-aiould preserve Peace if possible-1 would not - aeillingly engage in a contest with Frante—l am :,ware of the had consequences to which it might possibly lead, but in case of any dire& injury, in sult, or indignity offered to us, I would not consent to hesitate for a single moment. In approving therefore of the vote proposed fur an increased esta ;bliihment, I think myself bound to let my Con stittienis know my reasons for so doing, all of which flow from my fears and apprehensions of the power and disposition of France. To one Hon. Gene:email (Mr. BA/axes) I must say that I listened with much regret, not unaccompanied with asto nishment, which was excited by the circumstance that he has not that rapid flippancy which may rriark the speeches - of other orators, so that it is no (lit'- : ficalt matter to understand any thing he says; that 7 -deatlenian tells us, that he will agree to vote for 'thFincreased Estimate', if Ministers will assure him 'thit the Country is in danger. Good God ! is it - possible the Honourable Gentleman can doubt it ; does he not see, does he not even feel it ? and what can be more :palpable to those who have eyes to see dangers, and hearts to resist en croachments ? Is not the danger apparent to any one who casts a glance at the map of Europe, now almost filled up by France ? They tell us, that with any augmentation we may make, it will still be impossible for us to keep up with France. True: but would not the same argument be equally applicable if Gentlemen thought proper to op pose an establishment-of even a thousand men ? A Right Hun. - Gentleman (Mr. R:YDER) has adverted to the Treaties of Utrecht-and Aix la Chapelle, to spew that no dependence ought to be placed on Parlia. inentary pledges fog carrying on War ; but surely he need not have gore so far back for proofs to suit his purpose. - Were we riot in - the last War engaged to rescue the Netherlands,..pledged to obtain -secu. rity and indemnity, : and boriod not to-make Peace while any Regicide Republic was left remaining in Europe ? - As. all these pledges have since been given up, when the Right Hon, GeritleMan goes so tar a ieldro prove his, position, we may admit his sin cerity, bat cannot with the same readiness ail_ =Dire his impartiality. We have before us the state, the number, and discipline of the French Armies, and yet they would have us make no pre parations to receive them, in case we should be coin_ gilled to do so. To increase our Establishments, ;hey say, would betray our apprehensions; but to .have:-neither Fleets nor Armies, would prove to France our confidence, and sense of our own safety. Whar excellent reasoning this !- - a-And we are to wait till a French force be landed—till a herald pro claims the War-,-arid till the sound of hostile trum pets summon us to the field ! Surely Gentlemen Cannot forget, that we cannot have a• regiment without the. knowledge of France aa -thot it, is impos_ . Bible for us to feign having an Army at Brentford— and that the Military Force, at least of Regulars, in. the Country, must be 'voted publicly, and pro_ vided for in this House, even to a single com pany. Are we to attend to no waffling, to re , ceive no caution from the treatment of countries bordering upon France? I own, that for one, if I heard of all my neighbours' dwellings being robbed and pillaged, I should hardly esteem it a good rea son for leaving my own house unprotected. -But it is said, that in an attempt to go to war with Eng land, or to invade this Country, France has nothing to gain, and every thing to lose. True, that she has )t much to lose beyond men and blood, for Which they care but little, but as there is, on the other hand, so much to be gained by success, I do not see how France can well be supposed to feel any disposition to Spare us. Haying already felt the force of our arms, 1 have little to hope from an irritated and mortified • Enemy, increased prodigiously in power,- and par ticularly On looking on the map of. Europe, I find it almost all to be France. I cannot bring 'myself to Chink that the insatiable ambition .of the First Consul aiming at universal dominion, would very willingly leave the fradion that now belongs to England. His power and his inclination must necessarily and naturally be progressive. France is pow by no means what it was under the sceptre of the Bourbons. They had some regard to Hereditary §ticcvssion, and the various relations conneded it : but .lionapa;te is under the moral and physical necessity of coming . to an agree. Silent with his subjeas, thet •he Will make hem-Master; of tbe World, if they will hilt consent to be his Slawt.s. I cannot, as an inhabitant of this Country, sit quite" at my ease when' see him eon- Vert Hoiland into a Province, when I perceive Prussia under his influence, Austria under his con troul, Spain under his feet, Portugal at his beck, Turkey encompassed with his toils, and observe him taking positions in all quarters of the world, Calculated more for the ruin of our commerce than for the extension of his own. Thai is the sort of commercial rivalry in which he is willing to engage with us. Amongst other things, we find him at Lout- Siena for no other purpose bin that of destroy ink the commerce of Jamaica. These positions are