George Smart commanded a British force off Cox-
haven. Tee person now in confinement had dined
with Lord George Stuart,- whet' his Lordship sud.
&lily tied nun he was his prisimer. The Porte.
geese at first treated this as. a jest, when an order
for his apprehension was produced, 'signed '' Can.
ping," and he was immediately takeit into custody.
He was not allowed to go ashore, or to see any of
`his friends, but was thrown into a dungeon at Hell
Boland, where he was closely sconfined for a fort-
night, when, another warrant arrived, ordering him
~ to be brought to England ; raid in coosequeuce he
writ conveyed to this country, and confined in
Cold Bath-fields prison ..' lie had there beet) shut nit
in a 110111aty cell, an&not allowed pens, ink, paper,
.or arty thing. As yet he had oever been examined,
according to the infurmation be (Sir F.) had re-
ceived. Such was the statement he had made,
which he should be MOO happy to find was Nith-
out foundation. . '
Mr. CANNINO said, that nepreseitt he could only
repeat, that he recollected teething of any :stick' cit«

Mr. Wnereaten was about to speak, when,
Mr. Wean reminded >the liteise' that he was
standing at the Bar with the Report, and they ap,
peared.about tot eritig into a discussion. • .
Mr. Wert aurien said, as the flee. Gt.!, tleinan
esvatt so impatient (at his impatience he Wire ,iet sure
,poised), he would bit down 'that the' Rep& A Might
, be brought up:
The Report was then brought up.
Mr. Worreetten said, that as the Repeet had,
now been brought tip, he would take an opportunity
of saying a few wordy ort the aubjeet. Almost every
thing that lie could IIRVe wished to Sii.X had been
„said on the preciding night by his Riot Honourable
Friend, with whom, in every respect, he perfectly
concurred. Agreeing rei lie did with those parts of
the Address rehriva to this- recovery of the King,
and expressing alleetion for the Prince, he could not
help saying there were omissions in it of which they
had a tight to complain. There were omissions on
many points, sortie of which bad already been 110.
ticed, but the while had not yet been touched upon.
He was,much Surprised that in the present leafy of
things, when such rumours wine afloat as had gene
abroad respeding the situation of I he' sister country,
that no mention bed been made of the state of Ire-
land. The only information communicated to them
on that heat! ei,:ni, that there was on the part 'of
Ireland a deficiency in the revenue. From the Ad-
dress, however, it appeared that the revenue had
been uninjured altogether ; and efteteadmittieg that,
the following notable conelesioe had been come to
as the result of the whole reed Ate reeenne was in
a more lion. is state than it had been in erty pre.
ceding year." One part of the Speech. atforded-
htin much pleaaure : he was glad to find that Mi-
nisters were likely, at length, alter so many ' hien,
dors, after so many disappoirenteete, :rood Mier so
mail acs of impoitcy, to take the 'right line' at
last, by endeavouring to conciliate that country.
One omission he much regretted-elite Speech Was
silent, and the Address was likewise silent, on the
euhjed of peace, and consequently no prospeet could
be held out to the courtlier but the pruspeEt of an
eternal, and consequently to us, an annihilating war-
fare. He wished to protect hireself fruit being
thought to give an opinion on the lawt campaign.
Ignorant its lie was with when) the plan of it had
originate 1, and ignorant ti 4 he was of the condud of
,him ey whom it had beers executed (foe, with all the
merits of the Noble Lord at. the head of our army,
he would defy any common , eederstanding to gent
from his published divatchav any thing like an heel.
ligible history of the campaign), he was dot pre.
pared to decide on its nitrite. He knew One a large
natty hod been sent from Engl red; he knew . that
that army had rnerched almost from one empathy
of the Peninsula to this others that it witrressvd the
tall of two great and important towns, without make
ieg any effint to relieve either ; that, on the advanee
of the French army, it had been found necessary io
reteAt ; that it had taken up a position at Besaco,
with a view of covering Weibel, and that Co.
;Mitre had . falters ; that subiequeetly the enemy
had retreated, and that two months had passed
,
Without nnyllting iiiiVing oven done. That it has
been said the French love been held in check dur-
big that period ; it was quell), obvious that nothing

iiheially made all the eacrifites likely to accelerate

peatedly by Lord Wellington, that the energy only
possessed the grOund on which he Moist'. They now
saw how great an extent of territory he had corns

hopes which they had been led to indulge. It was
possible all would yet be set right, and a victory
might troll satisfy those'who had Ondly anticipated
a happy result. This, might takeillace, but still hs
wished to prate& himself from giving a vote on the

could ever b 4 expe6ted in their :favour , had been:
made, Ito great end magnatiimpes effort had beeti
made by Spain tied Portugal for their own deliver-
ance. It was knoWn that Buonaparte had beets
called froni Spain to defend himself—or, it they
would so have•it, to becoMe an aggressor agaiest
Auktria. 'During many meths the 'whole of his
halve foee had been employed by the English hod
their Allies, the Poiteguese, and yet in all that
time no great effort had been made by Spain, with
all her hatred and hostility to France, of which so
much was said, to heeherself frOm the yoke of her
enemy: Nothing had
,been dolts' that could be re•
garde(' as attOrding a reasonable promise ofustimate
success ; nothing that could console 'Great Bolet'
for the blood'aed treasure which she bed expended
in the cause. In the Speech nothieg had been said
of the Northern Powers The Honorable Gen.
demist by. whom :the' Address had been moved,
spoke of the exertions off Great 'Britain as having
'preserved the throne of Petersburgii ; but he could
not but observe that during the progress of that
'camortign, which was dins spoken' of as preserving
Russia limn French dowinatiou; it 'French General

