tained as to the merits of the Officers, and they were 'banked accordingly. Upon that occasion the Minister bad set his seal upop the transaction. When the news arrived, the Pask and tower guns were fired, Lord, Gambier, wee liortly afterwards made a Peer, and the' Address subsequently voted' contained words,.of_ 'ltigh., congratulation.'•Again, deprecating the introduction of party feelittg,he must observe,that in these respects Adm. Codringtein had not been'so fortunate ; and he therefore thought that it became an independent Member of that House to propose that his gallant services should receive the expression of the national gratitude. It would be re membered that the Foreign Minister at the time w hen LotaKiainbier was rewarded for his exertions, was the then. put it out of his power to rewar d those who had carried his high intentions into effect—(Hear). , But what might or would have been t he fate of those officers, of Lord Gambier,and of Sir A rthur Wellesley, if the Minis-, ter who had dispatched them had nut held his station till they had accomplished his mission P Why, instead, of receiving the thanks of that House, they might have met with its censure. He wa s ' su re that there was nobody who heard him but must be convinced that such might have been the case, and therefore he would offer' it to the consideration of the • House as another proof, that the proposing of votes of thanks should not always be left to ;hose who filled the offices of power and of influence ;Tor if such were to be the case, the reputation and services of our best defenders must be come not merely the plaything of the Ministers, but ttfe victim of political squabbles. He was afraid that if such a trust had been implicitly reposed in the Ministry, in the present instance, he could not feel quite secuie that the Gallant Admiral who had commanded at Nava rin wquld.not have met with reproof instead of reWard,. and instead cf being highly distinguished by his Sove reign, he would have met with punishment—(Hear). Had Mr. Canning, who Of - tatted, as he always under stood, the Copenhagen Expedition, been still alive, and' still at the head of the councils of his Sovereign, he could not but believe that the results of the battle of Navarin, as to the conduct of Government, would have been.eztretnely .different in their effect. He did not presume to know what Mr. Cannings feelings or opinions were upon she Subject—he bad never been in a room with that ttight Hon. Gentleman—but judging from what he had seen of his conduct in a ca,e of a hundred times the complexity, danger, and diffi culty-.-ludging from the steady and unflinching firm ness with which he had supported those who executed , his mission at Copenhagen, be could not imagine, for a single instant that those who had served their country and humanity so gloriously as Sir Edward Codrington aria) his associates had dune at Navarin, would not likewise have met with his approval and his advocacy. Yes, andhe Was confisnied in his belief by' the remembrance, that even after the sun cf that Right Honourable !Gentleman had set, and as long as any faint rays of his feelings and his policy still fingered upon the horizon, and influenced the conduct of Minis ters, something was done to reward the Gallant Admiral who .bad achieved one of the brightest tribthphs which adorned the history sal our country. fie would heg leave to call the attention of the Huse to what vies done, ter what notice - was taken of the action, whew the intelligence of its occurrence was first an . flounced— In the Goietfe of the 10th of November the public were made, acquainted with the ttiumpli which the Combined fleets bad achieved, and in that very same Gazette. the 'dispatches of Sir Edward Cod rington were given entire, without the slightest curtail; meat or alteration. That was a very high and not at all usual distinction,' and which he was correct in making the Statement be had no doubt, for he seceived his in formation from a Gentleman in whore accoracy abaci every reason to confi !e. Ii the Gazette of the 10th 61 Nov. tuber then, a verbatim copy of the Admiral's dis patch was pablished,.and that act was in itself ass ample proof that he had not only executed his instruc tions taithfully, but that his *conduct had been in strict unison with the Wishes of those who empowered him. and that this account of his proceedings was to them folly satisfactory..Butthat was not all. What appeared, in the. Gazette of dm IS* of-Nlvernber ? Why, in the Gazette, at that day this official notice was published : .4, Tbralrein' x has been please d to nominate and appoint Vice Ad s tisiratSir FAlWard Codrington, Knight Commandeer. of the Most.

