The efFeds of lenity in the other inftance recurred to, which was that of Minorca^ were more promifing ; and the cafe was more in point than that of Ireland. The inhabitants of Minorca were originally Spaniards^ and hoftile to England. They had been permitted the full enjoyment of their religion and properties, from the ceffion of the ifland to Great'Britain by the treaty of Utrecht to the prefent hour : and, although we have had two wars with Spain in that time, and the ifland has once been co...n- quered by France ; the inhabitants have fhewn no impatience under the EngUfi government, nor have they been found to invite or abet an invafion by their former I ( ^7 ) former foTereign, or any otlicr Roman catholic prince. It is true, little profit has hitherto accrued to Kngland from the poflefTion of that illand ; for it has never been at- tempted to be made a colony, nor has any civil government been eftablifhed there ; no adminiftratlon, before the prefent, having had fufficient leifure, or been fo zealous for the public welfare, as to engage in an undertaking, which, it was eafy to forefee, muft (like the ^ebec bill) occafion much clamor, and furnifh a topic for oppofition to declaim upon.
