But in the Rate in which the country Itood it was not his intention to propofe any thing on the fubjed. It certainly would Got be proper that loch a quell inn I/mold be brought forward when any of the dillin guiffied perfons belonging to that Houk were itecef rattily called on to be not of it. It might happen, ere long, that their being called to exercife fume im. portant trolls in the State, might occalion a tempo. vary ceffation of their attendance in that Houfe. He fhonld only, therefore, at prefent move that the Co. pies of the Treaties in queltion do lie on the table.. —As to the mode in which the difcuffion Should be brought forward, he had no with on the fubjed other than, to accommodate thole Gentlemen to whom he bad alluded. His only anxiety was, that the difcul lion ffionld be brought forward. As, however, he mod tbofe with whom he ailed, would not have it in their power to expedite the bufinefs, he loved. that sip he Ibould never be defirous to force the dikuffion a; an inconvenient time for thole Gentlemen, they would be difpofed to thew that it had fallen into hands who would be equally ready to do every juflice to the fubjed. With thefe explanations be concluded by moving. ' , That the Treaties do lie on the table." Mr. FOX Asada As papers were at prefent in a fituation in which the Houfe could be enabled to judge of them, the obkrvations made by the Noble Lot d night be perfectly comet% If they were not in that gate, what had fallen from him was quite out of the quellion. If the Noble Lord had attended to the amendment made by his Noble Friend, he would Have found that it went to this :—That when Nell capital misfortunes have occurred within the lati year, unparalleled in their probable confequences. even to this country, we ghouls!, in voting additional (implies, tyke care that we do not entroll them to htsprovident hands, who may increafe rather than diminifh and avert the dangers by which we are threatened to be overwhelmed. To enter into the details of fuck fubjed before the papers are printed that are to fur. ailh the materials by which a judgment of the fad might be formed, would be improper and unwed. fury. With refired to the with expreffed by the No. Sle Leff, that the &bled Sould be fully difenffed, and the mode of ,difeuffing it, there were what the Hoak. - sad the Gentlemen to whom the Noble Lord alluded, be they whom they might, mull determine, and whom* they might be he could not fay—(hey . cad farm the Mayterial Basch J — Some palms or 15ther, h admitted, mull be in that Minion hefted the difett on could take place: He, for one, did nat Apitatal to pledge his opiotow on the fubjei till he itdraad the papers.

Mr. GREY withed to know if he had rightly um derftood what Treaties ware produced. So far as Iffi could follow the titles, they teemed to him to relate to Sweden and Raffia alone; but there feemed to Is ypo Conventio t between this Country and Aufiria. withed to know if he was come& in this partici. hr; aid if It., whether the uot.produdion of that Treaty was an miffing) ? • Lord CASTLEREAGH explained that them were produced three Treaties between this Country and Sweden. and one between this Country and Ruffia, to which Aultria afterwards acceded. The Commo tion with Ruffia confifled of fifteen articles, one of +which was never ratified. Of the remaining lourteen, nine only were on the table, it not having been judged expedient to produce the others. The Gentlemen who were to fucceed the prefent Minifiers, would, however, have it in their power to judge of the pro. prkty of this. Mr. FOX afked, if there were any other doen. !mots relative to the &high army on the Continent ? Lord CASTLEREAGH a.ofwered, that he knew of none, but he thould inquire, and Ihould be happy to receive the Honourable Gentleman's commands, and to afford him every information he might require. In anfwer to a quelifon from Mr. Wickham, Lord CASTLEREAGH again Rated, that the force Whirls the documents on the table Ibewed was to be depended on,exclulive of Britith. Swedith, &c. mounted to within ;ow of soo,ooo men, of which iffo,ocra were Ruffians. The papers were then ordered to lie on the table. LORDS NILSON, COLLINCWOOD, NORTH'S'S, AND THS OTHER Of &MIAS •lID SSAMFII, WHO DORS A PART IN TN, LATE BRILLIANT NATAL VICTORIES. Lord CASTLEREAGH, purfuant to his notice on a former day, role to bring forward his motion for • a tribute of refpeet to the memory of the deceafed, and an expreffion of gratitude towards the perfons who. Survived the dangers of the different naval ac tions which have lately contributed fo materially to reduce the power of the enemy, and added In con& derable a degree of luflre to the Britifh arms. The Noble Lord traced the combined fleets through all their different situations, from the time of their Rat • jundion, to-the time of their efcape to the Well Indies, from thence tip to the moment of the memo. Fable ation of the 21 a Odober, off Cape Trafalgar. That they had, during all that (pace of time, done no mifehief, comparatively to what might have been expelled, to the commercial interefis of Great Bri. fain, he declared was, in his opinion, chiefly attlibut. -.ll l t. to-the very able arrangements which had been ataJe by his Majefty's Lords CommifTioners of the Admiralty. When the combined fleets were in the port of Cadiz, on their return from the Well Indict. they found that their numbers amounted to 4 of j the line, and that the Arndt) force which came :iitoft immediately after.rards