our approach ; the same good faith and. disinterested.
ness which has distinguished the conduct of, Britons
in Europe accompanies them here: you will have no
fear of litigious taxes imp rsed on you for the purpose
of carrying on unnatural and unjust war ; your pro.
perry, your laws, the peace and tranquillity Cf your

suffer no infringement of their's. Rest assured that

The Indians have pledged themselves, in the most
'solemn manner, not to injure, in the slightest degree,
persons or properties of any but enemies to their Spa-

ther Spanish, French, or British, will be a certain
protections Not even an enemy will an Indian put
to death, except resisting his arms ; and as for inyur-
ing helpless women, and children, and old men, by
their good conduct and treatment to them, they will,
if it be possible, make the Americans blush for their
more than inhuman conduct, lately on the Escambia
and within a neutral territory.
64 Inhabitants of Kentucky, you have too long
borne with grievous impositions ; the whole brunt of
the war has fallen on your brave sons; be im?osed
on no more, but either range yourselves under the

as Well as the free navigation of the' Mississippi, gua.

" Men of Kentucky, let me call to your view, and
trust to your abhorrence, the conduct of those fac-
tiOns which harried you into this cruel, unjust, and
unnatural war, at a time when great Britaia was
straining every nerve in defence ofher own, and the
liberties of the world—when the bravest of her sons
were fighting and bleeding in so sacred a cause—
ben she was spending millions other treasure in
endeavouring to pull &town one of the mos. f

her last gasp—when she alone shelved an undaunted

va•ed from the bloody but successful struggle. Eu-
rope is happy and tree, and she now hastens justly to
avenge the unprovoked insults. Shrew them that you

them with merited contempt.

Austria and Naples, Lord W. Bentinck had also'
been a party to this species of treaty, and acceded to
it. Ministers had stated to the House, indeed? do
longer -ago than yesterday, that we had not acceded to
this treaty, between Austria and Nages,of which they
were not in possession' of -any- information, neither -
from Lord Castlereagh or Lord W. Bentinck. They
were ignorant it seemed, of the order for the mili-
tary occupation of Saxony.—(Hear, hear.)—lf that
Noble Lord bad not informed his colleagues of the
state of events, exactly as they arose, he could only
say, that there appeared to be something worse than
incolavenienee in it—that such negligence was most
unconstitutional, and fraught with incalculable evils
to thy public•service.
Mr. B. BATHURST hoped, that as confidence
had formerly been extended to Ministers by that
House, is the unavoidable absence of his Noble Friend
(Lord Castlereagh) and as the House had no reason
to regret that confidence—(Hfarflrear,) so he trusted
and believed, that such confidence would not be with-
held now. The definitive arrangement of the affairs
of Europe could not, he should think, be entrusted
to more proper hands than in the person of him who
already bad laid the foundation for its future peace.
He doubted much, however, whether the transfer of
Saxony had taken place, without a strong remon-
strance on the part of his Noble Friend, if in fact it
had actually taken effect in the manner it was sup-
posed to have done. At all events, it was extremely
prejudicial to take up a negotiation while in progress
for the purpose of discussing it in part. The ttego-
elation was not yet concluded, as had before been
stated to the House, and therefore the impropriety
and mischief of such a discussion as the present must
be obvious to all.
Mr. PONSONBY said, that the time was passed
by when the charge of impropriety could be attached
to inquiries of the nature now pressed on the attention
of the House. This country had now become a party
to the treaty of Chaumont, for keeping up a certain
number of troops, and accomplishing certain objects,
simultaneously, with a view to definitive arrange.
ments. Ministers did not attempt to deny the agree-
ment with Prince Repnin, nor the truth ot the treaty
concluded between Austria and Naples; yet when
the House was called upon to vote forces, and
the country was called upon to furnish the means
raising them, they were requested not to ask a sin-
gle question. When measures more violent and more
;flagitious than disgraced any firmer schemes of po-
licy, measures scarcely less offensive than those ot
Bonaparte, were in daily agitation, we were to be
reduced to the humiliating situationof saying nothing
• against them.
Lord PALMERSTON now rose and obtained
leave to bring in the customary Mutiny Bill.
