SAMUEL SMITH presented a Petition from the Maltsters of Leicester, praying for a repeal of the Bill imposing regulations on the wetting - of Malt,' which was ordered to lie on the Table. The Small Note Bill was read. a thiid time, and passed. NAVY ESTIMATES. The Report of the Resolutions of the Committee on the Navy Estimates having been brought up by Mr. ALEXANDER, and read a first time ; on the Question for their second reading, The Right Hon. T iIO,vI.IS G REV V I LEE rose, observing, that did he conceive the House of Com mons at present in the same state in which it was uuaiij plad on subjects of this kind, he should have employed 'only such arguments as applied to the substance and matter of the Resolutions them selves : but at present he saw the House placed in a situation, not,only unprecedented, but unconstitu tional. Let them look hack to the state of the pro ceedings, and they would find His Majesty's Mi nisters, in the course of this Sessions, expressed themselves in the most inconclusive and inconsistent manner. Sometimes their language seemed to be in a stile calculated to manifest a disposition to maintain the dignity and independency of the Country ; [a. cry . of bear ! bear ! from the Minis terial 'side] and, at other times, they were observed . to adopt a language diametrically opposite, and seemed to 'concur in the sentiments of those who were disposed to acquiescence [a cry of bear ! hear ! ' from the Opposition shie]. It might have been reasonably exile led, that when, Ministers proposed -what they conceived to be a system of solid ancl sub_ . stantial defence, they would have offerednis some of themotives on which' their opinions were 'founded. They might hav - e acquainted us what was the na ture of our security, and what of our daeger. If there was really no danger, why so large a force ? and if danger existed, why so small a one ? hitherto they had beerenearly silent on the state of , Europe ; and the language held from the Throne was at this time remarkably deficient: If we looked. to the words- of the Monarch, on the first day Of the Session, there was not -one sentence ,of it which would not be equally. applicable to any period of our history. It dealt entirely in truisms attd gene. ral observations ; but it contained not the opinion of the Crown or of the Ministers. He th en con trasted this language with the Speech as &slivered at the conclusion of the Peace of 1763 and that of 1783. In the former His Majesty said, " t:hat he Observe:l, with satisfadioni•in the severaleVowers of Europe engaged in the late war, the strongest assurances, &c:' These words must halve un questionably applied to the existing situ ttion of things. In November, 1783, His Majesty assured his Parliament, " that he was happy to ad d, that he had no deiubt but 'that all the other Power! I joined with him in their wishes for the continuance Of Peace." The present speech, hoWever, wets - to tally different, and left us nothing to expeet either of hope or fear. No reason was given wily the number of our Establishments should he stria tier or greater. It was. equally distant from assurat see of War, or any hope of Peace. Being thils silent as to any thing like reasons,. he would ask, who's was the meaning of the vote of 52,000 Seimen ? NV - hen, Peace was concluded, the vote was for 70,000 glen, and, the Minister at thesame time stated, the It the Peace Establishment would be 30,003; 'and how, without any farther information, as if it was go by guess or draw lots for the number, the Wouse was called upon far the number of 50,000 Eden, and this too before the Country had yet come to its Peace Establishment. Was this, then, a 'situa tion fot the House to be placed in ? Or did it not mother become them to compel His Majesty's Miniotern to afford such explanations as would relieve.th t House froio the obloquy of voting 50,000 men without a single argument ? Such was the mode of c hfitempt with which. the House of Commons 'was treated. Had we any viewigiven us of our COMM?. tcial re, sources ? any comparative estimate of the 1s laritime strength of Europe ? And, if not, did it not be come the House, before they confirmed t hese re; solutions, to consider' : the degree of dang*.r from without, and the force, we possegsed effen e tually to Oppose it ? From without,we kne tv, from a variety . of circumstances, that the inil: ?once of France with the Court . of Petersburgh, i s =let greater than we could•'arish, or' was ceensistent with our intetest. It was indeecf.to be: hoped, that the moderation displayed by the feigning Emperor, in other instances, may at,least relieve us • from some part of qur apxiety. Pith re spdt to the late Convention with the North ern Powers, he owned that 'he - should feel a, greater degree of Consolation _if it - ha A been more explicit ; and ss to "the .explanatorj Con vention which followed it, it seemed to to ttn even less satislatior! than Lfie fOrmei, and 'app fared to announce nothing more than our failure. Very slender hopes intleed could be built on the success of any future or :pending Negotiations wi ill that Court, after the House had lately heard, fr inn His Majesty's Foreign Secretary, of State ( Lord HAWKESBURY), that the vie - tory - of Copenha gen had made the Negotiations with Russia the m(: it diffi, cult he had ever. been engliged in. Turning their eyes to Holland, a circumst ante would present itself which, though he could .n.rot assert with an; t ocular. certainty, yet was confirmed by the concurrent tes timony of eery one with whom he hapt coned to converse lately returned. from that Country. By all•those it was univerially stated ) that th ire pre. [PMCE SIXPENCE.. vaited there the greatest and most Unparalleled e ., .1 ertiont in the increasing and Strengthening their Navy, and in their unexampled - activity in bdildieg vesSeld upon alarger construdion thati they eves had before. As these immense efforts Were het