the
r, 'are some parts of the late Chancellor of

_in my opinion,

nirve.patticelar commendation. In the first place, ,
the
.mention that energy with which lie roused,
titthepirit of the Country to repel the dangers which
Prosre,,d around it. When others- sunk under. the
and I_.'ct of tile. evils which threatened us, his firm
to
otesolute co gave new courage and energy
own'eConntry, and raised, it to a level with his
to tiny. mind. The merit which ranks next
Publics' tia-n.kendant one, is the disinterestedness and ,
ad, Virit with which he looked forward to the
tq thntage, the relief, the prosperity of future ages,.
• e regulations which he introduced- into the.
than `e's• and the plans which he formed. for the dis-
lizit,!!,°f the burdens of the people. Instead of that..
e haswiyiy of temporary expedients with which
d. user,. ct.
qt was narged, I am of opinion that his con-
. Ptoue of ireEtly the reverse ; and its being so is •a
'there , the highest integrity and political wisdom.
rns•n,s is anotherpart 'the Right Hon. Gentle-
tnits,i(C)"duft which I dwell on with particular.ad-
'tner„, 11. • When it was necessary to 'call forth the
9I thlt' eonntry. in its own defence, he did r. so-
-
a Z 1 and hitteoidity beyond all praise ;.when

again the County eriewed a ii;tsh'to't "Viitce,7A ;rifts
as-ready to comply with its Wishes': 'When a PeaCe
had been concluded by other MiniSterS, after he
himself had retired froni oEice, being Convinced that
the Nation wished for Peice, and thitt the terms of
-the Peace Were adraniageoils to the Country, he
came forward to support that Pea Ce. His magnani- .
miry in , so doing is unparalleled ; in thiS 'cbn-
duet he stands almost unrivalled and alone.
This magnaniMity appears in his whole con_
dui during the War: He knew that' the Coun-
try was powerful, but he knew also that it was
free. He did not therefore madly oppose its wishes
for Peace ; •but as soon as those-were manifested, he
made overtures to that purpose ; and when those
overtures failed,, he again roused; the energy of the
Country to compel the Enemy to grant us honour-
able terms. These rherits of my Right Hon. Friend
are known and allowed by all ; the United voice of
the Country has proclaimed them aloud. With re-
gard to the motives which induced him to retire
from office, they do not fall under thepresent dis-
cussion ; but that they •were' honourable and
patriotic,- let me appeal to. the •voluntary Sup-
port he has given to the honourable and pa-
triotic men who have succeeded him. If they
wish to secure the approbation of their Coun-
try as he has done; let them pursue his steps ; let
them tail forth the energies of the Country in the
arts' of-Peace, as he did ill the petils of War. I can.
not colielnde this speech without observing on what
has been said with regard to my Right Hon. Friend's
cOndu& before the War: The accusation, so often
refuted, has been renewed, and he is again charged
with being the author- of the War. I shall 'only
repeat in answer,' what I have-often stated, that I
am convinced that he was- not the author-of the War.
1-fis whole 'previous system of Policy is an irrefra-
gable confutation of this charge: His .systern of
Finance, the grind measure of his Administration,
could only be pursued 'in times of tranquillity. The
mention "of Finance reminds me of another -great
merit of this illustriotk Stateintan: His .financial,
talents are allowed by every one; and they are such
its call for universal admiration. When he had riA-
toted a plan for easing the burdens of the People in
the hour of Peace, he was suddenly called to pro-
vide resources fin' a dangero and bloody War.
To the latter object lie accordingly turned his at-'
tention, and by his unrivalled financial talents shiny--
ed the .Nation hoW to bear and to flourish under
circumstances which almost every one else looked
upon as altogether insupportable. Such, therefore,
being the merits of this great. man, and such being
the beneficial consequences- Lich have resulted from
the coni;luel of the -late Adminisiration, I conclude
with giving my most hearty consent to the Amend-
ment of my Noble Friend. •

