On our admiflion into thc Houfe— Lord C r. ..RENY! LLE then rofe, and laid, that he had given his silent vote to the Addrefs moved the pi-cc:cling day in anfwer to his Majefty's gra cious Speech from the Throne, becaufe it did not contain a tingle word againll which the fin:Welt objeCtion could be offered. It had, therefore, his hearty concurrence. But on teeing the papers that had been jolt laid on the Table, he felt it neceffsry to fay a few words. He atrored the Houle that he did not mean to enter, at that moment, into any cliicullion or debate on the Preliminary Arti cles of Peace with the French Republic, for the confideration of whic;:, there Ns/Quid, doabtlefs, be an early day Pet apart, but that obferving, that by the lixth Article of the Preliminaries, " The ter ritories and poffeffions of her Molt Faithful! Ma jetty !hall likewife be preferved entire," it appear ed to him, that it would be impetrate for the Houle, when the day for confideration of the Ar ticles fhot.ld arrive, to enter into it effectually, without fuller information before them, explana tory of the meaning and extent of that Article, to which he had alluded. Every man who hat at tended to what had paired refpeCting our Allies during the war, and efpecially refpeCting Portugal, could not but know, that many matters of molt ferious importance molt neceirarily be involved and comprehended within the meaning of that Ar ticle. He airured his Noble Friend, the Secretary of State (Lord Pelham), that he fhould feel fin cere regret, if he found liimfelf compelled, by a fente of his duty to the Country, to appear to be even under the necellity of oppofing the meafures of his Majefty's Government. But the honour and interelts of the kingdom were deeply con cerned in the true conitruition of the Article in (python, which might in one view of it apply to Naples and the other Allies of Great Britain, as well as to Portugal. He hoped that among other conceflions to the French Republic, faerihoes of our Allies, to whom we were* bound to preferve the itriaett faith, had not formed a part of the pur chafe of the Peace that had been obtained, which would dirgrace the national charafter, and be at tended with confequences that mull materially al feet our future fecurity, and irothe highell degree endanger our commerce and profperity. What he xsiihed to learn from the papers that appeared to him to be neceffary to explain the article rerpeet ing Portugal was, what was meant by the words olthat article ? It was impollible for their Lord !hips not to have become acquainted, through the medium of the French papers and our own newf papers, with the fa 11s, that in the courfe of the war Portugal had by treaty ceded certain provinces to Spain, and by a fubfequent treaty a hill more con fiderable portion of her territory to France. It became a queftion, therefore, of confiderable portance, that previous to difcuffion of the articles on the table, the Houle fhould have before them papers tending to thew what was meant by the words, " !hall likewife be preferved entire."— Were they to underhand, that the integrity of Portugal was to be preferved, as Portugal Rood before the war ? or, Was it meant that the inte grity of Portugal referred only to the Rate of that kingdom as it Rood on the lit of OCtober, 18ot ? It was by afcertaining this great and important qucilion previous to the entering into a difcuilion of the articles, that the Houle could alone be enabled to judge of tittle two things ; firft, Whe ther the good taith of this country had been kept with our Allies ? and rear, what was the compa rative value of the facrifices and conceftions that had been made to the French Republic, and of the Peace that had been obtained in exchange for thole conceflions? In order that their Lordfhips might clearly underhand what papers he witbed to call for, he would read a Motion that he had drawn and meant to offer to the Houle, unlefs he heard from his Noble Friend, that it appeared to his Ma jellfs fervants that there were rcafons, which they were able to affign, or that they felt rearons which they did not chute to aflign, that induced them to wills that the papers atleed for fltotild not be pro duced. He himfclf did not feel that there could be any ohjeetion made to the motion, and he well knew that under fimilar circumflances, fimilar motions 1. Id born frequently.granted without objeCtion.