LORD GRF.NVILL’s SPEECH.
(Concludedfrom our last.)
At the outset, and during the grea
ter part of the last war, it was desi
rous to raise in Europe a spirit of re
sist;! nee to the overwhelming power
of France. To encourage that spi
rit, rand to prevent if possible, the
subjugation of the continent ; but it
was seen that our endeavors were
fruitless.—Treaties were signed by
which the several powers of Europe
acknowledged their subjugation to
France, though the disasters ol our
allies were much less than they were
at present. They were such as to
lead any man acquainted with the
interior situations of the kingdoms
and governments of the continent
to believe, that any efforts of ours
would only have the effect ol renew
ing, with ten-fold aggravation, the
misfortunes of Europe. That was
my opinion with regard to the im
provident measure of renewing the
'var after Uy_- experience we had had
Vitli'Ti the last ten years, and when
die hopes was lost that Russia, Aus
tri * and Prussia would be united in
one common confederacy, and
make such resistance as should uhi
mately enable them to withstand the
utmost efforts <»t France. 1 here
could lie no such hope rationally en
tertained ; and all that was circula
ted on the subject was a complete
delusion ; practised, I hope not by,
b it upon, those who entertained it.
France, in her old situation before
the revolution as every man acquain
ted with tlte history of that country
knows, \v is sufficiently strongtomakt
head against any confederacy that
could be entered into in onnositioi
plate. In the first year of the war,
in attempt was made to adopt a svs-
tem of husbandry and economy ;
succeeded completely ; and if it had
been persevered in, you might have
gone on without additional pressure
on your finances, and you were still
alive to the moment which would
give the enemy the most formidable
resistance. You were alive to the
moment to sav, the state of my naval
force enables the country to with
stand all the attempts of the enemy,
and its financial state is adequate to
a defensive war, as long as it may be
protracted, not only with out any ad
dition to, but a gradual alleviation
>f its burdens. With respect to that
system, your lordships read the gloo
mv libels which arc issued from the
press. Those who established that
ystem were succeeded by bis majes
ty’s present ministers, who took care
to tell you that course ol their prede
cessors was to be looked at, not to
induce them to labor to the same sa
lutary end, and to keep within the
bounds of peace, but as a beacon and
landmark by which to steer directly
opposite. That by their efforts on
the continent of Europe, they were to
rescue the nations from slavery, and
the oppression and power of the ene
my. We have now been brought to
the test of experience—we have had
three years of vigor and enterprise;
and for three years these men hav
had the unlimited command of the
Councils and treasures of the country,
and I give to say, the unlimited dis
posal of the lives of the army and na-
w. What a terrible account have
they to render—what a dreadful ac
count have you to demand of them ?
and what a dreadful account have
you,in vour turn, to render to the
country t Then I say not by out
system, but their own, against the
experience of three years against all
reason, against all knowledge of the
state of Euprope, against every argu
ment drawn from the past, they cm-
bark a large expedition on the conti
nent, with the hope of affording sup
port to our allies...with a hope, which,
in the last debate, we were told by
noble lord, using a phrasenoless mag-
ers—vou are to hazard your armies
to hazard the lives of 50,000 men
and for what purpose ?—In the
vain, delusive expectation of being
able to contend against the military
power of France. Unless your minus
are intoxicated by failure, as others
are lay success—unless you see lau
rels where others behold only cypress
—unless you sec triumphs where o-
thers see disgraces—unless you see
victory where others see defeats—
unless you are so deluded as to think,
that with armies of thirty or forte
thousand men you are competent to
the whole military power of tf]*'* con
tinent of Europe—unless you suffer
your understandings to be so impo
sed upon it is impossible you can con
sent to an address which sanctions a
perseverance in the measures of his
majesty’s ministers. I entreat you
to consider that neither will your
finances enable you to bear a longer
continuance of the system pursued
by the pr sent ministers, nor, as a
military power, will the population
of the country' supply your armies
with recruits. It is a vain expectati
on, which has been too often disap
pointed, that all our failures may be
atoned for by some signal success, by
a change of the nature of things, and
by an alteration in the natural course
of human events. Having again
discharged my duty in protesting a-
gainst this system of continental war
fare, convinced as I am, that it can
be productive of nothing but evi
nifeent than the expedition was, t<
. fleet '
Sow,
the deliverance of Europe,
we what this deliverance cl
I am not ol opinion it would have
been available, so as to have decided
the fate of the war favourably to this
countrv; butiftou had done it—is
there a man who can doubt that the
plans of Bonaparte would have been
materially disconcerted ; that hi
plans in Saxony would have been
disconcerted, that upon the insurrec
tion in the Noith of Germany lu
would not, instead of sending the na
tional guards, have been obliged t<
have opposed it by disciplined troops.
This is what you might have done—
now, like a blighted ear comes what
you have done—You had an hnndrcd
thousand men at your disposal ; ol
these something more tfyan twenty
thousand were disposed of in Sicily.
You had two armies of forty thou
sand men in addition to your naval
force. One of these armies was des
tined to act in Portugal, and to march
into the heart of Spain, and this ex
pedition was sent out by the very
men who had originally planned sii
John Moore’s expedition. It ha<
been ascertained that such a force
was inadequate to produce any othe;
effect than the loss of the brave live
who composed it. His majesty’,
ministers not only did not profit froiv
the experience they had, but they so
contrived, that every one of the er
rors to which they attributed the fai
lure of general Moore’s army, should
operate in a still greater degree in
the army of lord Wellington. What
were the defeats with regard to gen
eral Moore’s expedition ? In the
first place, its operations were not
concerted with the Spanish govern
ment. Shall we be told that the o-
perations of this second
were better concerted.
(Here his lordship entered into a
minute detail of the different ex
peditions, of which he drew a me
lancholy pot trait—As the disas
ters which befcl these misguided
and unfortunate expeditions are
already well known by most of our
readers, we pass over this part of
his speech and come touconclu-
; ion.)
Be not offended, my lords, at what
I state, but put it home to your hearts,
annot be blind to the events \< h ch
are passing in Europe—-every man
is struck with horror at the recital of
them-—they cannot be aggravated by
description, or enhanced by elo
quence. In this dreadful hour, if
not by Parliament, how can the coun
try be saved l How can it hope for
deliverance ?-—Can it look to the
government ? 'The government is
broken,distracted,in -ompetent,with
out energy, and incapable of main
taining its authority. The salvation
of the country is only to be hoped
for from your energy and patriotism.
It is you who must step between
your countrv and destruction. It is
on these grounds I move an amend
ment, expressed in terms, that, I
think, will be, in some degree, satis
factory to the public.
The firstparagraph of this address
contains the expressions of regret,
on the part of the House upon the
melancholy fate of Austria. In those
expressions, I perfectly agree. Af
ter mentioning the failure of Aus
tria, and before we enter on any sub
ject whatever, it appears to in*' to
be onr indispensable duty to speak,
to his majesty in such terms as are
plain, clear, intelligible, and cannot
be misunderstood.

