powerfully comiteraets industry, and the evil of which a earl
he so strongly felt, were another war to call on the country
fur the exercise orate energies, and the fall developeaseut of
its resources. Having slow 'soder.' what appeared to luau to
be the principal topics introduced into the speech, he should
' nut detain their lordships snitch longer, lest he could not sit
down without advs.' to the reference made in the speech
' and the adds ess to the relations animist lag between this calm-
. try and the United St•tes of Arnetica—a nation, of which .
he always wished toapeak with that respect and esteem which
he sincerely felt. He learned with great satisfaction, that
the treaty with these Slates hod been renewed ; but in no-
tieing this topic at all, it was impos•ible lust to recollect
trensactions which had lately ecenrred, in the course of yet-
tein military operations of the troops of the United Stites,
and which it Reelections were of a nature to produce no slight
sensation io this country, is they involved the sactifice of
the lives of two icdividitall who were British subjects. He
alluded to transactions which had taken place in the course
' of hostilities between the United States and site Imitates,
within the Spanish settlements. Until, however, the govern-
recut of the [lnitial States avowed or attempted to justify these
traimactions, lie should withhold any positive opinion. He
. could at presesit only speak frost what had been published as
the proceedings of die military commission, •r couta.inat tial,
as.it styled itself, by which these persona were tiled. The
principle ou which that court-martial proceeded, if conies-
' 'tent with military law, 'was one which could scercely he
expected to be enforced •by such a government as the United
States. There Might lie a pretence for applying such a law
to Ausbrister, who was-taken with arms in his bands; but
. with rsgard to Arbuthnot, there appeared no pretext what-
ever. It appeared to be one of those staked acts of violence
which disgraced those by whom it ensvcomiuitterl. .He had
no doubt, however, that a distinct rep:amnion would be re-
ceived from thr United Stales, as the nature of On se traosac-
tious wistrinconsistent with the genie,' stud free iustitutiosis
of that Government. He hoped the proceedings of the court-
martial would be formally disavowed. With respect to the
i war is India, as lir as lie could at present ferns au opinion,
it appeared nut to be undertaken from a spirit of conquest,
but in resistance to aggression ; and the Inauner in which it
had been cuoducted and brought to a conclusion, he was
, happy to acknowledge, did honour to his Majesty's arms.
-He lied thought it necessary to make these general observe-
, thins: but should not take up the lime of their lordships

Misery,. the liberal view which the noble Marquis haul, its a
manner so creditable to himself, taken of the speech and the

such detail, it sees not now the proper time to mitt r. lie a.!.
Milted Unit it was the ditty of the Ailluintstraibin to endeavour
to effect such redoctions in the public establishment as would
phice the cull otry on a solid foundation an nova of revenue,
by hi ingine its expentlttore within its income. This was an
object which ought never to be lost sight of, and which had
never been isit of the view of klinisters. The redactions
whieli had taken place since the peat e were go rat and miprc•
eedi med. It was not common fur any taxer to be abolished
during tile first year of a peace; but since the last peace lii
less than 17.500,00)1. had beau remitted. Whether such a re-
duction of taxes at a tin e that the public debt sits so great,
indicated a wise policy or otherwise, was a question on which
he would set now enter, but the fact Wala sack as he hod
*tilted. The question of wir finances was one that ought to
ue looked ter with anxiety, nut only with a view to the inquest,
merit of our revernie, but the reduction of our expenditure.
fie (Lord Lives pool) hoped that it would appear !null the
papers to on the table, that no unimportant beginning
had been made ill liiis great uoik. It would then be seen
that the country was 11 so lllCalla ill as unsatisfactory condition
regarding its finances. The noble Marquis hod alluded to
the execution of our comitiymen, Arbuthnot and Amin ;
and the nation Mai aware, Irons the public prints, of the cii•
Camslahces in which that execution took place. When the
proper period arrived for dasostsiug this *object, he would
enter into the fullest explahationa. At present he felt the
impropriety of producing detailit which could not be delilies
ately examined. to quiet the mina' of their Lordsitips,
however, lie did not hesitate to state dirt the execution took
plat ewithont the authority of Alio American tioverometit ; that
the set was done withum their•cuessent, and even without their

that he should he precludevi front nothing a few remarks upon it;
and indecol that the exaraottlitiory and extravagant na-
ture, we well of the address itself as of the aut.:hes which arrem
ponied it, were calculnted to call for more rem ark, than he was then
diorosed to auske. lie would, however. of'st few. The Ilan. Cen•
tleinan, who had last /Wrestled the house, appeared ta think that
they had nothing to do but to express their satisfaction with the
speech which had been read. l'or hie own ',art he could not adirit
eau he was perfectly contented with the administration of offairt,
and knew not how therefore to join is an address of unqualified coo-
