With t&c exception of Swe¬ den, who wa9 by no mean!* indifpoted to unite with the other powers, but who was prevented from fo doing by motives of economy, which the other members *;f the alliance allowed to be a fiiffiucnt ground of exemption, there was not 3 ■ingle power on the eaft of France who was not comprehended In the general league. On the other fide of France, dfo, although Portugal was prevented from immediately joining in alliance, on account cf the diilanceof the Prince Re¬ gent from his dominions, there was no power except Spain who was not bound up in that confederacy. The rtafon why the name of that power was not found affixed to the treaty of the 25th of March (refpefting which a queftion I had been afked by an honorable member | ->n a preceding evening,) was becaufe file j objected to the form of that inftrument, and from a point of etiquette. Not be¬ ing one of the four principal powers who figned the declaration of the 12th March (hedeclined, from a dignity of feeling which perhaps ought not to have opera¬ ted at that moment, to become an acce¬ ding party to the treaty of the 2eth of March. But, at the fame time, (he rea¬ dily made an offer of her afliftaticc to the full extent of her means. Withrcfpeft to the amount of fubfi- Jies which had been paid, he trutted go¬ vernment hud pur filed that courfc pi po¬ licy, which efleutially contributed to the confolidation of that vail force which was arrayed agninll France. The gener¬ al mafs of the fubiidies paid to the four gr cat Powei s, its vvtll as to thpffi who af¬ terwards acceded to the alliance, amoun¬ ted orfg'nflHy ro live millions. We on our part, llipulated to bring into the field 150,000 men, or to pay an equivalent in money equal to the amount of force not adhiallv fupplied. During the courfc of the war, we have kept up, including the Hanoverians and the corps in Italy and Flanders, between eighty and ninety thoofand, fo that we had to pay, in mo¬ ney, for a proportion of troops amounting to about lixty thoufand men. The powers of Europe was agreed in opinion that fome had better be employed towards the general fyttem of alliance, by (ubfidi- .?tng all the minor powers. The King of 1 he Netherlands received no fobfidy, for reaforw wheh were fnilViently obvi- our, r>or did the troops of Switzerland re- ceiveanr, becaufe ihev were not ailivclv employed again ft France. The genera! rate of ftibfidy was upon the calculation of eleven pounds* oer man. The fourth of the whole fnbfidics was faved, and the grofs amount of them did not cxccc I fix millions. The Houfe had feen xvl.at was theeffe<?tof that policy. —[1 had j contributed, to unite and coflfoKdtlte a confederacy fo Immenfe, th^»t no extent of difafter could have altered the ultimate ifme of the campaign, though certainly it might have been protra&cd. Even if the battle of Waterloo had been as fatal and diiaftrousto the Allied troops, as it proved to the army of France, yer the means which were brought into a&iire operation were fo prodigious and i"o pow erful, that the final refult of the conteft would unqueflionablyhnve h-en the fame. It was a general impreffion felt by every member of the alliance, that no delay fliould take place which might be avoid ed. Delay would have given to the character of the war a feature of aggra¬ vation and difficulty, which was moil anxioufly to be deprecated. It wss in tad, of the lad importance, not only that 'he focceft fliould be early, and that it fliould be decifiv.-, but that Europe \\\ the profecution of that great caufe, which was thecaufe ofEuropc againft tifuipa- Won, and an attempt to renew military defpotism, (hould aft with that ftrength power and unity which might undeceive the French nation upon a point in which their national vanity was moft likely to delude them. Whatever might have been the fucceft of the campaign, if they could fliitcrthemfclvca that it arofe out |or any peuicular concurrence of circum- mce«, and not from the magnitude and controilmg force of the Powers afle.-iibled a^'nft them, there would ftill rnve ex- 'Iteda difpolition, conneftcd with that national pride which belongs to them, to the troops of fome of the minor dales.
