That is the true principle which I hope
we (hall equally bear in mit.d, aiid which I
hope will lay aside all mistaken notions of
national pride, and induce us bolii to fnp
port that cause which hitherto too much la
bour has been employed to oppose and ob
(truft. I have itaud the general motives
for the measure.. but there are two other ob
jections of.which I mutt take notice—there
19 a general notion that this measure will
occalion the evil of a great number of ab
fentces from Ireland. I think that this is
a difildvantage that will be more thar. lup
plied in otlur respects, and indeed , much
more than counterbalanced, by the iiicreafe
oT wealth, which might take place in Ire
land by the introduction of £ritilh Capital ;
which will improve the commerce and the
agriculture of ttie whole kingdom, and give
to the inhabitants a turn for indultry,which
lead to that quietness which the country
wants. Ii will give to the people of Ire
.land an improved example of society where
the higheltand the loweit will be identified
111 intermit tor the l'afety ot tbe community;
an example ot an uniform gradation of life
without a chafni in the whole society ; the
whole being a.series of interests depending
upon each -other for the l'afety ot the whole.
I think that this will inorp than counterba
lance the disadvantage of abfenteqs—betides,
although the parliament ihould remove from
Dublin, yet Dublin will continue to be the
feat of education j it will have the fame Com
merce,'and in fomc refpedls its commerce
will be improved ; it will alio be the feat of
justice, where will be difeulL-d all the ques
tions cor.cjrning property, which will be the
more numerous as the nature of the property
will alter by the introduction of so much ca-'
pital in trade ; so that the very refpeetable
body of the bar will find their bulinefs increas
ed inltead. of being diniibilhed. Nor Will
.the feat of tbe imperial parliament be out of
the reach of him who is fired.with the am;
'bition of lignalizing his talents in the service
of his country in the Senate : therefore 1
fay, when additional wealth, additional se
curity anji the other advantages are taken in
to confide ration; the fade wdl preponderate
very much in favour of the Union. Letthofe
who doubt this loek at Scotland—look at
the metropolis, of that country. —What Ims
been the vault of the Union there :—an
Union, give rne leave to lay, as much oppo
sed, (and by much the fame arguments, pre
judices and misconceptions, by creating tbe
fame alarm, and, few a time, producing the
fame effects, as have appealed in this cafe)
I fay as much opposed as this has b«jn the
cafe here. What was the result ' Edinburgh
had, as Dublin will have, its trade, its feat
of education, its courts of jukice. Edin
burgh has, lince that period, doubled its po
pulation. Well, but Edinburgh had advan-
"" tiardingc,
W^n-ll
Warrcll,jun
ivlr Warrell, jnn,
tages peculiar to itic#. Why then let us
fee how the matter Hood in another part of
Scotland : at Gla%ow, for inftanse, here the
population has increal'«i in the proportion of
five or fix to one : I lay there is no ground
for apprehending that the cafe -will not be
the lame in Ireland. There remains
more general argument, and that is, that tiie
loss of their parliament will be the lots of
the protettion to their commerce ; to which
I ai.fwer, that that conjedure is mainly im
probable ; that at prefect they.have the great
est advantages they poller Is, not fr<Jin their
own parliament, but from the mere fiilcre
tion 'of the parliament of this country ; and
that that which has been granted them in
that condition, and separate from us, is not
liktlv to be taken away from them when we
become united ; that it has never been the
policy or cliaradfer of the Britilh legifl.iture
to treat its united friends with any narrow
ness of policy ; and that the north of Bri
tain, although it<has only 45 member* i* this
house, and we . are 513, has never found its
interelts negle&ed ; there arc thole indeed
who aflei't it has more than its due tliare of
favour—l do believe that allegations of that
kind are exaggerations, and that the legisla
ture has attended alike to ail parts of the
Britilk empire : but be that as it may, there
is nothing more clear than that the Union
has produced the greatest of all political
blelhngs to Scotland, as I contend it will to
Ireland; and that this meafurc will be seen
in that light if the clouds of prejudice are
difnuffed. Another ground of alarm ii,
that when Ireland is united to us, it will be
made fubjett to the debt of Great Britain,
and that it will draw upon her all gut al
ledged aifHcult.es and supposed neceliities.
It js not the policy of this -country to ask
for Union upon pecuniary motives. Have
we done so with regard to Scotland ?—Has
any jealousy existed that Scotland was ever
made to bear riiore than its due share of the
public burdens, when we conlider the (hare
it has of* the advantages of the
In truth, our taxation, like all the other
practical effects of our conflitution, is
founded upon the principles of justice.
But, in the event of parliament 2grteing to
this ineafure, I should propofc that, for a gi
ven number of years, the scale of taxation
for Ireland should be so fixed as not to ex
ceed any reasonable bounds to be agreed up
on by both parliaments ; and that at no time
Ihould Ireland be taxed beyond the propor
tion at whisk we fhculd find it neces
sary to tax ourselves. The details are
not now to beconfidered, but if I hate- fuc
ceedcd in {'.lowing that the general policy of
Xf)t
Mr. PITT's SPEECH,
CONCLUDKD.
