H AMMQMD- gave notice, that, b«-should to-morrow move for, certain pa-, pers relative to the evidence contained' in the Eleventh Report of the Commissioners ot Navallriquii'y. •ML'. G R E Y had no objection to the .pro- duction o'f any papers that might.be necessary for the, vifidicarion cif an.y Hon. Gent.; but contended, that his object of moving For them o'tglit to'have been stated, for tbe in- formation of those cpnce.i'hedi-^-P'ublic ru- mour ascribed to the motion a tendency to attack the character of Lord St. Vincent," and therefore notice Was due to his friends, in .order to be prepared, not to defend it, for that was unnecessary., but to,move for such other documents as might place the matter in a ci'c'at: light. On a former day the Hon. Bart; 'had given notice of a similar motion^ for a letter, written by himself tothe Admi- lahy, together with its in closures, without ..explaining the object of his motion, and if such a principle were now to be recognised, any.Jj-ash might be' prepared to be brought before Parliament bv a similar motion. ; Sir A . S . ' H A M M O N D said he had tak- en the most regular Way of moving for the papers. The'Cp.mmissioners of Naval In- quiry had inseried in their Eleventh Report statements' reSe'ctirig on" the conduct of the Comptroller of the Navy, to which no man of feeling could possibly submit j ahd.be and the Noble Lord were at issue on that ground; ,and either must be in asituatiou in- j consistent with the principles of a man of i honour. After the publication of the Ele < j venth Report lie had applied to be re-exa- I ) mined'on the evidenae contained in it, and : j after,.17 dayS bad been, informed that the i Commissioners had made tlieir report to the.: three branches of the Legislature, and co.uld j not therefore re examine him. He. bowed to their authority, but as he-Was at the head of an inferior department under the Admi- ralty, and wished his character to stand well with the I^ords Commissionersj he had ap- plied to their Lordships to hear what he had to Urge in his defence, and inclosed tlie do- cuments for which he had moved. If he had been earlier than tbe usual time, he ! trusted that would not appear to the House , an instance of want of fairness. ' I Mi. W. DICKINSON presented at the | Bar a Copy of the Letter of the Comptroller i •if the Navy to the Commissioners of the j Admiralty, dated April, 1%, 1805, relative ! tothe evidence contained in the Eleventh j Report of the Commissioners of Naval In- j -quiry, together with its inclosures. On the motion that the- papers do lie on ! the Table, it appealing that the inclosures i had no. titles, j Mr. GREY put it to the candour of the [ House, whether, under th.e -circumstances' -in which these papers ..had been -moved for, when even'then they did, not understand what th'ey.were, as they bad,np,titles, it was fair that they should be printed and circulated, vrhen the House Was ignorant whether any other documents were r.ec.e-iary for the elu- cidation of-the matter. M r . T I E R N E Y wished that the papers should not be printed till Gentlemen should .have an opportunity of seeing Iheir contents. All he asked as a. -delay of two days to c'6'n.s/ide,i whetker any other documents weie necessary, .especially ;as the R /j. Bart, had siated, that the transaction would place one of the parties in a situation .to which.no man of bonour could submit. He wished, on tlie]part of his Noble 1'riend,. to know what . -the,;.pa(jers : contained, . a.nd v heiher any others were necessary, in order that the case . flirty- -not be decided,on .es.-parte\evidence.— W h y ,d.id, not the H o n , B a r t , movie tor the .documents openly ? They had vored for pa- pers relative to the Tenth Report, but in • this, .instance they were called-on.to. vote in , the . dark., . The inclosu j'.es,. might contain something which might be injurious to the public .service, to have produced. . T h e H o o . Bart, had co.mnxufticated; his strictures to .tbe v- Admiralty on the Eleventh Report, vvhifch, ,,h'e nqvv.proposed to .bring before the House. The more regular way-would have been to. move for .a Committee when ,tbe Hon. Bart, andthe Noble Lordi w-ould.both be heard. . i;ThqHon. Bart., mqyedrin this instance .for his'civvn,deieiice. oixly, and ilierefore it was ..that he opposed the piinting. A great deal r.of the ..time woujd. ;-bej-J;ost; ..as in the case of ..j oSi.r HOME PoPH;AM,. ( by «pt referring the matter to a Committee, be.foi;e which both might be.h.eard,. andh;av£ equal j-ustice done: ihera.. , .'I - . - ; .-, ;'-- '"-• ,'- . , T h e . C H A N , of th.e. EX.' agreed.iu the: principle of affording, equal justice to-both, but thought that there was so~'\thing singu- lar in thede'ductlon drawn by tr.e Hon. Gent, ' from ir. There was, a document already before the House, which contained a charge on thecharacter of the Hon.- Bait, on which the House might be led to decide by a cen- sure on the Hon. Member. ' If the papers moved for by the Hon.- Bart, should reflect on , the character of the Noble Lord, - he would have time enough to.meet.the charge. , — T h e question, therefore - , was, whether, when there was a matter of. charge against any one, upon which the House would have to decide, he should be prevented from hav- ing the advantage of such documents as ; might justify his conduct,, lest .these docu- ments should contain matter of charge against another, who could, not be affected ,by the decision. Gentlemen had contended against the printing of papers,. lest the con- ,duct of .the Noble Lord should be judged of on 'ex parte evidence*. But that course was- contrary to the practice of the House, and he was sure that they had seen enough—too NUMBER 2/5 9 1 . -Y.IT!*,-^'.,.I.^..* ^—.IJ • J .E.-I-GEUT^-R^-.JRT-^. I - J ---' I-EE3:.-. RUG; mnch of the practice of polishing matters brought before the House, even before any discussion had taken place upon them. He was satisfied that there could be no reasona - ble'objection to the printing any papers that tvere necessary for tire elucidation of any charge affecting the Hon, Bart. The Right Hon, Gent. (Mr. TIERNLV ) had stated, that k Committee was the best course of pro- ceeding for both parties. But who: could say, whether, though the notice.might be for a Committee, that the rhotion might not afterwards be either for a censuie, or for ac- quittal. They had an instance on a former night of the order.of motions having been changed (on Thursday last by Mr. WHIT- EHEAD ), and of otic that had been given notice of having been abandoned. The best mode of knowing what t.lid papers were would be to have them read; .Mr. TOX thought"i£ right, that if the Hon. Baronet conceived his character af- fected by the report, he should move for do- cuments to justify it, but then he should not conceal the titles. The House did not know what those documents were which he moved for, nor whether any further papers were necessary-j and the difficulty arose from his not haying Staled to the House the nature of •the documents, or the object of his motion. 'Without any disrespect to the Hon, Ba ro, net, his comments on the documents could not be a ground for the House to proceed on. To state the letter of the Hon. Baronet, 'without tlie documents, was like giving the comment without tlie text, the obse; vations without the facts on which they were'found- ed. T h e Pvight H o n . Gent, had alluded to the .changes that h-a'd taken place in the mod-" oris, on a former day (Thursday). — H is Hon. Friend had not given uphis ibotiou for the prosccutiohj but had been driven out of it by a majority ofthe Hou's'e, Under such circumstances, he had thought it' better n'ct to bring it on, in'Which Ire had himself con- curred. Every one v. ho beard'th'e debate on. that day must'have observed the-eagerness of those Who wished to screen the'lMftiotien'ts" (hear /. hear !). He stated tlie fact, the de- linquents werescfreeried by-tboseWho 'Weie of opinion than heir eoriduct Was 'nfet^ibigh' breach of duty, but contrary to the'ibrent of th:e Act (hear !)—by such as the Cofbrri'i,ttee' that would be reported that night. For one, he thought-it Would be far more impartial that tfiis letter siuVufd 'tidt- be printed fill it should be known whether other documents were necessary'.—His Hon. Friend^had not stilted that any person vitas, above inquiry in this country, but that the Noble Lord WaS : out of the reach of injury by an.y iinquiry. The letter ol the. Hon. Baronet was- not worth notice,till the ; etber,documents should be had. In rhovingr.for papers, the Hon; Baronet ought at least to have 'given a de- scription of the documents he called for.-—- The House, he thought, had got by the' omission into a dimeulc state of proceeding. Mr. W . ' D I C K E N S O N stated, in a f e w words, that the ih'otioti which had been made (by Mr. KIKNAIE.B ) for th.e pro. duction of the letter of Mr. Tucker to the . Admiralty was precisely the same as thai then made by tbe Hon. Baronet. Mr. G. PONSONB'Y should, not vote for reading the papers.-" It was not fair tothe; Noble Lord.:—The papers were intended as a justification of the Hon.' Baronet, but a -new,, fresh, distinct matter of elimination against the Noble L ord, and tn candour he was entitled to an explanation of the object and of the documents. This be wasentitled to claim from the justice of Parliament^ leav- ing its generosity out of the question, or Without resting on. his character and services* or on those feelings towards him which per- vaded every pan of the eommtinityi T h e A T T ; GEN. Observed, that if any other person but Lord St. Vincent Were the object of themofiori, no Objection would be made to laying the documents on the table charging the Honi Baronet with having omitted to inform the First Lord of the Ad- miralty of certain important transactions? He had looked into the introductory letteS since the commencement of the, discussion, by which it appeared that the Honourable Baronet, when he found that this cosidusi

