DEBATES in the Senate of LILLIPUT. (Continued from p. 524.) Continuation of the Speech of Juan T B C HE very Reason why this Motion ought to be agreed to, is be- A caufe thefe Papers relate to a Negotiation that is ftill in Dependance. Had the Negotiation, Sir, been finished, the Reafons for cur agreeing to this Motion would not have been near fo strong with me as they are now. But, Sir, Ï have not heard yet any one Roafon advanced by the Hon. Gentlemen who fpoke on the other Side of the Quetion, why the just Expectations of the Senate and the People have not been answered, and why we are not at prefent in a State of Certainty with regard to our Differences with Iberia; why we are not carrying on either a vigorous War, or reaping the Advantages of an honourable Peace. Thefe, Sir, are Confiderations that offer to me, previous to all other Confiderations: When once, Sir, the Senate is fatisfied in these Points, it will be eafy for us to come to a Refolution as to every other Point that relates to this Affair. But these, Sir, are Points we never can come to the Knowledge of without our feeing, in the first Place, the Papers now moved to be addreffed for. I fay, Sir, in the firft Place; for if our Admirals and Captains have D E had no Orders to act with Vigour; if our Confuls and Governors have had no Inftructions to ftand by the Rights of this Empire at all Events; if they have been inftructed, Sir, to wink at the Calamities of their Fellow-Subjects, and, as many fufpect, to connive at the Barbarities inflicted on them; then, Sir, the Houfe must be led into another Enquiry, by what Means it has happened that fuch a Conduct has been obferved. We are then, Sir, no longer to wonder why the Iberians have not been brought to do us Juftice, and why our Merchants are fill expofed to the Infults of their Enemies. If, Sir, there had been any Comparifon betwixt the Strength of the Enemy, and the Forces furnished to the Government, to chaftife their Infolence; If the Iberians, Sir, had had the leaft Pretext in Juftice or Equity for the Barbarities inflicted on the Subjects of this Empire, fome Excufes might have been pleaded from the Imprudence of our hazarding the Strength and Reputation of the Nation on a doubtful Event; fome Excufe, Sir, might have been pleaded from the Injuftice of fupporting Claims that are inconfiftent with Treaties and the Law of Nations. But, Sir, fince we are as evidently fuperior in Strength, as in the Juftice of our Caufe, the Reafons of our Forbearance fince laft Seffion, and of our accepting this Convention, must be attributed to fome Caufe of which the Do you confent earnestly to entreat your Lord Mayor to call a Common Council with all convenient Speed, in order to contider of a mott dutiful and loyal Addreis to his Majelly, on the prefent State of the Kingdom?" A The Lord Mayor did not think fit to put the Question, but on the general Requeft of the Hall to have it put, he affured them that he would call a Common Council for the Purple mentioned in the Question on any Day themfelves thould appoint; which was agreed to be on Tuef- 8 diy the 8th. Then the Lord Mayor, fuppofing Business over, gave Orders to adjourn; but Sheriff Heathcote addreffing my Lord Mavor, and the Hail difapprov ing of the Adjournment, he again feated himself, and the Sheriff proceeded to repeat the Realons he had the Day before made ufe of, and then proceeded thus: C Though during the short Interval from the firit fettling the Negative in the Aldermen, no Inftance can be produced of the actual Abuse of it, give me leave to fay, that an Attempt to abuse it is a fuficient Warrant for endeavouring its Repeal, and that, if we flay till it is abufed, 'tis poffi- D ble the first Abuse will prevent all future Efforts for Reares. For not to fecure ourferves against the ill Effects till we feel them, is like thutting the Stable Door when the Steed is ttolen.~~But E Common Council, or the major Part of them; do you, Good Men of the Live ry, now require and inftruct the Right 'Honourable Micajah Perry, Efq; Lod Mayor, Humphrey Parfons, Efq; and Alderman, Sir John Barnard, Knt. and Alderman, and Robert Willimott, Efq; and Alderman, your four worthy Reprefentatives, to use their most strenuous Endeavours for repealing the faid 'Claufe?' Mr Sheriff having read his Queftion; many Queftion! that heard him, cryed out the Question! the and were feconded by thofe at too great a Distance to understand what was read or faid. Upon this a Debate arofe between the Lord Mayor and the Sheriff, the Liverymen at Intervals ftill repeating their Demands for the Question; when the Lord Mayor at length acquaint them, that tho' he did not think proper to put this Question in Form, becaufe neither himfeit nor any of the Officers present could remember a Precedent of this Sort, yet he ftill confidered the general Senfe of the Common Hall to be in Support of the Question; that he thought himself fufficiently inttructed thereby, and doubted not but the other City Members would be of the fame Opinion. Then turning to the Sheriff, he complained That the not acquainting him previously of this Affair was a Difrefpet to the Office he held; and thus to embarrass him with Points of a popular Nature, without giving him Time to reflect on their Tendency and Impor tance, appear'd to be the Refult of a premeditated Defign to injure his Character. if the Chizens are difpofed to difannul this Power, the only Method of promoting this good Work must be by the Instructions of the Common Hail to their Reprefentatives; for were these brations moved for in Com mon Council, besides the Exception of Self- The Sherif reply'd, He was extremely Intereft, they might be told that as they forry that his Lordthip thould fufpect him are not the Electors of our Reprefentatives of a Defign fo far from his Intentions, the have no Right to fruct them; and fo contrary to that fincere Regard he and the Alderinen would no doubt with ever profes'd for his Lordthip's Virtues; their Negative in Quction quafh all Pro- F and particularly for his Zeal and Steadi ceedings to abridge their Power. Should the nels in the true Intereft of his Country Reprojntatives themselves proceed on their in Parliament; and begg'd his Lordship own Judgment, a Paffion for popular Aɔ- to believe that the neglecting previoudy plaufe weight be objected to them. So that to concert this Affair with him did not the mot effectual, nay, only practicable Me proceed from any Motive perfonal to his thod of Proceeding in this far, is by Lordship, that he should be faristy'd with taking the Opinion of the Common Hall declining his Motion; but that he might bare affembled. I have therefore drawn up G not be thought to have exerted himielf the following Question, which I move may be on this Occafion with more Eagerness put by the Common Cryer or Common Serjt. than the Importance of the Matter requir'd, he must beg Leave in Defence of his Character, to point out the extreme Mifchiefs to which the Power of the Ne. gative might one Day expofe not only the City but the Nation; that addreffing the Legislature or Throne was the only Means to defeat any pernicious Schemes against the Liberties of our Country, was well We cas by a Claufe in an Act of the * 11th Year of King George the Firth, for regulating Elections within the City of London, &c. it is enacted, That no At, Order, or Ordinance, whatsoever, hall H be made, or paffed in the Common Coun cil of the jaid City, without the Affent of the Mayor and Aliermen prefent at fach kno wn |
