-deniably, if we could pot forth a greater portion
elf our.netairal strength, that is of onr men, than
the
~,P,OOO. it would be a- great advantage; for
there could be no question of the hfgh quality of
a British Army. But under present circlunstances,
Iwe could not spare more. In many respects it
would .he a great savitquu to ns, for the British
Army would cost 701. or 801. a man, instead of
101. or 201. The present arrangement was the
most beueficlal.to this country that could he made.
A formercubsidy to Sweden was 401. a man, and
that to PrtiSsia in 1794 was 600,0001. for 18,000
men, which was 301. a _nian. And in all former
subsidies we were obliged to make advances to put
the troOps of our Allies
.into motion. Now the
troops of our Allies were in motion before even the
subsidy. was agreed on. A Right Hon. Gent. (Mr.
Tierney) seeined last night to think that there was
something extremely improvident in the arrange-
ments entered into, because the armies of the Al-
lies were not in the enemy's country at once. But
those armies were in motion on the Ist of April.
They could not all be in cantonments on the ene- •
my's frontier, and they must have time to come
from a great distance. But their moiement
commenced as soon-as they heard of Buonaparte's
landing in France. Their movement was inde
pendeot of all subsidy: If the Powers did not
led a very strong motive in coming, they would
not be put in motion so soon. It must be ex-
tremely_ consoling and encouraging to this coun-
try to see sad) an extent of force ranged on her
side. Though France by breaking a treaty had
gaincd.a considerable addition to her armies, by
the prisoners restored to her, yet it was much in-
ferior to the improvement in the force of the Al-
died Powers. In the last war France had all the
fortified places from Dantzic to her own country.
They' were now all in the hands of the Allies.—
There were 56 fortresses, most of the first wag-
nitride and importance now in the 'possession of
the Allies, that had.in the last been in the ()cell-
,
pation of the enemy. The French Armies. were
therefore at that time distributed over the whole
face of Europe without...any expellee. There w,as".
a vastly greater proportion of the Allied Armiea
obliged to mask those fortresses at that time, than
of the French force garrisoned in them. The
positions :of • the Powers were therefore now
completely inverted. Those fortresses, instead
of being to the hands of the French, were now the occupation of their legitimate Sovereigns,
and in case of any reverse on the side of the Al-
lies, they would take up a much larger force of
the enemy to besiege.them than of the Allies to
defend theta. There was Luxembourg,Mayence,
and that line of fortresses in the hands of the
Allies. There were behind this line Antwerp,
Bergen-op-Zoom, Maestricht, and another line
of trtresses. The House must therefore perceive
how improved was the condition : and thought the
fate of battle must be always acknowledg,ed to be •
in the hands of Providence, we had the consola-
tion to know, that never was our cause more just,
n'or ever were -we assisted with a greater power.
Indeed-he believed we had also a great power or a
great proportion of the population in the heart of
France with us. It was not therefore in the order
of nature that- one Power could contend against
an union of all the Powers of Ent-4Tc against her.
Thi!, country was certainly contributing greatly to
them, but then she was contributing only in pro-
portion to her -greatness, and in a clegi-ee which
was as wholesome as honourable.to her. • [Jotter
those circumstances, therefore, he should con- .
elude with moving, that there be five millions
granted to his. Majesty, to enable him to make'
good 'his engagements with
-the, three (heat Con-
tinental Powers, Russia, Prussia, and Austria.
