HOUSE OF COMMONS.
January 23
A similar amendment was proponed,
wWh that offered in the House of Lords.
[See the last Argun.]
The linn. Mr. Ward, in rising to second
the amendment proposed hr his noble
friend, begged to assure the House that it
♦as not his wish unnecessarily to trespass
upon its attention, or, upon light grounds,
to disturb that unanimity which gentlemen
sefcmed so anxious far on the present oc
casion. But when he adverted to the na
ture of the me isurcs which had been pur
sued by his Majesty’s government—when
ho considered the weakness and impolicy
of their whale system of conduct, he felt
himself experionsly called Upon to declare
his decided disapprobation of the aidre^s.
It appeared to him that the p st afforded
sufficient grounds, not alone to condemn
the policy upon which it turned, hut to en
able the nouge to form sn andequate judg
ment of the future measures of mote men
by Whom the resources of the ‘na
tion had hern is shamefully misapplied.
If that Hops* were to agree to the address
proposed by the wble mover, it would in
efface resolve to address, after the calami
ties w ich had been suffered* f»r the con
tinuance of tHa' policy and those measures
op which alone those calamities, were'to be
•scribed. ‘It tna- House were not to express
in that instance e ther resentment for the
past, or anxiety for the fu ure—if they were
not to give expression to their sentiments

'therefore, from supposing that they wr.uld

Ficient magnitude to ca':l for such an exor.
tion. It was intended to strike a blow at
the naval power of France, and'this was an
object of the greatest importance. The
subjects of Bonaparte would then have
found, that while he was delighting them
with accounts of conquests abroad, they
were not secure fron invasion at home. *At
that time a disposition had in ini tested it.
self in that part of hit dominions, to shake
off the yokt nis tyranny anil usurpation had
imposed. It should be taken into consid.
evation how far it might be politic to an*,
courage such a feeling, hy making an effirl

hostility. It was, perhaps, hardly possible
so to commit ourselves, 'that in ne cast

Tne Chancellor of the Exchequer,
alluding to the disputes in the Cabinet,
said, tnat, entering as he diJ into the
feelings of his noble and of his right
ho .01 able friend (Mr. Canning,) he
was desirous, either then or at any o
ther time, oi saying as little as possi
ble of the unfortunate occurrences
which had deprived the country of
their services. He would only state
that with respect to the differences to
which the honorabla gentleman oppo
site alluded, he was wholly unsuspici*
ous ot their existence until the end of
last session of Parliament, and not till
alter tne Expedition to the Scnedlt
was determined upm. He had cer
tainly been anxious to do every thing
in his power to reconcile tho3e differ*
ences, feeling as he did the highest ad
miration for his right honorable friend,
but never partaking with him in his o
pinion of the ine.hciency of fits nurds
friend* for whole ability, on the eon
trary, he entertaiued the greatest ret- '
pect. Finding, however, that all his
efforts to restore upion were ineffectu
al* he had received his majesty’s com
mands to endeavor to procure the asi
sistance of two noble lords in the for
mation of a combined and extended
administrarion. He could pot con*
ceive how this application deserved id -
be so unworthily characterized as
had been by the honorable gentleman ^ "
opposite. He could assure the hoita
arable gentleman, th*|t if he had amu
cipaied that the proposition court hive
been deemed dishonorable to the char
acter of those noble lords, he should
[ have felt it dishonorable to his own
character to tender it. This offer hav
ing been refused, no option was afford
ed hi n, but either to take the official
situation which be had then the honor
to hold, or to leave his majesty to be
dictate l to by these who differed from
him in opinion. The honorable gen
tleman had Intimated, that his majes
ty’s present, government did not pos
sess the affection and confidence of the
people. He mi^ht, perhaps, chink
him arrogant in asserting, that, with
out assuming the possession of talents
; and experience equal to those of the
, gentleman opposite, he did conceive
that his Atajesty’s present government
• possessed in a much higher degree
‘ than they did the confidence of tho
, country, and that, under any circuna
, stances, they would be better calculat
; ed to conciliate the general g"iod opin
ion. What were the occurrences of
; their administration, which were so
disirrACefui and fin minmu t
The right hon. gentleman then re*
plied at lull length to the objections
