strongly expressed his opinion that it wits wholly tort of the question
to think of his Grace ever being at the head of the Governmeot.The
union of the whole power of the countiy, civil and military, in. the
same hand, would he wholly incompatible with a free Constitution,
and nothing meld induce him to at rve under a Government so con..
atituted.) The Noble Marquis, in concluding his speech, again re-
ferred ;p the declaration or the Noble Earl (Dudley), made last
Autumn—that he never would consent to take office with those
who bad persecuted to death his late Friend, Mr. Canning. lie
only wished to know to whom was that declaration meant to refer ?
lie *rat the more anxious to receive an explanation on this point,
sett would enable hint to understand the principle oss which the
preonn.Government was founded.
C,a'rlJl, UDLEY rose, in answer to the observations
of the Noble Lord opposite, to state the two grounds,
had formed the reasons that goverued hiss
conduct. First of all, he, should speak with regard to
those peculiar and.p,ersonal grounds. which it seemed to..
be supposed ought to have influenced his conduct; aa4
secondly,
.with respect to those pilitical and public
grounds on which men in official stations were gene.
rally_expected to act, On both these grounds be should
. say a few, and but, a few, words. ,And, first, as to the
peculiar grounds arising out of personal attachment,
. which, as he learnt from. the .NAle.Marquis opposite,
onght, in the judgment
.of that Noble ,Marquis, to
have.prevented him from taking office under the
present Administration ;.it was stated, that. there were
,certain persons now in-the Government, mho, soon
rdcer. t4e, formation of the late Cahinet, had used
angre.espressions towards *he Members of that Cabi-
net, and.particulsrly towards its illustrious head ; and
. it .11(0, therefore said, that as he had been a Member
Pf Tibet - Cehinet, . and had acted under its leader, he
Poeht.trai.have . declined participating in the present
Admjnistration..Noir he.weold ask their Lordships.whe.
icier the.enemor yof such ezpressions.ought to be revived?
and.whether,tlese were, or ought to be, any such plea
as, the sacreJ duty of immortal zing hatred ; and wire-
ther.the grounds of public action ought .always to be
(40041 ed no private enmity or pti 'ate friendship ? He
tv.01.14. ask under ooy eircurostai ,ces, but more especially
teith regard to those of public life, whether, looking to
the examples of history, and of the greatest. men in it,
those examples maintained the propriety or the pro-
deoce of cherishing sentiments of private friendship,
with the view of .tosteting.tho,se- of political hostility?
He would ask, with reference to a recent exampleof
that
.kind,whether there ever had he n feelings more op-
posite; whether there ever had been sentiments more dif-
le ins from oach other,or opinions more at variance than
Close which characterized. the differenceslainforttutatolf
um,entinly political) between two Statesinen,.one of whom after,
wards acted under the other, and succeeded him in his office? Yet,
noesolthstandlng the example afforded by the conduct of that No*
Lord and ihit Right Honourable Gentleman (Lord Castkreash
and Mr. Canning), what was the lesson of the Noble Marquis
opposite? For himself he must say, .that although he had Wits
nessed those differences with pain, be bad afterwards
.seen their
disunion at in end ; and be had been happy in obscrylig that, they
had forgotten their hostility, and had openly .joined, and *nod,
With cordiality and sincerity, in 'their political relitions--actiqg
together with all the same frankness and kindness as if their eft
'ate intercourse bad never been disturbed by unfriendly,feelhags.
After such an example, was it from the Noble Marquis.opposit
that he was to learn the lesson of uncompromising hostility ?
eertandy.had been united to the Right Hon. Gentleman by private
friendship ; he certainly had been bouqd to hini.by gratitude, if the
station in.which he had been placed was an ,object of ambit'.
which every individual must be personally gratified in obtaining
akberii, and he might now refer to himself. Whilst the unhappy
corselet which took place in the course of last Session was going
between a certain Noble Lord and the Right Hon. Gentleman,
then at the head of the Government, be (Rad Dudley) maintained
hit intimacy with that Noble Lord, although be formed part of
ttreOppostrion to that Government of .which the Right Honour-
a'tierventkman was at the head, and of which he (Earl Hadley)
bad been a Member. lie slid, therefore, see no grounds of a
perMnal nature sefficiently strong to justify hint in disconnect-
ing himself from the Government. Be should now say, one
Word upon the political and public groinds on which his course
bid 'been adopted. Among political men he bad always under-
stood' that a conscientious difference on important points wee
the Poly matter on which political opposition ought to be.
Whether it was or was not, he certainly should be the last to mom*
go 'any Imputation, or to concur in any disrespectful obseroadon oriel
the memory of that Right Hon. Gentlemen; but he had asked hags!,
self (and he answered the question conscientiously) what course he
troadd pursue, and be had seen nothing which in his opinion, ought to
have prevented hint from receding to the government, since be felt
certain that there was no muter of personal feeling which could
have justified his refusal. lie had given one instance in the example
founded ; but it seemed to •be supposed thit he could not luxe

