This being the day appointed for the meeting of Parliament, the Lord Archbishop of CAN TERBURY, the LORD HIGII CHANCELLOR, the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, the Earl of WESTMOR. LAND, and the Earl of HARROWBY, took their seats on the Woolsack, as Commissioners under the Great Seal for opening the Session. • THE KING'S SPEECH. The Commons having as usual attended at the Bar, The LORD CHANCELLOR, on behalf of the Commis sioners, then read his Majesty's most gracious Speech, a cor rect outline of which we gave in the tirst impression of Tit E SUN of yesterday ; and, in a Second Edition, we inserted the Speech verbatim, which we reprint this day for the informa tion of all our Readers. It is as folloys: " My Lords and Gontlenien, " We are commanded by his MascaTY to inform You, that since be last met you in Parliament, Ills MAJEsTy's Efforts have been unremittingly exerted to preserve the Peace of Europe. " Faithful to the principles which His MAJESTY he, pro mulgated to the world as constituting the rule of his conduct, HIS MAJESTY declined being party to any proceedings at Verona which could be deemed an interference' in the Inter nal Concerns of Spain on the part of Foreign Powers. And HIS MAJESTY has since used, and continues to use, His most anxious endeavours and good offices to allay the irrita tion u;ahappily subsisting betwsen" the French and Spanish Governments; and to avert, if possible, the calamity of War between France and Spain. " in the East of Europe his MAJESTY flatters himself that Peace will be preserved, and hit MAJESTY continues to receive from his Allies, and generally from other Powers, assurances of their unalterable disposition to cultivate with his MAJESTY those friendly relations which it is equally his MA. JEST r's object on his part to maintain. " We are further commanded to apprise you, that discus. sions having long been pending with the Court of Madrid, respecting depredations committed on the Commerce of HIS MAJESTY'S Subjects in the West Indian Seas, and other Grievances of which HIS MAJESTY had been under the necessity of complaining, those Discussions have terminated in an Admission by the Spanish Government of the Justice of HIS MAJESTY'S Complaint, and in an Engagement for satis factory Reparation. " We are commanded to assure you, that his MAJESTY has not been unmindful of the Addresses presented to him by the two Houses of Parliament, with respect to the Foreign Slave Trade. " Propositiopefor the more effectual suppression of that evil were brought forward by His AlnizsTY's Plenipoten tiary in the conferences at Verona, and there have been added to the treaties upon this sntject, already concluded between His MAJESTY and the Governments of %min and, the Netherlards, rirtieLts which will extend the operation of those Treaties, and greatly acilitate their execution. " Gentlemen of the house of Common:, " HIS MAJESTY has directed the 'Estimates of the current year to be laid before you. They have beet formed with every attention to economy. The total expenditure will be found to bo materially below that of last year. " The diminution of charge, combined with the Progres sive improvement of the Revenue, has produced a surplus exceeding his MAJESTY'S expectation. }Ls MAJESTY trusts, therefore ; that you will be able, after providing for the Services of the year, and without affecting Public Credit, to make a farther considerable Reduction in the Burthens of People. " 414 Lords-and Gentlemen, "IliS MAJESTY has commanded us to state to you, that the manifestations of Loyalty and Attachment to his Person and Government, which His MAJESTY received in his late Visit to Scotland, have made the deepest impression upon his Heart. " The Provision which you made in the Last Session of Par liament for the Relief of the Distresses in considerable Districts in Ireland, has been productive of the happiest effects, and his MAJESTY recommends to your con-ideration such measures of internal Regulation, as may be calculated to promote and se cure the tranquillity of that Country, and to improve the habits and condition of the People. ". Deeply as His MAJESTY regrets the continued depres sion of the Agricultural Interest, the satisfaction with which His MAJESTY contemplates the increasingactivity which per vades the manufacturing districts, and the flourishing condition of our Commerce, in most of its principal branches, is greatly enhanced by the confident persuasion that the progressive pro. sperity of so many of the interests of the Country cannot fail to contribute to the gradual improvement of that great interest, which is the most important of them all." At the conclusion the Cm:lmola withdrew, and the Loan CHANCELLOR