to filt • gof the new Parliament ; and, stating th.
.151 t... Jens, who moved the Ad-iress, said, th t t::e
Peace of Amiens afforded time to the nation "ta
tae..ll2l(‘ d recruit its strenpth ;" observes, in k
note e to France, as well as England, tl•as
ntr a.since. It was wished to give confidence to
Fr commerce; to.induce us to trust to the set a
hundred millions of French property ; and after.
wards, as after the Peace of Amiens, a Message, ti-
t.:dar to that of the 7th of March, would have de.
dared that the French ports were full of arena.
ments, that the descent was ready to be made,
and that, consequently, it was necessary to seise
our ships and Captains. Principles more Ma.
chiavelian could never be strewed with greater
effrontery. It was hoped that a new appPeatii n
of them might be made with impunity. Bat th,
times are much changed; pe=e might, perhp,,
be concluded, and two years afterwards, commit..
sions might be secretly issu.:cl, to size all our
trading vessels ; but, immediately, all the English,
men, women, and children, in France, Holland,
Italy, Old and New Spain, in three-fourths of Eu.
rope, would be made prisoners, in reprisal for th,
men, women, and children, detained in our trading
vessels. AU the magazines of English mercharr.
dize, or property of any kind, would be sAzed.
This system of reprisals is our rig r, and can aisle
give us security. We must oppose force to free.
energy to energy, and even injouice to injustice,
since by employing such weapons, England ha:
forced us to have recourse to them.

" The times when she ovaratved the Cabinet
Versailles ate long since past."
On the expression of the same speaker, the;
" England had no influence on the determination
of Prussia ;" it is observad in another ante—" le
what purpose then were the conferences of th
English Ministtrs wi:h M. Jacoat. They had told
France that they wished to have FLnvver. Frazee
eluded the question ; but, is eluding it, she, in some
measure, signified that Prussia had ivi; fulfilled the
conditions to which she had subscribed, that wet
province might be secured to her. She did not r:-
cal her Mir.:ster ;—she did not shut the Elbe or i:7e
Weser. No sooner had the Cabinet of Loads-
perceived what might be the result, than they if.
timated their own coujeffares to the Court of Pm-
ria, to animate it against France. And yet i; is
asserted in Parliament, that the English Governmett
has not, in the least, infle..nced the xteterminatio3
of Pr•ssia."

On the observation in the same speech, that. " rr•
lying on the justice of our cause. and on the i.
cible valour of our forces, by sea and land, e
may hope, in a short time, to bring our enemy 1.)
pacific dispesitions." there is the following note:
There is no necessity for so many resources to
bring your enemy to pacific dispositions; nothieg
is necessary but moderation and justice. Your Mi.
nistry should be guided by the ideas of that great
man, whom you have loss, and whose loss al/re
has been more fatal to England, than all the mistor•
tunes she had before experienced ; of that area:
man, to whose memory you have not meas.' any
monument; whose widow has not been treated
with a munificence worthy of the nation ; of that
great man, in file, who, bad he lived a year longer,
would have saved Prussia and England, and g;..
Peace to Europe."
