the highefl importance. By fame accideat the dg- , fence was nut produced, the client was fenteneeet to banifhenent, and the orator fent the fpeeek.• meant to be friil,:in in his behalf, to comfort him in hi. er.:le. The condo& parfued on the prefent occali••n was pree.y much of a piece with this fort of prricedure, and certainly the Right Hon. Gen— tleman's fprech this evening was not at all calculated • to ferve either the cl..arader or the views of the Noble, Lord whole caufe he had In warmly efpoofed. He could not fee on what principle the fort of fnbterfuge b a d b ee n retorted to, but with the idea of defeat ing the calls of juftice, and he thetetore deprecated any attempt to involve time proceedings of the Houle in inconfifleney, and to difappoint thole jolt expeda lions which the nation at large now entertained. it was not eafy to fee the grounds on which the propo fition fubmitted to the Honk by the Honourable and Learned Gentleman was introduced, for he could not allow for a moment that any of thofe lions on which it was attempted to be joftified were at all confident with truth. It was not true that the refulutinn now pinpofed to be refcinded was one obtained from the Honti by furprize. It was, on the contrary, agreed tn, after one of the graveft de bates and with the fulled attendance of Members almofi ever witnefl'ed. It was, however, contend ed. that a great majority of the Houfe were (a vowable to the mode of pvceeding by impeach ment, and that a (mall minority carried the queftion for the criminal profecution ; this be utterly denied, and indeed it was impolEble far any Gentleman to Thew arty proofs in fupport of loch a declaration.— How could the fenfe of Parliament be afcertained on this important fubjed 2 Why Curdy by the number of votes; and if In, then the majority was adverfe to the cootie of proceeding by impeachment. It was fin gular, however, tn hear the Hon. and Learned Gen tleman row calling loudly for impeachment, after having rafted criminal proceedings under any of the forms prepared. A Right Hon. Gentleman oppofite (Mr. Canning) bad on a former evening liated that he preferred the cruelty of impeachment to the mercy of a criminal profecution, but he too, like the Lear ned Gentleman, conceived that to take no Reps at all in the way of puniflanent was the fitted entree to be purfned. When the quellion was Taft folemnly difcured, a Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Pitt) bad, thought proper to obferve the molt rigid fiknee, though furely if he had thought that the motion now fubmitted was it to be pared, he was bound to offer an opinion.on the fabled; on that day the Right Hon. Gentleman had been kft in a minority, while by the • influence of the friends of another confiderablo Mem ber of the Cabinet, a propofition which he had re filled was aElually adopted. After all this he anted, whether it was At, when the Route generally under flood that the bufiners was finally fettled, when many Members had gone into the country under this im preffion, that a matter of loch magnitude fhould be again revived, that a Refolution fo folemnly acceded to, fhould, by taking the Houfe by futprife, be at tempted to be refcinded ?--If any flep of In extreor cEnary a defcription was meant to be retorted to, it wasamot too much to ails, that notice of fuch a motion Mould have been regularly fubmitted to the Houfe. He himfelf had not been very flack in his attention to this burinefs, and he was free to declare, that he never heard of any motion brought forward in fo extramdinaty a manner. He was convinced that the Houle ir. general were, previous to yeflerday, unapprized of the fliglitcfk intention to bring Lar val d (Itch . motion, as that produced this evening; and he is aq Equally Ittisfied that the only object of it was to defeat all that bad hitherto been done to being Lot d Melville to a fair trial, on that part of his coi.duet an which the dirPlEafure of the Houle had already been pronounced. If the prefent motion Succeeded, it would only have the died of tendering every previous determination of the Houfe alto gether.nugatory. It was argued, however, that as the Civil Snit had been ordered, the criminal profe euti.rt had been precipitately adopted.. In this pro pofition he could by no means aequiefce. The Houfe bad, under a pat ticular view of fads, ordered the civil fuit s but in confequence of the difelofure of addi tional proofs of guilt they had thought a heavier fpeciesof punifhment indifpenfible. In that cafe there was no refcinding of a former vote of the Hoofe.