DEBATES in the Senate of LILLIPUT
(Continued from p. 524.)

Continuation of the Speech of Juan
Branard, Hurgolet, from p. 524.

HE very Reason why this Motion ought to be agreed to, is because these Papers relate to a Negotiation that is ftill in Dependance. Had the Negotiation, Sir, been finished, the Reafons for our agreeing to this Motion would not have been near fo ftrong with me as they are now. But, Sir, I have not heard yet any one Reason advanced by the Hon. Gentlemen who fpoke on the other Side of the Queftion, why the juft Expectations of the Senate and the People have not been answered, and why we are not at prefent in a State of Certainty with regard to our Differences with Iberia ; why we are not carrying on either a vigorous War, or reaping the Advantages of an honourable Peace. Thefe, Sir, are Confiderations that offer to me, previous to all other Confiderations: When once, Sir, the Senate is fatisfied in thefe Points, it will be eafy for us to come to a Refolution as to every other Point that relates to this Affair. But thefe, Sir, are Points we never can come to the Knowledge of without our feeing, in the firft Place, the Papers now moved to be addreffed for. I fay, Sir, in the firft Place; for if our Admirals and Captains have

A

D

had no Orders to act with Vigour; if our Confuls and Governors have had no Inftructions to ftand by the Rights of this Empire at all Events; if they have been inftructed, Sir, to wink at the Calamities of their Fellow-Subjects, and, as many fufpect, to connive at the Barbarities inflicted on them; then, Sir, the Houfe must be led into another Enquiry, by what Means it has hap pened that fuch a Conduct has been obferved. We are then, Sir, no longer to wonder why the Iberians have not been brought to do us Juftice, and why our Merchants are ftill expofed to the Infults of their Enemies.

If, Sir, there had been any Comparifon betwixt the Strength of the Enemy, and the Forces furnished to C the Government, to chaftife their Infolence; If the Iberians, Sir, had had the leaft Pretext in Juftice or Equity for the Barbarities inflicted on the Subjects of this Empire, fome Excufes might have been pleaded from the Imprudence of our hazarding the Strength and Reputation of the Nation on a doubtful Event; fome Excufe, Sir, might have been pleaded from the Injuftice of fupporting Claims that are inconfiftent with Treaties and the Law of Nations. But, Sir, fince we are as evidently fuperior in Strength, as in the Juftice of our Caufe, the Reafons of our Forbearance fince laft Seffion, and of our accepting this Convention, muft be attributed to fome Caufe of which

[graphic]

E

the

the Senate ought to be the Judges, and which, I am afraid, the Senate alone can remove. Are we for ever, Sir, to trust to the Courage and Honefty of our Miniftry? Are we never to interpofe, and let his Majefty know the Senfe of the Nation? Have we, Sir, for these 20 Moons paft, ever offered our Advice to the Throne upon any doubtful Exigency? Have we not, Sir, as often as fuch Advice was propofed, been told, that we had no Reafon to doubt the Prudence and Zeal of the Ministry; that it was an Affront upon his Majefty for us to interpose in thofe Points where the Crown, by its Prerogative, was to be the fole Judge? Let Gentlemen, Sir, look over the Hiftory of Lilliput, and they will find that this has been the Language under all corrupted Adminiftrations; this is the Language that has brought on all the Inconveniences which this Empire has felt. This is a Language, Sir, that honeft Ministers never ufe; it is the Language that wife Ministers reject. Honeft Minifters would be glad of having an Opportunity to to take Advice, better Advice, Sir, than it is poffible for them to give; and wife Minifters never think themselves fo happy as when they have the Advice of the Senate to give a Sanction to their Proceedings. A Minifter who acts in Concurrence with the Senate is always fafe But, Sir, no Power or Authority can screen any Minifter, who acts otherwife, from the national Refentment.

The principal Objections to the prefent Motion, feem to me, Sir, to be anfwered by the Gentlemen themselves on the other Side: For while they allow that the Negotiation is unfinished, they allow that the juft Expectations of this House have not been anfwered, or that fome Difficulties, unforeseen by us, perhaps unforeseen by the Minifters themfelves, perhaps impoffible to have been foreseen, have arifen, and have retarded the Course of the Negotiations. Sir, it is for that very Reason we ought to agree to the pref nt Motion, it is for that very Realon we ought either

B

to take the Negotiation out of the Hands of the Ministry entirely, or lend them a helping Hand to fupport it.

On this Account, Sir, I could have wished that Gentlemen had agreed to A the first Motion; because I think it is next to impoffible for this House to tranfgrefs the Bounds of Duty to his Majefty while we act fincerely and difiatereftedly for the Good of his Majesty's Subjects. At the fame Time I think we cannot have too full an Information of all that has paffed betwixt our Court and that of Iberia relating to this Affair. His Majefty, I dare say, Sir, will take it kindly that we ease his Minifters of fome of the Difficulties that this Negotiation has laboured under, and which probably fill fubfift. The Senate, Sir, is his Majefty's great Council, the Affairs of the Nation can be no where fo fafe as when they are in the Hands of the Senate ; and this, I humbly apprehend, is a full Answer to the firft Part of the Hon. Gentleman's Objection to this Motion.

F

As to putting the Iberians on their Guard, I am not fo much either of a Soldier or a Sailor, as to pretend to determine precisely what Weight may be in that Objection: But I have read a little, Sir, and have heard a great E deal with regard to the Management of a War betwixt us and the Iberians: And, fo far as I may be allowed to judge, there is but one Way in which we can poffibly attack them, and that, Sir, is by Sea. We have already fa tally experienced the Effects of a Land War with Iberia. It was, indeed, attended with Glory, it was attended with Succefs; but, Sir, it was attend. ed with an Expence which the People of Lilliput feel to this Day. There fore, Sir, I think it is quite out of the GQueftion to fuppofe that any military Operations of ours against Iberia, which were to have taken Effect by Land, fhould be difcovered by our a greeing to this Motion. It is poffible, H that we may difcover by it, if our Government defign'd to act in earneft against Iberia; But, Sir, I can fee ve ry little Advantage Iberia can reap
