(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. .umpaign 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 >v covering with blind votes of con- adence those errors ot ministers hich arc so notorious, and produc [The following description of the Spotted Fi'Ver is given bv Messrs. Haskell, Spooner, and Holmes of Petersham, in Worcester county, (M ass.) Its rapid contagion and 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 ection, 1 * then, reflect cn the pow- .ive of sufh irreparable evils. You'vtupor scaietitr.es conieson Boon af-
