|
Lords Before your Lordshps proceed to the business
of The day, beg 10 take the earliest opportunity
making nv acknowledgements to your Lordshps ano
Of expressing my deep sense OF The honor conferred
on Inc by The resolution which, by the votes and the
proceedings of your Lordshps House, | observe wa.
passed on Friday last (tiear, hear) That resolution
gratifying and highly grateful to myself personally
IS rendered, in my mind of infinitely greater value
by the opinions expressed by your Lordshps; namely
the expression of the satisfaction of your Lordshps
sat the restoration of good understanding with the
u States which it is alike the duty and the interest Of
both countries to maintain unbroken" An expression
so full Of wisdom and sound policy, delivered by such
body as the peers of this kingdom cannot fail to have
most valuable effect in producing that concllation
which is in itself sufficient 10 secure that end so much
desired by your Lordships The overwhelming I'M

fortunate differences which had gradually grown up
between the two countries, was my great Involvement

TO have the performance Of its duties approved by my
Sovereign-by her Maesty's Minsters-nnd | have
add the almost unprecedented honor OF the ap.
probation of yonr Lordships House, and II is quite
impossible for me to express TO your Loroships now
deeply sensible | am Of that honor. My Lords, IN
countries under free Government such as we have the
happiness 10 live under and America, 1t IS natural
that questions of this importance should be discussed
with great freedom; and that has been the case with
regard to the treaty which has been my lot 10 exc
cute Although trust that the conditions are such as
are likely conducive to the future maintenance of
peace, and eecluay, and entirely and fairly to settle
the question in dispute, must freely assure your
Lordships, that the mere minute question oil more
or less of boundary, which has been the subjec,
of SO much discussion, both here, and on the
other side OF the water, weighed, in my estimation,
yery little in comparison TO the larger question
of the settlement which would be satisfactory TO make
in the estimation of honorable minds in both countes
and should contend that the settlement which
is founded on honorable terms; and which is likely to
produce peace 1t is not my intention to go at all into
any question connected with this transaction, but will
only again express to your lordshps the deep sense
which / entertain of the honor of that appreciation
which you have been pleased TO express, which is the
highest reward that receive for the humble eff
forts which made in what conceived to be good
cause. Cheers
