imputed for the disposition of our Naval Force, and
he wished to hear • those charges denied: It
was s'aid,' that our Cruizers had been more in-
tent on taking prizes, than watching the mo.-
tions of our Enemy. He wished that the Ad-
miralty would confute, these statentehts. He was
clearly of opinion that Ministers ought not to have
that confidence which they demanded. All. the world
kriew what squabbles there existed in the Cabiot;
ancLwhile we were discussing who should come* in
and who go out, BONAPAUTE was parading unin-
terrupted throughout Italy, the Rochefort Squadron
had 'plundered our West India possessions; and aria-%
Fleet, had sailed nobody knew whither., He con-
cluded by declaring that he should vote far .the
Amendment.

• Lord -CAMDEN stated, that since May, 1804,
we had increased our Navy beyond all farmer prteee
cedent, and that 17 Sail of the Line more
,were
shortly coming forward; that with- respeCt to.our 1
Military Force, we had. 3000 Troops more than we I
had of the highest period during the last Ware
• Lord DARNLEY agreed that the IVlinietry had
riot entitled themselves .th the confidenee-orPaflitie
meat, -and, therefore, lie should oppose_ the original'
Motion, and support the Amendment.
,Lord WESTMORLAND supported the Motion,
;and argued it Was a good proof of the great care
which had been taken to. protect the West India
Islands,, that when' the Rochefort Squadron arrived
• there, they could make no permanent hupression
,on
any one

jeitian to agree in a 'Vote which should pledge the

of exigency, but he considered the Vote of to-night
AS: a, Vote of Credit to an extraordinary extent. Why
this sum .should be voted was what Parliament ought `
tOltrlow, for it
,was not usual to keep Parliameat in
ignorance as to the state of Or Alliances.
• ...Lord,llAlt,flOWlil:'defended the Motion, on the
ground that it was the usual
,I)arliamentary course at
the cicise of every'Scssion to pass a Vote of Credit.
Lord.SlDMOVfili observed, that it Irad always
been the ;praetice at the dose of every Session of
Parliameitt -during a War, , tb pass a, Vote of Credit
for the supply of unforeseen contingencies, and that
it fad the mode adopted on 'the present occasion
was The feeoSt respeeiful that could be adopted towards

• Of'Credit:. •
A His..-Lard.4l4 .next adverted to the
Treaty of miens, Which he said was concluded
with a view be the general interests. of Europe, and
particularly with a eleV., to. give the Continent the
beet • chaucti' 'iif rousing:its:fallen energies. And
although'. that:treaty had been most •scrupnlon3iy
adhered • to 'on. our part, yet liathit not been for the
• interval 'of 'Peace ,it affarciecl, 'and which exhibited
the true charaCter'of France, we. should never have
witnessed thole energies which this Country had Since
evinced, and NVllich did' not exist before that Treaty.
Unfortunately befdre that-period the people of this
Country were carried away by a too ardent desire for
Peace, without 'duly, considering whether it was to
he obtained-upon" stable and permanent grounds. The
interval afforded by that Treaty had sliewn them the
delusion of their hopes, and they afterwards came,
forward witha zeal and energy, which; but for that
couviCtion, they-never would have expressed. In
25 months We had doubled the amount of the Whole
-interest of our capital debt—we had added 20 'mil-
lions to the resources of the Country. Why had the
People of England borne this increase of but-then,
not, only without Murmuring, but with cheerfulness,
hut because they were convinced of the leeesiiity
of the War, which^ before the, 'Treaty of AMiens
they were not convinced of ? A great deal had been
Said by Noble' Lords en the -other side- on the in-
. sufficiency of our 'Naval and Military. Forees.. In
six, months after the War we had '98,000 Infantry,
20,000 Cavalry, 00,000 Militia, and 400,000 Vo-
lunteers. With respea to the amount and distribu-
tion of the-Navy, he was Unacquainted, but he had
not the least-doubt but that equal zeal, energy, and
effect, had been produced in that department. He
considered that these proofs, warranted the -demand
of confidence made by .A.dmiuistratioe, Viand suffiCient
ground for,supporting the original mcition. ' •
Lard HOLLAND, in a-very long and able
speech, reviewed the whole proceedings of the War.
He insisted that, it was founded on an infraaion of '
the Treaty of Amiens, and 'that it was supported by
a,statement founded in falsehood. Be believed the
,Continent wished for Peace,' and that they had an
abhorrence of those who wished to rekindle the
flames of War. Be considered the situation of the
Country so critical, that the House ought to be at
its .post and concluded by giving his assent to the
Aniendment, •

