HOUSE QF LORDS'S, MARCH z 4. Lard WA L wootutie repred that the Earl cj Baelvinaltatoldre bad made out pis dabs to vote at the Medico of the leis Peers, as Lard Hobart. The Property Bill and the Salt Doty BM. were read a third time, and ordered to be committed for to-morrow noun ptjltACS. &C. Their Lordkips Waived into a Committee of Privileges, and Lord WA LIIINtIIIA II having taken the Chair, the eonederation of the claims to the above Barony was retuned. Same evidence was put in on behalf of a recent chiniantes•Alter which a petition was prefented on the part of his Grace the Dake of Rutland, afferting his right to the Barony in queition, and praying leave to be heard by Coaukl in rapport (gibe fame. 'This proceeding was urged by Lard DYNEVOR, on the pan Of W Orme, who combaded by moving to the effedt as prayed by the petition. The LORD CHANCELLOR made a few okfervadons as to the then Rate of the proceedings before the Committee, w hich orb aimed in the c la im s put in by Lady Henry Fitzgerald is ode of the co-heirs of a legal pallbffee. He adverted to the Standing Or • der, Webs:died upon a Pethioner to delver a printed Basement of his cafe within fotatean &matte fedi petition being prefented. The Order being read, the Agent of his Once was celled to the Bar, and informed of the proceeding called for by the Order. In =of what bad meetly occurred, it was agreed by their Awe the Curthereenideration of the cafe &add be ad journed till Tudday fortnight. The Committee made fame petards in titter confideration of the Petitions of certain kik Peers; and the refute of the' day's pro. geldings was, that the Chairman be diredted to eneee, that Wil. Earn Lord Habana had made good his claim to the eight of voting at Medians of Pam to fit in Padianietto The Houk then returned, and after prayers were read, Lord WAJAINOHAM repotted to the Houk, as above, ac eordingl7. MIITINT BILL. Previous to the fecond reading of the Mutiny Bill, The Marquis of BUCKINGHAM role, and beg ged leave to call the attention of the Houfe to the innovations which had been made on that Bill (ince it was hit before their I.ordfhips, particularly in thole clanfes by which the Prelidents of Regimen tal Court* Martial are required to be on oath them felves, end to adminiiler oaths to the other Mem bers of the Conrt, and to the witneffes to be examin ed. The Noble Marquis Bated that it was not his in tention, 'on there grounds, to oppofe the fecond read ing of the Bill, but merely to call the attention of their Lordlhips, and of the Noble Earl who forward ed the public bufinefs through this Honfe, to the al terations which he had noticed. He had at the fame time to regret, in common with the Noble and Learn ed Lord on the Woolfack, the difagteeable lactation in which that Honfe often felt itfelf placed, of either impeding the buftnefs of the Nation, by interfering is Bills to which, by the ufage of Parliament, any Ulceration made by them muff prove fatal, or of pat: fins Bat which were grofsly defealve and objeltion. We- LorcIWALSINGHAM conceived that the Abair 'rations of the Noble Marquis were irregular and pre. mature. He knew it was in the contemplation of the Noble Earl (Camden), when he thould come to move the fecond reading ofthe Bill, to notice the altera tions to which the Noble Marquis had alluded. The Earl of CAMDEN, having moved the fecond reading of the Bill, recapitul ati ng, the different also. rations it had been d eemed advifible to make on it, - The Duke of CLARENCE Paid it could by no means be fuppofed that it was his with, at Each a period, to objet to the prefent Bill. It was his in. tention, however, when the Bill lhould be propofed to be committed, to call the attention of the Houfe to the alterations which had now for the fir& time been introduced. He thonld therefore move that the Honk be funmsoned for the day on which the Bill was meant to tie committed. • • . The Bill was then ordered to be committed to morrow, and the Houfe to be fummoned. LOW I RALTT ROARP. Earl DARNLEY roll, agreeably to notice, to move for certain papers, which he had intimated hie intention to move for on a preceding day,. for the purpofe of Comparing the condua of the late and of the prefent Admiralty Boards. Certain pepers,fome... what conneaed with the Mika, had been moved for by a Noble Earl (Patellae) fome days fiat, but they were not fofficiont for the objea which the N o bl e Lord (Darnley) had in view. His objea embraced two grand points ; it having bee, objefted again* the late Admiralty thaithey had cot, a fa& cleat number pfiefels of a froal Gze engaged in the ferrite of the country.