gust, In debate on the consolidated fund bill,
Sir Thomas Tnrton thought that in the pre-
sent circumstances it was necessary to give
confidence to ministers. Russia and Prussia
were Frustrated at the feet of France, and our
disputes with America increased. The con-
duct of the latter country was owing entirely
