitted. Many an cient insiances, he knew, could be adduced, where permission to act as belligerents was given to in- . dividnals, without impugning the neutrality of the . States to which they belonged. Of these instances, he must observe, that they were most of them of a those times when Geutins, and the other mines' writers on , had elucidated the subject.— law was very little understood. acted on. They all knew that -. held every Stale that' elterl4y-.4si that the were shoat s the can=ef . . . r, ...wiry. were secoguised and .they were not rowed by pucka principle a. . which he had alluded to. lu the time of Elizabeth, and up to a later period (awl • these were the times which Gentlemen who took a different view of the question had selected), it was • well-known fact. that all Christendom was divided into two rat parties—the Protestants and the Catholics. lit the war betweea Hothead and Spain. the principle acted ou was this. that the subjects of . Protestant countries supported the one party. and the subjects of Catholic States. the other. By a sort of tacit agreement, the Protestants made com mon cause with Protestants—the Catholics with Catholics but this created no difference between the States to which the parties respectively belong ed. In the war between the French and English, at • later period, the Irish Catholics were allow ed to serve in the French army. while the recusants who fled. in consequence of the Re vocation of the Edict of Nantes, assisted the Eng lish. With respect to them • sort of agreement was entered into, that they should not be considered as subject* of the States against which they bore arms, alehough, in fact, they were so. Itt the case of the Swiss, it wet well known that their Govern ,tuentleitt out troop* for the military service of *cher nations, without hazarding any imputation of breach of neutrality. But these were isolated roses, sod did :tut warriett such • Resieent principle OS Was now sought to be established. The Hon. led Learned Gentleman then adverted to the emu lsive* surd at the opposite side, that the Treaty was opposed to the - commercial interests of Great Britain. •••Admitting Ate fact.'which he, however,' did not admit, he contended, that the interests of the country should not stand in the way of Treaties, at of the honour of the tiation,,whieltyeatt &edged to their performance; neither should the supposed weakness of Spain have any other effect upon our councils. than to induce a greuter degree of respect and delicacy in the performance of our engage. meats. After some other observations, which were ailet audible in the gallery. the Hon. and Learned Grittlernan sat down amid cheers from the Miens- band bide. Mr. SC MATT P'‘lri. if the measure now under contemplation were, whether of no this country was to go to it'll., he would understand the argil. meat of the Right lloti. and Learned Member (Sir Wm. Scott). Froth what the Learned Iklemher had said, it would almost follow, that it was sub. milted to Parliament to- take wader einisidevut 1111 l this question, whether we Mete now to give assist. mire to one of Inc Belligerent Powers, to the pre. justice of the others : whether that he the character of the present measure, he would net presume to my; if that were the case, then he would say that the argument of the Learned Gentleman was altogether unnecessary. He did nut think that the lion. and loomed Geode's'su had collie to his conclusions will the same felicity that be had been accustomed tore. Ile quoted the authority of Vatid : it was &insists that of all the writers on the law of nations, Visite, was the loosest. If lw (Mr. Seorlegt) was Rut mistaken, Hist writer held—that what was a breach of sestrolity w one Goverogseut night sot be a breach of neutrality in another.
