Those were the feati he had arhiered, besides ewer.

bringing about the probable result by at, actinl and
direct, bet sinf-.nitanate disobedience of -oiersr-it
disobedience tlitat had since been putsishad• by the
prompt proceeding of the Gorernmen of SPtin.--.
That-was an Unfortunate event, and, at this min:
meat, it was intpos‘ihle to see of what rcivaatlges ft
I had deprived us, of ohich we otherwise might. have
been almost certain. That it had :naterially pro-
f meted the failure before Burgos, he bad little reason
to doubt; but however mortifying those things
might be, still they had no reason to despond. The
effects of suck a disappointment, by disobedience,
and of such a Mute, might soon be retries ed by that
commanding genius which-had already done so much
for Spain, Eve's the present condition of the enemy
afforded much ground for exultation. He had been
compelled to collect his forces, and, when it was re-
collected with what difficulty they had before been
supplied, how much gr. ater must those difficulties be
now that they formed one collected mass. Here was
fair reason for h0pe....-There was no occasion for him

to recapitulate those circumstances that had attended
the raising of the siege of Cadiz, the capture of Ciu.
dad Rodrigo, of Badajoz, and of Salamanca ; but
no one would deny that they were hig advanta-
geous to the general' ammer.---[licar, hear !]-13ut
fortunately the influence of this brilliant campaign
was not confined to the Peninsula--it had been felt
in the remotest corners of the world, particularly in
Russia. [Hear!] In Russia too they had seen what
might be done by constancy and perseverance; for
in Spain this country had evinced, by en aairtal and
successful course, what might be done by perse.
veragice ; and the lesson had not been lost on the
Empera of Russia. In Russia too was already
seen wlmt might be achieve) by a determine resist-
ance to the prisoospeuarnskretouskosse of "an usprina
cipled but ambitious foe. The Emperor of Russia
gave great hopes to enslaved Europe. In the field
he had given great proofs of firmness and decision ;
and by entrustifig this country with the Russian fleet,
he had given a proof of his implicit faith in England.
The new treaty with the Sicilians was very favoura-
ble, their troops being thereby made more efficient
to the general cause. Thus was the aspect of Eno-
pene affairs highly favourable. Not long since, they
had seen the whole Continent of Europe arrayed un•
der the despotic dominion of Bonaparte; bnt they
now saw efforts making to throw off that odious r4o-
minion, that gage the fairest and most flattering
promise. They already saw the difficugties by which
Bonaparte was surrounded. He not og.ly met with
obstructions to his efforts to recruit his army, but ap.
peared actually unable to supply the army whir h was
already opposed to Russia. It might be hence fairly
' concluded, that the military despotism of our foe
I had received a deadly shock, if it were not now
trembling to its very base. All these advantages were
to be traced to the conduct of this country, to its
undaunted efforts in the Peninsula ; and from what
had passed, they might fairly place a confidence in
the future. Europe had now an opportunity of
arousing from her lethargy, and there was fair hope,
1 that the opportunity would not be lost. As to the
war with America, that event was much to be la.
mented ; and it being the belief in this country,
that it could not continue, was the cause of our not
having more vigorously prosecuted it hitherto. In
Canada, however, honourable and glorious proofs
had been given of the fidelity and glorious proofs
portion of his Majesty's subjects. As to the
triumphs of the Americans at sea, and triumphs,
no doubt, they called them, they owed then
to the very general belief amongst us, that the was
could not continue. The war might be injurious to
us, but he coufideutly hoped, that its continuance
would not he for any very extended period. The East
' India question was one of great interest, and would
deservedly have the serious attention of Parliament.
The appearance of domestic affairs, as set forth in
the Speech, was" highly gratifying, and it could not
fail to make a pleasing itnpression on their Lordships
: to ascertain, that order was obtained in those districts
that had beets somewhat disturbed, by the wisdom
and energy of Legislative enactments. The Noble
Lord then concluded with moving, that en Ad.
dress be presented to his herd Highness the
Prince Regent, which, as usual, was an echo of the
;Speech.
Lord ROLLE seconded the motion, with a few
;appropriate observations.
The Marquis WELLESLEY professed that he
agreed in most thittga in the Addresi. Ile thought
we could not have spoken less of our achievements,
nor less of the illustrious General who had command.
ed our brave armies in the Peninsula; he agreed also
in time confidence expressed to be reposed the wis-
dom of Parliament. But it was the-character of wis-
dom to look success and reverse equally in the face,
and not judging merely by accidental events, but to
