I 9 r C. ;, I we had could be retained at a lets ex• pcnec of hicirA and treaftire we had bitter cr' hr them. The Cape of Gond hope, no doubtuiit, fliould France re•citallifb her Ma :inr, might be of confeciticnee ; lyit, under pre feat c..rctimflitiices, he had doubts. Ceylon infinite importance on account of its h as was the Ifl.tnd of Trinidad, in the Weft Indies, for the fame reafcn. Under all cir cumtlancies, lie felt Infiniti . : obligations to his Majefly's Minillers for putting an end to the war ; and particularly to his Right Honourable Friend the prefent Minicier, who in an hour of cl:W:cel.y and danger, charged himfclf with the helm r.f the State, and has for the prefent brought lafely into port. M. EL.Lisos obferved, that though he had from principle fupported the war, as deeming it aggref five on the pall of France, he was friendly in the 1:•;;1:::f1 degree to the Peace atchieved by his Ma jt. prefent Ntinifters, who, he thought, had ailed wifely, and particularly on the prefent occa flon—l-le repelled the idea, that the country was , in a Rate of hutriliation,on the contrary,he thought her recent conduEl pe:uliarly glorious to her.— She was tine to her Allies, and had adequately afferted her own hc.:our and Intel-efts. He thank ed Minifters for what they had done: his bell fup port and influence was at their fervice. The Peace, he trulted, would unite every heart and hand in the country in fupport of its Government, and render Britain in arc& as impregnable as Malta itfelf ; and he trtifled the bleflings of Peace would be co:am:arm ate to the willies of a patrio. tic Mini:lec. Mr. Ntcool.t.s hipprated the Peace. Mr. B•UHINCTON tpoke in favour of the Peace, and advcrted to the Article baween France and England, rcfpc'ling the guarantee of integrity to tlic Turt.illi territories, which principle he treated as 1 471 , 1 y impolitic And dangerous. Lord HAWICESBURY denied that any fuch prin cip x:11.!,: it: the article alluded to. Mr. R. TI RN TON cpCke i❑ favour of the Peace, and gav, the highell credit to the Minillers who hadnbtaincd it. M:. OGLE (Member for the County of Wexford ) fail, he had approved the war, upon principle, and he could allure the Houti: that, in the county whence Le came, every loyal man received the tidings of peace with joy and exultation; while to every rebel and difaffeeted man, it was confufion and difappointment. This circumfiance alone, ac it pit an end to all the Vintner hopes of the difal- Idled, and recut-cal the fifety of Ireland, 'was fuf ficient to juftify the peace. He warned Milliners againt any coalition with the difaffeeted in that country, and enjoined them to place theirreliame upon the loyal Pioteflant men of Ireland, who would rally around the Britifh throne, and die at the foot of it; and, orange as he might bethought for giving fuch couniel, he would !peak from the neeeffity he knew to exit, that, if Government wiffied to preferve Ireland, they mull convert it into a garrifon ! the CHANCILLLOIR of the Excirsotisa felieited the indulgence of the Houfe, in order to reply to a few points which had been much dwelt upon in the comic of the debate, by thole rho dilapproyed of the Preliminary Articles. He, however, felt the highell gratification in the honourable, and almoll general approbation which the condo& of his Ma jefly's Mini liers had experienced, under the trying and difficult circumflances in which they were placed. It would ferve to make them alive, vi gilant, and zealous in the difeharge of their duty, in the hope of deferving a continuance of that flat tering approbation. There was yet a qualification in the terms of fome who had honoured them with their good opinion ;—they were adverfe to the Peace, becaufe it was grateful to the Jacobins, and would tend to encourage their machinations. But what faid the Hon. Gentleman who had laft fpoken (and who could doubt his authority) ? why, that the news WAS received by the United Irifhmen as a fevere affidling flroke. How would that: Gentle men, whooppofe the Peace—particularly his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Windham) feel—when they found themfelves in fellowfhip with the Jacobinc, and there was little doubt that the fentiments of the Luglilh Jacobins were in unifon with thole of the United Ii ilh. Some Right Honourable Gentle men had thewn, that when rcleafed from the re ftraitr.s