Sir, the very principles which this Houfe, with- &ut knowing one word about the matter, has condemned -, the principles, which when carried into practice, procure an annual fub- iidy of fifty lacks from the Nabob, which pays the expence of one- third of our army. I hope the Houfe will excufe me, if upon this fubjecl: I mould a little forget the mo- deration that becomes me ; but the contra- dictions are fo palpable, that I own, 1 am }oft in aftonilhment, when I refle4| upon them. Let not the Ho...ufe be difpleafed with ( 31 ) \yith me for laying facts fairly before them, Thofe are to blame who have abufed the generous confidence which this Houfe. Placed in them, Sir, I hope I fljall not be accufed of difrefpect to the- Houfe of Commons. I call God to witnefs I mean It not.
