gtee, recruiting; sod therefOte, under all the cir-
cumstances, Peace, if made with honour, it would
have been wise Ito make, even on terms Less advan-
tageous than might have been expeded at the first
Year of a War—but this did not apply, exclusive-
ly, to this Country, it was applicable to the whole
Continent of Europe, which consequently required
rertruiiing, to give a chance of success in the con-
test, an objed deserving great regard. He was
certainly one of the last men in the House, or in
this Country, on this subje6l, or on any other, to
hold out desponding. language. He thought he had
a manifestation of public sentiment upon this occa-
sion, as upon other occasions, which proved that if
a renewal of hostilities became inevitable, however
desirable Peace might .be, yet the spirit of the Peo_
ple would be,fully equal to the contest. With re-
gard to the allusion of his Right Hon. Friend to a sup-
: posed transaction by which the honour of this Coun-
try was committed and forfeited, he could freely
say, that no step whatever had been taken which
committed or forfeited the Honour of this Country.
What steps had been taken by the Government of
this Country, it would be improper for him to dis-
close ; but it would be an extraordinary proposi-
tion to entertain, that we never were to bring
on the discussion with a Foreign Government on
any point, if we were not afterwards to state that
unless it was conceded to you, you would go to War.
He would correet the statement cf:his R.t :ion. Friend
on another point, for he seemed to have gone upon
an idea; that the resistance of Switzerland was in-
itigarell by this Country, or that after the com-
mencement of that resistance that His,! Majesty's
Government did interfere and held out encourage.
ment to that resistance. He thought it important
to say, that no part of this event was instigated by
the Government of this Country ; not only that the
resistance was not instigated in that case, but also,
that no encouragement whatever, after its commence-
ment, was given by this Country. The two other
Honourable Gentlemen who spoke early in this de-
bate, seemed to look at the present situation of Eu-
rope with some dissatisfaCtion. They had stated •
that some events had taken place which might have
been foreseen, and they seemed to distrust, in some
resped, the. Firmness and Sufficiency-of His Ma-
jesty's present Ministers to condu't the Affairs of
the country at the present crisis; and they accom-
_larded- this observation with a reference in particu-
lar to the Abilities of .a Right Hon. Gentleman,
(Mt;.hir) who was prevented by indisposition from
bein g in his place in the House this day—" In
t'evely thing
they could say," continued his Lord_
--Ail), " with reference to the abilities and the ser-
vices he has performed to his Country, they tvill find
-no penstoi more ready than myself to agree with
• theM.—lc is impossible for me to let this subjeet
pass over entirely in silence, especially after what
has been said by my Right Hon. Friend who spoke
last.--4 certainly approve of the measures of that 1
Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. PITT)---I have proved
it by voting for them ; but it is not always in the '.
power of the greatest abilities to command success.
I think I may say that the events which happened
towards the close of that Administration is a proof
of that observation, and, therefore, I felt the more
surprized, as I ebelieve the House did, when my 1
Right Hon. Friend (Mr. CAtiNING) stated-circum-
stances as if the condition of this Country was, at 1
the time of the close of that Administration, the
most flourishing, the most prosperous, the best cal- ,
culnted for the continuance of War, or for the mak_
iota of Peace, that was ever known-a-Such as any 1
en.s eto ,o the most ambitious temper fbr applause
would w itit to Come in at the head of Go vern-
roent ; as a state' in which it was of all conditions,
the most easy to condo& our affairs--With regard
to that event, I know that no motive did actuate I
him (Mr. PITT), in quitting -Government, but a
.sense of what he thought a superior duty—a matter
of opinion on a great and important question ; but
is it possible to forget, what was the state of events
at the:. time ? Does my Right Hon. Friend recoi-
led the State of this Country then—with a great
Combination of almost all Europe against us, with
the exception of the Cabinet of Vienna to be sure,
but which could not support us, so retoth as by
words ? Does he recoiled, the great dismay felt as
to ' various events, when myself, and those with
whom I have the honour of ading, succeeded to that
Administration ? I will not follow the Right Hon.
Gentleman through ' the particulars he has stated,
many of which are compleat in my mind in point of
fad—l allude to the Question with the Northern
Powers, which led to the Battle of Copenhagen. It
is well known, that other Powers were strongly
attached, to what was called, the Neutral Code—
and even after the Battle of Copenhagen,. and the
death of the Emperor Paul, no point could be at-
tended with more difficulty than that question was.
I am sure I can say, that tio point since I have had
the honour of a seat in the Cabinet, has been attend.
td with more difficulty than was that very point.
With regard to another event brought forward by
my Right Hon. Friend, I mean the Expedition to
Egypt, I will venture to affirm, that no man ever
applauded that Expedition more than I did, -et Who.
thonks, that under all the.circumstanees, it was not
the wisest disposition that could be made of our
Force at the time ; but to . state it as my Hon.
Friend has done, as one in which the event -was
certain, considering the comparative Force of the
French, the difficulties which our Force had to
encounter, and the whole of the detail of that
Expedition, is what I own astonishes me. I
know that every War and every Expedition
in War, implies a great portion of risk, and
that in moral certainties in such cases, we do
not mean absolute and physical certainties.---I be-
lieve this Expedition was the best mode in which the
Country could, at that period, have employed that
Foece. I believe too, that the event contributed
to ;the establishment of Peace. But if my Right
I-160. Friend consults the Military Officers employed
in that Expedition,
.who are most unquestionably
heSt able to give him correct information upon
it, . he will find it was not at the commences
tnent of the present Administration an event that
had any certainty about it. My Right Hon. Friend
made an allusion to a passage in the King's Speech,
and in the Address commented upon by.the Hon.
Gentleman opposite to me (Mr. Fox), in which my
Right Hon. Friend seemed to consider that the assent
given to the observation of that Hon. Gentleman,
by us, implied that we agreed with him on the sub- 1 '
jeet of the Peace Establishment of this Country—
our assent on that occasion, was, undoubtedly !