tbet bad preceded it, neon* upon that goodie; and that was the
groond of 'be communication betvreeti the Noble Duke maw
at the head of the Govetomeot and himself. That Dfcible Dolts
had stated, that he was inclioed tq observe the same fair sod
complete neutrality on the Catholic Question which had been
observed by the two preceding Cabinets. With regard to amehet
point—namely, the foreign policy sof the country—the Meek
Duke bad also declared, that having found, by the councils 04
his predecessors, that his Majesty was bound by treaty to per-
form certain agreements entered into with other Powers, he
spontaneously, and as part, of his duty, would ntaintaiu and per-
form those agreements, from a proper regard for the honour of
his Master and the interests of the country. lie (Karl Dudley)
was, thetefore justified in. sayisrg, that stipulations of the kind
he bad alluded to there were none.; but the understanding. and
agreement were complete, and with these be bad not fork ashamed
to retain under the present Government the situation which be.
had held under the last.

has mid Abet iit would be most unwise to attempt to colluder
.etbatage the.real merit, of tilts important question, without haw-
ingrfirst obtained all the documents which have been asked for
to-night, and .indeed •I should say, without having also seen
others relating to the same subject which both before and shim
bane come into the Office of the Secretary for Foreign Affairs...—
In the mmerealsde, I think that this House mid the people
cannot more-usefully employ their time than in considering the
grounds on which -their judgment will be given when those papers
Mute been peoduced. • Tbe Noble and 'Learned Lord on the Creel
Bench ought nut to accuse me of forming a hearty judgment, or of
anticipating ;conclusions, because I have bad the opportunity
of knowing those circumstances, which a perusal of these papers
alone can frunida ; .but I fear he is liable to the accusation, for
at the moment when he was reproaching those who could be
guilty of anticipating conclusions, he himself pronounced an opi-
nion on the conduct and judgment of Sir Edward Codrinstos,
when that gallant Officer entered the Bay of Na.varin' which
judgment, I most solemnly declare, no one man will be able
to form till he has area and knows the contents of those pa-
pers which have been moved fur, the production of which is
delayed at present, but which, when produced, will, to the
conviction of ail mankind, folly justify the Admiral's conduct,
by the cnctuniaances under winch be led the &Web fleet into
the port of Navarin. In saying this, I may here allude for proof
of nay assertion to one matter, which is not entirely a point to be
Learnt from these official documents, but which is matter of 'geo-
graphical notoriety, namely, that part of the Bay of Navarin is
actually part of the British dominions—that the Island of Spacteria
is a part of the lonian islands, and consequently, that we have a
right to water that Bay, and anchor there, or to enter it at any time
and for auy purpose we please—(Hear). I am sure that no Noble
and Learned Lard, before whom this matter should be laid, and
who should at the sante time be furnished with a map of Spacteria,
would find arty difficulty in making out a good case fee the British
Atentral—(is laugh); anti most sure am I, that a lawyer, much less
learned and ingenious than the Noble Earl on the Cross Bench,
would be able to prove that the case was indeed a vet y good oar.
fist, my Lords, It is alone pot out of the particular circumstances
which those papers will lay before the House that we must make
sir ear mode as to the grounds of that action which has been termed
unfortunate, and which was unfortunate, as it was attended with the
loss of human life; but which in every other sense was a most
brilliant and successful operation. We all know (and I may
appeal to she Noble Duke himself) that interferences in the
affairs of other nations are exceptions to those general rules
which ought to be the grounds that regulate the conduct of all
Gooresninents. But there are occasions on which mediations.—
aye, and armed mediations—are absolutely necessary for the security
of the peace and tranquillity of the wt rld On this point lam not
desirous to go into' other grounds of defence of the Treaty of July
last' than those stated the other night by the Noble and Learned
Lord on the Crass Bench, namely, its teinleticy to s, • re the ulti-
mate peace of thceountry. Is is not by pusillanimously avoiding to
engage in transactions in which the other nations of Europe are iny
vowed,that we eon hope that peace will ultimately be secured to us ;
and in determining on the foreign policy of Mr. Canning with re-
spect to Turkey, we must ascertain, first, whether the Bret sort ot
mediation would have been sufficient, and whether we could have
gained our object merely by a inediatioti between two par ties for
the benefit of those two wily, or whether it was nut necessary for Ili;
benefit of Europe, and to secure her peace and traittenrity, to actor r
the other son of mediation, which was inteadvil to prevent those
things taking place that would have disturbed the balance of power
and destroyed the peace of nation& lf, then, there did exist (as I
am sure will be found to be the fact) a legitimate case for at nied.
interference, I say that we bad a right, nay, that we were bound, to
adopt suck an interference, when it was directed to such beneficial
purposes, I ask, then, whaher it would have berm most in the benefit
this country, and whether it would most have contrihuted to main-
rain the peace of Europe, that we have left that. armed inter-
ference in the hand- of a Power that might be strop& induced to
carry it further than we should wish, and eetend. Its Wings be-
yond those bounds within which we should be desirous to confine
them for our awn advapt le, or the beneht of tidier nations? Were
we to leave this sort of mediation solely in the hand. of a Colossus,
imeheck,ed by obligation., and uncontrooled by any. of those consi-
derations whit b might ittuence the opinious and iuteresta of all the
other nations of Europe? Would such a step, my Lords. have
been either politic or prudent, and were we nut, by a different
:course, avoiding a danger. greater than that which our inter-
ference coo bring upon us.? Were we, my. Lards, to leave to
this, power alone, an armed mediation, by whichthe whole com-
merce of the Mediterranean was to be protected, and thus to erect
a new and dangerous power? Would such a coarse have prep
vented a war, oe.would.it. nut rather Woe increased the-robabillte:
of one ? and were. we not, therflisfrts burand.t. 441 as we have done,
-to enter into this mediation, and by tints becoming a party to it, to
'confine and limit the operations of the Power. to which I have
alluded, and to prevent that Power from going beyond the objects
which we had in miew. but which it might lied to its intermit to ex,
eared if sat bound by itratioulatiens<witti other Puwen?' My Lords,
I say that the peace of the woad 1114 W standard by
_ which the policy
'of all these negociatious is to he. deign:lived. Yost must see these
papers, and then you may judge whether the law of nations has nos
been complied, with in this particular cast. The rule as to armed

