Parliamentary Debates, N&veNiber 27.
THE crouds of people were so great and tu
multuou, in the lobby to-day, that the
persons who commonly attend to take down the
Speeches of the members, from whom we usu
ally derive our information, either could not get
in, or were turned out; so that it is but from
parts here and there procured, that we have it in
our power to give any account of this day's very
interesting debates : we however will venture to
give a general idea of them.
It appears, that as soon as the speaker had fi
nished reading the king's speech, Mr. Percival
role, to propole an address of thanks; we know
that these motions are always introduced by a
speech, more or less eloquent and able, according
to the address and abilities of the speaker.
We may fay °f Mr. Percival, if the eloquence
of his lips was not conspicuous, that of his eyes
were; for fixing them in the most pointed man
ner, upon the feats on which the minority fat, he
lamented bitterly the industry that a certain class
of citizens took to throw others into conifer nati
on and despair; reproaching a certain class in
terms not very equivocal, of a design, as appa^
Vent as guilty, of encouraging the enemies of
Great-Britain, by difeouraging her defenders ;
such was his eloquence, such his address. After
having thus fixed the attention of all upon the
minority, to whom these very moderate reproaches;
were directed, " thank God" cried Mr. Percival,
" I am very sure that what I have said does not
concern any person who hearsme." He finished
by exhorting the house to unanimity.^
Mr. Ord seconded the'motion, and spoke also
a great deal about unanimity, asserting that una^
nimity alone was fufficient to destroy the dan
gerous combinations of the enemies of Great-
Britain. It is to be observed, that Messrs. Perci
val and Ord are new members^
Mr. Fox congratulated the minister upon the
choice he had made of them, obfervirg that no
thing more was necessary to determine them to
undertake such a ridiculous talk than inexperi
ence and ignorance, of both which they had gi
ven the greatest proofs. Still, had they confined
themselves to the business which had been re
commended to them, viz. the juftification of the
ministry, we should have said, that they did their
business; they served their masters; but to forget
themselves so far, as to cast offensive reflexions
upon that part of the members who have prefer
red the service of their fellow-citizens to that of
the murderers of the constitution, isan arrogance
that neither youth nor inexperience is able to
excuse ; these gentlemen affeX to present the
speech to us as the speech of the king: but hap
pily for England it is not the speech of the king;
it is the speech of the minivers: a king who
could be really capable of making such a speech,
would be a cruel monarch, whose hardened heart
is iufenGhle to his own misfortunes; no, I re
peat it, this is not the speech of the king; and I
am provoked, the whole house ought to be pro
voked at this further instance of the audacity of
ministers, in putting this speech in the mouth of
their sovereign; in making him fay publicly to
his people, that in proportion as the war in which
he is engaged, is unfortunate, dishonorable, and
distant from peace; he will increase the taxes till
all his revenues are exhausted ! This is not the
language of a prince in whom we are fond to
contemplate all the virtues which form the orna
ment cf the throne. It is the language of traitors
who have ruined ns, and have left us but the
hope of feeing them one day expiate on the leaf
fold the enormity of their crimes? This day I
hope is not diflant.
A learned Lord (the Lor'd Advocate of Scot
land) smiled at this exprefhon, which appeared
to him a little extravagant.' " I do not know"
continued Mr, Fox, " if l, in the warmth of dis
course, jnay not have exceeded propriety, but,
in fpeakmg of the fcaffold, I em sure I have not.
Does not the noble Lord think that ministers
have not injured their country fufficiently to re
quire an example of the Scaffold ? Have they not
ruined our affairs in America? Have they not
rendered us ridiculous and contemptible in the
eyes of\the whole world? Have they not loft the
Welt-Indies? Are they ina Situation of affording
the smallest fuccour to Gibraltar arid Fort St.
Ppi'dip? Have they notanihilated our commerce?
Have they not been the cause of our losing the
dominion of the fin ? I aft, what then remains
to complete our ruin, or for them to do in order
; to merit the Scaffold ? If the noble Lord thinks
it is not time to bring administration to the fcaf
fold, let him tell us when it will be time, and
what he imagines they can do worse than they
have done to merit more completely this recom
pence of their fatal deeds? Ournavy is too weak,
fays one, for to proteX the operations of our ar
my; we have not, fays another, Sufficient land
forces to carry on an offenfive war; very well!
it is the very thing w e, this fide of the house,
have been repfefenting to them, without ceasing,
for five years. They have been told it a thou
sand times; I myfelf have told them a hundred
times, " you are not in a Situation to carry on
this war." What have they constantly answer
ed? that it was necessary to proceed, that is to
fay, to throw themlelves head foremoft down
the precipice we have warned them of! Here is
one, who, with five thousand men, undertook to
run over America, from one end to the other, in
triumph. Here is another who was to answer
with his head for the fuperiorty of our fleets, in
declaring, emphatically, in the face of the whole
nation, that a Lord of Admiralty who Should
negleCT to keep us a navy superior to our ene
mies, at all times, would merit the fcaffold. Is
it then very extraordinary that I talk of fending,
to-day, the miniftet ' to the fcaffold, since I do bit
confirm, in the name of the people, the sentence
that he himfelf has pronounced! Let him then,
together with his colleagues, be led there; let
the noble Lord smile, but let the people hear me;
it is the peoples voice that I express here.l
swear I will listen to nothing, I will relinquish
nothing, I will not relax in any thing, till I have
seen those whohave ruined their country brought
to the fcaffold.
Mr. Fox finished by proposing an amend
ment.
L ONDO N, Dec. 29.
The Measures which injured the King's affairs
the most in Virginia, was the news arriving
there, that Lord Dunmore was to be their go
vernor again—This circumftrnce operated like a
charm—it arrested the activity of every man in
clined to loyalty, and quickened with exaspera
ted force, the enmity of the rebels. Whoever
advised such an impolitic measure, as re-appoint
ing the old governors, so detefled by the people,
when the war broke out, Should be marked
for ever as an enemy to bis Majesty and his coun
cils !