— There was merely a mow,: fall and decided expref- Lon of the neceffi,y of a fe-ierer punifhment, when the extent of the delinquency was better ellablilh ed. This was perfedly evident. that the Noble Lord himfclf equally objedled to the mode of pro ceeding, or by criminal profecution. If tried by either of the two Modes, he had declared that his fituation and treatinent would be erotic than that of the meaned cottager in the land. If brought before a Jury, he ar pied that his cafe had been fo far prejudged, that no plaice could be expeded—but admitting this to be true, folely for the lake of argument, it was tarp to fee that the fame objection held againft the trial by Ewa . Chment. I3ut it was faid, that by objeding to dub laill•mentioned mode of proceeding we went the length of maintaining that the privilege of impeach went &mild be totally abandoned. He could by no means Mien to fuch an extraordinary inference ; but time Houk having decided that the mode of crimi • nal profecution was preferable, they could not with any rega. dto cor,fil ency depArt from it. He admitted that if his ideas had been ailed upon, the }Lure would have proceeded in the form of impeachment, but a contrary &ciao') having been adopted,it ought not on light grounds to be relinquilhed. He would not deny that the mode prefcribed by the Houfe was attended with fume difficulties, but they were nut fuels as to jut• tiry the Attorney General in bringing forward any pro poiltioa for fpecific inftruCtions to regulate Isis eondult. If he was not prepared to fulfil the willies of I' tr/..tment after the general inftrudions he had received, then he was unfit longer to dilcharge the important duty which he rt as now called on to difcharge. It was the bufinels and the duty of the Learned Gentletnan to do junic,c betwixt the Noble Lord and the Public, and if lie conceived that he cvuld not afford this junice, and if he felt that this judice could not be obtained in his hands, then it was what fairnefs required, that a. Winch of fir much intereft ()mould go into other management. It was a very ftrange objection to this Cisminal Profecution, that it had been agieed tn, only by the pr a eponderance of of about t •rty or fifty Members, us oppofition to the general fettfe of the Houle. Thu objection was the more wonderful, when it was recolleaed, that out of a Howie, c-nfilling of nearly five hundred Members, :so - fewer than two hundred and , • thirtpeigitt Ante found • tti ftiispoit - the criminal profecutton. To talk, then, of the real fenfe of the Houfe not baying been &dared, was to aliert what was totally contrary to the adult ilate of the cafe. How the fpecific • number of forty.thret, - whole influence had been fo much alluded to, had atted, he would not now decide. Whether it was the influence of one part of the Cabinet played off against the other, be would not then flop to alcer. tato ; but, at dl events, the nonfe had nothing to do with theft content. It .was enough to know, that after the given deliberation, R.efolutions of the confequence were palled againft. Lord Mel ville for his saifeondue in one of the higheft offices in the State. If' forty.three Members did dedde this momentous quenion, this was no proof of the impru dence or the vote of the Houfe, or of the inconfilt ency of the individuals compoting that Body; they aEted from the impulfe of honourable fentiment, on a great public queitinn, and thcir decifion had difufed throughout the country the utmoil degree of fatisfac- Gon. To reverie the decifion niche Houfe now, was a very indecent and uncalled far proceeding. Many Members were abfenr, whole opinions could not, at this period of the Setlion, be again collated. In every view of the fith,ieei, therefore, though originally in. dined to prefer the mode of proceeding by impeach. ment, he thould vote againit the motion of the Learned Gentleman, from a conviaion of the dange roes confequences of dilturbing a folemn decifion of the Hoare, obtained after the rulleft confideration of all thrzircumitanees connected with this interciting queftion. • • General LENNOX conceived that Lord Mel •ville would be very improperly brought to trial be fore a Jury of Weßminiter. From the fituation in which his Majetty had placed him, he had a right, according to Magna Charm, he had a right to be tried by his Peers, at the profecution of the Hoofe of Commons. It was right that the Houfe &mid be always ahle to carry its complaint againft a Mi. Miler, whom it fuppofed to have afted mcorrealy, before the highelt tribunal in the country. As to the Attorney General, without attaching any blame, or throwing any reflation upon his condua, he mutt be , naturally anxious to rave a Member of an Admi-, nitration of which he was himfelf a part. Upon there grounds, he molt vote for at impeachment. The ATTORNEY GENERAL vindicated him felt from the charge of making any improper appeal to the Houle for initruaions on a bufinefs in which the feelings and inter efts o: the Public, as well as the Noble Lord, were fo intimately involved. He had never entertained any doubt of the legal guilt of Lord Melville, fo far as the connivance 