had she now (having diHved-all the advantages
front the- contract, which she had hoped to
obtain), a right to retract, and refuse to abide
by the terms of the engagement she had made.--
His Lordship proceeded Most ably aid -clearly
to demonstrate the right of this Country and
the Allies, to enforce the fulfilment of .the
Treaty concluded with France, to which
_but
ten months ago . she was glad to owe her sal-.
..valibu. The interests of the world required
•that they should do so ; they were bound to insist
on the removal of Buonaparte for this ittason.
From his known disregard of treaties, he could
give them no security whateverfor the cohtinu-
ance of a state of peace. What nation has not
‘vithin the last 10 or 12 years tried the experi-
ment of a peace with Buonaparte, and found it.an
aggravation of the evl it was intended w termi-
nate. If there was one exception in Europe„ he
wished it to be named. What proof war there that
his character was at all changed. In his return to
-France he thought the strongest proof had been
given of the existence of that unquenchable, in-
ordinate, and faithless ambition, which was fur.
nished throughout -the whole history of his life.
He had been restored to the Throne by the inter-
vention of the military alone, and not by the
wishes of the nation. From all the information
he bad been able to obtain, the French army had
been radically disaffected to Louis, on account of
his pacific disposition, which prompted him to
maintain inviolate the Treaties to which he had
blteoute a party. For-this reason they had assisted
to dethrone the Sovereign to whom they bad
sworn allegiance. Louis had fallen-the victim of
peace—the sacrifice to good faith. A design
against the liberties of France had never been
imputed to' him, and though accused ,generally in
the French publications of intending to disturb
the proprietors of France, the accusal iou had not
the support of one particular instance—of one
fact, which could be received as a proof .of such a
design. • -He was driven an exile into. foreign
countries, because he was the friend of peace.—.
The person now at the head of the Government
was so only because be was the enemy,of peace;
for it was by the army he was placed ni his present
situation,, and that army would not he satisfied
lwithout the spoliation and plunder of ail burope.
Was it nothing then to place all the resources of
France at the disposal of such- a chief? It had been
said that this Chief had changed i But how was
he changed ? In protes,.:._,a merely. And were
his professions to be h lied on ?- Tile professions
of him wilt) ,bad never regarded any profer;sions
or engagements longer Clan till - lie found it his
ronvenience to violate them But if even he were
isposed to change, he could not. He was re-
' elle& by those same instruments whom his am-
bition had :-.70 led forth to spoil and rapine, and.
by nothir,K but spoil and_ rapine could he pr'e-
serve the attainment of these instruments. i-1 is
Noble FriLud had compared the Revolution of
America with that of:France; but 'there was no-
thing in common between them. The Chiefs of
both Revolutions wer.: extremely different, and in
the American Revolutionary GOvernment there
was no very violent changes from former habits;
fur the Republican Government of America was
as near the Constitution of this Country as a Re-
publican Goverommt could be. But if there was
a Republican Party in France, that party must be
soon very powerless, if Baonftparte_were at the
head of such an at my as such :i man was likely to
raise in such a nation. He now laughed in his
Cabinet at a Republican -Party; if -such there
were, and as -soon as the army ..was established
according to his wishes, he would strew them in
What contempt he held them. But in order to
do this, be should satisfy that army by leading it
forth to fresh- successes, to fresh spOliation, and
fresh slaughter. It Was proposed by the Amend--
ment, to provide security not by force, not by
armies, not by preparations, but by a defensive
system of alliance between the Powers of. Eu-
rope. But how was such a system to give .tettl-
rity against such a man As Buonaparte had
always proved himself ? ' In Bnonaparte's overtures
to this country, there was not even mention
of any security. By the dispatch of Lord
Clancarty, it appeared • that Buonepa'rte pro-
posed to the Emperor of- Russia to preserve the
peace of the Treaty of Paris. Bnt teat Treaty
left every material point unsettled. It provided
security for none of the countries which Buona-
pane had conquered.; it did not provide boo they,
were to be settled, and unless this was done, no-
thing was done. It was a great merit in tlie Ad-
dress that it did not pledge the House to iniy
nines on the pinceedings of the Congress at Vieuna.
Of those proceedings he knew nothing; but if the
Treaty of Paris was the only guarantee for the se-
curity of Europe, that security would rest on a
very poor foundatoli.—there the -NAIL! Lord
proceeded' to snov ;-hat poor grounds there were
to hope that a (I.4en, ve affiance could be prcserv-,
ed, anti how impos:ble would he its permanence,
:then he grew so exhausted, that he was obliged
to sit clown with eNpressing his most cordial sup-
pork of the original Address.)
The House then divided, when there appeared—
