The House (according to Order) proceeded to take
into Consideration His Majesty's most Gracious Speech
from the Throne at the Opening of this Session, and also
His Majesty's most Gracious Speech from the Throne on
Tuesday the 19th Day of January last.
And the same being read by the Clerk:
Motion for a Resolution against carrying on the War in Germany:
It was moved, "To resolve, That it is the Opinion
of this House, that the War at present carried on in
Germany is necessarily attended with a great and
enormous Expense; and that, notwithstanding all the
Efforts that can possibly be made, there seems no Probability the Army there in the Pay of Great Britain,
so much inferior to that of France, can be put into
such a Situation as to essectuate any good Purpose
whatsoever; and that the bringing the British Troops
Home from Germany would enable His Majesty
more effectually to carry on with Vigour the War
against the United Forces of France and Spain, give
Strength and Security to Great Britain and Ireland,
support Publick Credit, and, by easing the Nation
of a Load of Expense, be the likeliest Means, under
the Blessing of God, to procure a safe and honourable
Peace."
Which being objected to:
And a Question being stated thereupon;
After Debate;
The previous Question was put, "Whether the
said Question shall be now put?"
It was Resolved in the Negative.
Protest against rejecting it.
"Dissentient.
"1st, Because, the main Question being so true in
every Particular, which was assented to by most of
the Lords who spoke in this Debate, and no Arguments being alleged that it was unconstitutional, the
previous Question should not, in the present Case,
have been insisted on, as thereby Lords were debarred
from laying before the Throne their Sense on a Matter of this Importance.
"2dly, Because, in the Debate, there was no Shadow of Argument used to shew the Impropriety of
this Question being brought before the House at this
Time, or that it was prematurely undertaken by the
Lord who moved it: On the contrary, it was proved,
by irrefragable Arguments, that if the Measure was
right to be done, no Time should be lost in bringing
the British Forces Home during their Winter Quarters, which was the only Season when it could be
done with Safety, and without any possible Impediment from the Enemy.
"3dly, The present Situation of the War, by the
additional Weight of the Crown of Spain being
thrown into the Scale against us, doth undoubtedly
require, at this very critical Time, the utmost Frugality, towards easing the Nation from any unnecessary
Expense: And as the present War in Germany is indisputably carried on at a great and enormous Expense, and, in the general Conception of Mankind,
without any Possibility of any Good being reaped
from it, it seems the undoubted Right of every Lord
of this House to submit to Parliament his Opinion
against a longer Continuance of such Measures as
have already proved so detrimental to the Publick, by
involving this Nation in an additional Debt of near
Six Millions Yearly, without serving any One British
Purpose, or even supporting with Efficacy those
Countries for whose Preservation it has been
pretended these immense Supplies have been
granted.
"4thly, A Continental War, carried on in Germany
without Allies, and at the sole Expense of Great
Britain, whilst this Nation is involved in a War with
the Two most considerable Maritime Powers of
Europe, cannot be esteemed a System of true Policy;
as France, let the Success against her Arms be ever
so great, is not vulnerable from that Quarter; and
Spain, on account of her Distance, would doubtless
not be intimidated by the Success of the British Arms
in Germany.
"5thly, The Expedience of the present Continental
Measures cannot be justified, either on the Principles
of its being a War of Diversion of the Forces of
France from the invading His Majesty's Dominions
or the succouring their own Colonies, both of which
they are incapacitated from doing, by the Ruin of
their Naval Force; neither can it be alleged as a
Measure calculated to support the King of Prussia,
who is not at War with France, nor in Danger,
though the British Troops should be withdrawn, of
being crushed by that Power, whose Interest will undoubtedly restrain her from taking a Step which
could only tend to the Aggrandizement of the House
of Austria, the ancient and natural Rival of the House
of Bourbon.
"6thly, The present great Scarcity of Specie, and
the low State of the Publick Funds, renders it the indispensable Duty of this House, to suggest to the
Throne every Means of preventing an unnecessary
Profusion of the publick Treasure; more especially
when the Payments that must be daily made, and
which must be done by the Exportation of Bullion,
must unavoidably cause such a Stagnation of Trade
and Industry, as may be of the most fatal Consequence to this Country, which can in no Degree be
compensated for on the ill-grounded Notion, that the
Expenses of the Enemy are equally great and burthensome to them; which is not only denied, as it
can never be proved, but is moreover exploded by
this undeniable Truth, that France, by withdrawing
her Troops, can put an End to it whenever she
pleases, and without any Danger to herself of being
attacked by an inferior Army on her own Frontiers
on that Side; and which, as she has not yet done,
is a sufficient Proof of the Truth of this Proposition.
"7thly, The agreeing to the Resolution proposed
could be in no Degree construed as a Breach of Faith
to our Allies, or a Stain to the Honour of the Nation,
as we are bound by no Treaties to keep an Army in
Germany; and the War on that Continent seems to
have been entered into voluntarily by us, without
being called upon by any other Powers, and most
precipitately taken up again, when it had been so
happily extinguished by the Convention of Closter
Seven.