— Itis Lordihip here read his intended motion, the purport of which was, for an humble Addrefs to his " that Copies of all Treaties, Cs/oven ( and Agreements, that have been made s.:•!,in the lait year between any of his Majeßy's :es and the French Republic, which have been nonunicated to his Majelly, be laid before this n.e." P.) tilde papers the Houfc would be put . iFetTion of fuck information as niif ; lut ex .,:n in vitat degree, and to what extent, the in-, • o ity of Poitugal was agreed to be rail - veil, h would 1, - Tye to fhcw xshether the ' , OC , ti Loris i; c. ,alt‘ to her old and 14411116 .stlly had I cr Vntlld nc , , he n.ry am arc, cna , cr tu •.oc .1. ti • n. C.; , from the articles, that Ile ha 3 made to the French Republic. He repeated, that he had the highelt refpeet for his Noble Friend, and fisould - deeply re gret the being obliged, upon the point in quefiion, to oppofe the meafures of his Majeay's fervants. So far, indeed, was he from meaning any (itch matter, that if his Noble Friend *would fay that he had his rcafcas for' willing that he would not prefs his Motion at prcfcnt, he would molt readily for bear to make it. He hoped fincerely, that his No ble Friend would be able to render the moving for the capers wholly unrkeefrary, by an explicit de claration, that the integrity of Portugal meant, that the treaties with Spain and France, to which he had alluded, were annulled and refcinded, and that Portugal was agreed to be rellored to the en-, tire poffellion of all her territories, *bleb the held before the war. Should the Noble Lord unfortu nately not be ,able to anfwer in that fatisthaory manner, he fhould deeply lament that fuch a con cellion had been made to the French Republic, fince, under the exiling circumflances and litua timi (no matter to what that fituation had been owing), it did not appear to his mind that fuch a ftcrificc was in the fmalleff degree nceeffary, or that it could have been made confiftently with a due regard to the national honour and interells. Lord PELHAM role and lamented that his Noble Friend, in the courfe of what he had faid, fhould have declared that he might feel it necelrary to op pofe the meafures of his Majefty's Minifters, and cfpecially on the important point in queftion. His Lordfliip laid he lamented it the more, as he en tertained the utmoft refire& for his Lordfhip, and knew the value of his abilities too well not to be extremely anxious to have the honour of his flip port,, efpecially on a matter of fuch importance as the confideration of the Articles upon the Table. If he underflood the Noble Lc.; d correaly, he reli ed his arguments for calling for the Papers Rated in his intended motion on two grounds—the afcer taining what was the extent of the meaning of the 6th article refpeaing the integrity of Portugal, and the being enabled to judge of the value of the Peace that had been obtained, comparing it with the conceflions that Great Britain had made to the French Republic. As a feparate day would be moved to be appointed before the Houfe feparated for taking thofe Articles into confideration, his Lordfhip laid, he law no occafion for him at that moment to enter into any difcuffion, 'that mull ne celfarily turn upon the fubjeft. When the day of difcuhion fhould come, he would be prepared to enter into every neceffary explanation. With re fped to the papers referred to in the motion, which his Noble Friend had read to the Houle, it muff tardy be recollected, by a Noble Lord offo much greater experience than himfelf, that while matters hood between this country and the French Repub lic as they did at prefent, in point of negociation, fuch papers could not be laid upon the table with out confiderably embarrailing his Majca y's fervants, and greatly endangering the public laterals. He hoped, therefore, his Noble Friend would, on that account, agree to withdraw his motion. Lord GRE N• IL LE role again, and laid, he felt it neceffary to take notice of a particular expreffion made ufe of by the Noble Secretary of State, which referred to .him (Lord G.) and which the Noble Lord could not have ufed, but from mifapprehen lion of his words. He had declared that he fhould fincercl.