'true to ourselves.
.!
Mr.'IIOI3HDUSE supported the Preliminaries of
Peace. He was sure that-Ministers, in the great enea-'
sure which they had just completed, had been aduated,
by the best and most laudable motives ; ,t hey appeared',
to him not to have been influenced by .a vain d'esire'
of popularity ; they let popularity take its.proper,
place in the procession ; 'it followed,. but did' not
lead-them. He wished, -hoWever-,:lo be understood
to speak only of this 'measure, but at the same itim"
he had great hopes that the rest of their-- conduit
vetlid-correspond with that which had given such
universal satisfadion, and that there would be. none-
of those incroachments upon the.Constitutioo which
had been alluded to by some Gentlemen. • At pre_
sent, he should not trouble the HoUse.any farther,
Except to say, that he highly approvedof the IPeace, *
and of the condua of His Majesty's. Ministers.
Mr. BAKER said,. lie was anxious-not to give a
.eilent vote upon a subjed of so,muchimportance,'---He •
perfeltly concurred in the sentiments of the-tion. •
Gentleman who spoke last, with regard to the con-
- duet of the, present Administration, 'and placed the
most peilea reliance iri.thcir honour and
`lfutihde terms of the Peace were not so good

have 'wished, he was convinced that was oaf
the !Lurk of Ministers, who, he gas, iire,had dope
every thing,iti- their power to obtain the.best pos-
sible terms' for the- Country. And, -if they had
fined,. it. was owing to the circumstances of the
times,- and to the predominant poWer-of France.—
Ile great question for, -the. House to decide
Was, whether the terms of the Peace were ade-
quate to our situation, `considering it witli re-
lation to. the situation of ,France.?. -and upon the
hest consideration he . was able to give' 'the slib.
jeet, he was inclined .to .think, they 'were. . It
had been said in'the course of the Debate, that, we •
Lad now to contend against the Power, and not
against the Principles, of France.-
_TO this proposi-
tion he could not accede ; became, in fad, we were •
contending against power founded upon those.
_very
principles, principles which France had favaziably
aded upon in all her traiisaetions with foreign--Na-
lions. He had been much struck with an observa.. •
tint.) which had been made by, an. Hon.-Gentlernan, ;
that France, in the whole Of this trans#tione had
livhe w n nothing like any principles of conciliation.
`.'he retained 'every one of those possessions which.
61.1 e had acquired by the exercise of those prin.;
(''Ples against which it was now supposed we had
,tlO longer to contend. It was. unnecessary for'
in' supporting this argument,. to 'go over
all the arguments that could be adduced upon.
the subjed. He teed not state the cases of pal_
land, Flanders, &c. . Her conduct with regard to
handers, skewed- that she set all. Treaties at defi-
nce, when they interfered with herprojeas, and:
she now retained Flanders,-whicleshe had so actjuired,
to the great danger, of this Country. There was
another part of the condua of France which was re-
'iulted at, in the Negotiations of Paris and Lisle,
Which seemed to have been admitted ua this, viz. that
Whatever. they -acquired in the War, and incorporat-
ed With their Dominions, becatip absolutely an_
texed, to their Dominions that they would not suffer
them to become the subject of „negotiation. The case
of Belgium and of Savoy proved thiS assertion.
t'osideration seemed to have ,beect...oYerlooked. in
the present Treaty. 'Besides, it should be recOl_
leaed that France had never, either in forM or
sit\tustanee, repealed the famous Decree of the ?9th
;kyl '792; nay, she W.not only not given it, up,
h-t she had invariably ailed upon it. He had been,
• el?elieved, in, common with every' other inan in
the li"se, much struck with the very eloquent
Speech of a Right Hon. Gentleman last night. He
kas of opirfiOli that that Right Hon. Gentleman was
ritir.led- to the gratitude of his Coun'try, not only
• f°t his conduit while Minister, but'for his disin-
lerestediiess• since he Jiad. left '4ce :, there were,
however, some- parts of Speech .in whit.m be
could riot coricur ;' some parts of. it appeare:t to be
overcharged, avid -some quite the.'rey..er,,v. In

ed irrthe public Newspapers, which were repre.

