was brought do\vii, un'the Bth hisiant, a eom-
muniCation had bee'ti in.y his Majesty's

alteration was made in the 11-essagt. wit ichliati been
previously prepared. It was also worthy of oh-
servation, that On the 2.lth of April, the vet y day
before the Address to the Prince Regent was
moved, the ratification had been returned to C on-
"gress, which t,o lonvr
_kit ..i.sters any &littera-
tiOO upon an alternative, the existence of which
they did not yet hesitate to affirm' in the tot
Parliament and the country. The Declaration of
the 131,11 of March at Vienna, -so analteppily signed
by the Duke of Wellimmon, was, in its principle;
•discredited by the llon. Gent. (the Chan
celThr of the Exchequer), when it was introduced
into that !louse ; although unhappily too plain in
its import, it was declared as not binding on the
.parties who entered into it ; nevertheless, the
Treaty of the 2:ith, which was known at that
time to the Noble Turd opposite—revived that of
'the 13th, called all its horrors into activity„and
to the eternal shame of civilized society, made it
the basis of the AlliatV Compact. The Noble
Lord kuetv, when Itattssorted there was an alter-
native, that the-ratification of ate Prince Regent
lied been trausmitted,• which if accepted with it;
accompanying Declaration, left no other decision
open, hot that of direct. hostiiities. lt became
therefore necessary. for-, Parliatucta-to iuterpose
and address-the Crotvit, ,to prevent the reripv.;tl of
'war, for the establishment of a particular Govern..
moot in France. - During the- late contest with
that. country, long and viMent as, it was, although
the Bourbons were the cause of that war, yet Mr.
Pitt bad never held it tenable that their rp,tora-
tion was the object fur which it was continned.

Were the question one abstracted from. the feel-

which it created, one could hardly SlippOlaa
stronger case of internal interference in the Go-
errument of any people, than that of putting as
,veto upon the Ruler who appeared the object of
'their choice.—Conid aity casuist separate. the two
considerations between the principle and the man ?
Was it possible to proscribe the imtividtta , without

purpose that the.people were called to undertak e ,
a war, and one, the duration of which Mold not
be preconceived ; although it was too well ad-
mitted, that the country would be impelled to
stop short, if it embarked beyond a certain period
in the contest--and all this to support an final hewn
against France. The signature. of the D. of Wri-

stigmatise-his -eliarac!er ; lfut yet, it had been seen
that he effected a mighty revolution without spill-

were to have destroyed his attempt, had ar-
ranged themselves under- his auspices. Against

would be his conduct if his career were suffered to
proceed to any great extent. What grtiinels were
Eli re tor trusting to his keeping die peace that were
'consistent with the views mid expeetations of the
perjured French Army? His present situation might
be called a re-election ; but it was the effort of a
large, corrupted army, tired of peace,,dissatistied
with halt-pay, uneasy muter the benevolent and
pscific sway of Louis XVIII. which was bottomed
by the respect of the other mantes. The prospects
of the soldiery were to revel again in the plunder
of other countries, and, to gain military promo-
-tion through war; they thought only of rising
above their respective, grades. Indeed, if be did
not shape his conduct according to their views'of
promotion and pillage, he was likely to meet the
coetempt of the army, and
,to become odious to
them. The Noble Lord sincerely believed this
must be his course. NVit h such a person, the
question might surely arise, whether the great-
est -denger wiss in actual contest, or in
bering over dangers speedily to be apprehended.—
Instead of the Continental
.powers being stow
found in the reduced state of peace which"was
their desire, they were yet in military strength :
and they had a Just claim on the French Nation,
who-were, strictly and morally speaking, parties
to the peace of Paris. Never was a Nation, un-
der. such circumstances, treated so well ; never
wits the garb of conquie ors 'so stripped off, and
such an endeavour to appear rather as allies than
foes. Those who saw' Paris at that time, might
have seen that foreign interests and glory seemed
forgotten for the sake of FOlllee'. The ether
powers hadatow a distinct right to call on the"
Freneh people to attend to the Treaty, which was
founded on the exclusion of Buonaleirte. lt,
however, the French people were so iiilatietted as.
to lend themselves to the views of Bimaparte, and
become a party.te so gross a breach and fraud, thee
he mem say it was 411flufortunate case; (nit if France
Were so dead to proper feelinge, the. war must he
with France, and it would be for Europe to con-
tend for its tiwe liberty and safety. Ile could
conceive that France, worn out wit !I revolutions,.
might prefer submission to un Usurper, rather
than make a moral effort in her own behalf, aud
that 1t hen hehad restored his army she would still-
submit ; but Europe was not to suffer France to
choose her owe held et action. Austria, Prussia,
and all Germany, &c. were not to be exposed •
again to plunder and devastation: It was right its
such an event to make the seat of war iii Fteoce
herself. The French army was not to find the
world a sacrifice to their profits and professional
advancement. If .they thought it their right to
disturb Europe, she ought to teach those who,
were so fond of war, that they were not to have it
exactly as they wished it, but as Europe shoehl
choose it. It was tinjest to suppose Clint the Ailed
Powers wanted • wee. The history of the times
since the French Revolution, spewed the clangers
arising front a cOntidenceie the pacific professions of
Bnonaperte, a ho weakly imagined t !muse' ves to be
safe by the policy of peaceful r,;lltious with

