My lords, the address proposed, like the speech itself, is of avery complicated and intricate kind, and comprises in a few words manytransactions of great importance, crowded together with an artfulbrevity, that the mind may be hindered by the multitude of images, from a distinct and deliberate consideration of particulars. Here areacts of negotiation confounded with operations of war, one treatyentangled with another, and the union of the Hanoverians with ourtroops, mentioned almost in the sam...e sentence with the Spanish war. This crowd of transactions, so different in their nature, so variousin their consequences, who can venture to approve in the gross? orwho can distinguish without long examination. I hope, my lords, that I shall not be charged with want of candour, insupposing the motion not to be an extemporaneous composition, but tobe drawn up with art and deliberation. It is well known, that theaddress is often concerted at the same time that the speech iscomposed; and that it is not uncommon to take advantage of thesuperiority which long acquaintance with the question gives those whodefend the motion, above those who oppose it.
