bad already observed, finite a differeat thing, as it

before God, of the anxiety of their Majesties (the
Emperor of Russia, and the other Monarchs sub-

think that a more unnecessary effort tliam the pre-
S-Pnt had never heenmade by the opponents of the.

it would not pi ove injarions) one of a inure Ihn-
g:!rous tendency, ax it 'Wt.iit to excite a suspicion

grade that glorious alliance which bad done so

to which we were no party, alluded to is letter of
the Noble Lord's himself, in which,'saidthe 11611.-

Hari olmitions. In that mentoroble letter the Ntilde
Lord had presumed to deliver it kW his opinion;
that such and inch a State ought to be' punished ;
and the Noble Lord talked' too, in-that letter, of
"'the alarming and dangerous pretension of Russia."
lie Wiped the House would couple that sentiment
it;ith the stipulations of the, present Treaty between

out of the same shop of thote Sovereigns of Eu-