Thrseing pri.ate indivithat interests, and betray-
lug_ one another ; and the world could lett shew.
an instance of cam) moderation to that displayer'
by the alliance. 1 he Hoteetrable Alembee spoke
in .he spirit of der4lllll6oll of. the Allies, and
lowering the character of the government of his
own country.. Whea lie was charged is ith his
mission to France, whatever danger mighebe ap-
prehended from the negoeiations, he felt it a ditty
that all conditions should he lama fide inaintaiated.
The negociat its ranceproteeded on t he piaci-
pies of the Declaration at Frankfort.; and it was. an
object to slew, that if there was bad faith, the relit
would lie with Ftance. It Lk:French now submitted
to Butmaparte, it was not front theirown general de-
sire, but front t he desireaud power or the soldiery. It
by no means followed that the Allies were to treat
with hint now, auerely because they. heti treated
with before his act of abdication. A Treaty
might have been concluded with hint between
Chatillon aud Paris ; bat lie withdrew his own
proposition within three tlays, on the event of

The Allies made no proposition more favourable
than the Treuty of gaits. tt was said thot Bitotet-
parte attired more favourable terms, which were
refused. That was not the case. Though his
, Minister proposed such. terms, he withdrew then,.

he hod an intercepted instruction from.. Booms-
parte to his Minister, which was to have been de.
stroyed.in certain cases, which fruits accident it
was not so done ; it disclosed a system of perfidy
unparalleled in the transactions; of the civilized
World. It was dated Mardi the 19th, when
the discussions were 'nut closed,: aud when he
was undertaking a hazardous military operation.
and which might he fatel to him, when he
moved film AreiessnrsAube. "littonaparte thought
his success problematical, anti. gave new in-
structions in favour of concessions. The instrue-
, tines were in the form of a secret letter, signed by
the Duke of Bassano, addressed fo Cartlitieourt.
There had been many instances of breaches of tie-
,oc e• iations, but generally some defenve wee set
up for thent „with respect . to. instructions. The.
Minister of Buonsparte Was desired to conclude
a treaty, but to keep hack certain parts as -long as he
.couee the execution of-them being to be delayed,
. notwithstanding any ratifications, so that an um-

