PROCEEDINGS and DEBATES in the laft Seffion of the Prefent PARLIAMENT; being their Sixth Session. T A HE Parliament met on the 16th of Jan. last, when his Majefty made a moft gracious Speech to both Houfes, (which fee P. 40.) The Commons being returned to their Houfe, and their Seffion conftituted by reading a Bill, Mr. Speaker reported, that his Majefty had made the faid Speech to them; and the fame being read, Hy B--m--y, Efq; Knight of the Shire for the County of C--m--ge, made a Speech, in which he took Notice of the happy Situation of our Affairs both at home and abroad, and that the prefent profound Tranquillity was entirely owing to his Majesty's great Wifdom B and Conduct, by which he had furmounted all thofe Difficulties, which were thrown in his Way by the Enemies of the Nation. That we owed a great many Acknowledgments of Thanks to his Majefty for his prudent and careful Management of our Affairs both at home and abroad; and therefore he would move, That an humble Addrefs thould be pre- C fented to his Majesty, to return bis Maj-ty the Thanks of that House for bis most gracious Speech; to exprefs the Satisfaction of that Houfe at the prefent Situation of Affairs both at bome and abroad; and to affure his Majefty, that that Houfe would with all poffible Duty to bis Majfty, and juft Concern for thofe they reprefented, cbearfully and effectually raife fuch Supplies as D fhould be neceflary for the Honour, Safety, and Defence of bis Majefly, and his Kingdoms; and that in all their Deliberations upon raifing the annual Supplies, and the Diflribution of the Publick Revenues, they would purfue fuch Measures as would most conduce to the prefent and future Eafe of their FellowSubjects; and that in Order to give the neceffary Difpatch to the publick Business, and that their Proceedings might carry with them that Weight and Credit in the Nation which ought always to attend the Refolutions of the Commons of Great Britain, they would endeavour 10 avoid all unreasonable Heats and Animofities, and not fuffer themjelves to be diverted, by any fpecious Pretences whatsoever, from steadfastly pursuing the true Intereft of their Country, which should upon all Occafions be their firft and principal Care. This Motion was feconded by J Kn--bt, Efq; Reprefentative for the Borough of S- d--y in Suffolk, who likewife made a thort Speech in Praife of his Majefty's Conduct, and concluded that he hoped the House would be unanimous in agreeing to the Addrefs of Thanks moved for by the Hon. Member who had fpoke before him. Hereupon Sir ---- B--r--d, one of the Reprefentatives for the City of L--d--n, fpoke as follows. Sir, I fhall always be ready to make all proper Acknowledgments of Thanks to his Majefty; but there are fome Words in the Motion, which I cannot but take Notice of I do not really know, Sir, what the Hon. Gentleman means by the Words, We will endeavour to avoid all unreasonable Heats and Animofities, and not fuffer ourselves to be diverted by any fpecious Pretences whatsoever. hope, Sir, there never were, I hope there never will be any unreasonable Heats or Animofities in this Houfe, nor any fpecious Pretences made use of by any Gentleman who has the Honour to be a Member thereof; at leaft I hope that if any Man shall ever be vain GEE enough enough to endeavour to impofe upon this Houfe, by making Ufe of fpecious Pretences for concealing Defigns which he dare not openly avow, I hope, I fay, Sir, that there will always be in this Houfe Men of Underftanding and Integrity fufficient to expose any fuch Attempt, and to render it vain and ridiculous. But, Sir, If any Gentleman happens not to like what is faid, or what is moved for by another, cannot he oppofe it, and give his Reafons for fo doing, without being guilty of any unreasonable Heat or Animofity, or of making Ufe of fpecious Pretences? I must fay, Sir, that the defiring fuch Words to be put into our Addrefs, to me looks as if the Gentlem were confcious there is fomething to be brought before us in this Seffion, which he forefees will meet with a warm Oppofition; and I hope if any Thing of an extraordinary Nature is to be brought before us, no Gentleman will be precluded by these Words, or by any Words that can be put into our Addrefs, from giving his Sentiments freely on any Question that may occur. any Thing fhould happen to be propofed in this Houfe, which evidently appears to be inconfiftent