WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, iBos. PARLIAMEATAar PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, TUESDAY, JUNE 23% Counfel being finally heard in fupport of Gardner's Divorce Bill, it was read a fecond time, and ordered to be committed. The LORD CHIEF BARON of the EXCHEQUER delivered the opinion of the Judges in the cafe of Thelluffon O. Woodford. It was decidedly, on every one of the poinm referred to them, in fupport of the decifion in Chancery; which, after force otlicrva dons by the Lord Chancellor, was affirmed by their Lordships. The Haute then refolved itfelf into a Committee of Privileges, during the fitting of which ftrangers were excluded. Immediately after our re-admiffion, Lord HOLLAND fald, he wilted to know what was the nature of the orders which bad been fent by Government to the Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica, re lative to the trade between that Bland and the United States; and whether any orders had been fent out fume the atft of May for difeontlnuing the reftriffiion on the importation of goods In Ame rican bottoms? Lord CAMDEN Paid that the Lieutenant Governor had not re ceived any orders to prevent the fufperdion of tilt law, in cafes of neceifity, againft the importation of goods from Ame rica. Lord HOLLAND then alined, whether the Houle was to tin derftand that no orders had been rent to enforce the reftridion on the trade between the United States and the Weft lodia !lords ? The Duke of MONTROSE obferved, that the Rate of the law on the fubjed in queltion was this :—According to the Navigation Aa, there could be no communication between the United States and the Brit& Weft India Viands, except in Brltilhbetteens. But a power wall given to the Governor of every Bland to allow the impartation of provilions and other articles in cafes of neceffity.— It having appeared, however, that loon irregularities had arifen in the exercife of this power, and that a too general importation had been permitted, diredions were fent out to the Governors not to , make too frequent ufe of the difcretion which they poll - tired. There was no ground for fuppofing they were prohibited from fufpending the reftridlon; they were only required not to give way to too great a facility of importation. Lord HOLLAND Paid, that the Noble Duke teemed difpofed to volunteer a reply, which it belonget: to the Noble Earl (Cam den) to give, but which at the fame time, was far from being fa tisfactory. Indeed all he had heard convin ced him that the reftric tion had been improperly enforced; and he conceived it to be his duty to move for loch papers as might tend to elucidate the fubjcdt. He therefor: gave notice, that he Ihould move for copies of all Pe titions from the Weft India Blanch, and all Correfpondence be tween the Governors of the Mends and his Majefty's refpeding the trade with America, from the commencement of . the prefent war with France to the atft of May laft. The Duke of MONTROSE obfervcd, that if he bad volunteer. ed an aofwer, it was given on good authority ; but he left it to the Houfe to judge whether his interference or that of the Noble Lord in this bufinefs had molt the appearance of volunteering. The Marquis of BUCKINGHAM laid, that the I.ieutenant Governor of the Ifland of Jamaica had underftood his hands to be tied up by the orders trarlmitted to him from Government. Lord HAWKESIIURY and Lord CAMDEN applauded the conduct of the Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica ; and there the converfation terminated. The Duke of CUMBERLAND prefented a Petition from Mr. Juftice Johrfon, letting forth the eircumftances under wlich he has been brought over from Ireland to be tried in Wei:mix:flu hall ; and requelting to be heard by Connie' againft the Bill now pending in their i.ordlhips' Houfe, for amending the Offender's Efcapt. Ad; inafmuch as certain provirtoirs of the laid Bill would operate 4 . )C po, fah, with refped to his cafe.—The Petition was ordered to lie on the table. Lord HAWKESBUttY brought in a Bill for continuing to the next Sellion of Parliament, the proceedings already bad in the cafe of Mr. Juftice Fox. On his Lordfhip's motion, it was read a firft time, and ordered to be printed; after which he gave notice, that he maid move the fecond reading on Thurfday next, if the printed papers were then on the table. A Copy of the Report of the Stied Committee of the Houfe of Commons, on the Tenth Report of the Commiffioners of Naval Enquiry, was received from the Commons, and ordered to lie on the table. The Land Tax Redemption Aa's Confoltdation Bill was brought up from the Commons, and read a firll time. The Chancellor of the Exchequer's Indemnity Bill was read a fecund time, and the various other Bills before the Houfe were forwarded one ftage,—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. WELLESLEY POLE brought up an account of the Num ber of Recruits that had joined the Royal Artillery and Corps of Mincer% purfuant to order of the Houfe. _ _ - . A Meffage from the Lords acquainted the Houfe, that it was their Lordibipte defire to have a Copy of the Report of the Seledt Committee, to whom the confederation of the Tenth Report of the Commiffioners pf Naval