the British Constitution Were the —etl,*thei ix gradual,
nut of sudden improvement. It was not because:
we carried in our boson-is iteltimge'of that Otiosti=
anion that we should expect' to se it reflected
every-other country. Ir was to be hoped that any
-nation,r, whose intercourse-and ration with great Br
;taM :were intimme, would gradually imbibe the feel-
ingslif,Great Britain--; but it could not be expetc.ted_
that ißiooo bayonetted philosophers, would sudden-
ly produce the efred which in Great Britain had
keen the result of the revolutions and the 'accumu-
lated wiqloin of ages. Adverthig to the attack made
by anllon. Genetnan opposite, upon his conduCt
at a :late 'public meeting, he defended it from the in-

had:fallen Trom the Heu..Gentleman respecting the
appointment of a Britith -Minister to The
Hon—Gentleman had said, that this country had
giteni the .worst, proofs of_ its intentions tow.ndi
~pain by the choice that had been made ; and he
had grounded:this assertion on the presumption' that
the chargei which had been made against that Noble
Loid's condtra in India were well-founded. 'But
whatever might be the Hom Gentleman's opinion.
of thel\roble Lord's conduel, he had no right to pre-
-4111-Ile that the House or that his Majesty's Ministers
-would be influenced by that opinion. For his part,
he believed there could scarcely be found another in-
clivelnel to deny that the Marquis Wellesley possessed
all those great and vplendii 'enabwmelits which
must quality any man to at a distiniroished part on
the political theatre; nor did he believe that there
would' be found another inditidual toAsserr that any
thing had passed in that House by which the coun-
try ought to be induced to forego-- the advaniagts'Of

of a Minister of the _Crown making a 'statement on

,As it was considered fortunate that a young
gsinbler.should lose considerably on the first night 'of
his play to deter him from a repetition, so he ex-;
pressed his satisfaction that st hat 'the Right Hen:
Gentleman:sold at that public meeting had been
tnia-
represented, and trusted that it' would stop hint in a
career, so unadvisedly coremenced: , Adverting to
the extraordinary nntic.ipithin on the part of Austria
of assistance trout Great Britain, he deprecated the.
establishment of a precedent by which an admini.

cour from this country without the cOncurrence.' of
Parliament, and might afterwards - compel Par-
liament. to make good' 1116 advances sci Made; As
to the necessity which 'Austria Was under of -going
to: werewith 'France, he allowed there was a strong
presumption that she had no ahem:Hive but war, or
crouching:at the feet of that power. Any Govern-
ment animated by a principle: cif honour would pro-
bably have Mode the desperate struggle 'which Ati-
stria was making. Bufthis did not involve the goes-
lion Of : pecuniary assistance froth Great Britain.
Admitted, as it.had already been, that the assistance
which could be afforded by this country must be
very limited, he did not cooceive't hat such a iiniited
assistance could be of any utility to Austria, in spa-
: tome; her successfully to resist France. 'What Might
be too, much' for ns 40 give, would be not for her
to receive. Taking Imo consideration, the state of
the finences of this, count y, and iheitei:6itty under
'which. Ministers had found themselves
the ziystten .which had hitherto been Ipursued, he
comethied that it was peculiarly ' incumbent' on us

general, to husband our rest mess ;.'"iti order that, it'
the day should come (And beiensted it world came)
when the power so long aectimblating should twein
to crumble, England might becnabled to play khe
pm which he hoped she was destined to play,. and
become the restorer of a better order of thino-s.