adjourned the House during . pleasure. The Noble a nd L earne d Lord entered again at five o'clock. The Earl of TANKERVILLE took the oaths and his seat. The Earl of LIVERPOOL moved the first reading of the Select Vestries Bill, as usual at the commencement of Puha merit—The Bill was read the first time. MARRIAGE ACT. Lord ELLENBOROUG II gave notice that he should move to-morrow to amend the Act for preventing Clandestine Mar riages. THE ADDRESS. The LORD CHANCELLOR again read the Speech from the Throne to the House. It was Itho read by the Clerk, at the Table. Earl MORLEY rose to move the Address. Ile observed, that their Lordships, during many years, upon solemn occa. *dons, had been in the habit of hearm words from the Throne, but on few occasions had the Sovereign of these Realms pre sented to the Peers and Commons of Parliament a Speech more pregnant with topics, bearing on the interests of man. kind. It vies a reflection dear to the hearts of Englishmen that his Majesty had been pleased. to allbrd a n opportunity of considering subjects of 'so much import-ince, and their Lord ships, no doubt, felt a desire to address the Throne, and to thank him for his gracious communication. It would, as a matter ofeourse, be his duty to express the ground on which the several paragraphs of the Speech were intitled to favourable attention. The concussion by which Europe had been agitated during, the last ten years, and the struggles under which she had laboured, were doubtless deeply rooted in the recollection of their Lordships. Although it might be true that difference of opinion existed in that House, and out of the Ilptise, on the subject of territorial possession, yet the Gov ern m en t bad en tertained but one opinion on the question of general paci6ca. tion, and whenever that question was agitated they had inva riably opposed every . innovation that might tend to disturb the p ac ifi c system. Th or Lordsbips would therefore hear, with sentiments of deep regret, that the State of affairs had reqitited Ike Goverment to persist in that line of policy. On thc, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1823. ' thin of the right to interfere in the Constitution of Spain, his Majesty's Ministers had also been firm. To the principles which supported the Constitution of Spain, the Government of the Catholic King had been strenuously opposed ever since his restoration to the Throne. It was not necessary to call the at tention of the House to democratic clubs at Madrid, and the general feeling of Spain. It was eufficiert to advert to ire question of right which one n at i on m i g h t c l a i m to interpose en the affairs of others. The Noble Earl did not undertake to solve and expound that ditlicult , question, but to pOint out the principles on which his Majesty s Government had acted. A document which issued on the 19th Jan. 1821, was transmitted to all foreign Ministers., In that document the Government disclaimed the right of interfereOce in the case of neutrals and Spain. Whether the King of France was right or not io re sorting to the principle of interference in the affairs of Sprain, or whether he had taken a correct view of his own affairs in asserting that right at Verona, were points for farther in quiry. It was sufficient for the Government of this country, that at Verona his Most Christian Majesty did Make such' a claim, and was supported by three great Sovereigns. 'Hie Majesty's Ministers did not only discourage that ~asacrtion of right on the part . of France, .'but opposed it. • They fahNdiat had been the avowed tiNset of the alliareet, namely, the maintenance of tranquillite. After the principles of the French Governmsnt had transpired at . Verona, no exertionwas omitted to impress on the French t Government a sense of the mischief and danger they might Introduc.e to the Centinent by such a system. The experience of 1814 proved that no foreign army could enter Spain without injury. It was not, however, any idea of peril which occasional Government to withhold from the views of France. It was ths knowledge that the peace of Europe ought to be preserved. It reated . HT the recollection of the Lords, that during the anarchy of 1795, the Government of this country did net interfere :I the affeira of. France. It had been asserted they did, but malt was not the tact. The assertion hail always been contradicted. The object of the Government had been to eirevent the Mischief which , must occur in all Suites, it they were not allowed to settl e their own internal affairs which excites . ..ely belong to them selves. On that principle Government acted tt Verona, and were still acting at Paris. Their conduct in tlea respect caUed for the cenetitience