MR. PITT'S SPEECH, up r
(Concluded from yc t-irday's Gazette.)
Now if we confidir thisfyftem of prolelyt- j' atl
ism, which is unwearied and inexhauftibie in '
its operation, which accommodates itfelf to Lll
erery opinion, to every prrjudi e, to every
set of men, and trt every form of govern
stent, which is in Sardinia, in Italy, and at £'P
Rome, zeal for Popery ; which is in Egypt rol
leal for Mahametanifm ; which is in India uU
concern for its independence -, which is in
Germany, and in (hort in every country,
the shape and the form which will be more ' P o '
attractive, which has for all its arts of fe- : 1 *
duftion, which opens to all its arms : If we '
cocfuler that such a mighty force is em- j at .
ployed in aid of this system of profelyt fm, 1 mK
and if we add to these that perfidy which cov
knows no bounds, th:it atrocity, aud ex-
tortion, and jjijuftice, and violence, and | '
eruslty, which hare marched forth, to the P^
terror and dismay of Fiance, of Europe,
of the world, ong 1 t we rot to pause before
we conclude that this is a system with which
we ought to negociate ? Is this the system j
with which the learned entlen an has told j
n» that we outht to compromise. while we
have yet the sinews of war, while we have
yet arms in our hands ? I would fk, i» it
Sjainft this that we defend ourselves by ne- !
gociation ? Is it from this that we are to
accept the precarious security of a treaty,
for precarious mud be the security upon j
which any treaty concluded with such afyf
-3 tr . rt *n an
tem, can afford ; or (hail we wait till we
havp seen whetherthis new government wears
the fame charaSeriflic with the p-eccding t
enes, or whether it has really departed from .
the principles by which they were a&uated,
and whether its conduit will be different
fro*i the rs ? Another cßaradteriftic cf the
Fren. h revolution, is the inftabil ty of the
power of the different patties who have
usurped the government ; little hope of good
fai'h could be entertained, to encourage to w
any negociati"ti with France, from the very
natnr and component parts of any of thele j
governments, or from the tendency *f the
which th y avowed. But that
lit tie hope is clone away, when we conhder
that no one has Ufte long enough to give
any feenrity, or even hope, of g *od faith q
t" any tiation wiih whom they are at war, a
The new government is indeed more desti
tute than any that has preceded it. Even
the (hadow of liberty is now totally wrested
from t e people. But all have profeffed
that they were for the worid in ge eral.— r
And even this government has not renoun-
ced the old principle. Every nation has
been told, that the governmc t of France,
however temporary, was the government to
which they wete to be fubjedted. The j
French people have become quite passive un- |
•*- - f—
gain ihe feat of »ut' o ity. When therefore
the fame principles aftua e, is it not pro- l
bable that the fame fate awaits the present !
as the preceding ? And with ths profpeft
of such instability, I would ask again, is it 1
for the advantage and security of this couti- *
try to negociate ? What is the language i•'
that the organ and the head of the new ; c
usurpation used refpeAin? the former rulers '>
of France, when surrounded by the bayonets i f
of the grenadiers on the fc&ffold on which J
be proposed to the people the new consti
tution ? I will use his own language, be 1
eaufe any words which I could adopt could j '
cot more effcdfually express my sentiments.
" It is not d fficult to conceive (said he) '
why peace did not formerly take place. '
The powers then existing proceeded upon
no fixed principle of adion. A continen
tal peace w.is indeed signed, ethers were
proposed, but all these treaties have only
had the effeft of producing more bloody and
more dreadful wars. Before the 18th fruc
tiJ«r all refufed to treat" (here the report,
said Mr. Pitt, is not quite accurate ;) they
did not always refule to treat, but their |
treating was illusory, and could only be i
intended to deceive. «• After the 13th j
Fruflidor, the whole power was vested in j
the hands of the Direflory, and if, from
the little energy, which, from the defeft of
the constitution, it could possess, had not
the power, because it had not the means,
nor the resources, either for making peace
or war.
