W itil respect to the impolicy ola war with
SPAN, which he looked to with AS nt,cb
anxiety as The noble Marquis, and perhaps
more, from causes too notorious TO be rnrn-
tlohed, ne confessed that much az be 70
gretted the elect Of this war upon Spain
ne ala not regret it more than he did the
elect which il would produce upon France
and Earope; and much as he denrecated
The aggression upon Spain, he was free tn
confess that he dreaded the eons4ouences
"h'ch would ensue to France more than
'hose which would easue TO Span. In
der such circumstances, there was no,
man IN 'he country who must not feel nat
.ile obvious policy of this country U;e
neutrality but when he said this. he did
not mean TO follow those who asserted that
h"clrcumslances could occur which would
render war unavoidable or unnecessary s.
II necessary, that the declaration of Il
would sap public credit-and that ths
country was not in a state to meet n war
ne lloii5ht II war were necessary. this
country was prepared to undertake it I; and
,oohlng INTO the efforts already made bv
England, she was still prepared to be faith
iui to her engagements with her allies al
soon as their dignity, or the safety of tbs
country, should be attacked.
Lord Peterborough said, feelinq that cir.
coms'ances must arise in which our own
honoF VIII be implicated, he would do now
"hat ne did two years ago-repeat the
protest which he had then made againsf
the right OF one Power to interfere with
the internal regulations of another country,
and again say, that Ministers had not done
thelr best endeavours to avert the calamt
which threatened Spain.
The Earl of Liverpool said it was the in
len'lon OF his Majesty's Ministers to intro
duce' on as earl y day as possible some
measure for the amelloraton of the poor
of Ireland.