Enquiry was committed. The Meffengers bang called in, the Speaker acquainted them that the Houfe would fend an anfwer to their Lorain ps' Meffage by Meffengers of its own. The Houfe went into a Committee on Welton's Divorce BiU, when Comael was heard in favour of the Bill. The Houfe then proceeded to ballot for a Secret Committee to confider of fo much of the Eleventh Report as related to the dif pofal of the furn of zco,oooL The Members appointed to condudt the ferntiny, after retiring fame time, returned, and reported to the Houle that the ballot had fallen on the following Gentlemen, viz. _ _ _ Lord Celt Weigh, Hon. Richard Rider. Lord Glenbervie, Right Hon. George Canning, Right Hon. William Windham, and Hon. Thomas Grenville, William Beft, Efq. The Report on the Corn Bill was poßponed being received till Tburfday. Nir.WHITBREAD moved for an Account of the balance re maing in the hands of the Receiver-General of the Poft-011ice, from the sth January, 1793, to the 3th April hit, diftinguithing the different quarters in each year, together with the names of chore perfons in whore hands the ame has been depotited at the fame periods. Mr. WHITBREAD alto moved for a firnihr account rehtivc to the Stamp-Office. Mr HI JSK ISSON prefented fp/12e accounts relative to the Army. ' The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice of a motion for to-morrow, for the appointment of Conuniffioners to Audit the Public Accounts. The Exchequer Bills Bills, purfuant to the vote of Friday, were read a fir(l time, and ordered for a fecund reading tomorrow. Mr. WHITBREAD wifhed to know if, fine; the Commifflon which paired the Great Seal appointing Lord Barham to Ms but lituation, he had refired his office as one of the Royal Com• miffioncts for the Affair. of the Navy The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQIJER anrwered in the negative. Mr. STURGES BOURNE was ordered to carry up to the Lords la Copy of the Report of the *lca Committee appointed to eon. rider the Tenth Report. LORD ST. VINCENT. Admiral MARKHAM fakl, that, as he was not prefect when the accounts which he had moved for relative to the Navy were prefented to the Houk, he mould now move that they be printed. —Ordered. Admiral MARKHAM obrerved, that, as thefe papers could not be printed in fulkient time to &teas the motion of the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Jeffery) which flood for Tburfday, he hoped the Hon. Gentleman would poftpone it till a later day. Mr. JEFFERY witted as much as polEble to accommodate the Hon. Gentleman, but as a vent had patted force the papers were laid upon the table of the Houk, he felt himfelf juftified in not poltponinst his motion. Admiral MARKHAM was equally anxious w i th H o n. . . the H Gentleman to have the fabled vase before the public, but there hirer.. were highly important and neceffary to the difeuffion. A Noble Lord (Earl St. Vincent)" had been accot..-.1 as an enemy to 'gas country ; and he was himfelf implicated as one of the Lords of 'he Admiralty : it was therefore of great confequence that he liould have an opportunity of making a complete defence, and he !mind the ijououtabic Gentleman mold not think of priliwg Ids motion for that day, u othenvife he thould feel it his duty to tate the (cafe of the Houle. Mr. JEFFERY was going to reply, wren be was interrupted by the SPEAKER, who °braved, that r there was no motion L before the Houle, it was not regular to promote a difeufflon. The Hon. Member might either change his notice or not. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER hoped the Hon. Gentleman would not pre& his motion, as the papers were torpor. tent, and the Hon. Admiral wished to have them printed. Mr. JEFFERY pledged bimfelf that the papers did not contain a Engle point of information that affeetcd his motion; and was proceeding, when he was again interrupted by the SPEAKER, and the matter dropped ; fo that Mr. JEFFERY'. motion, as yet, ftands for Thutfday. STATIL Or THS ARMY. Colonel CRAU FU RD was in hopes his motion would have been difpnfed of before this, hut as the papers were not all printed, and the Secretary at War had withdrawn one paper prefented on Mon day, which was very erroneous, no lets than Ten Tboufand Men being omitted, he thought it would be expedient to put off his motion tin Friday, which, after lane converfation, was agreed to. MAICISIS WILLESLEY. Mr. PAUL faid, he had already given notice of his intention to bring forward a motion refpeEting the conduEt of the Marquis Wellefley. He felt that he was placed in an important fituation. He flood forth as the public accufer of a Nobleman, who polreffed_great influence, and had great connexions in that Houfe. He confidered himfelf as a new and a very young Member, but it was a matter of conic,. lation to him, that the cafe was a very plain and fimple one, and Rood in no need of ebullience to al= filt it. The Nabob of Oude was compelled by treaty to advance a yearly turn of 900,0001. but the Noble Lord who was the objea of accufation, had difpof felled him of his dominions, in defiance of treaty, and had railed from them a revenue of two millions.— The prefent cafe was more flagrant than that of Mr. Railings, who Rood impeached for divelling of his territories Cheit Syng, the Rajah of Benares.