Mr. Grey said, he rose in confluence of a notice which he had given on a fubfeS of the greatefl importance on which that House had ever exercised its deliberations ; jt was not a mot ioc in opposition to'this or that set of men, or defcriptionof persons, it was one on which the very existence of this country depended ; they were to decide on no matter of political animosity ; but as the faithful and genuine re presentatives of the people, to exercise the functions of jurymen upon the lives of thou sands of their countrymen and fellow-citizens; two years of war had elapsed, and though it had been conduced with many fucceffcs, and numerous disasters, both equally contributed to spill the blood and exhaufl the treasure of Great Britain; the genius and industry of the country were cramped ; near sixty thousand of its lives loft, and an increase of national debt (before monftrousand alarming) of near ly 70 millions, certainly much more than 50 millions sterling. On a fubje& of such mag nitude, of so hazardous and uncertain issue, too long notice could not have been given to the House. When firfl he gave notice that he would bring that motion before the House, a Right Hon. gentleman (Mr Pitt) declared his opinion u that the Government which we could treat with on the best terms of security, would be a Monarchy established in France, upon something like the old monarchical go vernment of that country ; but' that circum stances might make it expedient to treat even with a Republican Government; but that we were not in such want of resources, and ab fencc of all hope, as to make it then neccffa ry to treat with the present governors." He thought such an opinion alarming from a Mi niller, who had the chief diredion of the af fairs of Governme nt, but as he did not believe that the House had yet given fanetion to that opinion in its full extent, it would be deter mined by the diviiion of that night, whether ! they adopted and confirmed his sentiments. The point then before the House was d-*ar, simple, and intelligible ; and the Right Hon. gentleman was pledged to a vote on the ques tion. He considered that House must feel the neceflity of avoiding all ambiguity, and de clare to the people, freely and frankly, to ob tain what objeds, and upon what grounds they were to vote away their money, and Sa crifice so many lives ; and he coniidq-ed it not only necelfary to be explicit with the people -of with the people of F ranee, ; *•—; wiicuici UK QX the British nation were tbofe of ambition and aggreflion, or of juflice and felf defence ; or whether it was intended to be carried to the extent of a war of extermination. He said, that in his opinion, it was the duty of the Bri tish 'nation to negociate with France ; yet had he only proposed, and so far only was the ten dency of the present motion to put France and England in a negociable state ; to fliew that negeciation under the present exiftiilg'cir cumftances was not unadvifeable, and that the pre ent form of the French Government was considered by this country as no bar thereto. In former wars we were aquainted with the fpecific objecfts to be attained—why undertak en—and why continued. In the process of former wars we had considered th« effefi of past endeavours, and looked to ajufl probabi lity of success in future ; but in this war no thing was known ; all was involved in uncer tainty ; it was this uncertainty he wished to remove by the motion of that night. He ho ped the House would make no referer ce to their former decisions, which would fliut up and foreclofe the fubjeil. Mr. Grey here ob served, that in December 1791, that House hadprefented their thanks to his Majesty for not interfering with the internal government of France, and sol* prtferving a Uriel neutral ity ; and that when a Republic was afterwards eitablilhed, the House was not of opinion, that it wasimpoflible to keep in friendlhip with them ; and he declared he knew of nothing which had happened fincc to alter the opinion of the nation, tinlefs we have adopted a war of extermination, as was the opinion of an hoii. gentleman before he was in office. We had, in a haughty and peremptory manner, sent away one Minister and refufed to receive another, and when in consequence, they de clared war against us, we took up arms with out having Hated any terms on which it might be avoided. He contended that the existence of the present governmeut of France was not deflrudive to the Eitglifh government, and that we ought to consider whether a continu ation of the war is more likely to be attend ed with the dtftrudion of their government or with our own ruin. He did not think it ueceffary then to enter into the principleof our right to interfere in their government ; he would not lay that cases may not happen where one government may interfere with a ■other ; but he would maintain, that as a ge neral proposition it must be allowed, that pe remptorily to didate to any State, what form 1 of government it Ihall adopt, is a violation of (the independence to which ail nations have a right. He would not, nor did he wilh to bring before the House the melancholy scries of events, which prove nothing a« to the ori ginal juflice of the war; they were too recent and too deep in the minds of every body for him to mention them j but'it would be of service that they lhould be considered, in or der that a clearer view may be taken of the prebability of success in future. The hopes of success, as entertained by an honorable gentleman, were founded on the weakness of the French, and the strength and resources of Great Britain, and also on the profped of a counter revolution. He was aftoniihed to hear ■* •>. . , nitrD # fates such grounds of hope advanced Let th»? en ormity of the French system be v \at it may. and nobody was more ready than himfelf t< reprobate the tyranny of their former gover nors, all hopes of a counter revolution were vain and delusive ; the French people, ainidil all their changes, were firmly