SIT A . S . H A M M Q M D - gave notice, that, b«-should t o - m o r r o w m o v e for, certain pa- , pers relative to the evidence contained' in the Eleventh Report of the Commissioners ot N a v a l l r i q u i i ' y .

•ML'. G R E Y had no objection to the .pro-duction o'f any papers that might.be necessary for the, vifidicarion cif an.y H o n . Gent. ; but contended, that his object of m o v i n g For them o'tglit t o ' h a v e been stated, for tbe in-formation of those cpnce.i'hedi-^-P'ublic ru-mour ascribed to the motion a tendency to attack the character of L o r d St. Vincent," and therefore notice Was due to his friends, in .order to be prepared, not to defend it, for that was unnecessary., but to,move for such other documents as might place the matter in a ci'c'at: l ight. O n a former day the H o n . Bart; 'had given notice of a similar motion^ for a letter, written by himself t o t h e A d m i -l a h y , together with its in closures, without

..explaining the object of his motion, and if such a principle w e r e n o w to be recognised, any.Jj-ash might be' prepared to be brought before Parl iament bv a similar motion.

; Sir A . S . ' H A M M O N D said he had t a k -en the most regular Way of m o v i n g for the papers. The'Cp.mmissioners of N a v a l I n -quiry had inseried in their Eleventh R e p o r t statements' reSe'ctirig on" the conduct of the Comptro l ler of the N a v y , to w h i c h no man

of feel ing could possibly submit j a h d . b e and the N o b l e L o r d w e r e at issue on that ground; ,and either must be in asituatiou in- j consistent with the principles of a man of i honour. A f t e r the publication of the Ele < j venth Report lie had applied to be re-exa- I

) mined'on the evidenae contained in it, and : j after,.17 dayS bad been, informed that the i Commissioners had made tlieir report to the.: three branches of the Legis lature , and co.uld j not therefore re examine him. He. bowed to their authority, but as he-Was at the head of an inferior department under the A d m i -ralty, and wished his character to stand wel l with the I^ords Commissioners j he had ap-plied to their Lordships to hear what he had to Urge in his defence, and inclosed tlie do-cuments for w h i c h he had moved. If he had been earlier than tbe usual time, he ! trusted that w o u l d not appear to the H o u s e , an instance of want of fairness. ' I

M i . W . D I C K I N S O N presented at the | B a r a C o p y of the Letter of the Comptrol ler i •if the N a v y to the Commissioners of the j Admira l ty , dated A p r i l , 1%, 1805, relative ! t o t h e evidence contained in the Eleventh j Report of the Commissioners of N a v a l In- j

-quiry, together with its inclosures.

On the motion that the- papers do lie on ! the T a b l e , it appeal ing that the inclosures i had no. titles, j

M r . G R E Y put it to the candour of the [ House, whether , under th.e -circumstances'

-in which these papers ..had been -moved f o r , when even'then they did, not understand what th'ey.were, as they bad,np,titles, it was fair that they should be printed and circulated, vrhen the H o u s e Was ignorant w h e t h e r any other documents were r.ec.e-iary for the e lu-cidation of - the matter.

M r . T I E R N E Y wished that the papers should not be printed till Gentlemen should .have an opportunity of seeing Iheir contents. A l l he asked as a. -delay of two days to c'6'n.s/ide,i whetker any other documents w e i e necessary, .especially ;as the R /j . Bart, had siated, that the transaction would place one of the parties in a situation .to which.no man of bonour could submit. H e wished, on tlie]part of his N o b l e 1 'riend,. to know what

. -the,;.pa(jers : contained, . a.nd v heiher any others were necessary, in order that the case . flirty- -not be decided,on .es.-parte\evidence.— W h y ,d.id, not the H o n , B a r t , movie tor the .documents openly ? T h e y had vored for pa-pers relative to the T e n t h Report , but in

• this, .instance they were called-on.to. vote in , the . d a r k . , . T h e inclosu j'.es,. might contain something which might be injurious to the public .service, to h a v e produced. . T h e H o o . Bart , had co.mnxufticated; his strictures to .tbe v-Admiralty on the Eleventh R e p o r t , vvhifch,

,,h'e nqvv.proposed to .bring before the H o u s e . T h e m o r e regular way-would have been to. m o v e for .a Committee when ,tbe H o n . Bart , a n d t h e N o b l e L o r d i w-ould.both be heard. .

i ; T h q H o n . Bart., mqyedrin this instance .for his'civvn,deieiice. oixly, and ilierefore it was

..that he opposed the piinting. A great deal r.of the ..time woujd. ;-bej-J;ost; ..as in the case of ..j

oSi.r H O M E PoPH;AM,. ( by «pt referring the matter to a Committee , be.foi;e which both might be.h.eard,. andh;av£ equal j-ustice done: ihera.. , .'I - . - ; .-, ;'-- '"-• ,'- . , T h e . C H A N , of th.e. E X . ' agreed.iu the: principle of affording, equal justice to-both, but thought that there was so~'\thing s ingu-lar in thede'ductlon d r a w n by tr.e H o n . Gent,

' from ir. T h e r e was, a document already before the House , w h i c h contained a charge on thecharacter of the Hon.- B a i t , on w h i c h the H o u s e might be l e d to decide by a cen-sure on the H o n . M e m b e r . ' If the papers moved for by the Hon.- Bart , should reflect on , the character of the N o b l e L o r d , - he would h a v e time enough to.meet.the charge.