" Such were, according to the account
cf the prelent rulers, the nature of tlie for
me' government. But a change has taken
place—let us fee what this change has been,
what are the eflie&s it has produced, what
are the motives which it presents, to induce
us to believe that we can negociate with the
new government with greater security thau
with those that preceded it. I (hall eonfid
tr under this double afpeft which my right
hon. friend (Mr. Dundas) pointed out as the
distinguishing features of it, under which it
ought on this fubjeft to be viewed, irt.
The iharg s ofperfons ; and 2dly, The na
ture of the new government. As to the
firft, the change is certainly not so great as
fomr might be led to suppose. We find in
the lift of the piefent rulers, men who have
afted a part in all the differentfcenes. in
all the different horrors and cruelties of the
i revolution. There never was a more com
k pl'-te contempt of all authorities than what
A has been displayed in effefting this change, j
K It was brought about by military powej;. !
I It has ertablifhed a military despotism—Not'
the (hidow of liberty was displayed in its
iroduftjon ; not a relist of liberty has re
>ni its formation. Never was
" arbitrary system ertablifhed ; j
a despotism more dreadful
on. I cannot omit fay- !
.the person in whom!
ofj
security in treaty or m negotiation arises •
from the confideratiorl of his character or ces 1
comsuft ? So much has already been said placi
upon this fubjed, it is unnecessary to take agai
up much of the time, or to exhaust the pa- to
tiet.ee of the house, by diluting at much purl
greater length" upon it. Had theie been zier
Hated upon the throne of France, or at leaf; chu
been in vetted with the royal authority ot pen
France, a man whose charaAer was entirely thai
unknown, whose name had never appeared beei
in the history of the revolution, whose pnn- wr>
ciples, whose views caul.l not be afcertamed c
from his pad conduft, and concerning whole add
1 future views and actions, confeqwently no con
I proper eHimate could be formed. Had we j
' leen such a man inverted with such iniuier.le I '
(powers of legifhtibn, of railing money, c f | but
j difpofirg of the whole force of the nation, |
i inverted with power ef making war or peace <> v
jat his pleasure, with the command a<- ta
' mies, of drawing the whole relources ot the
country to farther and promote his views, j t.'i
and where all liberty of the press, which, by tio
canvafltng measures proposed, limits the 01
power of governors, is abolilhed —I.ad we ' 5
seen such a person in lueh circumstances, 1
fhauld we not have pauled before implicitly 11.
Confiding in a mere perianal assurance of * wi
! sincere desire of peace, bcfi re trading the
1 fafety and honor of the nation upon such a *
(lender security ? But if we have heard of '»>
this than a*id of his fatelliccs, if we have
traced their course through fcene3 as hor- wl
; rible and as detestable as any that the hit- 1 c
1 tory of the revolution, fruitful as it has P c
' i been of horror and enormities, can furnifb,
1 ought we net to be doubly cautions, to bt
suspicious of the ground on whicVi we walk,
and to require fjmething like evidence to
counter balance all former knowledge that
1 vrt derive from pall cunduft ! What do we
■ know of Buonaparte ? With regard to what
1 is alluded to in hit letter to the king, con
cerning his declared and evinced love ot ge
| neral peace, the exprelfion was indeed men-
" m tioncd in his firft letter ; but when he knew
S the declared determination of our cabinet
j not to treat, and their rcfufal On a former j
occasion to Heat, except in conjuuftion I A
0 with our allies, it is fc reely corfifteiit with j
the sincerity of this with for peace, that he
c did not, in the whole course of his second i
s let'er, make a:iy m ntion of his willingnels j
1 to negociate at the fame time with thera.— \. •
r And wlun was his wi!h for peace at all ex-
* pressed ? He mud refer to the treaty of
Campo Formio, immediately after which,
'' as an evidence of his sincerity, as had been
wbferved by his right hon. friend, Mr. Dun- i
j dot, he undertook, and at the very time n
: j when he was probably planing the expe- j
dition to Egypt, which was to strike a
most deadly bl«w at this country ; a»d for
"" what was he recalled from Catnpo Formio ? „
al To take the command of the army of
e ' England, and make a peace with this coun- £
to try, with his army behind him, on the a
le banks of the Thames. Ido not take this a
" merely on report ; I take it from the autho- u
r * Monge and Berthier, who declared to the Q
0 ! 'Directory, in his name, that it was his in- J
tention to proceed immediately agairft Eng- j -
land ! for that now peace was eltablilhed on | j
j t the continent, and the republic ef France ; t
n _ and the confutation of this country could , j
re not exist together. What else dj we know i a
* ;of him ! j c
I How shall we judge of the fidelity of the i c
Tl I i • i 7 . ...
