N Lord HOWICK, in explanation, (aid, he had
eg-
prefsly (fated, that Lord Yarmouth went to France
'no the faith of the bails of vii pope/oil ; to carry a
verbal anfwer to a verbal meffage ; and that he bad
(hewn his full powers before the French Government
had acknowledged that bafis. He was furprifed,
therefore, the Noble Lord ftiould have thought it ne-
ceffary to make the ftatement he had done.
Mr. MONTAGtJE regretted, that in the whole
of this bonnets he faw the eonplete fuecefs of the
'machinations of France. The French Policy pet him
in mind of the policy of the ancient Turks, which
was " to make finer truces to fecure tnnqueds, and
(hart wars to enlarge them." Confidering the cafe
ifn this principle, we might find that the French had
procured the benefit of a truce, and ufed it to blind
oar Government. The origin of the Negotiation was
owing to the death of that great Ratefman, Mr. Pitt,
whir was ,the pilot who had weathered fo many
amnia. He-thought he law that illuftrious State:-

But he wattle** whether this coridna of Mr. Pitt
was at alt limiter to that of,Mr: For ? Did 14. Fox
diltruft the Demon ? Nn—he was earnenly defirous
of malting peace, and of this defire the French had
' taken advantage. He lamented the death of Mr. Fox.
He was acquainted with him, and valued him as a
man ; bat during the twenty years that he had fat in
that Haute, he had always differed with him in poll-
':tics, and in all that time he had never altered his
cotaduCt, which in there times of (hitting and return-
ing, was rather a angular inhance. As to the firft
nvertuve, he Confidere& it as having come from Mr.
'Fox, Orr his letter had broke the ice. It was impof-

to 'cape& that a fulfome letter thoutd be fent in

—He was not to fee that. -('He did not mean to caR
any refleCtion on Mr. Fox Mere than the nature of
the cafe warranted). When- the friendfhip of Mr.
Fax and Talleyrand began, he could not fay. Per..
haps it was when Talleyrand was here, in Int, and:
had" kindled the .fiames of war over Europe. He!
would ph aver what bad occurred previous to the
arrival of Lord-Yarmouth. He acknowledged that'
Mr. Forbad moored the fophiney of Talleyrand in
a clear and manly manner. But-was-it the policy of
Talleyrand to obtain peace ? No: .Why then it
was nothing better than a truce upon die principle.