fah; advantage might be afterwards taken of them.
This was AI circumstance contrary to 1111 caper-
rienee in 'such „loaners. There was expressed a
deliberate intention to ratify -mid subs,etptently to
refese compliance -with the Treaty : and what
were those points on which this bad (aiiie was to
tarn Why, they were what Buintanarte called
the Once great keys of the French ympire ; and
which safficiently shewed what. hls,ohjects were.
The first ortliese keys %yes Ant wet p, which might
be called the key of Englaud ; the second key,
was Mentz, which. was in fact the key of Ger-
many.; and the third key. which Was to. be kept
back even after ratification, was Alexandria,
which was in-fact not the key of France, but the
key of hall. What better proofs could be given
of the nature of the mttn ? It -was clear he would
break the Treaty as soon us suited him. Was it,
then, unimportant whether this man was replaced
in power or In power, he would probably
soon' pour a military deluge over the world. Dis-
claineing the notion of making war against an in-
dividual, yet there might he as much on the point
of character as- in the case of a disputed territory
or a dispated-successism. Might not the Powers
of Europe protest against the- rower of an indi-
vidual, whose character would nut apply to any of
' the moral or social relations of life ?,'!'his feature
was more than what was necessarily adequate to
a defence of it common inteest in a common war,
The Allies did not proceed to any impracticable
or wild notion ; and if they stood fairly by each
other, this country would have no cause to cow-
Thry were united to support the arrange-
ments which had been trained by the Treaty of
Peace, of which nuonitparte's was a
part. The Hon. Menther's object seemed to he
to find fault with Ministers. He tailored the
Haase 10 consider what might be the effects of an
Address, such as had been proposed. Those who
had concluded the peace must be quite as sincere-
ly disposed to preserve it us the Hon. Member.
By passing such an Address, France could only be
deluded into the notion of an impression an the
people of England different tram that of the Con-
thient. With respect to the pecuniary support of
Our Allies, a distinct proposition at no very dis-
taut day would be submitted on that sobject, which
would not he tomtit such as give an amble facility
to war through our means.. Ile trusted he -shtitild
soon satisfy the Home,' that the proposition was
atitdiuusiv calculated not to produce-those effects
which some might apprehend. Great Britain
would not give assistattee to favota- the motives of,
war, but %s oak! act so as to leave the 4ttbiert to
the proper feeling of the danger and necessity,
by the other nations of the Continent.
Lord ALTHORHE argued in support' of the mos
tion. He doubted instep whether it was practical
.to destroy the power sot Buonaparte; for he
thought Buonanarfe might very easily. .conyinee
the French people 'that the Treaty which had'
been entered into against him, had for its object
not only to force him from the Throne, but to
restore the Bourbons. The mer=e ascendancy of
Pluomiparte wastrot, in his opinion-,,5,0 great a
mischief as the military kyttetzt in France, which.
seemed to be so moth dreaded ; ants what, he
would ask, - was so likely to encourage and
strengthen that military system, as keeping France
in a state of war ?

Mr. POSISONSV complained of the Noble Lord's
conduct on the voting of the address, when i.e
knew two days before that the treaty had been
signed at Vienna, and yet spoke of peace or. war
as undecided. That was not a fair parliamentary
proceeding. Why had he done so, except to
swell a parliamentary nmjority ? To-night, how-
ever, be spoke openly and diqinctly, and declared
the opinions of the Allies that the war must he
for the destruction of the power of Buonaparte.
i lid power had been stated in another place as
something to be got rid of at any rate. We
were, therefore, ‘vittiont any endeavour to re-
serve peace, tz go co War for that object. This
appeared one of the rasher of enterprises, and an-
Actutken in &tn unwise tifoile. 'flie most effectual
Ivay would be to try at the preservation of peace,
and, if dear Were impracticable, to justify our-
,selves to .France, and to all Enrope. The mode
,of toe Noble Liciurs• proe,•eiling with the• House
was objectionable and unfair:
Mr. 14,'LL-T.oi.T, in a short speech, opposed the
motion.