Codringtoo r s ante to the marked approbation of that Hopse, bisidesthe testimony of their Gracious Sovereign and that of' the late Ministes, he had also the testimony. of the Minicar, noW in office.— It was a very well known tact that a Gallant Admiral had been sent out to the Mediterranean for the purpose of in vestigating Sir E. Codrington's conduct —for tbepur pose of learning whether there was any truth whatever in the assertions, or as they turned out to be, the forgeries, of the Austrian 06sircer, and what, he would ask, was the result of the inquiry? ll* had taken occasion a few even ings since to ask the Noble Viscount, the Secretary at War, whether it was the intention of his Majesty's Go vernment to give publicity to Sir John Gores report ; and in the reply of that Noble Lord, even in that, he found sufficient ground to justify the Resolutions with which be intended to conclude. That Noble Lord said, that there was no intention to publish the report ; for as no charge had been brought forward against the Gallant Admiral, Sir Edward Codrington, he could stand in no need of exculpation. Now the conclusion to which he (Mr. Hobhouse) came upon teceiving that answer, and indeed the only conclusion be could arrive at was, that the report made by Sir John Go.e was a total and perfect exculpation of Sir E. Cods ington. But besides that he had a still further reason for concluding that the conduct of the Gallant Admiral had met With the approval of his Majesty's pie•ent Ministers. It was this—he was _still continued in his command. Sir Edward Codrington was still OUT Naval Commander in Chief in• the Mediterranean,' and, he should like to know whether his Majessea ;Ministers would retain an Officer in that. high. responsible, and at the piesent_ time, most delicate station, if they supposed that he had been guilty of the slightest indiscretion, or swerved' one iota from his instructions—(Year, hear). The Right., Honourable Gentleman the Secretary, for the Colonies' was a party to the instructions, and he must be .perfectly well aware that if they had not been fulfilled, it would; be impossible for hiniself r and for those Right' Hon. lad Hon.Gentlenten around him to maintain their si- Mations, if they permitted Sir E. Codrington to con • tipue to held the higb and impoiunt post he did,if he had not done his duty. It he (Mr. Hobbouse) could sup pose that the Gallant ' Admiral were censurable, he would be among the'firet to vote for his recall. But he bad still other proofs in steppe:at .of his conviction that Sir E. Codrington had nobly done his duty. And on a•, great occasion lite that, ptihaps he might be allowed; • without being -cnoiideted -tO•depatt from the rules of al . ! House and pepper rielecaty, - toaliude particularly to the language which some of 'hit. Majesty's Ministers, had-used in another place, He might be allowed to mention the nanaes-of those Ministers, especially as heel shoula . citiote theft sentiments and their flames only in support of the reputation of a Gallant Officer whom the; contintsed - to employ in ,'a • highly important com mand. The Prime Minister, the Duke of Weilingtou, had, said," A Noble Lord had saidolid they mean to make any charge against the Admiral? He answered, certainly not. He meant to make none; heb ad no right to make a charge . , • againstahe AdMiral., Thete was no right in any one to charge the Admiral with any censure for his conduct; he did his duty so his Sovereign and his country." And his Grace bad then said, that the gallant Admiral being continued in his command was a clear proof that his con duct had been correct, -and that he stood in no need of exculpatioh; but besides that„ the Doke of Willitigtrin Isid.further said that which .would. in itself bit sufficient for him (Mr. Hobhouse). to footed his vote open. The: passage he alluded to *as this—" Theta:tot Admiral was placed in a situation of no ordinary delicacy, and had so conducted himself ai to acquire the confidence of all. He (the Duke of Wellington) would be unfit for the situation which his Sovereign had been graciously pleased to place hint in, if he insinuated the slightest degraie:stif,..ceniatre against the gallant ' Admiral."-io, Aker having said so much, he was alinost ashamed of producing any further testimOny, in favour of the conduct of the gallant Admiral.