le' fatt• too much exhauSted to 'do it ; but he
had to say 'a few words upon two points which
Zbeen alluded to by -the flon. Gentleman who
iak'ke last, and which appeared t o him to be of some
111(1)rtance. The Hon.-Gentleman had stated, that
e Negotiations at Paris ae,d,Lisle, the French
laid it down as a principle that they _would not

give up any Countries which.they had con_.
jeltlii:red.:tbut that they wou',d not even'adinit of any

the

'proposed,,.bx, which England would have retained,
in h.-1 hands .a possesilon
,Of

necessary to go into'the iartisulari,of that ciicurn-}
stance ;- it was suflicient to say, that Ministers did
not.think it advisable to accept ir.—Wigkrespea
the:Secret Aificles -6f-' which' the Hon. -Gentleman
ha& spoke, he could' only sdy,` that there Was not a
word of truth in 'then' 'frbm one end to the other.

• 'Mr. EAKER Said a feW words in explanation.
Mr.--DAWSON'iald'be rose to pay'llis tribute to
those-Ministers Who bad concluded a Peace, which
appeared' to hien to' Meet universal approbation in this.
Country; and he Was' enabled 'to say, that in that
partofthe.United Kingdom with which he was more
peculiarly conneeted, the joy at the peace was at
• least equal tä that 'which was felt in this Country.
He was in Ireland when the news of the. Peace arrived
.there, and he could undertake to say, that he did
not.iteeto man who was Well, affected to the Go-
yerameut, _that is to .say to.the Constitution, who
did not, rejoice at.it, wo_not,_perhaps, right for
him, as an Irish Member,. to enter into a discussion
of the' -origin of the War, and 'the c2ridutl of the
British Ministers before the'Union-had taken place,
,but he felt hithself fully justified in.giving•his de-
cided 4pprobation 'to a measure which he thought
caiCulated to produce the most beneficial. effeets, to
the United Kingdom, and especially- to that part of
it to which he had the honour more particularly to
belong:.: It' Ire \vete asked whether he thought 'this
Peace was likely tote secure, he had no hesitation
in answering that question in the affirtnative. With
regard to the terms, he had such an opinion of the
present Administration, that he was convinced they
were -as good as Could be obtained. Upon the
whole;-he , should giVe 'this Peace, which he consi-
dered As partitularly necessary. for Ireland, his
hearty approbation. „.
Mr.; ,W. WYNNE said, that after so "many
Gentletnen had so fully;and so ably spoken upon
this subjea, he certainly 'Was - unable to add
any thing new upon it, "but he could not give a
:silent vote. He could nor lOok upon the Peace
With the same senthitents of satisfaCtion as many
-Gentlemen had done, beCanse he thought it was one
big with danger to the Country.
Colonel WOOD said no man felt more than he
,did the danger that threatened this Country. from
:the over-grown power Of France, but under all the
circumstances of the times, • he approVed of the Peace.
'He then. proceeded to investigate the terms,' 'which
he considered, if not such as could be wished, yet such
-as afforded great additional "security to-the posses-
, sions of this Country in'the East and in the West
-Indies. '

