tish governments has proceeded in the
fal6lment of the conditions Of the treaty
of Amisns reprobating the violation Of
that treaty by France asinjurious to this
country, unjust, infringing the most 81.
cred obligations, and hostile tothe gene
raj liberty Of Europe and concluded
with assurances to his majesty Of the
most jealous support Of the house, in
such measures a. he should think neces-.
sary to vindicate the liberties Of his peo-
pie and the honor Of the crown"
Lord King moved an amendment, = to

his majestys measures, in terms which
still insinuate the Propriety in not shut

mind ever witnessed within the walls Of