'extended ; but without information from the Houfe, lie did not feel himfelf fufficiently infiroaed to know to what extent the profecution on this head was to be carried. Much had been raid of the participation of Lord Melville in the profits derived by Trotter from the mifapplication of the public money ; but without inflruaion from the Houfe he did not fee that he could fully enter into any profecution into the whole of this part of the fubjea. What he withed to al certain was not how he fhould proceed in condtiaing the profecution, but what were the points to which the profecution was to be directed. He felt that the bufinefs involved a variety of difficulties, and he was anxious that by the affiflance of the Hindi they fbculd be removed. It was a matter of great con fequence previoufly to the bringing of the action to fix the venue with accuracy; and he was afraid that even on that ground the objea of the profecution might have been defeated. Other difficulties mull have occurred to any one whole legal knowledge enabled them fully to underfland the fubjea; and therefore he was decidedly in favour of the mode of proceeding by impeachment- In this way the ends of public junice would be fully accomplifhed, while the individual concerned would be enabled fairly to meet his defence. He denied that due notice of the Motion had not been given to the Houfe. Though it was only Taft night that his Honourable and Learned Friend had Ipedficallv announced the Mo tion, it was perfealy well otiderliood on a night when the Houk was very full, that the fubjea would on an early day be brought under confidetation. Mr. FOX fpoke againft the Motion. He denied that any due parliamentary notice had been given on the fubjea, and maintained that if the Houle were thus to be taken by lurpaize, there would be an end of all the dignity, the Ileainers, or the honour of the proceeding: of the Houle. No decifion could be fate—no difapprobation of the condua of a Minifter could be recorded with advantage. All that a Mi nifter had to do was, only to wait till Members ex. peeing all important bonnets to be pall, went to the country, and then undo ail that the labours and at tention of the Seffion had accomplithed. In this cafe, after a folemn decifion of the Houle, a whole week elapfes, and after this interval, employed in ferious meditation, it is determined that :on a notice ot hours the HoOfe (hall be taken by flirptize, and this decifion !hall be let. afide. It was raid, however, that the notice was fair, and that theturnbzr of Members Fnefent when the b.:liners was brought forward was confiderable. To this the aufwer was ealy, and at the fame time condoner. It was undeniable that there wete not now, by mo::: than a hundred Mem bers, fuch an attendance as at the time the decifion paired, which it was now propcled to refeind.—To attempt fuels a thing as this was to infult the general fink of that Houfe and the country, and was literally proclaiming, that Lheir declared wifhesand views fhould be countsraaed by a Minifler whenever it fuited his purpoles: On the.fame principles, whatever was mull (acted in public or private privileges might be rucceir fully invaded. A regular formal notice previous to the istroduaion of loch a notice,was not only what jollice, but what decency demanded. He preferred Impeach ment,but he did not with the Refolution of Parliament to be let afide on light or frivolous grounds. He was ready to admit, that even the made of proceeding by impeachment was not withour its cbjation, and he mentioned as one of thole, that of the Perrwwho might be called on to try Lord Melville, there were no leis than feventy cr eighty who owed their eleva tion to the joint influence of the Right Hon. Gentle man oppofite, and the Noble Lord, on whofe condo& they were judicially to decide. The Houfe r ltowever, had molt gravely determined to proceed by criminal profecution, and to that he now wifhed to adhere, even though it was hinted, that hisHonourable Friend near him, (Mr. Whitbread) (Wald he cottoned with the principal man..gement of the impeachment. The i RCP. Member obterved tarthet that, when he rceoll.l lellea hold they had foughrinch by inch aga!nft al proceedings whatever—who he confide; cd how the meafure of this very evening aught, in all prohability, be conneaed with further isroceedings that would g) entirely to defeat the cods of punithinent, he could not look on thole Gentlemen as the beft friends to co-operate with them in a profecution of aliy de fceiption. Thercould entertain no rational hope of co-operation or union from thole who had repeatedly declared themfelvesenetnies to every mode of pro'e cution. Confidering the oppofition they had hitherto (hewn to the whole hnfiuefs, it was not to be wonder.' ed at if he Ihould feel jealous of the fincerity of their prefent profetfions. But whether their