It was at best a dangerous and inauspicious concession, demanding every compensation that could be devised, and which the circum- stances of the war entitled us to require. France was still our formidable enemy ; the ambition of Louis was still to be dreaded, his intrigues to be suspected. That an English minister should have thrown himself into the arms of this enemy at the first over- ture of negotiation ; that he should have renounced advantages upon which he might have insisted ; that he sh...ould have restored Lille, and almost attempted to procure the sacrifice of Tournay ; that throughout the whole correspondence, and in all personal in- terviews with Torcy, he should have shown the triumphant Queen of Great Britain more eager for peace than her vanquished adver- sary ; that the two courts should have been virtually conspiring against those allies, without whom we had bound ourselves to enter on no treaty ; that we should have withdrawn our troops in the midst of a campaign, and even seized upon the towns of our con- federates while we left them exposed to be overcome by a superior force ,• that we should have first deceived those confederates by the most direct falsehood in denying our clandestine treaty, and then dictated to them its acceptance, are facts so disgraceful to Boling- broke, and in somewhat a less degree to Oxford, that they can hardly be palliated by establishing the expediency of the treat} Uself."