like - those which histOry informs us was the case ivith regard to same armies, and 'bY Such rnancouvres we may at length be deprived of aW power of resistance, and couspelled to yield without a blow. We have a right to think that he imagines this the shortest way to go? to work with out domineering coa?mer cial, Manufafturing, banking Country. admit, indeed, that, he might find himself disappointed in the result, and that-all this capital, indUstry, enter. prize, and wealth, would shrink, or ba hidden in the bowels of the earth, - when under the control of . a Despot ; but this affordi us no ground for . suppos -ing that this `is npt the way and mode in which he means to deal with us. , What are weto 'think of the moderation of the man who cashiers with so- little ceremony the . KiNG of EratattiA, and so Many other Princes ? Can we doubt :hat The de- Struttion of this Country is his principal dream at niklit; and first vigor) 'in the 'motning—that it is iris latest and most fervent prayer, whether his ori. sonS-;be addressed to Jupiter or 'Mahal:me, to the . Messiah of the Jews, or ` to, the Goddess of Reason ? :b'e'have heard; indeed, that BOthiparte is a great Philosopher and great philanthropist, and I di) . ;lot lP f ze him the better for it, particularly, as 'such piathicfs haVel already . been the effed of i ''pretend:d • spirit of'philanthropy. I cannot 1..1 - tliliOld'my imita:iot ar the'cant of his Western rfs7,u4(ify,l ..sly astonished sigh jar •oz.ir „„ dressed to 'one of the host acute and intel• ligent men in the world (Mr. Fox). What fol.' ly, to suppose that such phrases would pass cur rent upon him ! -The King of Etruria had a small share in this new Nation, but not, as it should seem, upon a very solid tenure :. for there was a rod kept for him in the corner, if he did not proceed according to direftions, like a little'boy in a go cart. lam not here dealing in invedive, unless I am doing so by barely telling the truth. The First Consul has selcded a pleasant family party, some of whom he treats with good dinners and enttrtain ments ; but what I have to deprecate is, his making Great Britain one of the family. I speak not from any particular information, but from my appre hensions and my fears;,, and I therefore do_ not. say to you, " Go ro Wrat ;'.' but I exhort 'you to assume a strong de.fiolsiye e attitude. lam not in different to the fitn!eSsof men' to exercise power. Every country must depend upon its fleets, its ar mies, and the integrity of those who have the ad ministration of the Government. Upon these the Nation must always rest for its safety.—lf what I have hitherto urged may be thought agreeable to those - who are considered as men of war, I am now about to administer a corrective, and do not mean to deviate fee-m the good humour that has hitherto prevailed in the Debate. I was not present on the first day of the Session, but I never read any ac. counts with more regret, than I did that of some of the late Ministers, who seemed to cry out, "Give us back our places." These persons ate divided into two classesone of them thinks a state of war pre ferable to that of peace. I honour some of them for their frankness in warning us of our danger, bet when a, Noble Laid (TstvireP) says, " restore us to_ our places, and we will not go to War :" I know mot which to admire most in him, the ingenuousness of youth, or the incaution of ineeperienee. I ask them, would they go to War for the Helvetic. Republic ? They reply, "No;" nut they would'be more 'vigorous in their iouzlliwity ; they would at least-snake wry faces —they would not lie stock-still, but instead of laying them down, they would hold their arms -himbo. Yet Ido not know, that while restraint is put upon aaiori, much can be got by growling. Ministers must have felt the oppressions. and encroachments of France as much as other men, and while they are resolved not to submit to insult, they know that such a determination may, be made known in mo derate expressions —Some say, "Let these incapable Gentlemen go out." I ask them why so ? Have they made any threats to France, and if they have made any, have they afterwards retracted them ? These high-minded men would not stoop to so low a job as that of signing a Peace, but they afterwards come and call upon Ministers to resign. For what 1 BecauFe the Doftor seems disagreeable to the patient, the latter does not like the cut of his beard— " Non arno te, ZeNdc, nec possum dicere quare ; Sett hoc possum dicere---non aino te—" Or as the passage of Martial has been put in an English dress : " I do not like you, Do&or Fell " The reason why, I can not tell ; " But this I'm sure I know full well— . " I do nut like you Dodor F;f.11." They ask what right Ministers .have to out confi dence ? I ask by what is it they have forleir,ed it .? He did not see that the time they succeedtd4o.the Administration was the most inviting. The suc cess of the Baltic and Egyptian Expeditions was more than doubtful, and . it was only an ad of chance and skill that gave the first a favourable issue, and certainly tne gratitude of England would not have been too mach evinced on the occasion, if even the meanest of the Sailors were to be crowned with laurels. In the ar rangement of Peace, Mini;tters had 'also