of their Lordships. If Frame was to coin. mence the war, Europe and postenty should kiow it was on their own responsibility. Our exertions to prevent war were still employed, and they were net forbidden from maintaining a hope that humanity and justice might yet su ccee d. I t was impossible the House should not entertain approbation on the remonstrance to the Cortes of Spain on the subject of British ships. During many years shipe had been fitted out under Spanish flags, which did great injury to tae British trade. The time had come for compensation from Suain, and the measure must meet with the approbation of PArganient. This step on the part of. his Majesty's Government had, however, no reference to the aflitire: of Spain. It arose• oat of the case of the ship Collingwood, and the Government were ab solved from . any refieetion upon their views and 'consist ency. No efforts had been spared to secure pacification among the unfortunate Greeks. It was indeed impossible for any Christian country to be insensible to the state of the Greeks. Remonstrances had been sent to the Ottoman Porte in order to secure a line of conduct more consistent wilts the duties of humanity. At the same time, however, Enriand might feel for the Greeks, the most civilized friend of hum nity would not say this country ought to engage in a war to correct the constitution of Turkey. The House would no doubt hear with satisfaction that part of his Majesty's Speech, which intettned the House that the Parliamentary grants of the last Se lion lied produced the best effect. It was a pleasing consideration that British feeling had been warmly shewn to Ireletul. It would draw still closer the bonds which united the two Countries...—, They might hail with joy Lite day on which theetuspicious re commendation of his Mnjesty was heard in Ireland. The Peers would all co-operate in the beneficent object of die Sovereign. Let the friends of Ireland be disposed to re turn to their estates. and cultivate a spirit which could not fail ,to make the people prosper. His Majesty's de sire for the welfare of In:lend, would, no doubt be theineans of doing fermething' t o reinedy the evils of 'that unhappy country. The Noble Lord had nothing to say with respect to Agricultural Distress. After all the schemes which had 1 beenaesorted to, there was nothing effectual which could be done to afford relief. His Majesty's Speech did not lead - to an expectation that any relief could be given to the agriculturist.— He did not say relief was impracticable. The happy practice of the Constitution was often to find a remedy for new instances of distress. The great difficulties the agriculturists had to en hunter were certainly _evils, hut they could not be compared to the aunihilation ortell property which was found in foreign nations. It was, however, the dutyeef any Member of Parlia inent to bring forward a measure which might be likely to prove. remedial, but in case no useful measure could be prodopel. it would be unnecessary to take up the tithe of Parliament. The Noble Earl then- drew the recollection of die Nutlet , to his Majesty's late visit to Scotland, where he had the henna of all his subjects. Not only in Scotland but in every part at' the kingdom, there had been the greatest demonstrations of loyal feeling. This might he hailed as an omen of future union .and prosperity. In proreeding to that part of the speech which mentioned the Slave Trade, his. Lordelup amid it was 33 years since the sable inhabitants of Africa heard the name of 1111- berforce. The Sovereigns of different countries, awakened by the efforts of that great friend to humanity, had taken steps on that subject, but some had been indifferent. The Govern ment, engaged at the' Congress of Verona, might have passed over the Slave Trade =lda other weighty concerns, but the cause of humanity had not suffered in their hands. They pro cured the signing of the Act, by which ships trading in slaves were declared pirates. They had done more ter the abolition of thekilave Trade than all the Governments of Europe. The Noble Lord alluded to the reduction of taxes, and mentioned the advantages likely soon to arise from inure extended trade. The time was not far distant when lucrative commerce would be =tied on with South America. lie was persuaded that inauspicious appearances would }give way to splendid prosperity and happiness arising out of the Constitution. Nis Lordship concluded by mcivitig, " That an humble Address be pre sented to his Majesty, to return thanks for his must graziotie Speech," &e. Lord :MA Vt) rose to second the Address. After the able speech of' the Noble Earl it" was not necessary to address the Housaat length. His Lordship spoke in a low tone, nod we could only collect that he supported the teSpice of the Speech. Lord STANHOPE said, he was concerned to find the Ad dress nothing more titan a servile copy of the Speech. If any variation from the uniformity of addresses was ever to otters • it should be at a time when the distress of the country threatened danger and deetruction. Nothing uppeareel In the Speech to afford one ray of hope to the distressed Agriculterists. The Noble Earl entered into a statement of the causes which led to the distress of the fanning as well tearnanufacturing interest.