to The explanation. of that Honourable Gentletaan,
in that particular ; for he stated that all the Address
went to, was to concur in all Measures necessary
for the Interest of the Country.—The Hon. Gen.
tleman opposite to him, had said that, in his opi-
nion, that would be best supported by a small Peace.
Establishment, but that other individuals had other
opinions upon that subjea, and it would be time
enough to discuss the amount of the Establishment,
when it came to be proposed, and it was a point on
which difference of opinion was likely to arise ; and
it was only to the expression of that sentiment that
any assent was given by. Ministers. But.' have no
difficulty in stating it as rtiV'liks,n opinion, that in
the present state, of the Continent, it is impossible
that the Peace afablAhtrient iinhis Country, should.
far exceed What if iiSnalfy Was; and that if doubts
could have been erithtainOonn that subjetia events
which have happened Ante the Definitives Treaty,
have decided that question. One word to another part
of my Rt. Hon. Friend's Speech, and which was also
alluded to by the two Hon.'Gentlemen who followed
the Mover and Seconder of this Address, namely—
the state in which this Country now is as tesNaval
and Military Force. They seemed to think that
our Military Force has been imprudently disband-
' ed, and our Fleets dismantled; but the truth of that
matter is, that there never was before this time,
the first year of a Peace, when the Peace Establish-
ment of this Country was any thing like so consi.
derable as it is now, and . particularly the Navy—
nor was there ever a period in which the I.:lvy of
France was 56 reduced, My Right Hon. Friend
states, that what he looks to, is not the State or
Condition of the Terms of Peace between the two
Countries, but the Animus. If we look to the Animus
adone, and were-not,to have Peace until we were sa-
tisfied upon that particular, I am afraid we never
should have had Peace at all, either from the.-Mo-
narchy of France or froM its present Government.
I think it is manifest from the terms of the three
last Treaties of Peace we have • concluded with
France, compared with their'COndu6l, that at the
very time of signing, they meditated a breach of
them—The Animus is therefore out of the case, and
if we staid until we were satisfied on the mind and.
intention of France towards us being pacific, what-
ever opportunity might occur to favour hostility,
we should continue at War for ever.—An Hon.
Gentleman spoke in the course
,of this debate as
if he had some doubts respeaingathe prosperous state
of our commerce : die is conneded with a part of
our Country deeply. concerned in that matter, but
when accounts came, to be laid before the '
House upon that subjel, I am confident the
information which they will afford will be per.
fes=tly satisfaaory to that Honourable Gentleman, as
well as the House and- the Public, and will prove,
that nothing which has hitherto been advanced in
favour of the State of our Commerce, has been with.
out foundation. To preserve Peace, and to give to
the Country an opportunity to improve its great
Resources, both has been, and will be, the policy of
His Majesty's Ministers : but they cannot look to
the events which have lately happened, without cal-
ling on this House and on the, Country, equa9y
entertain a spirit of watchfulness on the State of
Europe, and to be prepared for the alternative.
Our policy has been, and will be, to resist unjust
demands made by any Foreign Power. The stand
must be made in the first instance, and to preserve
Peace as long as we can, consistently with that po-
licy, and with a due attention to the circumstances
of Europe, is the objet of His Majesty's Ministers.
Undoubtedly, the situation of Europe, whatever may
be.ascribed to particular persons, has fundamentally
changed, even in principle, by an extraordinary Re-
volution which has taken place in so considerable a
part of this world; a Revolution which, although it
may have ceased in some respe6.ls in its original spot,
could not have ceased to affect other Powers, and
that must be subje& of regret to every Lover of his
Country.—But it is not always in our power to re-
dress what we feel to be a grievance. I trust the
condut of His Majesty's Government will be such
as to satisfy the Country ; and as they are govern-
ed by no principle now, but that which governed
them at the time of agreeing to the Peace, they will
continue to maintain „the Honour and the Interest of
the Country, by preserving.; that.. Principle, which
has always been held in the.grealtest esteem among
us by the most enlightened
,aodaardent Lovers of its
Welfare.