Sir ROBERT PEEL said, be hoped the House •
would pardon him, if he entered at some length
into a part of the subject which he -thought
had not been sufficienrly attended to have the
honour, he said, to be- a - Member of the Com_
mercial World ; and have had occasion to trap_
salt with the late Chancellor of the Exchequer,
business of great difficulty and importance From
personal knowledge, I am therefore enabled to
state, that no Minister ever understood so welt,
the Comrriercial Interests of the Country. He knew;
that the true sources of its greatness, lay in its pro-
duftive industry, and he therefore encouraged that
industry. Circumstances obliged him to lay bur.
.thens on the Country, but he had first taught the
Country how to bear.these burthens. Large Debts
were..indeed, contraded, but they were more than
equalled. by the increase of wealth arising from.
his wise measures. It is not unusual. for a Coun.
.try to flourish in Peace; but where is there another
Minister to be fcund, under whose uspiees the re-
sources Of his Country had been doubled in the.
Midst of an expensive • and vigorous War ? Debts
have been, contraeted ; but they ate ail domestic
debts, and .the interest is spent among ourselves.
Whatever may be said of our burdens, it is evident to
all, that the Country; under their pressure, is more
fiourishing that at any former period.. Many things
have.: been urged to spew the evils. arising from our
Paper Money ; but .I will venture to;assert.,, that no
issue of Paper Money has beeitruade.mhich we have
not Funds to support ; unlikend?:neighbohi ing Coun-
try; which. issued Paper MOlney -till lts yllue was de-
reCiated ,almost to . nothing.—Sir RasERT then
adverted to Mr. :Pyrr's political measures. .He
said, that he had been blamed for the :support he
had given them ; but he was convinced that it was
the duty of the Comtnercial World to support every
Administration, ,till 'they had aftitally rendered
themselves unworthy of public confidence. Hesaid,
that he himself had at first doubted of the propriety-
of. the vigorous measures adopted by the late Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer ; ,but experience had con-
vinced him of their wisdom. ,He then made a few
observations, on the applicaticin of the Unclaimed
Dividends to the purposes of Government,' on the
Suspension of the Habeas.. Corpus Aft, and on the
Bank Restriftion ; measures which had at first given
him some apprehensions, but which had not been
attended with any ill consequences whatever:—,,
" I believe," continued he, " I believe that to
the measures of the late Chancellor of the Exehe.
quer, .1 owe the liberty of delivering my sentiments
at present in this House ; that to, him I owe the
p6isession of that wealth and rise in the world which
my industry has acquired. Ido not spell k,solely of my.
self; the same may be said of every individual whose
industry has succeeded under his proteftion. Fie
has been the benefaftor of his country; he has.ne-
gieded no one's interest but his own. It has in-
deed been said, that though he did not enrich him-
self, he secured his infinence by bestowing pensions
and titles on others. But , had, Ret;,occasion to,
have recourse _to such arts; he haky,fured suffici.
ent support by honourable measuresu; three parts of
the House, who were incapable of being bribed,
.were his.friends. When such is the case, it is my
opinion that the House should not content 'themselves
with a bare vote of:thanks, but bestow on him
some more solid 'mark of their approbation. It
would be disgraceful. 19 the Nation to ,allow such a
man to retire to latiguish.in, poverty. 1 for one
would beshappy to contribute to prevent this ; not
ftom any personal motives,
,for I. have. not the ho-
hour of being acquainted .with the Rigkt Hon. Gen-
tleman, but on..account of the great,and important
services which'he has..tenticred his country."