Sir J. Nr.wroxr, slt some. length, agreed in sup
port of it. •

difficulties anti dangers 'on each side of the ques-
tion, that lie never found himself so much at a
loss to make op his opinion. lie telt the full ad!.
vantage of acting in co-operation with the great.
uniss or strength tri which we were allied, and tic
•felt the' dangvi. t,f a systeM -which would place a
great military leader on the throne of France. At
the sante lithe, the -Mug experience
.he had had of
the micertaitl y -of the results of war, made him
apprehend that the prospects which now appeared
so prottlising might be overcast. Alter all that had
been suppOsed to have been achieved by the allied
fOrees, We now t'onnvl that all the work was to be
dune over agaitt.. He certainly did not place mulch
-faith in what was said about the alteration in the
pvinciptes of Buonaparte : he believed there was
still in his mind a fund of mischief unexhausted,
' and which was capable of producing the greatest
ealamitieS. He-thought that any peace with Bun-
naVarte would be only a peace in name: He fie.
,vertheless felt serious apprehenlions when be con,-
.sidered the uncertainty of all wars. As to the
particidarapiestion, he 51311110Sed thAt his Honour-
able.Briend (Mr :Whitbread) would not be anxious
to press it. Ha had probably brought the motion
forward Merely' to give the House un opportunity
of delivering Omit sentiments on the Heneral toes.;
Lion of Peace or War.
Mr. TtkallittY said, that if it was a proof of Wil•
domin balance the diffieulties on all sides, with-
out coming to any ennelnionT, the Gentle-
man-who spoke last had gi veil abundant proof of
that wisdom. It trertainly would be of great ad-
vantage to any Gentleman Who came hate into the
House, to have heard the Hon. Gentleman stating
the•argionents both for and against tbe
tion. He regretted to say, that-in all,the expe-
rience lie hatitil the parliamentary eondnat at that
Hon. Gentleman, the leaning of his nuind-appear.
•ell • always to inclitte to the Opposition, but his
vate was afterwards given .t.t) the Government,—
(A laugh.) As to our right of going to war with

•
rinoneparte, that was a question Which he should
not now enter into ; belt itS 10' its exi edie icy, he
must trouble the House. -with p few asereltions. -
He must, however,, confess, in 'the first place,
that the brf.ach of the Treaty of Fontainbleau
appeared to him to be, by no means, the greatest
of his offences. He had been driven from his throne
by bayonets at his throat, and it was re, y natural
ft kr him to wish to get ,back again. He was sure
the Hon;Gentlet»en at the other side of the House
must confess that if they were removed from power
and from office, it would be very- natural for
them to wish to get hack again. (A' laugh.)—
He was not convinced that France was at present
a military Government, nor did he know that it
Was by the military- alone that be hail been-
.brought back. to power. He admitted that there
might be some danger in peace from th.e ek racrer
of Buonaparte, but as he thought there was equal
danger in war, he should rather fry the chances
of peace than the ckatwes of war. it was well
known. that: our Allies ivere perfectly exhausted in
their finances, end that we were so murb reduced
as not to be Ole to go on long at a war expendi-
ture. If; then; the war should prove tlYl3llCeelli.
ful, after we had exhausted onr resources, he
could not see what was to save 'the country from
absolute' ruin. When the Bourbons were On the
thrOne of France, the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer proposed a peace establishment of nut lesS
than 19 millions. Now, it did appear to hitn
worth trying, whether such a peace might tincbc
Made with Buonaparte, as would not require so
large an establishment. France might, perhaps,
be induced to diminish tier armies, and enable
other Powerr-to do the same. He entreated the
House to 'consider that this might, perhaps, be
their very last opportunity of expressing their
Opinions on this great
.question, anti of avert-
ing the calamities with which this country was
threatened. •

Mr, Rost sem; believed that those who in France
had once been the strongest advocates for liberty,
had afterward& been the basest sycophants to %to-
naparte. He did not attach Mud) value to the
support 'theynow gave, as he supposed they would
be again 'ready t9.chauge, if circumstances cluing-
ed. it had been asked, why we should not now
be content With the peace of Paris? This peace of
Paris bud only been. concluded on the supposition
that. 13tionaparte had for ever abdicated his plc.!
tensions to the Throne of France. There un-
doubtedly was much uncertainty in the results of
any wari hut if this arguntent was now relied on,
it might as well he urged on- the occasion of any,
other war. It this argument was to he conclusive,'
the country intrA never make any "efrorts at all.—
11. we -were to have been terrified by the uncer-
tainty of the result, we should not have defentlM
Portugal, supported the cause of the Spaniards, or
assisted in the successful campaign of last year. it •
was true that many .coalitious had failed ;. but all
had not failed, as was proved in tht last_yeare--
The present coalition had at leastas'inoch chance
of success now as it had then.. Between forty add

Mr. IV..l'uLa 'wished to „acquaint . the House
with a single fact. He happened to be with the
Duke of Wellingto,n when he received the English
papers containing the speech of the Hon. Gentle_. man who brought forward this motion, in which
he expressed his opinion that the Declaration of
the 13th March, *hick was signed by the Duke
of Wellington, was an invitation or excitement
to the assassination of litionapatte ; and he never
