The Speech of James Stephen, in the Debate in the House of Commons, March 6, 1809, on Mr. Whitbread's Motion Relative to the Late Overtures of the American Government is a historical book written by James Stephen. In this book, Stephen delivers a speech in the House of Commons on March 6, 1809, in response to Mr. Whitbread's motion regarding the recent overtures made by the American government. Stephen argues that the British government should not be too quick to dismiss these overtures and should instead consider them carefully in order to avoid a potential conflict with the United States. He also discusses the importance of maintaining good relations with America, particularly in light of the ongoing Napoleonic Wars in Europe.
