This bring the last Committee of Supp!y tie t a.en!it be nosed previously to the .r4ng adjournment that was con templated. to tontione possNy to the beginning of Fehruary, he thotodit it his duty again to rive Ministers an opportunity of satisfying the House on moor important sohjects, connected whit which he had already sa'imitted yiestioos. The adjournment, when it should come to be moved, would he opposed, lie appre broiled, by many Members, on the ground af its period being touch too extended, considering the im portant et isis at which the cottony had arrived. It the House was not to meet !!g fm till February, mod it it was intendesl In amend the Pro vos.

II this proceeding' was not conate ortoced 14y the Minist4 rs, a notilicatiun ought to he made, in order to set •.ie of the country :at rest, for as the law now stood, it was yr feeds maancrameble. lie had already repeatedly troubled the use on the subject ot our foreign engagements, particular la those en trcd Imo u•aler the express sanction of Ministers, with Naples. Pre. evottedy ti the passing of the rote fur Sicily, to enable its King to re eved his dominions from Joachim. the reigning King of Naples, he had eroleavoured to .hew the inconeruity of such a grata. far while Eng land was subsidlzing and supportina the King of Sicily in his endayours to rca a in hi , dommiotis, t:,e Ministers of this country, 111 in name, had Boar :weed to that very King of Nap!es his title and territories. In I ire *licence ot proof and confirmation of the fact from the mouths of Ali Lister., that Enaland had so guaranteed to King Joachim his title end ki n udum, he had foriilied his representation of the existence of the transaction l y all the evidence that it had been in iris power to procure. Ute a former flight lee had adduced a copy of Lord W. Bentincles let teL d red from Bologna, to the Minister of the King of Naples, Fu tilely approving of the tretey between that country and Angola, and in suppait ot the s , me fact, he had further and much fuller evidence. Among the many remarkable circumstances that characterised the con. ferences Chat ilium, between Napoleon and the Allies, was a demand mado by the Minister of Napoleon, that diffetent parts of Italy, the Rental; States and Naples, should be left to he disposed 01 by Volta part e The answer to this demand was, that Fleece could not interfere in the of of Italy, and that Naples had been guaranteed to Joa ehim, its legnior King. What made this proceeding the inure remark able was, that the Protocal Rent to Bonaparte was signed by the Mi nisters of Austria, England. Prussia, and Russia—(lfear.)—After this, a Proclamation, dated from Leghorn, was circulated throughout the Italian States, anneuncing that the army of Ferditeatid were going to recover the Neapolitan dominions from 01e usurpation of Joachim. Lord Castlereagh then wrote to Lord W. Iletainck, directing him to communicate to the Viceroy, who issued such proclamation, the dis pleasure girl the Allies at his conduct : to make known to hint the asto nishment of the British Government ; and requiring Lord W. B. after wards to inform him (Lord C.) what measures lie had cakes to dis avow those proceedines in the name of Great Britain. The communi cation added, that England would adhere to its recognition of the Aus trian-Treaty with Naples ; and that, should Sicily persevere in its cen duct, that Power mast be left to itself, as England had already pro p std to obtain for Sicily indemnity fOr the loss of Naples, and then (teat Britain would hold itself at full liberty to emiclude a treaty Joachim.—(Hear, hear, hear I)—Such was the official lan guage directed to be used by Lord 'William Bentinek, in the name of the Prince Regeat of England.—(Hear, hear !) Thus it appeared, that when the power of Buonaparte was not likely to he very soon ex tinguished, no price was too great to buy the Great Captain of the age, Joachim ; but the moment that Buonaparte's power was gone, it was wished to extinguish Joachim, also to. prevent him from becoming an eye-sore to the ancient sovereigns of Europe. He was no longer the Great Captain, whose weight would turn the scale of fortune ; any price to buy him appeared to be too great. The case was not very dissimilar from that of General Dumonrier. In one day that General was eulogizad to the skies. as rossesting the highest virtues with th e most splendid military talents, but the moment it was found that lie was unaccompanied by his army, a counter proclamation appeared, to that Mr. Fox was led to observe. " with his power he seemed to ha ve least all his virtue and all his skill." Just so was it with Joachim ; with the power to be useful lie had lost every claim upon the faith and ho nour of England. But would the Hause grant the money of En g la n d to pay Sicily to carry on the war against Joachim to recover the kine duns of Naplee l having previously guaranteed to that _Monarch, by NOV. 27. an engegemeot as solemn and b:oding as could he the most imolai treaty, his title and his kingdoms ?
