Servizes of this nature rrformed in Ithe midst of
unexampled diflicnities : advantages so important
to the freedom of the world gained with so trifling
a loss, and through the .unshaken perseverance of a
single man in the execution of the plans which his
genius lntd formed, demanded a strikirg reward.
They have obtained it. They have effected what
neither the dangers of our situation, nor the necessity
of unanimity in defence of onr national existence,
could ever produce. They have stilled the voice of
parties. The Thanks of both Houses of Parliament,
proposed among the Peers by Lord LIVERPOOL, and
in the Commons by Mr. rERCEVALt in speeches
glowing will' the eloquence that flows warm from
the heart, not that which flashes forth, glittering
.from the mind, and replete with facts which history
will treasure with pride on her future page, have
passed with the unanimous and enthusiastic con-
currence of tha highest assemblies of the realm.
Even the reforming spirit of modern patriots was
awed into conviction. Sir Francis BURDETT did
not dissent, and Col. WAnnuiheld his tongue. This
unanimity 01 feeling, this burst of senatorial praise,
which has already re-echoed through the Lind, have
a prlce far above the Ducal and Princely honours
which the Oppressor of the Continent bestows on
his ct,nquering slaves. The voice of national gra-
titude xvill soon reach Lord WELLINGTON, and
thunder amidst the benedictions of the exuhins2,-
Portuguese. Unused to such sounds from his na-
tive land, the hero will listen with astonishment ;
and from his post of watchfulness and glary, view-
ing from Some rocky height the last glimmer-of the
French bayonets retiring through the sands of Spain
will exclaim with overflowing rapture : " My toils
arc repaid, my country has done me justice !"
