-, Lord Pelham fait, he was forr. not to-
have Il in his power to comply With the
nobieSord's motion, becaulc his najsfy's
government had not received asy fuch
Communication as that which tie noble
lord deGred to have laid before the Hcule.
The faith of France had beea .piedgA to
fulfil the article in favor Of the Prince Of
Orange; and he was inre that would be
done, although he muf again FAY, be had
been disappointed when he underitood
that nothing more had been obtained in
his favor.
Lord Grenville fully agreed with the
noble Earl near him, as to the indignity and
injury offered to the Prince of Orange,
whole rights this country mott THANKFULLY
abandoned at the very time when France
was claiming freedom and rettitution of
property for traitors in every part Of the
world. His lordlhip having rifen 10 fFeak
ieveral times in the cour(e of the debate,
contended that the Treaty of Peace itfelt
was very differen: from that which he ard
the late Miniaers had laid down as the ba-
Gs of the negotiations at Life.
The Lord Chancellor iaid, that 70 far
from their being iuch difference as that
Rated by his noble friend, when he advif-
ed his majeRy to agree to the 2Eefent
Treaty, he did 70, not 70 much from his
own judgment, as from the defereace in
which he held the opinion as we'll as the
talents of This noble friend, Whole projee
at the negotiations a, Life, was nearly
followed in the late Preliminary Treaty.
With refpea to the motion Immediately
before the Houle, he mutt conGder'the a
ereement entered into between feveral
powers, in the fame manner as an agree
ment between individuals. The act they
may have agreed upon would nor be al
tered by any arrangement privately made
between any OF the parties, after h-'agree-
ment was entered into. -Four individuals

might agree with reirett to thelaitlves 10
Tome alteration in the general agreement.
In the fame manner the four contracting
parties to the Dshnisivc Treaty ~ere all
equally bound by the law of nations to
fulfil it, and it could in no manner be at
fe6ed by what two Of them might do lepa-.
rately. Spain was as much bound as
Holland to fee the article for iudennifying
the Prince of Orange, carried into effect;
and he had no doubt but that the indemih-
cation would be made. In his opinion
the prelent diicufion could anfwer no pur-
pofe whatever. 1t could not fefve the
Prince of Orange, but on the contrary
render his claim more iniecure, and there
fore he could not spproveof the conduct of
the noble Earl in bringing it forward. T.
Lord Granville, in explanation, con-
tended, notwithstanding the opinion of
his noble and learned friend, Whole great
knowledge and talents every man knew the
value of, that tile PROJECT ofLIlle had been

Lord Auckland faid he for one was We.
ry much difappointcl and diliatished,
when he heard Of the liquidation that had
been made in favour of "A family for whom
he had long entertained the highe& regarl.
He knew that the Prince of Orange pol
ieT:d immcn(e property, not only In
eaates, but in effects in Holland, in Bra
bant and other places, no part of which he
hid now any chance of recovering, and it
was therefore much to be regretted thar
fom. Population more favorable to the
Prince had 20. bcsn made. From his re-
iilence in Holland, he knew very we'll the
attachment Of thar family to Greas- BIZ
tain.-D HAsis6ed, however, with what
had been done, he firmly believed that toe
fipslation in favour Of the Prince would
be carried iato efett. :: -
