Lord FOLKSTONE moved the further adjourn. ment of the call of the House till to-morrow. General GASCOIGNE thought this continued ad journment had a bad tendency. Members thought it preliminary to an adjourned debate, and the conse quence was, they were not found in their places. To hold this any longer over their heads, was treating them like school boyi ; and if Members had • urgent reasons for not. voting, the Noble Lord might de pend upon it he could not controul them. The Ho , ' nourable Member would therefore take the sense of the House upon this subject. Lord FOLKSTONE deprecated any idea of con trouling Members : he meant the House to determine on his proposition. Sir THOMAS TURTON 'spoke against the late ness of the Huuse'-s sittings, which, he said, was such as must prevent their bringing to the House the men.r sang in cot - lion sane. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he bad no idea, after the patient manner in which.the House had heard him, of entering into the subject artin. He had merely a few words to say in explanation, which he had thought proper hitherto to tiefer, and which he should still think proper to defer till. a more advanced period of the discussion.. He. should then, o°, take an opportunity of explaining the condition of the question before the House ; for he was persuaded. that- if the House-were to divide now, there would be many Members at a loss-whe.; ther to. say Aye .or No. The 11,414., Honourable. Gentleman should support the Noble Lord's motion as long as it were necessary ; and as to the future ar rangement of the debate, lie thought that it.would not be consistent with the health of Members to..sit every dity thirweek and in case of the discussiOn!s lasting bcynad Tuesday, he should propose to make a breach in the-Week, and adjourn till Thursday., • . r • • - The question was then ra and carried, with the single negative voice of General Gascoigne. CAPTAIN ST EBBING. Mr. CURWEN rose to request the permission of the House to read a letter from Captain &ebbing, whose name had been mentioned in the course of the inquiry beforeshe House ; but Mr. WHIThREAD rose to order, and suggested the impropriety of suffering it to interfere with the more important discussion before the House. The SPEAKER said, it depended upon the in. dulgence of the House. The letter was not read. THE DUKE OF YORK. The Order of the Day was moved for the resump tion of the adjourned debate on the conduct of the Commander in Chief ; when, the SPEAKER. hav ing stated the question liefire the House, file SECRETARY at WAR rose and said, that it had beenmade out to the satisfaction of the. majo rity of to e House, that no reliance whatever was to be place on the testimony of Mrs. Clarke.—(No, no, no! —Hear, hear, hear?) The Right Hoisoura ble Secretary repeated, that in the material part of her testimony, as to her communication with his Royal Highness the Duke of York, her evidence was to he wholly laid out of the question. The Right Honourable Secretary then proceeded to go - through the several cases, and to argue, first that if Mrs. Clarke had any influence with the Duke of York, his Royal Highness did not ktfow of it, and second ly, that she had no such influetice •He urged the importance which Mrs. Clarke always attached to the Gazette, never knowing of any promotion other wise ; and her ignorance of Major Tony.n's being ac tually a Major, till several days after ; this was ac tually the case, as appeared by her letters before'the House. In the case of Major Tonyn's promotion, the fact was, that when Mrs. Clarke pressed for it, it stopped, and when she ceased to press, it proceeded; The Right Honourable Secretary admitted the ge nuineness of the letter, which had been so much dis cussed ; but that was no ground of corruption in the Duke. As to the presumed notoriety of all the cor ruption which had been proved, so far from the Duke's being obliged to know it, the parties' them- I selves did not know the channel of their application,' till a considerable time had elapsed ; they did not know Mrs. Clarke was to make their applications.— I The HOuse had placed itself behind the scenes but no one had ever done it before. As to the establish- ' ment in Gloucester-place, which had been stated at 10,0001. a year, it was greatly exaggerated ; and ex. eegt in the article of horses, the Right Honouradel Gentleman thought it not an . immoderate one: He concluded with a high eulogium on the Duke's ser vices to the army, for whose present high state it was solely indebted to his Royal Highness. Sir FRANCIS BURifiETT said, that after the. , • . able and ample . statement of . evidence w hi c h t h e House had so , v r t e n h ear d on this subject, it certainly couldnot be his intention to detain them by its fur- therdetail. All that was left for him to do was to, draw. his deductions, niake his comments, and .;hew 'the effect which it had ou his mind in forming . his. decision. It was a little extraardinary to observe the Chancellor of the Eicheoer, the Attorney-G'eheral, and, in fact, the whole legal. phalanx of the House, Whose constant and practical .habit was accusation, now ranged, as if rend voce, on the side of the acCused. He could not but observe the yzonderful bias which 'their minds seemed to have)tlken, the 'surprising, *oneness to conviction, alI os one side! Misch 143 they displayed of professional acutene ss, and many had been their animadversions on the conduit of his Hon. Friend (Mr. Wardle). One of then' had re presented him as putting out his little skif upon a large and boisterous ocean. He had, however; steered his voyage by the Polar star of truth, and there was little d iubt it would have an happy period (17ese; infamy must M em b er h a d i ns i nuated that must attach sinnewhere. After 'their r u ng and 2tlXin ens sitting, after their protracted debates, and their minute examination of evidence, he would ask s could int,. infamy attach to his Honourable Friend ? (Loud crier of' Aro, no.)