An army Iraq marched from our shover to destruction. Was
it the blame of the Gemmel I—The General timid not cam
trout the poisonous air of %%Sitio:l.ra. Was it the fortune
of was ?—Thin might do much as au excuse, where army
met army in the field ; but litre there was uo hattle, uo
chance of war, to mitigate the calamity. Was it the
winds or weather I—The winds and weather had nothing
to do with ships to a harbour, or with land ferret. No, oar
misfortune cause from existing permanent causes, hich
ought to bare been foreknown sod avoided. Our army
was aent to perish in the pestilential atiouspliere of Zealaud,
to expire, like a candle in • noisome vault. Could any olijcct
oldie Expedition he eitewn which hail nut failed ? If they
looked at the British object, that had failed, if at the fureigo
ithject, that hail nut uoly failed, but it was imposeible that
it should hare succeeded. The Noble Lord was therefore
right in saying, they would not suffer themselves to be di-
vested by papers, when the matter fur consideration was so
urgent. It wee the cmionun course, to produce papers Me-
medireely after they were promised, and not to keep the
public in suspense, as in the present instance. They were
not to look at the date of the Speech, but at the time Minis.
tees bad ho prepare tie the meeting of Parliament. If they
were not active in recalling the Expedition, they ought to
bate been active no getting ready the papers for the/ de-
Game ; though the task, he must cunt se, was rather an 'm-
ph:L.4am one. It behoved them, as II principal duty, not to
wait, earn till aluuday, but to skew, by their decision, this
night, that they did not waist papers for their information.
