SATURDAY; JUNE 4, 1803.

, • i
tint, a i the fame dine; affure the Houfe, that I reel no
common pride in being -elaffed with fuch men • men
who hive eflabliflsed their character on the /4114
poffibk grounds in this country, and who are looked
.tip, to with refpetl in every Cabinet of Enrope. Allis-
films have been made on a former occafion to the
tmlnenfe preparations carrying on in the ports of the
French Republic, but I cannot bring myfelf to be-
Heine, wbatever heti preparations have been, that
they were defigne4i againff this country. I have
heard, from i quarter which leates no doubt upon
the fubjed, that when Lord Whitworth received his
Majellygs Meffage to. Parliament, communicating
that intelligence, he himfelf did not know of any fuch
armaments. That this was the fad is confirmed by
thedatentent of the First Confizj„and by the pofitive
aureoles of Monfienr Talleyrand. 1 am alfo in.

.fentments of an Officer of eat emi-
ndeinnea a th;rCivil line inFrance,
in who lee rill

of die colonial intim., • I now come to a view ofshi
"ape" and documents which are upon .yOu'r table,
relative to the late "circle/ion, and the immediate
caulks of the prefint rupture. I cannot conceive'
that there is a fingle man in this Mak, Or in-the
Fai country; with I f ark of. Englifb fpirit in his bread,
or a drop'of Oh blood in his veini, who is not
fatisfic.l that the trll Confid ultimately aimed a fatal
.blow at the ruin of our power and independence.
Bat although this is a propofition which cannot be
controverted, it noes not go to extenuate the awakes
purfued by his Majelty's Miniliers, in their difeuffinos
with the Government ;of. France. We are called
un to take into confederation the condsta of rho
JUng's Minilters, as it arifes out of the Papets
on the table; and the refult is, that they have been.
kept in a continual Mite of aggreffion; irfult, and de.
gni:felon, by the Firtt Confuf. I contend, Sir, that
the firti ad of aggrelfinn ought not to have been- dif-
fered, that a firm and deter mined vend flossiskt have
been made to it, and that fuch an opportunity toasts-
tat itod invalidate the pretentiona of Frazee, and to
entree stir own juft 'claims, ought not to have been
panel by unnoticed aqd neglected, as I lament td fay
it has. Bat his Majelky's Minillfrenot only, did
,not
tile:roper to ref& IL firk 'and 'finit, ad of mg.
, bet they openly admit, from eildertee of
rie fences upon your table.-that they hive fisffited
patiently and ignominioittly a long feries cif. 'aggref.

molt attire In their remonftrances and complaints.—
But at the fame time I readily grant, that all there
injuries and caufes of complaint, when taken in the
aggregates form an irrefiitible ground for the vigo-
rous profecution of hoffilities. We have indeed fonie-
thing like a new fubjeet of the hoflile views of the
French Government in the appointment of Commei-
cial Catuniffioners ; bat in that cafk I malt decided".
ly contend, that no remonflrance on our part owes

nion, on the contrary, apreof of *tar weaknefs and

the melancholy fituation of Switzerland and Hol-
land, I, feel myfelf altuated by confiderations which
affed • my nun Country very nearly. I cannot be
igniiiiiit that they have ehntended for their independ-
ence and liberties, and tannot but lament that•their