— The principal hardship was want of employment. When the people awned bread and employment the Parliament gave them a stone in the form of the Six Acts. Mints to restore the currency to a proper state lead been made. All endeavours up to that time had only diminished the !pewit)* and increased the value of the currency. • Jews antheobbers were the only people in a state of prosperity. Ile contended that if the pre seat system were persevered in, a 'reduction of the Dividend would become necessary. He wished that ;ho whole question could be argued between two individuals hefore his Noble Friend on the Woolsack, whom be respected as the wisest of men in the country, and as an individual whole virtues made him an ornament, not only to the Howie, but to the age in which he lived. If the present currency were not changed, the reduction of taxation must be carried to a very considerable amount, or else they would reduce themselves. The period was not perhaps far distant when the Noble Earl ( Liverpool) would be obliged to provide warehouses and magazines to Mee up corn and the implements of husbandry, for which the pro plc would no long e r h ave an y use . Such a State wo u ld l ea d to measureiti m conferredt nut n . creased - t h a general bankruptcy, and h e w ished to en the eyes of th e country to the abyss which w as gaping at its feet. T o pre vent the approaching catestrophe, e taxes must eith er b e re ' tuc to eel fortythpoz amount. rcent. The exi4dhg r medium one 'party an advantage to which it was not entitled, and imposed on the other a burden which it had no right to beer.--It operated in some cases ae a direct confisca tion of property, an d not even tinder litionaparte self could a law of such systematic • spoliation have been found. stgainst the continuance of such eti 113 , which must lead to the general destruction of property, that House had a Coustitutional-remody in its own liming- Let us refnete all supplies to the Crown until theee grievances, whi c h were become' intolerable, had been eficenutily vedreased,-- Though strongly opposed to that monstrous- Project of Univer sal Suffrage, which would- give the whole weight to numbers, he Iva* a Mend to moderate ParliatrieniarY Refoem. He ap_ pealed to their Lordships whether die argument, in favour of Parliamentary Reform bad not become unanswerable, and might dot become irresistible ? If a hurricane should arise to shake the empire to he , foundations, P irliamentary Reform would come too late to cute the evil. Hie only object was .to secure public tranquillity, and to promote public prosperity._ To proceed in the present course wbt.ld only serve to give the proprietors a kind of relief, for which thefdid not wish, the total annihilation of the National Debt. 'Mess their Lord ships were prepared to carry distress, despair, and dtiaffection to ail ti4claeees of the people—unless they were willing to re. sign the estates of their ancestors—unless they were resolved to become nothlog. more than an assembly of nobled and titled paupers, they would supnort the amendment to the Address which it was his intention to propcee. However certain Lords might think unanimity desirable on. the preshit occasion, he was determined to take the sense of the HOuse,eantl, ie.such a MSC shpuld not be ashamed torenew thetelebrated minority of one. He then moved, that jasteral of the part of the Address concerning Agriculture, words to the Wowing effect be in serted:— "Ph* the llouse viewed with deepest regret and anxiety the severe and unexampled distress afflicting the coun tryeand would immediately proceed to examine, Its nature and causes for the purpose of affording relief." The A eientimeut havj.:Ofe Plod* The Marquis of LANnDOWN trusted that it would not be imputed to want of respect for his Noble Friend if lie should not go into the topics which he had introduced, at the saint length that he liatt done. Having brolght his mind to the con clusion, that after the speech which they had heard, it was de. sirable that their Lordships should adopt the proposed Address unamended, he should forbear to follow his Noble Friend through the considerations