fo far as general preeedests go, great talehts and I
public virtais in a Stattfroan have not been:anal!,
confidered as entitled to fuch marks of public dif-
tindion as are now propofed. The only inftance was,
indie cafe of the illeftrious Lord Chatham, the great
ancefter of the Rigk Hon. Gentleman now alluded
to: He mrtainly7endeied his country the mon lig-
sal feridees. I do not will' to draw invidious diftinc.
tions, or to qUtitiOfr the porky of the Hon. Member's I
motives,. bot I with him to compare the fituation of I
this country at the cenclufion of the peace of 1763,
with its lituation at the conclufion of the peace of
Amiens, or any other peace it Mall met conclude
with France ; and I alk him, whether the compari-
foo.will warrant this Houfc in adopting the precedent?
In fade I Cannot conceive where lies, the claim of
loch Manama to totems, where they have not been
fuccefsful; nor bas it ever been ufual to confer them.
I conceive, therefore, the Hon. Gentleman did not
duly confider his motion before he propounded it to
the Houle ; for furely, Sir, if he had, he could not
have imagined you would vote funereal honours or,
monumental tiophies to • Minifter whofe meafures
have-been productive of fo much misfortune to the
country, and whore lall, and moR important project,
had fo recently terminated in difailers fa ruinous to
Europe, and fo ferioufly alarming to the Britifh em-
pire. I do not wifh, Sir, to pufh my objections to
any greater length at this moment ; but I cannot
give my affent to a motion this night which would
be vittually a contradiction to the votes I have given
for a (cries of years, againfl all the leading meafures
of that Minifler."
MOROSE faid that he felt at all times a difficulty
in ezpreffing his feeling, but he never felt fo much
difficulty in he did now. He would ord.), fay, what
were his private feelings on this fubjetl, but lie had
already hoped that this motion would have been car-
ried with unanimity. He had looked back to the
cafe of Lord Chatham, for whom a fimilar honour
was moved. He had found that that Noble Lord
bad °pooled Government with the greateft violence‘
and with every opprobrious expteffion that could well
be imagined. But did that Government afterwards
oppofe the granting of the honours claimed for liimi
No. But tt ithout admitting the juftice of his cen-
litres on themlelves, they were fentible of his merits
and contented. They knew that many dillinguiffied
Statefmen differed in their opinions, and made his
pppotition to thews no ground for refuting him fuch
bon ,urs as the country was inclined to confer. The
Gentleman objected to the words, "excellent Stater-
man." But Mr. Pitt might be allowed by them to
be a good Ratefman, though he might have, in their
opinion, fallen into errors. Sume faid that he. found
the country in a (tote of profperity, and left it in diffi-
culties and dangers. He did not mean to impute
improper motives to them. He addreffed their un-
derflandings. not their feeling. This :ountry, like
the ref of Europe, was reduced to difficulties by the
)trench Revolutioo. Auftria had loft Flanders, and
other countries had alto fuffered. But when Mr.
Pitt same into power this country wis exhautted by
ruinous wars. He found its commerce gone, and
its power weakened. But, during his adminiflrk-
lion commerce flouriffied to an aitonithing degiee.
He doubled the number of feamen—he doubled
the thipping and the manufactures. He found
the funds lower than they are now at the end of
thirteen years war. The revenue then vac only
about equal to the interell of the debt. But he
improved our refources. It is true that he u.o.
forced to lay heavy burthens on the people, but he
bad always refuurces to meet them. But he would

tint OM noir on the merits irsi
,geodniirtifiration.—
He was tarry that he had been forced to fay this
much. His Hon. Friend who prepared the 810ii0b,
willed not to word it Co as to taofe objections to be
made to it, or to give offence to any one. He mere•
ly copied it from the Journals and concluded that
as it had bee' acquiefced is with regard to Lord
Chatham, there could be no objection in this inflance.
He could not perceive how they could be degraded,
as they raid they would be, by confentiag to the
motion. All that was intended to be conveyed by
the words of the motion was, that Mr. Pitt had great
and fplendid talents' which he had uniformly exert-
ed for the fervice of she country. That he had ex
erred them, and at the expence of his health, he was
fatly convinced, and believed that the Noble Lord
who fell in the battle of Trafalgar" did not facrifice
Ais life for his country more certainly than Mr. Pitt
'bad done. His laft words, as be underftood from
thofe about him were, " Oh my Country!" This
(hewed how much he had the good of his country at
heart. Any coneefEon reletive to this motion, could
not bind Gentlemen as to dircufGons on the merits of
the adminiftration for the Taft fix month,. That would
reft on its own ground. He hoped, therefore, that
all party fpirit would be put out of the queltion, and
that merit rutty admitted, whiz!) was fo fenfibly felt,
sot only in thiscountry, but over all Europe.