to deal with a man who would be found to retort upon them the insolent language of Lord GgtNVILLE'S Letter, and call for " experience and the evi "denee of fads." I will he bold to say, that, every thing considered, the Peace was as advan tageous as could be obtained. The Loan,was after wards made upon terms perhaps too favourable to, the Public ; and in the last General Election it was known, that never did any Administration interfere less with the choice of the .Peoole, though one of the Ex-Ministers (Mr. Du No4s)- was careful jr the North, to take all the Eledioneering business upon himself. The Right, Hon. Gentleman (Mr. AD , RiNorox) in the situation of Speaker, had certainly, and I speak it with great respell, much personal ad vantage in point of dignity and appearance over his Successor ; but it was not to be expedeti that he should carry with him into the Cabinets of Europe, the qualities and language of Speaker of the House of Commons. He was not every where to have his Trident borne before him like his Mace. He was not to say to the exiled and dispersed Kings and Princes of other countries-,-"Gentlemen, take your plates;" and say to those who obtruded themselves into their situations, " s trangers mot. withdraw." When the French and Germans were contending for both sides of the Rhine, it would have been useless in him to proclaim." the Aye: mast- ga forth," or " Ayes to tie right, and Noes to the left." These things he could- not do, but .he effeded every thing that could have been expeded from a . reasonable Mar?, Is Mr. PITT to come to this House now, and attempt to supersede his own Nominees ? For none of us forget the encomiums he pasted upon them in preference to all.. others, and only with a single exception, I believe, in favour of my Hon. Friend (Mr. Fox). The Ministcrs, however, have been called a oauseoos mixture ; but I dare say the De-Minister thinks the contrary. be lieve he is one who has no objection to a glass of wine; and in that ,I mean no reflexion op him ; but he 'must certainly think, that.the'present Mi_ nisters are like a bottle, of tqiifly, which, when drained to the last and grounds,, by filling the bottle with white-wine, ha; only -to spa a little, and then. 'tis as goad as Pe former. - Even after this re commendation, some of these Gentlemen yo4cl the thanks of the' House to him, instead of a Statue, which, had it been erected, wooldbe as well deco rated with the Olive gran! ) which he delendee r , as by the Laurels of - War. I, for' one, think too much of his dignity to suppOse playing such' a double. game, as openjy sipport• and secretly to undermine the Ministers ! I have he,o'd of greilt chess-players dire4ing at . the same, ti4ie f'"? game:; ( !ifigic;4 r9 0 .." 1 ,1 hit 'l‘t wohfct much folly to be playing from wit himd into another, as it would be to attempt on a chessboard to check a 16ng, as the late Minister did Hts MAJESTY, by holding him out- to the Irish as the enemy of the Roman Catholics." He then proceeded to comment on the conduft of those who continued to persevere in the War, against Mr. Fox's warning voice, that it would only make France strong. They would make no peace with a Jacobin Republic, but said, " Approach me like the rugged Russian Wear, The artred Rhinoceros, or Hyrcanean Tiger— . Take any shape but that"— but Bonaparte ,bas done every thing for them. Jaco binisMwasshotight to be an ANTaus, always rising with. redoubled strength,but he crushed it at once, by giving it the trtjefraternal hug. The two parties in Opposition s he compared to two men in the boat of a balloon, who could ascend or descend with pleasure, but neither steer to the right or left. Mr. WINDHAM was following the machine with gas, while Mr. DUNDAS was opening the valve to let it out, and make the anchor drop upon some sugar island.— He represented Bonaparte as an instrument in the hands of Providence, not only for mischief, but for the better purpose or snaking every English and Irishman love his own Constitution . ; and concluded his humourous and elegant Speech, by declaring his opinion, that this great Country had no retreat in insignificance, and that if we were reluaantly compelled into a War, we should pursue it with vigour and effect, or resolve to perish in the sacred flame, with Glory and with Honou-. Mr. CANNING said, he rose with impressions of admiration and delight, after hearing so many passages of moment and of great encouragement ad dressed to the House, by a Gentleman to whom he wished in particular to return his heartfelt thanks— thanks, which were undoubtedly due to the last Speaker, who had not now, for the first or second time only, stood forth in defence of his Country, in such a manner, as must prove highly gratifying to the individuals who heard him, and greatly bene ficial to his Country ; &Laing the last two years of perilous and arduous struggle, he stepped forth on the most critical occasions of emergency, to stifle all animosities, all party feelings, and to unite all ranks and classes in the support of the public welfare, and the defence . of their Country, where it was most indanger. lie could not have witnessed what he had that day, without paying him that tribute of merited applause, that testimony of approbation,' in which he