On the third reading of the Austrian Loan Bill being moved,
laud HOLLAND rose at although it was not
dlatsign mertri, *an eft
,Medeoproeite, at the debate Jana tithe plait bs
th sage of the present bill, he had no hesitation in trespassing
on their Lordship's time, "hike he made a few remarks upon it.
His objection to the bill did nee apply to its principle, but to its
logy. Ile was ready to , ecknowledge, and had acknow.
rhredilrl,eo that the sum paid by reason of the convention entered into
with Austria, fir the repayment-of the ken this country had ad-
vanced to her, though less than the people were entitled to, was more
than they ever expected, and much more than the humble indivi-
dual who had the honour of addressing their Lordships reckoned
upon. lie was ready to admit, that in obtaining that sum great
address had been displayed ; and he thought the Noble Earl
and his colleagues had managed the negotiation with great
ability in in not claiming more, in which case, probably, they
might have lost all. But he could not au further, and acquiesce
in all the high sounding teems that had been thrown out respecting I
the imperial debtor himself. He had heard of the generosity that
had been evinced by him ; the high sense of honour he must enter.
taro that induced him to pay the loan, and the forbearance that he
had shown in not resisting the claim ; but he really could not see
so much of imperial honour in a man paying the whole of a just
debt, much more in paying • very small portion of it. To say the
best of it, it could but be considered as negative honour, and the
act would not bear that measure of inflated praise that was
heaped upon it by Noble bards opposite. But, however that
might be, be was ready to acquiesce in the Bill, as a measure that
would tend to carry into effects must desirable and lung-wished for
object ; but he was not so much inclined to commend the wonting
of it, which appeared to him to have no reference to the transac-
tion that gave rise to it. He was not a critic in and
therefore was not inclined to take exceptions to wards fun m,isty,
but he could not understand why Parliament was to be.thrown into
perplexity, by wording this Bill to such a manner that so light was
thrown by it upon the subject that gave it existence ; and after the
perusal of it their Lordships could know no more to what trans.
actions it referred, than they could by reading any other Bill on
their table. Ile could easily imagine that the high person who was
alluded to in that 11111 might have great objections to its appearing
on the face of a document entered into between his Ministers and
those of this country, that he paid his debts by composition, ard
instead of liquidating them to the utmost amount, he had received
value fur paying a very small portion. He could easily imagine
that it could not be very agreeable to his Imperial Majestyto have
it go forth to Europe that he paid six millions with two millions five
hundred thousand pounds, and therefore there might be a reason
in the framing of this coavention, to make it palatable so far to the
imperial debtor, as not to notice in that treaty the actual sum ori-
ginally advanced, which the 2,1iet1,00111. were to mime. Pasant
in high stations might be supposed to have a OMNI of honour of a
more than ordinarily delicate desaiption, and they mien not
like to see the truth plainly stated. It mieht, on that account, be
necessary to disguise from his Imperial Majeity's eyes that feet, at
least, that the repayment was very uneqsaf to the original sum ad.
cancel. It was natural that he should wish it nos to go to poste.
city that he paid his debts by conyerithen jther_t *Vac
sup rand that ueciawnseitite 'veneer virnamme circumstance
which would otherwise have been inexplicable, that In the conven-
tion these was no statement of tbe money really due. But if cour-
tesy to his Imperial alajesty led the framers of the convention to
leave out that material fact in that document ; was that any reason
that the British Parliament was to be heonwinked in the same way ?
Were Ministers so tender of the raincoat their Imperial debtor,
that they chose to make the wording of their Intl as much without
reference to the transaction it wee connected with, as the conven-
tion they had become a party to ? The nicety of the terms in form.
