HOUSE OP LORDS.
MONDAY, ,71:14E 6.
Lord SHEFFIELD brought up a Bill to render
Justices Of the Peace in the execution of their duty,
and for preventing the quashing of examinations
for mere informality, in cases where the Justices
should certify the charge was founded in substance.
His Lordship entered into an explanation of the
Bill, in the course of which he stated, that in some
cases a certain form was prescribed, and none in
others, and regretted the number of persons who
escaped punishment for their offences in conseb
quence of mere informality, and the uncertainty
occasioned by such a variety of practice in the
system. The Bill was then ordered to be read a
first time and printed..
Several private Bills were brought up frogs the
Commons.
THE CONDbCT OF MINISTERS
The Order of the Dey being read, that their rpitt•
ships be summoned to attend on this day,
Earl FITZWILLIAM rose, and entered into a
long statement of the conduct cf Ministers ; but hih
Lordship spoke m so low a torte et voice, we regret
our inability to give even a correct outline of
speech. The peace, he said, was only a peace of
experiment, and, therefore, Ministers should have
abed with jealousy and caution, whereas their con-
dud had been quite the reverse. His Lordship con-
cluded with moving a string of resolutions, the sub-
stance of which was, that it was the duty of Minis-
ters to have made provision against the system cf
violence, insult, and aggression, that it could only
be prevented by force; that they had neglected to
provide accordingly, and by such negleftliad acted
in a manner highly injurious to the interests of LIM
country.
The Duke of • CLARENCE--" My Lords, ire
' whatever shape this motion has been introduced, I
...tamtot help considering it as a motion expressit
„amide for the removal of his Majesty's Ministers. I
Vise, because I wish, my Lords, to say, that though
I differ completely from the Noble Earl, yet I sive
him credit for his consistency, vs his motion is in
the spirit, and constitutes a part, of the systeris
which he has uniformly pursued from the coma
mencement of the French Revolution. There aro
many parts of that system to which I cordially agree,
and which I have highly approved, but the continu-
ation of the war is not in the number. Upon that
point certainly I did differ from the Noble Earl, as
I always thought that no opportunity should be lost
to put an end to the horrors of war, and that the
chance which the state of things appeared to afford
for the attainment of that end, should not have been
rejected. Ministers, therefore, did right in making
peace, notwithstanding their expectations have been
frustrated. I may be, I hope, allowed to say, that
in every debate upon the subject, I always stated,
that I saw great difficulty in the Preliminary Articles
of Peace, and when that difficulty was surmounted
by the Definitive Treaty, though I still considered
the peace an experiment, its completion excited my
wonder. I must then say, in justice to the Minis-
ters who concluded the treaty, that if, in 1801, any
one could have thought that there was any principle
of honour or justice on the part of the Government
of France, the Preliminxries were such as ought to
have been entered into, considering the length of
the war, and the severity of its pressure, ought not
to be censured fir having agreed to the Prelimina-
ries. Flow far they ought indeed to have agreed to
the Definitive Treaty, is matter of serious considera-
tion. That is a question which could involve the
gross misconduct of the former Administration, which
brought the country into the state in which the present
Ministers found it. On that subje& lam ready to go
into detail. Upon that ground. lam ready to meet
any Noble Lord from the first act, namely, front
the embarkment of the Guards for Holland in 1795,
down to the day on which the present Administra-
tion came into power. Much stress has been laid
upon the difficulties in the way of the execution of
the 10th article of the Treats, of Amiens, respecting
Malta. Ministers did say they were anxious to se-
cure the independence of that island, and that such
was the object of the stipulations contained in the
article. Surely then France, must have felt the same
consciousness when she made thetreaty, and that we
wanted guarantees of Malta in order that we might
call upon them should she attempt to violate its in-
dependence. Ihe present Ministers have been ac-
:used for reducing our forces. Ido not admit that
they did reduce it lower than was necessary for the
safety and interest of the country. Supposing, how
ever, the charge to be founded in fact, it :hews that
Ministers were actuated by a pacific spirit, and repels
the charge which the enemy have brought against
them,of wishing to renew the war. Ithought thepeate
at any time a matter of erperiment, and in such a
'situation it was impossible to know whit the amount
of the force should be. The Parliament met, and
there was one passage in Majesty's Speech which
1 own gave tne great pleasure. Ido not remember
the exact words, but I recoiled their import well.
It said France shall not aggrandize herself, she
shall not pursue a system of violence and encroach-
ment with impunity, and without restraint. • We
shall be prepared for nut defence and for sister-
ante to that system, should she attempt to perm.