, — T h e question, therefore-, w a s , w h e t h e r , w h e n there w a s a matter of. charge against any one, upon which the House w o u l d h a v e to decide, he should be prevented from h a v -ing the advantage of such documents as

; might justi fy his conduct,, lest .these docu-ments should contain matter of charge against another, w h o could, not be affected ,by the decision. Gentlemen had contended against the printing of papers , . lest the con-

,duct of .the N o b l e L o r d should be judged of on 'ex parte evidence*. B u t that course was-contrary to the practice of the H o u s e , and he was sure that they had seen e n o u g h — t o o

NUMBER 2/5 9 1 . -Y.IT!*,-^'.,.I.^..* ^—.IJ • J .E.-I-GEUT^-R^-.JRT-^. I - J ---' I-EE3:.-. RUG;

mnch of the practice of p o l i s h i n g matters brought before the H o u s e , even before any discussion had taken place upon them. H e was satisfied that there could be no reasona -ble'objection to the printing any papers that tvere necessary for tire elucidation of any charge affecting the H o n , Bart . T h e Right H o n , Gent. ( M r . T I E R N L V ) had stated, that k Committee was the best course of p r o -ceeding for both parties. B u t who: could say, w h e t h e r , though the notice.might be for a Committee, that the rhotion might not afterwards be either for a censuie, or for ac-quittal. T h e y had an instance on a f o r m e r night of the order.of motions h a v i n g been changed (on T h u r s d a y last by M r . W H I T -

E H E A D ) , and of otic that had been given notice of having been abandoned. T h e best mode of k n o w i n g w h a t t.lid papers w e r e would be to have them read;

. M r . T O X thought"i£ right, that if the H o n . Baronet conceived his character a f -fected by the report, he should move for d o -cuments to justify it, but then he should not conceal the titles. T h e House did not k n o w what those documents were which he moved f o r , nor whether any further papers w e r e necessary-j and the difficulty arose from his not haying Staled to the House the nature of

•the documents, or the object of his motion. 'Without any disrespect to the H o n , Ba ro , net, his comments on the documents could not be a ground for the House to proceed on. T o state the letter of the H o n . B a r o n e t , 'without tlie documents, was l ike g iv ing the comment without tlie text, the obse; vations without the facts on w h i c h they were ' found-ed. T h e Pvight H o n . Gent, had alluded to the .changes that h-a'd taken place in the m o d - " oris, on a former day ( T h u r s d a y ) . — H is H o n . Friend had not given u p h i s ibotiou for the prosccutiohj but had been dr iven out of it by a majority o f t h e Hou's'e, U n d e r such circumstances, he had thought it' better n'ct to bring it on, in'Which Ire had himself con-curred. Every one v. ho beard'th'e debate on. that day must 'have observed the-eagerness of those Who wished to screen the'lMftiotien'ts" (hear /. hear !). H e stated tlie fact, the de-linquents werescfreeried b y - t b o s e W h o 'Weie of opinion t h a n heir eoriduct W a s ' n f e t ^ i b i g h ' breach of duty, but contrary to the'ibrent of th:e Act (hear !)—by such as the Cofbrri'i,ttee' that would be reported that night. For one, he thought-it Would be far more impartial that tfiis letter siuVufd 'tidt- b e printed fill it should be k n o w n whether other documents w e r e necessary ' .—His H o n . Friend^had not stilted that any person vitas, a b o v e inquiry in this country, but that the N o b l e L o r d WaS

: out of the reach of injury by an.y i inquiry . T h e letter ol the. H o n . • Baronet was- not worth notice,till the ;etber,documents should be had. In rhovingr.for papers, the H o n ; Baronet ought at least to h a v e 'given a d e -scription of the documents he called for.-—-T h e House, he thought , had got by the' omission into a dimeulc state of proceeding.

M r . W . ' D I C K E N S O N stated, in a f e w w o r d s , that the ih'otioti which had been m a d e ( b y M r . K I K N A I E . B ) f o r th.e p r o .

duction of the letter of M r . T u c k e r to the . Admiral ty was precisely the same as thai then made by tbe H o n . Baronet .

M r . G . P O N S O N B ' Y should, not vote for reading the papers.-" It was not fair tothe; N o b l e L o r d . : — T h e papers were intended as a justification of the Hon.' Baronet , but a

-new,, fresh, distinct matter of elimination against the N o b l e L ord, and tn candour he w a s entitled to an explanation of the object and of the documents. T h i s be wasentit led to claim from the justice of Parliament^ leav-ing its generosity out of the question, or Without resting on. his character and services* or on those feelings towards him which per-vaded e v e r y p a n of the eommtinityi

T h e A T T ; G E N . Observed, that if any other person but Lord St. V i n c e n t Were the object of themofiori , no Objection would be made to laying the documents on the table charg ing the H o n i Baronet with h a v i n g omitted to inform the First L o r d of the A d -miralty of certain important transactions? H e had looked into the introductory letteS since the commencement of the, discussion, by w h i c h it appeared that the H o n o u r a b l e B a r o n e t , when he found that this cosidusi

had been reflected on by ,the Eleventh Re-port, had tendered to be re examined, which the Commissioners-had* ho doubt, on suf-ficient grounds, refused; T h e Hon. BAROI net had then addressed himself to the A d -miralty, inclosing the .documents. ••In con-sequence of which they were no longer in hi- possession, and that had beta the cause ot his tpov'iivg, for the letter and its enclo-sures. As to t he observations of the Lea: n-

. ed .Gent, that,, this was afresh and distinct • charge against the Noble L o r d , was there

not already upon the table a charge against the Hon. Baronet..? Was there no.hardship in that ?' . A Learned Serjeant ( B E S T ) had given notice of a motion on 1the: subject 'of the Eleventh Report next ;• and iii adverting to the charge of notices that had taken place, his Right Hob. Friend had only said, thai it was impossible'for the House to know whether the motion would be made for a committee or not:

M r . G R E Y felt it impossible to suffer the House to be led away by false impres-sions. He was sure the statement from the other side was not correct relative to the order of the motions (on Thursday), He had him -self siiggesied to move for the Committee first, and fbr the prosecution after. But he observed'a uniform endeavour to mislead the House, that they who supported him op posed the production of documents—-God forbid! If was the manner of m o v i n g for the'documents they objected to. He was happy to find that no Gentleman attempted to justify the manner in which the Hon. Bart, had brought forward his . motion. T h e re-port had been printed on the i rth M-arch, and it was not till the a i d of Apri l that the Hon. Baronet w!etc the letter to the Admi-ral t,yj on the 2£th he gave his notice, and on the 26th he moved for its production. What-was to be concluded, but that he h3d written the letter for the purpose of having, it produced to Parliament.

Sir A. H A M M O N D had lost no time. It was extremely late in, March when the . Report had been printed,, and the next day he w.iotero the Commissioners o f T n q u i r y . As he iiekf a high, office, it was no slight matter that he should stand right with his aupeiipi- Board. He had written his letter on the 1st of Apri l , and delivered it with his qvyn hand to the Commissioners. On the f'/th he received the answer, and on the 22:1 lie wrote to the Admiralty.. T h e docu mentis were in. the regular form of docu-: in'ents from one Board toanother, and nuin bored .from I to 10, being fetters from the Secretary of State, and from the Earl St. Vincent, and if the Secretary of the Admi-ralty did not,produce them with the proper titles, it was not his fault. T h e reading the papers would not, t ike up ten minutes, he should.therefpre vote for tlie motion.

M r ; - K I N N A I R D should not have risen,, if it.had not been for a personal allusion to him,.. Previous to the motion which had bc-en'observed upon, fie had presented a pe-tition from M r , T U C K E R , explaining the nature of '.h-is-grievance .and of..t-be motion.

T h e letters were then read. T h e first explained the.circumstances of, tlie' Hoft. Baronet's situation and conduct-,; and his-ap-plication':ts: the Commissioners'of Naval ;

Inq.uiriyj.,, T h e inclosures were letters from Lord .Hobai t, M r . Suiiiva'n, and the Earl of St. Vincent. N o . 3; the principal one from Earl St. Vincent ,to Sir A. S. Ham-mond, mentions the receipt of his commu-nication respecting the -Stone Expedition', which lie has no doubt will be well executed 1

by the smugglers, but as the whole expcnce • was to be defrayed by the Treasury, be saw no occasion for giving any of ' the details to the Admiralty.

Oh the papers being read, M r . T I E R N E Y said, that the House '

was awarefhat.fo.r sometime back the .most base, malignant insinuations .were circulated that Lord St. Vincent had been guilty of the most gross p e r j u r y . — E v e r y Member of the !

