Le thro_o rince of the ".Bourtion-, family on ue of that country. - In'bririging forward such a motion he had no wish to ernbattais the measures of GoVernment; though he did : not think that, even in the present advanced state Of the Session, it would be proper to postpone it. A most extraordinary . proposition had-been Made by the Secretary of Foreign-Affairs of the 14 ... tench .Government, at thetime above alluded-to, when ?'lto suspicion could possibly , be entertained, of such a transaction being in agitationcon• the part of the French Government. That proposition had been, that the Prince of Lucca, the nephew of Ferdinand should. be placed. on, the throne. of the Spanish Colonies in. South America. It had been stated at the same time, on the part of the Government of France that the transac tion shonld_ remain unknown to England ; and,. at the-same time, it was asserted that Austria and Russia were fax;ourable. to the project. Whatever might have been the views of Austria, he thought that such a plan could not have been fortried unless France thought herself, secure of the "'co-operation, or, at least, the content of RiiSsia. France had, at the, same time, under taken to negotiate - for the consent of all the Powers of Europe; and had promised to support the new SOvereign with Such a portion of her naval and military force as would enable him to set, all oppositio n a t defiance. That opposi tion could have come frOrn Great . 13ritain only. 'Some objection h a d been started by the Minister from Buetios Ayres' as-to the practicability of the plan. It'had then beeh proposed that the Prince Of Lucca should marry a Princess of I3tazil, and that a cession of Banda should take place - in con sequence of the-marriaae. • It hadat the sa me ti m e been given out th a t b-reat Britain - intended to place a British Prince on the Throne , of Buenos Ayres.; and then followed a tirade on the injury done to the Catholic Religion from. such •a:step on the part of the British Government, But the Government of Buenos Ayres made it an indis pensable condition that the consent Of the _British Government should be obtained to the- proposed, arrangement,. He thought he had shewn - a Par liamentary ground for the motion, and that it was both the interest -and the duty-of the country to acknowledge the independence of the South Ame rican Colonies. -None-of the other European vernments, with the exception of France and Spain, had a right to interfere with--the conduct of Great Britain ; and, in fact, no State:that had been privy to the transaction, had a, right to in terfere. It was highly probable that France had sounded the feelings of Spain; before : She 'had, formed such a project ; and in that case the d-6- vernment of Spain had no right to complain, 'and Britain was bound by no tie to that Power. The South American Colonies had maintained their indepen&Uce fora number of years, and to recognize thekindepend ence , was a matter of po licy on the partof Foreign'Powers. If that were not the case, the independence of Holland and the United States, could never have been recognized. This country had a Consul at Buenos Ayres ; but great inconvenience ekisted,as to the carrying on of diplomatic relations. At the same time that we traded with Buenos Ayres, we treated them as pirates ; and at the present . moment_ proceed.- ings were pending, at the instance of the King of Spain, to condemn- their ships as pirates. The Spanish Colonies liAd been mentioned . only as an additional Article to the:Treaty of -1814, at Pa ris, by which the. King of Great - Britain had sti pulated to furnish The ColOnies neither with ainns nor ammunition. If France could dictate to Spain, in the manner she -appeared to have done, Great Britain ought- not to lie by,; as - in the event of that taking place, an exclusion of all British coat, mOdities would take place from - that portion of South America. --The Holy - Alliance should have' excited more attention than it appeared to have done, on the part -of _Ministers. For, 30 years the blood and, treasure of England .had flowed for France, to restore the House of Bourbon to the Throne of their ancestors, and now that House turned upon her benefactor ; and France had acted a treacherous and perfidious part to Great Britain- 'lt appeared that the United States were on the watch; and having obtained posses sion of _Florida--from Spain,. were .preparing to send an Ambassador -to South- Atherica. Care should be taken that the United States should -not be allowed to get the-start of us ; as in those Colonies there were-20 millions of people, and a great demand for:British-goods. Tliellon. Mem ber concluded by mo . vins for Copies of all Offi cial Cominunications received by the British Go verninent, -relative to a Negoeiation.between the Government of Vran-c • e and that of Buenos Aires,, on the subject of pluou - g^ a • Prince of the House of Bourbon on the Throne of that Cent - au: Lord CASTLEREAGH opposed the motion, on the groundS that the-production. of the documents al, luded to could not have any other effect than that of embarrassing G - overnment,. by leading them into an' explanation, which would drag on, an ab stract discussion on assumed facts, Of which, in the piesent state of the information in the hands, of Governtnent, they could_ not judge either as to the 'good or bad foundation. He would' not dis guise that they were in possession of a number of printed papetS; transmitted to Government bi- Naval -Officers, - On the station of the river Plate, which were in the shape . oficirculars,.stating, that criminal proceedings had .heen instituted against certain members of a late: Government of Ifuenos Ayres, .for what by the ; ekr§lifig Government was looked upon as an nnconstitutioal measure. But even these papets . couldlnot be.produced as being official ; and therefore, undet h-e ,present cir cuhaSfanees, he must refuse to enter into any ex planatieny• which ~he .was .sure the tinuse would. allow him to say could not be productive.of the least practical benefit. The'llon.'