' Lconcivpsp ] ‘
In the firik place, you had, by your
mariiime superiority, and the great
navai force you possessed in the Med
iterranean, the means of landing at
Trielte, and its neighborhood, such a
force as might bave contributad to
alter the fatal issue of the campaign.
The fate of Austria was decided by
a battle, and that battle was decid
ed by Bonaparte’s drawing that force
from Marmont, which you could
have prevented. You might have
pievented general Marmont and
gen. Macdonald from fending Lim re
inforcements. You might have kept
them both in check. It might not
have altered the fate of the war, bat,
Wwith a view to continental co-opera
tion, or natipnal honor, or the deliv- ‘
erance of Europe, or any other objedt,
it would have been meritorious, com
pared with the wrerched expedition
‘which was sent to Porcu gal. 1 may
be told, that, to have aded on the fice
of the Mediterranean, would have re
quired large flzets and pumerous ar--
tuies, which would have becn attend.
ed with enormous expences. True,
but the"y;;;g;igg ,i ftzh‘ﬂ%‘ produced some:
adequate effect. Let me ask, have
you not ‘incurred great expencesby.
your miserable expeditions, oot in af
filling. but in bringicg loss and degra.
dation on_cur allics, and scorn and
{hame ‘on ourselves ? Look to the
Nozth of Germany —Confider all.
thas &tikes the mind in that part of
iRR WT P TR B e RER Us b B eRM el
the continent, If his majesty’s min
isters are capable of refle@ion, let them
refiect on the powerful diversion they
might have effeted by encouraging
that spirit which a@uated the north
of Germany. Having failed to take
advantage of that {pirit ; having del
troyed the hopes of those brave peo
ple. who would have exerted them
{elves againi} the common foe ; having
done nothing in aid of the «caufé in
which they were engaged ; what must
be the feelings of such men when they
com: down to parliament to {peak of
service they have performed, by the
demolition «of some docks belonging
to the enemy ? As near to you as
_. W.Jcﬁ?rcn, there was a spirit-even a
mong your own fuhjedls, which you
might have called into adtion. There
was the population of whole provinces,
ready to life in arms; warlike pro
vinces, confilting of men used to war
~—difbanded indeed, but as good fol.
diers as any who ever fonghr, and all
of them “ready to join the British
fandard. Here was where you cught
to have held out encouragement.
Yon negledted to do so, and you have
facrificed these men to the melancholy
fate they have since encured.: Had
you done all this, &ill T ara not of op
inion it would have been available,
io as to have decided the fate of the
war favourably to this country ; but
if you had done it—is there a man
who can doubt that the plans of 80.
naparte would have been materially
disconcerted ; that his plans in Sax
ony would have been disconcerted,
that upen the infurre&ion in the
North of Germany he wouid not, ir
fead of fencing the national guards,
have beet obliged to have opposed it
by dilcipiined troops. This is what
you might have done—now, like a
blighted ear comes what you have
dopne—You had an hundred thousand
men at your disposal ; of these some.
thing more than Iwenty thousand
were disposed of in Sicily. - You had
two arsnies of forty thousand men in
addition 1o your naval force. One of
these armies was destined to ad& in Por
tugal, and to march into the heart of
Spain, and this expedition was sent
out by the very men who had original
ly planned fir John Monre’s expedi
tion. It had been aifcertained that
such a force was inadequate to pro
duce any ocher effe@ than the loss of
the brave lives who composed it. His
majeity’s ministers not ouly did not
profit from the, experience they had,
bur they so contrived, that every one
of the errors to which they atrributed
the failure of general Moore’s army,
should operatein a Rill greater degree
in the army of lord Wellington.
What were the defeats withiegard to
general Moore’s expedition? In the
firfk place, its operations were not con
certed with the Spanish government.
Shall we be told that the operations
of tiis second campaign were better
concerted. e
[Here his lordfbip entered into a minute de
tail of the different expeditions, ot which
he drew a melagcholy portraic—As- the
. disasters which befel these misguided and
unfortunate expeditions are airecady well
kaown by molt of our readers. we pass
over this part of his {peech and cometo
a conclusion '
. Be not offended, my lords, at what
I state, but put it home to your hearts,
and ask yourselves, whether, after the
expedition of Sir John Moore, and af
ter the expedition of lord Wellington,
you can determine to encourage these
ministers in the profécution of mea.
fures, so ruinous to the country ? In
the present awful situation of the
country, let me entreat you to reflsct
that you have an important duty to
discharge. If you execute it with ap
athy and indifference—lf you meet
only for the purpose of hcanqg‘ the
detail of the errors of miniftess
—confider that some portion, of
that - blame ~ which ought only
to be imputed to them, will at

of the country being what I have
Rated, it has no quarter by which to
dire& its thoughts, and encovorage its
expetations,but the Ijzergics;ﬁ}’c_} pow
