Pf all the , [(rounds pf dililacnte which !me subsisted between the pre.ei t Ministers Kid iireir opponents, the one nuon m Bch they haVe been most decidedly at variat:ce, has been the War in the Peninsula. The Opposition, with very few excep. dons, have maintained that Ministers were,walitonly and foolishly exhausting the resources Of the coun- try in a fruitless endeavour to defend Portugal- , -that it was perfealy absurd to suppose that any force that Glen Britain could ,send would, be sufficient to op pose the French in their designs upon that kingdont . That we Mny , not be accused, of Misrepresentation :, we will quote an extroat fiom one of the than} , speeches delivered by Lent GRUNVILiS Uppll suhj&d. In' the debate on the v. 21 of Fib tO, his Lordship is reported, in the Papers, to !dye do livered himself to the following of feet ; " Lord .Gititstv ti.ut said, it was an Ungrateful task to recall to their Lordships' recolleition, the many sad predietions he had witted ; prediClions, which , were despised-at the time, Loa whiell had since btett most untortunately realized : ungrelefol did be.elso feel.the task of now ariticipattng fresh mi..faittmes front 1k experience of past tipsters. But at the same time, he felt sonic Satisfaction in pe, forming this duty, because he would not now dwell with barren censure on the past, but call upon their Lordships to interpose and prevent the repetition of similar cialainities tor the f uture. He had now to plead .before the Fthetbe i the cause of the. Butigh Army, and be' would 'ask their Lordstiipsi, it , th e y were disposed again to lavish unprofitably there bloud of our brave soldiers, who on all occasions appear so , ' prompt for every, satvico, so lavish et their blood and lives ? Is it not the least they have; to ,, expect trout Parliament, that they will interpose between `them atul the lolly of Ministers, and take care, that not one more lite shall be sacrificed, not one more drop of blood be shed, where no advantage can arise limn such sacrifices to Portugal or to 'Spun], or now indeed to :any part of the World. It was no doubt an agreeable throe try the mind of his Noble Friend (the Marquis VVet.r.ust.xv) to pursue all these vi sionary dreams, which might yet _crown the exer tions ot oar allies; but he felt it ,an imperious duly to ask this question, whether, there existed any nom ire that House, who would stand up and conscien tiously say, that be believed Portugal conid still be saved, even by the sacrifice of the whole British Army in that country ? Let hint hear the ,entin knowledge such to be his belief, awl Ikea ha would lake tralaure of hit' wisdom and his abilities. The defence of Portugal always appeared to bun next. to impossible, it. must now be assented to by all men, that it is. proved to be impossible. .The Noble Lord then proceeded to continent upon she piano): employing Portuguese no .ps : what 'chance, he asked; could be pla ! se n d upon, raw recruits, upon men who had never seen an e6coly, who Live..r t 6i vi been inured to the habits of roui I vy. t ie c t.' ed that stu.h 11)C11 c:Vcr it :1 a c v, i3 j usi •i ,11.reuCh .4,i111 AnliV ik e 4( j en was most absardi—Loro AIUILIA it) LI.Je .111lA.!tithgt; ,ere t ere IS a clear and use a trr,cai ii4lni!al of the opinion of thesetwo Nulsle .

In August, 1806, Mr. Fox, writing to the British Miolltrr in Portugal, bays, " MAJ4STY has thought fit to give.directions that ti,tii land - force appropriated to . this service shriuld receive successive augmentations, as. fast as the means of transport can be pro, Wed.... , If Portugal should be willing seriously to . engage vigorous and eftett we measures of defence, the KING will approse your expressing.his.MAJHSTY's di , post ! tiun to support them to the full extent of such means as his MAJaSTY may be ,able to apply to tins letter ,froto Mr. WINDHAM to Lord Aosst.v sr and G en eral SIMCOR, of thy f'.2th August, 1806, he , trays,.

Here, then, we have the'Most indisputable evidence, that Lord GRENVILLE and his friends thought the defence of Portugal so importam, that there was oo exettion in the power of this country that they would not employ to accomplish that (Nee, but • - • Ault they a i lso - thought that it was mpossible for Great Britain, by any exertion, to prevent, the French from taking , possessien of thLt kingdom.

What Is the result ? why that the opinion .of the Opposition Was un tonntlt:d, that Portugal itr. defensible, that it has Wei, de:ended, and 'that this nieesure, pregnant wish • danger' anti certain dicerace, hags been protinCtive of safety and glory.
