which a care for the safety of his mite novelty im-
posed on him, there was none which be more wil-

charge that evening. He had to call on the Hosea
in behalf of a People who were to -be deprived of
all that made civil soekty voluble, protection foe
person and property, and the free exercise of rt.
The People of Parp were new in possession
of these privileges—he could not ea! in the enjoy-

all the circumstances which weighed in (noer of the
inbahitants of Perga, he hoped be should be able to
state enough to persuade the How, that they were
called open in an especial manner by the generosity
and justice which should actuate them towards other
States, and especially toward, small Stat..i, which at
their hazard had been our friends in war,

That House could never, he thought, refuse its sym.
pethy or companion to a People struggling for free-
dom, and therefore he was encouraged to celestite
' that the object of his motion would be graciously re.
'teived, especially as military possession wss taken of
Parga in the year 1814, by a British force tent by
Gen. Campbell, upon a specific engagement with the
People of that town that It was to follow the fate of
the lonian Island., whatever that fate might be. The
People of Pala thus confidently committed them-
selves to the protection of England, and was it pos.•
sible that it was intended, as be understood, to alien.
don this interesting People to the dominion of the

the Noble Lord, when apprised of the consequences
of the coarse upon which he had entered. would be

MI credit for a disposition to shrink from any treaty
that threatened to produce such misery as must revolt
from the surrender of the People of Pero to the do-
minion of the Porte. Such a coarse would iodeed
be so abominable that he could not suppose any Bri-
