This is not at all. The omission Your Lordship
might suppose was maiden of proceeded from accident from
misadventure—from indifference.[+] No my Lord it
proceeded from had no such cause. Forasmuchas here Here was not
wanting who at home Matters which known open to a thousand
eyes matters ascertainable other sources have
been made+ public laid open before Parliament and the public
all the while one after another, from by the Treasury
and made to appearance at least without reserve. It is only of this distant invisible
Bastile Colony this immense Bastille at the Antipodes
that the secrets were to remain inviolable incontestable. Men
were not wanting (I must beg Your Lordship
to be satisfied in the this point present occasion with any impersonals)
men I say were not wanting—such as were in the end
to be listened to and would have been listened to
on topics less intolerable—Men of this description were not wanting to give hints about such
communications, and were if any good had been
to be expected from it, to call for them in Parliament.
My Lord, there was such sourness—
and that so ill-disguised or even without if ever there was so much
as an intention of disguise—it was an experiment
not to be made. Might not some such
mention be made, is it not in effect no more matter
of course? Was there any objection to it in 1792?
—Oh, yes, might and ought to be made, who no doubts of it
together with as well as a thousand other things that never can be made. But it is
not for you to know—what we know but too well—
how, if it were made, it would be received: it would be
received as a declaration of war;—as an act of
hostility, and of hostility without hope. My Lord I
heard
[+] from want of
time the grand
cover of all discredit
and mismanagement
intended or unintended
—want of time.
