And he therefore should confine his present motion to the Officers and men who bad carried the late expedition into effect, without ex . tending his vote to include the parties who had planned it. The service, then, to which he had to refer, had certainly not been of so brilliant and imposing a cha racter at all points, as some upon which, in the course of his experience, he had had opportunities of cony*. tulating the House. The enemy, in fact, had been of a less noble, and perhaps of a less formidable character. than those which we had had in other places to encona- ter. •But the troops employed had been compelled to meet local difficulties such as soldiers in very few in stances had ever had to contend with. They had had to combat with heavy and arduous marches in an un known country,—with inclemency of season, unwhole someness of climate, and almost unparalleled fatigue. This service of danger and difficulty had not been con 6 ed to the army. Its operations had been most materially aided by the navy, to the exertions of which the highest credit, throughout the enterprise, was due. It was also a new feature in this contest, lying, as the • scene of operations had done, mainly upon the banksof a great navigable river, that the power of steam had for the first time been applied in aid of our warfare, and used with the most unequivocal success. It was not necessary to enter into the details of 0 struggle • • • which bad been as honourable to the British arms .'idtroughout its progress as in its termination. Upon -::::elett last part of the question certainly he would detain :the House for a single moment in noticing the conduct • of Sir Archibald Campbell, but it should only be for a moment. The moderation and discretion of that gal lant Officer in checking his army when it was within four days' march of the enemy's capital, and when that plunder which would have fairly recompensed his soldiers for their toils was open to them, could not too highly be commended. A temptation which could not fail to be strong in its way had presented itself; but the gallant General bad preferred the opportunity of terminating the war in a way eventually advantageous to the British empire to enriching his army, and had demanded at that period of the contest' • no higher terms than he had asked at its outset. There was another gallant Officer to whom he must also allude by n +met it was impossible for him to pass over the signal service performed by Lord Combermere, in the taking of Bhurtpore. That great and important fortreis was the only one which had ever withstood our arms in lirclia. In the time of Lord Lake, circumrances had brought upon us the misfortune of being repulsed from before it; and the effect which that success had pro- duced upon the superstitious conquerors was lode scribable ; they believed that it was charmed by their Deity, and impregnable for ever to European arms.— Great credit was due to Sir Edward Paget for the . alacrity and judgment with which he had collected to gethet the necessary strength and materials for the attack of that place; and its capture had been one of the most acceptable services which could have been per formed by the arms of this country. He was happy to add, that in both these expeditions the zeal and con rage of the native troops had *hewn itself conspicuously. The Madras Sepoys in particular deserved great praise, for a readiness in the service which could not have been exceeded even by European lot ces. Tne numerous in stances of individual courage and devotion, which it would have been easy for him to allude to, he should , only omit because he had already stated that it was not his intention to bring the details of the war before the, House; and he should therefore conclude by moving, in the first instance,— • 44 That the Thanks of the House should be gives to Lord em bolism, Commander-in.Cbief of the forces in India, for the seal sad meritorious conduct he displayed in commanding the troops ccloyedin the attack upon Shurtpore; and particularly for the en! with which he planned the assault upon that fortress, tie *access of which had been highly valuable to ttte reputation of tie' • Ikitish arms." . ' Mr. HUME rose to second the motion, and entirely ' concurred with Mr. Wynn in his view of the service I .' ' ' which had been performed; the value of which, as well • as the difficulty, he fully admitted the Right Hon. Gen tleman had rather stated below its real extent, than ex aggerated. The degree in which the troops had been exposed to disease might be judged of from the fact, that Regiments of 700 or 800 strong were often unable to furnish fifty men for parade. He rejoiced alai in the particular course which the motion of the Right Hon. I Gentleman had taken; because, although he cheerfully acknowledged the excellent conduct of the war, it would have been impossible for him to have given the same opinion as to its merits, if that question had been • . included in the vote. There was one circumstance on •([ which he desired to say a word—the Right H•mourable Gentleman had said nothing of the troops em • ployed at Atracan. He thought that their services had been of the most distressing and harassing na ture, and that they were well entitled to a sepa rate vote. With respect to the Navy, he was glad to find that their services were duly appreciated by the Right Hon. Gentleman; and the more so, as they had not received justice from a work professing to give an account of the campaign. He gave full credit, as be • had before said, for the mode in which the service of the war had been conducted ; to Sir A. Campbell