House, paiticul a'riy the friends of the Noble Lord, 1 must have been deeply affected by i-suclt.a charge. It Was not surprising that : those! who-intd been themselves'convicted of delinquency;! should wis'Mltobilng him, the ' author ot their' defection, to their own level.' Every exalted character', when h'euhderrakes to reform abases/ must'expect to 'be subject' to such charges. He had heard,-if he could regularly advert to the cirCumsfahce, t h a t ' the Noble Lord had ne'ver, eitheridirect'ly or indirectly, countenanced the application of the nav.ql money to other ser vices. H e de-fied; the Hon. Bart, to prove, that the Noble -Lord had not uniformly and sedulously p r o -tested against such application of the naval money to-secret services. N o naval officer was to be employed in. ' the sinking of the vessel's, the whole was to have been con-ducted by those who were ..better, acquainted

ivith the French coast. T h e object of the Commissioners was to discover, whether the money granted for navy services had been applied to atiy other set vice, and one of the documents, the letter from'.Lord St. .Vin-cent to Sir A . Hammond, " rendered that clear. No man could suppose that Lord St. Vincent would swear that hehadnor known. any thing of" the secret 'expedition. ' In iiis ' letter the Noble Lordfstiited, that as, the .ex-pence Wsjs to'be defraijeB by the Treasury,

; there, was: 110 occasion f6r gi ving details' to the 'Board of Admiralty. He asked the Hotise whether any man could more clearly was his hands out of the business ? As a Cabi net Minister, h e m USE have known of an expedition projected - by : the Cabinet.

H e r e then ended, in the fdee of the House, the first charge brought Elgainft L o r d St. Vincent. Tli is was the situation in which no man of honour could stibmit th- T h e Noble Lord liacfacq-'ultted himself as a Naval Officer, by not employing any Naval Officer in choaking up the harbour of Boulogne ; and, as a faithful servant to the public, in not Allowing the application of the public money- to services for which it was nntvoted. H e had only to return his thanks to the Hon. Bart, for having broUght forward the iriop-tion which afforded tlie opportunity of vin-dicating the Noble Lord's character.'

' M r . C A N N I N G . — A s the Right Hon. Gent, had thought'it proper in this sta'ge of the business to take that v iew of the papers, he held it right in any man to'state hisopihion as to the evidence they contained. T h e Ho n. Bart, had m6:vcd; for these papers, for' tlie purpose of repelling the charge of having applied the money entrusted to other purposes'than those'lor which it had been voted by Parliament, without the knowledge of the -F'h-st Lord of the Adtnii-ihy. T h e papers afforded tlie fullest and rriost complete vindication of the l ion. Bart.— What effect they may hi^e fco'llatei ally, :to confirm or do a'wayany thingihat had been asserted else-w-beie, he should leave to the public to de-fei mine,' ' ' • - ,

. Mr. F O X thought the production of these papers entitled to more thanks from LorcfSt . Vincent's friends, than they had any reason to think they should ' owe to the quarter Where the production originated. It was very right that the Hon. Bart, should ;

have the opportunity of producing eVeiy thing that was necessary for his defence :' but his objection-wad, that the motion was made to stand on this 'ground, that Lord St. Y i n cent's-evidence wasdneorrect. Whether the Hon. Baronet's'conduct was reprehensible or otherwise, would appear at a future timej when that time CEtihe, and all the documents weie produced, Whatever may appear di-recriyior come out collaterally, he had not the smallest apprehension tliat any thing would appear, w h i c h could establish the" smallest incorrectness in the conduct of Lord St. Vincent. ' -

T h e C H A N , of ".the E X . said, that this much at least indisputably appeared ort the face of the papers that had been read, that th(e transaction that had occasioned the ex-pence was known to Lord St. Vincent';' that he had no objection to the expedition being carried 011, or to' tlie manner in wh'i'c!)' it was to be conducted iti 'any sense,- but that tlje expcnce incurred'fo'r'it should not coirie otitof-the navy money. "'•' 1

. ; M r . G R E Y said, it was most certain that Lord St. Vincent knew of the'transaction. W h e n the question was put to his Lbr.dship', it .w,as only in refcrence'to the application of ' tlie navy money ; and in that sense, which '

. Was:the only rational tone, the evidence dtood uhimp'eachefl. ' : ' ' -.'•-

M r . W A L L A C E said, if he recollected the contents of the papers jiist h b & ' read, there Was one in which Lord' St. Vincent avowed a distinct .knowledge ancf complete approbation of the expedition, and in which Sir" A . H A M M O N D was not only directed to superintend the preparations, but alsb'topro-cure the funds.-

'were io be replaced by the T-reasury,)—

When the preparations were completed, L d . Stj Vincent expressed his readiness to pro-vide. a convoyj and to write to Lord Keith to give every assistance and facility in his power. T h e answer of Lord St. Vincent to him inclosed Lord Hobart's letter, saying, that as the expence was to be defrayed by the Treasury, it was not necessary to state the derails 'of the plan' or preparations to the Ad -miralty.

Mr. W A L L A C E asked whether, after this explanation, what he had asserted was directly contrary to the fair construction of o f the papers. It was obv.ious that the mo-ney was to be advanced, in the first instance,, by the Comptroller of the N a v y , to be af-terwards'replaced by the Treasury.

M r . T I E R N E Y said, it was evident •Lord St. Vincent would not allow of the application of the N a v y money to this expe-dition.

M r . G R . E Y contended, that Lord St. Vincent understood that the whole expence was to be defrayed by the Treasury, and his Lordship protested against applying the Navy money to it. He, had the authority of Lord St. Vincent to say, in .his own em-phatic language, he would have put his hand into the fire before he would consent to any such application.

M r . W A L L A C E said, there was nothing1

in rhe papers before the House to shew this abhorrence of the application such as it was.

M r ; S U L L I V A N was now loudly call-' -ed for on every side. Hebegan by lament-ing that he had had the misfortune not to be in the House when this discussion had com-menced, and therefore, he could but im-perfectly reply to all that had been said.— 'But he was clear that the expedition, was perfectly known to Lord St. Vincent, and he thought it but justice to all parties to say, that he was perfectly acquainted with the-

"'Whole transafc'fioh'-— ( A cry 0} hear! hear! from the Treasury Benches.) Lord.St. V i n -cent resided at that time chiefly in the coun-try, and therefore the communications with him were entirely by notes. His ( M r , S U L L I V A N ' S ) l e t t e r to S i r A N D . S N A P E HAMMOND was dated 9th February, on the 10th L o r d Hobart wrote to Lord St. Vincent that for security and expedition Sir A. HAMMOND was to take charge of the

'whole of the preparations, and to advance the funds which weie to lie afterwards re-placed. Sir A . H A M M O N D proposed to raise the money by an issue of navy bills, Which were to be paid off when the money for the expedition was issued from the Trea-sury. T h e funds thus created were paid into Messrs. Hammefsley's bank. He did be lieve, in the beginning, that Lord St. Vin-cent was acquainted with Lhe whole of this, arrangement. -But he acceded to the decla-ration of partial knowledge, because he was sure that the Noble Lord would not say that which was not true. But till he knew that his Lordship had declared himself so en-tirely i'gnorant of those particulars, he did believe that he was perfectly aware of them. {A cry of Hear! Hear ! from the Treasury Bench). l i e did believe the Hon. Gent, opposite^ when he stated, that Lord St. Vincent declared hfr w o u l d have sooner put his hand in the fire than.have countenanced th is application of the N a v y Money. But certainly Lord St...Vincent did not shew any aversion to it at the time, he supposed from •what had been said, because his Lordship did not know it was to be done, (a cry of hear! hear! from hoth sides). . M r . V A N S I T T A R T thought he could throw some l ight 'on this transaction, by stating what he knew of it fro.inJiis official situation at lifetime (Secretary qf the T r e a -sury). Great difficulty arose from the un-willingness of Lord St. Vincent to apply the N a v y Money to this expedition, fa ery of hear ! hear !. from the Opposition Benches) • and there being at that time no vote of credit^ the Only resource, that remained was, that the Comptroller of the N a v y should provide

'the funds in the first instance, and that they should be' replaced' from Vh'c Treasury as sbon' as the vote of credit passed. He was gjad -his Right Hon. Friend who was* then •Treasurer of t;h.e NaVy, had' explained 'the matt;6r in'the m'anhe'r he .bad done.

