Treaty of Subsidy with the King of Poland considered:
The Order of the Day being read, for taking into
Consideration the Treaty between His Majesty the King
of Great Britain and their High Mightinesses the States
General of The United Provinces of the Low Countries
on the one Part, and His Majesty the King of Poland
Elector of Saxony, on the other Part, concluded at Dresden, the 13th September, 1751, N. S.
The Copy of the said Treaty was read.
Motion for an Address concerning it rejected.
Moved, "That an humble Address be presented to
His Majesty, most humbly to represent, That this
House, having taken under their most serious Consideration the Treaty between His Majesty and their
High Mightinesses the States General of The United
Provinces of The Low Countries on the one Part, and
His Majesty the King of Poland, Elector of Saxony, on
the other Part, concluded at Dresden, the 13th Day
of September, N. S 1751, and which was by His
Majesty's Orders laid before this House, do conceive,
that Treaties of this Kind, as being Subsidiary, ought
not to be entered into in Time of Peace, unless upon
the greatest and most pressing Emergencies, more
especially at this Time, when the Nation is but just
freed from a long and expensive War That the said
Treaty doth not seem to this House to be founded
upon an absolute Necessity, without the obtaining of
which the Interests of this Nation can be justly supposed to suffer, and that this Treaty doth not appear
to them a probable Means of obtaining any real Advantage to Great Britain."
After Debate;
The Question was put, upon the said Motion.
And it was Resolved in the Negative.