If blame attached to any quarte‘it was to that from whence the instruc tions to him rct e : issued.' Honour and praise were due to Admiral Codiington, andif blame were to fall any . where, it must be on those who sent . him his instructions He (Lord Lansdows) by no Means con• sidered that the introduction of - the word " untoward' was meant to convey any disapprobation on the con duct of the Gallant Commander at &night, wbo had exercised a fantod discretion in very critical circum-, stances, and who was entitled to the warm approbation of the Government and the country." No eulogy could be more ample, no praise could ,-beano, e disinterested. It proceeded from a Minister who Wes a 'party to the instructions, who was responsible for their consequences, arid after that was it to be supposed, was it to be Ima gined, thet any would be found ready to carp at the 'reputation and the services of the gallant A cimiral-? Why, if those who drew up the instructions spoke thus 'of the 'service;, of Sir-E. Codrington, 'and those who Could produce the instructions, but who joined also in the.praise, what mannernf ground could there be for the Howe denying itself the gratification of doing that justicewhich, both upon precedent and strand reasoning. he m4the, so fairly demand ?—(Hear.) Bur, to proceed to stillituther, and, if possible,. even more conclusive testimony. What said Earl Dudley, who had fortu nately, Or otherwise, heart' member of both Ministries? ,Whi s ahnOtahle Lord said, " The production of papers was incasing. for the vindication of the.gallairt Officer, ..kdmiral- Codringtotr.

Such was the testimony Of the Secretary of Sate fOrforeign , Affairs—the tessituony, of a Nobleman who, from the situation be 41led,otust be conil l )tipii mil* Oncoliatly fitted to edge as to the:manumit' which the Gallant Admiral had discharged his duties. But, there was yet another piece of testimony to'Which he must advert —k., vij i ii t h e testiostir . te or. the,Nuble-Loid vsbo *as lately at the heaCofJusaalajestes CouncilS .Lnedsgoderieb i had said, 'ilk ailse begged levet* center- in mrhik hadjaWtedier his gable - -Mend (the Onki Of We(' lington) al to the merits of the distinguished lafficer; who commas sled at Navarin, for he (Lbrd -believed hitn . so have acted as discreetly 'as any man could, connering the crielmleiroun4tinces in Willett he was 'placed. He hat, Will Ve s old!„ - hehaved s like man; turd neither tarnished hie Oarro tense, An . jollied the honenateof his country : '' NoSr offer. all those high and just tributes to the merits °rale - gallant Admiral, he begged leave to 'ask his Hon. Friends, and those Hen. Gentlemen who sat on the-other side of the House —for, he repeated, that he bad hitherto sought for no support—he bad not asked a single Member his senti ments upon the subject, and he only then put the gime lion to the House as composed of English Gentlemen, and the Rept esentatives of a free nation—could they, after such testimony, hesitate a. single instant as to the pro-, prietyof rewarding thegallantAdmiral with their ttanks? . And in confirmation of his view he said, that if there had been any tiring wrong in the conduct of the gallant Admiral—if he had committed the slightest etror—il he had over stepped through ambition, or if he had swerved through ignorance from his instructions, it was scarcely possible to suppose that his error would not have been. detected and exposed. No public man had ever been more exposed to detection, if thatrewere any impropriety to detect, than Admiral Codrington had been. But he would beg the House to- remember what hal b en the result, what impression I:o4been produced by every document which had appeared.upon the subject? in all the-ears us statements which had reached this country, and had received .pnblicity throttle the medium of the public press, had any one sentence appeared calculated. in the slightest to inspugnateeeeme duct of Sir E.Codrington ? Hat any thing been publiehed or heard of which charged the Gallant Admiral. with. rashness ? or wet) a departure from a, discreet course, merely from ambitious motives? or with a useless orl thoughtless sacrifice of human life for the enhancement of his own fame ?