— The Nabob of Oude had been difpoffefred illegally ; and he charged upon Lord Wellefley, a violation of the law, and a breach of the Ad of Parliament They had been proceeding very properly againfl pub. lie offenders at home, and it was of infinite import ance that offences committed at the dillance of 13000 miles, fhould not go unpunifhcd. When he gave no tice of his motion, it was hi, intention to go into the fubjeft, but be now thought it unneceffary, confi d‘ • ig the advanced flate i.t the &lion, and the prefs of important matter before the Houfe, All he fhould therefore now do, would be to move for pa- pers, and leave Gentlemen to make up their minds before the next Sam of Parliament, when he thould certainly bring the fuhjea forward. He fhould alfo derive this advantage, that very Monty the Mar. quis Wellefley would be in England, and he would have an. opportunity of viewing his whole conduit in the bufinefs. After making a few.more obfervations the Hon. Member concluded by moving for feveral Papers. Lord CASTLEREAGH would not refift the motion for papers, but wilted Gentlemen to keep their minds perfectly open and free from prepolreffion. For himfelf, he by no means admitted the charges againfl the Noble Lord. He would kill make an obfervation upon one thing which had fallen from the Hon. Gentleman. He had made it the ground of a heavy charge againff the Noble Marquis that he had fent his brother, who was Private Secretary to the Government, into Oude, to conclude atreaty, and then gave him a eon:million, appointing him to fuperintend that Province. The fag was, he was placed at the head of a commiffion to govern the af fairs of that Province, and continued there feveuteen months, but received no profit or emolument—and fo far from it, his affairs were materially injured. It alfo appeared, that he executed his office much to the fatisfaaion of the Governor General, as well as to that of the Court of Direaors at home. Sir WILLIAM BURROUGHS did not think a motion foe papers fhould be accompanied with re fleetions upon the Noble Marquis, and confidered the appointment of his brother as perfectly legal. Mr. WINDHAM did not confider the produdion of papers a matter of indulgence, and thought the prefent an affair of great magnitude. Mr. PAUL laid, that the falary of the Hon. Henry Wellefley, as Private Secretary, was 6,5001. per an num, betides the expences of his table. Mr. WELLESLEY POLE afferted, in the moll pofitive terms, that Mr. Henry Wellefley had re ceived no emolument whatever, except from his lun ation as Secretary. The fact was, his expences were paid upon vouchers by the Government of Bengal— and he had not converted a Tingle firpence of profit to himfelf. Mr. FRANCIS anted if Government were yet in ' poffeffion of any difpatches relative to the war with Holkar ; or whether the Minifter of the Eaft India Affairs would be able to bring forward in his budget a ilatement up to March 1804 Lord CASTLEREAGH laid, that as a packet of difpatches from the Eaff had been captured by the French, he was not able to give the Hon. Member the information he required—probably the docu ments relative to the Rate of the Company's finances in the Earl were in the fame packet. As he had not feen any fuch llatements, he confequently could not bring the accounts in the budget up to that period. Mr. FRANCIS—Then Government is in poiref lion of no information but that which they have re ceived from the difpatches publifhed by the French ; —The Hon. Member was proceeding further, when he was informed by the SPEAKER that there was no queflion before the Honfe—he therefore fat down without any further obfervat'on. LORD MELVILLE Mr. BOND faid, the motion he had propofed to fubmit to the Houfe Rood next in rotation, and grew out of a proceeding which had already been adopted by the Houle. 'Since the matter Was fuggclied, an Honourable and Learned Friend of his had given notice of a motion, the objat of which was to While• tute the trial by impeachment, in the place of the mode by Criminal Information, againit Lord Mel ville ; it therefore feemed to him proper, that the laft in point of order thould have the priority in point of time, and with the concurrence of his Honourable jPRICE SIX. . . and Learned Friend, he would pollpone the former until the latter was determined. Ir. LEYCtSTER admitted the propriety of adopting the arrangement recommended by bit Right Hon. Friend, becaufe if he (Mr. Leyeetler) fhould fucceed, there would be no neceflity what ever for occupying the time of the Houfe with the difcullion, which was incidental alone to the Crites. nal information. Perhaps he fhould render his els fervations more intelligible, if he were permitted to introduce them by reading the terms of the motion; which the Houfe would be called upon to difpofe of; And they were there : That this Houfe do proceed by impeachment againfl Henry Lord Vifeount Mel ville, upon the feveral offences (bred in the Reports made by the Committees, and that the Attorney Ge neral be intruded to day all proceedings under the ordei of the 13th June, directed to him." He thought the lituation of the Noble Lord peculiarly