language and condo& Tallertaid to afeertain an
admitted inettfputible foe, as Co the original balls of
the Negotiation. But, in order to controvert the
ftatemeht, thal this bafis referred to the utipifidetii,
the Noble Lord oppofite fixed upon the firftlommo-
nication froni France, and finding that in Bonaparte's
fpeech to his Senate, in which-he fpoke of the bafis
of the Treaty of Amiens, the Noble Lord infilled
that loch was the probable balls originally propofcd
by the French Government. Now, it happened that
the Noble Lord was rather fnmcwhat confufed in his
examination. For the Negotiation was not at all on
the tapis at the time this fpeech was made, and there-
fore the fentiment quoted from it, had t:o conneition
with the cafe before the Houle. Indeed the whole was
confounding an amicable correfpondence between two
individuals; one of whom was fincerely anxious for
peace, with the official communications of Public hlt/
Hitters. With refpee to the continuance of the negocia-
tion after his arrival in Paris, hc referred for the jollifi-
cation of his condue, to the documents on the table,
confident that it-would appear from them that he
had not unneceffarily or improperly prolonged
Ray after he found the French Government unwilling
to ae according to the principles upon which alone
he was authorifed to proceed ; therefore, no charge
of procraflination was attributable to him, for his
delay at Paris would have been very (bort indeed,
were it polible for him to obtain pafrports as loon as
he applied for them. Any time that he remained at
Paris, in eonfequence of apparently pacific changes
an the condole and tone of the French Minifler, and
particularly in confequenee of the change produced
by the intelligence of the non-ratification'of the Ruf-
fian Treaty, was dieated by. an anxious define to
avail himfelf of any favourable opportunity that
promifed to fecure the great objea his million had in
view, and in that to fecure the honour and interelis
of his country. With regard to the letter alluded to
by the Noble Lord oppofite, he could fay, that dur
ins his flay in Paris he experienced no want of ci-
vility whatever ; nor did he know of any thing dif-
ferent, until he law, in this country, the ponhumous
letter addreffed to him, in the Itlonittar.
The Addrefs was read from the Woolfack, and
agreed to unanimoully.

gave great currency to the report that the French