../them baft ire is good, the hoiife wilt agree
with me it will be proper that the measure
Ihould be recorded, and presented to ihi par
liameht of Ireland, and left with ttie 111 to
Jtidge whether tfiey its such- as they will
ai&nt to» I think the y are ncceffary f»
the peace and happiness of the peopl? of Ire
-I'aud m particular, as well as conducive to
the general welfare 'of the empire. , I ftiaf!
not enter,into any particular detail now, un-
lets fome»gentlemen jhouldbefire it. How
ever, to avoid objections, J. will read, as
p/rt of my speech, the l'ublhince of what I
mean to move by way of re feint; or.?—the
which, if the house rtiould agree to, I lliould
ptppole laying at the foot of the throne*.to
be presented to the parliament of Ireland
when tWey are more likely than at present to
meet the .general concurrence there ;—in
deed that this fbotild be left to the wisdom
of I lis Majrlly, whose parental J'Ticitude for
the welfare of his dominions w ill induce his
niiijeliy to present it in 4ue season. Upon tliefe
grounds I thall propose the following reso
lutions :
I. 'l'hat in order to ptomote and secure
the eIT-ntial inteieft of .Great Britain and
Ireland, and to conl'olidate the (trength,
power, and rcfources of the British empire,
it v.'il| be adviteable to concur in j'uch mea
sures as may heft tend to unite the Two
kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland, in
to one kin gdom, in such manner, and on
such terms and conditions as may be efta
blittvcd by acts of the respective parli
aments of his maje ftv's said kingdi^ns.
11. That it appearj to this committee
that it would be ht to propose, as the firft ar
ticle, to serve as a balis of the said union,
That the said kingdoms of Great Britain
and Ireland fliall, upon a day to be agreed
upon, be united into one kingdom, by the
name of Tbe United Kingdom of Great Bri
\ tain and -Ireland.
111. That for the lame purpose it appears
-also to this committee that it would be fit to
proppfc) That the succession to the monar
chy and the imperial crown of tfre Fajd unit
ed kingdom lliall continue limited and fettled
in the fame manner as the imperial crown of
the said kingdoms of Great Britain and Ire
land now Hands limited to the ex
isting laws. a;id to tlic terms of the union be
tween lingland a ltd Scotland.
'IV. That for the fame ptirpofe it appears
also to this committee th:*«t it would be fit to
propose, That the said united kingdom be
rrprefented in one and the iame parliament,
to be ftiled, Tfbe Vurliament of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland ; and
that such a number of lords spiritual and
temporal, and such a number of members of
the house of commons, as (hall be'hereafter
agreed upon by ad'ts of the refpettive parlia
ments as aforefaid, (hall lit and vote in the
laid parliament on the part of Ireland, and
shall be fummoaed, chofeti, and returned ia
i'tich manner as (hall be fixed by aft of parli
ament of Ireland previous to the said union ;
and that every member hereafter to fit and
vote ih the laid parliament of the United
Kingdom, shall, until the said parliament
shall cthenvife provide, take and fublcribi*
the fame oath, and make the fame declarati
ons as a'ri by la\V required to be taken, f'ub
fcribed, and made by the members of the
parliament of Great Britain and Ireland.
V. That for the fame purpose it appears
alfoto this comi>»i:tee that it would be fit to
propose, that the churches of England and
Ireland, and the dodhine, worship, diicipline
and government thereof, {hall be preserved
as now by law established.
VI. That for the fame purpose, it appears
also to this committee th:;t it would be fit to
propoie, That hi? majesty's fubjedts in Ire
land, Hull at ".!! times hereafter be entitled
to the faille privileges, and be on the fame
looting in rclpeft to trade and navigation in
ail ports and places belonging to Great Bri
tainy and in all cases with refpsft to .vhich
treaties shall be made by his majesty, his
heirs, or fuccelTors, with any foreign power,
or his m;j. sty's in Great Britain.
That no duty flial. he imposed on the import
or export between Great Britain and Ireland
of any articles now duty free, and that on
other articles there shall be established, for a
time to l>e limited, fueh a moderate of
equal duties, as lh,ill. previous to the union,
be agreed upon and improved by the respec
tive parliaments : fubjeQ after the expirati
on of ftich limited time, to be diminished
equally with refpeft to both kingdoms ;
but 111 no cgfe tobs inerealed: That all ar
ticles which may at any time hereafter be
imported into Great Britain from foreign
parts, (hall be importable through either kirg
dom into the Other, fubjeft to the like duties
jand regulations as if the fame v/ere import
ted dire&ly from foreign parts. That where
any articles, the growth, produce, or manu
facture of cither kingdom, or fubjeft to any
internal duty in one kingdom, such counter
vailing duties (over and above any duties
or import to be fixed as aforefaid) (hall be
rmpofed as (hall be necessary to prevent any
inequality in that refp«&. And that all o
ther matters of trade and other
than the foregoing, and that such ethers as"
may before the. union be specially agreed
upon for the due eucouragemeut of the agri
culture 3i»d mauufaftares of the refpc&ivc
kingdoms, shall jemain to be regulated from
time to time by the united Parliament.