into which he bad Lunched, and which would become, at a future period, a lit and important object for discuseion in the House. Ile believed that there was not one of their Lordships, or any man accustomed to follow public transactheas e who did • not feel that a crisis lied arisen out of the late events on the Continent that came home to the interests of every country in Europe, and almost of every indi vidual within them. lie wished that some parts of the speech which they had heard had been couched in somewhat stronger terms, and that, both in the Speech and the Address, a more explicit declaratioo should have been found of the sense enter. mined by this country of the principle; which had unfortunately made dick way into the Councils of the great Powers of Hu rope, and which, if acted upon, could not fail to throw Europe into confusion, and either to destroy every vestige of indepen dence, or to mist in its defence the most violent passious of men. lie thought it a vain and useless attempt which his Majesty's Ministers seemed disposed to make to conceal the sense which the House and the country entertained of that system. Much utility would be found in the expression of that sense : for, if there was any chance of averting the impending calm-hide*, it lay in the clear and explicit proclamation of e the sentiments which die Ilouie and the country cherished with respect to the independence of nations. It must, no doubt, be mortifying to the King and to his Ministers, to find dint those countries and governments which we were so often told we had been the means of saving--nay, that very dynasty which we had restored, and the price of whose restoration we were still paying, as it made a portion of that Weakness which compelled us to hesitate whether we should take the part which became us—it 'moo be mortifying to every individual to find that those Powers, notwithstanding the counsels which had no doubt been duly enforced, totally unmindful of the exertions of this country in their behalf, of the debt of gratitude which they owed her, and of the part witidi she ought to take, were preparing to rush into a system which she denounced as dan gerous, and as calculated to destroy the peace of 'Europe. He should not attempt to argue the unprincipled character of that intention to invade the independence of a whole nation, mani fested by* the Allied Powers in various Declarations, and by his Most Christian Majesty in his Speech to his Chambers, because till he found in that House or in the othera statesman, or a man pretending to be one, so base as to entertain „Old avow any concurrence in such a system—until he heard of the existence of such an individual, he should think he stood on that ground without an opponent. He should he guilty of Justice towards . the Noble Earl who had moved the Address, if lie said there was any thing to be found in his speech like approbation of the moat iniquitous system now attempted to be acted upon, it' not for the first time, at least to a greater extent than at any other period of the history of the world. And he was certain, that if his Noble Friend had not felt him. self in some manner bound by the task which he had assumed, he would have spoken in stronger tams of the wrongs of th at system. It was unnecessary at present to argue about the evils which it was calculated to inflict, or about the nature of that Government which was threatened with destruotion,-.. What might he the merits or demerits of the Swinish Coned., tution ho 'knew not, and though he "night have speculative opinions, he would mit pretend to express any on such a sub ject. But, whatever that Constitution might contain, the at tack intended to be made upon it would be the means of rel. to eget . her it, .with all As sins upon its icing; every Spaniard head. lie besought their Lordshipeeo contemplate the prin., ciples of tl in Allies carried into action, and to .curteider whe ther the result i:eineet not beinjurioue to the' interests of thb:l country. 'those who coniOlained Ore theoreticid nature of OA' Constitution of the Come, were the holdret theorists them II - selves. Would it not ho supposed, from their various manifes tos, that the happiest institutions had grown,out of every act of interference with the independence of nations e But what said history ? It chewed that the greatest monuments of lic e _ man perfidy had arisen dm of the applications of that prin ciple, whilst, on the contrary, in no inetance where some thing like a free Constitution had calmed, had any danger resulted to other States. Let the House Leek at the state. of Naples and that of Genoa; was it such diet Spain should be desirous of placing herself in the fiends of those who wished