But when he considered that these boasts were made - to inditee:the - country to plungedeepee into rind-. ous Wars, When he saw thein conductal under the Same MiniSters, and that denominatedisuccess which he tailed 'defeat (for never till that night did he know that it was not the intention of Go vernment to drive the French out of Spainorhere we were expending eleven millicais a year, or a rail-, tion a month, for no other purpose but to raise the siege of Cadiz), it was inaposible. for him to refriin froln expressing bis opinion. , But what rested mist on his mind was', thataifeerall the fa yourable circumstances. `,:hat had occurredin Spain ; after the enemy was Qrigaged, - as they were told, l ' . in an exhausting axial ruinous contest in Russia— after all, this; exhaustion, and af:er , the' brilliant-. victory of Salaraanca, such were his efforts, and , such the we&aneSs of OM' Ruler;, or such - the disabilities nt the country, that ; we could not fol low up even victory till this exhausted enemy gathered strength to (Nile ns - back - again - . ' 'The captu:e of two fortresses was not enough to make , him think so. favourably ol' the campaign as the, Noble ' Lord had chine: ' The Noble .Lord too had omitted to inentlon the Most important feature in lin it, the" failure' before Bargos. ' if they, as be. was hielined,to .t 10; took . this, repri2sentairiiis of. MiniSters as correct, and believed that . -Lord-. Wel lington had done all that was possible. ; why . then they came' to this conelusiOn; either that he'll:id. not the means requisite, or that . wth these means he completely failed to _accomplish his object. There must, therefore, be blame and defects someWbere, 'Whicli,. deserved - - inotitrY thatlhey might discover how-it happpeued, that with •all the means at their disposal ; . with the favourable ju;:cuire of at ~and, with a splen did victory, they - had "f'a'iled to reap tyhe fruits .. - of it, and':the results were - more.. disastrous than .tereat, under the. Ministers of . the enemy. This view, brought them to the short proposition, either that Lord Wellington' was not entitled to praise, 'or Ministers - were liable to . blame. He (AAA: licit .gointo the Schemes of deldsion: whir,h had .c fisted for the- last,l9..years, 16 of them un dev, his,own 'observation, and 'to cvb icli the Noble Liird's speech formed - a' sequel----'paaegyrieS' to en gagc them farther in exPenee and war, He was 'however unwilling to dissent 'front the rote of this' night, •particularly as other opportunities would be afforded for canvassing the campaign ; yet he thought-.that inquiry would be better before they: wereealled on toconic to such vote .. . The Noble Lord had. also travelled in Russia, and found much consolation in-the campaiicn fought in that corm, try,. and his trimaph seemed tO.- be 'participated by others. For his part be could see' or) cause for triumph in destruction and burning of 30,000 people, nor any reason for exultation because the • enemy was defeated in his plan-of obtaining .win ter quarters' in idoscow. He could not agree in speaking of the magnanimity of Alexander, for . sacrificing his, subjects, whom he, ought to pro tect, and destroying,his capital. Would anyone _say, that if the Emperor' of France extricated his army, arid renewed the contest in the Spring, that it Was poSsible for Russia to continue ber" - resist 7 ance ? Could they afford also to barn Peters- . burgh ?ff Kutauso -acknowledged that he did not follow p up the- battle of Borodino, lest it alight cause the risk of Moscow to the flames. L•-yet Mos cow was consumed.'' The Noble Lord and Others, might view these acts as magnanimous if they pleased, bale could not so smother the feelings, of humanity as to consider the Emperor Alexander` entitled to that epithet fiif burning and destroying his country . to save himself, without sharing - in the dangers, while the French Emperor.encoan-, teredwith his aviny all the peril and fatigues of the war. In his view.of the question, all our ef forts had completely failed; and as for ,the cOn qaest of the moi-iil feelings of the Spaniards, spoken of by the Noble Lord, was it to befound, in the support we bad' given the Inquisition, or our treating as traitors persons who bad attached themselves to the new GOVerninent ? This last act, of - which we had been guilty,.was' unlust arid unjustifiable.. The-Spaniards had been deserted by their old 6overrunent; anti every . man had as good a right,rO:side the One 'way - as the other, in the Consequent struggle for 'power.
