ou Ole throne of France; 41141 that was to be li •by sni port-
Let{ a large standing army, apd by a iitilitary alliatice. There
was another mode of supporting that object. and that was by
ta'...ints, large sums from the people of France, which the Noble
(Castlereagh) had called a trauquithaing policy. If ear
e •old judge of the feelings of the people of France by 4)11r
town, the raising heavy peruniary contributions was tiny thing
but a tranquillizing policy. But he hoped that Partimutid
winild take care to prevent those MIMS being oppropriated as
IFoit% of the Crown. without the consent of the Legislature
putt of it was to be given to the Pope to enable him to bring
hint his pictures ; or, perhaps, to erect a Nlonnment to King
Bluer IX. For his ono part lie wished that the preseht Cm-
*eminent might continue in Fiance, imt beeause they were
llaurlunts ; but in order to restore peace to that country oiler
au many revoltitimis. But to have that tioeconnicnt supported
•b. foreign armies was the greatest degradation that France

and shoitid there be it national movement of France against
this fo force, the overwhelming power of the ,tikes
would overwhelm that unhappy country, and totally dismember
it. Ile admitted that the iteeessity of security, or of self de-
fence, 541,11111 justify interference with the internal affairs of

tro.ft•rvisev. They had been told loy the Noble Lurd. that the
tsovercigus regarded speeches made in that House. in Its out Of
liberty, es ith a; ealous eye. He hoped the Noble Lord had not
given lilt ilf quo,conce in that conduct; but it was a sail proof
irf bail company and fereign travel to hear the Noli:e Lord
state inteh a fact in a house where he had gained so much re-
putation. It lion ed what the people of Enrope el ere likely
to gain by a set of military despots, %ben they could be jealmie

:Mr. C. GRANT defended the Treats. in all its branches.
There nes er had, lie WAS ready tM contend, been a Treaty <mu-
t luded which had done so vomit to raise the honour of Great
B..itain, and to consolidate her power hi es cry part of the
V.1./rid as this had dom. An Hon. Friend of his (Mr. Horner)
had said that the terms imposed on France would tend to de-
grade the Botirblins in the eyes of the Freud' nation. In his
s MT. (:rant's) opinion it would have a contrary elfect. The
I:!.enels people could not be ignorant of recent events --they
could not have forzotten the Scents ot• peace granted to the
Boit rlrins in Islt, •nd if they had now ottani( r fide, they could
tout fail to see, that to and not to the Boorlions,
they were iudeloi il for that fate. I Lard cheering. frons the Jli-
siiTteeicl 11.-ne?1,•.1,- The lion. Gentleman concluded, by giving
his warmest support to the Address.
Mr. ['two/soy opposed the Treaty generally, but more par-
ticularly that part of it which boon" its to support a force of
:14„000 loco ; hut stipulations having been entered into, he
wished to know why our contingent should not be forint of
continental troops. rather than British troops. Ile parfien-
tarty objected to t us keeping.. AS it were, uu advanced-guard
of the British arms ; and chlitenderi, that this aria system less
likely than any %%hick could has 4. been adopted for inducing the
Powers of the Continent to reduce their military establish-
ments. floc effect it woilid have that was, gising to the
rown of this country au influence dangerous to the liberty of
the subject.