to treat her in the same manner; or that she should he disposed to accept of a Constitution axed of Liberty from Fo reign Powers ? He would also ask by what meanie supposing the invasion and conquest of Spain to have been accomplished, the Government of a despotic King Was to ho upheld ? Could it be done by any thing save by military occupation ? And with all the ports of Spain occupied by Frenea troops, what would be the itecurity:of our empire, .i of its national pence, especially of the repose of that country which was Most ex posed to the machinations of an enemy ? Then what would become of Portugal if Spain were cowered and replaced un der a despotic Government? The principle of interference would be as applicable to the one commas to the other. But was not England bound by treaty to protect the independence of Portugal, and would she not thus be called into action ? In case the French artily should only obtain partial success in Spain, another kind of danger would arise. Should the French succeed in penetrating into, without being able to overwhelm the whole country, leaving one portion.of the population in a situation so desperate as to compel it to have recourse to every possible means of defence, were therein() examples to tell us how the ethole spirit of Jecubiniem might once more be ,let loose upon the world, taking rbot in Spain, and spreading to other countries. The house was bound to bear testimoty to the prudence, moderation, and dignity with which the Spanish Councils had been directed, - and he prayed that the cause might remain as it had beck, unstained hy those excesses into which too ardent a love for liberty had led other countries.— But was it not to be feared that if it were abarwioncd by all the world, and found no resource except in the-passions of an infuriate people, that Government would be obliged to let loose that population in the way which he had described, and to raise that standard in a manner fatal, not only to the peace of their own country, but to that of their neighboars ? Under every pointof view the threatened interference set Intel as for. midable to the interests of all nations as it was unjust. With that sense of the aisle which menaced Europe, he would have wished for a more explicit declaration in the Address against the principles professed by the Allies in general, and their ap plicatton in this instance. But convinced that the sense of the Government was in unisorhwith these feelings, and considering himself bound" to give them credit till he saw proofs to the con trary,. for having made every' effort to avert the threatened ca. lammes, he confessed that he did not think the present was a time to propose a further declaration than that which he found • on the motion on the table. Seeing reasons to be sittiefied when he heard it stated by his Majesty's Minieters, that they still entertained hopes of influencing thoiee whom.. theyecould not convince, he should he contenteo aequiese in the Address. Ile should not deuan the House by going into the questions mooted by his Noble Friend ;Merl Statihope), but without en tering at length into the question of currency, he should say, that in his opinion, a part of the difficulty expheienotel arose from the unfortunate preference given to gold ovecsilver, as a standard of currency....thiwilling as he ehoold be to unsettle the foundation on which the present currency rested, lie :dittoed have no objection to a limited inquiry whethergold or silver should be adopted as a standard. With respect to the mite of agriculture, their Lordships were bound to ghte:eit their &nest uttentioh at another period. As to she other topics' contained in the Speech, he was gled to lied that melte PRICE SEVEN PENCE. sures were . to be proposed; for the purpose of promoting peace, and improving the condition of the people m Ireland. He trusted, that when they should have been passed by the Legislature, they would be carried into effect with finutiess and vigour. He repeated, that he wished the expressions used in the Speech, respecting the condOct of the Allies, had ben stronger. Indeed, he had read with snrprise; that the breach between the Governments of Spain and France, wax only " an irritation." By the same rule, if the King of Pr u s. Silt and the Emperor of Russia bad agreed at. Verona to send an army of 100,000 men Cr, change the Constitution of the Bri tish Parliament, the Noble Earl at the head of the Treasury would describe the threat and the event as . merely " an irrita. tion" between those Sovereighs and this country. He wished thatthe. Noble Earl would lay down that mode of softening his language, and would describe things and feelings ae they were. That would tern!. more than any thing to avert the danger with which Europe was threatened. Reduced as we were, were we yet so low as to be obliged to conceal the , opinions whicT; we entertained, or so unprepared as it might be thought by sOme, to vindicate the honour of the country, if attacked.