The PA.RLIAMENTARY.REGIST,EIZ, containing an
History.of the Proceedings and Debates of both Houses of
Parliament, is now increased td upwards of Eighty Volumes, ,
comprehending a period from 1743 to 1800. Nor is it an ha-.
zardous assertion, that, from *the Materials of which they
are composed, the Knowledge they cOntain,Ahe Instruction
they convey, and, the stautpof Authenticity which they bear,
they tbritt a political Code or Colle6tion, which has not been
produced:by any. Age but that in which we -have lived, or in
any Nation but that to which we belong; . I m' the the His-
:Conan must pursue his research, the Politician must learn his
science, andsthe Orator improve his elocinence.
When the period which they occupy is considered, with the
great and most extraordinary events.which have distin6oished
it, the importan%objeds of external relation :and domestic
econornywhich ate discussed in theni, and the talents of those
men who engaged in the discussion, there can be no doubt
of a general concurrence in the opinion which has been, given
of thern. To facilitate their utility, nothing seems to be
wanting but pn accurate, well-digested, and comprehensive
Index; and-such a desideratum is now. preparing for the

:Urori the termination .of a Contest •in
nom its peenhar naiure, the. ras!.:ion's of Men have
I)een so much agitated and inflamed,- it is natural to

expel the same extremes of opinion which have
been evinced by different persons and by different
parties during its continuance. Mr. Fox, we now
find, is to support the Peace=--because he is to con-
tend that any Peace, upon any terms, in the present
state of Great Britain, was preferable to the con-
tinuation of War—while, on the other hand, we
hear Mr. WIND'? Am, and his Partizans, are to ob..
jest to the Peace, because War is preferable to any
Peace in the present state of France.

We believe the good sense of the People of
England will agree with neither of these Propo-
sitions—They will neither think this. Country as
much reduced in its resources as Mr. Fox would
represent it, nor will they. agree that War
.should be carried on either for the purpose of re-
stating the Bourbo n Family, or of effecting any
material, change either in the Government or in the
Power.of France, or' for the purpose of enabling 'us
to acquire or retain more Colonial Possessions.
They will naturally weigh. the Value of thek ob_
jeas with the probable price of attaining them, and
upon these grounds they will think that it would
have been .most unwise and impolitic in Ministers
to have, rejeaed Peace upon the Terms on which it
has been-concluded.

The Peace is condemned because all has not
been .obtained which has been contended for—ls

it then indeed a great reproach to Ministers that,
left alone in a Contest in which'they engaged with
several other Powters, they have not attained every
thing they aimed at when the Confederacy was en-

tire ? If it is true that France has a more extended
Dominion than Englishmen can contemplate with-
out anxiety, is this the fault of the Ministers of
this Country, or of ►hose Powers, who, having en-
tered into a Confederacy to keep her within her
own limits, afterwards deserted it, and left us to
carry on the Contest alone ? What we contend for
is, that the Contest is closed with honour and glory
to the Country, and that, considering all the cir-
cumstances in which both Nations are placed, the
Terms of Peace held out that, which Ministers
have always contended to be essential in any Peace,
—Security to this Country. We rest our opinion
of that Security on our relative strength—on the
means we possess of improving that strength—and,
above all, on the Reputation and Charader which
we have acquired in the eyes of all Europe during
the recent War, by the exploits of our Arms, and by
the good Faith, the Firmness, and the Generosity
which we have shewn to every Nation which has
been in alliance with us.

Are we then indifferent to the Prdier of France

Certainly not—lt remains however to be seen,
'whether the extended Territory of France really
'produces strength. But admitting that France has
advanced in PoWer and Resources, has Great Britain
been stationary for the last ten years-?=Compare
the state of our -Trade and Manufadures now and
At the beginning of Ole War----look at-the enormous
increase in our Exports and- Imports, and in the

Tonnage in our Merchant. Ships, and we too shall
be found to have advanced in all those thipgs whith
render Nations great and powerful. If it be said
that We have exhaUsted much of our Resources in

the course of this, War, so has France also—We
arc to look to the point from which each Nation
starts ; and when we are told that France is to
rival'us in our-Trade' and Manufaaures, we must
observe that this has often been threatened in for-

trier times, but never effeaed—that both the Dis-
position and the Capital are Wanting—that for a
Nation to become wealthy and powerful by the

means of Commerce, its People must possess -CUs-
toms and habits which never yet belonged to the

People of France ; and that, though the French Re.

volution has made great changes, it has not created
any large bodies of wealthy Men, disposed, as in
this Country, to increase that
_wealth through the
medium of Commerce.

Let any fair man consider the state of things
now and at the time when .the two great Questions
were depending (both of which have been decided
in our favour), of the Northern Confederacy, and
the Possession of Egypt—Let him consider the pre.
sent state of things, as settled by the Peace, and
compare them with any. Terms to which he would
have agreed at any period since we were abandoned
by our Allies, and he will •be satisfied. We do
not say that we have acquired all that
.we could
wish—that there is not much left to excite our vi-
gilance—much to interest us deeply ; but we say,
that e have.escaped from a great danger and dif_
ficulty, which we could not avoid, with Credit and
trunOur to ourselves—andsthat if we fairly contern.:
plate our future pros Peas, we shall find nothing
which ought- to dismay us—nothing which ought to
excite aiarm for the Sal,;. ty; thelrdependenee,.or
1 the Greatness of the Nation.
