we are not ncct ff*riiy to be
guided by a fpirit of humble docility,
though our independence may a;
more clearly hi theory, than in any cafes
of modern or recent experience. In
whatever we chute to exenife our con
ftitutional right, the poiiibiltty of its ex
erciie will not be difputed. Potubly we
might think that negotiation was pre;er

hand, we might fuppofe, that meal'nres
of a mi-e vigoroui defcription would
have done much more for the national

is our opinior to be rxpreJTeJ", except in
Withholding th before, we bind

is no v»erd ftateii hy which 1
can venture to form any opinion of the
points in dilput-:. A gobd deal has been
iaid, Sir, with the view of fh-wmg, that
if a rupture fhouid take plaice, it would
be only the natural rei'uit of the treaty
of Amiens. Idov, Sii, lam one of
thofe who hole! a very different opinion,
mid without hetitiuion Ag»ay, that if war

lor l'uppofing tbat it has the flighted coii
netVlori with that treaty, or that this
was a treaty not fit to be concluded. I j

v.c to be told, Sir, that milliliters dare to

tne renewal of hoftilitie's ? Are We to'
be told, that we w »c ti Wage warfare
c had obtained a fatiffactory aftur
on tl,.- p-art of tiie enemy, of a lin

ranquijity in the true, fpirit of peace*
uable man will, 1 believe, mild
i i extraordinary an opinion, as "that
which I have now Ratal. It may be
: raintlimoilier:,., that lints
the contlfafion of peace, they hate fhewn
h in the Ipirit of conCeiiion;
How far this charge is true, I have no
means of determining, though there ap
pears no reafon to conclude that t.«cir
' ition, bus gone bi

; '.act. If they have been gndiy of
Inch forbearance or concefiion, as has
in the fmalleft degree compromifed the
honour or fafety of the country, nnqUt-f
--tionably their conduit has been highly
criminal, but this is no confequenre: of
their bavuig concluded the treaty of A
wieij*. But, Sir, perhaps, we aie to be
to!' that it was impolitic to make peace
till we had a vigorous adminiftration to
fuppoit it. I certainly do not think
that want of vigour in an adminiilration
i? a luili.ient rfeafon for not entering in*
to a war, if a bgitimate caufe of war ex
ill-. As an objection to the conclolion
ace, it isone nf the molt ridiculous
clulive that ever was brought
forward. L miuiiti-ts have Conceded too
too little for the fnpport
of the honour of the couutry, they have
incurred a very great refpqnfibility, but
hi id to the charge ot the
\miehs. If Ism fond of that,
it is hec.auh it wa:i the means of ri
Ui of UlCUmbi euces of the mbft opprt Hive
i'at it freed us from con
n.-ctien With allies, for allies we had
none at the time »t was concluded, but
thai it delivered us from the deteftable
and abo uinahle principles on which the

that the object of the war will be clearly }
and diftindily underftood. What aie
the Objects which may eventually lead to
inch an unfortunate remit, I profel's to
be totally ignorant. Whether thry re
fer to the p. ft'cfti -n of Malta, tbe evacu
ation of Alexandria, or whatever other
point of diftuifion they involve, I have
no means of forming an opinion* 1 mall
jufl fay generally, that if our national
rights are involved, if attempts have bren
made to lower that rank which we have i
been accuftoraed to hold among the
ftates of Europe, and all attempts a; ami- !