instance, that rule, or the finials of soiled policeond die:relives

hassatisfied himself that on taltpointehe eiin ma wish the piewut

and I bail his appearance as a friend to that cause. Fur myself I
am fade disposed to enter taco any -coarse a appeal:lento The pee.
seat Government, as 3 am so positively named that they WM
pommy measures which I am certain hale for their end the good of
the country. I have no motives for opposition. When I missed'
the Seals of oiler, in the employment of ibe diseharge of whiCh I

any thing hhe so istention to eater ou a *nurse of appositimi
to the Gussernmem; and stll less de I feel it wow, when I find
that it is to'be conducted on principles which I agree with and
approve, and which, if strictly pursued, will, I am sure, %keret',
and obtain the confidence of the people. With respect to that
which is called the Catholic ()emotion, I certainly know that I
do not entertain the same sentiments as the Noble Duke; bet
at the same time, I trust that it will am on this acetonic be allowed
to retrograde. I hope it will be tented as a neutral question; but I
nevertheless waft with peculiar anxiety for the result, as I know
tee much of the political aspect of affairs not to be aware, that in
the beautiful country to which this question so mainly acuities, the
principal garrison may be said to be in the hamis of the enemy;
but though we are thus placed under the guns of the fort, I
trust that the principle of the question will continue as sound
as beretofore—(Hear, bear). The Noble Duke has pledged Meta
self that nothing of hostility shall be evinced on the pan of the
Government ; but he must a-sense me if I say that I still intend
to look at the actions of the Cabinet, bereft I can feel satisfied
that Ireland may hope for release ; but I feel sure that the
Noble Duke would not have quittd that situation In which
all the nation wished to see him, and which, of all men he it
most fitted to fill, without the feeling, that by so doing, it would
be in his power to render the financial and political department
of the State great services—services on which will be the eyes
not only of Englaod. but of Swope; and I can assure the Nettle
Duke that he will find, in the present condition of the &canny,
es much room for the exercise of those services, as he can possibly
expect. But I must confess that I should are that appointment
with greater satisfaction. if I could bring myself to believe that
the interests of the army would be distinctly separate front the
present office of the Noble Duke. I ant glad, hows ter, for the
sake of the Constitutioo. that that pledge has been given; tied
I hope that in consideration of that same Constitution, It will
be minty adhered to. for I think that the Noble Duke acted
most wisely and constitutietially. when he intimated an the fita
day ti( the meeting osf Parliament. that a separation of office was to
take place, which could not but be satisfactory to every one. I tiled
that this intim:Ali •ft is a prologue descriptive sae th- pl. y that will he

[be done with my sword." flux I will not prejudge the inteinloss of
any one. I shall swatch every thing that takes place, as a Member
of the Legialatuce of my country ; and I can assure the Noble
. Duke, that I wish bin the most fortunate success in his Adeda
eisuatiun ; but before I sit down, I beg leave to assure bits,
which l do with a firm conviction of its truth, thg whatever he •
way be able to achieve, there is one thing which, with all his
*military success, be can never achieve, and against which I
