THE KING OF SARDINIA. .
Mr. Jekyll faid, confident, with his duty
he owed his country as a member of parlia
mciit, and as a difl'duiion was: on ihe eve"
of taking place, he could not abltain trom
preflino the chancellor of the exchequer to
give an anfwer to a queftion which he con
lidered"of confiderable importance : -Ac-counts
had. reached this country he under-
Hood, of the - rapid and. gigantic, ttrides
Which the French had made in the.domini-'
ons of - the king of: Sardinia t.hofe fuccefles
were ia great, tnac tne unfortunate prince
was reduced to tlve neceflity of fuing lor
peace,:; and : to place in t he hands of t h e
enemy two jreat and confiderable fortrefles,
which were confitlered the key and door of
Italy. Thus fit uared, he thought it his
duty to ajk the chancellor of the exchequer,
if it was his intention to remit to that uti
fottunate fovereign, . the fubfidy of .two
vhunlrel thoufund pounds, voteH by parlia
ment at a time, when, in confequence
his alliance with us and our confederates,
he was now tremblinsr for lafety in his capi
tal ! He had no defire to dwell on his mif.
fortune, but wiflied to know if it was to
be fent in the way of fubfidy ? But' furely
it would be idle to talk of fubfidy as Ion a;
as . we wer denied the aid of his military
fet vices ; andjf thefe were rendered inef-'
feclml, ' the money would not be remitted
as a fubfidy, however it may as a gift. -
The chancellor of the exchequer replied
He. faid, he did hot conceive that the uef.
tion, confident with the good fenfe of the
, learned gentleman, was put in that way, as
to demand an immediate anwer from him,
as 11' wis Aipplied by himfelf. As to the
exact fit nation of affairs in Italy,' be was
not from his; information competent at
prefent to decide. He believed that the
affairs of the king of Sardiuia,' may Fe in
a critical fituat ion 1 but it was impolfible
to (ay at prefent, what precife effecl the
event may have on the war. But fnrely it
niufl: be obvious to the learned gentleman,
that the fubfidy had been voted ; the ohj'p
g.ition on the part of this country ceafed.

Mr.' Jekyll afked, if he was to underfland,

it the intention to fend the money or not)

. Sir,
I am very much obliged to
you for the fentiments you ex
prefled in the communication I ;
had the honour to-receive frcm
you ; they cannct but encreale
my efteem ' and jtFgh I find
nothing to add to that which I
have verbally communicated to
you, I fliall with pleafure con
form myfelf to yolir wifties,
and do not hefitate to give you
friendly explanations even on
fubjecl:s that allow no minifltriat '
dilcuflioh. To this clafs belongs
the inflruftion which 1 Thave
. . . .
' given to fpmes of his majefly's
mihifters at different .foreign
courts ; it was publiflied 'with
out our confent. It can in no ,
manner be confidered as a de
coration to thole courts, we
did not make any of that kind.
It is merely an official inflruc-J.
tibn wliich was intended for.no
other purpofc but to lerve as a
direction to thofe to whe m it
was addreffed. It relates to the
preceding, correfpondence, is
lhuclly conformable to truth
apd as it renders the juftice due
to the prefent French cenftitu
tion, it can certainly not expefc
us to the ill will of cur defend
ers, but rather of thofe who do
hot like it. The jullnefs of
this conclufion is'fo feif evident;
that a further attempt, to ex
plain it could only lervc to lcf
fen its efTccl. Befidcs, you
know, y6ur reception took place
without the leaft hefitation on
our fide, iquitc in the cuftorri
ary, in the mod folemn mannc r .
we know of. We never do any.
thing by halves ; and , as. you
are an eye witnefs of our pro
ceedings and of our conduft,
I fliall with pleafure appeal to.
your decifion and depend on
your impartiality : Depend
likewife on the greattfl ellecm
with which ' f '
