I, G. P. H.

The Prince Regent, acting in the name and on behalf of his
I,,je,ty, thinks it right to inform the Mouse of Lord, that the events
which have recently occurred in France, in direct cotittavention of
the enguenients concluded with the Allied Powers, at Paris, in the
month of April last, and which threiten consequences highly don-
geloos to die tranquility and independance of Europe, haseinduced
hie Royal Highness to giie directions for the augmentation of his
Majesty's land and -ea force
" The Prince Regent has likewise deemed it incninbent upon him
to ;o*e no tithe in entering into conminnications with his slajesty's
Al'irs for the purpose of forming such a concert as may most effic-
toallv provide for the general and permanent security. of Europe.
" And His Royal Highness confidently relies on the support Of
the Hull e of Lords. in
'all measures which may be necessary for the
areowrietineat of this important object."
The lof LIVERPOOL molted, that the Prince Regent's graci-
ous Al. he taken into consideration to-morrow, and that the
Lord- be sommon«l.

Earl Git that considering the angmentat7on of the sea and
lat.() tomes, aid the communication with the Alliei for the security
aod rebore of Europe, as precautionary measures simply, he confesed
lie was not disposed to object to them Whatever might be the
views with which these precautionary measures were adopted, dis-
cussion, at pre;-elit must be premature; little was known about the
sitnaii:itt of things in the irtteriorof France, or the line of conduct
jut, tided to be pnrsuetl by the Allies ; and if the Address were so
framed, as not to hold him pledged either one • way or the other on
that most important question.:--peace or war—he should give it no
opposition.

Earl STANHOPE agreed•that their Lordships ought to be very cau-
tious how they proceeded, when the question might at length come
to be—peace 'or war; war which found every tiring before it like
the garden of Eden, and left every thing behind-it like a wilder-
sess.--The language in the Declaration of the Attics was most lior-
rible,tor the Sovereigns promised their aid to Lostis.XVlll. or any
otherebveintnent that might Ire attacked. Suppose we were to send
troops in Spain 10 assist Ferdinand against the'Cortes, would that
he just or proper ? He would submit to torturerather than give his
tailspin to such doctrine*.
Earl LIVERPOOL said, that the Marisa wnithi merely echo the'
words of the Message.—ln answer to a question front Marquis
Lah•downe, flue Nohlr•Earl. said, • Hate was no see'ret artiele in the
Tre.ity of Paris, pledging the Allies to support the itontbow in case
trf in rn reet ion •
Lunt GRENVILLIS agreed that•precantionary measures were ne-
eessaly, but as this wits not a time to and decide upon the
&TAJO alternative- of peace or war, he trusted the Address WORM
ft rn et!, as not to ININg that into question.. On that point he
ihvaut at present to give no opinion whatever.--Adjourned.