oppreffive ; he had been removed from an exalted nation in the adminiftration of affairs ; he had been rejeited From the honourable dittinaion he enjoyed as a Pri►y Councillor of his Sovereign, and now -a criminal pro ceeding was to be inftituted againft him to infliet a fccond punifhment for the fame offence, contrary to the ellablifhed principles of juftice in this country. — If, however, this was his opinion, the Houfe had in dicated a contrary fentiment, and it was equally his duty and his pleafure to acquiefce its its decifions. In the motion he had to fubmi:, he did not mean to bring in queffirm, therefore, the fitnefs of a Cri minal proceeding ; he only wifhed to vary,the mode in which the proecutlon • -as to be conduCted. If the Houfe, after a full and fair examination, had de termined on the methrid.now direifted, he fhould not have prefumed again to invite its attention to the fubjea ; but the truth was, that the ineafure having been brought on in the shape of an amendment, d i e Houk was not fully apprized of the obje4 ; sms to which it was liable. He fhould firß aeKrt to the queftiOn as if it were re: nova; he thunid confider the difficulties that arofe from the Reps already taken in the affair. Thus, if it were now for the firft time to be examined, he fhould fat, that the mode by im peachment was preferable to that by criminal infor mation, becaufe it was more fitialy conformable to the eßablifhed ufage of Parliament ; becaufe it was more confident with the dignity of that Houle, and with the rank of the petfon charged with the of fences ; and Wily, becaufe it led to greater certain ty in the refult. Upon looking into former cafes, he found the ordinary way with rape& to Commoners, was by criminal information, under the direaion of his Majetty's Attorney General ; but, on the con trary, when a Peer of the realm was implicated, it was by impeachment. No indußry which he had employed, could difcover a tingle example of the former proceeding being applied - to a Peer, except in the cafe of Lord Halifax. By referring to the 14th volume of the Journals it would be found, that that Nobleman having been charged with the neglett of checking the Tellers vouchers, the Hoak resolved to addrefs her Majetly, that fhe would be pleafed to order her Attorney General to profecute that Nobleman. On the t Bth of November, page 428 of the fame volume. there appeared the following en try :—" In obedience to the orders of the Houfe, I certify, that the objeaion taken by the Defendant's Connie', is not tranfmitted in due form." The pro ceedings then were had, but there was not an in dance fupplied by the files of the Exchequer to.fup port them. Perhaps the connexion Lord Halifax had with that Court, might occafion a deviation from the uniform' pm/lice. Then abftraaing this infulated cafe, there was no precedent for inch a mode as was now dire led by the Houle ; and the true queltion was, if a bad example once given were to be followed, or if a long catalogue of precedents were to be refperded. What had been fo long re garded, efpecially in criminal cafes, it would be extremely dangerous to abandon. Although a Peer might be proceeded againft at common law in cer tain cafes, and tried and convieted by perfons not his Peers, yet it was more conformable to the fpirit of the Britifh Conflitution, that by his Peers alone his guilt or innocence fhould be ellablifhed. This then being the repeated, and, with one exception, the invaried ufage of Parliament, no alteration fhould be permitted, unlefs it were jußified by Come ftrong and peculiar circumßances. This was an affair c: great magnitude and importance, not only to the individual principally concerned, but to the public, who looked with unidual interell and with fingular curiofity to the proceedings. It was not furprifing that an enquiring fpirit was raifed—that an anxious feeling was excited—when the elevated rank of the party accufed : was contemplated—when diffinguilied abilities were confidered; and wl a the elfeutial fervices he h.ti rendered to the S.sue were recolleited. In this fituation, and poffeffing thofe eminent qualities, all would acknowledge that he was at lead entitled to every privilege incident to his perfonal rank in the State, on an occafion of this ferious nature. In the next place, he fhould contend that more fubdantial juffice was to be at tained by the form of profecntion he now recom mended—a matter of much more weight in the kale than any otlier corifirlaation whatever. He would admit that if he had i fait depending, in which his property, his reputation, his life, were de pendent on the refult, them was no Court to which he would more fatitlaftorily reign his fate than to that juiddietion exercifed by the Learned Judges of the King's Bench; yet it mutt be confelfed, that in fomc cafes, dither:hies attended the adminillration of jultice tmder all our judicial eltablithments. There is a hots adherence to forms, which, however con ducive to the :iberty of the Inbjeft, muff, on occa- Irons of titis for!, be extremely embart ailing, and which migla ultimately defeat the end it was imme diately intended to feetne. If the tingle cbjea were to enquire how far Lord Melville was concerned with Mt.