—His enquiry went to. thit k namely, by what fpecies of force had this deficiency , been fupplied by the prefent Admiraity..Board, (ince their coming into ;Ate! sd, It having been alledgod ay an additional; charge againli the late Navy Board that they bad improperly negleaed the budding of drips of war in mew:hates yards —The next Ova of his inctiryiroild be for Nell evidence as might be wiaterinl49,§ient ipow.fax this praCdce was or was not lis.e beneficial to the .Country, and conducive the the Wl' provernent of the Navy ? In confidering there points. it was hislosdiltip's intention to confume very little of ' I.,ordastps' time, and to abliain from every :t • which/alight have th e . molt dill ant tendebcy to r4pe.anylibvatiortafrom the Noble JL e ord OWE $ the bead °kite Admiralty Board. All he wifhed was a fair opportunity of judging of the merits of the two Admiralty Boirds, and that all argument and dif cnffion on the fubjea thould be refereed till the pen neceffary to form fych a judgment thould ke before the Houfe. Oa the former of there points, it Would be neceffary for the Houfe to be pot effed of an account of the (hips purchafed and employed in his Majefly's Navy fince the acceffion of the prefect Admiralty Board, with their age, tonnage, the va luation put on them, the rums paid for them, the ee -1 pence of fitting them up as (hips of war, and of any alterations time made on them. As grounds for this motion be thought himfelf warranted in Rating, tho' he by no means pledged himfelf for the truth of the age/lion, that Cenral of the (hips thus pnrchafed were unfit for fervice, had been repeatedly declared fo by thole appointed to infpe& them, and bad neverthe lefs been pnrchafed into his Majeßy's fervice. For this purpofe he muff move for copies of all letters and reprefentations betereen the different Boards on the fubjea. And alto for all reprefentations front the different commanders, refpcaing the un6tne( of the wails to perform the Cervices of (tips of war. On the fecond point, as to the propriety of build ing in Merchants Docks, the Noble Earl faid it would naturally fall to be a matter of enquiry, how the number of artificers in his Majeßy's Docks ffood in comparison to what they had been at the time of the mutiny, when it had been, deemed neceffary by the late Admiralty Board to difmifs many of them from their fituationx. This was rarely the more neceffary as it would appear, that korai per Eons Who had been then difnuffed had finci been received back into his Majeay's yards. Such. a Rep, unqueßionahlT. could alone be diaated by a feeling that there were not a fufficient number of artificers employed in the Dock yards at the time the prefent Admiralty Board came into office. So far, however, from t h is being the cafe, he was informed, that in March Igo* the number of artificers employed in his Majefty',s clocks exceeded ibofe employed in March, 1805, by upwards of izo. As to the propriety of building in the' bier. chants yards, Come Mica might be formed from-this/in gle circutaftance, that while Sipa of 74 gbns might be built in the Afing's Docks at la per ton, and at a fair piofit in Merchants Yards fr= 241. to 251. per ton, the' prefect Admiralty had t'ontrafted for Sips of a fanner dimenfion at no lets a fum than itil..per ton. The Noble Earl then proceeded to thew Whitt bad been the repair of twenty Sips' for int year, within the laR twenty years, In the Merchaats yard*, and by calculation Sewed that the expo* Of entire; ly rebuilding 'thefe (Lifts would not have e;ceetled one half of the amount of the' furits'aatiallf expetided for repairi in a tingle year in 'Meratants Docks.