SPAlN.peareßtary CANNING a red at the Bar, and pre-
.
aentea certain Paper'', which he said he was ordered by his Ma.

On their being brought up,
llr. Secretary CANNING said, that on moving that the
title of these Papers be read, hsu with the mission

gee
ofho theld , opportunityp afforded
tit?uLitit, by that formal motion,lto redeem a pledge he had given
le weeks ago; to state the course of conduct observed by _.,113 Mesty's Government, and the principles by which that cr.,. was regulated tot which
to the important and" corn-
te"c4trititl traneaction to which the papers alluded. In, ries-
char eR this; pledge, he was' aware that he was about to deo; mongarcr awful duty, as the confidential servant of a
aboutgr
to account Yi and the Mintsterof a free People. He w
the ~. unt to their Representatives for the manner in" which

honour°ne had discharged its duty, with reference to

Jvt.t. wee, jo general,. he hoped, easy task ; but in the-
Pllfresent situation of Europe, it was one of considerable
Oitude anti difficulty ; for the course of policy observed by

Lug ail' the possibilities to which the case was liable. In so
„c„°lll.,tetl a case there was but one consideration which could
trete4irtlti a Mari
situated as he was; it was the consciousness that
,l' 'levernment had pursued one intelligible object, and had
upon one inflexible principle. The object was the pre-
-B!_rvation of peace to the world ; the principle had been stated
tread flirtner occasions, and consisted of 'respect for the faith of
1.,......eattie5, respect for the independence of nations, the estab-
Cument of what was called the Balance of' Power, and the
rill
irallof the honour and interest of England. He would first
eto the recollection of the House what was the state of
iroPe generally, and England in particular, in the month of
slim)tetaber last, from which date the Papers he had just pre-
commenced. A meeting was held of the Imiling Sove-
tot ar Europe, similar to meetings which had been held on
.It.ler occasions, for the avowed object or preserving the repose
t'z I!;ttrope. It was about that time thaqhe had had the honour of
pets, "'ling, the seals of his present office. Ile said this, not for the
cl..,rPose of separating himself from his predecessor, or to lay
i,,,.:T to any exclusive merit in himself. On the contrary, he was
„..ao c that a courtesy had been extended to him, on the suppo-
LT'l,l► that he had introduced a new principle into our Foreign

bide With certain well - defined exceptions. It was but
.11,fftt that he should remind the House of this Paper, in which
iin_tf.winciple he had mentioned was laid down as clearly and
