The reports of the Earl of LIVERPOOL'S
Speech, on the first night of the Session, repre-
sent his Lordship as having praised the discipline
the French army in Spain, and as having
warmly eulogized the Duke of ANGOULEME for
the noble and generous conduct which he had
displayed in his character of Generalissimo, and
which, together with the manner in which he had
endeavoured to check Ultraism both in France
alnd Spain, gave a fair promise of what may be
expected from him when he ascends the throne.
The Parisians, and especially the Court, and the
More enthusiastic of the French Royalists, will be
highly delighted with this unexpected compliment 1
to their army end to the " Hero of Spain," from the
First Minister of this country, although it is not
nun), monthssince the Ministerial Journals of Paris
had the insolence to speak of Lord LIVERPOOL 1
ill terms that we will not now insult the English
Public by repeating. As to the conduct of the
:French invading army, abstracting it from the
iniquity of the service on which it was employ-
ed, there can be but one feeling of approbation
respecting the good order and discipline which
it has maintained, and respecting the humanity
arid moderation with which it has treated the

"oquered people, and in which respects its
conduct was so honourably contrasted with that
°l. the Bands of the Faith, of whom the French
soldiers are said to have been heartily ashamed.
4° so far as the Duke of ANGOULEME was Com-
mander-in-Chief of an army whose conduct was
thus unexceptionable, it must be admitted that
t,
"e
is fairly entitled to the chief credit for an
observance of discipline and of humanity that
must be presumed to have been the result of his
orders, and of the measures adopted by him for
iusuring that his orders should be obeyed.—
Indisputable as his Royal Highness's merits
are in these respects, it is notwithstanding
trenaely honourable to the candour and li-
berality of Lord LITERPOOL to have public-
13' acknowledged them, in spite of the earnest-
'leas with which his Lordship had deprecated
that aggression upon Spain which furnished the
°PPortunity for their display. There is, however,
°Re part of the Duke of ANGOULEME'S conduct
which has not escaped our memory, and which
de
-tracts somewhat from his character for mo-
deration, and renders the sincerity of his op-
position to Ultraism not a little doubtful...—.