j enga ements which he may enter into wica t
- c
lity to his engagements to his own ? Is it ]
not aa unfair thing to judge a man by such (
y | a criterion ; for how can others expeft that i c
! he will be faithful to them, when he has 1 c
c » proved himf#lf perfidious to it ? His firft ! t
puhiic aft was protefling by an armed c
force, the conftilution of the third year. ,
n I know not how often he wa» sworn to ob- t
re ferre and maintain it, but I can tell of his ;
, making others repeatedly swear to maiu- ■ (
tain it. On the 4th of September on oc- j s
cafion ofhis receiving the sacred pre ent of t
r new banners from the Direftory, he col- j i
' lefted his arm.7 and made them fwe?r and f
e swore himfelf, fidelity to the ]
k e j of the third year ; and, parting clrer other ! >
j crimes in wh>'ch a similar iportuarytof oaths {
■ ! was displayed, on the msruing of the day 1
j which he had defined to close the t
f j overthrow of that constitution, he received t
the oath as a mere bnfinefs of Let ]
n| us go yet a little farther, and loot to the t
' d eadful catalogue of perfidies, treadierous a
breaches of treaties, which are comraenfu- c
]nt rate with the number of treat es made by 1
0) ._ the republic, and which attest the outrages, ■
en horroiS, and crimes of the revolution. ]
en To all or most of these, we shall find the ■
l lat ' name of Buonaparte annexed, a»d with 1
ce them will his name be handed down to |
the P p fi* rit y> *■ l^e principal agent in the de
, au teftai le and fhockiug scene. Let us look , 1
to the cases of Sardinia, Genoa, and Mo- ! 1
T ] lt dena, as examples. With the firft an ar- j 1
miftice was made, a treaty followed ; both
1 ; t were broken ; —a contribution of five mil- ■
lions rttrling was raised, partly by force,
na _ partly by imposing on the religious preju
tjle dice*, call it if yon will, superstition, us the '
:as P to p'f. With a treaty was aifo ;
|j n made, then a conspiracy was stirred up
avf agaiuft the state, which terminated in its
; n final subversion The treatment of Mode
tj,e na was not marked with greater traits ofjuf
,n,_ tice. In Rome every cruelty was perpecra
hat ted, in open violation also of » treaty
g e> j which he himfelf had concluded. The good
er . 1 old sovereign »f that (late was treated with
j ot ' iacrilejriotis cruelty and atrocity. His con-
j tJ du£l to Venice heajx-d up the meafurr of his.
re . crimes, and exceeded in atrocity all thatj
»as ' preceded it. He concluded a treaty with
d.! that state, in order to deliver it from the
ful tyranny of Austria. In violation of this
,y_! solemnly ratified treaty, he stirred up a'con
:,m i fpiracv against the state ; he made immense
0 f requifitioni of money, of fliips and of cloath-
ing for tiis army, in order to save the pala- an
ces from being plundered ; and this very th
place he afterwards agreed to deliver over po
again to Aullria. If we again follow him th
to Egypt, we shall find a similar condutt th
pursued. Mis last officijl paper to the Vi- ip
zier, while he continued theie, contained th
slTurances that he had no delign to make a th
permanent establishment in the coutry, anu w
that his views towards the Porte had ever I
been pacific. Just after this paper was w
written, we find the date of his adiirefs to m
Rleber, oil his quitting the army. In this fe
address, he adviles him to adheie, in his ol
corrimunicitions with the Porte, to the pt
grcund wfiich he himlelf had taken, that he
did n»t mean to keep poffcffion of
I but ot\ oppolite column a different lan- ;it
I is ffcld', and there it appears that th« ; tt
fav rite idea is Hill letained and observed, ; tl
that a favorable opportunity may yet occur i bl
for ettahlifhing a fcttlement in Egypt. In jr<
this addrt-fs too, we find an intention men- ! rr
tioiifd of CQDClwiing a peace with England, J n
or Ume of the other powers, our allies ; but J a
from the way in which it is mentioned, is i ti
there not ground at least for fulpicion, that n
the fame deception was intended to be used c
with them as with the Porte ? Now if such v
are the only ground derived from the char- >'
after of Buonaparte, do they, I would ask, <■
' fanfticn our confidence in his sincerity, cr 1'
affiird any profpeA of security in treating I
with him I Btt another ground is flill fta- j c
ted ; his inttreft in making and observing j t
peace. I will admit that it may be his in- 1
tereft to negqeiate, and even to make a peace c
! —but it is tixtremely doubtful if it is his ?