with the Liberties or the Trade of this Nation, I hope the Indignation of every Man that thinks fo, will rife againft fuch a Propofition, and that he will oppofe it with that honeft Warmth as becomes every Man who has the Happiness of his Country at Heart: Such a Warmth is no unreafonable Heat; it does not proceed from Animosity, but from that honest Zeal which every Man in this Houfe ought to have for the Constitution, and for the Liberties and Properties of the People he reprefents. If A may be added to what the Hon. Gentleman has already proposed. SS--ys, Efq; Reprefentative for the City of W--ce--r. Sir, I am of the fame Opinion with the Hon. Gentleman that fpoke laft; I can fee no Occafion or Neceflity for our faying that we will endeavour to avoid all unreasonable Heats and Animofities, and not fuffer ourselves to be diverted by any specious Pretences. With Refpect to this House, or any Thing that may happen therein, it is never to be prefumed, nor fo much as imagined, that we fhall ever fall into any unreafonable Heats or Animofities, or that we shall fuffer ourselves to be diverted by fpecious Pretences from steadfastly pursuing the true Intereft of our Country. No fuch Thing is ever to be prefumed of any Houfe of Commons; and I think it is as little to be prefumed or expected from this Houfe, as it ever can be from any. I must fay, Sir, that I think it a little ftrange, that this House, after it has fate fo quietly for fo many Seffions; after it has granted fo many and fo confiderable Supplies 3 Cit B D But, Sir, Before I fay any Thing more upon this Subject, I must take Notice of a preceding Part of the Motion made by the Hon. Gentleman: He propofes for us to fay, That we will raife the Supplies in fuch Manner as will most conduce to the prefent and future Eafe of the Subject. Now, Sir, I must take Notice that there feems to be a great Jealousy without Doors, as if fomething were intended to be done in this Seflion, that may be deftructive to our Liberties, and detrimental to our Trade: From whence this Jealousy hath arifen, I do not know, but certain it is that F there is fuch a Jealoufy among all Sorts of People, and in all Corners of the Nation; and therefore we ought to take the first Oppor tunity to quiet the Minds of the People, and to affure them that they may depend upon the Honour and Integrity of this House, and that we never will confent to any Thing that may have the leaft Appearance of being de- G ftructive to their Liberties, or detrimental to their Trade; for which Reafon, Sir, I must move for an Amendment, and that these Words, And fuch as fhall be confiftent with the Trade, Intereft and Liberty of the Nation, feems, I fay, Sir, to me a little ftrange, that we should now at laft, in fuch a parti cular Manner be put in mind of our Duty, and be defired to avoid all unreasonable Heats and Animofities. As for the other Part of the Motion, taken Notice of by the Hon. Gentleman near me, I think the Amendment he has propofed is not only very proper, but that it is at prefent become abfolutely neceffary to add fome fuch Words as he has propofed; and therefore I fecond his Motion. W -m S-pp-n, Efq; Reprefentative for the Bor. of N--n in Lancashire. Sir, I have always been against long Addresses; I am ready enough to agree to an Addrefs of Thanks to his Majefty for his moft gracious Speech; but fuch an Addrefs ought to be in the most concife Terms, and the most general Words: This was the ancient Ufage of Parliament, and I find but few of our old Customs altered for the better: However, if we must go on with the Cuftom of making long-winded Addreffes, I think we ought to take fome Notice of the Spirit that is now among the People. It is very certain, that there are great Fears, Jealoufies and Sufpicions without Doors, that fomething is to be attempted in this Seffion, which is generally thought to be deftructive to the Liberties and Trade of this Nation. There is at prefent a most remarkable and general Spirit among the People for defending their Liberties and Trade, in Oppofition to thofe Attempts they expect are to be made against both: From all Quarters we hear of Meetings and Refolutions for that Purpose; and this Spirit is fo general, that it cannot be ascribed to any one Set of Men: They cannot be branded with the Name of Facebites or of Republicans, nor can it be aid that this Oppofition is made only by Ja sobites |