• regret, if, from want of the explanation of the (lath article, he fhould feel himfelf called upon to do any thing that looked like oppofing the meafures of his Majelty's fervants, but furely that declaration did not warrant the conftruetion, that he withed to make a general oppofition to the mea lures of his Majefty's Government. Nothing could be farther from his mind, his meaning, or his pur pole. On the prefent occafion he flood in a re fponfible fituation, though not in office, from which he neither would, or could, fhrink. He owed it to himfelf, and to his duty to his King and coun try, to call the attention of the Houle to the very important conlideration refpealing Portugal,which he had Rated to their Lordfhips to confequence of the doubtful wording of the firth article. It was of the fluff importance to have it known, whether the treaties of cetlion of territory by Portugal to Spain and the French Republic were not refcind ed ? If report might be relied on, and the treaty with- the French Republic was fuch as the French Rated it to be in their official papers, great con ceflions indeed had been made to the Republic— conceflions of the moll alarming nature. Among others, the French were Rated to have been grant ed free accefs to the Brazils ; the only fupport of the greatnefs and fecurity of Portugal, and which conceflion (truck immediately at the root of the commerce of Great Britain with Portugal, and muff utterly fubvert it, and render it impraficable in future. He Rill hoped, therefore, that before the Houie feparated, his Noble Friend would be able toaffnre their Lordfhips that the treaty between Portugal and the French Republic was no longer in exillence ; but that the integrity of Portugal meant, what it was highly neceffary for this coun try that it fhould mean, viz. a refloration of the full pofreffion of all her territories, as Portugal Rood previous to the war. He was obliged to his No ble Friend for the very handfume manner in which he had been pleafed to exprefs himfelf refpeaing him ; but he certainly would rot withdraw his mo tion, becaufe he had made no motion. He had declared that he did not mean to embarrafs his Ma jelly 's Mini flers—cet tainly not to oppofe their mea int-es unlefs in matter; of loch moment as left hint no option. On the contrary, he was ready, defir ons and willing, to give them all the al - finance his humble abilities would enable him to give, pro vided they continued to aft with flrmnefs, and maintained all that was alike dear to the honour and dignity of the kingdom. In that cafe they might command his fupport.—With regard to the motion he had read, he had erprefsl) Lid, that if his Majefty's fervants felt TC.ll6lla for wilting that the motion fhould not be made, avhetlier they af figncd thole reafons, or did not mflign them, he uould not prefs it. His Noble Friend had eaprefred a giound of obkaion, and therefore the motion flicAd not he is: id:. I Lord Ns. ;It T. !, Le .71:111 beg to he I• Truti.f !N.?", .t mat t.c dilcufliun nal). r ran , 5a..1.:1 - &Cur ~Lion when the articles fhould re platy be taken under the confideration of the Houle. When that day came, he hoped he fhould be able to anfwer , his Noble Friend in a fatisfa(tory manner. He re gretted that any expreffion made ufe of by hint, on the firft day that he had the honour to addrefs their Lordfhips, fhould have been founded in mifton ception ; but he did not feel much pain in having mifconceived the Noble Lord, fince it had drawn from him a declaration, given in the moft candid manner, that he did not mean to enter into an op pofition of the meafures of his Majefty's fervants. He was perfuaded that friendly declaration would afford as much fatisfaetion to thole with snimm he had the honour to act in office, as, he owned, it did to his feelings. Lord PE t. H a st then gave notice, that he would on Tuefday next move,that the Preliminaries of Peace with the Republic of France be taken into confider ation, and his Lordfhip moved, that the Lords be fummoned for that day. Lord HOBART apologifed for begging to poll pone making his motion of 'Thanks to Sir John Hely Hutchinfon, and the Officers and Army (cry ing wider him in Egypt, according to the notice he had given the preceding day, becaufe, on ioro ceeding to draw the motion for the T hanks of the Houle to be given to Admiral Lord Keith, a dif ficulty prefented itfelf, which had not been fore feen, and that was, that it was found, that the ! official difpatch had not been received from his Lordfhip. ,It appeared upon reference to prece dent, that it bad not been ufual to vote the thanks .of the - Houfe to officers in his Majefty's fervice, for their gallant conduct, before the official difpatch had been regularly received, which brought the account of the exploit on which the vote of thanks was grounded. For this reafon, his Lordfhip Paid, he hoped the Houfe would permit him to pollpone making his intended motion for the thanks of the Houfe to Sir John Hely Hutchinfon, &c. for the prefent—Agreed to. The Duke of CestaNCE Paid, lie hoped the ne. ble Secretary Of State would take the firft oppor tunity of moving the Thanks to Sir John Hutchin , fon, and the Officers and Army raving under him, as