them which, were, not realized, be dissented from
the whole of that observatiOn ; and be thought
there was no necessity far making any particular
promises to English Sailors, beyond that of pi►ying
them at the usual rate, and of giving them the
usual -ttearment, which,' by the way, was the best
Ireatinent that any sailors ever had in this world,
and what was much better than. any opinion upon
it, the sailors themselves were satisfied with it.
In short., 40 tell an English Sailor that he was
called upon to fight for his King and Country
.was enough -for' him. The spirit of the Eng.
lists Sailor was that of a determination to fight in
his Country's cause, and. to subdue his Country's
enemy. That spirit was not cherished by the
speech of the Honourable Baronet, either by his
speech at the Crown and Anchor on Friday last, or
by his explanation of that Speech this day, after the
full opportunity which had been afforded to the
Honourable Baronet for that purpose. It therefore
-behoved the Electors of Middlesex to shew the
sense they entertained of such sentiments, for which
reason he moved, that -Mr. BYNG be requested to
;qtend the Sheriffs: to present this Address to His
Majesty.
Mr. NARE3 made an' able speech in support of
this amendment, and took occasion to express Isis
indignation at the kentiments and political conduct
of the honourable Baronet.

Sir FRANCts, BURDETT contended, that • what
he said on a •foriner occasion 'upon the Sub.
jeft of inducement to sailors, had been misrepre-
sented by some, and misunderstood by others.
What he had said was in the nature of general
reasoning: which was, that where we expetted great
exertions in a great Empire like ours, there ought
to be held I rth corresponding motives to such
exertions. He did not hold out that any boon
ought to be offered to the sailors, but that with.
out strong motives they could not be expeCted to
tia. He had only said, that if Government would
have recourse to the measures he recommended, we
should have the best of all possible securitiesi but
still men must have some motive.—Here the con.
versation became too general and diffuse to be re.
ported.
A Gentleman observed, that the Honourable
Baronet' had alluded to the discontent which had
lately been manifested in that Country : 'he wished
'to know Whether the Honourable Baronet knew of
the existence of 'any such discontent in any part of
this Country ? or of any circtunstances that had
any tendency to that effect ?

Sir F. HURDETT said, he knew of no circtini.
stances of that kind, hut he did know there-existed
in this Country some things that did excite dis.
content.

Here the impatience became so great and the
uproar so general, that the Sheriff was induced to
desire that order might be preserved, whatever
might be the feeling of Gentlemen upon some words
which excited their-disapprobation. •
Mr. TR Av v its observed that the worthy Baronet
had -stated it was his wish not to un.nerve the Coun.
try at this moment. He had, however, intimated
an, opinion that there were certain Meets in our
Government—Good God 1 What could be the use
of using at this m.unent. that proposition. What
!MWn institution was ever yet retied What
woelid be the use of agitating at this time quesrituir
on which opinions most be very much divided ?
The quo-tioii now was, whether the present was a
proper time to agitate matters of this sort ? He
was of opinion vie ought not to do, or to say any
thing that might distract the attention of the Ad-
ministration from the great and weighty matter
now before it. He had considered the condud of
the Honourable ILronet now, and on last Friday,
and he disapproved 4 f it he would go further and
say, he was c6nviuced that if the Hon. Baronet
would look back coolly on• the transactions of Fri.
day last, and rtfl--et o'n his own conduit, he would
see much to lament. Would he wish deilberately
to advise Sailors and Soldiers, and all the People of
this Country to stipulate that they shall exert them.
selves in saving it, upon condition of having a Par.
liamentary Reform, of having a full and adequate
Representation in Parliament ? That the Sailors,
the Soldiers, and the People, were to say this to the
present Constituted Authorities, •oif yon will
!igree to that, then we will defend the Country."
Now he had no difECulty in saying, that whatever
Opinion, might be entertained upon these topics,
this was not the time for discussing them. We
should not divert Administration from the. pursuit
of the great objed now before us t on the contrary,
to assist them in that pursuit appeared to him to be
the duty of every individual in this Country.
The question being put, " that Mr. Ditto do
attend the Sheriff to present the Address to the

Mr. BYNt3 said, that ever since he had had the
honour of being the representative of this County
in Parliament, he had always done his duty • With
great satisladion to himself, even 'upon` subjeaS in
which there was great variety of opinion ; but how
much greater was his satisfattion on this day,
when nothing but .unanimity should prevail, or
did prevail on this occasion. He should be
pardoned for adverting to himself, because .it
became, in some measure necessary, from- the
turn which this discussion had • taken. He
had pasoed the greater part- of his public life In op.
position to His Majesty's Ministers ; and from the
nature of his mittd and bent of his education, it was
probable lie should pass the remainder of his life,
much in the same manner, that was•to say, that he
should always have an aetive and • e yen jealous eye on
all Ministers whatever ; hut on this occasion, even
he who had all-his life-time been in opposition, did
think all opposition to His Majesty's Ministers
should cease ; that all party
motive and spirit
whatever should be ext inguished, and that we should
all unite in thOtommon defence of the Country—ii
any weight could be attached to any sentiment. of
his, that weight could only be derived -from
its being consottant to the feeling of the