of office, they could hold a language not ciadiltent with their former condo& Hi, 1414 Hon. Friend had maintained, in all the flowing 1 tnsuage of fincerity, that Peace with France was impeffible untilthemorals of the French %vete imiloved. Then the war was not for fyltems of Gov tiiiment, or for territotial acquirements, hut fer the reformation of morals. Surely the Parliament could not give their fanlion to fuch fentiments, however benevolent the fource. He regretted the abfcnce of his Right Hon. Friend when he was adverting to his opinions. He had argued as if our refources were inexhaunible, but be rated them rather too high, in order to juftify the continuance of the war. It was in order to pre ferve them in the Rate in which they were, capable of vigorous refinance in cafe of future war,that Mi. nifters advifed his Ma jelly to fign the Articles of Peace ; and that Parliament approved of them. He begged the Houfe to recolleet that thole who ap proved of the negotiation at Lille, could not con lißcntly refufe their fupport to the Preliminaries, on the grounds generally Rated by thole who con demned them. He meant to adJrefs this older vation to thole then in office, who advifed and con dtdted that negotiation. If it was true, that to make Peace with France, without overturning the Republican Government, was culpable—and that t!, prefcnt Minißers defervcd the imputation of idarne, the charge fhould not come from the Nc. ciatisrs at Lille. It was not becoming in them pot it forward. There remarks he did not in. r• i.d to apply fo much to his Right lion. iend as "-et c.

Let the Houfe look to the fubliantial refources cf the country, and contemplate all the acquirements of France, allowing all that is due to the indullry and ingenuity of its inhabitants. —Do but the fame jullice to the people of Eng land, and what could be feen from the compa rifon to diflui be the itatefman, or damp the mull a:dent patriot? Such were his fettled impreffions, I and he had every reliance on the effels of a recon ciliation with France. He meant not a reconci liation in fentiment, but on juft and magnani mous grounds, which, with the proteßion of a free Conftitution, and the exertions of a free people, the Britith Empire will continue to be great, powerful, refpeßahle, and happy. The Report was agreed to without a divifion. Adjourned at half paft Twelve o'Clock, till One o'clock on Friday.

Gas NVI L LI Mr. WINONA sa was indirpoted, and referred Unita( for lilt night's debate) LONDON. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5. POWDIR PLur.—HolitLy at all tht. Public Office,. The debate on the Peace was revived laft night in the Houle of CoAlmon!, on receiving the report on the Addrefs. Even the Members of Admini ['ration feem divided in their opinions refpeSing it, and at prefent it looks as if the whole party of Alarm'lts difapprove of it. Parliament difplays, at the prefent moment, a curious fpeetacle. The thinking part of mankind will form their own opi. nions of our fituation with refpeS to danger. In our mind, the perils of onr fituation are increafed by the difkrreertemi in fentiment refpeSing the Peace, among thofe who are area to hold all the places and finecures they can. We fhould, however, remark, that the conduit of fume who are inimical to peace cannot fairly be charged againfl them as an inconfifiency. One Nobleman in particular, the Marquis of BUCK I N G- H A M, evidently makes a facrifice of intereft to prin ciple by oppofing the peace. His Lordlhip gave up the whole of his income as Teller of the Exche quer, perhaps not lets than ten thoufand a year, to calls) , on the war—an income which, of courfe, returns to him with the peace, yet. he condemns it as dangerous and difhnnourable. It is true this is no argument, that V'ar would be preferable to the Peace we have obtained, but it proves at leaft the fincerity of his Lordfilip's con vision that it would ; and thole who differ on the queflion cannot but refped fuch conduit, however lorry they would be to fee the majority enter into the fame views. Neither Lord HAWK ESEVRT nor Mr. ADDING TON have yet fpoken very plainly refpeSing the nature of our Peace Eftablifhment. This is an important point ; for if alarm drimps mad during Peace, as well as during War, we (hall be as effec tually ruined by expense as if the bleffings of Peace were a chimera.