loon as the official difpatch fhould be received. Lord HOBART laid, he could not have afforded I a ftronger proof of his defire to lofe no time, than the notice he had given the preceding evening. THANKS TO SIR JAMES SAILIM•RLZ, &C. &C. Earl Sr. VINCENT then role to move the Thanks of the Houfe to Admiral Sir James Saumarez, for his gallant and fpirited conduet in the aetion with ! the united fleets of France and Spain, off Gibraltar,' . in which he had deftroyed two Spann men of war, and taken a (hip belonging to France. His Lord-1 (hip Rated the particulars of the engagement in the Bay of Algefiras, in which, notwithftanding the lois of ore of his Majelly's (hips, owing to a matter which Sir James Saumarez could not prevent, that meritorious officer difplayed the molt daunt left courage and energy. That in that engage ment the fleet of Sir James was much crippled and difabled, but that neverthelefs he made fuch won. derful exertions to repair his damages, that he was loon afterwards enabled to purfue the French and Spann fleets, and to engage them with the molt decifive fuccefs, although greatly his fuperiors in number and weight of met al. This gallant achieve. ment, he declared, furpalfed every thing he had met with in his reading, or lei vice, and when the news of it arrived, the whole Board, at which he had the honour to prefide, were (truck with afto niflament to find that Sir James Saumarea, in fo very (port a time after the affair off the Bay of Al gefiras, had been able, with a few (hips only, and one of them difabled, efpecially his own, to come lip with the enemy, and, with unparalleled bravery to attack them, and obtain a victory highly ho nourable to himfelf, and effentially conducive to the national glory. His Lordfhip faid, the merit of the brave Admiral fpoke fo ftrongly for itfelf that it would be unneceflary for him to take up more of their Lordfhips time refpeeting it, and, therefore, he would make his motion, which he read to the Houfe. Lord Vikount Ns xsots immediately rote to fup port the charafter and conduit of Sir James San marpz, on which his Noble Friend had jun ex preffed himfelf in fuch handfome terms. He laid, he was under particular obligation to that gallant officer, who had been fecond in command under him in his moll important and fuccefiful engage ments. That in the aftion in Algefiras Bay, he was perruaded Sir James would have achieved his objeCt, and carried the enemy's (hips into Gibral tar, but for the failure of the wind—an accident which the Admiral could not prevent, and which enabled the enemy to haul their fhipsfo ;tole within (bore, as to defeat Sir James's purpofe. Nothing difmayed or difpirited, however, with the unfortu nate event of that attempt, Sir James made won derful exertions to put his few Chips into a condi• tion to fail after a fleet of the enemy, and to attack them though their fleet confined of ten !hips, and Sir James Saumarez had but five, and his own (hip greatly difabled. The glorimas refult their Lordffiips well knew ; but he was not furprifed at the matchlefs intrepidity and (kill of his gallant friend, when he confidered the profeffional fchool in which he had been bred, viz. under the late Lord Howe, Lord Hood, Lord Bridport, and his Noble Friend, the Noble Earl who fat next to him (Earl St. Vincent.) From Inch great ' mailers he could not but have but learnt every thing that was courageous, fpirited and magnani mous. His Lordthip added fume further panegy rics, and concluded with apologifing to the Houle, for having intruded on the time of their Lord (hips, but he protefted he could not refrain from attempting to give his teflimony to the merit of his Gallant Friend and Fellow-Admiral. The Motion was agreed to 'smirk. diffintientr. Earl Sr.Vi N C INT next moved the Thanks of the Houfe to Captains Hood and Keates, and filch of the officers as principally diningnifhed theninives in the two engagements under Sir James Samna rez, in the Bay of Algefiras, and oil Gibraltar. The Mix of CI nether laid, he rote to illy a very few winds ; that lie Ihould have ri;cll earner, fins wricn he law his intimate friend, the Hero of the Nile, al.out to rife after his Noble Friend at the ' head of t h e Admiralty, he id. that it did not bc• come him itt take the lead of the Hero ()fa t Nil, He role now, as a profeflional man, to exprel; !•-, entire concurrence with every fyllable that had tit l ien from his two Noble Friends in comtnendatioi of the gallant Sit- James Saumarcz, and to decl./:, the fatisfaaion . he felt in the thanks of the llouf, having been moved to thole brave Officers, Capt.

