Observation-Disclosures did nothing of the kind, be-
cause the government considered the accomplish
mcnt OF the treaty want of the country, asa thing
necessary 10 her prosperity il has supported the
treaty as act of justice, rs required by the nation
al interest.
From this il is TO be- inferred that the Ministers
entertain profound conviction of the Justice, of
the necessity of the treaty. and far from discover
ing in the circumstances which have surrounded
the treaty with unavorablc antcccdents, ! be-
licvc that never more profound conviction could
be invoked 1t is then under the influence of this
favorable presumption, that proceed to examine
the different objections presented by the noble Duke.
lie has treated the matter first question OF
right, then as question of political interest, and
finally as question OF commercial interest. These
are, believe, the three positions which have been
assumed by the noble Duke.
The Americans at all times have protested IL
gainst the violation of the rights of neutral powers.
At all times they have opposed the application of
the Berlin and Milan DEGREES. shall not enter
into an examination Of these decrces-it is the
great question ofthe Continental bloekade-it is
IA question which the best men have been di-
vidcd in opinion. | do not mean in America a.
lone hut in France and il was, | assert, ques-
ton of so doubtful character even in France, as
to render it proper subject for an arrangement,
(unc frdnsaction.)
Notwithstanding tho difficulty of the question no
arrangement (trdn,action) took place The A.
mcrcans abandoned their prctcnsions and explicit
" ack nowcdged the validity of the DEGREES of
Berlin and Milan, since they were led to reduce
their demands To vessels scqucstrated in consc
qucnce OF the irregular application OF these same
dccrccs. They have therefore adopted the principles
laid down by France.
The question thus reduced, there was ground for
liquidation. But we know tho danger OF such Ii
quidaion. 1t appears 10 me incorrect to say that
tho sum has been fixed on demands of the Amer
leans, varying, increasingly, and increasingly aug-
mcnlinc again the advantage remained
with France. The negotator admitted catego-
rcs. The French Government made an csti-
mate, no liquidation took place, but actual
arrangement (transdctionO which had for its ba-
sis, the French documents alone. | presume
may dispense with examination of the catceo-
rcs, since the honorable member has not objected
to them.
Iprocced then to the second question, that Of
political interest. Tho political interest OF France
rendered this arrangement necessary, and do not
deny that it had its influence ON tho conclusion of
the treaty. admit that the political interest of
France did affect, to a certain extent, the deter
mnation of the government, but the position in
which the government found itself, must be taken
we'd, the great tic of European policy: itsaw form
ing around groups favorable to particular system
of policy. Under these circumstances it of
importance to ally ourselves with people whose
constitution harmoniscd with the principles of our
government
1t is for this attach great importance to the
alliance with England. 1t is for this we ought to
desire alliance with America, alliance des-
rablc for France whatever may be the system of
policy follow.
The advantages which may result from it eau
not know be reduced to figures. | therefore
shall not attempt ii. Political interest ind,l-
ccd the government then to show itself IA
vorably inclined TO the American claims We are
interested in doing, for thereby we proclaim
the respect and the support of the rights of the
trails.
The orator then entered into examination OF
the right Of ncutrals, and concluded from this cx
animation, that the treaty necessary in polit-
ical point of view, as well advantageous in a
commercial point of view.
The Minister examined the treaty for the ccs-
sion of Louisiana, and observed that the noble
Duke who had preceded hin, had fallen into an cr-
ror in saying that the Sh article of the treaty Of
ccsson of Louisiana enabled France to withstand,
in all the States of the Union, tho competition Of
English commerce. He had not noticed that thislr
~ was applicable onl 10 French goods imported
in French vessels-Thc calculations therefore,
which the Hon. member has presented fall with the
basis On which they are founded.
A question of constitutional political right has
also been discussed. National honor has been spo-
ken OF. Gentlemen, the government of July has
not to give proof of dcvoion to national honor.
The proofs may be found in the attitude of its ar
my, of its navy.
The Government is the offspring Irrational spi-
rit its existence, its duration in Europe these
the best pledges of its dignity. The government
can never boast of more glorious origin. 1t has
not to give proof of its character it did this in
us cradle. 1t is perfectly free. Numerous Uoces.
Good, very good.)
This brilliant umpropisdtouc made a profound
impression on the Chamber. The question APP
pears settled and the Duke de Broglic, in re-
markable speech, in reply TO the Comtc Roy,
demonstrated how honorable il was to France
to discharge her debt, and how advantageous to
her, at the same time was the mode of lunida-
ton.
Some other orators were heard and the sitting
closed at 6 O'Clock.
Wadrid, June 3d.--1'hc capital is perfectly