•'dence with what 'he knew of tlie facts, (a ' cry of hear!' hear /'jhim the Treasury ''B'inch f , ' though he could not suppose 'a'ny improper design in Lbi'd St. Vincent. At the same time it was obvious tliat the H o n . 'Baronet stood fully acquitted by the documents on the. table,'"i^o-far as that any charge may have been made against him, of, having acted in h'is business without being fully authorised.

T h e C H A N , of the E X . supposed the House must now be satisfied from the reading •Of the Papers, rthat there was ho intention to !takb'the House by surprise, nor to advance

any other unfair object, and that a try S u r -mise of that kind was absolutely unfounded. Whatever construction may now tie put on the words of the evidence, the obvious im-pression they were calculated to make was, contrary to the intention of the Noble L o r d , he did suppose, that Sir ANDREW H A M -MOND had issued N a v y Money for services, of which the First Lord of the Admiralty knew nothing. T h i s was the impression they had 'made on his Hon. tnd Learned F r i e n d (the A T T O R N E Y G E N E R A L ) t i l l

the matter had been explained. H e asked, under these circumstances, what would have been the consequence if t'he inquiry had been trifled in the manner that had been proposed ? What injury would hot have been done t®-Sir A . H A M M O N D , if it had been duly known that he had ad vanedd the money to be .replaced', but without the ..FISRT .Lord, .of the Admiralty .having any acquaintance with the trahsmionsfor which it w a s ad-vanced? N o w it appeared that it Was ad-vancedJor a service known and approved oh by the First Lord of the Admiral ty ; ' that there was.an arrangement that it-should be advanced by the Comptrbllei of-the Na'v.y to be replaced by the Treasury.. It now ap-peared, and it way a point much relied on,

, that in a transaction which was - purely na-.. val, and which w%s appiiov edVof-by the. First Lord of the Admiralty, there was no o b -

ject ion 'oh the pa it or that Noble Lord to the plan ;going; for Ward, "provided the expence Was not .defrayed out of the ' funds for the naval service. T h i s , was a new light, m which the transaction wbuid-not have been placed,' if this discussion had not been insti-tuted ; What the effect of it Was, he'should not say'. " ' i-

M r . F O X argued, that "Lord .St. . .Vin-cent's evidence must be. uhdefstood to be meant relatively; for-it was im possible to suppose the Noble Lord to say he was igno-rant of the Fact of' the stone expedition.—-He denied that there was any " dispositioij 'to stifle inqui 1 y, though, there'vvas 3 reluctance to let papers go to the public wk'ho.in know-ing what they contained, 01- in v. hat. they Were deficient. — H e Was positive that when the proper rime came.for investigating, that matter, the. Noble Lord's 'evidence would be t'-j-urid perfectly correct.

T h e C H A N , of the E X . inferred, that there was a disposition to-stifle inquiry, b e -catise the Hon. Gentleman's Hon. Friend (Mr. C K E Y ) wished to p'reven:these papers from being printed or read, and even pro-pbsed to rescind the "order for 'producing them, H e did not ki:ow, what the N o b l e Lord meant, nor did he ascribe any meaning tp him ; but the impression his evidence vv.oujd have made was, that he knew-nothing of the transaction, and that the step was taken without his 'kno\v:iebc;fe. He cited the letters, and contended, thai the Hon. Bart, had a right to correct any erroneous and un-favOu/aole impress ion1.

M r . GITIVY said, the Right Hon. Gent, had been guilty o'f wilful misrepresentation — fh cry of order!) T h e C H A N , of the E x . rose with much warmth.. T h e S P E A K E R

felt it his duty to inform the Hon. Gent, that die expression he had made' use oj" w as not justifiable. M r . GRE Y, was very soi ry that any improper expression should havecscaped him in the.warmth o f the: moment. H e contended that there was no.evidence of any disposition to stifle enquiry ; on the 'contrary, he had expressly declared, his desire that every .docu menfthat could . aid the defence of the Hon. Bart, or any attack to be made on Lord St. Vjncent should be produced, only-, wishing to regulate the. manner in Which such documents should b e allowed to go forth. He contended, that.the questions put to Earl.S,t,. Vincent w.eite only-• relative as to' the application of the mohey. ' •'

T h e C H A N , of the E X . stated, that what be had said was, that there had been an attempt to stifle thesepapeis, and he said so still. ' ' ' .

Sir C , P O L E was now called upon from all sides. H e stated, that the objects of the questions put to B i r f ' S t . Vincent related solely to the apparent irregularity in the ap-plication of the money. When his Lordship answered that he knew np'thingof it. His Loidship was then asked, whether it might not, ha ve been applied tothe stone expedi-t ion? He;answered, it could r.ot, because there Was no authority for such an applica-tion, the money for the stone expedition be-ing to come from the Treasury.

- T h e C H A N , of E X . thought it extraor-dinary that this explanatory Question andthe answer to it were omited in the Report.

Sir C . P O L E said, the question was asked for the purpose of assisting his L o r d -ship's memory. T h e same general negative being g iven, it was thought unnecessary to insert the.question in the Report.

M r . F I O B H O U S E called the attention o f the House to the deviation fi-ora the question.

which was, whether the papers should be printed ? HE-had a high opinion of Lord SR. Vincent-'in every student-; but before the explanation his impression was, thin lie ab-solutely k he W hbthing of the purpose to which this "money had been applied.

Admiral M A R S S A M allowed that he and Lord St. Vincent, and Sir Thos. T r o w -bridge, knew of ' the expedition, and once, When he expressed some disapprobation of it, Lord St. Vincent said, 7. Y o u ' and I have nothing to do with it, the money comes from the Treasury , "

• Lord1 D U N L O thought it strange that the explanation given to .Lord St.' Vincent's mind by a particular reference to the stone

'expedition, was not inserted in ,the; Report. I f the question was, put, why.was it not in t.he-.Minutes ? if it was in the Minutes, why was it not in the Report ?

Sir C . P O L E said, it Was not put down, bccau.se it had been ditected merely to assist Loi d St. Vincent's memory, and because it had not produced any knowledge of the matter in bis Lordship's evidence.

T h e A T T . G E N . said, the misappre-hension arose from the.unhappy circumstance that,the witness did not understand the ques-tion, which required some explanation for the direction of his mind. T h e question was put down without explanation, and the answer was recorded without qualification. T h u s ihe misapprehension was in the Report, without that Which had some tendency to correct it. ,

Mr. W A R D contended, from the time, that Lord St. Vincent must have been per-fectly aware that the expedition was going forward,.and that, the letters shewed it. T h e Noble Lord must besides have been aware that the money was to be advanced by the Comptroller of the N a v y , to be replaced by j the Treasury. ^

General G A S C O I G N E , from what had been stated by the Hon. Bait, who was 'at . the head of the Commission, thought it clear that the Commissioners conceived the N o b l e .Lord's memory wanted assistanceand direc-tion. T h e y knew his Lordship well ; and if ' they conceived his, memory was deficient, he could not imagine they thought so without reason. He wasthe more ready to admit the propriety of this proceeding, as he himself had been a- member of a Court Martial on a -very meritorious General Officer.(General Innes), before which the Noble Lord had been a witness, and the Noble Lord's me-mory failed him so much that he forgot pre-cise orders given by himself. He could therefore .conceive very easily, why persons so well acquainted with his Lordship as the Commisjioners, should.have thought it right lo assist.his memory on the occasion now. ah 1 tided t o — ( a laugh).