imnfediately necessary; nor, called for . bs , their ovvil . necessities, it was therefore evident that they must he entirely direded under the inflUenee of rraneee Next casting a view towards France itielf; we ritual behold with amazement; the prodigiOus and gigantic efforts she was making towards the erection sirid tee; establishinent of a mast powerful Marine. In the Opie nion of a RI Hon. Friend of his (Mr. Fox), on a ftirther night, it seemed as if he conceived the state Of the Navy of France to be conterriptible; and wished fer nothing so much as that the proof of Superiority should now depend on the issue of a battle between the the two Fleets in their present situation. CerteinlY if it depended on an immediate issue, the event could nut be doubted ; but the case would be quite differe ent, 4hen'the House tefleded, that the Nevy of France .makalow justly be considered is the NAVY of all Europe, for they were in fad. identified, and the Navy of every other Eeropean Power may justly be thrown into the scale.. Every acquisition mad by France, took doubly from us, as we were ex eluded from the Potts of all its Allies, and had nti means - of touching any of their Coasts: Portugal, though it ekpressed its satisfadion at the, assistance we afforded them in the course of the War, had lately Manifested a disposition that Seemed to be dilated by France. Every one was acquainted with the indignity offered to the British Flag in Portugal, and that under the' eyes of a British • Prince i and surely; if its former alispositionS toe wards England had continued; and if there was not a total changee ,so great an insult never could have been offered. With regard' to Spain, it Would be . unnecessary to use any .words about than natiare was for ever 10 - st to the rest of Europe, and it was ~ -• row completely under, the don inion Of France; • - He would next draw their attention to the States next the Mediterranean, which exhibited the power and charade'r of France in the most vrikieg point of view. There- may be seen and distindly traced the mind and purpose of the Eraerriy. Did . : not every thing prove that they were every way hostile to us ? And,without very strong and decisive measures, how could we possibly resist die wail.. known views of France upon Egypt, and its preen sions upon Africa ? Since the PeaCe with Torkeyj were not their intrigues constantly aaive, sometimes in threatening the°Morea,s sometimes in encroach: ments upon the Republic of the Seven Islands. and sometimes in, ettpletyini conciliatory tfie s 3:;tir'es • To sheW still further its insatiable views of ambit rind and aggrandizement, he knew it was conia dently reported at Vienna, and other prts of tic Continent, that. an arrangement was making, ire which France was to have Tuscany in addition to the principality of Parma. Turning to 'Switzete4 land, he could not but express his surprite at the assertion made in that House, that in the subjuga tion of that Country,' neither the dignity nor hoe nour of Great Britain had been compromised; Hos so ? How could that be made ous; if it was left uneontradided, that we had mixed in the transace tion ? He understood . there could be no doubt that a person of consideration, and high in ,the confer (knee of His Majesty's Ministers had at first appeared in the affairs of Switzerland ; and if so, the anecdote itself was a proof that -We took a part in that business.. Returning to the Mediterranean, hd asserted the plain and naked trutli to be, that owing to the augmented power and influence of Pranced'. should the War recommence, we ,shOUld nor have single tation in the Mediterranean, with the ex, ception. of Malta. When the nuMber of so,occ:i Seamen was called for, the House should hate been told whether the naval establishments of Malta were to be-included. We at present knew no Mort" than the. single fad, that Malta had not yet been given up, bat we know not the reason why ; nor hona long it was meant to be retained: How was the final arrangement to be settled. ? Or had they got Russia yet to contribute to the go,Coal. which Was said to be necessary for defraying, the expences of is Government ? Was it to .be kept in wee, reignty of. England or was it only retained. till at near arrangement could'be Made ? For his peva part s were he asked die question, be Would say, (hat in consequence of the vast aggrandizement and eater:.: sion of France, Malta ought, in tense and justice, to be retained by this Country; and no more lie heard about the Indepenslence of that Island. No one could be ignorant that its independence was but a eltimera d and that it must be under the protelion, either of France or England. Adverting to the state of ouf West India Colonies, he asked if it was such as pro= mixed to afford any relief or assistance to this Count try ? What could be expeded from Jameiea, in the face of the sickness and disturbances of St, Do., mingo ? What hopes Can be formed from Grenada a while the French were in possession of their newly acquired Louisiana ? With resped to the tithe when Martinique was ceded to France, he e could not but consider it as liable to many objedions. -- He would not then give an opinion whether, from . occurrences it would have been tight to have retained every thing that had not been ceded at an earlier, period j but it was certainly an universal belief, that Minis ters had at one time dispatched orders to retain every thing which still remained in our hands ; and if they were then so positive. as to an approaching aupt urea it surely was not, a seasonable time to surrender w the enemy the key of the West India Islands. Turn „ing to the East -Indies, he had to observe d that he scarcely ever . of late had,oscasion to speak in that House without using argutrienti drawn from the daily news'of acquiescence to the aggrandizaartent of France in-that quarter. He was now told to a plan in agitation to cede the island ofCochin to that li4
