DETINITIVIt TRIATT OF FIUM The Order of the day being read for retuning the adjourned debate on the .Addrefs to his Ma jelly on the conclu(ion of Peace, the Speaker read the Addrefb as propofed and moved by Mr. Wind ham, and as amended by Lord Hawkeibury. Sir WILLIAM Yowl° commenced the difcnffion by feveral compliments on the purity of the mo tives, and the patriotifm of the fentiments, by which his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Windham), and the Gentlemen who fupported the Addrefs, were influenced. To that Addrefs, as originally propofed, he felt himfelf called upon to give his decided fupport, for it appeared to him to be the refult of the molt ample and impartial review of the conditions of the Treaty, as they actually af fefted, or were likely to affeet Great Britain in a political and commercial view. He was jullified in laying, with the full concurrence of the Houfe, that pro laftious motives could be imputed to the Gentlemen who did not view the Definitive Trea ty in the fame favourable light as his Majefly's Minifiers ; and their condo& more deferved the tl anks of the public, as their objea was to call the attention of the Country to a true retire of the dam gers of its prefent fituation, to thew to the public the precipice on which they flood, and to entreat his Majeßy to direa his Minifters to watch with the uunofl caution and vigilance the aftual awful crifis of affairs. The Addrefs evidently did not go too far in advifing the King to adopt the line of cnndua recommended, as not only the Rate of France, but that of Spain, was neceffary to become the fubjea of confideration in purfuing wife and vigilant =Aires, and it was obvious that the peace afforded no fatisfaltory grounds of real fe curity,finee Mini tiers themf.lves acknowledg ed the imperiousneceffity ofkeeping up in the time Of tran quillity a yea and expenfive military defenfive force. After animadverting upon the material difference between the Preliminary and Definitive Treaty, although it was Rated in the Noble Lore's amend ment, that the latter was founded upon the balls of the former, he proceeded to fhew the danger which at all times threatened Italy, from the con verfion of the Cifalpine Republic into an inftrn ment of France. With refpea to the new Conai tution of Malta, he could fay, from his own expe rience, that it was completely inadequate to the end held out, and that fo far from the inhabitants of Malta being Capable of making part of the new order of Knights, very few of them, and he was enabled to fpeak pofitively, for he had refided in this Wand ten weeks, were adequate to perform with propriety menial offices of a higher fort. The recent fyßem of Government wits under every cir cum fiance a molt difgracefitl event to the Order of Malta, and pregnant with alarm and danger. He next confide red our relation with France in the Weft Indies, particularly in St. Domingo, in the Levant, the Mediterranean, and in the Eaft Indies, and expreffed, in Rrong terms, his apprehenfion of the perils to which the new influence and acquifi tions of France in thole parts would lead. What could not be paffed over in filence was, that France was more to be dreaded from all there additional advantages, as the would improve and extend them by the very nature, aaivity, and power of a mili tary Republic. The confequences which were likely to arife from the Definitive Peace, in a corn. mercial fenfe, were not left alarming than in a po litical view ; for fuch were the benefits accruing to the French. Republic from the vat extent of her coals, and the non-renewal of former treaties, that it required every effort, every exertion of all our capital, all our ingenuity, all our induftry to counteraa them. He was however free to con lets that the Peace, fuch as it was, ought to be obferved with every poffible teflimony and del sonasation of good faith ; but the country could not be too fizongly or ton frequently remind ed of the dangers it had to encounter. Should another war occur loon, we flould have to meet an enemy with means, refources, and forces much fuperior to thofe difplayed on the late contell. Af ter dwelling-for Tome time on the application of the political maxims of Tacitus, Livy, and Mon tefquieu, in his Ufa) , on the Decline of the Ro man Empire, to the prefent crifis of affairs, be con cluded with obferving, that in confequence of the able fpeeches already delivered in fupport of the -original addrefs, he fhould trouble the Houfe no longer, but give it his cordial affent.

It is, power and influence of France en the coaft of indeed, that fpecies of acquifition which more than South America, I cannot but think that thofe who fupport the original Addrefs have gone too any other should be looked to by us as a primary objeet.
