He asked whether the advantages of such a peace preponderated over the disadvantages of the war i If the war was renewed, it would be renewed with every possible disadvantage. Scarcely in three glo- rious campaigns could we expect to regain by the sword what we . had ceded by the pen. If the peace continued, the omission, in the treaty of Amiens, of the renewal of all ancient treaties, would be found productive of the most alarm- ing consequences. His lordship concluded a most severe and elabor...ate investigation of the terms of the treaty, by moving that an humble address should be presented to his majesty, ac- knowledging his majesty's prerogative to make yeaee or war, but suggesting the dangerous si- tuation in which the country was left by the late treaty ; and which, testifying the zeal of the house to support his majesty in the main- tenance of his just rights, should express its soli- citude for such an establishment in future, as . might be compatible with the existence of a naval and military force adequate to the dan- gers of the country, &c.
