Lord ‘T emﬁe. i I:@m much obliged to the Noble
Barl with the wugmm?rfw%hmmwn so many
ingenious lights on the fubje of this day’s debate.
T must cohfgl%,:i’{'ér»'m own pa,i'ﬁ,._ that 1 find it ex
tremely dificutt how to condud myfelf on the pre
sent occasion. I would wilh to convey my sentiments
freely, and without disguise, to your Lordships, but
that many insurmountable obstacles (tand in the way.
IF T said all I think, perhaps it might be attended
with inconveniencies, which of all things I would
with most sedulously to avoid. If, on the other
hand, [ should give unconne@ed opinions upon
several points now under your Lordthips confidera
tiog, perhaps I might be mifunderitood. Ti\‘e {ub
je& is rather delicate, and probably whatever 1
may think or feel on the occasion may be better
fupprefled, becdule 1 have no doubt but that every
thing which pailes within thete walls, will soon
find ir’s way to the other fide "o_t:vthe“ Atlantic.
Were I to speak my opinions,freely, it is more than
probable I thould find many things in the conducé
of the Ministry to find fault with; nor do I iook
upon wyfelt engaged by any opinion 1 thail chrow
out this day, to exprels the leait approbation of
their meafres. Nevertheless, at o important a
crisis as the present, when the dearelt interelts of
this connatyy are at {take, I {hould think myfelf ve
ry :'-:;»roachal!)lc indeed, if T did not at lealt state
my general reasons for giving a mnegative to the
motion now on your Lordship’s table. I never
entertained a 2 doubt for my own_ part, that this
country had a supreme legislative authority over
America in every case, in which the intercits and
government of the whole empire were material
ly and eff:ndally concerned. Yet I'had no hand
whatever in laying on the Stamp ad, though
it was patronized and carried as a measure of
Government_ by a near relation, whole memory
{hall be ever dear to me (his brother George Gren
ville) I had no interview, nor was [ conneéed with
the next Adminiitration, who repealed that law,
as I thought it no less than a surrender of our con
fticutional Sovereignty over America. I had no
hand in laying on the dutiesin 1767, nor in the
partiul repeal of them in 1770, the very point which
gave immediate rife to the present troubles. I took
no part in the violent measures which have {uc
ceeded, nor of that fatal one, the worst of all, of
fending the tea to America, and less than'all, have
1 had any hand in advising the condué of the pre
sent war. To the contrary, were I fully to speak
my mind, I should perhaps censure it as totally
wrong. I must, however, recur to the principles
1 firlt set out on, which is, thatif the Sovereignty
of this country, to every purpose of legal and
equitable government, be not fully and effe&tually
preserved, then America is loft, and the nation:is
undone. This country stands indeed in a most pe
rilous situation, ruin and destruction present them
{elves on eithér hand. On this fide Scylla, on that
Charybdis. df we do not, by the molt fkiful ma
nagement and dexterity! steer clear of the rocks and
quickiands, with which we are surrounded, then
1 do not heficate to pronounce our shipwreck ine
vitable. ’ Ihis, my Lords, I'am free to declare, is a
task of no common difficulty. The perils that a
wait us are numerous and of the firit impression.
The firlt ind belt men are divided in opinion, both
on principles of habit and conviction. [ hope and
tralt, the King’s servants are fully acquainted with
their own situation, as well as that of the public.
That is the firft step to a&ing right. This is a sea
son that requires much refiedtion, little to be said,
and a great deal ro be done.” I have my own
thoughts on the fubjec, but rhis is no plice to im
part them. The firlt easterly wind would most cer
tainly watt them to America; I thall be therefore
silent. I wish sincerely that Adminftration would
consult among themselves, and call for the opinions
of those who unite with them'm fentiment.’ Thisis
not a proper place to declare those opinions; in
short, Adminftration muit be left to determine.
They are in pofl.flion of the information necessary
to form a plan, and decide on the belt mode of
carrying it inta execution. * They are acquainted
with the whole detail; they have lights which we
havenot;and they ought to look forward to all the
consequences. On the whole I am. and shall ever
be, for coercive measures, till America acknow
ledges the legislative power of the parent state.
