enough to break. No'refie&ing and
impartial man can doabt, that the true
interelts of Great Britain and Ameri.

fame in most. A liberal and compre
hensive view of these can lead 1o no
other ‘conclufion than that they are
caiculated to cherish and invigorate
each other. But a sense of this com
}ntibility and indentity of interests,
effectual as is ought to be in communi
cating a charaéter of steady friendfhip
to our relations, is not the only pledge
of harmony between us ; for a thou

BRITISH HOUSE OF LORDS.
. Fanuary 23.
[The following is the speech of Lord Gren
ville on moving for an enquiry into the con
duct of Britith Mipifters. It is such an Ex+
pose of that government, as cannot be flat
tering to its friends Lhowever gratifying it
may be-to its enemies. ]
‘““ My Lords—lt is with very great
gratification to myfelf, I gave way
to the-ucble earl, because the share the
noble earl has had in the glorious tri
umphs of his country, entitled him to
be heard with reverence and refpeét,
when {peaking of the calamities which
have befallenit. Not only did I give
way willingly to him but it would
have been infinitely more gratifying
to me, to have left to men of young.
er and of more a&ive minds, the task
of offering an amendment to ‘the ad
dress which has just been proposed to
yout lordfbips. But that anxiety is
not to be resisted, which induces me
to offer myfelf at this early period of
the difceflion. lam anxious to anti
cipate the probability of any circum
stance which may diver: the course
of the debate from that which is of
the firt consideration, and the osly.
feature to which it is poflible for me
to give my attention on the present
occasion. For others, I cannot pre
sume to julge ; but for myfelf, my
heart 1s fall, and I must give vent to
those feelings by which ‘my mind is
imprefled. There are in the king’s
{peech may topics that ought to en
gage and mult, on future days, en
gage the aitention of this house. On
future days you mult examine, not
only the effect, but the foundation of
those calamities which are adverted
to in the {peech. You must confider
not oaly the effe@® and foundation of
those calamities, but the consequences
they are likely to produce on the state
and condition of the country and the
ipirit of the people. You cannot shut
your eyes to those gneftions. Itis in
vain you attempt to shut them ; they
will force themselves upon your atten
‘tion. In the fame manner that fub
jeét which is treated of in his majesty’s
speech, I mean the topic of our dif
ferences with America, thete will
come a day when you must examine
what is & has been the condué of the
-of this country towards
America. There will come a day when
it will be impoffible.to be borne in a
‘country, which calls itfelf free, that
‘there should be laid before such an
a{lembly as this, garbled, multilated,
‘and misrepresented documents; not
to keep back informatipn, but to give
information direétly contrary to the
fa&. Thatis a queflion you will have
one day to examine. -~ There is also
another question, a pretty serious
‘queftion, whether you have in this
‘country any goverament at all 2 Whe

and regard for the public interest and
fafety of the country. ~Bat even thele
queltions great and momentiious zs
they are, fufficient, any one-ofthem,
to have occupied the care and atten
tions of a whole feflion of pailiament,
greater, Gop knows, each of them,
than any of the queßtions which have
at any former period occupied the
attention of parliament ; all” these, in
my mind, {ink to nothing in compari
son with the duty which you are this
day called upon to discharge. Ifay,
this day, because T mean to contend
and I shall {liew you before I fit down,
that this duty is not a duty you cin
put off under any {pecious pretences
whatever. You are called upon now,
at this very moment to do jultice to
your country and yourfeives, to do
jultice to the themory of those who
have fallen in your country’s cause.
You are called upon to do jufltice to
the memo:y of those who have perifhe
ed ingloriously, in entetprizes the ut
molft fuccels of which could have pro
duced nothing likely to be attended
withadvantage. Enterprizes, which,
instead of succeeding, or even partial
ly succeeding have utterly and com
pletely failed ; for that is the true
charalter ; thatis the true defeription
of those campaigns planngd by bhis
majelty’s minifiers, which have waft
ed the firength of the country. Every
one of the military operations, in
which our armies have been engaged,
have completely,totally, and irretriev
ably failed. And you, forfooth, my
lords, are this day to hear from the
throne, aye, and to be fatisfied, not as
the noble baron said who seconded
the address, with an af{urance, that
his majefly will be pleased to lay alk
the papers upon the fubj:&s referred
to before you, for thereis no such as
surance in the speech of the king’s
commiflioners, but you are to be fatis
fied with the aflurance of the king’s
commiflioners, that his majesty’s min
isters will be graciously pleased to lay
before you those papers which they
traft will prove fatisfattory. . T have
no doubt they mean, in this feflion,
as in the laR, licerally wo verify the 4f
fertion—they wili lay before you, such
papers, and parts of papers, and ex
traéls of papers, as will be fatisfactory
to themselves, and they may trust will
be fatisfactory toyou ; and those, my.
lords, be assured, are the only papers
you will have. I trust you are not to
be so deluded. I was prepared to
have Rated, but the king’s speech an
ticipated me, that there was not one
man in the country who wasnot con
vinced that the disasters of the last
campaign had not been made the ob
ject of vigorouns, immediate and effec
tual inquiry®==l am glad to fee, that,
by a sense of their own situation, and
by a convi&ion of their failures, those
ministers who had advised his majelty
to tell bij,gm;porgtion of London, that
no enquiry was’ neceflary, have advis
ed his majf:ﬂ;l not to wait till his par
liament informed him what the cir
cumstances conne@ed with those fail
ures are, but merely, that he has di
refled the papers to be laid before us.
It is not poflible that Parliment can
meet without going into an enquiry
on this fubje&t. Let not any argu
ment be raised upon that part offthe
speech ; for though we may thank his
majelty for laying those papers before
us, which neither are nor can be ex
pected to be to our f{atisfaction, yer
there is not contained in -the address
one single word to effe&, that we will
proceed to the consideration of these
papers. There is no plédge in ‘the
address, of our sense of that duty we
owe to'the country. No pledge that
we will discharge our duty in a differ
ent tone from that in which we dis«
charged it last year. - None of thefa
thiogs, are mentioned in the address,
butiris a mere complimentary ad
