which they could touch it, Had not the Right Hon.
Gentleman
,pronounced a Noble Person guilty for
making an official communication to his M ijesty with
a request of secrecy, and in what did the case of
the Right- Honourable Gentkrtian differ from that ?
The Right Hon. Gentleman had told them that they
never found fault with Bonaparte. He had told them
that they had often found fault with his Majesty's
Ministers, and asked whether they had ever, in any in-
stance, blamed the conduct of Bonaparte for having
been foiled and defeated at Acre ? But what had that
House to do with'Bonaparte ? Their business was
not with Bonaparte; his projects, or his failures, but
with the Right Honourable Gentleman and the Nohlpti
Lord; but, above all, with the Right Honourable
Gentleman, for the manner in which he had sonduc.
ted himself, in leaving the management of thq,cata4-
paign in the hands of,a person whomhe had die
as incapable. The Noble Lord had und
conducted the Expedition, supposing himself, comps-:.
tent to it : the Right Honourable,Gentleman, media
contrary, suffered a person to undertake a measure of
so much importance to the interests and honottiof
the nation, whom he looked upon as incompetent...,-
(Hear, hear.)—The Noble Lord was responsible for
the failure of the Expedition ; the Right Honourable
Gentleman was responsible for having suffered it to,
be conducted by one whom he thought incapable,
and in whose management it had ultimately
The Right Honourable Gentleman had entered into
a long and fanciful detail of observations respecting
the balance of power in Europe, a system which had
altogether vanished from the political world. There
was no longer any possibility of such a combination
'in Europe, as in these times could be looked to with
any gool prospect of restoring the lost equilibrium.
After ridiculing in unqualified terms the idea of an
Expedition directed to the Adriatic and Trieste, and
bestowing nearly equal ridicule on the notion of an
Expedition to the North of Germany, the Right Ho-
nourable Gentleman then took credit to himself, and
the Government of which he had been a Member,
for their humanity and forbearance in not exciting or
encouraging an insurrection in any part of the Conti-
nent, which they had not the means of supporting; as
if any such considerations had influenced their con-
duct in abstaining from such a proceeding. Oh! those
tender lambs of Copenhagen ! Oh those humane and
merciful souls, who shrunk from the cruelty of ex,
citing to insurtection those unfortunate persons who
may have been disposed to rise against their rulers, but
who could not rise with effect ! What an overflow
of human kindness it must have been which could
make them abstain from the atrocity of stirring up to
'fruitless efforts an unruly population, even though for
an object which they themselves looked upon as im-
portant ? It could -not be denied that the moment
was favourable for an attack upon Bonaparte, at a
time when his forces had been withdrawn from the

coast and the interior, and when his fortune had been
balanced, and his fate suspended on tfle Danube.—
Both the Noble Lord and the Honourable General
opposite (Craufurd) had asserted, that the people in
the North of Germany would rise ; they had also
stated, that Bonapare had lost 50,000 men at- the
battle of Asperne. Could it be doubted, that if an
army of 40,000 British troops had been landed in the
North of Germany, it would have turned the fortune
of the campaign, if there was any ground for expec-
ting an insurrection in the North—an expectation
which he never entertained ? But if there had been
any reason to calculate on such an insurrection,
he would ask whether a British army of forty
thousand mei:4,41144. at that . period, in that quar-
ter, would not;ltairii ,airorded the bast prospect of
overturning the fortu le" and power of Bonaparte ?
—The Noble Lord hal talked in a strain of boasting,
of his projects, and the operations which had been in
contemplation. . But after the evidence they had'
iheard, they be rnust sensible that it was their poverty
alone that kept, their forces at
.home. To this fact
they had the conclusive evidence of Mr. Fluskisson---;
evidence to which he begged to call the most serious
attention of the House, but which the Right Hon.
Gentleman from the nature of . his observations,
seemed neither to have heard nor read. It was of
no signification whether they had 100,000 disposea-
ble troops or not ; whether an opportunity piesented
itself for employing them with effect on -the Ciro-

nent or not; whatevel opinion might lis,eptertai? .

