THE-day. is at length happily arrived, when the
great and final discussion on the Definitive Treaty
is to take place. We entertain not the smallest
doubi, but that a most complete and wisfaaory
Answer -will be given by His Majesty's- Minis'.
ten to every Argument that has bee* with so
much irregularity and aaivity, pressed forward
against the Treaty, with the undisguised objea
of making an impression on the Public Mind, which
Ministers have been debarred from obviating by
every consideration of propriety and prudence.-
For the course that has been taken by Opposition
on this occasion, we know of no precedent. It may
.be Parliamentary ; but it is very extraordinary. If
Papers were to be moved for, why might not they
all have been m6ved for at once, immediately on the
arrival of the Ratification I Why, when they have
been moved for, piece-meal, was it found right to go
into a long discussion on the necessity of the Imo-
duaion of those, which GoVernment made no ob-
._
jeaion whatever to produce ? Why, when these
separate Motions have been made for Papers re-
lating.to specifie.objeas, has a general discussion
of the whole Treaty been almost uniformly entered
into ? The motive for all this is obvious ! and
Ministers have properly preferred risquing any un-
favourable impression being olade on the public mind
by this proCeeding, rather than -give a sanaion to
such irregularity, confident that when the proper
day for ir general discussion arrived, any such im.
pression might and could be easily effaced:
. We do not charge the new Opposition with any
thing fallions, in the line which they have thought
proper to pursue. We do not charge them with
a wish .to embroil this Country in a renewal
of the War with Trance, however desirable to
Great Btitain they may think such a renewPl
would be. We willingly leave their condua and
their motives to the 'observation and interpreta-
tion of, a -discerning Public, whose sober reflec-
tion and sound judgment have ever yet :been found
proof against the violence of Declaimers, wherever
they have been to be found. S,o-long as this shall be the
case, we may contemplate, with no small degree of
confidence, the prospea of a long continuance'of the
blessing which we now enjoy, in the wisdom of the
Government which accomplished it, of the Legisla-
ture which shall sanaion it, and in the good sense
and gratitude of the People which shall approve
and applaud it.
