Were all on the spot, and had been, there since the

period %when it could be most qasily ratified. The

Mr. B. l'ivrituits-r said, the non-ratification of
the convent:lOn, had arisen front the p.:irdc!dar
euinstances of the time: the pasties. themselves ot:
"their 'Ministers had chosen to do most of those
acts . which were usually left to Arnhassadors ;
and the hurry or the importance of other business
had for the present diverted their attention froin
this particular matter : but in substance the:
treaty was already executed, and nothing-. was:
wanting but a Were 1:01:111. Tin the Congress of

in Italy as well as in I'landes. The emolov,

a foteign Sovereign, was .aid to be tuiprecedented,
but the case which called for their •employment
was unpreeedented.,- The entire, nature 'of the'
late events was unprecedented'; mid surely of'all
places' in the world, the Low Countries must be
considered as the last Where* the Etiglish Nation
could feel any jealousy at seeing itS'army -eutploy-

it. When, by the Treaty of Paris, AN'e had 'stirritit-
derd certain islands iu. the West Indies' to France,
we had no right to feel jealousy or'offqnce at the'
-French sending a Military force to 'take posses-
ohm of them. In /Ike manner, when Film-tee; by
the same treaty, Vail ceded Belgium to the Allies,
she had no reacofi to feel jealously or offence' at the
Allies sending ci properonilitary force to take. pos-
session of tee ceded proVinces. The valne 'of
Belgitun ic'e's not :Clog, if it was not for• the forti-
fications /which secured it. It Was evident that
those tOvtresses• must be garrisoned, and it ,Could
be of /to importance to France whether they Were
'garrisoned by our troops or those of our Allies. To
this couotry, however,:which felt sodeep an interest
in the. fate of those pr4vinces, it was mdre*s'atis-
factory that they slinidd be garriSoned by Biitisb
troops than by Atestriana, or Russians; or Prus-
sians. Although he thOught that this was the most'
