necessities d, the .public, were ,unusual, and tkis
would justify them in. rect;ding ft-nth common forms.

But. feeling the obligation imposed, by the pleage
-which had been given, .he,,w,a4-sure that it:Wai not
!Tis' Majesty's intention to limit an expence, whiesll"
was ti'ecep,sary for the due e::secution ofa r:kbaribus and
indiSpensible duty:. This was not one of ,:the:Oints
to Which economy- could be properly applied : 1715
Hon.-Friend had . into two'rist-alces'::-.lra.al--

luded to a person, as appointed io this.Artty, for
which, indeed, none could. be better qualified (Mr.
Hobhouse). But the filet • was, that no such ap-
•pointrrient had been made. . It. v..ap-only—Whenthe
;House Was in a partierilar Comrhitte-ands-when a
call was made for such a person,.tbat the, appoint-
ment ofa CilairMary took place. `l'here, bad,as yet
been no such Committee, nor bad there;Veen any
.such Call.' He had fallen into another -mistake.:`.No
salary was at present fixed for the.place. Since the
Revolution,till of late years 'there•l=l been a salary
attached-to it, which' had been paid out of the Civil,
List. But the House thinking it inconsistent with
their privileges that the person who discharged a duty'
in which they:were- particularly concerned ;should'
be paid in this manner., abolished .the prat-lice, and•
at the end of every Session voted such a remunera-
tion as to theth seemed proper. If then his Hon.
Friend had . any objection to. this, it 'would come
better at the end' of the Session,. when the vote of
remuneration should he prOpoSed. But what were
the duties of this office ? It was necessary that the.
person Avho'hehl. it should be 4)wpm:ea will) a full
knowledge of the business of the House, and- all its.
public duties ; 'and that he should be acquainted
with, and explain its orders, when in a Committee :
he was bound to attend from the.sitting dirtheliouse
to'its rising ; all which would require time,, atten-
tion, ability;and a areat deal of personal labour. In
every respect: 'his ,Hon. Friend near him was. well
qualified ; and certainly whoever performed the duty.
well, was entitled to some remuneration. But the
Hon.,Gentleman suppOsed that. The duty might be
performed by other Officers of. the Crown who bad.
abundance of leisure. for it. All he Would say to
that was, that if there were any offices, the duties
of which were 'o• trifling as he Supposed, the proper
mode would be.:to move the abolition of them. If
the Hon.. Gentleman'- Resolution should be. agreed
to, the result would. he, according to the proverb--;-.
that " what was:every body's business would. be no-
body's businesS," and consecitienilY confusion and
disorder. would take 'place of that regular abd orderly.
rt,ay in which the btisine,.; of tire House had hither

Gineral. AIkIDREOSSI, -the
newtgretlch Ambassador, today had his audience of
the I\linister. of Mate, Count STADION.

IT is said in a Morning Paper, adverting tcr the
lateenvotiation with France, that " on our side the •
discussions appear to have been conduEted with a
Iri?Odcratiou bordering on timidity, and a degree of
bpenness 'tint far removed from simplicity."— In
what pita of the CorieTondence between:the tWo-

Coup:tr:ts this .tieniclity Can 1)e ciiscoverzci, it is (fat-

, cult to say, and,,tve -might, safely defy the •Print al--
ended to to specify 'any :instance_ of that tituidity
win& it impatei to the Condua of:. the Bri-
tish Negotiato:s, or the instruction derived -from
our Government. • From the -.commencement of
the whole Proceedings, -every than who is not
klinded. by the mists of Party cane islainly see
that a basis was laid down from which, there ne-
ver was the least dis.positiOn to throughout-
the discussions VhiCh'were so at-tinily. protradedby
France. On the.contrarY, that basis was resolUtely

supported upon all occasions, and so far from sheaving
any of that credulous and torpid simpikity Which the
Morning Paper imPutes to Ministers, they did not in
the slightest degree relax in their efforts against
the Enemy: Did they for a moment refuse to
consult the interest, of our Allies ? Did they not
reje6t all compromise that should not be. sanainned
by the previous concurrence of" those Allies i Did

they not unequivocally and decisively: insist upon_an
unconditional-restoration- of- Hanover, because that
EleCtorate was seized contrary to 'every principle of
justice, and every right belonging to a neutral, and
independent State ? Where, then, is this timidity
so unjustly- imputed to the British Government ?
If it be simplicity to -be anxious fcir the restoration
of Peace upon terms honourable to ourselves and to
our Allies, then indeed have Ministers beenguilty of
simplicity; but it is the sitnplkity of candour, of
justice, of humanitg. Our Enemy is indeed exempt
'from all such simplicity. 'But ; the MOrning
Paper. alluded to is not . contented with attribut-
. ing this timidity and- simp/icity to the British Adrui-,
Oistration, fdr it confidently says, that ‘‘ the whole
tenor of the Negotiation exhibits one uninterrupted
struggle of principle without i4cision, .agaitsst tleci-
sioit without principk." This is.a pretty sounding
ante-thesis, but is wholly unstipported by fa% so
far as relates to the coudu& of- this Cowart. The,
Uti Altsidetis was plainly laid down as the principle
of the Negotiation by Ministers, and it was at first
admitted by Fiance. From this principle we never
suffered the Enemy to depart in any one instance,
but on all points manifested an immovable daision.
But .vre haVe only to refer our Readers to the
important
,documents. relative to _this Negotiation ;
and while it must be acknowledged, on the bile
band, that nothing was. omitted by out Govern.:
meat 'likely to procure an honourable Peace, it -it
equally obvious that, on the other, they shewed no
disposition to make any concessions, inconsistent with
.the interest, the good faith, or the honour of this.
Country. • •
