In a few days alter yrrissia no longer existed as a preponderating power. ‘, Posterity' will conslier that period as one of the most decisive in she histories of England and of Fronce. ";; -- 'fire Treaty of Tut put 311 Clld to the fourth coalition. • fit Two great Sovereigns, lately enemies, united in offering peace to England but that Power, who, notu ithstanding sill the forewarnings she had re ceived, could not bring herself to subscribe to con ditions which would 'eau France in a 'bor e „I van . iageons situation than she W 35 atter the 'Treaty of Amiens, wonld not enter itro a negneiltion„lhe avoidable con,evences of which would have been to place France in a situation still more to her advan. t a ge. 'We refused, it wax said in England, a Treaty which Maintained the North of Germany, ims*ia, Saxony, ileons, and Hanover independent of France, and which secured all the outlets of our. p trade; how, then; could we agree at this tit ma to conclude with the .Emperor.oflhe French, when be has extended the Confederation 'of the Rhine to the North of Germano, and m found, on the banks of the Elba, a `French Throne, a peace, which, by' the course of things,. whatever the stipulations might be, would leave under his influence Hanover and all the ports of the North, those principal arteries of our commerce " Those (men who coolly took a view of the situ allot) of Eng,l end, .replied: --Two coalitions, of which 'each ought to • have lasted ten years, have been varcjilshed in a few months; the new advan tages moulted by France 4e the Tenth of those events, and England can no longer oppose them : doubtless the treaty of Amiens ought never to have been violated, It was,proper, in the next place, to adhere to the prilicy of Fox. Let, us at least now profit by tie lessons of experience, and avoid a third mistake. Instead of throwing our eyes back rct the past, let us turn them to the fut me: the Penin su l a is stilt opt ire, and diretited by a Govern ment secretly hosiile to France. Hitherto the weak ness of the Spanish Ministers, and the personal sen timants Ot the oid King, have retained Spain in the sy dem of France.. A new teign 'will unfold the get ins 'of hatred between the two nations. The Fa intly compact has been annihilated, and that is one of t ho advantages which England has derived font the Revolution. /h//atid, .ihnug l / 4 governed by a ench Prince, enjoys her independence ; it is her, in terest to V 61 1 , 1 111 afi the medium of our commerce with the Continent, and to tavOUr that comnierce for the purpose,: of partdking in its proti!s. Have we not reason to fear, ahould the war be contitintql, that Fiance may establish her influence in the Pe ninsula, and her Custom-houses in Holland ? • " Such was the language of men who knew how to penetrate into the secrk is of futurity. With pain they saw the peace rejected, which was proposed by Rtis , ht. They doubted not that the whole Conti nent would holm be ravished from E ng l an d , and that a Worder of things ,which it was iolposs;ble to !nevem would be established in Spain and ie Hol land. " In the meat') while v England demanded of the HI.-use of Ilraganza,, that it should qu i t t h e Penin sula,..atid teke refuge: in the 'lnuits. The parti san s of the Engli,h Ministry sowed feuds among the Princes of the House of Spain. The reigning dy nasty Was.removed for ever; and, in consequence of the arrangernerns at Bayonne, a new Sovereign, havirg with France one common powtr and , origin, wai called' to the Qovernment of-Spain. • • I " The interview at Erfurt!). gave occasion to new' propools for peace ; but they also were rejected.--- The same spirit which had broken off the negoeia lions of Lord Lauderdale direated the affairs ut England. 'rite fifth coalition broke out, the new .events of which again turned out advantageous to France. The only posts by. winch England preserved an avowed communication witb the Continent, toge ther with the Illyrian provinces, passed under the power of your Majesty by the Treaty of Vienna, and the Allies of the Empire beheld their power in ervaied. " The British Orders in Council had overthrown the laws of the commerce of the world; England, whose whole existence is attached •to commerce, had thus ulna Nn disorder , into' the. comm erce of oilier nations. She had contemned alt its privileges. The , decrees of Berlin and of Milan had ,repelled these monstrous novehies. Holland found th .t her posi tion Was 'm difficult one ; her Got/et:went had nor an ac:: ion sufficiently em-rgetic ; her MA - um-houses atnrded 'too little security to permit that 'centre of continental commerce to remain much longer insulated from France. Your Majesty, for the interests of your : people, and to, secure the exe cution of the system which you had oppos ed to the, tyrannical ad of England, saw , ;our self coMpelled to change the fate of Holland.--.' "'Your Mbjesty,' nevertheless, constant in your system, and in your desire of peace, gave .Ifaigland tee understand 'that she could not preserve the indepen dence of Holland, but by recalling her Orders in Council, or adopting pacific views, The ministers Of a commercial nation treated with levity overtures so greatly interesi;ng to its commerce. They re plied, that England had no power, over the fate of Holland. Jn the illusions of their pride, they mis conceived the motives of that measure; they 'pre tended to see in it an acknowledgement of the effi cacy of their Orders in Council, end Holland was'. united. Brice they would have it so, Sire, 1 think it useful at this moment, and I propose to your Ma jetty to eonsolidate that union by a Senatus-Con sUlta. The annexation of the' Hanseatic Tons of Lauenburg, and Of the whole coast' from the Elbe to the Ems, is commanded by circornotancos. That territory is already under the dominion of your Ma. " The immense warehouses at Heligoland would al way threaten to inundam the Continent, if a single point remained open to the English trade upon the . coast of the North Sea ; and it the mouths of the Jade, the Wetter, and the Elbe, were not for, ever eloasclagainit her. " The British Orders in Council have totally de= stroyed the privilegeS of neutral navigation ; your Majesty can no longer supply your arsenals, and have a sure channel tor, your commerce with the North, but by means of 'internal navigation. The repairing and enlarging of the between Ham btngh and Lubeck, and 'the 'construction of a new Canal, whiCh will unite the Elbe to the.Weser, and the Weser to the tam, which will only require four or five years labour, and, an expenditure of fifteen or 20 millions, in a country, the soil of which otters no physical obstacles, will open to the French rner chants a cheap, 64 , , and saferoute. Your empire . Cail always trade with the Baltic ) , convoy to the North the produce of her soitand her manufactures, and draw iron thence the attieles necessary for your Majesty's navy.

I • Peace will tak e place at last; for sooner or later, the great interests of nat:ons, of justice, and of humanity, wil prevail over pas,ion and hatred. But • the experienCe of GO-'years has shewn us that peace with England can only 'afford to commerce - a de ceitful security. Iu 170, in Feb.' 1793, itt 180'1, in the instance of Spain, as in May, 1803, the period of the rupture of the treaty of Amiens, Eng land commenced hostilities before she declared war. Vessels which navigated in the faith of , peace, were taken by surprise ; commerce was plcinclerce, peaceable citizens were deprived pf their liberty, and the ports of England. were filled with th e s e di sgrace - , ful trophies. Sh ou ld' these examples he et fr re, newed, the subjecits of England, travelling7iither for pleasure or business, whose properties '•and persons shall be secured in all ports &Om tbe Baltic Sea to the Aclridtic Gulf, will be answerable for these attempts ; anti if the English Government, for the purpose of making the people of London to, - get the injustice of the wdr, will gratify theirs with the sight of prize*, taken in contempt of the laW of nations, they will also have it in their power. to show , them the losses which will most ce total). result' irotn it; if"!