ing this convention sheeted what care had been taken to avoid bring-
ing the real transaction into view, for by it no one could ascertain
whether batlniperial Majesty had paid off the whole loan he had
received, with praiseworthy punctuality and accuracy, or whether
he had generously made a present to England of 2,600,9th1L or
whether be had got rid of his debt by composition. The manner in
which this document had been worded, with reference to its object,
reminded him of a gentleman of some celebrity in politics and
literature, when lie (Lord Holland) first entered into public life,
he meant Mr. Home Tooke, who had undertaken to apply phrase-
ology to the sciences of politics said metaphysics, but the barren
nature of the one, and the sandy soil of the other, were adverse to
suck speculations; however he should like to apply Mr. Tooke's
system to this docunient, and try by that test the couventioe, which
gave rise to the present discussion; in which not one word of the
debt, or of the specification of the sums by which it had been
created were mentioned, but only, that his Imperial Majesty was
to pay to the Government of this °ninny 2,M1U0,6001.; but for whet
reason, or under what cinunistances, the partite to it did net con-
descend to advise. He had carefully referred to the derivation of the
word " pay." One he hail found, which was supposed to bare its
derivation from Purls, a village or district, because it was believed
that payments came front those places, preening popeli pre refeeic
tcrtiguliber prententer. It was not a very good derivation, but
they would to well to consider from whence money Mlle it did
not conic front Kings or Parliament, but from the people. The
next derivation be met with wasps:clue, because it was considered
that those who paid performed a bargain. The last etymology that
he could find at all in point, was certainly more applicable to the
convention than either of the others that he had quoted, which was
poeare, " pacify, to appease;" that, of all others, appeared to
hint to be the nue derivation of the word " pay" in the conven-
tion, for the repayment of the Austrian loan; that be believed to
be the true reason for that convention, and no desire en the part of
Austria to repay it. This transaction showed that his Imperial Ma-
jesty hail no wish to pay his debts, but he felt it necessary to satisfy
those borers of the Bennis Parliament, who constantly were press-
ing hint for payment, by the liquidation of one-eighth of his debt;
and he was now to be held up to the eyes of Europe u the most
magnanimous Prince, whose high sense of every obligation led
hint to the iiinst chivalric points of honour. if his Imperial Ma-
jesty felt any gratification at this act, be might continue the read-
lection of it in the Austrian Monarchy like the hidden Fleece, and
Pass it to posterity as a glorious inbelitsoce. He (Lord Holland)
I hut heard sneers of contempt thrown out against literature, as
coming from that quarter of the world ; that the first Emperor of
Europe required no learning, his subjects were ready to pray tut him,
and to light for him, and were devoted to his service. When, how-
ever, his Imperial Majesty again visited his University of Pavia,
perhaps they might be inclined to gloss over these harsh feelings of
their Sovereign towards literature, and mix up • due portion of
that courteous obsequiousness which is so necessary to win the
hearts of continental Sovereigns, with any efforts of literature they
might aspire to offer to his Alajesty, as might induce him to say,
" How churning is divine philosophy;
" Not harsh and crabbed, as dull fools suppose,
" But musical"—
as the Court of Vienna could wish. But to return to the subject
immediately before their Lordships: he could not see why the
British Parliament was to be called upon to recognize a Bill so de-
fective in its mumble, und which hid no reference to the original
transaction that it was connected with. The future antiquarian
could glean no information from the preamble of this Bill, if it
were in existence fur I,itee years. as to the reel nature of the busi.
ness that gave rise to it ; he could not learn from it that any
money went from England to Austria originally. It was now
some years since these loans took place, and sonic of their Lord-
ships were probably tug aware, although he unfortunately was old
enough to remember the fact, that they were granted in INS and
; and the arguments used in favour of them were, that they
would bring Austria into a direct contest with the great enemy of
Europe, as the power of France was then considered ; and that it
was of the greatest possible consequence to the common cause to
make his Imperial Majesty take part in it. Another argument he
well recollected used at the time was, that the security obtained
fur these loam was so good that this Government could sue the
Emperor in his own Courts, as the Austrian Government had given
debentures, bonds, and Clod knew what ! But the most extraordi-
nary fact connected with this transaction was, that the money was
actually not paid till Austria had made a separate peace with
France, and was paying money to the enemies of this country ; for
their Lordships would find by the dates that the six million were
paid In May, and the treaty of Ceram Fermin was signed in April;
and their Lueslships should recollect that the annuity guaranteed
to Austria fa 2 years being altogether five millions, made the
whole amount to be liquidated by that Power 12,60040 K ;
and the perpetual annuity that the country was now saddled with
amounted to more than five millions. So that the claim of Eng-
land, taken in the e, was more than 17,500,0001. without
taking into the calttittZlegaCompound interest. For this sum the
country received 2,500,0001. which he did not wish todepreciate, but
he did not know why the framers of the Bill should wish to in-
volve it in mystery, and not allow the real MlAllaien be be stated

in a document emanating from the British Parliament; however,
reasons might induce them to disguise facts in the convention.
