much
sheg had too much know .of of the character of the
French Government, not o foresee the result of heel
experiment, and not to make adequate preparations '
'tor the result. Austria did then make the most com--
plete arrangements. The activity of Russia too was
particularly signal ; for, on the re-opening of the cam
paign, on thel7th of Augnit, that Power bad as
Ana), in the field the full complement of men shot
had promised to her Allies, with she addition of a
large reserve, besides another army collecting on
'lter frontiers. Thus Russia had not only expelled
the enemy from her frontiers, but.having passed those
tiontiers with a powerful army, brought General
Bennigsen with a reserve, to aid the common cause,
and replaced the latter with another army on its fron-
tiers. Such was the magnanimous conduct of this*
Sovereign, who after delivering his own country,
conveyed his powerful army into the dominions of
others, in order to rescue them from oppression-- '
to restore their liberties. With that generates view
-hie great Generals, who had in their own country
evinced such distinguished capacity to execute the
highest purposes of war, were, in the territories of
the Allies appointed to act a subordinate part in the
command even of Russian troops. Such a circumstance
was rarely to be found—was perhaps, in every view,
without a parallel. It furnished indeed, a conclusive
proof of the lilmality of the councils which regulated
the Government of Russia, to have her Generals so.
disposed of—the most eminent acting under Prince
Schwartzenberg, General Blucher, and the Crown
;Prince of Sweden. In fact, no Russian General what.'
ever had a predominant command, the whole being.
placed under Commanders of those countries fora
.whose redemption the Russian army had so gallantly
fought--the Russian Government thus acting towards
the rather Members of the Confederacy, in- the true
~spirit of alliance and, honourable confidence-('Cries
of hear, bear I)—The Russian Government had, in-
deed, throughout, displayed a degree' of liberality(
only to be equalled by the valour of its army. ' The
pecuniary contribution, therefore, of this country, to
such a Power, employed in such a cause, was, he was
persuaded, not merely secure against objection, but
deserving of praise. Bit the contribution to Prussia
would, he had no doubt, be equally applauded by
that House, by the Country, and by Europe.- The
exertions of Prussia-Were indeed unparalleled, aact it

would not. form an immediate deduction from our
finances, amounted to one million, together with

with Ruisia and Prussia would, he ollserved, tenni/

not calculate that the expenditure of the country, 7,n

standard of the present.' The whole of the sum neces.

stated at £10,400,000 ;• namely, four millions for the
Peninsula, and rather better than six millions fa
Germany. But provision having been already made
fora greatpart-of this expense, while more was required
to fulfil engagements which were not yet in a shape
to be submitted to Parliament, he meant at present
to move that three millions should be granted on ac-
