The  present  treaty  was  so  directly  in  the  teeth  of  the  evidence
g^ven  by  the  manufacturers  at  the  bar  of  the  house,  when  the
Irish  propositions  were  under  consideration,  that  he  presumed
when  the  negotiator  of  the  treaty  returned  to  his  duty  in  that
house,  he  would  publicly  declare  his  conviction  of  the  error
of  almost  every  one  of  the  opinions  which  he  had  maintuned  (»
that  memorable  occasion.  He  supposed  this  right  honourable
gentleman  had  sent  circular  letters  round  to  the  manufacturers,
and  declared  he  had  not  abandoned  one  of  his  commensal  doc-
trines, though  he  had,  pro  hoc  vice,  adopted  new  ones;  and
made  the  treaty  turn  upon  those  new  commercial  sentiments,
of  which  he  had  probably  informed  his  friends  of  the  chamber;
and,  at  the  same  time  had  said,  that  he  would  renounce  them
when  he  came  back  to  England.  He  hoped  that  he  should
hear  no  more  of  a  charge  of  confidence  and  ignorance  from  the
right  honourable  gentleman,  who  must  be  confident  and  ignorant
beyond  all  example,  if  he  thought  that  no  more  resolutions  were
necessary  to  be  moved  on  the  treaty  with  France.  To  convince
him  that  there  were  various  additional  resolutions  necessary,  he
would  bring  down  a  string  of  resolutions,  and  submit  it  to  htm
and  to  the  house,  whether  they  were  not  absolutely  necessary
to  be  moved  in  a  committee.
