clot were the tease-of our attack ups, Copenha-
gea was, because we were then at peace with
Russia. This too was the reason of our allowing
three ittserian ships to loss unuoolested thiough
the Baltic. It was not worth our while to aggra-
vts that power at that time, so as to provoke a
war on such a trivial account ; and from a stud-.
Ise cause we permitted several of her ships
to pals through the Mediterranean. One of
the main points, however, upon whisk Ministers
rested 1.114 the evident disposition of Denmark
to join France. Fortunately for them and for
the country, they were provided with ample docu-
ments upon that subject. Every line of e cor-
resporehisce with Mr. Garlick. ewed, that both
that Gentleman and Lord How ick were convinced
of that beanie turn. He did not melte, how, ye:,
by saying this, to make any attempt at recriminu-
non apoit Lord Itiowick, for, on the contrary, be
thought that that Noble Lord had acted perfectly
WIK it to be supposed, that France. after ap-
proaching Denmark by Holstein, would be so slow
is bringiug her forces forward as to allow us to have
time to prepare is-fleet Denmark at the same
time spewed an evident supitteoeto iu not doing
her best against France ; and if she had not been
able to do any thing, she would rather have com-
peontoted wit& France-thawaseiloisaced in the views
of this country, for such was her best policy. Entice
faring at any aline the means of overrunning
ter territories witbout opposition. There moat
necessarily have been a very great distinction be-
tween our conduct to Denmark and our conduct
to Portugal. The latter we knew was disposed to
be owe Mend, and therefore we naturally must
Lave been much more mild towards her tlum to the
former of three powers, she he ing avowedly hostile.
The prinliple of our cuaduet to each of them,
however, was somewhat similar. As to the alle-
gation, that we had,gaiued nothing by the expedi-
tion, on account of the ships toeing rotteu hulks., lie
should only say, that they would hare been a
great mean: of annoyance to us, in the heeds of
our enemies, although they did not contribute much
to the increase of our navy. For what maven
should we doubt the danger that would have
arisen to us, had it been otherwise, merely be-
mire a few months might have passed over in
quiet ? From Antwerp to the North Sue,
there would have been no less than ninety sail
• of the line, and in the Baltic forty or fifty sail of
the line, all ready to act against this amatory.
The charge as to this action being an atrocious de-
parture from the Law of Nations, and of all lowl
-human and divine, was one which ought not to he
lightly made. Giovernment, however, were de-
feoded from the accusatioe, partly upon positive,
and rarity upon preaamptive proof. They had
introduced no new system of motility, or of ooli-
tic,. France haring trampled upon all neutral
rights, we had a right to say we would not leave
any means in the hands of any power that were
likely to fall into the hands of our enemy, upless

sequence of the peace and negociations at Tilsit,
together with the determination of France to ex-
-elude us from the Continental ports, most highly
approve of the coOduct of Ministers in regard to
the expedition to Copenhagen."
A you're, Member, whose name we could not
learn, evid, that after the numerous alisCusnione
this matter had undergone, he should have ex-
pected something of novelty in any arguments
that could be used to induce the House to concur
in such a condemnation of the conduct or Minis-
ten. The House having alresdy sequimeed in
that conduct, upon varicose occasious, they were
thereby likely to involve themselves in the' same
condemnation.
Mr. 'feelr LIMIIMUTOK said. that the security
which %Sinister% had adtkel to the country eas of
the most transient kind : the sixteen hulks which
they hail added to our naval force by this expedi-
tion, had been purchased at by far too high a price,
the cowl violation of ail national good faith. We
had been loud in exclaintitnt against the atrocities
of France, while are were thus totally regardless of
our own conduct. He thought the expedition to
Portugal had so much of resemblance to that
against Copeuliagen; as to form a complete condem-
natioo ~f it. It was the duty of the House not to
take popular opinion for thou guide, but to give a
pease bent to the opinions of the people. He
could never ap; rove of tbe conduct of Milliliters, as
be thought it war in perfect unison with the mode
in which they came into power, by raising the cri-
er!'" No Popery." lie could not be surprised thih
such men violated their good faith.
Lard Gaiety' tax L. Gowan said, he could not
agree with this motion. tie thought we should
have been involved in war both with Russia and
Denmark, whether Ministers had attacked Den-
. mark or not. Denmark had ahewn every mark
of hattility to this country, and partiality to
Fiance. Upon occasion of the Order of 7th Ja-
nuary being issued, Denmark took every oppor-
tunity of making repfeeentations against it, al-
though it was merely upon the footing of retalia-
tion against the French Decree. They alio re-
fused to allow the letters from Merchants upon
the Continent to Kiss through the Danish tern-
tones, aud Mr. i Thornton was under the neces-
sity of sending them by special messengers ;
and even against this there were strong remittal-
strance..-- France wis:ted to establish the li-
berty of the seas, and to establish the principles
of a new system of maritime law, to which the
feelings of Denmark, from former specimens
of her conduct, could not be deemed hostile. it
was a principle which had employed the pen of the
ablest writers in Denmark. The feelings of the
Emperor of Russia too, however friendly lie might
have been tnwanls this country previous to his late
ch.asters, were attereards unfavourable. 'flue Em-
peror conceiving that we, as his ally, had used him
ill, was disposed to joie, France against us ; and it
was very contumely said at St. Petershurgh, in
imitation of what the French had instilled auto the

