subject was such as, he was persuaded, coubl not, by their
Lordships, or by the public, be contemplated by and ditfereore
of sentiment or opinion. Ile- would give this assurance to the
llou e, tlia: whatever might be thought of the wisdom and po-
licy of the conduct of the Austrian Emperor, in his present
fare with 'France, it'was purely the result of his own mind, and
not in any degrce the consequence of any interference or advice
whatsoever by his Majesty, or the Government of this comm.),
In the treaty no stipulation was made for any pecuniary aid,
'aid the loan requir'd, of three millions, was by no means to be
considered as appropriated to the claims of Austria, but only
as a. depo,it with his Alojestv's Government, to be dispersed Or
lisposed 'of in the cause off' either his Imperial Majesty, of Simko,
or of Portugal, as vircumstances might arise to dictate the
polity of such disposal.

'omen!, appeared to him quite hopeless. lle deplored the con-
°loci of those who directed the affairs of Spain in their prepos-
