the Continent of Europe but we have never yet
heard so monstrous a prcposition, 33 that we have
no right to maintain those Powers in possession of
our own Conquests, in whose hands we have thought
fit to place them.—lf it were otherwise, it would
have been a faree, at the Treaty of Amiens to have
Ceded any Conquest except to France—but the dis.
tinflion of a Cession to France, or to Holland or
Spain, was relied upon by the French Negotiators

themselves, and relied upon alto, and with great
Propiiety, by His Majesty's Ministers, in their
justification of the terms and conditions of the
'Peace.

In the event of War, and whenever the subjeft
U fully discussed, we have no fear on whom will
:rest, in the opinion of every impartial man, the
breach of the Treat) of 41rnions. Any insinuation
that Ministers have taken advantage of the absence
of the French Army employed on the Expedition
.
to St. Doitsingo, to enforce pretensions which they
Would not otherwise have urged, will be completely
disproved whenever a full disclosure takes place of
the circumstances which have led to the present
crisis. In the mean time we call upon the,People
fir, that confidence in His Majesty's Ministers which
4 Pending 244:illation demands-;..We call 'upon
them to withhold their judgment, not to condemn
Ministers unheard ; and when the time arrives fur
entering upon a full explanation of their whole con.
eklet, if. that condutl has been actuated by a true re.
god lo the honour, the interests and welfare of the
Ilation, we call upon them, not in the insidious tone
of ihnie persons to whom we have alluded, but in
the real spirit of sincerity, for that Unanimity which
must ever 'frustrate any hostile attempt to injure or
to degrade us.