attached to their Republic one and indivisible. Gentle men had fancied, that the body of the French people were so attached to their ancient Mo narchy, that nothing but fedu&ion could have brought them out of it ; but he asserted, that it was the disposition of the old government, that roused the people to resistance. Where is tfcere an instance (said Mr. Grey) in the his tory of nations, that the people have rebelled against a mild and equitable government, that afforded them due prote&ion—No, it was the abuses and tyranny of the old government, and not the Speculative opinions of u oecono mifts and calculators," which caused the Revo lution, but when the people make a govern ment for themselves, experience 'toadies us that they are not easily contented to relinquiCi it, this must be obvious to all who have seen the American revolution and present govern ment, together with the rife and progress of the French Revolution. If any one contend ed that the people of France were not attach ed to the Republican form of government — when three very important conquests had been made, were they not still united ? When an impression was made on the fide of Alsace, did danger make the people manifeft any other than Republican principles ? When in the South of France we gained Toulon, did a sin gle man come in from the vinces ? May not the event of the infurre&i on in Lyons and La Vendee have inftru&ed Ministers that the people were attached tc their government ? And if they even were indisposed to the existing system, the viol&fr attempt to force a government on them would unite them to a man. He was also decidedly of opinion, that they Wfcrenow more than ever attached to their system, in onfequence of their extraordinary and unparalleled fuc cefles, and the principle of Moderation estab lished fey their present rulers, all which con siderations convinced his mind, that a coun ter-revolution was a matter impoftible to be attained. Mr. Grey contended further>llut the hope ariling from the exhausted state of French finances, was equally groundless and yifionary. He said, Ministers had amused the nation with calculations drawn from the miserable state of their finances, year 2Efl year repeated; afad last year, that house was told, t4iat the French had obtained temporary success by extraordinary means, which rapid ly exhausted the regula*refources of the coun try ; but, contrary to the calculations and de ductions of Ministers, their means havt in creased, and their fuccefTes have been more rapid than any hitherto known in the history of the world. In the year 1777, when the American cOntest was scarce begun, the mi nisters of the day had the like resort to calcu lations, when a Noble Earl (Chatham) tc whom he supposed a Right Hon. Gentleman Would pay some deference, said, 44 that if anj man had the forehead to defend the meafurei of the then existing administration, he should be glad to fee his face." He was then alfc answered by calculations. It was then stated that the war would cost the Americans millions, and that the value of every fort o property in the United States, was stated t< amount to only 33 millions sterling; yet, not withstanding their calculations and predicti ons of its necefTary failure, the Americans seas 3ed all their efforts and belied all their com putations. It had been stated by a Right Hon. gentle. man,that the war cost the French 48o,ooQ0hq which calculation was in his mind, at leail 120,000,000 above the real sum, and yet ii appeared, that at that day, they pofleffed th< immense sum of 600,000,000 sterling, ariling from the sale of lands confifcated to the state btfides that they are adding daily the additi onal resources of whole empires ; the bank of Amsterdam, which had been stated to b< in credit incorporated with the bank of Eng land, and identically the fame, was then ?c their possession. He contended also, thai when a people are united and contending foi their libertfes, their efforts and not be computed upon the narrow scale oi former policy. Every man in France is no\* ready to ftakc his last lhilling in the fupporl of his government. The population of France he observed, was one sixth of that of all J .u ---rope,take away from the remaining five fixthi the fubje&s of all neutral powers ; confide: then the divided, diltra&ed, impoveri(hed and exhausted state of our German allies, acl ing on the narrow line of one boundary a gainst a foe fuccefsfully contending on all the extended limits of its dominions, and draw the conclusion that they can never be conquer ed, though their Commerce may be destroyed, and their liiperfluities retrenched ; yet, while the earth yields fruit from its furface, and can minister to their nec.flities, any attempts to subdue their spirit must be vain and iaeffe<st ual. The resources of Great Britain, he was proud to consider as equal to all our just wants, but inadequate to the contcft. You cannot extort the fame energies from a people to pur sue a war of aggreflion, as upon.a principle of just resistance. Shall we then expeA thai the Emperor is capable of furnilhing the mean; of conquering Francc ? In a memorial to the Circle of the Upper Rhine, he declares, that his troops are destitute of provisions, and that by the favorable as.well as adverse contelti with the enemy, he finds himfelf drained oi men and money, and that his troops ought tc make every exertion to return to their owr country.

Mr. Grey contended, from all tl. le confi • derations, that our means were u.eou.pctem and our objeds unattainable. Re . nplaudtd the opinion that an Hon.

For hi, part he would now vote for nego eiation, because he would not wait to be reduced to such a lamentable condition and commence a teaty for peace, under such disadvantages, when power, means, and relources were gone. He alked, whe ther that House would wait to treat w«h the French until they had conquered as great a pirt of Germany on the other fide of the Rhine, as they had already done on this ?