objeft might be to gain by that means a victory over their political opponents, or more effeitually to defend Lord Mel ville, he found it his duty to oppofe it, as he was neither a friend to the one ncr the other. The Hon. Gentleman then adverted to the manner in which the refolution propofed to be refcinded had paired. It had paffed in toe fullelt Houle that ever he bad the honour to fit in. How then could they propore to refcind it in fo thin a Houfe as the prefent, however relpeftable it might be, were no fuch comparifon in queßion? Should fuch a barefaced propofition be car ried, it molt be impolfible there thould be any fuch thing as Blame in the Houfe. Should it really be the Intention of the Houle to entertain the queition, they mutt poßpone it not till Monday only, but for three weeks, and make a particular call of the i-loufe en the occafion, on account of an unfortunate miltake that his Majetly's Minifters made refpeding their !aft vote on this fubjeft. Many Members who were now not in town, might by this means be afrembled, and affiß them to Teddy their miltake. In adverting to fome of the arriments offered by the Attorney Ge. neral, he inCfted that it was not the right of Peers to be tried by their Peers; but in cafes of High Treafon or felony. NI, loch potation was found en the laws of this country. It was the butiners of the Attorney- General, he contended, to look at the whole, cafe, and to do his belt for the public, as he would for any other client. He was no lawyer himfelf, and might not therefore be qualified, nor was the Houfe fop pored to be qualified, to give him their advice. On the contrary, they applied to him as a profelfional man, and he was lure there was not a lawyer in Well. mintier Hall, who could not; if afked, take up the caufe. If thole Gentlemen were fo anxious for an impeachment, why did they not vote for it before ? or did they think they bad voted for the queltion when, by miltake, they had been voting againft it, and had therefore come to have thit vote refcinded ? Whether their miltake was real or detigned, was not this giving a charatter of uncertainty to the proceed. ings of the Houle of Commons, totally° incontinent with its dignity ? They ought betides to regard, with great caution, thofe whom they had fo much rea son to raped of being enemies to the meafure alto gether. Mr. 'Fox concluded by moving the orders of the day to be read. Mr. HILEY ADDING"PON rote after Mr. Fox, and raid that he thould plata the indulgence of the Houfe but for a short time, having no inclination to protraft the debate at that late hour. He could not, however, feel fatisfied with giving a ,filent vote, and hoped that Gentlemen would perceive that; after having expreffed a decided opinion on this fubjed on a former occafion, he muft naturally be anxious to preclude the potfibility of a furpicion that ahy alteration whatever had taken place in it on reflealiin, or that he was difp"fed to Bantle from that line which, as a Member cf Parliament, his duty im pofed on him on this import et °teal - ion. He Ihould not detain the Houfe by refeating the grounds on which he had borate Rated his preference to the mode of proceeding 'by information ; but there - was one point to which he could not help advetting,and which had been touched upon in a way that h e w as fa ll to hear by a Right Honourable Friend of his c Mr. Pitt), namely, the greater lenity of this proceeding. He Rill thought, as he had belie expreffed, that this was the milder and more temperate of the two ; and was fore that, in one point of view at leaft, impeachment could not be argued to be the mint lenient, the protrzftion of which might be at tended with fetch intolerable expence to the indivi dual, as experience had proved, and out of which ti,e Noble Lord might come acquitted and ruined. He thnuld not be doubted whet. he declared, that no man in or out of the Houfe would more deeply grieve at teeing that Noble Lord in the latter predicament, as no one would more heartily rejoice at finding him in the former. He agreed however with a propoll• tion made by a Noble I. d H: Petty) eatly in the debate, that this was not the proper time for difeidling the met its or demerits of the different modes of proceeding that had been recommended. The notation was pait—An ample opportunity had been given on the t ith and lath of June for the dilcuffion; and it had been abundantly taken advan tage of. The quellion now was limply, whether a B!itith Houfe of Commons thould ail up to its own folemn difculUon, or thould incur the charge of in confittency and contradietion. What was there to warrant the meaftute propofed ?