was sure he partook in the sentiments of every Gentleman who heard him. Two of the %Speeches, which had been de livered to-night, and particularly the last, were calculated to rally the House, and teach all parties to place their hopes solely upon themselves. That, in former discussions, speculations for safety were made on the death of an Individual s who now exercises the GI vernment of another Country. Some thought we might expcml to deprecate his anger, and incline him to a sort of clemency, and all was suffered to , depend upon the chapt er o f acc id ents . But they would do well to be appriAl, that even Providence itself was scarcely able to save the people who had not the spirit and courage to attempt to save themselves. In that respect, the Hononrable Gentleman he before alluded to, had certainly rendered much essential serfice to the Public. But he (Me. p.) differed from him in the notion, that there was any one set of persons in that House who wished to transfer the Administration a ;his Coun try from His Majesty's Servants to the power of France. Any measure they approved, he hoped they would support, whatever inducements they might have to dislike the persons : if such were their motives, they must not take credit with the Ministers for having acted under them ; for, in like manner, though they might approve of the men, they might also, and would, he hoped, at all times, oppose t);(i measures, when they thought them ohjeCtionable. He himself felt as early as could well he expressed, the extreme danger in which this Country was involved, and anxiously wished for some system effeaually defensive . to he adopted. The Right Hon. gentle man who made the present motion, certainly spoke with a more manly firmness and decision than any ot h er o f His Majesty's Ministers. ; but he confessed he should have liked the speech with which his proposition, was introduced better, had it come from the - person at the head of Administra tion. When he (Mr. C.), on a former occasion addressed them, he limited his distrust to the mea sure then under consideration—but when he saw the friendship of Prussia lost to this Country, Piedmont absorbed, the Independence of Switzerland given up, and Italy sunk into the arms of France, he could not but observe that we had lost several material advantages, and the means of forming Alliances, by a conduct, by which we conceded every thing to the First Consul, but never conciliated him, — With regard to his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. PiTT), he would beg leave to remind Gentlemen, that even his very name had not come from him in that House, except extorted by attacks made upon his charac ter ; and whenever this might happen, he should deem himself the most degraded and abandoned of human beings, if he did not endeavour to vin dicate him ; as to his assertions which were al luded to in a former Debate, he wished to set Gentlemen right. He had not stated, that the success of the Expeditions to Egypt, and to Co. penhagen were certain ; what he said was, that the present Administration were left in such a state by their Predecessors, in relation to these objects, that they had at least a chalice of success, without any responsibility in case of failure. He never utter ed even a wish for his Right Hon. Friend's (Mr. Pm.) return to office, though in his opinion there was no ,man, under whose direction the Country would be evallylsafe, np; a period in which, than tile . ".VPleßta thee- exercise of splendid talepts was sOeSsentially s nicosary. But he had abstained from it, .because 7 4,p0i4ht subjeft him to insinuations of motives . which',lle. looked upon with disdain. But after-all„ let : them away with that cant so common in the mouths of Gentlemen, that they would look to Measures only, and not to Men. It was riot by the harness, 'but by the horses that the Carriage of the State-was drawn—and /gel; were in faft, every t hing. To what did France owe its preseni state of end elevation ? She•owe4 it to one Man.

Friend to . the head of A da R ight 4tration. He wotild not say this was the wish of that .ad be Hon. Gentleman himself, for no man in existence e c n c ioft farther removed from the possibility even of the susP mia i. of interfering with the duties of His Majesty's prese nt r r ierd sters—for the last two years his Right .Honourable e ^ ta to had used his most strenuous efforts, not to gain ,'",. iri. transfer attachments -; but in doing so, and retinx i b - t o to private lite, he must not suppose, that it 'als,r t at mated him to withdraw himself from the wishes 0 4 a t. Public, but that- he must endure the gratitude a v e liair tachment or his Country. He was confident that thef ilu i• ters themselves would be ready to rescue that great aliall e te trial's Man from any imputation equally dishdtiOura,uot him and to themselves : and to remove even the suspieion, rita they Would suffer power to be exercised, where it 470 1 !. 1° . • rbe attended with responsibility. aAO Mr. WILBERFORCE said, that in v o ti ng for the z.- -- .., 0 e, to His Majesty, in answer to th e Sp e e c h f rom the Tnn t it he confessed he only felt one objedti on , w hi c h was, tP" t o seemed to express too great an attachment, on our P rff n i t Loluiriental Affairs.