for the manner in which he had brought it to a conclusion ; and indeed for having brought it to a conclusion almost upon any terms. For the generosity which the Right Hon. Gentleman had attributed to the gallant General, however, in refusing his troops the plunder of the chief 1 city of the Burmese, he rather believed that that policy was entitled to the praise of having been a pfudent as i well as a liberal one; for as Sir A. Cambell, at the time t' when he signed his treaty, had not more than 2,000 men under arms ; and the inhabitants of the city, of I. which he was within four days' march, exceeded that number about 50 times over ; it seemed more than likely that, if he had gone on, instead of having to plunder the great city, his little army would have been de •k. stroyed the moment that he entered it. He said this, t however, with no view to detract from the praise 1 11 . which was so justly due to Sir Archibald Camp bell ; and he believed that many Officers of high reputation would scarcely have gone on as he had done, in the face of the same difficulties. With re spect to what had been said about the fortress of Bhurtpore, he could speak from some experience on that subject, and he agreed with the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite as to the value of that service entirely. He bad himself been in India at the time when the British • troops had been four times repulsed from before that fortress; and fully recollected the impression which that result had produced upon the natives. The taking of that fort did the highest credit to the activity of Lord Combermere, and was of the utmost importance to oar possessions in India• It would tend to re-establish the character of the British arms. Had the attack of that fortress failed, it would ' have been attended with the most unfortunate cOnsequences. Mr. WYNN then moved thanks to Brigadier•general Morrison, and to Sir Archibald Campbell, and the officers and troops under their command; which, and the foregoing, were all carried wens. con. Sir J. YORKE said, that as he understood from his Right Hon. Friend that he was about to move thanks to the Navy, which he rejoiced to hear, as their ter• vices under the Indian sun io very unhealthy climates were no less than those of the Army, although in the publication to which the Hon. Member for Aberdeen alluded, there was no mention of it. General GROSVENOR said, that the Army must feel deeply for the attention which had been shown to their claims, though a little tardy in the expression of it by the Right,Hon. Gentleman. The names of Generals Sir A. Ca I, Lord Combermere, and Sir Vincent Cotton, w t :ul ri stand high in history. The country must feel the greatest gratitude to the Indian army for its many brilliant services. Happy the country which possessed Officers of such high worth to look up to in every future emergency. They had been bred up in the school of one of the greatest Commanders ever known, from whose example they could Got fail to become great themselves. He could not but regret the departure of the great Captain of the Age from the head of the army. Would to Goo there were some coastitutienal adviser—some Nestor to arise, who, with honey lips, could do away the differences which had when morn by accident than from any other cause. He was sure that the country at large did hot lose sight of the,com pliment to the Duke of Wellington paid by our gracious Monarch, who had refused to put any other subject into that royal station, but had t.ken oa his Royal self to effect the duties of it. Sir E. BRYDGES said, that the book which had been referred to only professed to be the journal of an army officer engaged in the,service, and it was not to be wondered at it he had not mentioned the navy. He (Sir E Brydgts) had heard the gallant writer speak in the highest terms of praise of the officers of that service and their brave Commander. The generosity of the English would always be awakened and ready to acknowledge such services, while, on the other hand, to a true soldier there could be no reward equal to those acknowledgments. He wibhed that the India Company would order the crone of rupees contributed by the King of Ava to be distributed among the Indian army. He attributed our recent successes to those highly effective and humane arrangements made for the army by the late ever-to•be lamented Commander-in-Chief. He trusted that the East India Company would add some thing handsome to the money paid by the King of Ava, and distribute it among the troops. It was true the East India Company had already made a distribution among the troops; but it was not enough to get them shoes for such a march. General DUFF hoped that on reflection the Company would be induced to advance something mere. The vote was then carried neer. cox. Mr. WYNN now wished to justify the conduct of the Commander and the Government, who had done every thing to secure victory. The reason why Sir A. Camp bell had not taken more than 2,100 men was, because he thought that force enough for the capture, in the distressed state of the King of Ava; and it was difficult to provide for them : a greater number would have impeded their progress. He now moved the same thanks to the I:slowing Officers: • Major-General Sir T. linnet', Major-General Sir Jasper Nichol,' Brigadier-Genera Adams, Brigadier-General Sir John Whining. bans, and Brigadier-General Wallace Sleigh. The next motion was one of approbation from the House, ac knowledging the seal and discipline of the non-commissioned (Miters and soldiers of the troops under their command, Europeans and natives, which is