After descanting on these and a great variety of
other important particulars, with infinite clearness,
and more than even his ordinary faaie of ability,
his lordlhip desired that, in not opposing the ad
dress, he might not be hereafter deemed liable to
the charge of having, by his aiTent that day, pre
cluded himfelf from objecting to the particulars of
the provisional terms with America, should they,
when laid before the house, appear to him to be ob
jeeionable ; and having enforced this desire in fach
an explicit manner as rendered it impo'ffible for him
to be misunderstood, his lordship concluded with
again earnestly recommending that house to be una
nimous on the present occasion, in order o?convince
cur enemies that nothing but an honourable peace
should prevent a vigorous continuance of the war
on the part of Great-Britain.
The chancellor of the exchequer, in a long and
able speech, asserted the fair and honourable inten
tions of ministers. He declared, they desired not
to ensnare any one man, or tic him down to more
than the address, on the face of it exprefied. He
owned the principles on which administration were
proceeding, were laid down at the time of Mr.
Fox's being in office, and that ministers were now
pursuing the system, of which the speech of that day
was a detail. He said, he felt Mr. Fox's laying in
his claim to a share of the merit as a compliment,
and that he would, with his leave, parody the two
ludicrous lines he had quoted:
You've given us noble praise; but in your na
ture's fpight,
You hop'd to find us wrong, but fee we're clearly
right.
Mr. Pitt, with great solemnity, protested, as a
man of honour, he would never be a party to a pro
feffion which lie did not exped to fee fulfilled, nor
league with those who profeffed more than they in
tended to perform. In answer to what had been
said by lord North and others, of the difficulty of
fpcaking to provisional terms, until laid fully be
fore the house, Mr. Pitt said, he trusted the no
ble lord, who had so ably and fojuftly advised mi
nisters what to do in the prelent cribs, and every
other man of candour present would admit, that it
was not unreasonable to exped that a few days
might pass before they would be ripe for commu
nication.
Mr. Burke accused lord Shelburne with express
ly laying the blame of granting the independency of
America on parliament, in the words of the speech.
He also charged Mr. Pitt with acrimony, and said
he would exercise an old man's right and give him
a lesson. He then entered upon an examination
of the chancellor of the exchequer's speech, and
censured various parts of it.
Sir Joseph Mawbey delivered a strong panegyrick
on lord Shelburne, grounding his praise on the uni
form tenor of the noble earl's condud from the
commencement of the American war.
General Smith said a few words relative to that
part of the speech, which referred to India, and
then it being ten o'clock, the address was read and
agreed to.
