I will take these facts in their order. u. . • First, it is not Tilivelo,Fp* If i allk 'lt . Peters burgh as his reprered • _ll9 lei seed me thither at all. I Mean Ms N lfefithWillf the rub- Hence of this charge when T &dart, iipabrik'bersour, that ' 1- had fully resolved to undertake this jouridt,lese bad notate my preparations for it, before I eves comnsitnicated my is.. 1 tentioas to him. At this distance of lbw I cannot affirm • that be positively dissuaded my golf*, but the impressive on my mind is that he did; and I am quite confident that he never encouraged it. Secondly, I did mot go for dm purpose elf frustrating lb. Kilt 's Ministers. What my purpose wasor rather my moss tive, I have not the slightest objection to avow. In addition to the anxiety I felt ou public grounds fur the issue of a question in which our foreign system was so materially in volved, I had a motive which I may call, in some respects, • persoull, inasoineb as it regarded the rank and estimation,- which I shall never be ashamed to acknowledge I was de_ siren. of establishing for myself with my political friends. 1788, when his late Majesty's illness gave reason to este pet that there would be a elitisme of gureranient, Mr. Fox signified his intentions of placing me iu the foreign fine. From that time I resolved to qualify myself as well as I could fur diplomatic offices. The slate of Europe in 1791 prrsented me an •pportunity. On the RIOS/inn question particularly, the part taken in Parliament by the friends to ohms I wee attached, supported, as your lordship must yourself confess, by the unanimous sentiment of the coon , ary, mid likewise the known preference of the Empress Ostberioe for English connexion, gave me advantages for kerning the real situatimi of affairs at that Court, and for discovering its future intentious, which rarely fall to the lot of a private Gesatlesnanned which are mot oftio obtained ' even by an accredited Mtuiatcr. Of these 1 determined to avail myself. Your lordship wiN not expect me to reveal by what means 1 obtained, when I got there, a knowledge of events as they were passing, adr to tsarisr or derituate the - persons ''filth whom 1 conversed, and with whom I discussed, with the °peones. and freedom which Englishmen are accustomed • tw case in such direstasiosis, lint with use secret view whatever, ' Isoth the rouses and the cousequencts of the measittes then in agitation. .Eren at the distance of thirty years it would he bath indisicreet and stiehoisourable in use to divulge these matters; nor is it necessary for my argument. It is enough for rue to declare t h at this, and this only, was the motive of way jonraey, •nd that this, and this (poly, was the ehararter of the counmeoicatious into which I entered while at Si. Petersburg's. _ _ It is moat true that 1 freely gave my opinion on the mat ters then under diecumion. I did not feel myself called open to conceal that I entertained ou this subject the same opi nions which were butlifelt and declared by my country, by the Iloase of Common; by Mr. Fox, and by Mr. Burke himself. It it haw, likewise, that in it letter which I wrote, whew all wan over, 10 Mr. Fox, I expressed much exult.. tiers at a result which, in my conscience I believe, had it been different, would have produced most serious mischief, and made au enemy 'of Catharine far more formidable than, • few years afterwards, we blond her unfortunate son to Ire. I Iwveheeu Informed that this letter was opened and read previous to its delivery to Mr. Fox. I will not believe it. I gave it.io a gentleman and a mall of honour.