that in 18 10 a forei4oters-a vassal bt-Fratice would
leal into Sweden to become its Monarch, it would
have been said that die high-spirited Swedes wiand
never submit to such degradation, and that they
would rise to a mail to expel the piestetipsuon4 to.
reignur. They had, however, 'seen submitted
to; a minioh of Bonaparte had entered that king-
dom without opposition; without gaining any act-
vantages by war; he was ready to ascend the throne
whenever the Emperor of France shomd give the
signal: for this to be done, ancPthe SWetict, Mae

should find it convenient to remove tee present pos-
sessor of the throne. Such was the state ot Eu-
rope. r all iilo Great Britain had done, theueh
the throne of hostile Iluteita might be preserved,
that of friendly subsidised Sweden was irrecoverably
lost. :Would the Honourable Gentlematr, who had
seemed to wish that nu peace should be made till we
bad compelled Buonaparte to abate his preteesiuna,
sly, he s!neerely wished that nu peace should he
thought of till this wore accomplished? Could hs,
young as be was in his' politics' career, entertain
such a belie ? He thotOtt he co ,1d not. They
might be told of "" Pk:Witte apprehensions" and
groundless fears of our being (mane to euntinue the
contest; but Was it pelisible with finite tile4ll4 to gu
on to infinity ? Could the Right Honourable Gen-
tleman opposite hold this language, when, with all
the expedients to which he had sesorted dutieg the
four years he had been in power, to gloss over the
real state of altiirv, he could nor brit know that all'
was feehlenesti at bottom. The 'country, it was
true, wins firms() its duty, end liberal in its supplies,
but hoWever heartily they might espouse the cause,
they could tint' foolish the theaes of continuing the
war beyond a .ceriaiti point. He could not approve
of .that part of the Address which premised the tits
Most exertions on the part of the nation to carry un
the war, If the words had the meaning they seemed
to tear. Whatever he might think of the policy of
proceeding to a certain extent, be most certainly
would not consent to ruder the resources of
dlatntie
country to be exhausted in a long, hopeless,
protracted war. He could not pass over the coin-
'inerCial distress Of the country, which was fIOW
most severely felt, more especially by specu-
lators. The evils of an arrangement, once
necessary, which had sobsequeetly grown into
a system, were deplored by numbers. Those
who were once the advocates of this system,
were now its viaims, and had at length their
eyes open to the terrible etle&s of the present mode
of carrying en the internal commerce of the coon-
try. To the conquests which had been mentioned,
lie could am attach 'all the importance to which
some,thought them intitled. The news of the day
annotitned a capture of more consequence. The
fall of the isle of Fiance was, in his opinion, the
most important advantage Which had been gained
since' the commencement of the war. The others
could not- relieve the distresses of the people, es the
Sufferers could derive little consolation from being
told tic merchants of France were reined, and the
line of conchs& pursued by Buonaparte was highly
impolitic. With respeci to the cail for unanimity,
which had beenShrowti out, he thought, like most
other calls, it came to this---" Do you be pleased to
give up your oppositioh; give up 'your opinion's and
take Ours." Now, as he was not prepart.d to give
up all his opinions, not being convinced that they
weren't. wrong; if the same measures which:he
had been in the habit of opposing, were still pur-
sued, be should give the same opposition which he
hart alweys ftsond himself Obliged to give. He
thought it necessary to state this, that he might not
be taunted hereafter with having seemed, by his
silence, to assent to what had been doee. He was
anxious to guard- against such taunts, as the Right
horn 'Getitleman opposite wassvety fund of thsns
sometimeas awl hs hid no wish to expose hito,en
to the charge of having tacitly approved of that in
the first femme, Which he might subsequently 'feel
it his linty tocendemn. '

The CHANCEY:L.OR of the: Pcurauea, when
he stated to House, that, from what had passed on
.the preceding evening, he did not expea such a
debate, thought he should not state any thing that
would excite theirorprise ; and he did think that
the Hon. Gentleman himself could hardly intend to
conclode as he did because he, teemed to acqu;esce
in what was the imight betore. The flight Hun.

Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Whitbread) bay he concurred
in almost every word that had fallen from his Right

peeled that be (I he 'Chancellor of the Exchequer),

greases paimaind relnetance; the other by declaring
that he would, lose In opportunity of giving 'Vet)...

for of the .Exchequer) an opporstunty of taunting

upon, on winch it became necessary for him to"

posed to have in view, was to guard Monett trent
any imputation of having approved of what had

Chamellet of the Exchequer) had had most in view

was now making against the enemy: of Europe,
of the result of which he saw no reason to de-
spair ? Fur the eltimaic issue of the cosiest lie
saw no reason to. despair. When the State tal the
hostile armies was compared, and when the Com.

would say a few %yenta Hun, Gentleman

the Austrian war, Spam r had failed to make any
great effort in her own. cause, and that when the
whole active force of France was engaged by the
British and Portuguese armies, she had also been
wanting in courage and in enterprize. In stating
this, the Hon. Gentleman, from his own admission,
" that the whole wise force of the enemy had been
employed by the Allies," ackeowledged that a most
important diversion had been made by Great Bri-
tain in *our of Spain, If England had left For.