had declared to the tinke of Portland, and afterwards, -
for fear of mistake, had gene to declare to the King,
that the Minister entrusted with its conduct was in-
competent to his situation. The Right Honourable
Gentleman had favoured them with an explanation
of the vote which he intended to give, and taken cre-
dit to himself for voting against the resolution censu-
ring the policy of the Expedition to the Scheldt.— :
But where was the merit in that ? Was not the Right
Honourable Gentleman, in giving th,,t vote, pro- .
moting his own defence, he having been one of the
1 prime movers and abetters of the Expedition ? Batt
should never be forgotten, that on the day when the
intelligence of Lord Ch sham having abandoned the
1 further prosecution of the ulterior objects of the Ex-
i-pedition had been received—on the day when the ac.
I counts werelbrought of the retreat of Lord Welling-
ton's a
amore, that, notwithstanding the battle of
Talaeoes, altoonl4. not maintain its position--on the
Ave wheel we were informed of the result of the
filio)ishonnd enprofitable Expedition against Ischia
and.Psucida,-e result Which any man of sense must
, have anticipated—on 'that day, when the Cabinet.
i,was overwhelmed with an accumulation of disastrous
intelligenceoindlerleeonsly perplexed about the best
means of ektricaung the country from the difficulties
in which ie-was.involved—..en that-very day -the-Right
Hon. Gentlemart.called epon the Duke of Portland To
fulfil his promise respecting the removal of the Noble
Lord, offering the alternative of his own resignation.
At a time when the R kin Pon. Gentleman must have
been aware that the Noble Lord who had planned and
conducted the Expedition, must be the most
.proper
person to eeperintend the measures necessafy respect.. .
ing the retreat and security of the army, one might -
have supposed that the Right Hon. Gentleman would
have some regard to the situation of his colleagues
and of_the country. But no—the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman had no mercy for colleagues : in the pursuit of --
his own views of ambition, he cared not what embar-
rassment he brought upon them or uponehe country—
" Hot, cold, wet, and, dry,
" All contend for mastery ;
" But he threw Chaos in !"
The Right Hon. Gentleman sought the highest offi-
cial station in the Administration, in which he was
disappointed; and the intrigues that followed brought
the Marquis Wellesley into the office which' that.
Right Hon. Gentleman held at the time when lie
wished to introduce that Noble Lord into another.--
When the Right Hon. Gentleman had sp conducted
himself, he was not surprised at the vote which ire*
meant to give. On the contrary, he should have been
much surprised if he could have been tempted to vote
against his former colleagues. The Right Honoura-
ble Gentleman had quoted some passages from the
Moniteur, to shew that Antwerp was not in a state of
defence at the time the Expedition sailed. He had
also told them, that this town was the darling object
of Bonaparte's attention ; that it had been made by
him a grand emporium of commerce, and a great
naval depot ; and then winding himself o an hyper-
bole, the Right Hon. Gentleman asserted that one-
third of the Customs duties of France were collected
in the port of Antwerp ; that so much support was
derived to the tyranny of France from that city, was
it credible then that Bonaparte would- have left so
important a place without adequate means of de-
fence ? Antwerp- had been acknowledged by the
Hon. General, the Noble Lord, and the Right Ho-
nourable Gentleman, to have been the best object for
the Expeditioh ; and yet the Right 'Hon. Gentleman
had stated, that the Antwerpers were, perhaps, the
only people in the dominions of France that had most.
reason to bless the accidental circumstances that
made them prosper under the government of France.
—lt had been contended that the Expedition had ef. -
fected a powerful diversion in favour of Austria ; yet
the evidence strewed that it could never have led to
protracted operations. The evidence of Mr. Huskis-
son proved clearly that the Expedition could not haye
'been sent to Germany or Italy for want of money.—
.So that after all it was only Antwerp, and the arse-
,uals there and in Walcheren, including, perhaps the
...retention of Walcheren, that could have been the ob-
jects of the Expedition. What diversion could arise
,from such operations in support of Austria? • The
Right Honourable Gentleman had asserted, that we
were,:hot bound to give assistance to Austria ; but
svibeff,that !sewer had determined to make an effort
against' France, it was clear that she ought to have
been supported. it

the Right Honourable Gentleman then abstain frotn
calaineiating the brave soldiers, but attribfite, as he
ooght, all the sufferings of the Prussian Monarchy
to the incapacity of their Rulers and Commanders.
r-The Right Honourable Gentleman had quoted
tome passages from 'a speech of his extracted from a
London print into the Moniteur, as if some terrible
pueishment should be inflicted by the French Ruler
'on his subjects in consequence. The Honourable

'into Holland, all the towns 'alluded to had opened

'Lord and the Right Honourable Gentleman had said,
that they had not expected so much resistance as had
been encountered. He was sorry to conple the Noble
Lord with the Right Honourable Gentleman, but in
.answering an argument urged by both, however rt.
luctantly, he was obliged to -couple them: The Hon.