Mr. WINDHAM said, that at this awful
crisis, in the midst of our present difficult situation,
and on the first day of die Session, and when the
fate of the Country was approaching, if the Address
proposed, spoke the sentiments of the Country, he
could not help considering it as unfortunate; but more
so, however men might differ in principles, if it
expressed the sentiments of the House, for then it
would he lost to its own principles and its own
feelings. Gentlemen seemed willing to represent
the present Government of France as a ship in stays,
I' there is no danger, (say they), she will not run
foul of you ;" but let them nor forget that this
which was represented as the, most stupendous
monument of human wisdom, might in its. ;Ali
spread ruin all aroundit. • One Hon. Gentleman said
" it is as innocent a thing as possible—let it alone—
it is one of those animals that will be made. worse
by ill usage." Yet could he forget, that while thus
let alone it had conquered his friend the Kixo of
ETautt tA ? His view of danger was this.—
He should be glad to know what reason there was
to think that France would go on so harmless ? Had.
it no power of doing mischief, no disposition to
enter into another contest ? The surrounding coun.
tries were seen to fall, one by one, couriers and
messengeis were arriving constantly, and the news
of one day did only " mock the speaker." Great
Britain at this .moment, in his apprehension, should
feel itself on the point of 'ikpiration—its ruin was
at hand ; and were We. 'isltia Mite reason why he
thought so, he consideritrk akihore fair to retort
the question, and (kilittlid ol'bilkers why he should
think the contrary ?°.!Ofilieselifanches which were
affectedly said to compose thei':imily of Europe,only
four or five remained,- and how were they situated ?
Prussia may be said at present to retain a degree of
Independence; but France spread itself in all di_
rations. Spain, Portugal, • Geneva, Genoa, %vit.
zerland, and the' whole of Italy, were absolutely
gone. Austria saw the Enemy advancing on all sides,
and dated not stir even for her own preservation.
Could it then be said that there was really no
danger when the German League Was totally dis.
solved ? In such a state it would be absurd to argue

from the force of numbers, as it was the quality of
infection and pestilence to grow stronger, and ac
quire more power, the more they have destr4r-
ed. Why not shew to other Powers, by our own.
example, the reasons why they also should pre-
pare ? If France had destroyed so much already,'
how much more may she not destroy in an equal
portion of time ? That nation must go on in a com-
pound proportion as the one increases and the other
diminishes. There were scarcely at present any
means of resisting it. It possessed a double power,
arid could not, in an ordinary way, be restored to
its gravity. Should it goon at the satne rate that
it did for the lait three months, Peace could not be
the means ofyittflog a stop to its career. It had
not hithefto Ih4-'effect of in the least checking it.
Duritiethitrin•teial, in the winter season, and in
the miclst.of:thiliirg blasts, it still continued to
increase.' was an argument which he consi-
dered himself authorised to press by induction from
the past to the future. Let them look to the map,
and geographically observe how great a portion of
habitable Europe was already in the hands of France.
Russia indeed occupied a large portion, in space and
population ; but France, by its influence and exten-
sion, was enabled to make use of a population of
fifty or sixty millions. Formerly, with a popu-
lation of twenty-four millions, it was often enabled
to over-run vast tracts of territory, even when there
was an opposing twenty-four millions to counteraa
it; but at the present period there was no balance
to oppose to it. The Russian Empire ran to a vast
extent at the back of Asia, but the peoule who corn.;
posed the general mass of the inhabitants were
lisped, uncivilized, rude and barbarous. • Was that
the situation of France with respect to its inhabit-
ants, and did we perceive no danger ? For his part,
he must say in the words of SH AK ESP EARE.--7

6, When now I think you can behold such sights,
" And keep the natural ruby of your cheek,
•'
" When mane is blanched with tear."

