| to the Prince Regent, on the late happy c.
| vents, compared the Manifesto of the Duke
OF Brunswick in 1892, with the recent De-
claratIon OF the Allies. The moderation

Major Barber Beaumont then moved the
/ following Amendnent - S.N
That, relying on the wisdom of his Ma
]jesty's Councils, we confidently trust, that
the dignity of England, and England's
l rights, will not be compromised by hasty
peace with the only remaining and subord-
nate enemy 20 which we are now opposed.
The ungenerous attack Of that Government,
processing principles Of liberty, upon this
country. when engaged in fighting for the
Liberties of Europe, cannot be forgotten; and
we venture to hope. that the Americans
will not be released from the situation in
which the cupidity of their Government has
involved them, until, in the language of their
present ruler, 1--WE have chastised the sa,
wages into present peace. and made last
ing impression on their future fears"
While this was reading, the party had

Thanks were voted to Sir F. Burdett.
