Lord Milton could not avoid making some
observations on the part of the speech which
referred TO america No one could be inseusi-
Die how much he prosperity Of ais country
depended on the connection with America and
he rather feared ministers had unnecessarily
plunged the country in war with that nation
In fact, in all tho negotiations with America.
Il appeared to him that there was too much
irritation on both sides. He was not afraid to
say, that he feared that even on The part OF the
great parsonage at the head of our govern
ment, there might DE something of an her, di-
tary irritation against the American people.
II war was necessary, he did not approve of
at mitigated warfare spoken OF last night by
right bon gentleman, but, in the case Of A.
merlca, he rea'ly bel eyed that there ought TO
nave been no warfare at all.
