Impassioned Defense in Questioning Portugal Mission
A parliamentarian argues that charges against government over the Portugal royal return were aimed at disqualifying him from office. He asserts belief in the royal return, defends the mission's cost as justified if true, and cites letters from Lord Liverpool and Lord Strangford to support his stance. He warns against hypocritical fabrications and urges candor in public debate.