—(hear, hear.) No, notose thought of the kind had yet been whispered. Far from it,. his con duct had been glorious ferhis country in evety.respect, , and it was one of the greatest features of t,bat splendid action, that so impressed were the Commanders of the. Foreign Fleets of the skill and prudence of Admiral Codrington, that they unliesitutingly waived whatever privileges they might have been eutitled to, and Placest themselves under his command. The union..between the, three fleets waenot merely nominal ;.it.was sincere and, although he (Mr. Hobliouset could ,not speak particue. larly as tothessages on such occasions, ,it was a well known fact, tbetiiisteadof thinking of particular rights, the French .and ituesiau Admirals, at once gave the, superiority to. Aslatiiil.Codtington, and were happy. to serve 'under his baling, for it led to victory—(Hear). He ha,d beets easefully loeking into suelvdoeutnents as had been published by die public press, and be did not fiiid a single difference of opinion as to the merits of Sir Edward Codtington, and he could not-avoid saying. Upon that occasi. n, that he did think it would havebeen both beneficial in Feint of policy, and gratifiing to the best feelings, if hits Majesty's Speech on the opening-of. Parliament had not been altogether silent. ps ; to the merits •of the Gallant Admiral—(Heat), .tite thiok that such .an. act would have been only- an iedule gence of an honest and noble ptide,for the cause in which we.bad fought and gloriously triumphed, was not es-, paused for our.own particular interest, hut for suffering humanity, and the victory we had gained had been achieved without delivering any portion of civilized Eu-. rope up to warm' desolation. But, hoe ever, for reasons et which he would not presume to guess, even the name of the Gallant Admiral had not appeared in his Majedy's Speech. Such a course, however, had not been obsereed on previous occasions, for after tthe battle of Algiers the Ministes of the day advised the introduction of the. name of Lord Esmouth, and that he. (Mr. HebbOuse), maintained was n‘t only.: substantial precedent, but, one of the strong features of the case which rendered iv necessary for every independent Member of the H. of Commons to stamp Sir E. Codrington's conduct-with his approbation--(Hear). He then came to what be considered rather a fortunate and peculiar testimony. Itswes, as he had already remarked, one of the most grotifying proofs of thsegreat merits of the British Ad miral, that the Commanders of the foreign fleets had in. reality and with earnestness united with -him. Now, h did not exactly know whether it was customary fot gmperors and Kings to write to individuals of a foreign nation, but he did know, in common with all the world, that the Emperor of Russia did not think he derogated from his high station in writing himself a letter to Sir, 'Edward Codrington, expressive of his Imperial Ma jesty's admiration at the bravery - and judiciousness of the gallant Admiral's conduct. The letter, which was wtitten a few days after the Emperor received an ac count of the battle, is as follows: St. Peter sburgh,:Nov. 8, 1827. Saa—lfou have 'just obtained a vie.torr for which civilized' Europe ought to be doubly grateful to you. The. memorahledunk of Navarin, and the bold manoeuvres s hy xbkh it was preceded, not only exhibit to the World the degree of , zeal of three great Powers for a cause, the noble character of whiCia is still further ex sited by their disinterestedness, but 'also furnish ample prOdf of ' what can be accomplished by firmness against number—and valour, skilfully directed, against blind courage, with whatever forces it may he supported. Your fame henceforth belongs to • itrittirity ; no eulogium on my part can add to the glory with which' it 'fs nal . : rounded. I deem it incumbtrar on me, huwesiet, to present to you a distinguished mark of the.gt atittarle anti,. esteem with which you have inspired all Russia. • It is with this view that I transmit you, enclosed, the Military Order of 'St. George. The Russian Nayy feels itself honoured by having obtained yourappiobation before Navarro; and, with regard to myself, I experience the most lively satisfaction in assuring you of the sentiments' of consideraticm I. entertain fur you. (Signed) .NICHOLAS. To Vice- Admiral Codrington. Besides that letter, which was in- itself-a-.eplendid me., morial of the Emperor's .opinion of the merits of-the. British Admiral, the Emperor had written another-let-- ter, which was sent to his Commander in the Mediter ranean,: and expressed his high approbation of the manner in which that Officer had behaved, especially in acting so completely in unison with Sir Edward Codringtoa. And thete was also another letter written by the same august Personage, which was penned with a view of karning whether he could be of any service to Sir Edward Cochington's son, who had been wounded irrthe action? But, without troubling the House any fur. ther respecting those -documents, he would venture to say, in -the confidence that he was correct, that no better judge of the merits of Sir-Edward Codring ton's conduct could be found than the Emperor of Russia and' his advisers. They were .particularly well informed upon the subject, for it had received their roost earnest inquiry and attention.