It was moved,
Motion for a Vote of Censure, relative to the Treaties with Russia and Hesse Cassel:
"To resolve, That it is the Opinion of this House,
That the Two Subsidiary Treaties lately concluded
with the Empress of Russia and the Landgrave of Hesse
Cassell respectively tend to involve this Nation in an
expensive and ruinous War upon the Continent, to
consume our Strength and Treasure, and to divert us
from the Exertion of our utmost Efforts for the
Defence of these Kingdoms, threatened with Invasion, and for the Recovery and Protection of our
Possessions in America, encroached upon, and actually
invaded, by the Arms of France."
Which being objected to;
After long Debate thereupon:
The Question was put, upon the said Motion.
It was resolved in the Negative.
Protest against rejecting it.
"Dissentient.
"1st, Because, though it was urged in the Debate
on this Motion, that the Subsidiary Treaty with the
Empress of Russia had a pacifick Intention, I apprehend, its Operation may prove fatally the Reverse of
so prudential a View; the Clauses it contains, of
Free Quarter and Prædatory Devastation, rather
denouncing Hostility, than speaking the equitable
and conciliating Language of Peace.
"2dly, Because, in the late War, the Troops of the
Landgrave of Hesse, levied at the Expense of this
Nation, and duly paid their stipendiary Hire, in violation of Fæderal Faith, engaged themselves in the
Service of the Emperor Charles the Seventh, then in
Arms against the Cause maintained by the British
Standard.
"3dly, Because an Event may happen, which may
make the Protestant Succession in these Kingdoms
not the Object of the Wishes, or considered as the
Interest, of a Landgrave of Hesse.
"4thly, Because I am convinced, that a proper
Exertion of our Strength on the American Continent,
and a steady Pursuit of the vigorous and laudable
Conduct of our Naval Force, will enable us to
dictate Terms of Peace to the Court of Versailles; and
as firmly believe that a War on the European Continent must soon reduce us to implore them.
"Talbot."
Then it was Resolved,
Resolution that the Treaties are prudent and seasonalbe Measures.
"That it appears to this House, that the Treaty
entered into between His Majesty and the Empress
of Russia, signed at St. Petersburg, September 19/30th,
1755, and also the Treaty entered into between His
Majesty and the Landgrave of Hesse Cassell, signed at
Hanover, June 18th, 1755, are prudent and seasonable
Measures in the present Conjuncture of Affairs, and
highly conducing to the Support of the true Interests
of His Majesty and His Kingdoms."