Mr. GREY said, 1' Whether I consider the ge.'
neral topics of this -debat'e, or the Merits of the
individual to whom almost the whole praises and
panegyrics of the 'Hon. Gentlemen on the oppdsite
side of the House haVe been direaed; I cannot te-
frain froin eXpresSing ity decided disapprobation 'of
the Amendhaenta which haie been offered to the ori-
ginal MotiOn of my Hon. Friend (Mr. Nr Cricie es).
The Hon. Gentlemen who have opposed this Motion
have Confined themselv6 to vague and general eia-
logium, withotit condescending to those, ptrticular
facts which must be considered, before we proceed
to sanaion AinendmentS whicli insult the feelings
of a Nation, by the eulogium of the man.who caused
the Miseries under which she now groans..
atpretent confine my observations to the Amend:.
meta of the Noble Lord. .1 must repeat my re-,
gret that he has nut taken a Mme Parliamen.
nary method to introduce The Motion of.
My Honourable Friend should have first been dis.
posed of, and' then the Noble Lord might, in
the customary manner, have introduced his Mo-
tion: ',Serting the Question of Order aside, how_
ever, I do not hesitate to own, that in some paid-
culars I 'completely assent to the Noble Lord's
Amendment. That part which states the meritori-
ous services .of Our Arrriy and Navy, must be ap._
proved. by every lover, of his Country. Our Army
and Navy have by their valour exalted the glory of
the Nation ; atadT if they ,have in any thing failed,
it is not to be iMputed to them, but to the illjudg-
ed plans of those' who sent them on ' ridiculous and
impraaicable depeditions. But .1 will appeal to the
Hoose, if it be proper to mingle the aCtions of 'our
brave Army and NaVy with the other parts of this
Motion ? But not only their glory has been
incorprirated into the praises of the late Ministers;
other topics Still more remote have been drawn*into
their .eulogibm. One has said, that His Majesty
ewes the (2i-6.Am he wears to the late Chancellor of
the 13xchequere But if His Majesty's-Crown "was
really in danger, which h by no means admit, was
there not -a numerous band.of other loyal Subjects,
*who would. have gathered round and secured its.
safety, 'independent of that Right Hon, Gearla„
man's efforts ? It has been said,- that . by his skill
the Vessel of the State has been enabled to rideout
the storm. , But is that a fact .?- Is -the storm in_
deed over; and the. Vessel moored in security ? Let
us compare the relative situation
.of France and.,
Great Britain, and then see if the assertion be well
'founded. Hia .very friends, whoshared with him in
the councils of'the War, deny that security has been
obtained* by the Peace. I ask then where are the .
boasted benefits he has bestowed on the country ?
.We are told that 4, we have gaited all that.we haVe
not lost." To mve that by contrary measures we
shoolld have lost any thing,- requires stronger 'tog!).
meats than have yet been offered to the House.' If
this argument be good, we should haVe been in 'the
greatest danger if •we had made Peace at an earlier
period, and before such oceans of human blood' had
been shed. But let it be proved that' we should
have incurred greater danger by making Peace
with France then, than now. We should then,- as
now, have made Peace with the French Republic.—
Was that Republic then more dangerous than it is
now ? Is Banaparte's government founded on Jaa
cobinism or 'is it not.? Let that be denied; still
who will 'assert that the danger which has been as-
serted to arise from' the example of such an usur-
pation doeS not: still ekist ?. But in faa, his go-
vernment rests7.'enr4oobinism, • the same foun-
dation on which it was!:,.originally laid. I 'reason
On the principles which Gentlemen held during
.the Ware and ingtdre what other line of conduct
would Robespierre, or any of the, other of the
French Governors have different' from
what Bonaparte maybe expeaed to pursue ? Would
not the freedom of the press, of public opinion, have
been suppressed by' them in the same manner, had
they once established themselves ? Any Jaeobin,
secured -in .powere mOuld have followed the same
course that Bonaparte has done ; and all the danger
of treating with a Jacobin, remains in treating with
him. ,An Hon. Gentleman-has declared, he.adheres
to his former opinion, that, this
.Country was not
the aggressor in this Wat. After what has been said
on this subjea, I shall only.'reply, that I still adhere
to my opinion, that it was. But allowihg, for argu-
ment's sake, that France Was the aggressor, the late
Minister seems to me. to deserve very little credit for
putting off the period of accommodation to the pre-
sent time. Will any one say, that we have now
.procured better terms, thah we could have demand-
ed when there -was an Austrian Army in the heart
of FFance ? Or who will, say that we might nor then
have procured better terms, ,and. the territories of
France at this 'day not have been so immense ? An
Hon. Gentleman has praised the late Minister for
his peculiar dexterity in seeking out proper occa-
,sions to treat. This I should have thought the last
eulogiumahat yould have been bestowed upon him.
:When .specesafolay lipollavpys refused to, treat ;, he

tions.. When the tide of success, again -turned
in favour of France, he again offered to treat : when
Austria was again viaorious, he again broke offthe
'Negotiations. -Was not this conduct contrary to all
experience, to all maxims of political wisdom ? and
.are we now called. upon to approve it.? The state

