vereignty, o,^ had resigned all her tenrprests, am/
voluntarily descended to her forme,' level. If the
ot England had for twehty years borne
heavier -bin-thens than any other nation ever
knew, it had'the satisfaction of seeing that it had
.ay-oniplished it. own, and the security of the
world, unstained by,anyintereSted act. tioveru-
meat had not calculated too deeply the dangers to
be incurred in this great Contest, but had dared to
incur teem, and had left the issue in the hands, of
that Povidence,which always prospered a good and
sunnorted cause. We had concluded as conquer-
-ors, it was trite; hot as conquerors who bad only
justice in view, whose conduct had been approved.
by their friends, and who, as a triumph, had
been blessed even by their conqueredenemies. The
Nolte Lord having then paid an additional trihnte
of praise to the merits of the British Hero, trusted
that the emigration which had enabled lingland to
welcome and entertain the French Monarch and his
faithful adherents, would also have served to sofs,
ten those asperities which had for ages prevented..
the existence of perfect concord between the two
Countries ; that it would create a feeling of nm-.
tual kindness between the two Nations, and for
ever dissolve the spell which had hitherto made
them, necessary enemies. We had been candid
to the Illustrious Emigrants. We had told-them
that we had a cause to support which, wecould
not sacrifice to them, and that we only desired to.
see them restored, without the interference of fo-
reign influence. %e now only -wished them to
recollect, that they had bet:n hospitably received
in this Country, and that it had mot been made a
prison. The present situation of England did it
honour ; but what was not also due to that Per-
son, who, through a lamensed calamity, filling
the high functions of Royalty, had, by his un-
shaken firmness of purpose, and by his energy in
sustaining the Allies on-the Continent, maintain•
ed the great Coalition entire, and saved Europe ?
In thus doing his duty to mankind, he had also
fulfilled the wish, which bad always been the
dearest and the nearest to the heart of his So-
vereign awl his F4ther.
The Noble Lord sat doyen amidst repeated and
general cheering from every part of the House.
11r. WM. SMITH thanked the Noble Lord for
his luminous exposition of the principles on which
;the conduct of Government had been founded, and
for. the liberality of those prinpiples.—(Cheering.)
—He had acted like our Hero in Spain, with un-
_erring judgment, and had risen with the difficul-
ties of the situations in which he had been placed.
(Loud and general elteeting.)—He thanked him
for having justified the confidence reposed in him
at the begin Ling of the Negociations, and would
only allude to the sole point on. which they might
disagree, ter say that he now felt a rising hopeand
increased confidence, that under the auspices of
the Noble Lord, even that object might be attain-
ed. It mis now his conviction that if, at the com-
mencement of the war, the Negociations and con-
duct of the country had been directed with the
same spirit and abilities displayed by the Noble
Lori, many years ago would a peace as glorious
as the present have closed all hostilities, and saved
hundreds of millions, and thousands of lives.—
(Loud cheering)—The Noble Lord owed him no
thai:; his conduct had, he would not say ex-
torted', for it was not reluctantly paid, but had
drawn that not unwillingly tribute to. his deserts.
He would nit have presumed to raise his voice
on this occasion, had he not felt- eouvinced that .
be only echoed the sentiments of Parliament and
of the Country.—(Loud, general, and repeated
cheering.)