interefl to m(ike it general, or to prefcrve 1
| it. Could he withdraw England or any of ]
the other powqrs 'rem the coalition, or could <
. he even nuke a temporary peace with all, it i
! would be for his interefl, because this would i
' leave him at liberty to refnme any of his
plans of aggrandizement and conquest, which '
in his prelpnt circumstances, it is impoflible
for him to prosecute. He had the fame in- '
t j ttrell in making a peace of this kind that
■ England has in rejedtmg it. But has he an
a I interellip preferviug it 1 His held on France
} j is by the sword ; by the sword it was attain
i ed, a|id by the sword it must be continued.
He unites in his person and conduft sill that
. ! is defeiled by republicans, all that is hated
| by tfye jacobins, all that it abhorred and ab
: jurec by the royalists. His dependance rc ufl
£ ! then rcll solely upon the sword. He has
' ! said himfrlf, whenever any thing opposes his
'• : schemes, his dependance is upon his fortune,
n j that is to fay, upon the confidence which he
I ! has, in an army attached to him from his
' e military triumphs, and military reputation.
And will he throw awa\ the ftaff on which
3 hejeins, and i\iff;r himfelf, no longer, fup
polled by any party, or any power, to fall a
" pi ty to another more fuccefsful candidate for
fvjiy. Will such a man as this, in such cir
cunftancel, really find it his interelt to make
' e as. lid peace, and to preserve it ?If not, the
" argument, from his intcreft, falls to the
° arr pws;T|Jk» a t ananection, o: leaition, ana
,e | of rebellion, have long been cherilhed for
n " | purp f. s of ambition, by France in Ireland.
E" ; The. pi in is not laid aside. The viewt on
sn j Egypt are still cherilhed ; and will the mo.
deration of the firfl Consul, his love of peace,
j his hatred ofcanqueft induce him to facrifice
,w | at once his own ir.tereft and favorite views
! of ambition, which have continued to be
! cheiilhed since the firft a:ra of the revolu
tion ? This is the argument, from the
change of persons, and here I shall leave it.
lt Is there then fecurity'in the nature of the
government which this change has intre
at | duced ? It is so new a form and so unpre-
II j cedented, that it is difficult to fay w!m will
1 'be the effeft of it. So long «s that close
j corporation which has been named by Buc
| naparte continues under his influenae, it ef
h- ; tablilhes and maintains his power, and his
"* interest will of course dire£t the whale. If
n " i some perfen fhoulci arifc in it who (hall put
c- ! an end to that influence, a civil war must
of necefiarily be pursued. But we must reason
J upon the flafcilitv of the French government
n< l from the (lability of a military Defpotilm.
