between Russia and Span relative to military aid, which
former theof these has engaged to furnish 10

or indirectly, to npugn the wisdom of the system which
mas hitherto existed but he conended that as pract-
cal Statesmen, 1T the duty of Minister'S and of Par
lament, to adapt commercial regulations TO
those changes which the trade ooher countries had I'M
dergone-changes, indeed which, in measure forced
upon us corresponding ones parts. That the pc

come expedent, undenaby proved in the course of