Mr. GREY then proCeeded to 'state c•Varions

He contended,' that our attack on the French West
India islands could hive no effect on the internal
licy Of France, bin by justifying the selfish policy
of Austria, had disgusted Prussia, and fhistrated'
the whole intention of the Confederacy. He then',
adverteduto the cessions the'w/y Made by the Oe-
finitivetreiny, which he Contended we were not in a
condition to 'resist. He then pointed ont 'several
errors which he said existed' in the late Chancellor
bf the Exchequer's boaSted System of Finance; and
concluded With allowing that Right: Hon:
deman's great tnl ;nts " but," said he, " these 41m.
lents, are rather, splendid than useful ; they have been.
employed rather to support bad rheavares that' to
promote useful ones; and consequently, however
great, they deserve censure rather, than praise."
I.6rd H A WEES EU RY he` rose to aniwer
some of the obsetvations which Were made- by the
Hon. Gentleman who had just SIC down; because in
severalThatts of his Speech that Hon. Gentleman_
had alluded,to him So'partieularlY,=that he felt him..
self called upon to rise at that period of the' rebate,.
to state, as shortly as he Could; the grounds on
which he could give his vote for the. Motion of hisk
Noble Friend. Pot before he. entered on the general
arguments of ' the Hon. Gentleman, he could not ,
help advertin7 to that •part f his Seeeth-Which're.,,
lated to his Noble Friend's-Making that Motion,
which Motion, he would assert, arose oul'of another'
Motion which had been made by'han }fon., Baronet
(Sir FR/Idlers BURDETT), nut then 'in his' place,'
who on that occasion moveil in substance, a Censure

such a"Motion `as that made by the Hop. Baronet;
and the Speech which preceded it,
.to.pasS over
with a 'mere negative; 'but to instituteParliamena,'
ary_proceeding, -stating the reverse of such I\ll.stion
and ,SpeethTpteceding it, which, could:net he-doni
without expressing the approbation of 'that Haase
of the conduit of his Right Hon. Friend and Col=
leagues throughont the arduous struggle in which'
they had
.been engaged. The Hon. Gentle?rian'
who lead just sat down, had adverted' to the 'sub_
jeer} of the War-which was just concluded ; he had
mixed with his observations upon that sobjea some'
comments upon the Treaty 'of Peace in the general
view of, things, it was perfeCpy fair for him so to do.
It was not his intention, however, to enter into the
detail of these arguments; he admittedite•was cotnpe.:.-
tent to the Hon. Gentleman to advert to the Peace just
concluded, the terms of which, under all the dr..
cumstances, ought to be satisfactory. -He admit red,
hovever, that the Hon. Gentleman hada right to'
denyhir, and to enter into an inouity'either into
the principle of the War, or thectinclua of tire War.
On the subjeti. oldie War, theHon.GcerticolhEn, how.:
ever,.and others who had taken the s ;rise ramie of ar..;
gument- on former occasions, had made a mistake in
the ghargler. of the War, and mode of eMkiderint'
it, namely., they had considered the contest which
we had just concluded, as !;,at of an ordinary War
which we were accustomed to ;"such as, a' War for
general principles of teat:anal intcrestHa general
balance of rower—or for the purpose of resisting
the aggrandizement of a rival . Power. It was
in no such !view, such a War as that we had
just, concluded„ ought' to be considered. He took
the, liberty of describing this War, as. letid:ng
.to bring about a "revolution' in the manners of
men, and as having its foundation in princ'inles to-
tally different from any other War in - which this or
any other Country _was ever engaged. It .was dif-
ferent in'its moral effect, as introducing principles'
which could not fail to be dreadful' to serroun.ding
Nations,, and • which principle, if not resisted,
threatened to overturn prirciples of every

