B The next Thing, that I have good Rea fon to believe will be given up, or at least taken from us, is Georgia, tho' hitherto fupported by great Sums of Money given by Parliament, and granted by a Royal Charter to the prefent Trustees : For you'll find by the fecond Article of this Convention, that the poor People, who, under the Protection of this Government, have tranfported themselves thither, are to be left naked and defencelefs, expofed to the Mercy of the Spaniards, whenever they pleafe to attack them, by being reftrained from the Means of Self-Prefervation. For by that Article it is agreed, that neither the Spaniards nor they thould raife any Fortifications. But yet at that Time this hon. Gentle Now, Sir, I can fee but one Reason man, as well as myself, and all those who thought as we did, were look'd upon as a why this was ftipulated in the Manner I Set of difaffected People, as they are now, have mention'd, for it regards only us who don't like this Convention, and ex(we demanding no Part of the King of pect no more Good from it, than from all C Spain's Territories) and that is this: Our Minifters finding that Spain did not much like our Settlement at Georgia, and they not daring, by a folemn Treaty, to yield it up, they might whifper the Spanish Minifters, and tell them; We are forry we don't dare give it you up, but we will agree it fhall be left defenceless, and then you may eafily take it, and we not call'd to an Account for it. This is not at all improbable, when we confider how in And as for my Part, I own I expect no Good from it, but apprehend much Hurt: Our Right to free Navigation, and no Search, not being inferted in it, but left to Commiffaries. I find alfo, by what I call the Prelimi-D nary Article, the King of Spain's Proteft, that the South Sea Company's Affiento Contract will be annulled by Company's having refufed (a few Days ago in a full Court) to pay the fixty eight thousand Pounds the King of Spain demands of them by that Proteft deliver'd to Mr Keene. What Authority Mr Keene could have to make this Bargain for the SouthSea Company, and give up a Property they are entitled to, by virtue of Treaties and Acts of Parliament, I can't apprehend.. And tho' their Lofs may be no national Point; yet fo great a Body of Englifhmen, whofe Property is concern'd, de ferves at least the Protection of Parlia ment. Mr Pulteney. E F duftrious our Minifters have been to find out Expedients to be well with Spain, for the Good of their Country. Now I have been fhewing you, what I apprehend we fhall lofe; let us fee a little, what it is we have a Profpect of getting: That of no Search, free Navigation, and Satisfaction to our Merchants, I am fure it won't be, for the Reasons I have mention'd before, as well as from what fell from the hon. Gentleman that fpoke laft; for it is not to be fuppos'd, but that, as far as fair Means would go, every Method has been already try'd: And he just now as good as told us, we could proceed by no other; for that we had nei ther ther Money to go to War with, nor But by this Treaty he tells us, there is to be ample Satisfaction given to our Merchants: How far they are fatisfy'd with the Convention the Houfe may judge, from what they have heard them declare B at the Bar. fers, that Spain has been already amply fatisfy'd, and you are not to enter into any farther Difcuffion with them on that. Head. this Demand by feizing the South-Sea Another Time Spain paid themselves Company's Effects, Spain at that Time declaring that they were feiz'd and kept on that Account: But what does it fignify, if for the fake of obtaining this molt adher a third Time? And then it reduces vantageous Convention we fhould pay it what Spain is to pay us, to ninety five thoufand Pounds.. In the next Place, towards paying the ninety five thousand Pounds, the King of Spain infifts by his Proteft, as I mention'd before, That the South-Sea Company fhall immediately pay him fixty eight thousand Pounds, being a Debt due to him from C the Company, on one Head of Accounts, tho' at the fame Time, on other Heads of Accounts, his Majefty is indebted to the Company a Million over and above, as appears on your Table, for which they are to stay his Time. He fays, they are to receive one hundred and fifty five thousand Pounds, which will be in full Satisfaction of their Lofles; tho', by the Bye, their Demands on Spain were for three hundred and forty thousand Pounds, but our Commissary, by a Stroke of his Pen, reduced them to two hundred thousand Pounds, being as he thought full enough for our Merchants; and then to induce Spain to Prompt-Payment forty five thousand Pounds more was ftruck off, which brings it to the Sum, the hon. Gentleman has mention'd, Spain is cer tainly to pay us: And upon this Point, ID find, he chiefly feems to extol the Goodnefs of the Convention, and the Ability of the Minifters in bringing Spain to this Condefcenfion: For y Spain's paying the Money was owning her Fault, and declaring the Illegality of her Proceedings. In answer to this, in the first Place, I don't believe Spain will ever pay us a Far- E thing of the Money; and in the next Place, fuppofe the Money mention'd fhould be paid the Merchants, let us see how much Spain is to pay us of it. Why, in first Place, towards making up the one hundred and fifty five thou fand Pounds for the Satisfaction of the Merchants, Spain infifts on England' al-' lowing her fixty thoufand Pounds as the remaining Part of a Debt due to her for having deftroy'd her Fleet in the Year 1718. Very Gracious indeed, that they did not carry her Demands as far back as Q. Elizabeth's Reign, for the Fleet then destroy'd. G But as ftrange as this Demand of Spain may feem from her, it is much more fo in those who have agreed to it; for it has been already once fatisfy'd, as appears by thofe Papers on your Table, which are Copies of the Instructions fent to our Minifters in Spain at the Treaty of Seville, wherein is mention'd as follows: In cafe H Spain fhall make any further Demands of you for the lofs of their Fleet, destroy'd by Sir George Byng, afterwards Lord Tor ington, you are to tell the Spanish Mini Now thefe two Sums make one hundred and twenty eight thousand Pounds, that I think England is to pay our Merchants inftead of Spain (if ever paid); fo there remains but twenty feven thoufand Pounds for Spain to pay, of which twenty feven thousand Pound, fhe has taken Care to be excufed from paying one Farthing, as appears by the Stipulations by way of Draw-back, inferted in the 4th Article of the Convention, and the 2d feparate Article. For by thofe Articles Spain is to deduct out of the Money fhe is to pay whatever The may have already given in Satisfaction for any of our Ships that have been taken. And England is alfo to allow Spain the Value of the St Therefa, a Ship of theirs that had been seiz'd in the Port of Dublin in the Year 1735. All this is to be fettled by our Plenipotentiaries, and I think we fhall come off well, if on the Balance of Accounts, inftead of receiving the twenty feven thousand Pounds, we than't be ob lig'd to pay an Overplus to Spain. Here ends, Sir, a fhort Narrative of the ample Satisfaction England is to receive from Spain for the three hundred and forty thousand Pounds due to her Merchants. A moft Glorious Convention I must own, and fuch a Master-Piece in Politics, that I dare fay none of the Machiavilians of the Age, but our own at the Head of Affairs, could have thought of. But yet, after all this, we fhall be told, I dare fay, that this thorough Dislike to the Convention, and Flame the Nation is |