It was extraordinary to hear the way that this repayment had been
designated by Noble Lords opposite. It had been called a Gad-
tend, which was certainly a droll term to give to the highly-extolled
payment of his Imperial Majesty. If it had fallen from him (Lord
Holland) instead of from lips flickering with praise of the Austrian
Sovereign it would not have been so much a matter of wonder; but
coming from the quarter it did was whimeical enough. for only one
inference could be drawn from the term. He would suppose that he
had in his pocket a 10,0001. note on a merchant in the city, with
which he stepped to the other side of Temple Bar, and there made
his inquiries respecting his credit and responsibility, and heard front
a brother inerchint that there was not an honester man in the city,
that his credit was excellent, his wealth undoubted ; that he was a
perfect " Sir Andrew Freeborn ;" but if you get 1,0001. of your
money you may think yourself well off. He (Lord If.) knew that an
action at law would lie against his informer. He would repeat that.
by the Bill, it could hardly be known whether the money alluded
to was a composition, a whole payment, or a free-gift. If the
magnanimous Emperor those to pass it off as a free gift, it was not
contradicted by the Bill before them, but might appear to posterity
as if he had said to this Government--" You have on former occa-
sions been very generous to me, and I am now desirous of making
you some rented, and I beg your acceptance of two millions and a
half." It appeared by this Bill to have CMS like a shower of gold,
' to which every one was Invited to come and lap. Did the church
want money ? Did the Crown want money ? Did science want
money? Ilem it was for them in abundance. But this shower of
gold, like most others that they read of, took itself wings and flew
tiny. If the people thought it right that their money should be
spent in budding and repairing palaces, he had no objection to such
as efffirw,Ptiation ; but they at least ought to have the option. By
theebSe. It Wagon Odd thing that this dumb whish was dead,* the
Adieu in Europa, was always coming to rellament far enthey,
mid never did shy thing for itself. It appeared to hate been the
whole design of the framers of this convention and Bill, to impress
on his Imperial Majesty and the public a false view of the subject;
for the people from whom the money emanated appeared to be
quite overlooked—like Gideon's fleece, they were only to be plucked.
If this was a God-send, they ought to participate in it ; if the pay-
ment was an imperfect one, whatever there was of it was due to the
People. But the only object of the transaction seemed to be
to release the officers of the Crown and servants of the coun-
try from responsibility with regard to this loan, of which they
had ••heard so much, and to give them a sum of money for
chuiehes and palaces. He was the last man who wished to
interfere with the constitutional jealousy of the Crpwn ; but
he could not help remarking upon the comminiun, that had
been appointed for the repairs of Windsor Castle. In his view it
was one of the most unconstitutional commissions that had taken
place since the Revolution. It took that business which strictly
belonged to the great Officers of the State, and the responsible &d-
-alliers of the (:town, out of their hands, and placed it with a com-
mission which was not known to the Constitution. Ile was one of
those who had no predilection for absolute monarchies ; and al-
though he wait in all affairs of government friendly to the maxim
that thee was " wisdom in a multitude," in matters of war and
mate. he thought one mind ought to guide in both instances ; as in
the one promptitude was necessaryso in the other unfettered skill
might to be exercised. He should now move that this Bill be re-
committed, with a view to reconsider the preamble. He should not
now, however, press their Lordships to a division ; and his object
in moving this was, that every clause of the Bill might be dear and

elp
ofle tug el* lay, which had very much gratified the House, at least if
he might judge of their Lordships' feelings by his own ; but with
r to his other part, be was at a loss to know what was the
objection of his Noble Friend. On &previous night he had merely
stated that K. bad some reeuarks to-offer on the wording of the Bill,
which he (Lord Liverpool) supposed were merely referable to some
immaterial parts of the Bill ; but he had that night made an attack
upon the preamble of the Bill generally; but he would defy the
Noble Baron to shew that it was not an accurate description of the
transaction to which it referred. Nobody would suppose that it
should be drawn up in an ungracious manner towards his Imperial
Majesty; but the spirit of the Bill was not weakened by
courtesy towards his Imperial Majesty, fot it recited the
various acts connected with this loan, and what could it do more ?
To say that Austria had received one sum, and had paid another,
was more to read a lecture on Austrian power by the Noble Lord,
than for any other purpose. He had no objection to this ;
but it was stated by his Noble Friend more as a Counsel holding a
brief, who naturally wished to throw discredit on his adversary,
than in the fair way of discussion. The transaction, he asserted,
had been moat creditable to Austria, although the money trans-
actions amounted to 20 million*, including can ad interest.