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY i".

In a Second Edition o f our (Courier) Pa-per yesterday, we announced that a Letter h a d been r e c e i v e d f r o m S i r J O H N O R D E , , w h o had arrived off F e r r o l . — I t was re-ported in addition last night, that the T o u l o n squadron,, after having raised the blockade of Cadiz,had enabled the Ferrol and Coru.n-na squadrons to come out, and that after hav-ing effected a junction with them they had proceeded oh their destination.—.For this ru-mour there is no foundation. When Sir J O H N ' O R D E r e c e i v e d i n t e l l i g e n c e o f the

To.u.lon fleet being within half a day's sail of him, his ships were overhauling their rig-ging, &c. In four hours, however, every thing was in readiness to receive the enemy. Our intelligent Plymouth correspondent does n o t state t h a t S i r J O H N O R D E r a i s e d , t h e

blockade of Cadiz as soon as he heard of ih'e'approach of the e n e m y — H e inforiris its, that.the gallant Admiral waited for them, made no attempt to engage our little squa-dron under Sir J O H N O R D E , hit riin into Cadiz, where they we're on the 13th inst — Another Plymouth letter mentions a report, saidtohave been brought there by the Syrius, a.nd another frigate that L o r d N E L S O N has arrived off Cadiz, and is blockading both the Toulon and Spanish fleets., though they are so m.uch superior to.him in force, being 23 sail of tlie line, and between 1,0 and .2,0 frigates. Sir Jo.HN. O 'Rba had only five sail of the line under him.

A report has been circulated, that the dis-cussion of the Catholic Petition is meant to be deferred, and that it will not take place t this session.

LONDON, thursdax, MAY. 2.

A mail from Lisbon arrived late last night. As the packet sailed from t h e l a g u s on "the 14th ult. it is almost impossible that it

iSho'uid have brought any intelligence from, Cadiz later than that of which we were be-

fore in possession. It has brought, how-e v e r , the i n f o r m a t i o n o f S i r J O H N O R D E ' S

.having arri ved with his small squadron off -Lisbon. T h e first account he received of the Toulon fleet was'from on.e' oT his own ships, which having gone in chace of two , French vessels, transports, run almost into1

ihe fleet to which the transports'belonged. She immediately haulediier wind, and com municated the intelligence to.Sir J . O R D E , who had just ' t ime enough to make every preparation lor receiving rlie enemy ; at one

rime they weie within gun-shot of him, Having, however, a. force so inferior to theirs, he was reluctantly obliged to quit ,his staturn, and to proceed ro the Northward. — F o r the 1 mii.sur of Lord NELSON'S bein^ in close pursuit of the French and having arrived off Cadiz, we are sorry to say there is no foundation. If is conjectured that the enemy, when they first came out of Toulon, steeled a southerly course for ashort. time on purpose to deceive some of our frigates, which were cruizing off Toulon to watch their movements. These frigates, as-Soon as they saw the, French come out and the course they, were steering, are supposed to have made all the sailrhey could to carry the intelligence -to Lord N E L S O N , who was o f f Sicily. His Lordship, imagining that Egypt-was tlie enemy's destination, and- that they would endeavour to go round the West erri part of Sicily, would, it is thought, cruise between Cape Bon .and the Sicilian coast to intercept tlieiri.

W e stated yesterday that some of the ac-counts which had been received, asserted that the French had actually gone into Cadiz. ' W e doubt whether that be the" fact. T h e only official account that has been received says merely " that the French were left off Cadiz"—not that they had gone into Cadiz. They had made signals, bat for what pur-pose, and with what effect, is not known. A question nfoW arises1; what 'were they' off Cad iz for ? for the accounts we ha ve received ' since yesterday oblige us not only to doubt, but to disbelieve the rumour of their having gone to Cadiz. -Did they stop off Cadiz and ' make signals for the purpose of getting out the French ship of the line and fhe fiTgates which have so long been in that port, or did they wait to allow time for the Spanish ships of the line, six of which were, known to be in readiness for sea, t.o come out and join them ?—It is probable that they waited for this reinforcement, w.hich would not detain them six hours, and then proceeded ,on their : destination. That they made any attempt to raise the blockade of Ferrol and Corunna, We do not believe; for .we should, in all probability, have received accounts to that effect. Are ihe.y gone to the East Indies or to the West ? When.tin: fleet first returned to •: Toulon in January, (after they had been four days at sea, they landed half their troops; so that when they sailed a second time on the 30th' of M a r c h , they had not more than four thousand on board .—If when they Were off Cadiz they only stopped for their • own ship of the line and the frigate, it i s . probable that they ,are .gone ,,to the East I n -dies, to which they might carry, without inconvenience pr incumbering their ships too much, so small a body of "men as fou.r thou* • sand. I f , which, perhaps is the more p,ro-• bable -.speculation, they stopped , whilst- the Spanish squadron came out and joined |hem, :

it is likely that they are gone 'to the West • Indies, and that Jamaica is their ©bjea-r~

the Spaniards might carry out about three thousand troopson board [heirships. T h e first operation upon their arrival in the West Indies would be lor the Spanish squadron to proceed to Cuba, whilst the French went to Martinique, to release the Rochefort

'squadron which might be blockaded there by Admiral COCHRANE— the Toulon and Rochefort squadrons would then proceed

-against Jamaica, joined by the Spanish squadron from C u b a . — T h e combined force

.would be certainly a very strong onte, as our readers will see by the following statement:

Rochefort squadron 6 sail of the line. Toulon, joined by a French ship

Of the line frorri Cadiz, IJ} Spariish squadron from Cadiz 6 Spanish squadron from Cuba S

39 sail of the line. If Jamaica, be their object, ,'w'e are happy ,

to be able to state that that Island is in a most respectable state of defence—that prepara-tions have been made with a view to repel attack, and that we have a.strong force there both of Regulars and'Militia.'

T h e following is the substance of the let-ters brought by the Lisbon Mail, whose ar-rival w.ehave announced above.

" LISBON, A P R I L 1-/1. <C A cutter lias just brought intelligence of

the arrival of the Toulon fleet off Cadiz , it consists of 12, sail of the line, besides fri-gates. T h e Spaniards, .have an. equal force (badly manned) ready for sea. Sir JOHN ORDE'S squadron of five sail of the line, &c. was at anchor off Cadiz , when ihe-enemy- made their appearance •; but notwith-standing their superior strength, and ad-vantage of the weather gage, thc-y shewed no inclination to come to action.

The.French Ambassador, who has been so fong expected at Lisbon, is at length ar-rived there.

A Letter from N e w Y o r k , dated the 25th of March, received yesterday afternoon, states that advices had been received that the French after leaving Dominica had proceed-ed against A n t i g u a . — W e are inclined to give-credit to this intelligence, for ships from the West India Islands often run to the American Coast in six days, so that accounts may have been recei ved at New- Y o r k from our Islands to the middle of March. Some of our cotemporaries seem surprized at our not having bad-advices from Dotainica or Bar-badoes, subsequent to the evacuation of the

'former Island. But it should be recollected, that as soon as the arrival of the French was known, an embargo would be. laid in all our ports to prevent ships from saiiin°. A packet, indeed, might have been dispatched, and may have been captured. W e mention this to account for our not having received intelligence so soon as was expected. From Antigua we arc not likely to have any infor-mation direct, if the French have made an attack upon that island ; because they would be masters of the port, and would of course prevent vessels from sailing with intelligence to us.

and St. Kitt 's, where they had destroyed ill the shipping, and levied contributions, and then returned to Guadaloupe. T p ihis is added, that their next attack was to be on Antigua, and that, several ships had arrived atSt , Thomas's from St. .Kin's, which got . a w a y before the French foice'anived iheie.

