maritime power.. He wished to see her possess- 1
ed of interests which, in the case of an unfor-
tunate rupture, we might have the means of
attacking.. A Right Hon. Friend of his used
to say, that in this contest we had gained all which
we had not 'lost, but in concluding this Treaty we
had aged with •the greatest honour and good faith
to our Allies ; we had preserved all our ancient
dominions, and had made important acquisitions
both in the East and in the West. Independant of
all this, an arrangement had been made with the
Powers of the North, by which our rights had been
fully recognized and secured ; and finally, that great
and most beneficial measure, the Union with Ireland,
had been carried into effed.—LWe bad closed the
contest with consolidated power and with augment-
ed means, which he was convinced would make the
power of this Country equal to that of France.
He was ready, however, to acknowledge, that it
depended upon the wisdom of Government and of
that House, whether this Peace should be a curse or
a blessing. On the part of the King's present
Ministers, he could only say, that the Peace which
had been made honestly, should be kept faithfully. No
encouragement should be given to any person, what-
ever their eharaaer might be, to subvert. the pre-
sent Government of France. It would require the
utmost caution to accomplish all the objets which
they had in view, they must adopt a conduct of
caution, of prudence, and of jealousy. And he
was bound in candour and fairness to state, that it
would be necessary to .provide new means of se-
curity, such as were never before known in
time of Peace. If he were asked whether this was
founded upon .a suspicion of the sincerity of the
Enemy, he would answer, No ; but he could not
look upon the Map of Europe,
,without being con-
vinced that such was the cc:y.lnd Which their duty
prescribed to them. the system to be adopted
must be one plainly clireffed to the security of the
Country ; not calculated to promote patronage or to
excite jealousies. He flattered himself that when" the
subject came to be investigated, it would not he
found difficult to adopt a system of defence which
would be found fully adequate to the security of the
Country. He could not help expressing, upon this
occasion, his sense of the danger to which this. Coun.:
try would be exposed if proper measures were not
adapted for its security. There were many other
points necessary to be provided for, hut which it
was unnecessary to enter into at present ; nor would
he now have troubled the House with his senti-
ments, but for the imputation which had been
thrown out against him for keeping an improper
silence.

The Motion was agreed to without a division.

LONDON, NOYE.ItIBER 6,18 or.

WE this morning received Paris Papers to the
/4 inst. In their contents, as usual, we find little
that deserves notice. The_ most prominent article,
and which occupies nearly the whole of one Moni-
teur, is the new Batavian Constitution. To Eng-
lish Readers, this cannot be very interesting. The
following are seleaed as the chief Articles in which
Foreigners can feel any interest.

Art. 20. The Batavian Republic.is One and Indivisible.
21. Its European Territory remains divided into Eight De-
_ partruents, the limits of which shall be the same as those
of the ancient Provinces, with the exception of certain mo-

Countries already annexed to the Territory of the Republic,
shall belong.

• State, composed of Twelve Members, who shall be chosen

trait, whether rents, obligations, receipts, or any other obli-
gatory acts, are to be exchanged ,as soon as possible tOr na-
tional obligations,. with Out any dedudion, either of Capital
or of Interest.

A Paris article says, " Three hundred English
Passports have arrived, to be distributed to Mer-
cli2ntmen who are about to repair to remote Coun.
tries, where the news of the Peace has not yet
--reached. A similar number of French Passports
"has beet; sent to London, for British Ships."