-and Learned. Member himself had not co► fined. hiinself to this', subject alone, but had made it the stepping stone . to an examination of the whole .policy, pursued by, this- towards - the,revolted Colonies of, South America: - He must allo,decline to follow him' into this wide .field, of discussiOn.; nor could he ever, consent to enter into.are-eiitininatiOn of their conduct towards-fOregu Powers. He should reserVelimself on these subjects till, the _proper time should arrive for going ; into them: 'lre must'be excused for taking the 'liberty of cautioning theaffonourable and . Laartied Gentleman- frazn into what .he is pleased to term the. Holy Alliance. He (Lord C.) had watched : that Alliance as Much as' the Learned Gentle alma-and, he'mnst say, that he saw no reasonable :grounds for those sentiments of distrust-he had ex pressed. If •he were to say all he knew' and thought with regard to those Great Powers, he could prove that they conducted themselves on a far different spirit from that attributed to them. He- saw nothing on the • face. of those papers which pointed more against Russia than Austria He protested against that spirit of - catching at abstract incidents, and building inflammable mat ter upon them. He assured the Learned Gen.- tleman that if in this transaction any discredit should result to the Great Power alluded to, it would be the, first time there hattbeen reason to alistrust- that or any other of the Powers consti tuting that Alliance, whose honour and interests were individually and colleetiVely engaged in the maintenance of the happiness and rights of the people of the whole of Europe. . Up to the pre sent time he could expressly state that they were all:untainted. He trusted, therefore, under all circumstances, the House would see the propriety of his not lending himself to the propagation of a discussion from which no benefit could be derived, but on the contrary much prejudice mightbe done with reference to Foreign Powers. Sir JAMES MacKmosn contended thatno time was more fit for bringing forward and discussing a motion of this kind than the time when foreign Powers Were making encroachments of a clandes tine and treacherous nature oulhe National . in-. terests of thiS country. He thought the' Noble Lord . should have no objection to -produce such documents as were in' his possession. He wished gie HouSe patticularl . y-- to observe, that the ne gociation respecting' the establishment 'of a.Mo narchy at Buenos Ayras, .was carried on in the 'month of May 1819, just at the time when that House was employed in'passing a Bill to p ro hibit British subj ec t s from entering into the service of the. South Americans---a- Bill, the' effect of which-was to enable Spain to recover possession of those,pro vinces. The Continental: Powers were . privy to the plan of for Ming the New Monarchy in those extensive regions ; while England, kept in ignorance on the subject, Was discussing the mea a sure to which he just alluded. If the British Government had known of the existence of - such a-negociation, the Parliament surely iv-ould never be called. on to„ pass a measure • so. hostile to its literests: lie thoUght itivas of the utmost hnpor tance that the House should have this information, in order to show to foreign nations that this country was not inattentive to their proceedings: By agreeing to this measure, the House would strengthen the hands of- his Majesty's Govern. ment in every 7 negociation . which might :be had on this- subject. The relations of South America and Spain were certainly, at this time, in a very peculiar - ; because the re c en t transac tions in Spain had materially changed the whole aspect of things in South America. lie must say that a return •of those provinces to the yoke of an odious despotism, was a thing which he had ever objected, to ; but when a nation became free, 'and was capable of governing itself, as Spain now appeared to be, it was possible that a junction, mutually advantageous to both Fifties, - might now take place between Spain and the Aine.- rican Colonies. lle was' not very sanguine on this point ; but'it might happen. Spain had al ready performed two of the greatest services that ever were • conferred by any nation on mankind. The first was the,expelling, with a small min= tary force, an:.anabitions invader from her-terri tory ; the other important- service was that of heap .recovered., her. liberty - without the effusion-of blood. Indeed, the time was arrived when the spirit of reformation,, in all political in stitutions, was too powerful to be "resisted: and heiaelieyed the only dangers to be apprehended were.those that arose. out of the passions of_poli tical leaders. -The progress in reformation cha.: racterized the present-age, and any :Goaernment that resisted .it was sure to be defeated. . a . ; Mr.. CANNING conceived, th a t enough had been .stated to show that papers of this. kind ought not to be produced in their present imperfect state. It might be honourable and beneficial for Gentlemen who had no ostensible situations to exa press their sentiments as the-two Hon. Gentle-' men had just done ; but would it be fit for the Government to give any expression of sentiment,- or to lay before the House a detail of fa6ts, which were'not sufficiently full and authentic to act` upon, and thus to hold out to this country and to EUrbpe an - imbecility of councils . , highly de-. trimantal-to the interests of the cOuntry. As to what-his: Learned Frierid said of this negociation being carried' on at the time'when that House was passing the Foreign Enlistment he would say. 