Other letters state thatthe French had been not to Nevis , but to Monsci rat and Sc. Kin 's .

T h e Beagle sloop of war, whose arrival from off Cadiz with dispatches we announc-ed in a second edition of our Paper yesterday was one of the swift sailing vessels left by

after he had proceeded to the N o n h w a f d . We asserted yesterday that the French did riot go into Cadiz. T h e advices'by ihe Bea-gle informed Government that tlie Flench squadron which appeared off C a d i z on ihe 9th ult. was no longer there on the lo.th -and the number of Spanish ships in the har-bour was diminished; Five sail of the line-supposed Spanish, were seen on the n ; h and 12th, beating to the Westward. T h e destination of the squadrons is still the sub-ject of speculation and conjecture, for rio-

1 thing ceitain is yet known. W e still adhere to the opinion' we h a v e before cxpieSsed-that they are gone to the West Indies.— Others suspect that they will attempt in the fir st instance to release the Ferrol and Corun-na squadrons ; that they will then continue their northerly course, reinforce themselves' with the ships that remain in L 'Orient and Rochefort, and proceed to Brest, of f which port they will wait till the Brest fleet comes out, a junction with which would swell their force to between fifty and sixty sail of the l i n e . — T h e persons who entertain this speculation, think that with this force they will attempt some decisive blow a^. inst th'U country. Others imagine that the Spanish

' squadron would have the Wal loon Guards on board, and that the combined squadron without Waiting for the ' Brest fleet," would in the first instance, make trie Irish coa.st, and then slip into the Channel between that coast and our Channel fleet, dash through

W e nave'just heard thai the -Bt-aa/e sloop which arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday from off Cadiz with dispatches, has brought a confirmation of the opinion we have e x -pressed in another pan of pur paper, that the Toulon fleet Would be joined by the Spanish fleet from Cadiz. Accounts differ as to whether the French went in or waited o f f fhe port till ttie Spaniards came o u t . — T h e point is not material—but it, is said to be ccrtain that the Spanish have joined the (French, and that the combined Squadrons are now at Sea proceeding on their destina-tion- ' ' '

A t length advices have been received from the West Indies* .and our conjectures that the French .would run-through the dif-ferent Islands, and,do us all.the mischief they could,, 'without attempting to jay .regular'' siege to any of the islands, has been con-firmed.

Some accounts from Holland as-sert, that the right wing of the army which had been in camp at Ostend, has lately marched to Boulogne.

_ T h e brig Eliza, of L iverpool , has' a r - ' rived at Falmouth, having brought in with her the Spanish, ship' Dos A migp's, from L i m a , bound to C a d i z ; she was captured on the 5th ult. by the above privateer, in company with the Greyhound lugger priva-teer^ of Guernsey.. Her value is immense ; she is supposed to be worth aoo,oool. in cargo, and specie of about 40,000!. which sum has been taken out by the privateers.

A dreadful occurrence took place on M o n -day Se'nnight, at the Hunet coal w o r k , n.ear Paisley. About nine o'clock, while the-men wereat work, the inflammable air in,the pit ,took fire. Four men were blown from the bottom of the pit into the air, the man-gled parts were scattered about in all ^Siifc- _ tions. One of them was found at the dis-tance of 300 yaicls from the mouth of the pit. There is every reason to fear that the other thirteen, who We're below, have all been killed. T h e father of one of the suf-ferers went down in the hope of saving them, but Was instantly sjuffocated by the foul air, A horse at the mouth of the 'pit was killed, and the whole o f t h e machinery blown to atoms.

T E N T H R E P O R T . •

Mji. P I T T moved the Report of the Corarriittee,- which was accordingly read.— When.lhe names were read,, which we have, a! ready primed:*

Mr.' W H I T B R E A D after condemning the manner in which tlie Chart, of E x . hid proceeded in the-business, said he should be deficient in his duty did he not call on the House to see v> lio they were in whom they Were now.called to confide for investigation. T h e r e were those who made oath,.they Could nor attend on Committees wiih con-science to tlie public business. Lord Castle-reagh had positively sworn that his attend-twice would produce material inconveni-ence; so had the Master of th.e R o l l s ; the Judge of the Admiralty had done the same. Here were threedisquaiified by oath from the duties of the Committee. M r . Whitbread objected especially to L o i d Castlereagh, whose conduct, for, many years, rendeied him an unfit person. There was another Noble Lore! from Ireland [Dunlo] who held an office under the present Administra-tion. T h e r e was Mr. Foster^ ton, who, as well as the Master of the Rolls, "and Sir Win. Scott, could not attend without public detriment. He had ratlier see plain, honest country gentlemen in their places. L o i d Gastk-reagh was not*.merely a placeman, but a perpetual placeman*. Nothing could, move him. He was not shaken by political storms and tempests, they only bound him more firmly to his post. T h a t Noble Lord seemed invulnerable; he laughed at the convulsions of Government and parties.— Nothing short of an earthquake could shake him. He had been already celebratedjar having.two strings to his bow, and he kept his bow always strung. Jrle seemed not only to.have two strings to his W , but as many as a certain person was. noted for hav-ing to his knees. He was in power in Mr. Pitt's hist Administration. He performed some ser vices at the Union ; after the Union, leaving his affectionate country, he came here, and; was in place again. That Admi-rd.traito.n went out, on a S P E C I F I C PUB-LIC GROUND, and another came in on a

'directly ojifiisite principle j but still the Noble Lord clung to office, and kept in. place.:— That Ministry was turned out by the help of Mr. Pitt ; but then the Noble Lord was again in-power, and now he is in a new Coalition ! He did not question the puiity of his principles in all these evolutions, by which he.continued to maintain his position, and keep himself where he i s ; but would th'e country think him a proper person to in-vestigate the conduct of his patron ? He and his patron, no doubt, deserved each Other's friendship for their mutual services. — F o r what was the Committee appointed ? T h examine delicate and secret transactions. T h e Noble Lord had been engaged in simi-lar transactions in Ireland, and his palate lii.sy have been vitiated in these matters ; and the public and he entertained verydi f -rent ideas on the uses and. abuses of the pub-lie'money. T h e Noble Lord had been charged with a scandalous,misuse of money, inpayments to perso)ns,in Iieland, to carry the Union, and had stood, and sat mule.— T h a t charge had beeh re-stated in the British House of Commons, ahd he was again mute. (tWiir! hear!) Pie was convinced that the Right Hon. Gent, opposite [ M r . Foster] would hot have made the charges could he not have proved them. Pie would refer the N o b l e L o r d to his Irish Friend: What , if be denied them ? "Why examine Mr. Foster at the bar. Something like L d . ' Melville's delicate transactions ihight then turn out. Was the Noble Lord fit for the Committee, for which he had been selected by his patron ? N o ; the public would never be satisfied with such a Committeee. After soliciting permission to withdraw his [ M r . W . ' s ] name from the list, the Hon. 'Membei concluded by moving, That the name of Lord.Casile-

• reagh be struck off, and that of M r . Baker substituted in its room.

[ M r . Baker, Member for Hertford, is, not attached to any party but he generally Votes with the Minister.]

T h e M A S T E R of the R O L L S declared he had never represented himself as so ab-

sorbed iff business that he had not a moment of a day that he could devote to this branch of his parliamentary engagements.

M r . F O X —^Considering the conduct of the Right Hon. Gt. [ M r . Pitt] as implicat-ed in the charge, I think it most indecent that-his own colleagues should be appointed to'the Committee—-But if he can accommo-date his feelings to such a line of conduct, I sincerely congratulate him on the convenient effect of his insensibility.