VII. That for the like purpose it would
be. fit to propose, That the charge arifi: g
from the payment of the interelt,
fund, for the reduftion of th.- principal o:
the debt incurred iu either ki>gclom befor*
the Union, (hall continue to be separately
defrayed by Great Britain and Ireland ref
pe&ively ; that lor a number of years to be
limited, the future ord : nary expencis of ihe
Uni eu Kingdom in peace or war, shall be
'defrayed by Great Britain and Ireland,
1 jointly, accordi: sr to luch proportions as
I fhail be ellabtifhed by t! e • relpeftive parlia
ments previ iu; to the union j that after
the k-xpiraiio'.i of 'he time o e {'• lim ted,
the pi portion lhailr.i t be liable to be vari
ed, ixrept accordi g to luch rules and prin
ciples as Shall he in like owner agreed upon
previous in the Union.
Vill. Thattor the likepurpofe, it would
be fit to propose, That all laws in at"
the time of tl>e trim, and all the courts of
civil or tcck'fi iftical jui ifdiftions withfn the
refptili'-e kingdoms, thai! remain as now by
law ellabiifhcd within the fame, fubjeft on
. ly to such alterations or regula.tions from
time to time, as citcumllances may appear
to the Parliament of the United Kingdom
to require.
That the foregoing refutations be laid be
fore his majesty, with an humble address,
a (Turing his majesty that we have proceeded
with the utmolt attention to the considera
tion of the important odjedts recommended
to us in his majesty's gracious meflage.
That we entertain a firm persuasion that
a complete and entire Union between Great
Britain and Ireland, founded on equal and
liberal principles—an the similarity of lawß,
constitution, and government, and a sense
of mutual imerefts and affections, by promo,
ting the security, wealth, and commerce of
their refpe&ive kingdoms, and by allaying
the diftraftioHS which have unhappily pre
vailed in Ireland, mull afford frefli means of
opposing at all times an effectual refinance
to tljf deftru&ive proje'fts of our foreign and
domestic enemies and mult tend to confirm
and augment the {lability, power, and re»
sources of the empire.
Impressed with these confid.rations, we
feelit our duty .humbly to lay before Itia m*.
jc fly such propositions as appear to u».bcs
calculated to form thebafis of such a fettle
ment r leaving it to liis majesty's wisdom, at
such time and in such manner as hia majesty
in fail parental solicitude for the happiness
of his peopls, fliall judge fit, to comir.u.>i
cate thofcpropofiuonf, to his parliament of •
Inland, with whom we fliall be at all time* '
ready to concur in alt such measures as may
be fousd most cpnducive to the acco.-np'.i(h
ment of this great and salutary work. Arid
we trust that after full and maiure co' fics
lation, such a feulement may be framed and
established by the deliberative coiifent of the
parliaments of both ki • gdoms, as may be
conformable to the sentiments, withes and
real intcreih -ffcis mdjt sty's fu'thfu! fnf jed•
in Great Britain ar.d Ireland, ai d may unite
theifl inseparably in the full of
the bleflingb of our free and invaluable con-
ilitution, in the r uppurt of the horour and
dignity of his majesty s crown, and in the
preservation and advancement of the welfare
ant? prosperity of the whole Britilh empire.
This is tliefubftanc! of thead refsl fhotild
propose to accompanv the measure—a uica
lure which I think will conduce to the wel.
fare of the British Empire at large. With
a view of dilcuffinjr the fubjeft regul rly, I
(hall now move «' That his iVlajeity's Gra
cious Message be referred 'a the onfi era-
ion of a Committee of the whole House."

The multip'ied ails of aggrefiion which
the French has allowed to take
place, and even openly carried into execu
tion, againfl: a pretended Ally, would have
long ago brought on the prolecution of an
open war between France and the United
States, Were not the Navy of the former an
nihi'lated, and that of the latter oi:ly in its
infancy. The hypocritical atfeftstion of a
pacific disposition, at the fame time that ho.
(tile meafmes are carried on, affords a flri.
king inltanc'e of the perfidy of the Execu
tive Government of Fiance, and is exposed
in its true colours in the admirable fptech
delivered by the President of tie United
States to both Houles of Congress. The
necefiity of extending and invigorating the
measures of defence on the part of Am rica
and of obtaining a full redress of the grievan.
ccs which have occalioned the rupture be
tween both powers, forms the Irading con
sideration of this speech, which is not less
remarkable for the wifdftm and vigour of
the means it recommends, than for dignity
and moderation of language.