H, I
will now call upon you to try the me
rits of the late campaign as far ns re-
pects the conduct of his majesty’s
ministers, not by our system, but by
their own.
In the first place, yon had by vour
maritime superiority, and the great
naval force you possessed in the
Med iterranean, the means of landing
at Trieste, and its neighborhood such
a :orce ns might have contributed to
alter the fatal issue of the campaign
The fate of Austria was decided by
a battle, and that battle was decided
by Bonaparte’s drawing that force
Irom Marmont, which you could
have prevented. You might have
prevented general Marmont anti
general Macdonald Irom sending!and ask yourselves, whether, after
him reinforcements. You might havejthe expedition of Sir John Moore
kept them both in check. It mightland after the expedition oflord Wel-
not have altered the fate of the war,!lington, you can determine toencour-
but, with a view to continental co-o- age these ministers in the prosecuti
peration, or national honor, or the de-on of measures so ruinous to the
iiverauce of Europe, or any other country ? In the present awful si
object, it would have been ineritori- tuation of the country, let me entreat
ous, compared with the wretched ex
pedition which was sent to Portugal.
1 may be told, that, to have acted on
the side of the Mediterranean, would
have required large fleets and nu
merous armies, which would have
been attended with enormous expell
ees. True, but they might have pro
duced some adequate effect. Let me
ask, have you not incurred great ex-
peaces by your miserable expediti
ons, not in assisting, but in bringing
loss and degradation on our allies,
and scorn and shame on ourselves :
Look to the North ol Germany.
Consider all that strikes the mind in
that part of the continent. II his
majesty’s mini.ters are capable of re
you to reflect that you have an im
portant duty to discharge. If you
execute it with apathy and indiffer
ence—If you meet only for the pur
pose of hearing the detail of the er
rors of ministers—consider that some
portion of that blame which ought
only to be imputed to them, will at
tach to you.—My lords, the situation
of the country being what I have stat-
ted, it has no quarter by which to
direct its thoughts, and encourage its
expectations, but the energies, the
.lower and virtue of Parliament.—
This is not a time to rest contended

[The following description of the
Spotted Fi'Ver is given bv Messrs.
Haskell, Spooner, and Holmes of
Petersham, in Worcester county,

strange peculiarities, have arrested
the attention of all judicious enqul*-
rers.]
The following are some of its
characteristic marks as it has fallen
under our observations. It begins
with shifting pains in different parts
of the body, most frequently in some
of the limbs, often in some of the
larger joints, as the knee, the hip or
the shoulder, shifting from place to
place, and frequently to the head or
stomach, and often from one to the
other of those last mentioned parts,
with a sense of universal uneasiness
or restlessness.
These symptoms are accompanied
with cold shiverings and other marks
>f fever, which arc soon followed by
t remarkable and general prostrati-
m of the strength, and a deprived ae-
ion of the sensitive orans. In
some violent cases the sight is much
mpaired, and even totally, though
temporarily lost.
The eyes appear sometimes dead
or glassy ; but at other times, espe
cially during the progress of the dis
ease, they appear red or suffused.
I'he pupil is frequently more or less
dilated ; but sometimes contracted
to almost a point ; and sometimes
these states alternate with each other.
The tongue has been invariably co
vered with a whitish c*>at and moist.
The pulse is generally a little in
creased in frt quency, remarkably in
termittent, and between the inter
missions equal both in strength and
quickness ; but in some few mild
cases it is very little altered.
There is generally great distress at
the stomach, with nause, and lor the
most part some Vo niting.
Respiration is in all cases much
disordered ; but the labor seems to
arise rather from the difficulty of in
flating, than from any infraction of
the lungs, as there is no cough. •
Petechia, or lived blotches, or a
red fiery eruption, sometimes in clus
ters and sometimes in large and dis
tinct pustules, in most cases appear
on the surface of most parts of the
body, and sometimes they are gene
ral. These pustules must common
ly break, discharge a little thin wate
ry fluid and dry up ; but sometimes
they maturate, forming ulcers which
may heal till after recovering. But
neither the spots nor the eruptions
are inseperably connected with the
disease. But when the eruptions do
appear they are attended with much
itching.
Consciousness, especially in adult
males sometimes remains to the last
inimpared, But in females violent
lvstericnl symptoms, with high de-
irium, have within a few hours su-
-ervened. And in young children