'that:although other countries might act treaa cherously to us, --it was most satisfactory to us to think that we had not dpne any thing with .which we could reproaCh ourselves; although other na tions pursued a'differeth course. He entertained a different opinion from his lion. and Learned Friend, as to the . reconciliation which he sup posed might be advantageously made between'-I Spain in her present reformed, state, and the South: American Provinces; for Provinces were, always, worse treated by countries that had their popular assemblies, than, by those which were governed"bY an absolute. monarchy. He was surprized to hear; the Learned Gentleman say,. in 'defiance of i ,history so- universally known, that the Sim.- niarda had driven, away their invaders by the aid of a ,snaa.ll ...military force ; for what could_ they have done,w)thoot the Duke o f W e lli ngton. and his army ?. As to this country acknowledging the Government of Buenos Ayres, he- wished to . '.know, -while one 'Government Was driving anaa other,out, which of them was to be: aCknOW- Jedged ? lie retained the same wishes now for South Anierica, as he did before the late-changes in Spain. As to the:Papers moved for, they'Could no t be produced without great inconvenience ; and ' it would be impossible to give satisfactory..infor mation on many of them. • Mr. ELLICE implored the Noble Lord. , and Right Hon. Gentleman to extend - their care to _ . the great interests of th . .- conntry connected with the South American Colonies, to which he looked Chiefly for the relief of our manufacturing and commercial distress. He expressed much satis faction at the speeches of the Noble Lord and Right Hon. Gentleman. After a few words from Sir F. OMMINEY, Dr. LUSHEIGTO N replied, and in consideration of the papers not being official, obtained permis sion to'withdraw his motion. EAST INDIA VOLUNTEERS. Mr. CANNING moved the third reading of the East India Company Voliniteer Bill. Mr. CREEVEY spoke against the increase of the military force, and in favour •of economy. The East India Company he considered as a public grievance, in itself, and was sur prised at their asking, a• force to repress the people. - He also asserted that the regiment would be useless e hen _raised, and that any rioters might seite their arms in tie depot and turn them against the peace. For these reasons he moved, as a u amendment, that the Bill should be read this day - six months. - Mr. HOB HOUSE seconded the ne , tion. • • Mr. MONEY stated that the Bill before the House did not raise any new body, but merely revived a regiment which had been on embodied by the East -India Coeipanr, and was found to be as - efficient and'ineritorions a body as the country boasted.. reminded the House of the necessity there was for some such protecting force to be in preparation against the repetition - of such predatory attacks :14 those which had been coininit ted by the Spafields rioters and when. 30,000 stand of arms, and property e mounting to about 12 or 1'3,000,0001: were left almost defenceless. . Mr. HOUHOUSE said ; that though it was usual to talk of_ the people being misledby demagogues, he was convinced that the people entertai•hed none Of the evil designs - imputed to them. He objected to the extent-of the Army. %Vt.. had 92,000 men, of whom 36,0.00 were kept for Britain alone, being 6,000 more'tharrOliyer Cromwell had to keep down t he conn try when be usurped it. The "lion. Member also objected to the barracks in the Mews, and ridiculed tray fears being en tertained of the disaffected, which he thought were so often spoken of, that they Came to be credited as children were said to tell ,srpries of-ghosts till they believed in their existence.— He reettinmenducLipstead . of soldiers, to remove the causes of complaint itethe count ry. . Sir F. OMMANEY was in favour of the Bill. • • • 'Mr. W. WILLIAMS also supported it, as a firm - friend to . the liberties of the people.

Noboly . conld now look at that venerable pile without regretting the bad taste which bad prompted the cutting down of those trees in St. Margaret's Church-yard: which formed one 'of - its most. vkasing ornaments. - This had hero done, as be understood, fur the purPose. of erecting scaf foldings, and affording accommodation to witness the cere mony pt the Coronation. He Wishetr to know whether this had been done udder the authority oft helDeatiand Chapter of Westminster, or merely by that - alb& Parish Churchwar dens. The changes and alterations which had been made within the Abbey, and the dilapidated state:of many .'public 'monuments appeared to liciu to be also fit matter for the at tention of Parliament. He must again say, that he lamented to see the trees planted at the Coronation of Geo. cut down on the Cot Ong! i 01! of Geo. IV. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he could -- not then give - an atiswer mike coe - stimi whether. the cutting,. down the tree; was. by order, of. the 'bean and Chapter, or of the Churchwardens; but he believed it was nothing. more than was done at every Coronation. With regard to the state attic. Abbey itself, Parliament had lately voted a eon- siaerattle'soln for repairing it and those repairs were nosy progress. giriOHN NEWPORT was sorry that the inquiries of his , Hon:Friend bad not received a satisfactoryauswer. He un— derstood that the interior of the Abbey bad been let for the suut,a-20,00 1. and he did not think the public ought to be charged with the whole expence, whilst the Dean and Chapter weroputting so large a sum into their pockets, . .114r t BANKES said, that the cutting down at those trees for "&lordid pin - pose, reflected any thing but honour on the Rev( rend Body. He would not vote in future, for any money for he'reVairs of Westminster Abbey; and he thought that the liousc.4o4lo.resist any such vote if it should be pro— posed. Mr. W. SMITH concurred with the last speaker. It was shameful to see the manner in which the inspection of ►he in terior .of this edifice was,-;is it were,. let out by two-ponces; no one felt more disgust at such conduct than he did ; but the' Dean and Chapter could nut be expected to lap out, as the public did, 41,0001. in Ike splendid decorations of Henry the 7th's.