minds of the Russians-11 feat annusger L'Angle-
tem. The Russian 3liuister pressed him to per-
suade his Government to make peace with France,
ar beiug .the only way of escapinJ injury from
Russia cud France, and avoiding a muntiwe con-
federacy. In short, every thing chewed that the
Emperor of Russia was not favourably disposed
towards this country. He was sore that no set of
Miiiisters, with such information as the present outs
hwl received, could have avoided taking such Ines-
sines, if they at all acted for the safety unit' inter-,
est of the country. He thought they were well
entitled to the approhatioo of the House and of the
country for their conduct.
Mr. ABI6IICROMBY thought that the conduct of
Mini:4er* was directly contrary to the know u
cus-
toms and laws of nations, and before he could give
any approval of it, he must see some evidence of the
hostility of Denmark, and the intenti,,n, of Franc'
—ln the correspondence with Mr. Garlick% there
seemed to be a well-grounded opinion, that Zealand
might have been defended. He called upon Mi-
uistenr, therefore, to chew, that they had consulted
Military and Naval ()dicers upon the suhjeet, and
to lay some documents to that effect upon the ta-
ble. They must also ,hew, that the security which
they imagined they had derived from it, waistrong,
substaidial, and lasting. Was it to bt and, that
the possession of the Danish fleet was to secure
us against- invasion t Frans*. did .aoss. stared
want of Powers upon the Coutiumit, so as to effect
that favourite object, were it otherwise possible.
The obstacles, however, which Abe had to eucounter
in the invasionof England and Ireland, were not only
to be found in our maritime superiority, hut in the
attachment of the people to the Constitution. To
what purpose hod Franee formerly added the fleet/
of Spain and Helloed ? and to what purpose could
Bonaparte have converted the Danish fleet, but to
, and to the of glorious heroes, such as Nelson,

