So far as regarded the great commercial advantages
! expected by the mercantile adventurers, who by the
acts of their political or warlike agents had compro-
mised the character of a• British Merchant, the Noble
Lord assured them. and the country that wherever
their influence had extended, commerce had consi-
derably diminished. A spirit of jealousy had arisen,
and the confusion which fellowed. had Leen produc-
tive of many calamities, especially where there was
a commixture of the commercial with the miThlsty
character. Merchants, however, must sot interfere
in a.military, line, tp . involve the Government. By
the,4treety between this country and -Spain, we never
promised% interfere with arms to effect the redac-
tion of the South Americans. All that we pre-
mised was the interposition of our good offices,
or mediation, between Spain and her colonies.-i-
In contradiction of the thanksgiving said to have
been given. in the churches for the retirement alt all
heretics from Spain (meaning the British army), the
Noble Lord assured the Houle that the alliance be-
tween the two countries had been renewed through
the medium of Sir Henry Wellesley ; and that the
King of Spain was aaxious to prove to England and
to Europe, that he wished to put an end to any fa-
' mily alliance or any family compact (the. Bourbons
which had excited so much Jealousy on the part of
this country. The common law was ineffectual in
this case. It could not prevent the departure of those
large transpotts now lying in the River, in a com-
plete state of war equipment, for South America.—
A's to North America, the Act passed by that coun-
try in 1818 had no connexion,wbotover, with the C•PC.•
sion of the 11oridas by Spain. "egociations were
then carried on rather angrily between the two na-
tions; yet the American Government thought proper,
under such circumstances, to put an end to the prac-
tices which this Bill'•was intended to repress.. 'After
every other country had established its neutrality, he
trusted that England would not be the only one that
should cease to respect the faith of treaties. If Mi-
nisters applied to Parliament for extraordinary and
sanguinary powets, instead of those necessary to give
effect to the common law, then, indeed, might they
meet with a repulse; but be trusted the House would
approve of the piestat mode of enabling the Crowd
to maintain a strict neutrality,
