Was not 'included in the Treaty. Here the Ho•
tiottrable% Baronet went into detail to prove, that
this counts.* 'MO have been perfectly jullifiable
in coneluding a reParire
.treaty, and infilled that
Abe Treaty figned by d'Oubril was not ratified by the
Emperor, of Merely becaufe the terms were
not in thetufelvestiffiCiently advantageous, and not
biCatife, the Treati Was not condnaed in concert
with Crest 'Bailin. The Honourable Baronet there-
fore; felt MAIO juflified in concluding, that England
could have treated Without Ruffia, and that it was
theh Continent with expediency to make a fepartte
ireace. For what was the only ground for a&ing in
concert, merely the treaty of the s Ws of April, a 835,
called the Treaty of Concert. He contended that it
was a fpeCial treat* for a particular purpofe, and that
purpofe coaling to exifl, would Gentlemen contend
that the Treaty was any longer binding ? Ruffia did
nut bring forth her powers in confequence of that
treaty. Bhe.did not aft upon that treaty, but con&
trait toil, in &atilt powers to D'Clgbril to treat fe-
parately. He had looked over all the papers conneft-
ed with that iffstednegotiation, and there was no.
ibis g in theiii. that did not confirm his perfuafion that
IPQnbril was fully authorized to treat feparately,
and that the iefnfal to ratify was owing to the terms
digital treaty, and not the principle of a (*-
rate nygtciation. Why theti were the Houfe to be
tqldtbat theinegodition, of no unfavourable nature to
chi. want*, was broken off, not becaufe the terms
were injurinds to us, but becaufe we were not per-
mitted to ea in ,concert with our ally; who had de-
' termined ,t 0 treat diftinftly for himfelf.? He eritid one
help malting. one remark on the bats, as dated' by
hti. Foz, d 4 honourable to each country and its al-
lies:" he afked if a more vague and indefinite term
could be, ufeeflo mark the bats of a treaty, than a
wend fo entirely depending upon undefined opinion.
The Honcurable Baronet then, at great length, en-
deavoured to (hew that France was not fincere in
her Profeffed wifhes for peace ; that England hid
been the dupe of credulity, anted upon by intrigue
feign the commencement, as was fully inflinced in
what he called the trick of the Affaffin, which gun
Ur. Fox had afterwards fufpeiled to be a frick•
and concluded by iufilling that, infincere as he
believed Ta!leyrand was is his willies forbringing the
negochtiin to an amicable ine, yet the terms were
fuch as were entirely unworthy of the treaty, and in-
difcreet refufal they met with from his Majelly's Mi-
nifters upon the alledged neceffity of treating, in con.
ccrt with whin no fuch necelaty appeared.—
As to Praia; (he now felt the confequences of that
narrow policy which Richelieu had given.birth to.
and according :to the principles of which Elie bad fo
uniformly afted. The fubjugation of the Houfe of
AUltria :is the principle of that policy, and the
Treaties of Weflphalia and Utrecht would be handed
down as memorable piciofs Of it. He could nut fit
• down without discharging the molt pleating part.of
his duty'by giving his mr, ft hearty approbation to that
pan of the Addrefs which prornifed his MajcOy this

prefling his concern lit the language to which he•
had lillened front his Noble Friend (I,ord titmice),
as tending to thew, that Miniflers entertained an opt-
nion, that inch had been•the conduct of Fiancee that
at.no time could they depend upon the proinifes of
that nation, and that therefore it would never be face
to enter upon any negNciatiohs of a pacific nature.