'2l/1r ELLISON observed, that though he had limn,
principle supported the War, as ,deeming it ag-:
gressive on the 'part of France, he was 'friendly in
the highest degree to the Peace atchieve& by His
Majesty's present-Ministers,-who, he thought, had
aged wisely, and particularly on the present occa-
sion--He repelled, the idea, that the Country was in
a, state of humiliation ; on the contrary, he thought
her recenrctindukpeculiarly glorious to her.r—She
was true-to her Allies, and had adequately asserted
herown honour and interests.. He thanked Ministers
for what they Iraci done : his best support and in-
fluence was at their service The Peace, he trusted,'•
would'unite every heart and hand in the Country'
in• support of GOvernment, and render Britain:
in Cifea as impreiOble as Malta itself ; and he
trusted the blessings of Peace would be coalmen-
surate "the wishes of a patriotic Minister.
Mr.. Nicwou.s.,, was confideht that the Peace
Would 'prove `fe resped to. this Country, in
view.—The, principle's of'France
weie moth altered. from what they'had2beeo;_, -ond he
should look to theTroclaination of tlie First Con-
sul on _the 7th, July,' as to a cr.terion-4n that
inurnment, Bonaparte ' held forth to the French
Pebple; not 'the—abolition of Royalty, as he was
invested with all its prerogatives himself----not the
abOlition of Church Establishment's; for these at'
present existed in France ; .but that she'Was no
longer a Nation in which a. system of excluSion
and -debasement existedthat the whole- national
honours ,and.emoluments Were no longer confined to
d feW to: thelexcluSion and debasement of the multi_
did. not make;theSe'allusions in a view of
invidious coinparisOn; for such could not be made with
res'peti.to this Country .—No person was here on ac-
Count,:Of' his birth. debarred from rising to the
highest :.eminences in, the. learnt:d. proiessions, the
Law, the Church, the Navy, or the Military Esta_'
blishments ; the Nobility of, pitain were not
a Privik.ged Order, or -.a system of e)tclusion. On
the :contrary, these establishments operated as a
stimulus to the ambition and the exertions of her.
people. He would instance . the . numerous prefer-
ments which were made in the Law, Church, &c.
&c. even to the highest orders.,of the ,Peerage.---,
•Reetirring then to the Question of Peace:, be ex_
pressed his conviction of the sincerity of the French
Government—Much..seemed to be 4pprehended from
France becoming a Commercial Nation ;_t let t her.cha,
rafter in that resped woulci alter; he wished it,might,
He had rather see her attention turned to her -, Com
Merceard to her Colonies, than her power employed
in dangerous, hostile, or destrudive projects. In this
view, he wished.she might regain the en tire possession
of St. Dorningo; and lie wished it. with a view to the
safety of our.own West India Islands, and ofjamaica
in particular ; for in the present- situation of St.
Domingo, that invaluable island could not be safe.
He'also regarded the Peace 'with satisfaction as the
basis of reciprdcal Commercial benefits, and of the
renewal of the Commercial Treaty with France ;
the operation of this, he • thought, would give
ui a Peace Establishment more efficacious than
that of any standing Military Force 'whatever.
—He firmly believed. the present Treaty was
made in the true spirit of reconciliation, and he
gave Ministers :full credit • for their meritori-
ous-and patriotic conduct in procuring
.such a Peace
for' - the Country.. -At the same -time, he was
induced to commend the moderation displayed by.
Bonaparte, particularly ivith resped to Austria,
which, he. thought, was highly honourable to' him.
If riches were the object pt the French, they who
were an ,enlightened and., wise People well knew.
that they were. not to be acquired by... the means

Lord HAIVKtSBURY'enter'A , into a 'detailed
explanation, 'with respeEt.to certain ArticlA of, the
Preliminaries, ,which had, been touched upon in the
course.; of the, Debate, and in regard to the Gua-
rantees lately entered into by Great Bri-tain-.-
regard to'- that of the Diiminions Turld.sy; and
what 4,had beep 'iaid of the internal state of .that
Country, he observed tthe .difference was great
and obvious between a Guarantee of the Terri-
tories of any" Power; and its.' forth -of Govern-
menf-:.--the former respetted only, the case- of ex-
ternal Fotee•,broght against it ::—and in the in-
stance in

siderable point 'gained' On Our—side; for should
Parliament, on ally-future occasion, wish not to see
Turkey dismembered, and particularly by Frances
they would find it not only contrary to: express
Treaty, but'a dire6t violation
.of faith with Great
Britain.

R. T HQR NTONspoke highly in approbation
of the Peace, 'for which he thought Ministers de-
served the thanks and_gtaitude of the Country ; it
was the more acceptable, as'unexpetted, by the
great body of 'the •Pdoplel'Aitid 'he had reason to
think Ministers had ,obtained the most favourable
terms-that possibly could be got. fle.likeWise com-
mended .the secrecy with which the Negotiations
were concluded. France, -he observed, might
be increased in bulk ; but she was not -pro-
portionally so, in real: Strength and 'muscle.—
Peace was desirable at almost ,-any rate; and that
Treaty which: terminated the 'American War,tho'
at first so strongly reprobated, he thought favour-.
able to this Country ;- and repeated, that the Na,.
tion was highly indebted' to those Ministers who
had in the present- instance-procured. the Blessings
of Peace..