• And what, too, had been -the conduct of the King- of France?— Why, he had lost no time whatever in transmitting an honour-to the Gallant Admiral; but-his Majesty of France had even gone further, and had done that which he (Mr. Hobhouse) believed was not at all common, namely, he had bestowed an honour upon the person who brought to the French Court the thanks of the British Admiral. He mentioned those circumstances to chew that if the House did net that night give its thanks to Sir E. •Codrington, this country would alone cf all civilized Europe be- backward in acknowledging his merits. If- that -House withheld its approbation, it ';\ witeld-ierp emeralii be conclhded abroad. -that Eng- Wind .kiew mote tespecting the battle of Navarin than had yet been disclosed, and that the Representatives of the British people had some very good and suf f icient rea son for withholding from their gallant country man that totdial approval-i-whicir its own Sovereign and Foreig n Potentates had hastened ,to shorter on him—(Cheers), He did not ibiolc .it- necessary for him to enter into ..wa% P ware that. o n. pfeeioln iicetatntrit hieberen'sisnatfor the 'Mover of a Vote of Thanks to give some account of the knees and t h e -intrumeets - birttbri-Jovse was- already so familiar with all the cireu instances of the action at Navarin, that it would be only necessary for him to give a very slight sketch of sbe.whole. transaction. When Admiral Coe. rington first went up the Levant, he made an Armistic e with Ibrahim Pacha,theTan kith Commander, resrecing Greece, and havittg dire so, he supposed the Armistice' would be kept without his blockading the Turkish fleet. He, however,was deceived. Ibrahim Pacha had different notions respt cting theobligatiols of an Armistice, •n finding that his fleet was not blockaded, he forthwith , made an attempt upon aGreek fortress. SirE.Crdlingtorp at that time, had only his own flig-ship and a frigate ready for service, and at his immediate disposal, bet Ise at once, and a MotedikiSive, noble, and judicious al .was never performed, Placed' his own ship and thesfri. ate between the fortress of Patras and the Turkish or Egyptian fleet, and thereby enforced the terms of the Armistice. Finding the Tusks thus.anmindful of their engagements, he immediately dispatched. an * order to Malta, in order that the ships there might be forthwith 4:yepared for sea. That order was most promptly obeyed, and in sit dayi Sir. E. Codrington had assent. bed his whole Squadron.. The breach of faith in the Turks was thus the cause of the contest, for the Ad. miral foond that nothing shott of bloc,kadinn Would ensure an observance of the Armistice, and to submit to blockading Ibrahim Pacha had no desire. The Turkish fleet consisted if eighty one 'vessels of war and forty transports,' while the combined 'fleets, consisted of twenty-six vessels of - ware The Turkish vessels mounted 2,210 guni, and t';e combined fleets 1;324 guns.- This calculation does•noVof &tune, cciattprise the guns oa the batteries, and it is'well knoa n to those who have been at Navarin, that the batteries are strong and effee , tive, especially those at New NAV arin.

Codrington himself was the only person who was not swept away. He might'also, perhaps, be allowed to mention an anecdote which would very happily-and forcibly illustrate:Lod strengthen the assertion he hal made, that the union between the three Powers . - was complete. The Talbot, an English frigate, was cloSely engaged with two? heavy Turkish vessels, and her situa• tion being perceived by the Armiee, a_French frigate, her gallant Captain immediately bore up to the relief of the Talbot. the Frenchman placed himself . be:veea ,One of the Tutki and the Englishritan, and soon com r pelted the Turk to.strike histolours.

He contended then, that considering the relative forces of the opposed fleets, a more decisive action had never been fought, and that there never awns' one upon the merits - nf "hich there hadheen less di fferetice of opinion.

Halle should tamp that the greatness of the struggle and the teistatcze 'offered were not the criterions by-which that lieti,e usually judged in such affairs.
