The above two quotations are from speeches de-
hvered 10 the British House Of Commons, during the
late discussion on the foreign policy Of toe Govern
ment In order fully to comprehend and appre-
ciate them, it may be necessary TO revert simply
to the history OF that dscussion-its cause and
! object
Certain claims were made against the petty and
precarous Kingdom OF Greece by the British Gov
eminent, and by British subjects. 1t matters not
to our purpose whether these claims were ~el
founded or not, just or not, exaggerated or BOT
They were made aud not satisfactorily arranged :
Uhereupon the British Government ordered ak
teen ships ofwar into the Gulf Of Salami, with
directions to blockade al the ports Of Greece, aud

Greece was established some twenty years ago.
by the Joint interference of England, Francs and
Russia. Its liberty if such it may be called, wa,
proclaimed by the cannon Of Navarino Then
came the difficulty Of making arrangements for
the permanence Of this new nation, wrested from
the feeble tyranny of the Turk. The three " lib.

hung around its neck obligations Of debt and dc

Of the Sublime Porte.
A Constitution was frame for her, with the
provisions or GUARANTEES Of which she has as much
to do as with the last ukase Of one Of her liberia
tors" A King was selected FOR her-to whom and
whose descendants she was to mortgage her blood
and treasure for ever-from among one of the pau
per tribes Of the Guephs This was Englands share
Of the spoil. France sought counter balance in
the selection Of Minister devoted to her interest,
and Russia was satisfied to fad free anchorages for
her bottoms in the Grecian waters from which
heretofore the fears or Jealousy Of her trembling
rivtlhad excluded them. Thus Greece got for her
! King stranger to her blood and race ignorant Of
ell belonging to her, except, perhaps, her glorious
old history; and withal, beggar upon the bounty
OF foreiol power, to whom lie owed throne, a
kingdom and name. She got a. Minister the creG-
ture the spy of another foreign power. She con-
trscted debts enough to exhaust her whole resour-
ces till the crack Of doom, and she acquired the
grand honor Of a close affinity with the Despot OF

ties in the services Of their respective masters or
mattresses, to watch, seze, circumvent and battle
their colleagues Thus the unfortunate Greek Go
venmeLt became the focus Of vast swindle, and
of consequence it necessarily found itself involved
with either France or England, and more than
cree these powers have been brought TO the brink
oiwM By the intrgues Of their respective agents
in Greece.
On this lat occasion, France withdrew ner Min
ster, ard England, after HrSt refusal, consented
to have the claims, to which reference has been
made, adjusted by her rival.
This was the subject and the ostensibe cause OF
the vote Of sympathetic condemnation pasted by
the House Of Lords on the Ministers ofthe Crown
The vote was Immediately founded on the Greek
question, but it embraced the entire foreign policy
Of the Ministers; and, as expounded by its sup
poIteS ii especially rebuked the propsgandism Of
constitutional liberty, which the Foreign Secrsts
ries were charged with bringing into every State
in Europe.
The abet.ors Of the Ministerial course entrench
ed themselves behind this false charge, and what
the Lords denounced as an opprobrium they relied
on as its chief merit. Upon this they based the
counter resolution wheh was successfully sustain
ed in the House OF Commons.
