titled to the praise winch .t lust WAY conciMed to

p.:lol4o6e of the nation, and was in some measure

feited. Look mg et the situatiosi of Enrope and the

Lord Gaits et FAY. rose, anti spoke at great length
nu the sufijrct now teeter consideration. He should
not have thought it material to rise and deliver bill
sentiments, had net the Noble Secretary made a few
observations on the able and perspicuous speri.h of
his Noble Friend (Lord Sidmouth). Had het
heard nothing from that quarter, he would merely
have riven 11114 expressed his hearty assent to
all whi h was uttered by the Noble Viscount.
Indeed, inch was the habitual state of the Howie
of Lards. thut he could not help benne surprised
thalami:ft a question, of re great importance t, the
people'a internas, should be discussed, when lie
looked at the empty beadier before him. But he
did out mean to intimate any remissness or
Winne no the conduct of the Masse. No; it was
the King's Ministers who tried to degrade the,
House of Lords, and brought the Bill now under
dile:meson up to that House in June, in the latter
end of the seteion, when they knew no discussion
could take place, but before a thin and :Maoist un-
attended assembly. It was for them to look ooly,
and it appeared useless for him to express his
seetenents on this great and important occa-
sion, and it was almost as absurd as it was
useless. Ile was addressing himself to the bare
Benches. !low deferent was the conduct pursued,
when the financial systi m, contrasted with the ism.
sent, was brought into Parhament ! The time
chosen was the latter end of March, when a full
discusaiou could be held on the measure. Ile and
his colleaoes acted like men conscious of inte-
grity in their conduct ; but the King's Ministers, mu
the isitroductiou of the present Bill. sought the op-
ortunity to hare it read mice, twice, and thrt e times.
p It appeared they would not have opcneil their
months nu the subject, had it slot been agitated by
the Noble Visemint. Ills Lordship very ably point-
ed out the difference between the two fiaancial my*.
time, and slieweil the great preference of the fer-
nier our over that of the premoit Ministers. War
might have been curried ois to au indellitite extent
by a system which wimild never have been increased.

He did not perceive with *lint eyes attune men saw,
nor with what thoughts they turned their attention
to things of this magnitude. The public also
seemed to hive sin slut sense albeit( snowiest ; and
was it not remarkable such a measure au the pro-
sent should proceed without public ?
They would lie better emplayell in directiuutheir
attention 'fluffier, so rineortant, than 01 mere tidies
about expenditere in detail. He reprehended the
conduct of the Kong's Ministers thronehmit ; it
was detestable in Ireland, it bas detestehle in
America, it was etotooll in .Spaire awl it was
now ruillotis in both Spain and Portugal. Ile
mom:lined the empty opinion he did before,
respecting the arduous contest in which we were
engaged ; it was inure and more to be con-
demned the longer it was iwriisted iu. No Mill
could be more glad than I self fur the restoration
of Europe., but the pro-meet was Mercies. Ilm
news of victory was billowed by that of defeat, and
the triumphant enemy was with 011 the Gore of
France ut a diatom part of Europe, on the beaks
of •tbe Menthe. The best criterion of na-

there was no likelihood of his military coun-

neral, the Archduke Charles, and Lord William
Dentine+, to Spain, where he might be useful in a
double capacity. Upton the whole, he rctommend-
ed to Ministers, above all things, to Isuiliend the re-
sources of the country. it was rut a dislike lo
the Government, but the weight of the taxes, that
produced discontent in the country ; it arts the
only effectual engine reiorted to for the purpose
of raising or keeping alive the spirit of disaffection.

Mr. CORWett felt himself bound to offer his
opinion upon the present necesion. IVe all to-day
felt u hope dawn upon us, which it would have
beets temerity, a few days ago, to ve ithlulged in ;
he heartily wished Nlioisters would now ask foe six
millions rather th::n thief ; and ke t spre.sesi
k•pe that they would before this Perliaoucia sepa-
rated. come to apply for the increase. IVe were
bound to make common cause with Austria, and
we should rather contribute money than men, be-
cause Spans and Portugal were only to be con-
quered in Austria ; he would say, therefore, to
lanisters, take all that call possibly be required,
taking only the responsibility of its application
along with it. Ile considered it fortunate, that
the event so airaiously hoped to be true had oc-
curred barna the Padietnetithad teparuted, as the
neeessory steps might sine be taken to enable Mi-
onstere to adopt a bottler policy than past events
might retail to justify. Ir, therefore, the news

resolve to come to the Howie to wk for a larger
vote of credit then that now 'culled for. •
Lord Cssranacsen declined following the
Ceoleral into details of the catnpsigns of
Spain and Portugal. which had been so, often dis-
cussed thiriug the present Session ; as to the pre-
sent ceinpaigii,. the Howie would feel it would tee