311 ' He had often heard that the heft security
tr which a government can give to others of its
bs {lability, is tbe security which it gives to it
*y felf: this in a military despotism, mud tver
be be small; in a government springing from
ed the French revolution, it mull be flill less
et In the cftublilhment of the present system,
he the force of opinion has been direttly
ua violated, indeed, it, has been established in
u- direst contempt of it. From this, what is
by the inference ; not that we will never treat
rs, with Buonaparte, but we must wait for ex
in. perience and the evidence of fafts- Con
he vi£lion, in my mind, must be flow in its pro
:th grefs and operation ; every question of im
to pr.rtance, and mere especially one of war and
!e of pjace, must he considered in cemparifon
ok , and degree. If the efforts of France give
;o- 1 more (lability to the present system—is the
ar- j efforts of the allies fliall not produce new
ith ! revolutions, I will answer for rr.yfilf, and
,il- also for those with whom I have the honor
:e, to aft as a servant of the crowii, that our
ju- representations Ihjll not be wanting to the
he Sovereign in favour of negotiation. But at
iso present all the f• ors are one way ; there is
up nothing to promise (lability or give us a pro-
Its fpcdt of security ill treating. Oil the other
le- hand, as to our situation, every probability
us- is, that it will be improved. But a state of
ra- war is alwavs hazardous, and the fortune
ity of war may change and make it worse. I
md speak, however, to wife and prudent men,
ith and wife and prudent men will weiqh proba
>n- bilities, and from existing circumstances, d<-
his t termine what is the-line ofconduft which is
ia: J most likely to be beneficial,
ith " But the honorable gentleman fays, what
;he hopes are to he entertained from-changes ;
his -md he asks whether I -m anxious to compel
>n. the people of France to r< enrr to ri n .ichv ;
ft I never thought, I r.?*c/ '• prd, I ntvei
th" wished this ; but I have th ht, unci hoped.
and wished that the fuseefsful >i ogre fa of in
the Allies would be such, and their arms so wj
powerful as to give eficft to the wishes of tvi
the people of France. For I am fen fib Ic pe
that monarchy can only be restored by the ths
spontaneous willies of the people of France ; Up
that it would be in vain to labor against dei
these, And thit it would be as improper as it ad
would be vain. This experiment, however, ad
lam convinced thar we ought to make. I tin
will not at present state all the grounds of : h<
my entertaining this opinion, but must ob- f o i
feive, that when Fiance law, as my hor.ora- th<
ble friend ft.tted, the power veiled in a firg'e M
person, however alien tnat person was t.. her to
j —aCorfican Adventurer—lhe exprclTcd her- a b
felf happy in the change, and th it hecaule
lit afforded the profpeft of a termin itioti of rel
• the Revolution. We have seen the" war in m(
the welfern parts of France fmotliersd in the th
■ blood of its inhabitants, and we have leen it tai
! renewed—renewed, not as ihe hon. gentle
i men has alferted, by the interference and in- ; an
i trigues of England, but the rooted principle p,
j and attatchment to royalty of those inhabi- _.
j tants, against the wtlhes, and notwithftand
; : ing the dilTuafions of their friends in this
country, who were anxious that they Oiould
i wait for a more favourable period.— 1 rue ,
. it is, that in such circumstances it is our
! duty to refill it :to the qucftion—For what
■ length of time it will be necessary toperfevere.
I can only reply, that on this head no pre- I
cife judgment can be formed ; we ought cer- w
r tainly not to be discouraged too soon, con
. | lidering the import of the fubjeft, and the
: chance of fucrcfs. But to the queftioiif
s whether we Ihould desire to fee Bourbon on
; the throne of France, or Buonaparte in his
f place ? Can there be a doubt in the mind of
I any who lias seen the chara&er of the
t revolution ?Is the last prize in the lottery of
i revolution to be left to fuccefsful adventu- Ii
3 rers ? Are we to fanftion in the prrfoii of
|) this man, all the afts of the revolution, and
e to coafinn the transfer of property which has ' 'J
_ been ore of its consequences, from the law*
t fill proprietors to new hands ? 1 his |
n ment the honourable gentleman has endea
c voured to turn against us, and he lays that
if we mean to attack the transfer of proper
|. ty, it will itfelf prove one of the greatelt
obftaclei in the way of a counter-re vplution, ' j
J But the revolution had been effefted with all .
i_ these circumstances of transfer of property,
ft though of a much higher value than it is at j
ii present. It is a notorious truthj that the
i, confifcated lands of the emigrants have been <
; fold so cheap thit the dereliftion of them by i -
1C the present holder to the former proprietor,
ig for a very small conliderationj might be a !