to the Ilt-ckach: r.l that port, Was mei) , of the fame ntength, in point of moue. rival calculation. It to: tuna:ely, however, happened • that the illultriona Hen-, who is now nn more, and whole lots is molt wove:hilly ci pl .red throughout the country. found it nateitary to detach a.divition . -of [even-fail of the loge not rf cur thirty-four, from the Beet under his command, for the put pore of ob taining refreffimenr. The encmy Peeing that the numbers of our fleet had been confidcrahly reduced, and not having an opportunity of afcertaining what was the recite amount of the force remaining to blockade their port, came out and iiikcd a battle, the MIA of which it was not neceffary for bins to mention, as the official tiatements refpeding it had been long Ante laid before the public, end the fame of it was term this time fpreall throuthnut the whole of Europe. The enemy had intended to go n p the 1 Mediterranean, in ord e r t o prevent e t thwart the operations of We Confederacy in that qa trier- Bit their inten. ion wa. fo completely frultrated, and their flttts were to totally defeated, withotft the 1.31; of a tingle thy to his Majefly's Navy, that tLe 'event was without a parallel even in the annals of a Bri•ilt Ntvy, ft was not fufficient, however, that he fhould .:ice only the glory which terminated that ever Memorable day, but it was neceffary that he fhould.alib'andea• vour to call to the recolledion of the Houle the ar duous talk which Rill remained to be performed— the difficulty of combating the elements—which was overeothe by the unremitting exertions of thole who furrived after the hour of battle. The humanity which was then difpiayed towards our fellow crea• tures, who had ceafed to be our adverffiries. was a 'trait in the charaaer of the Britilh Navy which was alto worthy of the h . gheß commendation, though the mercift of flat benevolent feeling had long fence been a fettled feature in the charafter of a Briti(h Seaman. It was a feeling which alto was the pride of ancient France to cultivate, but which modern France ended vowed as much as poffible to (title. Another eircum• Rance was alfo deferring of notice; Come ache IN ps of the enemy having cleaned the havoc of the fight and the deflroaioad the elements, Sir R. Str • n came , up, and rr ight be Paid to have completed wl the ele a Meats lead occa fi oned to be left undone. e rerun 1 of thefe different engagements was, that fiTteen fail of the line were taken front the French, and ten from the Spanifh Navy ; ten of thefe were transferred to the Navy of Grekt Britain, fo that there was a differ cue of 35 fail of the line between the comparative Rate of the Britifis and Combined Fleets, before and after the time of the engagements of which be was (peaking. He alfo thought it neceffary to obferve, that the Vidory of Trafalgar was gained on the vet y ' day that would contribute, above all others, towards making the event fine deep into the heart of him whole ambition in wiffied particularly to curb, and whole power we molt anxinufly .defired to limit. At the very moment, perhaps, that expreffions of exul tation were falling from his lips on account of his (meek in another quarter, as he might afterwards learn, there was filch a blow given to that peculiar defcriptinn which he was mnft deficient in. as mug convince him that there was one nation at leaft which had the inclination and the power to prevent him from attaining his molt favourite object, an 'relation of his commerce. The victory of that day, however. he matt add, was not obtained Without a tenons lots on our part; a hero felt, whole life was devoted to the fervice of his country from the tithe of his infancy to that of his lateß breath; a man who, throughom the whofe courfe of his life, attracted the friendthip of every individual round him, and by that means might be (aid to have enfured fuceefs, if it was in the power of the force under his command to mem:tenni:it the °Ned which he had in view. Bat he had a mode peculiar to himfelf, for every plan wAs formed exactly to fuit the particular eircuntflances of his lineation at the moment ; there was fornething new in each deur. as May be olsferved froth a recurrence to the defcreption of what Was achieved by him at the battle of Aboukir,lhe battle of Copenbage.n, and the battle in which he terminated his career of "glory.-k , That enormous perfon had eanftantly, in all their trying fituations, to contend againfl bodily infirmities fuch as would have been fufficient reafon to any but his great mind for his withdrawing himfelf from the fervice of his country. That gallant and mug indefatigable perfon, however, nobly perfevered, and the hiflot y of hisgreat life was wound up with a aloft refplendent aft of glory. What was within the power of his Majafty's munificence was done, and his Mi• nifters had thought it their duty to give their advice for every thing that was p.offible to be done towards the name of Nelfon. The hero himfelf was now placed fat beyond the reach of our gratitude; but, the reprefentatives of a great nation, would, he was well convinced, molt readily conctir with the paren tal defire of their Sovereign, and place the relatives of that great man in a fituatiab worthy the character of that friend, whole valuable life was loft in the ler vice of his country. It was the with of his Majelly, that the widow of fuels a perfon fhould have fuch ample provifion made for her, as would be propor tionate to her rank in fociety, and (tech as by her claims on the country the was justly entitled to. An annual income of wool. was meant to be fettled on her, not in the common fenfe of the term property, but as National property, to be for ever attached to the name and family of Nelfon. This was not meant to be done in fuch a way as might compel the re ceiver of inch a mark of public gratitude to live be yond their income ; but it was to be done by the pill chafe of landed property, and it was propofed that the funs of two hundred thoufand pounds Atould be appropriated to that purpofe. This aft would corn memorate the atchievements of the Hero to the lat eß age', and the country would by this means derive a tatting hmeflt from what was originally a moil me lancholy utisfut tune, as future officers would look to the hittory of a Nelfon for the model of their prole,: (tonal condufl. The Noble Lord then recapitulated the names of lime of the Officers who were next in rank, or who had moll eminently dißinguiffied them felves in the battles of Trafalgar and Cape Ortega'. One eircutallance had nearly efcaped his recolleetion —that was, that it was propofed that thole who had endured the harifhips of thofe battles fhould have a participation to the full amount of the benefits that would have refulted if they had brought the whole of the captured (hips into the ports of Great Britain, I no `l they were now added to the number of his Mn.l city's Navy. His Lordfliip concluded with moving— ; " That an humble ,Ickircfs be prefotted to his Nlaj, tly, pra)ll.l that he nay be gractouny pleated to order, that a Monument he crated in the Cathedral Church of Sr. Paul's Landry', to the me moryof the rate Admiral Horatio Lord Vifeount Ndfen, who tell at the moment of the =ft glorious and deeifive victory over the enstino. , l fleets of France and span, which waa obtained by Isis fuperior (kill and enterprise, on the 21It of (Dauber, off Cape Tratalear."—.Carnied row. rm.

TLe flanks of the Houfe were alto, on the motion of Lind Caillereagh, unanimnufly voted la Admiral Lord Northefk, Sir R. Strachan, and the f I O. cers, Seamen, and Marines throughout the different parts of the fleet that bole a Aare in the memorable battle of Capes Trafalgar and Ortegal.

But now that the 'Thank. of 'he HoitCe were unanimoutly car tied, he thotaylit it his El.!: y to recommend to the ' Noble I..”rd, thatoti any Inure occafion funilar to the prefent, he thotild cart that he did not blend the condua of Milliners and oh the Admiralty with that of thole to whom thanks, were to be voted. He alto informed the Noble Lord, that the feryices of Magi cal Lord Northelk appeared to him to have been left too long unnoticed. Lnrd CASTLEREAGH declared that he had found it utterly impotlible to examine former into all the different claims to Royal favour which rebuked from fuel) ations as thole of which he now (poke. But the Noble and Gallant Officer was to be made a Knight of the Bath. As to the mention of the Ad miralty, he thought that he was completely julbfied in making arc of it at the time, as the ideas mull be ft naturally mine:led with each other, that it was :down imponible to think of the one withoUt thinking of the other. The prefent Firit Lord of the Adm. ralty was alt.' particularly entitled to the commenda tion of that Houle; and the gratitude of the country, for his indefatigable exertion in arranging the civil department of the navy on bitch a plan as mull in the ' end conttibwe mon materially to the ftrength and glory of the empire. Mr. FOX, in explanation, obferved, that really if Gentlemen prefent had not heard what he had laid, they would have been induced to luppole from what fell from the Noble Lord, that he had (aid fomething to the difparagement of the Fan Lord of the Admi ralty. The an was, that he would have raid what he did fay if Lot d Spencer or Lord St. Vincent had been at th e head of that hoard. He had only re commended the Noble Lord not to blend the names of perfons who had nothing to do with a tranfaaion, with thole of perfons who were entitled to the thanks of the Houle. For it would be clearly Peen that a cafe might arife where there was great demerit nn the part of the Admiralty, and yet the navy had proved ruccelsful. In loch a cafe, the greater the de merit of the one, the more meritorious would be the coadua of the other. _ - _ _ Mr. GREY obferved that, as he had Paid on a former oceation, it was evident that we were indebt ed either to the interpofilion of Paotioence or the tnifrnanagement of the enemy for our Wed India Hands not being more injured than they were. A reference to the (late of infurance at that time would (hew the apprehenf►uas that were entertained by tbofe who were bed informed on the fubjedt- After fome further converfation, General GROS VENOR obferved, that Admiral Harvey, who com manded the Tcmeraire, bad alth datinguiffied him fell mod honourably in one of the engagements, which gave a fouftdation for the Thanksof the Houfe being voted. Having been an old Companion, ail old Fellow-Member in that Houfe, he would have been glad if that Honourable and Gallant Officer's name had been alfo mentioned in the Vote of Thanks. He mull, therefore, conclude in the words of the fong How 't would cheer bar heart, to Mw, That our old Companion he wai Ones SUPPLY. The Report of the Committee of Supply was brought up and read, as follows : Received, That 110.000 men be employed for the Sea Service for the year aBc6, including 29.000 Royal Marines.
