the Member for the West Riding. Among the various
debaters on the subject,
none appeared to state the ob-

It amounted to a proposal, that the Secretary for
Foreign Affairs should say to the French Govern-
lent, " The two countries are maintaining thirty sail of
the line each, to watch one another. Does it not seem
possible that twenty would do?" The Foreign Secretary
gave his adherence to the principle, but declined bind-
ing himself by terms; and so the motion was not
pressed to a division. On the whole, the result cannot
be censidered otherwise than as favourable to the object
of the mover.
I am, Sir,