Mr. FOX rofe, and fpoke nearly as follows--" I do
not know, Sir, that ever I rofe to addrefs the Houfe
in the performance of my public duty with more pain
,rban I do at this moment. I therefore hope that I
*All experience force indulgence if, before I give my
vpte on this queftioa, I fhould fhoittly Rate the rest-
as which Compel me to oppofe the potion Dow pea
*fed hy the Hon. Gentleman under the gallery.—
The Hon. Gentleman rays, that all party feelings and
political animofities fhould be laid afide on the prefent
pyciifion ; I allure him, Sir, that I do lay afide all •
party feelings. If I bad any fuch at this time, they
would lead me to vote with the Hon. Gentleman,
'lnd not againft him. At the fame time I do not pre•
tend to undervalue party feelings. When a perfon is
convinced that tilt opinions which he holds, if aded
upon, would be pitoduaive of benefit ttr hiscountry, but
finds that the only chance of having them ailed upon
depends upon his connexion with a party, and the fop-
port which by this means he may acquire, it is his duty
to hive recourfe to a party. He 'may confider this
fairly and juftly as the beltmode of effellually carry-
ing into execution thofe meafures whichyia leis eftima-
tionr are the moll calculated to promote the public
profperity and happinefs. But at prefent it is obvious
40,every one, that all the motives which are likely to,
influence me, is far as party is concerned, are on the
,fide of the Han. Gentleman, and would kid me to
Vote with him. The Hrsn. Gentleman mull fee, that
if :the gratification of party feelings, if ambition. if
-private intereft were my objeds, the molt „proper
equrre for me to puerile, wbuld ire to give an imme-
Mate 'agent to this motiod. Upon fuel a fuppofition
,adetY Mit-WWII be fenfible how much it would be my
iraeret to coriciliate.as mach as poffible, all thofe who
had the greateft refped and value for Mr. Pitt, to
drown, if it could be done, the very remembrance of
oar political contefts, and endeavour by every means
that could be imagined,their rapport and favour. This
Would be the line of conduit which party views would
faggeft, as the molt proper to follow. But this is not
all ; there are other motives of no lefs weight, that
t &only recommend the fame mode of proceeding--
4hefe are the high refped and warm friendfltip which
!Voiles me with fume of thofe who rapport the motion.
We have learned from the. Noble Lord (Temple) on
the Bench neat me, hour he is difpoled ; fuch, no
doubt, are the fensiments entertained by thofe with
whom he is mat cliffely conneded. I muft now then
vote in oppofition to thole whore friend(hip
eonfti-
totes the delight and happinefs of ray private life,
and from whom, fence affairs have taken loch a
torn, it is prbbable I 'Sall never be feparated during
the remainder of my political life. The vote there-
fore may be confidered as one not given to gratify
any feeling of private animofity, or of public ambi•
tion, but extorted by a usoft painful but imperious
duty. Ia every patty point of view then, whether
my object thould be to conciliate thofe who have the
' warmell attachment to the memory of Mr. Pitt, er
to join with thofe who are already my political friends,
my plan would be to fupport the Hon. Gentleman's
Motion. I will go farther, and fay that if feelings
were to be allowed to direct our conduct on this oc-
carton, the Right Hon. Gentleman oppolite (Mr.
Rofe) might addrefs to our feelings arguments much
more powerful than thofe which he has jolt now ad•
dreffed to our reafons. I, Sir, have been engaged in
a long courfe of oppolition to the perfon for whom
public honours are now Claimed. I may fay that I
have been confidered, and perhaps it may be called a*
honour, as his rival. But I do alfure the Right FlOll.
Gentleman; his molt zealous and greaten admirers,
that during all that time, -I never oppofed him from
a perfonal motive in my life. I will go farther [ldle
and fay, that another motive would lead me to fup;,
port the motion, and that is the refped which I enter-
tain for many of Mr. Pitt's perfonal qualities. Great
qualities he certainly had, in no ordinary degree, in
private life ; and great qualities alfo in points cOn.
neded with his adminiftration. I do not think thfs
' a proper time to enter upon the particular ads of that
adminiftration, but in the meafure of the Sinking
Fund, he had always my warmeft fupport, and I
freely declare my opinion that this has done a great
deal of good to the nation, and that for this, there-
fore the country is highly obliged to him ; (loud cries
of ;ear ! hear!).—There is another quality for which
he deferves great praife. No Minifler was eocr more
dilinterefted, as far as related to pecuniary matters.