Mr. OGLE expressed his opinion that the War
was originally founded in a wise poticy;grid-the sys-
tem had been acted .upon with much spirit, and
vity for the general objcd, and
.the protection And
security of civilized institutions. He firmly -be-
lieved it was owing to the Monarchical Genite. of
England,. and the laudable' 'exertions of that Coon-
try, that there existed any remnant of a civilized
Constitlftion in Europe. He observed, that with re-
sped to that part of the United Kingdom to which
he had, the bower to belong, not,a man of loyalty
in %%116'd-id not receive the tidings of
the Peace with joy and: •Satisliftidni and nu the
contrary, not a Aebo or a disAiredeid itidiNtidual.who
did not receive it with disapprobation and tegret.7:-
He expressed his regret, thathoWever in sothe.points
of view, it may be „,,:d that the !oval!), of 'lreland
was discountenanced,—and he would .recommend to
the Government of England,. that if. they wished to
retain the Country he spoke of, they; would support •
the loyal Protestant men of Ireland—he" had seen
the 'loyalty ,of Ireland ,depressed ; but -he' would
assert; that ,there,:., was that stock of genuine
loyalty in Ireland,- which .could never be totally ;
'depressed, -and which, under any circumstances
would,. never '.quit its ctinnedinn with Great
; those he alluded to loved Great 14ri-
"tain;, and their 'wish was never. to separate from
her ; they would die, were it necessary, at the foOt
of the'''lhronebut. he Must h'dd, they would die',
wlth'the more satisfadion, were they duly support-
ed by the Government of England. In the -present
situation of that Country, however, it might be re-
garded as a Garrison,' and such. a force,muA be
established there as should be sufficient to proteCt the
loyal, and keep down .:he disaffeded.
The cfrAxcELEbß' of the' 'EXC HEQUE R
he trusted that the House. would readily be-
lieve.; that at that late hour; and after What' had -
passed. that -and yesterday evening, his 'intention
was nnt.to detain them many minutes: a few points
however had transpired in the course of the Debate,
respeCting which hefeitlit necessary to make some
observations. He had to expreSs his-indescribable
-gratification, at having, with the rest of His Ma-
jesty's Servants, received such abundant proofs:that
their condud had excited general approbation—
these-Proofs that their conduet, under circumstances
certainly' the most trying, had given satisladion,
would certainly render them the more, anxious, scru-
pulous, and.attentive.in the. performance df ,every
part of their duty. He had, however, to 'observe, that
the gratification arising from the favourable Opinions'
. -of such a numberof Gentlemen, - was , considerably
qualified. by sentitnt-mts of a-very different descrip-
tiori,,from 'others, and not from .a:small number of
Gentlemen for whom he necessarily most entertain
the highest opinion. sy, what had: fallen from the
Right Hone Gentleman who .poke 'last, he enders-.
stood, and that too from an authority which he
had no reason to doubt, that those Hon. Gentlemen
who so highly disapproved of the Peace,' were coun-
tenanced in that disapprobation' by the feelings and.
opinions of the disaffected, and that so far as feel-
big hurt at the Peace, their. feelings, uneXpededly
no doubt by them,. , were in unison with. (hose
of the... United Irish. He commented with :-con-
siderable force and effeti upon what had
.fallen
in 'the course of that evening from his 'Right Hun.
Friend who led the debate. That Right Hon.,
Gent.- seemed to- think that Peace could not be sin-
cerely made - on both sides, or firmly established
with France, until, not only the Government, and
Political Principles -of France. ,were changed,..but
even until , the Morals and Manners 'of her People
Were radically reformed. With respeet to these
measures,- he should observe-, that an answer to them
all was comprised' in a question asked by. that Right
Hon. Gent. himself Are we never to be at

that 'he rejoiced that the Sovereign had Yielded to

With -respeft to'what had. been said, in &impala-

he displayed mud' acuteness of remark; and Con-
tended that, in the *ay of argument; those WiTO de-
fended the' Preliminaries had a right to put the
case as they had done, and that the House, *hich
approved-Of_the Negotiation at Lisle; coiiid not;
in consistency or justice, refuse' their approbation in'
this instance. ,% After dwelling shortly but forcibly
on this part of his subjed, he adverted to points more
closely
.conhefted with, the "Pacification itself. It
had been said, that the Continental' power of. France
was not abridged, and that Britain .was confessed_.
ly unable to contest that power. It was never
meant to.say, that. the Power of Great ritaing was
• not such, that if properly used, it may with every del
sirablc effeA, be Placed in the scale opposite to that
of France ; in this idea, he did not mean hostilely
opposed, but in the way of comparison, of their
political pOlitical power
.and influence. . He. Must revolt at
the idea, that because France 'had made con.:
siderable acquisitions, that Engia.nd could not raise
its head—far from it ; and in proof of which,
he had only 'to desire those who doubted, to
look at the state of our Armies and Navy, and
