SUPPLY.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
moved the Order of the Day for the House to re-
solve itself into a Committee of Supply, and that
His Majesty's most Gracious Speech should be re-
ferred to the said Committee ; which being carried,
the SPEAKER left the Chair, and a Resolution hay.
ing passed the Committee that a Supply should be
granted to His MAJESTY, the House resumed, and
the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow,
STANDING ORDERS.

Mr. BRAGGE moved the Order of the Day on
the adjourned Debate relative to the Standing
Orders, the consideration of which was postponed
on Friday.—Mr. BRAGGE observed, he thought
some better mode might be devised of arranging
'the Standing Orders now under consideration, par-
ticularly so far as they related to the Irish Peerage.
He thought the best method of effecting this purpose
would be to refer them ma Committee above stairs,
who might consider the same,- and report their
opinion to the House. He therefore moved, " That
the Orders of the Day should be discharged, and
the , said Standing piders referred to a Committee
tp consider the matter thereof, and report their
opinion thereupon to the House."---Ordered.

LONDON, NOPEMB ER 3, 18ot.

IF we have for some days past at all intermitted
in advancing arguments in defence of the Peace, the
Preliminaries of which have been Signed and Ra-
tified, we confidently hope, thrtt our Readers will
attribute it not merely to our heeling that enough
had been said on this subjea to satisfy every unpre-
judiced Mind ; not merely to (tur persuasion, that
the public.opinion was pretty well made upon it,
but to the near approach of th,t opening of the Ses-
sion of Parliament, when the opinion of those, who
are much better qualified thtm ourselves to form
correa ones, would at t raft the at tention of the Public.
We have-carefully read all :that has been so se-
dulously advanced on this subjtia, in Prints hostile
to the present Administration. Our opinion re.
mains unaltered ; and we believe that of the Conn,.
try almost unanimously to coimeide with us.. Be-
tween our Opponents we shill ever be disposed to
make distinaions—On the ore side w see high
public spirit betrayed into eittravaganci,t•s, which,
we think, neither the circumptanees of qiis
i Cour)-
•
try, nor of Europe n its present state, warrant.
On the other, we can
.discover nothing tnit shame-
less inconsistency, glaring contradiaion,, and a de-
cided predileaion for France (which it has ever
shewn) manifested by an unremitting and traitorous
delight, in exulting in the glory of the Republic,
and in triumphing in, what they call, tile disgrace
of Great-Britain.

Is Great Britain then disgraced ? In what respea
has she been so, either in the prosecut ion of the
War, or in the conditions on which Ole has con-
sented to terminate it ? 'l he War; was, in its
origin, one of Self-defence. Let tit(' Opposition
deny this. We refer our Readers to the con-
fession of the author of it—to BkISSOT himself,
who, in his dying moments avows the grounds
on which he advised it. In the prosecution of it,
we have in no one instance failed of success, when •
British Arms were alone employed."—lf we hAye
been deserted by our Allies, is.our Government to be
blamed for such defection ? If we ha... called in at-
mining Continental Objects, wl••:te is the madman
who will assert,. without Continental co-opera_
.
tion, we could have the remotest chance of now pro.
secuting them with the smallest hope of success ?-4
the prqecution of the War, we have done all that bc.-

came a wine, a great, a magnanimoui Country t—ii
its termination, all that could be required by a rr,:,
fleeting, a discriminating, or enlightened People.

What had we to gain ?—We defy our oppostents
to answer these questions.—Was there the most rt..
mote prospe& of forming a new Coalition against
France ?—Had there been, Would any Minister,
under the present circumstances, after the repeated
and bitter disappointment that we have experienced.

have ventured to propose to the House. of Commons
.
a continuance of the War, merely under such et-
pedation ?—if there was not, where was FranCe
vulnerable by British Arms.?—What hope could
we entertain of emancipating Holland from her in-
fluence, or of detaching the Netherlands from their.
union with hex ? The Settlement of the Continer.t:
having already been adjusted by the Treaty of bose‘
wale, would she have listened for a moment to any.
proposition on our part, to give up that, which the
Powers most interested in requiring it had alreadi
conceded ? What object then would we have had
in prosecuting the War ? From her foreign pos-
sessions we could gain nothing ; for we had already
gained every thing.—The War then must havo
been continued, under an Annual Egpence of Piftf
Millions, without a hop of the redemption of the
Income Tax, under increasing burthens, and Or
purely defensive grounds, against an Enemy, who
might have possibly done us essential injury, either
at home or abroad ; and who might, and probably'
would have crushed those Allies which remained to
us, whom we had no means of assisting, and 'whose
Territories we have the pride and the glory to pre-
serve, by the sacrifices which we have made for so
honourable an object.

But, say the Supporters of Opposition, we might
have made Peace at any period of the War on bet,'
ter Terms.—,Could we ? When Was
,that period ?
—.Were these Gentlemen in the Secret of ROBE'
SPIERRE, or in those of the famed Executive Direc-
tory, when Lord MALMESBURY went to Paris first,
and afterwards to Lisle ? Do they know thoC
I)Tace might have been made at all in the former
period ? And what reason have they for thinlzing
r hat better terms might have been procured by Lorti
GRENVILLE in the latter ? Perhaps Lord Gars'
VIL L E will explain this—or how does he expe& ths
charaaer will stand with the Public ? But wa
are not to forget that Peace, had it been made,'
would have been infinitely more hazardouS to .Eitr
land, in proportion as that French Government
was more revolutionary, and less likely to be pet*
!Patient than the one with which we have treated'
But Mr. PITT refused to treat with BorsArAl4l:
two years ago ! Why ?—Because, after the various
rapid revolutions which had taken place in Frano
he had every reason to doubt that his Govern Ill°
was likely to be firmly established. On that point'
Mr. Prrt's approbation of the Neotiaticn which'
has taken place is conclusive.
Have we then gained nothing br the War ? 314
nothing but disgrace by the Peace ?-r-We have-r"
served our Constitution, the destruction of o'llo
was the objeEt of Revolutionary. Fiance when sr
forced us into it.—We have gained ',mortal Glatt
by Sea and by Land, the recolledicll of which 0d
never be effaced.—We have made initzoetant Co"
quests, the most precious of which we retain,---Sfc
have uniformly preserved inviolable Faith to opt
Allies-3 matter of little estintation to certain pet
sons, but of some to the Country. That Couna
has been preserved from the effects of Secret Ca 1
spiracy, Public Harangues, and Treacherous Publi
cations. In the Preliminaries of Peace we can
cover nothing but what men of public spirit,"
well as of moderation, may, and ought, to 4(11110
and applaud. We are- well persuaded, that
discerning Public, not easily to be imposed 0101
by specious declamations, will properly estimate the
measures of an Administration, in whom theirl(.ing
and Country have hitherto placed common c"'''
fidence, whose integrity no one 'has dared to
peach, whose uniform success no one can deny, 3
who are capable of preserving those blessings blO
Firmness and Moderation, to which Great Brits
is so much indebted for the uniform display of 6°54
useful and splendid qualities, •