His integrity and moderation, in this refped, is con.
firmed by the Rate of his affairs when he died. I
allow that a Knitter is not to be confidered as furr-
derate and dilinterefted, merely becaufe he is poor
during his life, or at his death. But when I fee it
Minifter, who has been in office above zo years, wiih
the full command of places and public money,without
any peculiar extravagance and walk, except what
might be expelled from the carelegnefs that perhaps
neceiratily orate from the multiplicity of duties to
winch the attention of el man in fuch a fituation muft
be diteded ; when I fee a Miniffer under fuch cireum-
fiances ufing his influcnceneither to enrich himielf nor
thofe with whom he is, by family ties, more peculi-
arly connected, it is impolible for me uot to eouclude
that this 111.111 is dilinterefted. I molt fay, that he
ha., with regard to priviste emoltiment, ailed with a
high dew% of iotegritY anal Moderation. In the

. . .
con rfe of the long aelniinifitation of Mr. Pitt, all tha
he stook fbr himfelf was the Wardenffiip of the
Cinque Ports. This wag certainly in him highly dif-
interefted t and his dilintereftednefs in this refped
Wiles with the More lutlre, when we confider the
mode in Which, according to report, this reward has
been (ince difpofed of. I, therefore, Sir, have every
nrafon, from my intimate friendflrip and neat con.
nedion with the living, and from my own private
feelings and refped for the dead, who undoubtedly
poffeffed many eftirnable qualities, to give my
fuppnrt to the motinn nnw before the Houfe.
I might be led to this by another motive. If
perfonal vanity had any weight with me, I might
from this confideratinn cnneur with the Honourable
Gentleman. I might by this means gain a great deal of
applaufe, without Any lots whatever in a party point
siview, and I de not pretend to be infenfible to praife
any more than others. Thofe who admired and cup.
ported Mr. PITT, might thus be difpofed to call my
acindue generous, conlislering the warm oppofition to
e another in which we lived, and from what has
(ellen firm the Noble Lnrd near me, (Temple) it
appears that I would not have fuffered in the opinion
of my firmed friends. But there are cafes, Sir, in
which our public ditty is fo clear and imperious, ,
that no defire of praife, i3O motive of perfonal re. ,
ton
(Pee, so wills to gratify our friends, nor any other
confederation, however powerful, can poffihly enable
us to difpenfe with it.—We mull then ad as oar
confeienees directs, however painful this may Ise
to our feelings. In my cookience, Sir, I believe
this to be one of thofe cafes ; if the marks of refped
were fuch as did not comprocnife my public duty in
, the compliance, no perfon would join in it more cheer-
fully and more eagerly than I would. If, for inftance,
it had been propofed ter remedy thefe pecuniary diffi.
.cplties which Mr. Peer had incurred in the murk
ill his political life ; if it had been propofed to do
;lilnfe things for his relatinns in that way, which his
AIM 'aeltabwledged difinterettednefs did not allow
hint to dd ; if it had been propofed to (apply the
deficiencies of his own fortune, I would molt wil-
lingly content that all this fbould be done in the molt
liberal manner. But it is a very different thing to be
called upnn to confer honretrs upon Mr. Pitt as 4, an
,excellent Statefman." We ought not. Sir, in inch
cafes, to he complimented out of our confent—if our
public duty commands us to oppofe the grant of Inch
honours. 'fhe public honours are matters of the high-
elt importance,becaufe they muft more or lefs influence
pqfterity. They ought not, theiefore, to be conferred
lightly, but only where merit is clearly feen and se-
knowledgesl. I could farther add, Sir, that the manner
in Which the Honourable Gentleman opened this bufi-
nefs, would lead me to give his Motion my fupport ;
but when the public honours are folicited, it becomes
to eonfult neither my intereft nor my feelings, but
toadbere rigidly and confcientionfly to my public daty.
I need not now, Sir, add any thing to what has been .
