Sivu 50 - In general, though terms, however advantageous, would not secure us against the mischiefs of French fraternity, and the infusions of French principles and morals, yet they would make a little difference, I apprehend, as to the effect which Peace would produce in the feelings of Europe ; as to the air of success and triumph which it would give to the enemy, and of defeat and humiliation, which it would impress upon us ; as to the consequences resulting from thence, even with respect to the propagation...
Sivu 211 - Secretary of State for the Home Department. Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Secretary of State for the Department of War and the Colonies.
Sivu 428 - That an humble Address be presented to his Majesty, praying that he will be graciously pleased to issue a Commission for inquiring into the defects, occasioned by time and otherwise, in the Laws of this realm, and into the measures necessary for removing the same.
Sivu 319 - PITT'S FUNERAL. JANUARY 27th, 1806. MB. II. LASCELLES moved an address to His Majesty that he would be pleased to give directions that the remains of the Right Honourable William Pitt be interred at the public charge, and a monument be erected to his memory in Westminster Abbey.

While that purpose exists, and shall be acted upon, we are at War, call our state by what name you please : and the only question is, whether France cannot work as effectually to her purpose in Peace ; and if Peace is made in a certain way, infinitely more effectually than she can in what is professedly and declaredly War. I would really wish to ask,...
Sivu 79 - ... the heroic part, or what they would point out as the subject of their panegyric ? Is it possible that they can hold out to us, as an object of admiration, the character of a man whose merit, whatever its amount may be, must in kind be that of a soldier and a conqueror; whose sole occupation has been war; the foundation of whose fame and power was laid wholly upon military exploits, who unites in himself all that these persons would profess to abhor in an Alexander and a...
Sivu 78 - Barine, nocuisset unquam, Dente si nigro fieres vel uno Turpior ungui, Crederem. Sed tu simul obligasti Perfidum votis caput enitescis Pulchrior multo, juvenumque prodis Publica cura. Expedit matris cineres opertos Fallere et toto taciturna noctis Signa cum caelo gelidaque divos Morte carentes.
Sivu 34 - And, with this in our handsi let us consider, in what so very violent a degree, the present armed truce, or Peace, if you choose to call it so, differs from what might have been our state, in the case so much dreaded and deprecated, of a continuation of the War. To take the last first, — the loss of national wealth by the interruption given to commerce and industry ; such is the singular nature of this War, such the unexampled consequences with which it...
Sivu 78 - But it is of great use in another view, to point out to notice, such parts of the history of the First Consul, as those which we have been speaking of. It is of consequence to know, who it is that particular persons admire. If it be true, that a man is known by his company...
Sivu 259 - ... acts passed in the two last sessions for the defence of the country, and to consider of such further measures as might be necessary for that purpose.