Howe and Duncan, &c. by giving us an opportu

degradation ? lu looking into Mr. Gorlicke's dis-
patches, be found that there were wo parties in
Denmark, the one attached to France, and the
other to England, but our acts of injustice had
tended to unite them.
Mr. It. TuoaN rot entered into a justification of
the conduct of Ministers. and enumerated the
various instances in which Denmark bad shown her
hostility towards us. We Were vindicated by the
Law of Nature, in having acted so in such a case
of necessity, and as to the Law of Nations, be
should only beg to ask, where wee there any Law
of Nations to be found ? He should argue that
there was now no such Lees to be recognized, as in
fact there were no nations. The nations of the con-
tinent had all gone into the vortex of France. How
**Writhe nation have charged Ministers, had they
not done what they did ? They would undoubt-
edly here been charged with having slept upon
their posts; w'iltie France was forming her projects,
they had not protected us in proper time. France
had never yet forgot the battle gained by Lord
Nelson, although he knew from good authority,
that they have the psessiaptiou to seelebterte the,
day of that battle; tberefore France had every
disposition to regain her lost honour, and to de-
rive every assistance in doing so by the fleets of
other Powers. lie knew that English shipe had
been carried into Copenhagen between 1781 and
1799, and condemned under the influence of a
French Consul, and thezefore this shewed how
much the Danes lent themselves to the interests of
France, and evinced hostility to this country.—
Upon these grounds he should vote for the ap-
probation of the conduct of Ministers.
The SILCRETA ILY at W•R expressed himself as in-
clined to vote against the Resolution, as Ministers
were not at all censurable for their conduct, there
having been no breach of justice, nor violation of
the lan of natio.i.i. The docaments upon the ta-
We were suffici, lily explicit to chew a hortility on
the part of Deniuork ageinst us. The Crow,'
Prince must have known from the MoisitePr
and other chrumels of information, that,
owing to the pronarations making by France
against hiw, It was impossible to retain his
neutrality. By the Law of 111,tions, he con-
ceive'', that when two Powers vier^ at war, and a
third was possessed of mee•is of iNfence likely to
be employed ierainst one of the Belligerent Powero,
that Power had a right to seize these means, in or-
der to prevent them from being employed against
her. Denmark had taken no measures either in
her army or her navy, to defend Zealand crow
the attack of France ; while Bernathite, the
French General, was at Ilsotbsirg with 30u0 troops.
Upon the whole, the conduct of Ministers, be
thought, was highly cominendahle.
Doctor L iwaexes defended the genuine prin-
ciples of the law of nations. These salutary prin-
ciples were not regulated by either the success of
usurpation, or the overthrow of the states. They
eters' grounded on the immutable spirit of justice—
that feeling implanted in the heart of maim, for the
mutual benefit of all; and, whilst one isolated na-
tion remained on the globe, it was entitled to the
enjoyment and participation of all the Ides,iiirgs
and benefits of that public code. Denmark had
that claim ispii the justice and honour of Great
Britain, and it was not by false represeutotions and
distorted fart., that sit independent nation, such as
Denmark was, ought to he deprived of the advan-
tage. He did not deny, that where a case of ne-
cessity was made out, such an aggression knight not
be defended, but that necessity should be palpable,
pressing, and undeniable. if a weaker power
should be uttacked by a belligerent, the inability
of her means to defend herself, both physically and
morally, wits in the first instance to be a matter of
evidence before the right tee injnre that power ad-
mitted of acknowledgment. What was the doc-
trine be had heard that night ? Ile hail heard,
that any previous mainfestataciii of hostility, any
approximat to such a date, was, notwithstand-
ing intervening treatios of amity, a sufficient pre-
text to justify :t sulesequeut act of :opve,..iou.—
If such was the established principle on which this
country ought to proceed, why did not Nis Ma-
jesty's Miuisters extend the sates system of reason-
ing to Sweden ? That kingdom had heretofore ex-
hibited n hostile feeling towards this onuitrr. It
was Sweden that originated the tinarn!l of 1780 and
Ail, and ur6.xl Denmark to looxintz a party iu

the confederacy against the 'maritime sulseriority 1
of this couhtry.- It was that pewee that first origr-
niited the position that free bottoms made free
goods. But subsequent compacts of amity en-
tered :nto between the respective countries set at
rest previous differences, and nothing but the
spirit of interminable hostility could warrant
or defend such an inference. The Learned
Doctor ti ^n proceeded, iu an able chain of rea-
toning, to refute the presumed hostility of
Denmark to this country, and concluded by
charting Ministers with committing the hitherto
proud character of Great Britain, by becoming the
plutider...rs arid pillagers of an ancient Ally. bound
to the Illustlions Sovereign of these realms by two

Mr. Ftrzocasts. (Knight of Kerry) argued with
peculiar eloquence in favour of the address. lie
diselinined all ideas of patty or partial feeling on
sw:ti a very important question, and therefore it
was his desire to confine lilesiself to the pipe's
even produced by His Majesty's Ministers. The
first consideration with the House was to =col-

