of national independence, by military valour, the meat object
became the prevention of another war, and to that *vest he
looked with hope. He was sure the lion. gent. (Mr. Brougham)
weeld regret the warmth of feeling which led I,iio to an invec-
tive against oar allies, and that lie would recollect that against I
the atrocious individual whom he had &willed • reiplendeld
character," those allies had jotted England in our common ,
cause for the benefit of mankind. The right bon. gent. the*
muted, that Russia and Austria had hitherto meted a usisteally
is their conduct towards the different States with whine internal
assaagement they bad interfered, whatever opinion might be
entertained with respect to the act of taking military possessioe
of Naples. He was happy to make it knew* I. the Hesse,

further diminution of this lases.
Sir I. MACKINTOSH said lie rose, sot far the purpose of
'skiing a few words Dot adversely le the address, bet *pea the
selject of part of libel speech, of the general structure of which
lie certainly approved. The boa. mover hid already expressed
his (Mackintosh's) opinion so well as as to render it unneces-
sary to dwell eptw the abstract merits of the &question. His
hon. friend (Brougham) too, had added to the Impression, by
aitimadveruag with sarcastic justice upon those who claimed •
monopoly amoral end honourable feeling—against those who
died undertakes • war ageism the rights ref isdepesident states
—a war which was to involve all Europe, sod le effect most
especially the bower of the Crows--a war levelled at the glory
of this nation.—(Hear.)
Mr. DENMAN said he, he could have wished that the
speech of his Majesty bad coataised a solemn promise egoista
the conduct of our allies. The war was est *Oast
Spain alone, bat against the indepesdence of Europe. The
subject was one which most be considered parantoent to all
others.. The Hoes* of Cameos' would, he treated, lot with
spial and decision epee it.

Speaker, and carried sem. rah The House thee adjourned.

ADDRESS ON Tflr Karin SPEwst.—Mr. CHILDE having
presented the report of the addresses the Royal message on
the opening of Parliament.
Sirß. WILSON said, he wished to caution the House and
the country against pledging this nation to neutrality. The ex-
pression had been strongly need by the right bon. gent. (Mr.
Peel). He maintained, that neutrality would be impossible;
but the profession of it might encourage Preece to commit that
crime which it contemplated. With Portugal we were in
alliance ; sad he would tell the House what might not be gene-
rally known, that for Portugal there had bees established •
Regency" in P..ris, under the sanction of the French Crown.
(Hear, hear!)—Snob facts sheared th4t diMeulties might result
from the invasion of the Peninsula, especially if this country
were deemed pledned to a course of neutrality. The conduct
ref the allies was catboat parallel in history ; the threatened
invades was of' the alma criminal character. The Cortes had
been recognised by the allies • and Madrid now only saw the
restoration of that Spanish CosLititetioii which had been declared
to be the law. Bat how meld Russia, whose history was •
series of revolvtineary violence.. pretend to complain of Spain
en the grounds alleged f As to Precise, its object was, nut 10
much to put down freedom as to deateey the French charter,
and restore the nationel domains. That was the cause of France
arming. He hoped that oar Government would not fear an

appeal to the Ertglish people—fee great u were oar diliceliies,
the people would not mind their increased pressure rather grin
be neutral, when Spills was allacked.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. C'URW EN said there were some parts of the rpeeeh on
which be should hereafter deem it his duty le make some
remarks.
Colonel DAVIES also contended that it would be impossible
for this country to remain neutral should Spain be allotted.—
It would be the most criminal invasion thattad err, occurred.
—lt was melancholy to behold the conduct of the French Go-
vernment--ot men, over whose heads 24 years' adversity ap-
pearances appeared to Lave rolled in vain, who really seemed
„. to have learned nothing, to bare forgotten every thing."
Mr. C. H. HUTCHINSON ccmsidervd that the King's
speech was very deficient in many particulars. It might to
have spoken out more distinctly, It ought to have used that
'aegis's which would revive the droopieg spirits of this
country, and awed the ■flied tyrants of the Contiurnt. War
would andoabledly be a great celamity—but it would be ea.

corded by the universal tyranny of the emollient. Ile trusted
it would hereafter appear, that the midget of the English
agent at Verona would have been such as became the hamar
and character of this eiountry.—( Herr the speech it
was hoped that peace would be preserves in the East t " be
should like to know what that meant? He was persisted that
Greece could not be ovate*, and the Coastitvtion of Spain
pat down, without endangering the Liberties of our owe coun-
try. With respect to ohm parts of the Giog's speech, he
hoped that the ministers would sot resist measures to improve
the emsdition and habits of the people of Ireland, particularly
the otionnetation of tyiber. If Ireland were suffered to re-
ntal, in its present condition, it might be the rata of Magnet
empire.
The report of the address was Bien pet and agreed to; sad
