THE SUN REVIE W.

(No.' V.)
POLITICAL MEMENTO, &C. by a Partianzentary Re
porter.

WTe return with much pleasure to the Politica

. Memelito, through which we had proceeded in
. alphabetical order till• we arrived at Lord'Greg-
ville.•-crhe blunders, the folly, the empty preten-
sions, and-the•presumptiOn of the Party becomes
irrisistibli luciferous 'when clothed in his Lord-
ship's lofty phrase, and sounding periods. What
was merely comic in the flippant and flimsy baga-
• teller of the Minores Gentes .(ttlias.lifinority) is in-

express-ibly absurd in the pompous stile and os ro-
tundum of this stupendous Leader. What was
his Lordship's opinion of the Spanish contest in

1809 ? In the debate on, the Address, be dicta--
.tonally pronounces, " With the Pyrenees un-
locked, and the road between Paris and Madrid as
open as that between Paris 'and Antwerp, there
was nothing which could justify our sending into
the interior of Spain thirty orfortv thousand Bri-
tish men to meet an army of 500,000. can
only compare such a measure to . the far-famed
march to Paris, to which it is fully equal in wild-
ness and absurdity." We have lived, thank
Heaven to see both of these absurdities realihed !
" Measures of vigour," continues his Lordship-,
" also will be necessary ; but these measures
ought to be adopted under the guidance of wisdom
and prudence, and care taken not to waste our
resources in quixotic schemes, which it is im-
possible to accomplish, and where failure is preg-
nant with calamity. 'Our army, brave and well
disciplined, and capable as it is of doing every
thing which men can be expected to perform,
will, in these times, find ample employment in
securing our own defence. Impressed with this
opinion, it is with the deepest pain that 1 reflect
upon the actual situation of so large a proportion of
the military force of the country, wantonly com-
mitted. in a hopeless ,contest, in which success
cannot be,the reward of, valour, however eminent,
and where a safe retreat is all that the most brit-
: lint exertions can. reasonably be expected.to ef-
fect ! !—I have no hesitation whatever in declaring
it to be my most decided opinion,- that if the system
hitherto acted upon befartherpursued, and the whole
armed force of the Country sent into the interior of
Spain, the destruction of this Monarch is inevitable
and that weishall soon be reduced to the same condi-
tion with Prussia, and the conquered-Slates, of the
Continent.'.'

In another Debate, about a week after the for-
mer, this penetrating Statesman thus speaks-of
Buonaparte's moral certainty of subjugating Spain,
and of his great desire to have all the British
Army sent to that Country to be consumed by this
Dragon :—" A most'horrible and atrocious usur-
tation nad been set tip in that country and, un-
ortunately, the Ruler of France possessed the
DI .ins of carrying his plan into effect ; be Went to
Spa in with a moral certainly of effecting his ob
ject, And, no doubt, was sincere in his- wish tkat
a large British Army Might be landed in Spain,
he having in his hands the means by which' the
great object he had in view might. be attained,
and which he actually had attained in the course
of two months—the subjugation of Spain. With
this great object in view, and a moral certainty of
attaining it," &c. In his Reply, at the end of
this Debate, his Lordship thus states his opinions,
and gives us cause to rejoice for ever in the happy
determination which excluded hint from office,
'where they might have been acted upon to the
rein of the Country, which opposite Counsels
have saved,:—" He declared sincerely, that there
was not single measure adopted by 2,linisters,
which had he been in their situation, he would
have thought he acted right in resorting to ; apd
he was equallyLpersnadetl, there was not one step
lie would have recommended which they would
have adopted. He did not refer to Spain alone ;
he alluded to their whole conduct since they were
entrusted with the management of affairs."
Nor had his Lordship become more enlightened
in 1810. On moving an Amendment to the Ad-
dresS, on the opening of that Session; he says,
My Lords, I have often repeated, and must