otter Power in Europe. it Ut, the Hot. Gentleman,
though he did not much insist upon it, had asserted
that in this War we were the aggressors. He .would
not repeat what he had said on that subject, but he
would alledge, that by every party that had suc-
ceeded-in France, it had been acknowledged among
them all that France had been the aggressor. The
mode, in which it had been considered was obvious-
ly fallacious : he did not deny, -that in some of. the
Provisional Executive Governments there might be
some pet-ions,. desirous of avoiding a War with this
Country. He was indeed convinced there were
such persons, but all these persons thought, as well
as all persons now think, in that Country, that die
sririt cf a National Convention, in whom all ethe
'pci‘wer resided, and not in the Provisional Execu-
tive, had determined upon .a War with this Coun-
try, and it was impossible:for. any Provisional Exe-
cutive in France, with such a disposition in the
Convention, to prevent a War, or in any measure
to .avert that calamity. - He felt no difficulty in
saying there was_ no inconsistency in his conduct
upon this subjett, no subsequent condua of his, in
any share he had in the late Negotiation for Peace,
had subjected him to the imputation of any change
oh sentiment. The War arose from necessity, from
the principleS that were prevalent in France previous
to its commencement, disposed as Frlince manifest-
ed itself.to be, to receive 'the Seditious .of every
country, publishing as it had, principles utterly sub.
versive_ of all order, destru&ive of all property,,-of
all moral obligation, of every thing that-was dear
to man.; with such a Country, professing and pub.
lishing such principles, it was impossible to be long
at peace : the ,War was a calamity in such circurn;
stance's, that was unavoidable : it therefore was not-
only difficult, but impossible for this Country to avoid.
that calamity, without surrendering its own rights
and independence and Without being accessary to the
ruin of every Power in Europe. ' But, the Hon.
Gentleman asked, whether-the ground of argument,
on Jacobin'. principles, does .not now exist in the
same-force and degree against the' Government of
/France, as it did when this Country first opposedit
on that account ? ,To which he would answer, that
Jacobin principles not only did not exist in the same
fore& and degree; but, ir, the sway in which the
Rm. Gentleman stated, that matter, they did not
exist at all.. The Hon. Gentleman had asked, if
Jacobin principles did not give birth to the present
Government of France ? That was not the
mode of considering the question ; 'it was not
material. to consider_ what gave birth to the pre-
sent Government,—the question ;was to us, what
were its- professions now ? And in that respect-,
there has been a.c.omplete change in tile' Government ,
of 'France. The present, Government of France
has published .to the world a recantation of
every principle of Jacobinism, and of every other -
principle from which -danger was apprehended, in .
a manner as satiSfadory,-as far as profession could
be such, as the most sanguine friend of the war, or
the most decided enemy of Jacobin principles,
could desire. .However he might regret the fate-
of the House of Bourbon, without Considering
svheiher that House was likely to_ be restored or
nor in the. course of the war,-yet if it-had been for
il9thing4nore than a change of the Dynasty, the
contest would not have been carried on ; but the
Contest :here, was owing to the entire change of
principles upon, which, the Government. had been
earaietl on ; all principles of Established Govern-
ments had .heen.overturned„ and- it, would have '
been at . any time sufficient ground for other,
Countries to adopt measures for the resistance of ;
such principles, as being utterly- hostile to all Go- 1
Verurnent whatever, they being in their nature cal-
culated to_ overturn .all Constituted Authorities ;
and they had been declared incapable Of maintaining
peace and amity with other Powers, not because
they were a, Republic, but because they were a Go.
vernment, the like of .which never -before existed,
on which no Republic even was. ever formed, pro-
ceeding upon a, system that was truly subversive of
every maxim, and every rule of action that had hi-
therto been found to contribute to the happiness of
Mankind. He might be asked, .however,
.what he'
thought of the recantation v,hich had been made-of
those principles, and whether he thought they gave
evidence of .a, recurrence to ancient principle? To
which 2-e answered, he was aware that whatever
Would be the desire of persons in France, after such

a conclusion, it would.be impossible for them to set
up an establishment upon the best of models, for
they must take their materials as they found them.
In the mean time, he thought credit was due to, their
profession, as far as it ought to be respeCted by
Foreign Powers, for they had publicly asked,par_
don of God and Man, and done every thing they
could to revert to the ,antient established principles
of Government, and their measures, in every point
he had been able to view them, had that tendency.
thought it an important consideration.
with refer.ence to. this Peace, or to any Peace
that could be concluded, when some of the ob_

. .
jedions which had been started to the Peace, were
removed, and it was then a question, if no cre-
dit were to he given to these recantations, how
far it would be prudent in this Country to•drive
them again _to revolutionary measures, where they
must abandon the system which they had now
adopted, 'and proceed in the very same course

which rendered them incapable of maintaining
peace and amity with other Powers. He Was
now come to that part of the argument in which
the Hon.• Gentleman had asked, what period of
the War it was in which we might not have had
more advantageous terms of .Pt ace than the pre-
sent ? To which he again ~;,os.lvered, that he defied
the Hon. Gentleman to Slicw any period -WhateVer
from the commeneen;ent of the War to Jan. z 800, in
Which we had any chance whatever ofany Peace. The
Hon. Gentleman had complained that no proposition
came from us at any time for Peace, when we our..

