HOUSE of COMMON Sa
THE moment Mr. Pitt fat down, a buz of
approbation pervaded the house, and it was
some little time before the Lord Advocate, who
rose immediately, could obtain a hearing. At
length the house being called to order the learn
ed Lord said, the luftre of abilities, and the
splendor of eloquence, displayed by the honora
ble gentleman who spoke last, having proved
that a very uncommon share of talents had
defeended in an hereditary line from a parent un
commonly gifted to a son equally blessed, it did
not at all furprize him that a voluntary emotion
of applause should burst out on the conciufion of
the speech the house had just beard, and that
each gentleman should be anxious to communi
cate to his neighbour his approbation of it. That
fufficiently accounted to him for the difficulty he
found to obtain a hearing wheft heoffered himfelf
to the notice of the house; now, however he
would, with permission, proceed to state his feh^
timents on what had palled on the debate of that
and the proceeding day. And firft, he could
not but observe, that on both days the debate had
taken a very comical turn. He had the precced
ing day, expressly and openly told the house the
meaning he annexed to the words of the address,
and upon which sense of them alone, he had re
solved to give it his vote. The fame thing had
been done again by others, who had spoken on
the fubjeU, and who had, as he did, vote for the
address. Notwithstanding this, gentlemen on
the other fide of the house perlifted in forcing a
meaning, upon the words, entirely different from
that which he and others had expressly declared
to be the meaning, that they understood, and for
which thev had thought themselves warranted
to vote# Surely this was rather a new mode of
debate, and a mode, which to fay the least of it,
was not very candid, since those who did not vote
for the address, at lead ought not to oblige those
who did vote for it to acknowledge a meaning
for their vote, which they themselves had pub
licly difavowed#
In short, once more to prevent the effect of
those insinuations which had been thrown out,
and which might perhaps have been suggested
with the intention of inducing the public witb
out doors to form opinions of his conduct equal
ly ill-founded and injurious, he would fairly tell
the house, that before he came to town he ex
pected to hear the news that had lately been
brought, and which every man must feel and la
ment as a great national misfortune; and this
expectation was 7 rt founded on any particular
intelligence or communication he had received,
but on the chance of war and the probability of
events ; on his arrival in town, therefore, he
read the speech with the most scrupulous jealou
sy, fearing to find in it any one word or expressi
on which might in any fort whatever pledge any
to a particular line of conduct in that house. He
examined it minutely and seriously, and he would
be bold to fay, that so far from the address pledg
ing those who voted for it, to vote on any future
occasion, otherwise than their judgment, found
ed on the particular circumflances of that occa
sion, might direct, the language was so !oofc and
general, that itbound not to any one fpecific vote,
much less did it pledge the house to promote a
war. [Mr. Fox faying hear ! bear /] The Lord
advocate said, perhaps his expreflion was too
wide, but he Should halve come soon to a more
)explicit declaration of the words, and have Shew-
ed, that though war certainly was his meaning
when he gave his vote for the address, yet, that
what he intended to have understood was, that
it did not bind the house to vote for what is cal
led the prosecution of the American war. Had
the words " American war" been inserted in thq
address, undoubtedly it would have been object
tionable, and that on more grounds than one.
In the firft place, the expression might have been
deemed a vague and unmeaning one ; and many
gentlemen might have said with him, that they
did not understand what the words "American
war" corre&ly imported, or whether they meant
the mode of carrying on the war, or the end for
which it was to be prosecuted. The fa& was, that
matter was by no means the question before the
house ; when it was, doubtless it would chal^
lenge a great deal of debate, and a great variety
of arguments would be offered on the occafion d
Those who Were for abandoning the American
war wholly, would Slate their ideas of the ex^
tent they would fay, whether they tho't Halifax,
New-York and Charleftown (ifwe ftillhad them)
ought to be given up. His Lord Ship observed,
that he did not mention Canada, but confined
himfelf to North-America, pToperly so called,
for the purpose of being fully and corre&ly un
derstood, and to prevent the smallest appearance
of evasion. Other gentle ^en who might think it
right to abandon the whole of that Country,
would argue the question and meet on that
ground ; and others again, who thought it expe
dient or politic to fend a reinforcement to Ame
rica, and continue an excursive war through that
vast continent, would necHfarily and natually
State to the house, why they were inclined to
support that idea.---While he mentioned this,
he begged not to be understood as giving an opi
nion of his own, not that he meant to fay that he
had no opinion# He certainly had a decided one,
and when the proper time came for Stating it to
the house, he would do it without reserve. At
present he was merely suggesting, that had any
fpecific purpose been expressly laid down in th^
address, as the object refpeding which, that
house should be called on to give the King as
surance of support, it could not have failed of
challenging a great deal of objection# Having
added frein arguments upon those grounds, he
assured the house the time could not be far dis
tant, when ministers must have made up their
minds, upon the fubjed# He did not mean to
precipitate their judgments, but at the fame time
must observe, that considering the national Situ
ation, the matter would admit of as little delay
as pofhble. Debberat Roma, feerat Saguntums
Gentlemen knew, that gallant atchievements
rarely followed tardy deliberations#
^lnsinuations, he observed, were frequently
thrown out against ministers, and sometime if
was said, they ftipported measures which they
did not approve, and which were diametrically
oppohte to their own principles. Such insinua
tions as these, he believed were not unfeldom
suggested, merely for the service ofthe moment,
and by gentlemen who themselves cfebdieved
them even when they used them. He wculd
therefore embrace an opportunity which he wag
glad to have, of publicly declaring what he had
before said in private, and that was, that in eve
ry great and important national crisis like the
prelent, no good whatever was to be expected
from an administration, the members of which
did not aft upon their own bottom, their own
principles, their own judgment, and if there waa
