INIPtRIAL I'AIiLIAMENT.

itOiftt OF I.OnOS, ‘l9.
. •TILE ADORERS.
. .
His Majesty's.SpieCh, as already given in Tire STAR,
having been read by the LORD CHANCELLOR front the
Woolsack, and by the Clerk at the Tab!e,
The Earl of CHICHESTER rose, to move an Ad-
dress to his Majesty. lie could tint refrain fron congta-
tulating their Lordihips upon the cheering topics em•
briced by the Speech. It must be highly satisfactory
to the House to learn, that his Majesty continued to
receive from all Poreign Pnwers the assurances of their
friendly disrositions towards his country. He considered
the Speech to afford a well grounded hope of the,con
tinuance. of peace; it expressed a just de.ermination to
maintain the national faith and h •no!ir inviolate in
whatever circumstances might tithe; but it was at the
same time conrei/e I in a spit it the most paCific, and led
t; the grati >lag expectation that the peace of Eitope
would 3et I.e pte,erved. lie knew that Considcrab'e
tears had been entiertained th :t hnstili.,i.s we e about to
break cut in Ent o-,•e, and that England was likely to he
involved in them. It was matter .41c mgrataation that
'brie apprehensions had now been all •yet by the grati
ying language of his Majesty. He sincerely concurred
n the elutes ion of tegret up• n t! e tunate
ccur,ence 'at Navarin ; for however proud they
'night justly feel of the skill and gallantry displayed
by t).e officers and men engaged upon that occasion,

e considered that every true friend to the real in.!
ests of his country most lamelt the occurrecce. In
.11 victories the gratification 'hey produced was much
‘bated by the sr nand, they iaf ctei upon the feelings
of Irrtna•dt) ; but, upon this nec ision, the abare 'rent
as greater than usual, in it•nrirch as it was a victory
not nbtained o..er an enemy or the nation. He had no
hesitation then to say, that if on our parts it had been
thc result of premeditation and not of accident, the
transaction would hare appeated to him to deserve
censure. This transaction, hossever, he considered as
one altogether accidental and uniweseen, and not the
natural result of the instructions which had been givrn
to our Commander. And he entertained upon this
account the fullest confidence, that it would not lead

the way to further fro,tilitiei, or in any manner ob
struct the great and important ohjeas the Government
had in view. He must be petm.tted to remark, that
England had shown a disposition to perform her pact
towards the attainment of the objects of the alliance
to which she had become a party —the restoration
of peace in the East of Europe. During the war which
had raged to long in that part of the world, the inte-
t est of British commerce had severely suffered. It was
therefore the policy of England to
.pin in the attempt
to put an end to it, and not policy only, but justice ard
humanity equally dictated this line of conduct. Policy
and a desire to maintain the trati,nal char teter for good
faith would compel them to persevere in the pursuit of
that salutary object which they in common with their
allies had in view, although they would not unpro-
vokedly draw the sword upon an ancient ally. It
appeared the object, which the; country had in view in
sending troops to Liar in had been obtained, and that
they were about to return to-this country. lie trusted,
therefore, that Portugal, for which this country had
expended so much blood and so much treasure, might
now in security reap the berry& of that system. which
Great Britain had so liberally fostrred. He could not
conclude without adverting to part of the Speech, which
inform ,d them that a considerable improvement hid
taken place in the torero commerce of the country.
He trusted that this iniprovement would soon be found
t-t have extended to every other branch of our national
affairs. Tot N•rble Lord then moved, that as humble
and dutiful Addres be pre.entei to his Majesty.
The Loan ,1211Asc6tLott comaienced reading the
Address, when
Lord HOLLAND remarked. that the regular c une
was for the Noble Mayer to r .ad it himself first, which
he had not dente.
The Noble Lord then.read it, and it was also read
orn toe Woolsack. It Was, as usual, an echo of the

Speech.
Lord STILANGFOItD, in seconding the motion for
the Address, could not refrain !ruin expressing the high
satistactior he derised from the topics of tne Speech
which had been delivered by command of his Majesty.
The Speech could not fail to diffuse hope and confidence
tnrutrj4hout the conati y. It b: ea bed the spirit of peace
and held oat the mint gr Hying assui ante 'hat the peace
of Europe would be ..,:utitaitied. He believed that the
main points urged, and the principal topics allude d to
in it must bring hope.and consolation to All, becitio.,e all
must be convinced, from the Speech which had been
jus: read, that his I.ijesty would persevere in his gra•
cious.decla:ation, wlncti conveyed his resolution to use
ail his exei nom to rnaistAin the repose of Eu:ope
the proud basis which English glwy had placed it after
the battle of Waterloo. He rejoiced at the announcement
of such an intention, and welt was it calculated to allay
the Anxiety which the present aspect of affairs in.Europs
might otherwise excite. To c try into effect such a
iesolution would confer nr?r.• sp.endour on the national
charact.-r, whilst it w mre easily attained than
winil.l the most sign 41 victories acheved by war.—
The Noble Lord tat strongly on this subject ; per.
haps the more so, bec iu-e lie weal knew the. warmth
of feeling which prevailed in Turkey towards Eng
land. tie knew and admired the undeviating
tideii:.y with which she maintained her relations of amity
tow..rds England—a fidelity nut les, strong than if it
kad been guaranteed by do: uments of three hundred
years standing. tie trusted that the event which re-
Gently occurred, and winch all regard. as unexpected,
would not tender difficult a recurrence to our former
friendly intercourse. He also trusted that an end would
be out to that unadthurited and anomalous hostility,
which originated in the romance of individual adven-
turers, and which was calculated to embarrass our Na
tional Councils. He trusted that the speediest measures,
consistent with our recent 'ttaties, might be resorted
.o, to bring back a. st.tte.o rings w!lch every one ac-
qu-onted with the state of Turkey, must wish to see
established, and that that Treaty would be carried into
effect with the least possible disturbance to the feelings
of a Government which ha.l, in 'the most trying times,
been enlisted in our favour, and which had always been
anxious to maintain friendly relations with us. Looking
at these considerations, and confiding in his knowledge
of the unsullied hon.nir of one of the chief parties to
that Treaty, he felt convinced that no attempt at poll
tical advantage would be suffered to pollute a Meaty
fvunded on such honourable :And nurnaLe motives. Ile