selves, or our Allies, had been successfid ; that our
attempts at negotia.ing were always in the hdur of
Our distress. The Hon. Gentleman had forgotten
that a proposition to negotiate been made by his
Rt. Hoo. Friend, the late Chancellor of the Excite-

quer, at Basle, which Was at a period when the
Austrians hail been successful. He was not now
stating, whether Government was right or wrong
as to the terms which were insisted upon, but he'
was stating it, in answer to the 9' bjedions of the
Hon. Gentleman, tor thz. puiposs„of, Aviving thin
do Peace otAfti be 'made with kranceat that period.;

anki it was not a question of terms, but of principle,
which principle was, oa the part of France, to
make, no Peace at all ; and he bad no difficulty
in saying, that had there been no alteration in
that principle, it would have been impossible for
this Country to have succeeded in negoriating.in
any manner whatever. He then took a view of
the observations of the Honourable Geatleirnin
On the subjea-of the Negotiation in rBOO, and
maintained it was trot probable that we should
have had better terms at that time than the
.pre-
sent. The French being then in possession of va-,
rious.places which he enumerated, Genoa, Malta,
.Egypt,,SEC. and which they. afterwards lost by_ the
fare of War ; and observed also that- Austria and
Russia were at' that time wiliing to continue the
Confederacy and to prosecute the War; and he con.
tended there was at that time a chance of ipprov-
ing the condition of Europe by its continuance,
and. therefore it was prudent .in us to decline
the proposals ivhic`h were then/made, besides which,
it was to be remembered that France had gone on in
a ten years revolutionary career, and had ten Revo-
lutions in that time, so that there was no reliance
to beplaced on the stability of its Government.---
Having stated this much upon the circumstance of the
different Negotiations proposed at that period,be-
ing satisfied that the'VSTar arose out of the moral
effed of the French Revolution, that no human pru—
dence.could have prevented it ; being
.surethat from
the commencement of the War to January l'i4oo,
there never was an
,option given to this Country
as to War or Peace ; he would admit that in January
iBOO there was stated a different ground, but still
it did not follow, that it might not have been
prudent to prefer the chances of War to the chances
of Peace'. He shnuld now come, in its order, to
consider, the conduEt of the War ; but before he did
that, he would say a few words on the observations
which the Honourable Gentleman had made on the
Definitive Treaty of Peace. He would not- go at
large into the arguments upon that aubjed, partly
because it did not ;necessarily form a part of the
real question
.now before the House, and partly
because there would soon .be afforded another op.
portunityof discussing. that topic. He certainly felt
that, . upon that subjeet,, there was not the satisface
tion, or the security to-'Europe that could have
been wished, or might have been once expeaed ;
but it did not thence follow, that any blame was
-imputable to the late Ministers for their condua in
the management. of the War ; nor did •it follow,
there, was any blame imputable to. the present Mi-
nisters for the conclusion of Peace. The question
of War orPeace, could only be decided by looking
at the alternative of Peace or War, by looking at
the advantages and disadvantages of both, for there
were advantages and disadVantages to both, and
making achoice between them n and he did think,
that whatever might be the security of Europe at
this time, there was, at the time of making Peace, no
chance whatever of Europe being placed in a better
stare of security, by 'this Country refusing to make
Peace. He thought the Peace, under all crrcumstan-
ces, wise, not only ;or our own security, but for the
security of the rest of Europe ; for it was the iii-
tersst of all Europe, that we• should husband our
resources and keep ourselves entire, and not to
waste our strength, upon that pursuit 'which, under
all circumstances of the contest, was not likely to
be very useful, either to Great Britain or the rest
of Europe in general. He thought the state' of Eu-
rope was not - so secure as could have been desired ;
but when he came to think of the advantages and dis-
advantages of Peace and War, and compared them
together, there was not much room for-doubt re-
maining with-him as. to,the course which this Coun-
try. ought to pursue. He .was, however, willing
to admit tthere was uncertainty in all opinions re_
spewing future events—human opinions of the
tune, deserved no better title than conjeaute ; the
best formed of them frequently turned out- to be ill-
founded. Hd had seen, when Peace was talked'of-as
bleasing likely to be enjoyed for many years, War
!)roke out ola-sudden. And when States were threat-
ened with- a long continuance of the .calamity
of War, Peace was brought -about ; and he had read
in history, of instances, when War was -thought to
be inevitable, a long and uninterrupted Peace was
enjoyed. He was not stating -thiseby• way of en.
deavour to diminish the comfort of the prospect -of
security to a Nation for the continuance of peace,
nor to say that the thing was not always-matter of
great consideration. On the-contrary,-he thought it
a thing which we could never forget, and it was an
°Ned which we ought never to lose/sight of in the
consideration of Peace and War. The use-which he
intended to make of it was, only to remind the
House how very inconclusive all reasoning of this
kind must in its nature be. Now, -as :to the other
part of the observations of the Hon. Gentleman, on
what he had said on the relative or comparative si-
tuation of this Country and France,he would not enter
into itate.;aege at present. He was prepared however,
to maintain, that-there never wasa period inavhich the
IVlaritime and Commercial strength,- the. Colonial
strength of Great Britain, when compared with- that
of France, was so great as it was at the present mo-
ment ; nor was there ever a periodin the history
of the two Countries, when the means of increasing
all these Powers were in so advantageous a condi-
tion to Great Britain, and Sq much superior to that
of France, as at the present moment. This he only
asserted now, professing, as he felt, a readiness to
argue it hereafter. The Hon.. Gentleman had then