But even in this point of view, the strength of
the picture was not so great as it must appear on
hearing the arguments brought forward to console
us. The theory of Peace was, reduCtion of expense,
and commercial prosperity ; and it was contended,
that the operation of both these causes -would put
us in a better situation to contend with Fiance.
France was at this moment proceeding in the .
manner df Engineers,- encroachin4 on our lines of
operation and coniinunieation. I ranee may say to
us "wC are the Ilk form the garrison of
this citadel—we -Ail trade with Holland, America,
and other conitne4Eial Countries, hut we are deter-
mined not to trade with you." The arguments of
Ministers applied to traders who consulted their in.
dividual and immediate interests, but not to trade
itself in general—they were not those of Statesmen
who ought to look prospediVely. The French system
may make a deep impressiOn both on our trade and
naval greatness, which must go hand in hand, mu-
tually assist each other, and help each other up,
but which would, in the event of such an impression,
help each other down with an accelerating rapidity.
We should be in a very perilous state indeed by
emulation in such a race. It would be like running
a race against a exolf, which, if it cannot beat its
adversary, is sure to turn back upon him. To de-
:ermine on this question, it would be right to exa.
mine the effects of War and Peace. He should like
to know what in this case was the rationale of Peace ?
In the course of events we were obliged ultimately
to have recourse to either. They assisted each
other. In times of Peace we found the grounds of
War. In a prosperous War we might easily
make an advantageous Peace, hut we could not
so easily do that, when the War may be disastrous.
That he confessed to be in some respeets the case of
the last War. It was successful in its operations,
but by no means so in the attainment of its objects;
yet it left us in a better situation than if the War
had not taken place. We were successful in re-
ducing the Naval Power of France, though it now
appeared dangerous to us, increasing at the same
time in its progress and its means. We were now
at issue with a Power seeking our destruftion—
a •Power which had conquered, till the world nearly
left us the last to be devoured. It was true, that

every thing without-being fettered by the opinions
of the People, and the late addresses of the French
People shewed that they, apparently at least,
approVed of the condut of that Government. In.
deed, the most intelligent, men who lately visited
that Country, were agreed, that they no longer
thought about the Rights of Men, but that the
universal sentiment was the destruction of this
Country, and the means of its accomplishment.
'Trade, Capital, and Commerce, appeared to be the
three magic words which encbanzed the Minis.
stern, and a great part of the People of this Coun-
try. These were dwelt upon in the rhetorical
figure, called Amplification ; yet France found the
means of going on without any thing like credit.
Since the Preliminaries of the Treaty had been sign-
ed, they fitted out x 8 Ships of War, and no less
than io,ooo tons of hemp had been imported there
through the Baltic, all in British Vessels. There,
perhaps, never was so great an Expedition fitted-
out in so sliort a time as that to St. Domingo ; and if
the public accounts may be credited, a great rein-
forcement was soon to sail from the. Ports of
Holland. All this was done upon exhausted means,
and, what was infinitely worse, furnished, as it
appeared, byßritish capital. If it was suppos'ed that.
France syii'ititlitie'd to let us go on in our increasing

those Who thianght as he did, may be branded
as men of -blood, but a Surgeon may recom-
mend, in some desperate cases, an amputation.—
This advice may be seconded by a sympathetic
friend, a tender father, and affe.dionate mother ;
yet upOn similar principles they may be reproached as cruel
monsters, and scam: person exclaim, " There is the unnatural
mother who hots the limb of her child; that barbarous,
unfeeling surg'con is'in the act of Cutting it ow." In pro-
clueing War, Revolutions acted like those tire-works, which,
in their explo,i;in in the air throw out twenty or thirty
others ; and the supporters of the present' system palliate
the condua of ol:r rivals, by giving to their proceedings