lect-.Mal Dessamrk laud segue sights,,...bad. some
persoual feelings of honour and independence.—
Whets such a principle was admitted, it was im-
possible to deny that a most gross aggression
was committed upon an Snnocent and smoc-
k:ceding power. And for what cause? For persever-
ing in that hue of policy which secured the stabi-
lite of her own iudepeudeuce, and auguseuted the
prosperity of her people. Still it was for Minis-
ters to prove that urgent necessity which could
alone justify it, and without which it must be de-
sigmas! as a most fiagitiousand inexpiableatrocity.
Daring the whole paod of Mr. Garlicke'e mission,
Denmark had actedAmn the same principles of po-
licy. Great Britain had frequently reeognieed their
propriety ; it admitted them because they were sot
aloue,bobeervient to Danish interests, but because
they were felt to.be, in a very high degree, advan-
tageous to our own. • curios'. mode of argu-
ment had been that night introduced, attempt-
ing to throw criminality upon Der:nark, because
it had detaieed its military sieves in Zealand, when
Holstein was menaced with :, It was rather

before it persevered in this impolitic course. Den.
weak we bad alienated by our unjust aggressions ;

His Majesty's Ministers had triumphed in that
cause which nossaporte had in vain undertake.
Mr. COOKER was astonished that, after the long
and laborious discussion this question had under-
gone, any Hououruble Gentleman could be found
to make use of the arguments now urged. The
Honourable Gentleman has treated the !louse with
a long harangue, in which he would have us believe
that our war with Russia has been the consequence
of our expedition to Copenhagen, and deprecated
with no small share of warmth, that expedition.
His speech, one would think, would be better fitted
for the first day of the Session. He much dreaded
that the majority of Europe, as looked for by the
Hooourable Gentleman, would not he awed in
favour of this expedition, but thoughtthe majority of
this Howse ought to satisfy any impartial man.
After having accomplished an achievement as eto-
Cents as soy recorded in the Aflitak of the country ;
and after the evidence produced in justi:sealitiii of
that measure, perhaps not perfectly conclusive, (a
load (5%16) he was at a lose to conceive how any
!lon. (4entlemau could refuse kts assent to the ne-
cessity that was shewn to exist for it. The Noble
Lord (Gower) had, this night, given the most tri-
umphaat proofs of vouch. An Honourable Gentle-
in lig (Mr. Ponanuhy) hail designated His Majesty's
Ministers, for this act, as shabby in their iniquity;
insionsting, one would think, that if iniquity WAS
decked and gilded, it would be more parcluasble.
He would leave that Honourable Gentleman to de-
signate this act as he thought lit, and would only
say, that he considered it einifiently meritorious,
under the present circumstances, and would, there-
fore, r.isist the present resolution.
Mr. VlifttflataD wail at a loss to conceive which
way to examine the arguineota•of the lion. Gen-
ftleman. He could not desist frost trespassing upon
the House with a few obaereetions, in consequeuce
of what had fallen from that Hurt. Gently. man.—
The Hon. Gentleman set oat with masking a furious
attack on an Hou. Gentleinaa from his own coun-
try, who had this night deliv.ired his opiiiious upon
that subject with a dignity and ability which re-
flected the highest credit ou him. The arguments
used to .hew that majorities in that Heuer were

of the Hoe. Gent. He would iuform him, that is
many instances the decisions of that House were

and without the salutary controtil of their opii.iou,

Mr. CAN tr ;so thought the Honourable Gentle-
man (Mr. Whitbread) who had just sat down, die-
tiuguished as usual as his speech had been with
talent, had indulged a liberty of abuse and invec-
tive as acrimonious and as harsh as be had ever
*Unbelted. This was the move extraordinary,
eorniug from the person it did, who, it seems,
does nut approve of harsh language, unless,
perhaps, when employed against an enemy.
He has fond great fault with what has fallen from
my Noble Friend (Lord Gower), who urged that
he kid discovered .au hostile mind in Russia, at
the same time a wish to manage this country.—
This he communicated, and Shia had been the key
to the measures pursued by His Majesty's Ministers.
He dweit particularly on the letter of Mr. Fox to
Lord Rossiya, on the uecessity of communicating
to the Court of Portugal the probable seizure of
the Portuguese navy, grounded sus the principles of
inevitable necessity. He still felt it his duty to as
that though the necessity was commanding, he
would not have sent a letter so replete with tints
candour, hypocrisy, and fraud. Whatever opinion
he gave °nisch a subject, never for a moment ens