—A worthy Baronet, who had feconded the motion, had laid great firers on the precedent eflabliflied, by reftinding the refo lution for the civil procefs? Had he forgot the grounds on which that Ilep was taken ? It was not only becau fe ne w mat ter, and that of a molt aggravating and criminal nature, had rubfequently come out, Inv becaufe a part of that matter had precluded the pot tibility of that proceeding producing any refult.— , Was this then at all a cafe in point ? What new mat ter have we now to warrant the alteration propofed ? What parliamentary grounds whatever had been Rated, what faits, what documents had been pro duced, as affording a p • tence for it ?—His Learned Friend had relied much on the circumtlance of a tingle precedent ; but it would be reconciled that neither he nor any one on his fide the Houfe, had at all re lied on-precedents, had not even mentioned them, buthzd merely contended that the choice of the :node was-a cluellina of expediency. He defied any Lawyer in the Houle to prove that the proceeding by infor mation was not leriely contlitutional. One word as td the notice given by his Learned Friend who brought forward the queition, and whom no one who knew -him could fume& of meaning deliberate ly to aft incorreilly on any potfible occafion :—lt was defirable that both quellions Ihould be dircur fed on the lame.day.' , The Chancellor cif :he Exche. quer had undoubtedly given a tiring intimation of as intention to revive the proceeding on Thinfday , laft., but it was; nothing more; on that day his Right Hoc Friend behind him had Led nn this day for h.. mo tiqa—why might not the Learned Gentlema:: have ptiven his notice on the fame day, or a t any rate on the Friday ? He could not help fte.rc ex. pretling his furprife at an aiiertion made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that no notice (4 Mr. Bond's amendment had been previoufly given to ?Jay individual ; if on recolietlion this was maintain. ed, he Mould only fay, that he underftood it w as otherwife. He timid only add, that it was his mot; anxious hope, that on this molt important Winds, the Houfe would well confider what was due to its dignity, to its conQaency, would relied on the po i . bie confequences of ellabliflaing fo dangerous a pre. cidene; and would, under theft impreffions, reject the Motion now nn the table. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQJJER in explanation Paid, that he only meant; that rio public notice of the intended amendment had been given, and none dived to Lord Melville. Mr. DIJNDAS SAUNDERS thought the mod e of impeachment the molt preferable, whether the pee. fon to be tried, or the ends of juftice to be anfwered, were confidered ; and this was the mode to which the Noble Lord himfelf gave the decided preference. Lord Melville had fpoken againft both modes of proceed. ing, and he could eafily account for it. If an ins. peachment Mould have been agreed on, he coincided with the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. H. Addington), that even if the Noble Lord &mild he found innocent, the expence would be ruinoui.— Notveithltanding what had been' affirmed to site contrary, he pofitivdy declared that Lord Mel. vine was totally unacquainted with the mode of proceeding intended to he adopted (he alluded to the amendment). till within one hour before he entered the Houfe. It would have been an alt of courtefy. if not of juflice, particularly with parties with whom the Noble Lord had a4lecl, to have given him fome notice on the fubjcit. He did not think it an r.ft of lenity to proceed again( Lord Melville, or any body elk, in the manner which had been adopt. ed. He left it to the convietion of thofe who voted for the criminall profecution to confider whether they thought it the moll lenient 'way or not. Mr. KERR raid, that as 239 could not be made out to be more than 231, he lhould, for the fake of confiflency, vote for the criminal prnfecution. The. queftion being fondly called for, the Houfe divided—Fur the Order of the Day, 543—Againft it, 10—Majority, 23. While the Chancelltr r• the Exchequer and his friends were out in the lobby on the divillon, be gave them notice that probably aftett the dafpofel of that; there might be a diviEnn on the main 1 quellem.—All his friends then returned with hint into the When the Gallery was re-opened, Mr. rot w,rr :mind fpelking„ He Rated that the queftion then before the Houk, was of fu:h au ~ prosot nature as to require the fulleft attendar cc poilible. He therefore thought it his duty to move, that the queftion be ad jourued for a fortnight, in order to give time fora call of the Houfe. The Gallery was again cleared ; but we underftand that the Motion wis loft without a diviLon. The queltion for an Impeaehment at the Bar cf the Mode or 4.ords was tbeo put and carried'without a dividon.' After which,it was ordered, that Mr. Whitbread ibould go op to the Lords, and acquaint them with the determination of dais Houfe. The other Orders were then difpofed of, and the Hoofs adjoirnad at a quarter part tiro. LONDON.