* The Noble More uis concluded by - repeating that all titionimoue expression etOt e nnion en the pan of both Houses etas highly desirable, in ;trig to. satisfy Soean, Fetinceeeand otte'Contineerenf the sense which Englattel enteretined of ate thersactioas which grad taken place, and of those which seemed on the eve of otteutrirtv. 'rase Earl of LIS'ERPOOL hoped that the Noble Lad op. peeitg(Stanhope) would not press his amendment, as unanimity on this occasion would-be of particular service. Nothing, in feet, required that his motion should have beer, trfade on this tarticular;day. There was nothing whatever in the Address or the Speech to provoke such a motion, or to orevent him from bringing it forward at a more fitting time. lie was sure that a general feeling had always p revailed in the House, not to adopt motions of this nature, unlees they bad been Provoked by the Speech. It was clear that subjects of the coreprehen sive nature of those introduced by the Noble Earl could not receive that. minute discussion in the debate which usually took place on the first day of a Session, which their importance demanded, and that if they were to be discussed at all; it would be done more effectually, and with much eater advantage, separately, and at other periods. He should - not enter into the various topics which the Noble Earl had brought forward : lie should only say that they weractientled on a complete mis conception, not only of the state of the country, but of the principles which had led to it. If the Noble Peer.,thought it fit, on another occasion, to bring the internal state. of the country and the currency before their Lordships, he should be prepared to meet the question. He sho u ld h ave - s t o pp e it there, had not the Noble 'Marquis opposite said that a mii. take hnd been committed by the Committee whOtt moth mended that gold, and not silver, should be the standard of currency: 'l' he subject had been minutely investigated at the time and he should be re a dy to defend the opinion expressed by the Committee. But although it might be a eueetion whe ther gold or silver should be adopted as a standard, it was ore of still greater import a n ce whether gold 'having been . adopted as a standard, greater cells would not be produced by a new alteration, than by the continuance of the established system. Ile should, however, nut cease to defend the decision pateeed in favonr of a gold standard, instead of a silver one, which could not have been adopted unless it had been meant as a partial bankruptcy. But even then it would haie been a circuitous mode of attaining that object, which it would have been better to gain openly. If faith were to. be kept with the public creditor, gold was the only fit standard. For the 1 presenthe should not take up their. Lordshipa' time any fur -1 ther on that. question,. but should advert to the speech of the Noble Marquis opposite,. which he must own went directly to the topics more immediately before the House. 'rite Noble Marquis did not object to the terms of the Speech, but thatight that they did not go tar enough, and wished for a more dis tinct expression of distipprobetton on the part of the British Government. Now he could not conceive, without using hard words, which ought always to be avoided, a more distinct opi nion than that expressed in the first paragraph of the Speech, where it woe distinctly declared that " Faithful to the princi ples which his Majesty has, promulgated to the world as.eon. etuuting thevule of his conduct, his 1 ejosty declined being party to any proceedings at Verona which could be deemed an Interference in the internal concerns of Spain on the part of Foreign Powere. And his Majesty lute since us e d, and conti nues to use, his most anxious endeavours And good offices to allay the irritation unhappily - subsisting between the French and the Spanish Governments ; and to avert, if possible ' .. the calamity of war between France and Spain." It wou ld be in their Lordships recollection where the Promulgation . of those principles were to be found. It was in the Cir. cular Note written by a clear and lamented friend of bison the 19th of January, 1821, in which the policy of this country was distinctly stated to be allow every country to be th -., only judge of the manner in whielt it wes to he'governed, and not to admit of interference, .;seep, is ceiveptions when the urgency of self-preserv at i tue enigfeterequ ire it.