— His Lordthip would read his motions, and comment upon theta as they occurred; their* wa. for - a An Account of all the 'tips width have been parehsfed fir hi. Maiefty's Navy line. the ibth of May, tlO4, ipeeitying front whom, their op ao4 toontre; .the valuation pet on theta by ihe Olken of ase Dock Wards, the Anna paid for than, the ex pense of actin them as thips of war, in the Marabous and g' Kins Yards, and. of any Nutradono ;nude In than *nu they were brit fitteg.". • • •• • • To this Ise underilopd po oppo4tion was likely to be offered, and therefore he would not trouble their Lordihips With any okifervationi on it. His next .polio would be for " Copies of all Laura and Reecefentations which have eased between the Admiralty and the Nary Simile, and 'bemoan Mak boards lad the Sommeßoners, or other Odkers of the Dock. Torda,. refrain, thele Wye ; aSo of all reprefentadoos from their Commanders, rafpetting their unitises to perform the Cervices of *alps of war." • If this laf motion thould be refuted, as being . too general, he &odd have no objeigion•to omit any ppaaof it, or to Make' any alteration in it that th e Noble r Vifcount at the head of the Admiralty should require or fuggea. The letters which he was prin cipally an sous to, obtain were thofe from the Commanders of the Hindoftan and the Hymn:, two (hips wltich bad been taken into the ferviee.— One of thefe he underflood to be an old - Weft India man, whole back had been broken, which was re. ported not At foi fervice, and which, neiwithaand ing that reßrefentation, had been parchafed at an ex. - pence of fomething *yew:soca. His'next motion would be for • ' • " An Amon of the espeace of arming thefe Shireilledelfying thenumber, nature, Mid cadhie of the posy whist* w ere re ported to ( fie capable of carrying when asp were pore sad of ally alterations which had been Snce made This be underilood would be conceded to hint.— His fourth motion would be for ri Copies at ar Reprefentations which have been made by.the Comunandera of tbefe Sips, on the fubjedt of their pits." As it was poffible Tome objettiols" might be niggd spina the granting of this, he would not, if it should be refuted, perfevere in preffing it. His nest motion would be for ,• . • . ' - • . " An Account of the Number of Artificers and Labs:owe% who have dikharged thanfrives from his Majefty's Dock-yords at Deptford- and Wooludel, in each month, tiled she If' of June, 1504, fpedfyins tbdr ftferal dories, age, and tine of Jet vie." • * .Neither this, nor the following would, he heliciad, be reified. . • •: • • - ..• 'floe member el Ilypwidstats borne in all the yards on *lit 4= 4°52' thole two left motions ihould be complied with, he bad lirong reafons for fbppoling that it would appear to the fatisfaaion of every Noble Lord who heard him, *at fewer filipwright,s were borne in the gimes yards at the commencement of the pre fent month than st the correlsondingperiod late year. His Lordihip here ftatad the nntnter of men who had been difcharked frost thi different yards at vari. ous times by the late Board of AdMiralty, fame of whom were ftiperannuated, and others dirmiffeld for nsifcanduft. He contended that there - Were a (Mailer number of men employed in the King's yards on the I 01 March, iBo3, than on the to of March, tBo4;' the number at the latter period. beiig 3336, whereat) thole employed at the :commencement of the preCent month amounted only to 3st 3,,.being 123 leh than the ,eflabliihmeat at the fame periodlaft year.L—Hts neat motion would be for ? • * Lift. of his kinjeltyrelhips veld& bars been ordered to be repaired in the Merchants laid. lione ebe LA of Jape,; 11p4r He would'oext move for A; Lift ot Ships of War ordered to be balk or ecetradied for 'Tom the above period op to the prefevt time. *diving the doe, of foet orders or masa.. and the rate per too at wikb hack ehotrable have beeit made." OM workmen in the King's yuds Were. PrOWIT I " elated, there would be no (+coition .tehlsuild in the Meacham yards. In the - former he finderaond, that at raisin a 74 gun fliiplimuld be:bailt for 311. per ton i whereas, if he was rightly informed, the con trails lately entered into with the Merebant-builders amounted to the enormous rate of 361. per ton. Lei the Houle and the Country contrail the difference be tween thole eapences, and then they would be enabled to form an idea of the provident management of the petrol's by whom the Naval Adminifiration of the country was at prefect conduced. He would next ;nave for " An Account et the flans Rid by the Navy 'Board. and to whoe, for the repair of the following Ships in the Merchants Yards. In the years espreffed spina their