'Lord C.VgYSVORT explained.
Lard GRENYILLE said, 'he could not Possibly
6hsent to the disposal of so large a sum as that,
. without ascertaining whether there WAS'a
1, reasonable probability of .the prof stet objeti being
attained. He contended, in pointed terms, the
'Treaty a Amiens) which, he said, had' sown the
seeds of our present misfortune in so prolific a soil,
that,it Was impossible that the most poisonous fruits
should not have eerown froni them. The men who
concl=uded that ••I'reary formed at present a pert of
Ills,
.Majesty's Council, from such men we COIN
not reasonably look for a remedy for 04 presot
embarrassed situation. He then &Iverted to the
disunion which at present prevailed in the Cabinet,
This, K6'said, was so notorious, drat it WM iMpaS-
W)le to wall:' the Streets without hearing the fit}
publicly asserted and; under such circinnstalleo,
it lieltoVed their Lordships to call for an explareatioe
of the idled situation tit the Country. If a c.+900-

. . .
.nental Co-operation conkd be obtained,- he was ready.
to admit that it weiuld be very; desirable . and
even if- that objea could not be attained; he Shcauld.
consider it desirable that Russia should be made the
mediator, in order to skew to. the world that the
. cause in which WO were engaged was just. The
Treaty of Amiens had 'pliced. the. Country iii snot'
an unfortunate situation, that it was agreed, on all
hands, that nothing was left to rescue us from its
evils but the recurrence Of war; and the men Who
Concluded that Treaty lie conceived to be, the, most
unfit of any upon earth to be entrusted with`the
conduct of our affairs in, a moment like the prest-nt,
when We were in treaty with. Areign Powers for
the purpose of extricating the Country front the
evils to which their. former measures had snbje&ed
us. By them the Continent had been abandoned.,
and it was not by •them.that we could hopc.: to re-.
gain the confidence of those whom we had so ire-
pro:len-fly deserted. , He admitted that the Force of
the Country was very formidable, and with proper
management did not despair of our corning:honour-.
ably out of the present contest. On the.. whole, he
...perfealy:ligtved with the 'MoVer of: the Amend-.
meat, and should of Course give his hearty assent to
hi 4 Motion.

The LORD CHANCELLOR vindicated the
Treaty of Amiens, which, he said, eriabledus to as-
certain the perfidious views of the Fateniy ; and ex-
pressed' his surprise that the adviseri of the Negotiar
-lion of Lisle should disapprove. of the terms. of ,the
Treaty of Amiens. He thought it very, unreason.
able to call for the revealment of the whole of :he
secrets of Government pending a Negotiation; and
net less extraordinary that a whole Admin:lstration
should be censured because the condu4 of a part of
it had been disapproved.. , .
The Earl of CARLISLE explained, that the whole
secrets of Go vnunent were by no means called lvr:
all that was wanted being the necessary inforntation
'to enable the House to judge of the propriefy of the
present measures of Ministers.
A.Lord GRENVILLE also explained. He fiat mean
tfe convey a censure upon the whole of the Members
of Administration ; but such Of them as' had con-
cluded the disadvautageous Treaty. of Amiens.—
With respe& to the Right Hon. Gentleman at the
head Of Administration, he still retained, and he had
no.cloubt always should, the high sentiments he had
fernierty .expressed of his talents and charataer,
c'qlw lAiltD CHANCELLOR said a few words ih ex-