M r . ' P I T T . — T l i e . Hon. Gent, seems disposed; in order to, justify a sort of Ian 'guageof defiance, to represent the person i o whom the expressions are directed, as not., only on his trial, but as, if convicted, arid as having received his sentence even before . he is , accused.—-I think undue influence ought hot fo be employed,, but to say th/it to • suggest a list, to the inspection of a Member wits" undue, influence, seems air assertion not at all correct, because it can by no, means, be discoveied if the party had or had not i voted according to that intimation.—It was said'that the House was to'look to what the public expected from it—but a party cry,

iwhich assumed to itself the voice of the people, was not to. be mistaken for the po«

. pular sentiment.

M r . ' S H E R I D A N . — T h e R i g h t H o n .

Gent, has presumed to call the opinion of the nation a party t r y . — Were the resolutions of the .city of London a party cry? We: e the meetings all over the kingdom a party ciy ?

. Was the i'ote .of the House of Commons a paity cry ? —Respecting the individuals pro-posed -lor the Committee, I do not challenge them without "cause. N o one holding a place under the Crown is a proper person to examine the conduct o f the First Lord of the Treasury. (Hear! Hear!) A person like Lord Castleicagh, who bad since the Union acted with the Minister; went out with him, came back i.ntooffice without him, and remained to open a back door for the Right Hon. Genu's admission, is not a fit man to be employed on such an occasion.— It was curious to see a person put on the Committee, of whom it was said he had corrupted the Irish Parliament.—If he would commit ,such practices with regard to one Legislature, his inclination at least would not be cfeficicnt.tp do the same to another,— T h e Right Hon. Gent. [Mr. Pitt] when the subject was started, made no objection to a'fair'Committee-—he feltsp closely touched, so soie when his conduct was doubted, that he would have the matter fully examined -and sifted to the bottom. T h e n , said my friend ( M r . Whitbread) a man of honour, in such a disposition, would have no con-cern with, if possible no knowledge of the pai ties by whom the enquiries were to be prosecuted. But what was the conduct of the.Rt. Hon, Gent. ? He.said, I will pre-sciibe the Vine of-your m a r c h — I will appoint the commanders in the field,—He drew up the indictment by which he was to be ar-raigned, and nominated t h e ' j u t y before whom he was to be tried-—I will tell tlie Right Hon. Gent, in such.a proceeding' he has not consulted his own honour—the peo-ple will be disappointed, for they are enti-tled to a lull, fair, and impartial investiga-tion.

M r . II . L A S C E L L E S asked if Mr. Whitbread had any objection to his. [ M r . L. 's] name remaining on the Committee.

M r . W H I T B R E A D . — B y no means—I had your name inserted in my own list.

Mr. F U L L E R , from what he had heard drop from the Master of the Rolls on this and former occasions, thought him a mere quibbler, and if he was always quibbling in another place as lie was here,, fie would not give a farthing for his arguments.

M r . C A N N I N G vindicated the selection of the Committee. He considered that the majority of tlie [louse who.saw the drift of the proceedings of , Opposition, .would not give them countenance.

Mr. J E K Y ' L L said,,it would be no more than consistent, with the . usual dec.ortiin of the House, it M r . Pitt,, whose conduct was the object of discussion, -should withdraw himself, while it was pending, and offer no interference that could be supposed to -have any influence over the decisions of tbeHouse.

' M r . W I N D H A M , on account .of, the friendly intercourse which formerly existed between him and Mr. Pitt, wished that his name should be struck' off from the Com-mittee— but if obliged by the vote of the Ho use to become a Member of jt^. under its present constitution, he declared that he should'enter into it with disgust.'

Lord C A S T L E R E A G H adverted to the charge advanced against his proceedings re-lative lo the Union.— U p o n the whole of that transaction he reflected with satisfaction, and with regard to the assertion of his Right Hon. Friend [ M r . Foster] which had been quoted by an H o n . Gent, it was never used in the sense in which the Hon. Gent, pro-fessed to understand it, for if his Right H o n . Friend Teally believed him to have corrupt-edly applied the public money for the pur-pose of carrying the Union, his Right Hon. Friend knew his duty too Well, not l o 'make it the subject of public impeachment.

M r . G R E Y : asked, was it properto ap-point the N o b l e L o r d to the Committee ,who might himself be implicated in the misappli-

' cation of the public money which was com-plained o f ? T h e Noble L o r d - had been

distinctly charged in.that l-Touse with having carried the Union by con upr means ; he therefore called upon lhe House riot 10 sanc-t i o n a n appointment that must pioducea most injurious inference abioad, 'with respect to to the character of the Flouse. A s to the character ot Mr. Pitt he should say nothing. He would put all idea of personal delicacy for him out of the question, ' as the Rt, Hon. Gent, himself appealed to feel ho'degrce of delicacy upon this occasion.

T h e A T T . G E N — I think M r : Wind-ham, who entertains scruples about serving

of all good qualities. H e could not be said to have a veiy good feeling, towards the per- i son accused ; but he was acute in his feelings j of p r i v a t e fiiendship, and would no doupt j make these qualities go hand in hand. - Mr. R . T H O R N T O N thought/the list ,j

made out a very proper one. ; M r . M A R T I N [of Gal way] , did not

think that a Minister, merely as such, ought J to be objected to as a Mernbei of the Commit- j tee, but might be objected toas an individual on the nature of his character as a man. Such as if he had been mean when out of place, and guilty of corruption in it, or lor any reasons that were personal. H e was one of those who voted for the Act of Union between this country and Ireland, but since, he had been in this country he repented of that vote, and he would state some of his reasons for having so repented.—[Here, he was interrupted by a loud cry of question, and afterwards sat down.]

T h e House then, divided on Mr. Whit-bread's motion for expunging Lord Castle-reagh's name, and subsiitutinglbat.of Mr. Baker in its p l a c e — A y e s 86—Nc.es.219-— Majority 133.

Mr.' F O S T E R brought in the Iiish Bank T o k e n Bil l , which was read a first and se-cond time, and ordered to be committed. •

M r . S H E R I D A N , after alluding in a speech of considerable length to the impor-tant services of the Naval Commissioners, iead. a motion to the following effect: " T h a t the Committee had, as lar as appeared,, ex-erted themselves with great diligence and activity, and that the whole of their conduct entitled them to , the warmest approbation and encouragement of the House."

M r . P I T T left it to the feelings of the f louse to take whatever course it might think proper, but he.would not himself prcssany paiticular motion.

M r . F O X approved of the conduct of the Commissioners. T h e y pursued delin-quency through all the obstructions oi high office, and against the frowns of p o w e r ; and they succeeded in detecting and exposing the criminality, of one of the principal, offi-cers ot the Crown.

M r . W I L B E R F O R C E moved as an amendment, that the words " the whole-of " be left out.

M r . S H E R I D A N and Mr. W I L B E R -F O R C E having withdrawn their respective motions, the former brought forward ano-ther without the word " whole, ' ' which, was agreed to with a division.

M t . F O S T E R 'said those papers were never deemed records of Parliament, and therefore there might have been a difficulty in procuring them. But every endeavour would be.made to get them ready as Soon as possible.

Sir J. N E W P O R T moved, that there be made forthwith a return to the order of fiist of Apri l , relative to the Accounts of Cri-minal Prosecutions in Ireland.

i T h e number of Spanish ships which have joined , the Toulon squadron is staled to be no more than

seven, making the whole force iS sail of the line. T h e sailing ot" these flceis. wil l , no doubt, be the

occasion of speedily furnishing us with some impor- ' tant, and, we persuade ourselves, highly pleasinp intelligence. There is the greatest probability that the enemy will now be brought into action, the event of which we may almost lo a certainty anticipate in our favour.

T h e hearing of the Catholic Petition in the House of Commons is deferred to Monday next.

It will be seen by our Cork Article, i h a t t h e E x -pedition from that port to the West-Indies is coun-termanded, in consequence, it is supposed, of: the official corroboration of the juncuon o f the French and Spanish squadrons at C a d i z . — T h e trecps, it is said, are to be immed iat-ely disembarked.
