He was himself an instance that nations
might so
ut giving offence to others ; for at the Congress of
previous to the invasion of Spain by France, he was

ambassador from this country, and he was left alone by the
representatives of all the other powers ; but he never thought
that England had a right to look upon that as an offence.
We.differed from the other powers as to that expedition to
Spain, but took no offence • and neither had France aright
to take offence because she differed from the other powers on
the eastern question. He could not admit that there had
been anything discourteous in the conduct pursued towards
France, and he thought France had no more reason to com-
plain on this head, than be had at being left alone at the
Congress of Verona. In justice to Russia, he must say that,
on aformeroccasion, no power could be more anxious than-
she was to induce the maritime powers to prevent the inva-
sion of Syria by Mehemet Ali, in order to obviate the neces-
sity of her sending an army to Constantinople. He believed
that no person had done more than himself, since he had the
honour of serving the crown in 1814,—nay, no one had done
half so much to preserve the peace of Europe, and to keep up
the best understanding between this country and France,
and to place France, as such a great nation ought to be, in
the, councils of Europe ; feeling convinced that if France did
not hold her proper'position in those councils, there would
be no security for the peace of Europe, or for justice or
sound decision upon any subject.
Lord BRODGLIAM thought that, in'drawing that last state-
ment from the noble duke. he had rendered most essential
service to the peace of Europe.
The address was then agreed to, and their lordships ad-
journed.
