a . as t he firft place which a Commoner coold f,ll ; but it teemed a ftrange humility, and a fingolar want of ambition, that had induced two Gemle men fuccellively to defccnd, for the public gor d, no doubt, to Rations of leis dignity. Scald,: as b e was of the merit of thefe Gentlemen in the Chair, he could not think that it was fur the credit of the Houle that the Chair thipld be the rood ether employments. The Noble Lord who ear, Secretary of State for Foreign Atfairs, he lefee c ud as much as he could any one with 1•:! - .i.n1 lee was fo little acquainted ; but he could not but re member that the Noble Lord had he-n as violent as a ny Member of the Houle againit Jacobiniem, mid that he had propofed marching at once to Pari s to put an end to it ; and he could not help thinking too, that conlidering theft: laniments of the Noble Lord's, it was not very relpeallil to place him in a lituation in the Cabinet, io which, after the language he had held, lie would be eilleet upon to make overtures of Peace. Bonaparte had b e en reviled by epithets of reproach, the recol keftion of which ought to imprele svith Iharne thole -rho had ufed them. lie had beea ityled the Child an d champion, the mere lei,audy Puppet of _Leo bininn. Now what a humiliating. fpeaacle, to fee thole who had held and approved that Logiiage, 1 0 ,..e:e; to the man they had treated with filch in di a.ity ! eks to the change of Adraiaidration, he e ha lan coalider it in Weil as an unfortuaate oc tirreace for the country.

Th:. Catholics might be told that the Union would ren der their claims more favourable, while the foes o f the Catholics might be deceived by the alfurances that the Union would create a greater facility than brio= of refilling thole. claims. If thi•s was the cafe, for what reafon was it that the Right Hon. Gentleman, hitherto an enemy to the meafure, luoald tee now refigned his place, bee-attic lie 1 , could not carry it ? Could not the Right Hon. Gentleman bring fonvai•d a motion in toe Howl: which be could nut in the Cabinet ? But was it not a rei:edion on the Conflionion ? Was it not a refiestion on the Houle, for a Member of Par liament to fay, as had been by the Right Hon. Geutleman, that he could not bring forward a rootioo of which he approved ? If the Right Hon. Gentleman had the recipe for relloring tranquillity to any :art of the Empire, why did `he not F ... race it It reended him of a Paying of Mr. larke =another occall -a, that if ever torture sCas jellitiable, it was.in a cafe when a perfon avowed e....firlf pattied of a dilcovery capable of produ cing fu much public good, but would not commu nicate it. The Right - Honourable Gentleman Paid, lied, that if he had brought forward his plan, it would have been upon grounds which would have given little fatisfaaion to the Oppofition fide of the Houle. What that plan was, however, he has not explained. For my own part, exclaimed Idr. Fox, I will not‘be feared out of the principles of liberty which I entertain. I differ from the Right Honourable Gentleman refpeeting grounds on which the millake might have been founded • I believe in the original Rights of Man ; I believe that all legitimate Governments are founded, dot only in raft, but in confequence, upon thole prin ciptes, and that no Government is adequate to its bale ends which does not recognife them. The Catholics hay.e rights, as well as the Proteftants, and I think that no man fhould be deprived of his rights becaufe he worfhips GOD according to the dictates of his own confcience. The Right Hon. Geadernan Ironed to decline bringing forward the caw:lion upon fome fuppenion of obhacles in a particular quarter of the Conititution. He was colivinced, however, that no obflacics of that na toe.: could be euppofed to exit, becaufe it was a c •Se that was not •juftified by the legal prerogatives of the Crown. Whether or not the Right Hon. Gentleman adhered to office might be colleted fr'm the communications to the Catholics. The Riaht Hurt. Gentleman, indeed, might with to re ti. c for a Craton until overtures of peace, which lie could not make without feelings of mortifi cation to the man be but. lately to much infult and the confillion of the Right Honour able Gentleman, :hat office seas not at the prefent moment an objeft of ambition, was a proof that lie did n ot credit his own flattments relpeaine; the fuerefs of the war, and • the proeperity of our a- 'emcee. Mr. Fox then jufttied iiimiClf - from the • charge of r et i r i ng from Parliament, and raid that he was willing to locrifice his own private purfuits, comfort and haminces, when there was a prof. pea of being ufeful to the public, but he did not himfelf called upon to forego thefe when it could be attended with no advantage. He fiiid that nothing coll.! have the count:; from a dee:it fug negotiation or aninfeeure peace, but a return to that ennflittitional jealously of Parliament, un fler which the Nation had Antal-46d, and wars been conduaciii with glory and fucccfs. Many ex amples occurred even in his own recolleetion of auctions for inquiry into the Date of the Nation laving palled. Whatever difference might have appeared in examining the details, there Pod rare ly been any objeaion to the principle of the-mo tion. Mr. Fox reprobate& t.hc cant common to men of little minds and contemptible underflanci "ga, that dependency would be excited by Lying oeen our real fituation. He thought that the truth fhould be told. It was not by concealing the exhaufted Date of France that Bonaparte hid bt•al able to create armies, to animate enthuliafm, 4 nd to perform fuch prodigies, as the tali came aign had exhibited.—He then proceeded to con the ftate of Ireland, which mull be vary &I tufted and critical, becaufe the Houk had agreed to place it tra d er Martial Law fur three mat"' Tie that the mats of tic ropte en.. 1.1 nr t er he difatfeaed without gre.tt du: :n lie Government.