.sze
faid refpettiog honours conferred upon military men
and flatefmen, by my Hon. Friend on the Bench near
me (Mr. Windham), who has fo ably , and clearly
pointed out the dillindion between the two cafes.—
As little need I add to what has been faid by my Ho-
nourable Friend on my right hand (Mr. Ponfonby),
refpeding many eminent public men. on whom no
honours of this kind were conferred. and for whomt
none wete folicited, though their talents, virtues, and
good intentions were unqueflionable. It is not to
particular ads only that we are to look. We muR
confider the general effeft which thefe ads produce.
with a view to the public benefit. Certainly when I
Inok at Lord Chatham's monument—when I find
the infcription bearing upon the face of it the grounds
upon Which this monument was voted ; when I
find it there Rated, that he had reduced the power
of France to a very low ebb, and raifed the profpe-
rity of his country to a very high pitch; I mutt fay.
that this cafe can never be compared with, that of
Lord Chatham. I mull fay, that the country at pre-
fent is reduced to the molt dangerous and alarming
fituation—a fituation which might call for any thing
rather than honours to bz conferred. upon him, who
bad the direction of themeafures which brought it to
this Rate. The Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Role)
laid, that in the cafe of Lord Chatham there was the
molt perfect unanimity, though there' were many in
the Houle who had oppoled his political principles.
Why fn there was ; but then, Sir, the merit was clear,
and the infcription related to points on which there
met have been themnft perfed unanimity; and though
certainly during the fever' years war there was a llrong
oppofition, yet his merit on certain points, to which the
infcription referred. was allowed by the bitterelt of his
antarnilts. But though no confideratinn ought to
induce us to betray (stir truft in conferring the public
honours, yet at the fame time there are cafes in which
the effects of this might be lefs fenfibly felt.—For
inßance, in cafes where we fhould be compelled
to oppofe particular ads of an Adminiftration, we
might Rill make a clear diftinetion between what
was good and what was bad. In the prefent cafe I
(hall not enter upon the particular ads. But I was,
always one of thefe who conflantly faid that the (yid
tem to which Mr. Fit lent his aid was an unfortunate
and dangerous fyftem, and the great caufe of all the
misfortunes and calamities that affailed us in the
courfe of his adminifintion. Being of this opinion.
how can I confcientioufly fay that he whn followed
this fyftem was "an excellent Ratefman ?" Let us
look at the American war and the death of Lord
Guildford. For the private charader of this man I
had the highelt refired and elleem. I lived with him
in habits of intimacy and friendfhip ; and yet, Sir,
had any attempt been made to cotter upon him any
honcur of this nature, I fhnuld certainly have thought
myfelf bound in duty to oppofe it. Now, I have been
uniformly of opinion that the fy Rem upon which Mr.
Pitt aEteel was productive of the worn effeds t 3 the
country and to the world. It was a fyllem, Sir, little
calculated to bring forward men of fuch eminence
as himfelf, though he was fo mach attached to it.—
It was owing fro him, indeed, I ant perfunded,
that the fyftem maintained its ground fo long.—
His great eloquence, his fplendid talents call a veil
over it, and concealed thole things which other-
wife would have been espofed in all their odious
deformity. Nn man can be more delirous than
I am to bury in oblivion the remembrance of thole
contells in which we had fo long been engAged. This
I flsewed plainly ennitgli while he was alive. But I
cannot content to corder public honours on the ground
i f his being 211. excellent Siatcfman,- on the man who,
in my opinion, was the f.le, certainly the chief fup.
porter of a.fyßem, which I had early been taught to

~.,

&Milder as a very bad one, an idea which the refi. is
fully and fatally jintified. Thinking thus, it cannot lie
expected that I Ihould fo far for2,et my poliiie thus,
and the principles which I have uniformly profet,r3it,
ac to fohfcr P.m to the condemnation of thole pt inciplec,
by agreeing to the minion now before the Houle. But
I defy the Hon. Gentleman, I defy any prrfon who
differs from me, and yet nationally confiders the fob-
jek I defy any OPC.of thrice who Are moll delimits of
carrying this motion, to mifreprefent my motives, or
to point out any poffible C.:cling of inteteft of ambi-
tion that could induce Mt tapir:34e it. My motive is
a fenfe of public duty, which would be a/framed, if
agree to confer hiaroore, up grounds which to Mt de
not appear to warrant my canctorence. Sir, I an;
Ibrry that this motion was ever made. I faid fo be, •
fore, .and if dude who were molt nearly cost:need '
with Mr. Pitt (Alluding probably to tht Grenvilles)
by the ties of blood, and who may befuppofed to be
molt interefted in his glory, and the refpee that is to
attend his memory, had been confulted, I believe a
ramie might have been (truck out, by which a fuita-
ble mark of refpeCt might have been conferred on
him, without reducing us to this dilemma. Now,
however, it is too late. The thing is done, and
cannot bc helped, and nothing remains for us but:to
do our duty, however much our feelings may be
hart in the pertin mance. I moil theVore conclude
with faying, that, in my opinion, my public dutr
Alec call upon me in the molt imperious and irrefilto
Isle manner, to opprife the motion, and that, howe-
ver painful to my feelings in eyery refped it may be,
I molt do my duty."
