ing, that a wonderful change teemed to have taken
place in the fentiments of the late Government, as to
Buenos Ayres. At firfi it was not w.n-th mention?
ing—thofe who captured it were not entitled to any
thanks. But all at once their ideas were completely
changed. They did not regard Buenos Ayres for itfelf.
Titey did not confider the advantage it was likely to •
produce to our trade and commerce—No I but they
recolleaed that here was a place for a Collator, Comp-

this too was a for t mute contingeney—a thing which
had not been fettled till that very moment. None of
theft offices, however, he was informed, had been
difpofed of. He (Mr. Canning) believed the other
Noble Lord near him could tell him that there were
fotr.e of them fettled. From this he had now to turn
to the inlitution of the office of Writer of the Edin-
burgh Gazette. This office, it was to be obferved,
was not granted during pleafure—was not limited
even to the endurance of the life of the perfon on
whom it was conferred, tam was a finecure office, now
for the firft.time created, and granted to Dr. Stewart,
hit heirs and aligns, for the period of 2t, years.
The Noble Lord and he (Mr. Canning) had oftee
agreed in .lamenting how patfimonious were the
rewards in this Country which were conferred oa
literary merit. But, furely, his Lordfhip did not
mean, that fuch a man thould be rewarded as they
would a corrupt voter for a borough, by a finecure
place, into which he fhould meanly creep, if puffible,
without any notice of being called to it. The Nubl
Lord had alluded to the (hare he and fome of his
friends had had in the Anti Jacobin. He (Mr.
ning) felt no fhame of the principles of the Anti.Jaco.
h,wever he might have caufe to be alhamed at his
own individual (hare in the work. The Noble Lord
had laid, that the place of Gazette Writer teas not a
new place, but had formerly belonged to three newt.