Mr. Pit t role to explain, and denied having Et'id he would not give what informar:cn he was in poffeflion of to the Ho:.k, refpeCting the Catho lic (Zlie:tion, when it thould he agitated. Tha amc:a.toa of the EF.CII/ , .IJrR raid, he could nor coni 7 .nit to give a lilent vote on the im portant Inhi....ft before the Houle, yet he would .lot trouble the Houle any length of time. After what had been fitid, he obferved, by his Honour able Friends, he fhould not find it necelfary to do to. They had already lb ably junificd their own c.ondtt:t, that it merely remained for him to re markon a few obfervations which fell from the lion. Gentl:m as who preceded him ; but beforehe he he:,-,,;ed leave to :iffire the Hoot; that the llttia tioa to which he had the honour to be called by his 501,....2; _t to fill was one whieli he was aware noill be atLifie'd with di iicultics, and to w hich he mull fa • ri:ce many of the domenic er.joyments of a hufband and a father. The honour that Houfe had done him in ti.ree fitcceffive Perli:trients in eltooling him as f.. is Speaker, had left the molt Lang impref. him on his mind, and the frata;ion in which their choice had yla..cd him he relinquillted only from a fence of d u ty to his Soy:: ciot and his Country. And he could not help regretting that the °Rent'. ble place he held in the pr.:lent Adminilltation was likely to expofe him to differ in opinion with many Hon. Gentlemen who:': friendfhip he had a long time partied. Mr. Addington, in adverting. to his colleagues, and hinifelf, (aid, it was by no means fairlo prejudge them. He atfitred the Hon. Gentleman who aecuiie them and him of :Wing tinder the directions and influence of his Majetty's late Mi7itters, that the ch. , rge was an unjuft one. He stinted the Hon. Ce:ttleman to know, that however much he ref led thofe Right Honour able Gentlemen w'. :..:tve jun gone out of office, he knew, he rec ,aized no lyttem but that which. appeared be" lie the fervice of his Sovereign. A great el .i had been faid by thofe Hon. Gentle men abtatt his Majelly's prefent Minincrs not prf fetfing the confidence of the People, he trtt;tcd. !-.)wevcr, that the con.lua of that Houfe, :IA of the country, would not bear the Hon. Gentleman out in his alfertion. With refpeet to the Northern Confederacy, the principle; laid down by . his Right Hon. Friend, (Mr. Pitt) were not dented by the Right Hon. Gentleman; the code of maritime Law is too clear to admit of difpute. It is very true, as the Honotn'able Gentleman obferved, that the King of Proffia did deny the jullice of thote laws, but he was afterwards induced to relingitith the principles he had efpoufed. The right of fearch, he faid, fhonld be ever exercifed with lenity, and he Rill hoped thene . gociation with the Danes might fucceed. But the right of fearch was all and all this country. He trolled that though a heavy cloud might be fufpended, yet firm and temperate con duct would Aired!) , difperfe it. In refiseet to the queftion of Peace, Mr. Addington obfervcd, that his Majeßy's initters were dif;orifed and determined to take fuch Reps as they conceived to be calculated for peace. No form of Government in France Ateuld be an obßruftion to negocia tion'; and with this difpofition on the part of this Country, the fitecefs of the attempt would depend wholly on tams. He had no reafon to fuppofe that the enemy were - adverfe to negociation. But it would be in vain to talk of their fincerity, if they demanded terms that were incontinent with the honour and fecurity of this country. He dd. liked afperity of language towards any percon, and was always concerned when it was tiled. He ' united a firm and temperate conduct, both to wards Frame and Neutral Nations, would Coon dif pel the clouds that hung over this country. With relPeet to Ireland heoblerved, he had no inclination to erea the flandard of intolerance, yet at pee tent he did not 'feel himfclf called upon to eater Ul 03 the tubjeCt of the Catholic expectations. Thus far he would fay, that Catholic and Diften ter he looked upon as good fub,eCts, and entitled to the proteEtion of the Houle and the Country. He contended, that the diflreffes of the country, .and the high price of prnvifions, did not, as the lfnaoar.ebleGentleman had atferted, arife out of the war ; thofe dill:vita, he faid, arofe ont of the feafons. The Honourable Gentleman, he faid, contended that the interference of that Houle had had no gond eife& on the price of provifions, for his part all he hoped for was anfwered; he was always perfuaded the great good that would wife would be the incrcating fupplies and dimi• uilhirtg confumption, and who would lay theft two important ends were not anfwcrcd ?—He denied that inve Rigation was ul ways the eonfequencc of the meature being propofed in that Houle, as flitted by the Honourable Gentleman—he inflamed four cafes, from the year taao, to the commencement of the late Adminifkration, when Committees of Enquiry were either refuted, or wheat voted by the Houk, not acted upon. He would abßain (corn declamation; thofe who knew him would, he trolled, judge from their own knowledge; thole who did not he alto trolled would wait to from their judgment from experience; he would, therefore, throw himfelf upon the 1-loufe and the Country. As Coon as Mr. Addington fat down, there was a general cry for the Qtteition.—Sir Gregory Page Turner (poke againft The motion, and fir. Dent in favour of it. Mr. Grey replied, and faid he was happy to find the tone of the late Admini nration changed to kudzu:no of more becoming moderation. • At 1..i..••!1: 11 • I!

The :VETO/0:El' GENERAL frill, be thotislit it his duty to aiirtiae the Houle that the provisions of this Bill extended to Country Bank Notes, Bills of Exchange, &e. as well as Bank of Eng Lind Notes. _ _ _ Sir R. rolrom thought that the f:tme protec tion ought not to he given to the Notes of Country Bankers as to thole of the Bank of England. Mr. CUR WI M laid, that as long as the Notes of Country Bankers were fanSioned by Law, they were entitled to its proteaton. Sir \V.
