LONDON, January 27.
HOUSE of COMMONS.
MONDAY, JAN. 26.
MR. GREY's MOTION FOR A NEGOCIATION
TOR PEACE.
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. Can we look to the efforts of tin
King of Sardinia as the means of success

clarea,_on a former night, when he advised
us to contrail our army, and extend our na
vy, and (hew the wor.d, that we were able'
to maintain a seven years war,' on Principle,
of jofticeand defence ; but the prtpoffcrous
view of destroying the French Go-.'mmem
was equally replete with folly as injntlice and
could be attended with no good cocfequ'nee.
it had been allcdged, that a principle ofnat -'
orial honor was the cause of the War, and*
that it was n'cceffary to repel 'an unjust attack
that none should be attempted in iuture
and thus, having once begun cn a point' of
honor, we were never > flop, whiiil the
means can be afforded 01 continuing it; "for
his part, he thought true national honor con-
Cited in justice ; and, as we had given the
nrlt provocation, it would be perfectly ho
norable to conclude all aniroolity by a rea
sonable negoeiation. It had been thought
by ministers, that it was diJgracefulin this
country 10/ue far peace ; the pre lent quci
tion did not go to that, and :hough, in the
full extent ot his opinion', he thought G
Britain ought to begin, he then oniy at "
tempted to put both countries iri a slate of
negoeiation, and friew no obstacle arose
ifom theprefent Governors of France-—
Hefaid that the French had repealed the
decree of the 19th of November ; by
i which they declared it nbt to be their in
j tent to intenere with the Governments of
! other nations ; and alio, that Ihey would
I not permit other nations to to
, them ; he thought that in honor is w ell as
! justice, Great Britain wai bound to : al
low the example, and to declare in an tn.
equivocal and expiict manner, that th-v
declined any inienerence with the internal
Government of France, "and that fueii Go

-they should recoiled that his hen. friends
advLlcd, before blofcd or treasure had been
exbaufted, that the Republic of France
(hould be acknowledged, but a right hon
gent, had then higher views of policy._l
: f hey also proposed negoeiation when luc
cefs nad given Great Britain a great ad
vantage ; ilill did niimflers refute. Acain
at the enij of lalt Seflion, when we 'had
iome valuable acquisitions, though we had
also some reverses, did his friends propose
a rational negoeiation ; miniiters were de
cidedly agatnlt it: And now the question
ot this night will evince the opinion of
that Houie whether they will negoriste or

hon. gentleman', either ti.l we destroy, the
| French Government, or be reduced to
: a degree of such extreme milery as to be
obliged to negotiate on any terms, and lie
I entirely a: the mercy of the French. 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 ? Until the fertile plains of Lam
