Laid on the table.
NA rt. tts.—Eail GREY ro,c, in pursuance of his notice, to
move for such further inhumation respecting Naples at might
enable him to flum a correct judgment of the conduct of his
Majesty's government. From the time the changes in that
kingdom excited a hostile feJing on the part ut a dangerous
confederacy, the danger to liberty and independence became
greater. WA!' that feeling. on the first day of the Session, he
directed the attention ut the Douse to the engagements of his
hlajesty's governmont. To the questions he put to the noble
arl, the answer was satisfactory. The noble earl disdained the
right of other I,nwernarents to interfere in the domestic alTaks of
foreign states, and he laid before the Douse a paper whicii Ire
said would explain the conduct of government. In consequence
of feeling that paper did not allied sufficient intimeation, he
proposed in the p resent Mamie,: to address his Majesty. praying
for further and more satisfactory communications. In our king
tha motion he conld not avoid expressing Iris disapprobatton of
that monstrous principle held out m th circular ot the allies; it
held out that no matter how necessary changes might be for the
benefit of any people, still on there: allies ,devolved the right to
pronounce on a constitivion to which even the Nlonarch of the
cotititrr had assented, and to emoice if necessary that right by
Lace of arms. 'I hat was the principle set tip in the circular of
the allies with respect to Naples, but if their lordships attended
;o the afflars of Siniln and Portugal, they would turd that the
seine principle had been bethre sanctioned by the allied powers
with reference to both fiese states. A British matron was placed
in the hay of Naples, what was that squadron placed there for ?

noble earl here Mira:intl, if states will keep standing armies,
what have they t i expect ? Soldiers will often become citizens,
and take part in upporting good and wholesome laws for the
regulation of society; the revolution of Naples pmves that sol-
diers are men interested in the liberties of mankind. What
would have been the case ot England if the army of the tyrant
James had attached themselves to him ? The noble earl then
adverted to the tree government enjoyed by the Neapolitans
under Murat. The first act of the present sovereign also pro-
mised them a free constitution; the people expected it, and

Were not established upon their monarchial principles; he wished
for further explaw.tion from the noble earl upon the points to
*lnch he alluded? Much disgrace attached to the country front
dm, appearance of narrow temporising policy ; it became his
Majesty's ministers to be most explicit in the delivery of their
views and sentiments upon conduct which he abhorred from the
Itkittom of his heart? The noble earl concluded by moving for
dopies of all cammuniattions between his M ajesty's government
and foreign courts on the subject of the revolution in Naples.
Thc Earl of LI VERPOOL id, " 1 can assure the Noble
Lord, that though I feel it my duty to oppose the motion, I
'receive with pleasure the opportunity which has been given Iris
Majesty's ministers to explain their conduct. If you are
'satisfied r• th the conduct °this Majesty's ministers with respect
to Naples, you ought to oppose this motion. The noble earl
has stated what passed on this subject the first day of the session,
and the whole of his observations go to slier/ that whether the
paper laid on the table, dated the 19th January, was right or
wrong, the sentiments of his Majesty's Governmentought to have
been explained at an earlier period. The declaration of the allies
was not known to be an authentic project before the month of
December. The paper tracsinitted to Baron Bernsteatl, to which
he alludes, was not officially known to his Majesty's government."
The language held by ministers in the circular had been used
in almost every communication in which the question of revolution
VIA discussed. It had been used with respect to the 'evolution of
France, the revolution of Spain. and every ease of revolution in
which his Majesty's ministers had been occupied. The noble
lord alluded to the holy alliance. That was a treaty to winch this
country was no party. There was no mystery with respect to treaties
in which this country was engaged. They were all before
Parliament. With respect to the sentiment of his Majesty's
Government on the affairs of Naples, they objected to the denier
sai ion and views of the allies, because those powers attempted to
do that which it was impossible to do. The question was, what
was the right of a country to make War ? The only right was
its own security. That was jure befits, applied to Belligerents.—
The only possible ground on whim a country could be justified
in making wat, was self defence and security. That could not
be founded on the bad example o another country. Wm. must Ire
founded on some more intehiglble object, for it' that principle was
admitted, It would be saying the vicious part of the world have
an inducement to destro, the good, and discourage virtue itself.
The noble lord did not object to his Majesty's government for
openly disidaiming the procccd:ngs of the allied powers, but for
expressing disapplobatum of the Neapolitan revolution. The
noble earl, in a long speech defended the conduct of his Ma-
jesty's government, and contended thar they had taken those
fair and necessary steps which the case required
Lord HOLLAND supported the motion.
Lord ELLENBOROdI;II expressed his approbation of the