gone into the conduit of the War, and he had enu_

me rated what he considered failures, and certainly
some events' deserved that name, for certain Expe-
ditions had failed of their intended obje&s, in the
course of the present War. That they had done so,
neither he nor the Hon. Baronet, who had spoken on
the same • side (Sir H. MLLDMAY), attempted to
deny : but when Expeditions were undertaken, they
must be so under considerations of success and of

failure; for among the wisest Expeditions that were
ever yet attempted, howeve.t skilfully they may have
been devised, whatever knowledge, or whatever va-
lour there may have been found in the Officers who

were to execute them, and whatever readineis there

may have been in .the Troops to obey orders, still
there must be some, nay many failure;; but he would
say, that as far as regarded the separate conduct. of
this. Country, there never was a War which was
more eminer* successful; there never was a War'
in whichmore was acquired by us,---and what was
acquired, contributed more to the credit Of_thc

trakittt of our-Fleets and Armies.; or gave a better,
proof of. wisdoin in Council' than the present ,War
exhibited.—He believed that this was the first War
in which Aio British Colony had been wrested from
the British Crown—where we were so triumphant
in the West and in the East,—in the Mediterranean
every quarter where the British force had been
separately employed—in all which the British force
had been eminently, and in every instance successful ;
and he contended it was impossible for the House to
consider of these things, without not only admir-
ing the skill and valour of the British Force, bet with-
out also paying a tribute of praise to the wisdorn of
the council by which they were devised. To say,
that there had been no failure in any plan, Was/What
he had no intention to: do—No man ever could as-
sert such tithing of any War ; still less was it to be
expeded in 'this War, which was, on many
_ac-
counts, the most extraordinary War the world ever
saw—But what he insisted upon. was this, That if
we looked at the result of the efforts of British
Force, when separately exerted, there never was a
War so brilliant as this had been to Great Britain.
As to the other Powers, he should not at present
say much ; but if the condua of any Administra-
tion was to be tried in the course of a great War,
it was not fair to try them on those exertions which
they had not the whole condua of themselves, but in
'hich their efforts were in con.innaion with others,
and where, from the very nature of the thing, they'
'had only a subordinate_, part to perform : and yet,
it would appear, that even in this view of the mat-
ter, if other Powers had been as true to themselves,
as we had been to ourselves and to them, -there
would have been less failure than there had been,
and no fault was to be imputed to the Government
of this Country on that account. The Hon. Gen_
tleman had adverted to the financial state of the
Country in the course of ..the present Wid, and to
the conduit of his Right Hon. Friend, in that part of
the War in which he sholild have expefted he would
have !net with the approbation of every man in this
Country, that of adhering to the system which
had been adopted for the reduaion of the National
Debt, The Hon: Gentleman had said, that by this
War, the National Debt had been doubled—that
might be true; but AN National Debt had been
doubled by every War since the *Revolution, But
when the nature of that Debt, 'and of the Taxes
laid on, was considered, there would be found no
blame imputable to his Right Hon. Friend ; unless
they could shew that the War could have been con-
cluded with less expence than it had been; on the con,.
trary, he considered this a proof of the merit of his
Right Hon. Friend, not because the debt was so great,
tlyiki was matter of regret to him and to every body,
but because the burthens 'to support this debt. had
been so laid on, as to aired in so.slight a degree only,
the comtnerce, the -.prosperity, the comfot t,- and. the
_domestic happiness of the people of this country. He
did not mean to say that burthens
,were imposed
without affeCting, in some degree the domestic hap.:'
piness of the people of the Country, that would be
impossible, but he said they had been laid in such a
manner, as that no person beforehand could have
conceived to be possible, and for which reason he
would undertake to say his Right Hon. Friend de_
