SOLEM QUIS MCBEE FALSUM .11IDEAT

LONDON,
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1821

in THE SUN of the Ist instant, we said, " The
policy of England, we believe, will be in u great
measure determined by the degree of resistance
offered by Spain, and of the strength with which
public opinion is expressed on the assembling of
Parliament, and by meetings of the people
throughout the Kingdom;" and we added,
‘‘ His MAJESTY'S Speech, on the opening
of the Session, will most probably express
a strong desire to remain at peace, un-
less circumstances should imperiously require
his armed interference with the affairs of the
Continent ; and the preponderance to be given
to warlike or pacific views in his MAJESTY'i.
Councils will, of course, depend upon the pro.'
gress of events." We do not recur to thew
statements for the mere purpose of shewiug their
perfect agreement with the declarations contained,
three days afterwards, in the Speeches of his MA•
J ESTY,Lind of Lord LIVEILPOOL, but because weare
anxious to guard ourselves from being misunder-
stood in the brief observations which we are about
to offer.

Having thus shewn, then, that we are by no
means anxious that this country should plunge
precipitately into the, war, before the principal
ground on which the hope of a successful issue
can be founded, has been made manifest and
secure by the resistance and the fortitude
of the Spaniards themselies, we proceed to cor-
rect a mistaken interpretation which has been
given by some of our Contemporaries, to those
expressions of the Earl of LIVERPOOL, which re-
late to the ability of Great Britain to meet a war,
4f her interests or her honour should require her
to embark in it. It has been erroneously sup-
posed that both the interests and the honour
of England may he preserved, although she should
maintain neutrality,—that she is no way com-
promised either in the origin, in the nature, or
in the result' of the contest about to take place
between France and Spain,—but that she
is only exposed to the hazard of -such an
injuiry arising to her during its progress,
as may require her, to b6come a party to
the war !-.—Nothing, however, can be more
fallacious than this view of the subject.—
It is not a question of uncertain danger
and prejudice but entirely one of prudence
and policy. Our neutrality cannot preserve us
from injury, unless, contrary to expectation,
Spain should triumph without our assistance. We
cannot escape the loss, both of honour f►nd of
power, if we remain at peace,--but, it is possible
that we might sustain still greater damage by
rushing into a war for Spain, if, from the debi-
lity of Spain herself, that war should be un-
successful. The only question for England,
therefore) is the probability of eventual triumph,
if she should again resort to arms for the asser-
tion of those principles which she is bound in
honour to maintain, and fa the vindication of the
national independence of the Peninsula, with the
maintenance of which her own prospetit,y and
Power are so intimately connected.

An unprincipled fabrication was put forth in
Nth as the substance of the Speech of the Kiwg
" ENCIAND. ,The effect) however, of the ge.

nuine Speech of his Majesty, which was after-
wards published in all the Paris Papers, must
have been strengthened by the very proceeding
that had been taken to misrepresent it.—
The Speech of Prince TALLEYRAND, in the
Chamber of Peers, in support of the amendment
to the Address, eloquently exposes the madness
of that perilous policy which the French Go.
venment, unhappily for the repose of Europe,
has adopted.
