but let him not pertift in the attempt firs of all to
lower the Government of this country in the eyes of
that Government with whom we are contending; and,
in the neat place, cramp the public energies in the
eyes of thole who may think, that when Minifters
have the confidence of Parliament, there will be no
great danger to be feared from an enemy. If, in

man, it &Add be the pleafttre of the Houfe to ad.
vile his Majetty to change his Minifters, I run very
doubtful if any change would meet the minds of the
country, or even gratify that Right Hon. Gentleman

Country fhould be formed out of the oppotite Bench ?
—ls it his opinion that the public intereft would be
profited by the re-ettablithment of thokief whom he
himfelf was formerly one ? The Right Hon. Gen-
tleman can with for no other change clan that which
can *rife from a fentiment that there is no chance for
the fafety of the nation, wilds his own opinions and
ideas be adopted in his Mi;jeff y's Councils. He would
laid very few indeed whole opinions concurred' with
his own, that his fentinsents ought to operate upon the
Coancils of his Majefty. 'This is my fincere and
critißientious opinion, and I mutt Rill farther add,
that I timid indeed dread the adoption of his coon-

Dr. Lenience, in a fpeech of confiderable length,
vindicated the condua uniformly purlied by his Right
Hon. Friend (Mr. Windham), which he contended to
hive been at all times coniiilent and contlitutional.—
He had oppofed the Treaty of Amiens, as one by i
which the ntereits of this Country had been materi-
ally injured ; and the circumffance of that Treaty
✓iot having been obferved. and of war breaking out
fhortly after, it was a fafficient proof of the inflict
of his Right Hon. Friend's obfervations concerning
it. The moment. however, that the war broke out,
his Right Hon. Friend purfued a different amine
from what Ise had done before : he direlted all his
attentipn to the belt means of ficuring the Country
againff danger and it he differed from Miniffers, it
was only becatife he thought they had not ailed with
ruificient vigour. The learned Gentleman then took
a general view of the polities of his Right Hon.
Friend, and conflicted the attacks fo frequently made
spina him by the Chancellor of the Exchequer as
highly unjullifiabk. It was unjulliftable to charge his
Friend with creating a defpondency in the couittry,
by doing thole very things which had for their objea
to animate the Country to greater exertions. He
eosfidered the (peed% of the Chancellor of the Re-
amer on that evening as another attack of the kind
to 'which he alluded.
Mr. Su 11110•11 Paid, that fb far from the fpeecia or
the Chaneslior of the Exchequer being an attack. ha
4onfidered it as a fpitited reply to the attack which
Mr. W. had made againft him. As to the connate,.
