In doing no, lie should redeem the pledge given some weeks
ago to enter iolllldetuile d the course pursued by ministers ;
and in the affairs of the world, affairs+ of unexampled magni-
tude, lie felt the importance of the duty he had to rethinks.—
Ministers had pursued one Odin dCGUIIIVe course, that of en-
deavouring to preserve the peace of Europe, and of this
country in particular. Ile *mad advert to the state of Europe

up, the case of Spin was sot contein,itated ; however, ohms
the Duke of Vi ellingtou went to Paris, °Phis way to Verona,
as he foiled the case of Span lik. ly to occupy the diectiosima;
the Duke smote haute for instructions. He %rote fur answer.
that to any menace or force against Spain, come from what
quarter it might, the ministers of England would not be party
to any such proceeding.; and the Duke was instructed to oats
as much .thetiever the ;wiper tune at rived.. -(llver, hear.)—
It was riot expected that the case et Spain would be discussed,
least of all that it would be agitated by France. 'flie 'peva&
of the King of France, uo closing the session of 18 2, paeticu-
lady led to that opinion. Therefore it would be seen that Ma
instructions originally did not contemplate such queetion„
certainly not that halt Europe would be required by Prance to
join tier against Spain. The British nunieter was asked whe-
ther, in particular eilllell, this country- would cuutitenance curtain
support; and he declined to give 11,0111,rothetic answer to any
hyputhetic case. The British plenipotentiary, on the contrary,
demanded to know Um cause of offence. The question was die-
cussed at Verona foe weeks, and our minister maintained the
same position to the last hour of his continuing at Verona. Or
the Duke's retuifi to Paris, there appeared to be a disposition
to preserve peace, if possible ; -but iloWn to such moment
there bad been no contemnication by this country wills Spain OR
this point. The reason be would explain. There was a great
outcry, it would be remembered, about the attack!' on oor mer•
Ch Mt vessels by the dal; of the sinacknowledgedly iiidependent
colonies of South America. Decided steps were adopted by
the British Govet meat, and then a communication was wade
to Spain, but then the Spanish Court set up' obsolete rights
about constructive blockades.—Eventually, however, Si, W.
A'Cuurt succeeded. and hall a million was set a part by Spain
to pros ide redress. Every inteution was et Mord to afford re-
dress, and our Government was thus simultaneously pursuing
two objects--the redress to our trade in the colonies, and the
defence of the European Spanish dominions against Ewalt
threats. Afterwards, at Verities, Spain r Iled on the Doke to
interfere iu its protection; but that was deviated at such cliois.
However, the two, France and Spain, were iu a painful eituatiem;
Francs seemed to act as if war could not be incited. English
