tI. ; I b reaeL of tbegreat system of Ku rope, the Emperor of
h sissia luight be ex peeled to call fur Wdetiniity on the side
of Ilaili.le and Ludonsire ; and Pruscia, to indemnify
herself for this, would seise on Hanover, as she hail
t;sitse twice before ; and thus, as the present King had
Leen made *e first of the Brunswick race to sanction
principles like those now avowed by the Allies, he
inight be the first finally to loose his ancieui patrimo-
nial ioliceiteuce, to which, if lie were not personally
iettOod, be must be more or less than warn They
were not left In doubt as to the motives of Austrisi. She
had 'stipulated on the 15th of June, 1813, thit the
Bing of Naples should not introduce into his Jviiii-
c;ons anyiretelples opposed to those under which the
•aohJoGla of Austria were governed. It was thus cleer
ihist the present momitueats of that power were di.
react', not against the Citrhonari—not against the
Spaniel. Constitution—not against the wild schemes
of 'Autocracy, but againet the smallest relaxation of
il,e'Systens of a stern military despotism. If he might

he would say, oppose those who first cry anarchy, for
that most he found the reverse of evil and good. Ike
humility of Austria was, in point of fact, now directed,
es appeareslifrom the stipulation to which be had referred,
attaitist the principles of the British Constitution. He
they noticed the articles which had appeared in " The
..luarigps Oeiterver" in which it was set firth tint die
-14.441 Powers isoold not treat with the King till he was
i,t a cowlitiou to act for !diesel( without compulsion.
This was ass the principle on which they acted by souse
of their Royal colleagues. A cession of territory ob-
tained at ' the point of the bayonet, was held
to he to all inteats and purposes as valid as if obtained
in the sew used exeraorlieary wa" soggested—by the
speninoseons wish of a Sovereign to give a part of his
•donaielous to some neighbouring Powers. The Allies,
as High Coles/skies of the Continent, undertook to
preserve the public peace • and calculating es the
siasetion of the Court of I:ontion, they expected the
E'aiglisli to declare against the principles of liberty, to
taititthenseswitrr of their s.ncestois, and to declare them-
*tinseling s gitug of revoked slaves. Hr put it to the
House what would now have been the condition of Eng-
layd, had a coalition like that at present formed against
Naples opposed itself to the Revolution of 1688. The
Mituster of that day might have started many specious j
argethentaagaiust it. Ile (Sir J. Mackintosh) could;
otggeiut objections quite full as good as those to the Re-i

iags..the despots of Europe to proceed in their work.

quired, *veld have been the eouseqnence to our liber-
ties, had them sod other arguments which be skewed

aCentleestal stealltios like that which at present
thestateited Naples. In conclusion, he hoped to say,
that whatever might be the result of that night's tie-