When the queltion of expediency arises, I shall freely
speak my mind. At present we are not arrived at
that period, the dispute now turns on a struggle for
power; as such [ shall be for maintaining the su
premacy of this legislature; and as a neceflary step
for that purpose, shall give to Adminftration my
confidencc and support, and consequently give my
negative to the motion by the noble Duke. -
- Lord Townfhend. Having at firlt entertained
doubts relitive to the claims of this country over
America, I gave the subject for some time all the
attention in my power I considered the several
charters. [examined the relation both countries,
ftgod_in‘ towards each other. I looked back to the
infant as well as the more mature state of the Colo
nies; and was at length convinced that America
~ was bound by every rule-of jultice, and every tie of
gratitude and political obligation, to contribute
_towards the common support; and consequently
that America, from the beginning, had been the
~aggreffor. Butr, my Lords, ,thbughil;th,ejufﬁgﬁfiﬁgi
- Great-Britain to controul every part of the domi
" nions of the crown, were to be questioned; though
the charters were binding and valid, to the extent
/cq.t,itehded, still the fate of things is such, as ren
ders it impofiible to look back to the causes of this
- war, {o as to answer any wife or salutary purpose.
—The justice of the cause, is loft in the din of war.
The noble €arlin the blue ribbon, (Lord Temple)
has told you very justly, that ic is now become a
struggle for power; the dic is cast, and the only
point which now remains to be determined, is in
what manner the war can be most effetually prose
cuted, and {peedily finifhed, in_order to procure
that unconditional submission, which has been
so ably’ slated by the noble Earl with the white
ftaff, (Lord Talbot.) I know of no method so
probable o insure fucceis to bur operations, as
that now adopted. By it we procure an immediate
{upply of men. Men trained to the ule of arms,
and of course fit for immediate service. Andl
~have no realon to doubt, that the measures now
pursuing will put an end to the war, in the course
of a single campaign. This will opcrate doubly,
in procuring the great ‘obje¢t we have in view. Ic
will at once put an end to the calamities of war,
and save an immense expence to the nation. A no
ble Eurl (Lord Effingham) has appealed to me, in
relation to the present state, condition, and dispo
sition of Ireland, to which I can oply aniwer, if
any disturbances should break out in that kingdom,
they must be fupprefled. Ido not believe they will,
nor have I any reason to think such an event at all
probable . His Lordship has {tated his apprehen
sions of a French or Spanish invasion. That too
[ think equally improbable. France will be cauti
ous of making any attempt of that kind, as long as
the remembers the defeat and deftruétion of the ar
mament sent there under Thurot, during the late
war. But supposing that the noble Earl’s fears
were well founded, 1n my opinion it would be an
additional motive for our puthing on the war with
vigour and effe&; in thort to induce us to termi
‘nate it by the most powerful and decisive operati
ons; for if it should b permitted to linger beyond
the present campaign, we will have a right to ex
pe&t the interference of some foreign power, who
may probubly avail itlelf of our domeitic troubles,
and civil diftrac&tions. The noble Duke who made
the motion, has said that foreigners were attempted
to be' forced on Ireland, and chat it has been ltrip
ed of its national military eltablifhment. As to the
last, if it be a fault, it cannot be charged on the
ministry of this country. It it was an a& of their
own parliament ; and if his Majesty has not bound
himfelf by his royal promise, there was nothing to
prevent him from fending the whole or any part
of the military force stationed in that kingdom, to
what part of the empire he pleased, where the exi
gencies of affairs, or the operations of war should
make it neceflury. = In respect to foreigners, the ve
ry state ot Ircland, as reprelented by the moble
Duke, would be a tufficient reason for his-Majelty
to fend a body of foreigners into that kingdom tor
its defence, without advising with his parliament
there; for I believe the noble Duke will hardly
contend, that the King, with the advice of his Par
liament here, or on an emergency previous to such
‘advice, may not fend a body of troops into any
part of the dominions of the British crown, for its
defence and protection.