names, viz. is ;783 Loweltoffe 1786 Magicienne 1793 Maiatone 5783 Bolton 1 179 t Datdahas 1793 Santbinpeon 1784 Retribution 1792 Andromache 1793 Niger 2784 L'Aintable f7O Flora 1 793 LLiard a 784 Tartar 3792 Fury 1793 Pear) 1784 !hetet, 7792 Bun-dog 1793 Carystotg 1785 Ariadne 179 a The repairs of thnfe twenty (hips, he was inform ed, had con 298,884. when they might have been built in. the Royal Yards for a funs not amounting to half that &M. His tan motion would be for " An Account of the Sums for which Ships of tbe fame Ike and force might base been built at the time period, according to the conned prices then paid to the Merchant Builders." It was not his !Motion to fall any thing at dig time upon the comparative merits of the fate and . prefent Naval Admsniftrations. - He meant nothing perfonal to the Noble Lord at the head of that depart inent—his °Nett was to inftiente an enquiry, the re •folt Of whicirk thought would be beneficial to the country, into one of the AA important parts of its expenditure; However, he coul4 not avoid obferv jog, that he thought the Noble Earl near him, who war lately at the beed of that department, was par 7 tictilarlignalified, from his profeffional knotiledge, to difcover the 'abed 'which were pillaged in it.— When he 'was' firfiplaced at the head of that Board, he (4;6°4 enquiring into thofe abides with an honeft and ardent zeal, and having difeoiered that the moll enormous aback were committed ink, he fet about with a refolution is laudable, the correaion and the fbture prevention Of them. For that purpofe he pro tiered the appointinent of a' COmmillion which had already rendered the Mott important Cervices to the country, and for the dl4loluuon of ' which he could dikover no one fulficient motive, uulefs the ftrapge determination fhonld have been adopted of perpetu ating thole abate, 'Which it had Co' indußnouily de 'elope/L.6nd the poffible recurrence of which it had fliggefted the means' of preventina. ' The country, however' which was faifible of the fetvices of the Commiffion of Naval Enquiry; would not Coffer itfelf to be deprived of the advantagesOf thole difeoveries and improvententi.' which 'they hid made and fog geleil—they would not, in fo importaheabrinch of Omit:defence and expeodithre,' as the naval depart mant,:forego the •henefits that 'might be expeaea, from a motcceeirred and economical adminiftration Of the immergefowia that . were fo.fredycontributed for maintaining it. Hi - Would' trefpafs no longer opt* their Lordiliips' tithe," but 'Melee the fiat rerolution. frLum 1 Lord MELVILLE had ne ru ' ' to' the Mo tion made by the Noble Lord'. ',mild not be lie ceffarifor him to trouble their ' (hips muds vat length upon the prefent occafion ; whatever he 11 . .. to fay would come more regularly when the pape r s, which ft was the objet of the /voile Lord's hretion to obtain, thould be made the' foundation of Come lisecifretefehnionr.• He would not (brink from the difcuffion. There . wi l s - doe :point, however, upon which 'he would, even at the prefent Ilage , of tit ~ooceeedings, declare himfelf. If there were any Same applicable to the repairing a (hips hrthe mer &tots'. yaccts, that:Toe, he beggedto be =den Rood, he vrould &din y take upon himfelt liewonkl acknowledge f that he had adviled and recommended 1 that the King's thi s &to ld be repaired in thelner chains' yards, and for this reafon, becaufe he thought in the aloe in which our navy was, it could not be kept up without having retort to the facilities for re• . pairing it, afforded by the merchants' yards. Upon the propriety - of that meafure, he cha ll enged difcuf #oll9 and would be happy to meet the Noble Lind *ben the folsjed thould be fairly brought before the Uoufe. As to the calculations With which the Unufe had been entertained, it would be premature in him Ns' dircufs them then ; whenthey fbould be regularly before their Lordfliips, he would have an opportu lacy of enquiring into them, and making deduaions frum them by no means favourable to the conclufions drawn by the Noble Lord. If he were to be deno minated a culprit, becaufe he had contra fed for the ,Iph knilding of (hips in the private yards, he would only fly, that he had offended in common with alma livery Board of Admiralty, except the left, that had ever exilled in the