temporary fupply, for three months, for yosooo
men. The extenfion of that demand pretty slearly
impli. d that this negotiation had failed ; and,
therefore,the extenfion of the Supply tot 2 months
was deemed necelTary. What then muft be the
feelings of the Country on fuch an occafion ; or
what its reliance on the firmnefs or decifion of
bliniffers,whooneday think a fuppl y for three months
amply fufficient, and the next deem the extenfion
of that fupply to twelve months indifpenfible ?
However, he highly approved the vote as it food,
and molt cheartully ilibfcribed to the principles
avowed by his Noble Friend. He thought the
debate fortunately provoked, that hadVlicited his
fentiments ; and fully agreed in the neceflity of
being prepared for the worft. Moft fully did he
coincide with the gallant Ofalcer, who (poke early
in the debate, in the neceffity of being prepared to
aa with pi 0111136E11de and effea,upon the firft dawn
of emergency ; and that time would not be loft
in trifling negotiations about petty hoftilities given
or received by our frigates in dillant parts of the
world ; for miferably indeed would that man cal-
culate on the ambition, the perfidy, and the une-
quivocal defigns of France, towards this countryo
who would not be prepared to expel the event,and
to repel inealion, which, in all probability, would
precede any hoftile declaration on her part, and be
the tuft proof of her determination. He next ad-
verted tp the fubjeas of Malta and Switzerland,
which, he raid, Minifters evaded without explana-
Lion ; and contended that the Houfe had a right to
know how far the honour of the country had been
pledged on thole fubjeas, and how far redeemed;
but, from the apparent evation of anfwering on
there poiuts, he fulpeaed all was not found.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL, in a vein of much
pleafantry, expreffed his affonithment at all this
fyllem of complaint and oppofition, coming from
Gentlemen, who neverthelefs agreed in the necef-
iity of the eery meafures they teemed to oppofe ;
and actually appeared to complain of nothing fo
much, as that they had nothing to complain about.
Such oppofitiun might have been naturally enough
expeeed from an Honourable Member, not now
in the Houle, who profeffed to think large arma-
ments not neceffary ; but from thofe who were
all clamour on the fubje& of our danger, and the'
neceffity of keeping up the large(' force, it was in
deed highly curious to hear a condemnation of the
very caudal they would themfelves have adopted,
and to which the true ferret of their oppofition
was, becanfe they had not the opportunity of pro-
pufing it. On this point the unequivocal declara-
tions of a Noble Lord of the party (Temple) made
the matter no difcovery of his. In the fupport,
however, that Gentlemen were pleafed to give to
the mature of this night, it would have been much
more gracious, if it bad been given in a manner
fo as to make it acceptable; but to preface good
Minifterial Votes by Oppofition Speeches, was
proof to him that there was more behind their in-
tentions than had yet appeared.
Dr. Lawa tact joined in the condemnation of
Minifters, in claiming fuch a fupply, unprefaced
by explanation, which he confidered infulting to
the Houle. He fully coincided in the apprehen-
fions of public danger; and atked why the number
qf our feamen in this crifis fhould be reduced from
70,000 to yo,ooo ? at a time when France had
increafed her army by an addition of 100,000 men,
and laboured incelfantly in all her arfenals and
dock-yards, to put her marine on the moll formi-
dable footing. The Hon. and Learned Gentle-
man concluded a very elaborate and eloquent
if:meth, by laying. that if he agreed in the vote,
it was not a mere Government vote ; or from any
conviaion, on his part, that it was the heft vote
he could give; hut, circumilanced as affairs were
at prefent, he felt himfelf under a neceffity of vot-
ing that fmaller number, which his Majetty's Mi-
nitiers demanded, though he would certainly have
preferred a much larger.
The queftion being now loudly called for, the
refolutions were feverally read and agreed to.
The CHANCELLOR of the Excasoste gave no.
lice, that he fhould to-morrow, in the Committee
of Ways and Means, move the ufual duties on
Malt, Mum, Cyder, and Perry ; and that in the
Committee of Ways and Means and Supply, he
Amid alto move, that a Turn of five millions of
Exchequer Bills fhould be granted to his Majefty,
for the fcrvice of the enfuing year.—Adjourned.