They were bet:: as deferving Officers as any in his Majetty's f,as but he could fpeak more particularly to the met;. of Captain Keates, having ferved under him f, 4 four years and a half during a former war, as a Midthipman in the fame watch. He was perfual. ed, whenever the country fhould be engaged ia another war, Captain Keates would entinertly 6t tinguith himfelf. The Motio• was agreed to nemirte dffentimite, as were likewife the two other Motions made ofeouri? in applaufe of the men ferving in the fleet of t-,,r James Saumarez, and to requeft that gallant Ad. miral to communicate the fenfe the Houle enter. mined of the good conduel of the other Officers, Seamen, and Marines. 1 he Houle adjourned to Tuefday next. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The new Affiftant Clerk, voted at the dole of laft ScEons i was introduced, and took Ha feat at the table. Several new Members were introslucid and (worn. Sir W.

His Lordaiip's Letter was then read it acknow- ledged the receipt of the Speaker's Letter; exprelfal his deep fink of the honourcociferred upon him by the Houle, and re turned his acknowlesigments to the Speaker, for the very p o li te manner in which he conveyed the Thanks of the Heide to him, &c. &c.

However, he recotrimenda Gentlemen to turn the queftion in their minds. TREATY ■RTWEYN GREAT-BRITAIN AND RUSSIA. Lord HAWILESIURY brought up copies of the Convention figned between Great-Britain and Ruffia, 17th June, aol, and of the Preliminary- Articles of Peace figned between Great-Britain and France. PRELIMINARIES. He then moved, that the Houfe fhould take the Preliminaries into confideration on Tuefday next. Mr. GRLY faid, he did not rife to objett to the motion which the Noble Lord had made, but per baps no inconvenience could arife from his Acing an explanation upon one or two points ; and if he was fortunate enough to obtain an anfwer, it might affift the Houfe very much when they entered into the confideration of the Preliminaries. It was true that the Preliminaries had only jufi been laid upon the Table, and, therefore, in point of form, he could not be fuppofed to be acquainted with their contents ; but it was alfo notorious, that they had been publifhed in the pliblic Papers, and were known to every man in the country. In looking over there Preliminaries, there were two points which appeared to him to require explanation; however, if the Noble Lord was of opinion that it would be improper, or inconvenient, toanfwer his queftions, he fhould not prefs them. The EA point was this ; there was an s4cle in the Preli. minary Articles, by which we flipulated for the integrity of the Dominions of Portugal; he withed to know, whether by that article was to be under flood the Territories of Portugal as they !land now, after the ceftions whirl had been made to Spain, or whether it meant thofe Territories as they flood before the commencement of hoftilities ? It appeared to him, that no inconvenience could arife from giving an explanation upon this point, and, therefor!, he hoped the Noble Lord would anfwer his queflion. The next fubjedt was one which he confelfed did not arife out of the Pre liminaries, but yet it appeared to him to be of the greateft importance, and to require explana - tion. It could not have efcaped the attention of thofe who took an intereft in the great ..eent which had fo recently happened, that about the time or a little previous to tie figning the Prelimin ries between this Country and France, there was A Treaty of Peace figned between PortugalandFrance. In the body of that Treaty, he obferved a Ripula tion which he wifhed to know whether Miniiiers bad information of, or whether they had receivzd any fatisfadion from France about, he meant an Article by which it was ftipulated, that the Mann faaures of France were to be admitted into Portu gal upon the footing of thoferof the moft favoured Na tion,? This flipulation appeared to him to be incon fillent with the Treaties of Commerce fubfifting bc tweea this Country and France, and muft give rife, on our part, to a new fyftem of Politics and Com merce, and muft mike an alteration in the nature of our connexion with Portugal. He wifh..)d to know, whether Minifters were aware of this cir• einnflance when they figned the Preliminaries of Peace? He admitted that the fituation of Portugal, and indeed the fituation of Europe in general, was ft) changed, as to render it neceffary, in fame in (lances, to deviate from, our old fyftem with Pots tugal, and undoubtedly the ftipulation to which he had alluded, would make a complete change in our cionmercial and political relations with that country, and., therefore, the explanation which 130 i required, appe able them to di however, the / decline giving it, but Mould o f the Noble g i w ve it,would t isfatlion (wilt at the Peace. dange rs to win by this Treaty , if better terms ro us as, the fi be, (till that t w ould be great t hat Miniffers Country for h would not trou fent, but refer Preliminaries, to enter into th Lord Hawa anwillingnefs roan, that he n which he recant now, it might degree, irregul therefore, withe Ewer until the i ta king the Po w hich occafion ppilible inform duty.