—Where, then, should it f a ll but on the. head of him with Whom the imputation -had originated ? As to the speech and opiniens . Of the enAucet.Lon of the EXCHEQUbt, they were so sophis tical and uncandid=so full of manifest prejudice and, bias, that they rather appeared the statement of an Advocate, than a Judget and even considering them those of an Advocate, were injudicious (Mat the openness of their partiality. What ! when any man ventured to assert it as his impression that Mrs. Clarke had no influence over the Duke of York, was it not a mild epithet to say, he had prejudged the cause, or was blinded in his judgment of it ? There were some minds, it seemed, who could not, in the glare of sunshine ; see the plainest objects, but whose . vision was most accurate even in the de: kness of Mid night. Every trifle against Mrs. Clarke's veracity was instantly taken hold of, while her most seriously corroborated statements were utterly. di4regarded. But it was in Vain to attempt an inValidNtion of her testimony.—" She came (said Sir . Francis') to the bat of this House with the. most hestileientimeots,agains; her : she was examined as to all 'the history of het. life, its most minute transactions, up froni the tradlt, to the present moment : as she proceeded, the grow: inn conviction of the House *as sensibly apparent; and when she retired, there was not a Being among, us so sceptical as to donisf her truth, oi r f irnaginithai any human ingenuity could have fabricated such'a mass •of circumstances, so' vi ell ciiiiiecteck`and . ' so bonwout bay 'document's."---tHier Pheiarf)=. litithing- but the simplicity of fact • could have sup. rimed her amid such* trial—against all the Layers, who endeavouring to entrap - her weri"themsdves de. leited—even his Majesty's own' Attorney General wasfoiled. :ref Issig4). What then ohs "the aftre?ek retort to which they were d r i v en i n their overthrow ? . Oh, Mrs. Clarke was -a genins r -sttch talents.---stich • surprising ingenuity—there -never was any' thing like it in the , Xvorlcishe could:ds any thing,nay But it was •a vain subterfuge.; .she, with all her ta lenti, could neve r have got up such a drama as had been presented, to the HOuse ; he Would . ai'so . cm be: here she could write Macbeth itself. Siipposinther even wrong in those transactions where she was the Only link,- yet there were collateral circumitaiices=•- • there were documents—there were middle agents Which could not be frittered away. But • the Duke .could not beprovad a party to the 'correption: ' doubtedly it was not to be expected that the Mika. was to receiVe money an the face of an audience—that he was to call Witnesses to - see the fact ; -but still the corrupt influence was apparent—th e ver y wave r ing lof his advocates in his defence might prove it. '['here, for instance, was the Chancellor of the Exchequer setting out, as indeed the Gentlemen of the Long Robe generally do, with the fairest premises ; but instantly, as if he knew the fair position was not tenable, he draws the most foreign and inconclusive inference. Mrs. Clarke was not to be believed ; no, .she was too great a genius for that. Nor was Miss Taylor to be believed, she had trumped up the whole story with Mrs. Clarke ; aid their ignorance of some circumstances was adduced as a proof of their falsity, which': very ignorance was the strongest instance of their. credibility ; for surely 'had the story been preconcerted between them, they would have taken good care that nothing material should have been omitted; but as that partial ignorance did not condemn-them, so neither did it go to acquit the Duke of York ; other considerations were not to be forgotten, asincharges from theßench, in causes even .of life and death,- circumstances, when strongly-col literal, went to influence the verdict. Thus it is said, that the words repeated. Miss Taylor, " h o w d oes he use you, darling," do not go - to prove a corrupt connivance : admitted, and what is- the obvious in ference ? Why, plainly that the story was not fabri cated between Mrs. Clarke and• Miss Taylor, and that in telling the. whole truth, they would not Conceal either the.weak points or those which made against themselves. Thus it appeared then, that the dtfence of the Right Honourable Gentleman went to .suyport the accusation, all his ingeniou s -hypotheses to the ground, and in his hauds trifles-light:as aid" were converted into f'-vonfirm strong:': : A Member on the floor, who had taken': part against the Duke, had even made a better-defence for hitn when he acquitted, him of the Chief charge;--a cor rupt connivance. A Learned Judge too, who had spoken earlrin fite m 'Aebate, had tone comp l etely to destroy the credit... a - Mrs. Clarke, • and . had .asserted, without p roo f however, that she hid . ...crkradiet e d herself 28 tim es .
