HOUSE-of COMMONS:
VOLUNTEERS of IRELAND.
{Continued from bur last.)
The Secretary at 1, ar rose and declared, that
the Right Hon. Gentleman, let him have gathered
his information where he might, had bee^egregi
obfly misinformed; If he had thought proper to
have done his duty, and had attended ih his place,
he would have heard the conversation of the pre
ceding day, and he would then hafre known, that
no me mon whatever was made of the Volunteers
of Ireland, but in terms of refpe&. With regard
to the number of men voted for the Service of the
ensuing year, a variety of reasons had been urged
by him officially; and by others, to prove that such
a number was indispensably necessary ; but among
them most certainly the Volunteers of Ireland were
not mentioned as a reason, nor had any ekpreffiori
dropped, at all correspondent with that which the
Right Honourable gentleman had made the founda
tion of his fpeecli. Colonel Fitzpatrick concluded
with faying, that as to the voice of the nation's
not having been againff a late proportion brought
forward in Ireland, they had the authority of the
Parliament of Ireland to oppose co the Right Hon;
Gentleman's affection.
Lord North begged to be heard for a few minutes.
His Lordship declared, he had been present the
preceding day, that he had Irfhned to what had
palled with unremitting attention, and that he did
riot recoiled that the delicacy of the situation of
Ireland was eber once mentioned; He declared,
he was amazed hat so innocent, nay so elegant an
expression as the word delicacy ffiould have given
so much alarm to the Right Honourable Gentle
man; hut he did not think, innocent as it was,
that it had been used at all in the former debate';
Poflibly it might, but he did not recoiled it. He
was certaih, however, that no argument bad been
tifed, that could make it at all necessary for the
Right Honourable Gentleman to come down, and
vouch to that Hotife for the loyalty of the Volun
teers of lieland. Nobody impeached their loyalty,
nobody doubted it. But as the Right Honourable
Gentleman had laid, that he derived his information
from a newfpap^; and it thence Appeared that
considerable Stress was kid on the repreferitations
of what palled in that House; given by newspapers,
he could riot fu ffer an assertion used by that Right
Honourable Gentleman with regard to the Parlia
ment of Ireland to pass wholly Unnoticed. The
fame newSpaper that conveyed to Ireland that
addition, or rather that ffigma, ought to convey at
the fame time, that it had not passed in that Houle
without some notice, everi though it was the notice
merely of the humbled, the most inSignificant, at
leaff, of the Members of the British House ofCom
mons. The Right Honourable Gentleman had
been pleased to deny, that a vote recently come to
by the Irish Parliament was the voice of the nation,
and liad called it, the voice of Borougli-mongers
and of interested individuals. He begged leave
peremptorily to deny the assertion, and to declare
that the sense of the irifh nation was much better
to be collected from the voice of the IriSh Par
liament, than from the voice of an individual, even
though he might be a member of that Parliament.
His Lordship declared he entertained a profound
yelped for so important a branch of the Legislature
of either country as the House of Commons, and
he Should hold himfelf exceedingly wanting in at
tention to the dignity of Parliament, if he Suffered
their solemn determination to be deemed the de
termination of Borough-mongers, without riling
an^expreffing his disapprobation of such an indecent
assertion.
General Lutterell fiid, the Right Honourable
Gentleman on the floor, had certainly forgot that
he walked in the House with him, arid that he was
11, 1784.
No. 100, Meeting-Sheet.
Mr. FAW then said, he rose to move ah amend
ment to the question, and therefore conceived
himfelf entitled to speak again. This quieting the
House, he proceeded to observe, that he never
claimed a Superiority over any man, but whatever
other advantage the Hori. Gentleman behind might
have, he would not permit him to assume so
much Superiority over him, as to fuffer him to
confute what he had not uhderftood. It was true
he represented a Borough in the Irish House of
Commons, but in his former Speech, he had not
said any thing of the Parliament of Ireland, the
Hon. Gentleman therefore, and the noble Lord,
had both miftated Ids argument. He had said,
that the declaration of any particular body of men,
whether in that country or any other, against the
Volunteers of Ireland, was not the voice of the
nation, but he had not mentioned a Parliamentary
body of men. He knew, as well as the Honourable
Gentleman behind him, that a majority of the
Parliament of Ireland had decided against a motion;
which he had lately had the honor to propose in thd
House of Commons of that country, but as majo
rities were not always infallible, it would not be
wondered at, if their decilion did not carry con
vision to the mind of every individual, and if hit
opinion of the propriety or of the wisdom of the
motion alluded to, had not been in the Ickft chang
ed or affected by the decision of the Irish House of
Commons. With regard to the noble Lord who
had Spoken lately, he well knew his abilities, and
that the power of insinuation was the firft of them;
let the noble Lord however take care what he said,
of the Volunteers of Ireland; to declare a doubt of
their Loyalty would not only be a weak and fallaci
ous, but it would be a dangerous declaration, IQ
the noble Lord remember that the Americans had
been declared difloyai at a time when it would have
been wife at least to have forborne from any such
declaration. Let the consequences, the fatal con
sequences that had attended that declaration teach
the noble Lord to be more cautious with regard to
the Volunteers of Ireland. He remembered it had
-been said by a wife man in the earliest periods
> r our diGgrerment with America; ^ America is
2 Member of the Irish House of Commons, and one
of the majority on a late division there, or he would
hever have ventured to deem the determination of
that majority the voice of Borough-mongers.
Had the Right Honorable Gentleman forgot the
indignation, the look of disdain that had been
expressed when he made the motion, to which he
had obviouSy alluded in the very extraordinary
fpeecli, he had thought proper to utter that dav ?
Borough-mongers! Ihb Right Hon. Gentleman
himfelf had mongered a Borough, and in conse
quence of having done so, held his present feat id
the Irifli House of Commons. The Right Hon-
Gentleman might place what confidence he pleased
on the influence of his superior eloquence, but no
eloquence Should prevent his rising and opposing
fallacy and misrepresentation. The voice of the
Parliament of Ireland had been decisive; it was
the voice of a clear and large majority, and thence
entitled to refpe&.
Mr. Hood rose, arid the cry of Spoke ! Spoke!
prevailing, the Speaker told him he muff confine
himfelf to explanation; it was the rule of that
House for Members to speak but once to any one
queftiori, tmlefs their speech had been mifeonceived
and miftated, arid in that case it was usual for the
House to indulge a Gentleirian whose argument had
been so mifeonceived, to rife again to explain.
Mr. Flood said he rose to explain, but going
clearly into a reply, and the House objecting to it
as disorderly,
The Speaker again told him, he muff confine him
felf to explanation, and that the only indulgence
the House would allow, was to hear a Gentleman
juffify his former Speech, by faying, I ^have beeri
understood to fay, so and so, whereas what I said
was this.
