COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH FRANCE.

a weight sad authority which he could not pretend to pass
sees. But owing to the circumstance of his having beau
for many years officially connected with the trade of thin
country, that must plead his excuse for Overawing upea
their patients on the present occasion, in asking their lord-
, ships to agree with the Commons in an address to the crown
' in eve= of the treaty of commerce with the Emperor of
the French. There were diplomatic and social beadle
which he hoped would remit front this treaty. (Hear, hear)
All its tendencies were good ;he could not seeany • LW

he valued the ties of commerce especially, because they
were ties which connected not merely governments, but
what was far more important—nations. (Hear, hear.)
The extended commerce resulting from this treat; winid
give rise to • friendly feeling on the part of the inhabitants
of France, and he hoped that it might be so. (Hear, hear.)
Not that, he wished to see any exclusive alliance with
our true policy to cultivate friendship with France on (the
principle of hostility to any other country. (Hear, hear.)
Bat this treaty, even in its commercial aspect, while lidding
out the hand of friendly intercourse to Fiance, was perfectly
friendly to other maims sad would admit the wines of
Spain, of Italy, and of Germany, on the same terms as this
of France. (Hear, hear.) It an, it was true, with
France, but extended its beneficial influence to the foil/
quartets of the globe. Mr. Pitt's treaty was ob*tnl to by
Yes. Fox, Mr. Burke, Mr. Francis, and other eminent statee-
men, as tending to diminish the feeling of jealousy and
alarm with which this country ought always to re-
gard the political intentions of France. No such
feeling would be entertained at the present day. Mr. Fox
bad said that France and England were natural enemies—
moment, and it was difficult to my how long peace might be
Ltered. But it should be the duty of due government
detvour by all houretrable means to preserve peace
with France in the first instance, and with tie other coun-
tries of the world. Indeed, if the causes of disunion and
discord. amongst the nations of Europe were active it was
surely incumbent upon us to do what we could to givo
activity to those better influence., the tendency of which
was to cement realms, to prevent ware, and to increase the
hopes of peace In Europe. (Hear, hear.) It was because
he believed that this treaty bad • very great influence ia
that directior, that he ventured to recommend it to they
lordshipa. Ile could not make out that we had sacrificed
any principle or made any concession that was not for
our mtwaert. On the other hand, we certainly gam
facilities to France to enter upon that coons which
we had seen it our interest to pursue—that of a far more
liberal policy. The influence of our example would be very
meted to France. It was impossible for the intelligent niter
of France to see the effects produced by this policy in this
country without being struck by the moult—the welfare
adi comfort which it had secured to all classes—the loyalty
and contentment which it had diffused—the dindavtien of
pauperism—and all the blessed effects which had ensued,
not wholly, but in • great degree, from our liberal mum:ere
cid policy. (Hear, hear.) He heartily hoped that this. ex-
ample might be followed by France; and not by France
only ; for, with such examples as Frame and England it
would be very difficult indeed for the other nations of Etas
rope longer to maintain a narrow and restrictive polity in
matters of trade. Believing that the peered diffuses of three

dimi-
nish Ike chances of war, and to alleviate it. velem* when
it did unhappily arise, lie hailed this policy as use which,
to carry the treaty into operation. The cement of psithib-
meat was undoubtedly nevi to some of its provisions,
but that mend could only be given by acts of larliament
sanctioning the reductions of duty which were contemplated
ea the part of this country. Those bills would no doubt be
placed before their lordships, and he entertained not the
slightest question that their lordship., acting wisely in es
serelsace with their established rule, would nut appear to
meddle with bills involving money matters sent up to them
from the Commons, but would willingly give them their
moat. If that were dome, all would be aocompliabed that
would be !mammary in order to effectuate the treaty, and
he ventured to appeal to the noble and learned 1.,n1
upon the woolsack to confirm the truth of this opinion.
flat although this address was not required, iu order to giro
effect to the treaty, its effect would be to MU,* their lord-
ships, in the most solemn and formal manner, toexpime
their unqualified approval el this treaty, nut only in its
amend principles, but in its detail', and the tosetion for
their lordships was, whether that house of parliament was
merely to abstain from any opposition to the treaty, as
whether it was to oome forward and deliberately express en
