GEN ERA L
From tfeLEYDEN GAZEI i E.
(Translated from the French.)
Upon a motion, in the Irish House of Lords,
for an Address to the King and Lord Lieutenant,
after his Lordlhip had delivered a Speech to that
House on the 14th of April last year, Lord Mount
morris, a very young Nobleman of great abilities
and spirit, role and said,
My Lords,
IF I rife once more, encouraged by the indul
gence your Lordships have Ihewn to my youth,
it is not with design to fay a single word that may
occasion a debate, or give even the appearance of
opposition to the present motion; but to assure your
Lorcihips that I exceedingly approve a speech in
which there is not a word to engage the consent or
approbation of the Parliament to the detestable war
beyond sea, to a war which I think unjust and use
less in its beginning, absurd and ridiculous 'in the
condud of it, and ruinous and deftru&ive in the
issue, uniefs Providence interpose, and by its mighty
hand save the empire from deftrudion. I have the
fatisfaction of thinking <we are not engaged in such
a war; a war, conduced by a band of vagabonds
and knights errant, on the coasts of America. Had
there been a word with that view in the Speech, I
should immediately have protested against whatsoever
should have been done in cohfequence of it.