served praise instead of censore, upon this occasion.
It should never' be' forgotten, that there was a pro-
digious difference between this Country and France;
he had indeed always thought there was a great dif-
ference between a country ailing under a Revolu-
tionary Government, and One that aced . upon
regular and established principles ; 'and that in a con-
test, the advantage, in the way of finance, was
greatly in favour of that country which wad aaing,
under a revolutionary government, while the con-
test lasted ; because a revolutionary government had
no rules to check its career in the way of property,'
they laid hold of it wherever they found it ; whereas
a regular government must regard property as sa-
cred, and would touch only according to the rules of
Jaw ; and in doing- this, and at the same time pay-
ing large sums sufficient to support such a contest,
without materially affeaing the happiness of
,the
community, was a task which required very great
and very rare talents. It was indeed that wherein
the excellence of a Minister chiefly consisted. His
Right Honourable Friend had done this, and for
which his 'talents must be admired, and the manner
in which he had exerted himself was a fit objeft of
praise. With regard to that part of -the Ho-
nourable Gentleman's speech which related to the
Sinking Fund, he confessed himself to be surprized
that heshould have endeavoured to'detraft from the
merit of his Right Hon. Friend in that particular.
The plan for that purpose was wise, but it. was not
the wisdom of the plan that !testi much admired,
although that was great, as the determination to
persevere in it under all the circumstances of the
most extraordinary War, which was indeed an ad-
mirable perseverance.
-If this plan had been adopted soon after the period when
our National Debt commenced, and persevered in as his Right
Hon. Friend had done in this, we should at the comrnence-
ment of each War have had little or no Debt upon our hands.
Let Gentlemen consider what was the situation of this Cowl--
try. arthe American War, how we had not only a Debt in-
creasing, without hope of fedudion, but which of itself
tended to diminish our capacity to bear our other burthens,
and was the' subjed .of observation in 'other Countries
who wished to see our prosperity diminished ;
.but his
Right Hon-. Friend had the merit of adopting, and the
still greater merit of adhering to the system by which the
whole Debt now standing against us, will be annihilated in
half the time it had been accumulating, from its commence-
ment to the present time. This, under all the circumstances
of the last most extraordinary War, he considered as very
-extraordinary merit in his Right Honourable Friend.—
There were some other points on which it was impossible
for him not to say a few words, because they were points,
the consideration of which gave a strong inducement to him
to agree to the Motion made by his Noble Friend ; he meant
chiefly the means adopted for the internal security df this
Country.—Now, whether the War was necessary or not, was
a question which he need not now argue, it had been often
decided by that-House; arid he believed that at this moment,
not nine-tenths of that House, but also of this Country, were
not only,of opinion, that the War was just an4necessary, but
also that the internal 'Peaee of the Country would not have
been preserved, nor could we have been able to contend
with the difficulties which . the French Revolution imposed
on us, it' these measures had not 'been adopted. No man
regretted those measures, or rather the necessity of them,
more than -he did, for he- should always regret the ne-
cessity of laying any restriction on Liberty as it had been re-
cognised by our anctent Constitution ; but it was the praeti-.
cal excellence of our Constitution, that it had the means of
applying temperate remedies for evils as they arose, and-that
was one reason why we had in reality so much liberty irtge-
neral. A country which did not possess the power of mak-
ing temporary restraints on Liberty, it was impossible to
have much of it at any time, because whenever a State be-
came endangered, by the excess of -Liberty, withoul the
means of. checkhrg that excess,' such a State must be over-
turned ; 'but a.poWer of checking it on an emergency enabled
`us to have Liberty to its utmost extent at other periods.--
It was ovvit% to this, that provision had been made' to

check. ties irit of raeobinisrli in this Country ;
