( I fear, hear.)
Mr. J. W. WARD oppatied the motion; •t the same time
lie agreed with the Honourable soil Learned mover, that
the late proceedings of the Congress of Sovereigns re-
lative to Naples was DIM nowayrantable. He did not
mean to say that cases of necessity might nut arise
iIS justify inteifereuce, but the necessity should be
clearly made out: it most be a real hottest apprehen-
aim) of danger. But Inult at the circumstances here,—
! Thi■ is • Tribunal of Sovereign., instituted for the
purpose of controlling the Wales of other countries; nut
no occasional control, but a regular andcoustanl supervisioo.
This was a truly daugerous novelty, suit it seemed to him
as if the equilibria of the Christrian Republic of Europe
was gone fur eve,. Under the tyranny and domination of
Napoleon we had at least the COllllOllllOll of thinking, that
the system of that man must end with himsilf, but to this
system, which was quite as unjust ■s that of Napoleon—
(//car, kear)—there was on definable term could Ire Axed at
winch we could calculate upon its extinction. Age. might
elapse before inch • man us Napoleon would again arise,
lint the Potentates at Layliarb„ were the production of
very century. The despotism of Napoleon led the way to
better thump, ■s far as despotism could have that effect ;
but this new system led only to hope less barbarism.
—(hear, /sear)—His Hon. and Learned Friend hail com-
pared the principles of the Jacobins of Frairee in 171kJ, to
those of the Sovereigns at t.aybsrb. He was old enough
to remember that momentous era, and could recollect that
what principally alarmed all reasonable men in this country,
was ttot so Much the power or cuniprests of France, as their
displaying a drsign to interfere with the internal affairs of
other countries. They, fur Isistaace, declared war against
monarchy, which sass • part of the British constitution;
but the Holy Alliance wished to proscribe liberty, whirl,
he trusted was also • part of that constitution. With
the knowledge we bail of the maxima of the Congress,
he must say, that if this country were safe it was only be-
cause we were strung; for it was-quite clear that E.oglaaid
most be the object of jealoosy, terror, and aversion to the
Powers of the Cosiiiiirot.—(/!ear, hear.)-11 they rushed

ty. He did nut think the maxims:and principles of the Allies
• Cause of war to this country; but it was a cause rby we
should render our connexions with that Power leas intimate.
—lt should be rraiembercil that Austria went into this war
with 16 millious of British money in her pocket, and if at
any future pri had that l'uwrr Arnold be borne down, it never
again coated be proposed to shed one drop of British blood,
or rape,. I one guinea in her hi half.

Mr. BROUGHAM said, he :rusted the testimony of his •
HOD. and Learlied Frit-tot ou the floor agsitist the pi Inciples
of the Allies, hacked as it was by the manly ileclarstiou of
the Member fur Yorkshire, wuu d go fuith not only its this
cotton y hut to the would; and if the question 'Nimbi
come to • division, the result of which might easily be
anticipated, Europe would perceive, soil, above all,
the Cosigrers at Naples would have nutiee, that it was
nut a rote to favour of their proceedings. It was no
jirdgioriat on the mighty qiiestion which now agitated
al Europe, *Ed which would, be !rioted, be produc-
tive of liberty; by pctce certainly, if possiSle, or if 'nut, by a
glut ions war, to be waged, not by this country, but by that
against which the aggression war pointed. He feared that
Le could out be sanguine as to the bust molts of such.coa-
lest ; lie wished he could Witter himself that A. re 11.1 a any
prospect of success fur that otifuttotiate rople; but this at
least he believed. for it was true, that if at Must they should
be defraud, the sei d was sown, the principle was recoguiged,
and intuit ultimately be successful. Defeated they might Ire in
the South of Italy, but it would break forth again iu the
North. Germany itself was plot inattewire to the struggle;
and they would remember the broken promises a hick hail
been dealt forth to o.mm:tees. After the part which lie took
five year• ago' he could nut give • silent vote on the present
ocespion. flifore beset thrwas he would beseech the Hunse
again to recollect that this questiim decided nothing as to the
conduct of the Potentates •t Layhach. If there was soy
Gentleman who slid not agree with the seatitssetits of the
Honourable Member fur Yos bitter, so ably enforced by the
last speaker—if there were any sane who could defend
the conduct of the Congress at h, he hoped be would
rise NI his place and say so. Ile hoped the Hon. Me tither
(Mr. J. W. Ward) had overstated the dislike in which we were
held on the Cs utinent of Europe. Ile believed that long after
our subsidies had erased, the people of the Coot Mehl looked
with NO litre illierebt to the deliberations of that House—
(Hear, I,u:o—and he would venture to express his wish
that it might go forth into those countries that there was
nut one loan in all the House of Consumes who approved