country. The principle upon ich they did fo was one of the molt powerful, it was one of prong neceffity. It would not be poffible to keep up the navy of this country in time of war, to maintain it with that formidable and commanding atpea which it ought tupreferve, without having re. ' enerfe to building in the merchants' yards. It Was .. ..poirtkile that tome new fyftem might have been elle bliibed, Come egregious and notable difcovery, fuper ceding the wifdom of all former Admiralty Boards, might have been made, but neither he,nor thole with whom he had seed, thought that the honour, the advantage, or the fecnrity of the country, would be confulted by a rat). departure from the fyfiem which had been fo long and to beneficially aged upon. He would, at the fame time, frankly acknowledge, that he did not think that the merchants' yards were to be built in out of choice ; they were employed from ne ceTty in time of war, beeaufe the Royal yards were not - fufficient to meet the exigencies of the ter lice. Whenever the comparative expence of build ing in the King's and the merchants' yards thoeld fairly' become the fubjed of ccrnfideration, he would not decline entering upon the comparifon. As to what the Noble Lord had advanced refpeaing the hes-reale of the price in building fhips of war, and the inferences to the difadvantage of the prefent Na val A.dminidration, which he fuppofed he meant to draw from the comparative rates of prices he had awed fat:, :he would elk, was there WC of their Lordihips who could expekto build a houfe now foe the. fame funs it would have colt fifty or twenty years ago i The Noble Lord, he underflood, meant to bring forward the quellion, and it was to be the priqcipal °hied of his motions on another day, whe thef it would be advifable to continue or abandon en• tireir the praittice of building in private yards? That wo dbe'll Fiir•tuode Of tinning it to iffie, and om upon which he would hart no reluctance to meet thf Noble Lord. For the fervices in his profefronal c. pacity of the Noble Perfon in his eye (the Earl of St. Vincent) he bad all the refpea they deferved : bui it was not new in the hitlory of this country, that. under the adminillration of naval Lords, the navy bad more than once been in danger of mouldering. and had welt nigh one to pieces.. He had only to call the attention oftheir Lordfhips to the naval ad miniftration of Lord Sandwich, a perfon regularly bred to the prefeflion, and yet. evirh the exception ofont. the Navy fell more into decay under the management of that Board, of which be had been at the bead. than when it was prefided by perfons, neither whore habits nor education were profeflional. When, he would elk, had the Navy been molt llourithing ? was it not at thole periods when it had been fuPerintend ed by a Noble Earl in his eye (Earl Spencer), and another Noble Earl (Earl of Chatham) whom he did not fee in his placed Under whole management of the naval department were the vittories of Earl Howe, Earl St. Vincent, Lord Duncan, and Lord Nelfon gained ? He had no objeCtion that as full an enquiry . as poffible Sall be intlituted into the condo& of tbe late and prefent Admiralty Boards, but he did not intend that the Tuition (Mould be decided upon the documents moved for by the Noble Lord. He would alto bring forward Come dOcuments, tending to illuf trate Sha former invariable . praiftice of the Board. of Admiralty. upon mall of the points touched _on by the Noble Lord. It was not his intetnion to objelt to ally Of the material documents moved for , by the Noble Lord t there were, however, Come of the pa pers which he did not think it would be prudent to have produced: 'He would, therefore, via thu part of the Second liefolution beginning at the words u alto of all reprefentations," to the conclnfion ' fisould be omitted, and that the whole of the fourth Refolution fhould be espunged. He did not think, being copies of letters from COmmap t lers of (hips, that they were ertrentely important in the coufidera tiOh of the great quellion it was the object of the No ble Lprd tq bring forward: He was aware that offi cers, as it had been obferved, were often in live with their 'hips, but the proffers of the paffion here was different from what obtained in all other4afei ;It was teldom very' se'ervi at the beginning.
