olbeli of ./arliat it et:obtained as what it omitted: • It:
ought to have spoken out the sentiments of this coun-
try. on the war which was about to take place can-
didly and clearly. Ministers °tight to have made his
Majesty use such language as would have added to
-the spirit which was abroad against the unjust and
unprincipled aggression of France upon Spain. They
ought to have put into thee:out,' of his Majesty such
language as would convince the Allied Tyrants that,
whenever they endeavoured to put down •freedom,-
they would find in England a most determined and
powerful enemy : but in this, he regretted, the Speech
was lamentably deficient. He believed that the eye
of Europe was now directed towards Great Britain,
and looked upon its liberty as depending upon the
part which she would act in the approaching struggle.
—He was persuaded, if the Tyrant Sovereigns were
told what they had to expect from this country in
their career of despotism, they would be intimidated
and turn aside from the insolent resolution which
they now avowed. He was glad to find that the
Mihisters during the recess had made every exertion
to preserve peace. No person would decry a return
to war, and its consequent calamities to the countries
engaged in it, more than he (Mr. Hutchinson); but,
great as the calamities of war were, those that would
attend the establishment of universal tyranny were
still greater. He did not approve of that paragraph
in the Speech which stated, that his Majesty de-
clined being party to any proceedings at Verona
which could be deemed an interference in the internal

concerns of Spain on the part of foreign Powers, be-
cause he thought this Government ought to have
communicated its determination to resist by force any
such attempt on the part of any Power ; and he hoped
the Right Hon. Gentleman (the Secretary for Foreign
Affairs) would be more explicit on this point when
he had taken his seat in the House. He fully con-
curred in the sentiments expressed last night by his
Hon. and Learned Friend, the Member for Winchel-
sea, with regard to the documents of the Allied Ty-
rants, and he heartily joined with the gallant Admi-
ral in expressing his abhorrence and detestation of
the principles they contained. His great objection
to the Speech was, that it was milk and water in ex-
pressing its opinion of the difficulties in which France
and Spain were involved. As the Tyrants were now
combining against Spain, time was valuable, and not
a moment should be lost in declaring the determina-
tion of this .country to resist any attack upon the in-
dependence of Spain. He should like to_know the
meaning of that paragraph, which stated that " his
Majesty flattered' himself that peace would be pie-
served in the East." Did it mean that peace would
be preserved in the East till Spain. should be put
down ?—that it would be preserved till Russia, find-
ing Europe involved in war, would pounce upon
Greece? If so, his Majesty ought to have been in-
structed to tell the country that he would assist
the cause of Greece, because England would not
suffer Liberty to be put down in any part of Europe.
He was pleased with that part of the-Speech, which
stated that the Estimates of the current year had been
framed with every attention to economy, that the Re-
venue was improving, and that there was a surplus
beyond his Majesty's expectation. He could not
omit saying one word upon that-part of the Speech'
which related to that branch of the Empire with
which he was most dearly connected. It stated that
the distresses of that country were considerably di-
minished—thanks to the never-to-be-forgotten libe-
rality of Englishmen. He hoped Ministers well
Weighed that passage of the Speech, in which his
Majesty recommen Ted " such measures of internal
regulation as may be calculated to promote and se-
cure the tranquillity of the country, and to improve
the habits and condition of the people." He rejoiced
to find such a recommendation from his Majesty, and
trusted it would be acted upon. An opportunity
would soon present itself of knowing whether the Ca-,
binet were united on that point. As Europe was
likely to be again involved in war, 'it would not be
inopportune to make a few observations on this part
of the Speech. He hoped Ministers would attend to
his Majesty's recommendation, and call the attention
of Parliament as soon as possible to improve the
habits and condition of the people of Ireland, and not
throw any obstacle in the way of any measures which-
might be introduced for its good. Permanent tran-
quillity was not to be insured in Ireland by words;
measures were necessary, the most important of
which were those which related to Tithes and Catholic
Emancipation: Such measures ought to be adopted
as would make Irishmen feel they had a country', and'
plant them in their own soil. There was mticli to be
forgiven, and much to be forgotten. Much had oc-
curred which was to be lamented; but all friends to
Ireland should unite in promoting its interests, and
suppress all angry feeling. Measures should be
taken to unite all parties, because Ireland, distracted in
the hour of peril, instead of being the brightest gem in'
the Imperial diadem, might be the cause of its ruin.
A MEMBER observed, that as the country was in
a great measure guided in its opinion by the tone of
feeling which prevailed in the House, he hoped-his
Majesty's Ministers would, at an early opportunity,
give more direct information than was contained in
the Speech from the Throne, as to the part which
this country was likely to take, in the event of' war.
The Report of the Address was then read, and
ordered to be presented to his Majesty: by such Mem-
bers of the House as were also Members of his Ma-
jesty's Privy Council.—Adjourned at Six o'Clock.