n, good bargain for both parties. This, there
.h fore is surely a very fuperficial reason to prove '
p. the improbability of counter revolution when
a the original liable unlh.ikcn property of the
or country offered no reliftance to the revolu
r- tion in the firft instance. The honcura
ke ble and learned gentleman has told us of a
he mode of measuring his patriocifin, which is at
he 3 per cents. Few men indeed, have a deeptf rr
na
or ing» in this refpeft, than any three per
d. cetts, he may pcffefi, even supposing the
rn value »f (lock to increase in as rapid a ratio
ic- as it has done during the period in which
:e, meifures have be«n pursued diametrically
ice «ppofite to his opinions. On this tcft of
ws patriatiim the French ha»e performed an
be operation called revolutionizing, that ir,'
lu- cutting off two thirds : they have lately,
he however, afled differeutly, they have chan- j
it. ged three to five per cents. I enquired i
he what might be the saliie «f tbe five perj
re- ceuts, and wis told seventeen per cent. I ,
e- supposed that this meant that the five per ,
ill cent stock fold at a depreciation of seven- I
jsc teen per cent, and I own I was jealous of
Jo- the revolutionary credit ; but upon enquiry
ef- I fonnd that feventcen pounds was really '
hi* the whole value of one hundred pousds of i
If ; this stock. The new hopes conceived from
>ut I the reign of Buonaparte, have adiually rai-
II ft : fed the price of this flock to three and a
on half years purchase.—Such are the tics to -
" nt the revolution, which are pnrchafed by its
m * friends On the fubjedl of (he refloration j
*}7 ps monarchy, wt are to cor.fider that France ;
lts cannot but by the inftrumcnt of the revolu- j
lt " tion in the impaired state in which, thank
' er God, she is, extort money for her yearly j
3m expenditure; herfituatiou in tilt event of
being under tbe power of tbe Bourbons,
m > would be such that a long time must be
fptnt before she can recover the wounds
'. n (he has received. It mull indeed be long
ls under a regular monarch, with a limited !
JIU power, before she could revive. Is the
x " shance of a stable peace, tkerefore greater, j
under a Bourbon Prince or under Buona- |
ro ~ parte, who, for purposes of ambition, fa- |
crifices the little remains of the property of 1
France ? For my part, I fee no possibility of
011 a peace which will allow that intercourse of
'j Ve amity which is an effehtial incident to it. '
As I love peace, I mufl loak for ic in ftcu- j
rity, snnd hor»urable terms ; I must not j
facrifice the permanent intertfts of thetcui:-!
lor ; try —One word jnore I must add on the
negotiation into which his majesty's minis
"a ters formerly entered with the dirtfilory.
We did not do this because a large part of
the nation required it, but bccaufe the gi
gantic system finance and requifitiou which
j was pursued in France, had exhausted the
ordiuary means of supply in this coun
try by means of the funding system, ,
j and bad made new plans neceffary—
en plar.s which I could rot attc mjet to carry
jj a ' into execution without the fuxere con
cuirence of tie people of England ;
t • and it became neceiTaay to shew them
the impo'libility of peace, and the abfulute
j, at ueceflity for luch meifures. The honora
„s . ble gentleman had irdeed given a very dif
, fcrcnt turn to our condud. He represents
, v . us not fincers, because we were aware of
vtfl the dangers that weie likely to ensue from
, et j, peace. But if I thought there wa» danger
in an iropofiibility to eatry on the war, 1
was n»t bound to ftiit my eye» agairtft th»
evil, to prove my sincerity, I did think
peace would have been better at that time
than war, as it must have been carried oil
Upon the old fyftcm of finance ; though in
deed I did irot hope to have derived fucii
advantages from the mtafiires I wilhed to
adopt as I have do«e. But if I felt at that
time the difficulty of pursuing the war from
those circnmftancfs, I cannot now argue
for a riifgraceful corapromife- Such are
the principles upon which His Maje-fty s
Minift«rß have afted ; it is for the Houfc
to judge how.far they are prudent, honor
able and continent. As to the profpeft
when we may attain peace, every month
renders it more probable, because every
month exhaulls still more the finance of
the enemy. Ihe In.ilrity at present is cer
tainly not fol'd, and that co> Operation, and
these motive? "ill, I trull, j ftify us in the
answer we have give, i 'he note of the
French government."
