about the exemption belonging to gentlemen in such high
offices from as touching moral obligations, were so many
truisms: but to Mr Hiley Addington the notion seemed rather adopted in deference
to such high authority, than brought out as
the fruit of his own reflections and experience.

Every thing Mr Long came came out with in the course
of his apology: (for notwithstanding his acknowledged superiority to
parliament, he seemed to feel some sort of account of himself
due from him in point of prudence to the friend and
supporter at his elbow) the plunged me still deeper
and deeper in astonishment. Every thing that had
not happened was asserted—every that had ever happened was doomed in globo for the purpose
of the argument: and the argument ran about the
compass like the wind in a hurricane.+ The Treasury
were only ministerial and had no choice: though
the Treasury is the every thing of choice in the waste of
an act—and the Treasury is the only authority by which to which
any thing is to be done any claim is given by it. The Treasury had no choice
about the spot or any thing: though Mr Long and he alone in person
was the very person by whom the spot in question was promised