Bthemith its Noble Trim* how -used- te ffiffsurn
was due, when he saw the mild courtesy o this Bib ? He would
answer that the Emperor of Austria, without any necessity or any
intervening cause, proposed the re-payment of this loan. Whether
he was in honour bound to pay it, lie soul! not then inquire ; but
from ita having remained in his possession since 1797, subsequent
to which period at any time it might have been called for, a: •not
having been so called for, considering the various transactions be,
tween the two Governments, from that )-ear up to the present, he
must have considered at least virtually liquidated. Ile recollected
perfectly well whets this loan was glutted, that the point had been
argued whether it should assume the shape of a loan or subsidy.
The transaction bad been entered into by a public man, for whom
he ever should entertain the greatest re-pect (Mr. Pitt), and he put
It in the shape of a loan, being in his judgment the most
advisable; but the Noble Baron must allow that whoever voted
for this as a loan, would have voted for it as a subsidy ,• and
In the lanes ease their Lordships would have been precluded
from discussing the merits of the Bill before them. But he en-
treated
Noble Lords to reflect on the situation of Austria since
the granting of these loans. Since the Treaty of Campo Foratia
Austria had been engaged in four wars--the one that was con. i
eluded by the battle of llotienlinden • the next that was ended by
that of Austerlitz ; the third that dosed with the battle of Wa-
gram ; and the fourth that ended with the great battle that pro-
duced the glorious state of affairs now enjoyed by this country. It
should be recollected by their Lordships that Austria fought to the
last in every contest in which she was engaged ' • therefore, in a
moral and equitable point of view, it could not be said that she
had broken her contract at any time with her allies ; and she wise
always ready to rise again, however she might have been reduced
by the fortune of war, and to exert herself in the common cause.
U. would put it to any of their Lordships, if, under these circum.
stances, the country did not owe much to Austria. Four wars had
existed subsequent to the loans. In three of those wars subsidies
had been granted to Austria, and he could refer to Noble Lords op-
posite, then in office, to shew that they offered a subsidy to that
Power, and yet the repayment of this loan was never asked for by
them. Ile was not blaming them for so acting; he should have done
precisely the same ; but if they forbore pressing the claim (they
now seem so vehement about, and so dissatisfied at the small part
that was paid) when the shoe pinched, then they had no right to
say that His Majesty's Ministers were bound to ask not only fur
something. but every thing. The transaction could not be charac-
terized as the Noble Baron had done. lie (Lord Liverpool) had al.
ways held that this country could not be called upon to cancel what
she held without some conditions; he had always said a reasonable
arrangement was advisable for Austria u well as this country,
and if be had been Minister of Austria he should have room.
mended it, as he thought any man would who knew the money
market of the Continent, and bow advantageous it was to Austria
to gain credit. He was persuaded that when this measure was
looked at coolly and not as a matter of debate in that Howie, the
promoters of it would be looked upon as more than justified in
carrying it into effect. One word he would now say as to the mist
conception that this moneywas paid solely in consequence of the highs
sense of honor of the Emperor of Austria: that certainly was the prin-
cipal cause, and the shale that Prince took in it did him the highest
honour as a man and sovereign : but he could not allow his Imperial
Majesty the exclusive merit of it. In justice it was due to his ad-
visers to state, and it ought to be known throughout Europe, that
they strongly urged the measure, and one of them in particular dal
so, without whose concurrence in the measure his Sovereign would
not have confirmed it. Ile should consider himself wanting in
duty to those high characters if he did not say thus much with re-
ference to their share in the act. The Noble Earl then defended
the application of the money ; and concluded by observing, thai
he could see no ambiguity in the Bill i that it described fairly the
transaction it referred to, and that it would be unfair to the
Emperor of Austria now to alter it. Ile was convinced the money
received had satisfied the feelings of the country, and was as much
as it expected.
Lord KING thought it was necessary for the Noble Earl to'
have given a inure eaplicit answer than he had done about the
payment of this loan, which he so much extolled, although it had
n called by one of his collation* a Gad-send, which gave no
very high idea of the character of the parties from whence it came,
as it clearly implied they would not li .ve paid if they could have
mended it. This most unintelligible treaty had been signed sealed,
and delivered, which accepted of a composition of a debt that Mr.
Pitt had declared that the Emperorof Austria might be sued for
in his own court. Whether that Minister meant the statement
he then made as a delusion, he left to the Pitt Club to deter-
mine. (A laugh.) Ile had no doubt this cause, t' Rex v.