to be signified to them by the Officers who gear. rally command them. Both carried as before. Mr. WYNN then moved thanks to Sir Archibald Campbell for his valour and perseverance in the con quest of Ava, and the skill and judgment with whicb. l he had conducted the war to so prosperous a termina tion. Next, thanks to the following officers :—Briga dier-General M'Keene, Sir Willoughby Cotton, Briga dier Macreagh, and to the officers in command under them. He took this opportunity of explaining why he did not name more of the latter. It had been well considered during the late war, and the practice adopted was, not to name any officers of a rank lower than he had now done, separately. Had he felt himself at liberty to do ot herwise,l he could not but have noticed with marked praise, Lieutenant Colonel Sale; but the reason for this abstinence was, that in a service where so many were engaged in different operations, some of which, though useful, did not immediately lead to the success of the action, it was invidious to name any without naming all. Mr. HUME admitted the existence and propriety of the rule as to the transactions of the late war. But it ought not to apply to India, where, from the scarcity of Commanding Officers, very important affairs were trusted to the Colonels of Regiments, and even to the Captains of Companies. The motion was carried as before. Mr. WYNN then moved thanks to the Naval Com mander, Commodore Sir James Brisbane; and after that, to the Captains and Officers of the several ships in his squadron. Sir JOSEPH YORKE put it to his gallans.Friend, who was one of the Council to the present Lord High Admiral, if be did not think some of the Captains of that squadron deserved to be distinguished by name? It would greatly please him if thanks were voted sepa rately to that fire-eating Commander, Captain Chad, whose services seemed in justice to requite it. Sir GEORGE COCK BURN, feeling quite as much regard for the honour of the service as his Gallant Friend, could not but think that the rule mentioned by his Right Hon. Friend below him, was a good one— that of not mentioning any Officers under the rank of Commanders; otherwise he would have wished to notice Captains Chad, Marryatt, and Alexander. The motion was then ordered as before.: Mr. ASTELL was against the separation of the Bombay Marine from thegeneral vote of thanks to the other branches of the service. Mr. WYNN stated, that the omission was purely ac cidental, and he would correct the error in the Resoln tion.—The motion was then agreed to. NORWICH ELECTIONS. Lord ALTHORP called the attention of the House to certain motions, of which he had given notice at the early part of the Session, relative to the best mode of diminishing the expenses of elections. He moved for, and was successful' in obtaining, s Committee (now sitting) on the best mode of diminishing the expenses at county elections, the Report of which he hoped to shortly lay before tbe•Monse. His object in rising now, was to obtain kali to bring in a Bill for diminishing the expenses and corruptions at Borough elections, by preventing persons employed as agents from voting at elections. It was well known that several persons un der denominations which were virtually fraudulent, enjoyed the right of •oting in certain Boroughs, and of receiving payment for doing so, under the cloak of being paid as runners, messengers, musicians, who never played in their lives—(A laugh)—and such occu pations. By this means bribery was avowed, and in a manner legalised. He did not mean to attach penal ties to such practices in the Bill he meant to move for leave to bring in, or to deprive Candidates of the right and power of employing such assistants as were actually necessary, and of paying them though voters. His ob jut was merely at the onset, to discourage the practice and cut off the source of the evil. Not anticipating opposition, he would merely move for leave to bring in a Bill to carry his designs into effect. Mr. WYNN approved of the principle of the Bill, though not friendly to the principle of limiting the power of Candidates employing useful assistants at Elections. He remembered the instance of a Ember being paid 50 guineas for having shoed a Candidate. There were many objections presented themselves, which might be discussed when the Bill was bdure the House. Sir C. BURRELL thought the Bill would open a door to mischievous interference of meddling persons at elections, and might act as a Orsfitanchise Mr. BROUGHAM felt grateful to the Noble Lord for the Bill, which the growing expenses and corrup tions at elections loudly called for. He did hot expect any such result as that contemplated by the Hon. Member (Sir C. Burrell), namely, that of disfranchising freeholders. By no means, the law as it stands on this point, if fairly administered, went as far as his Noble Friend's Bill could, and was sufficient to punish the notorious act of bribery—that of the barber—mention ed by the Right Hon. Gentleman (Wynn). He could bear professional testimony to the abuses which the law admi.ted, in admitting the same person to be a highly remunerated assistant and a hired voter. The Bill of his Noble Friend merely went to give a choice to pay a voter as a hired agent, it the candidate pleased, but pro perly prevented that hired agent afterwards voting. surely this was not disfranchisment, but practical jus tice. He hoped the measure would be followed up by others, extending to the growing evils of mis-decisions at contested elections—(Hear, hear). If no other Mem-1 ber took up the subject, he himself would, by first moving for the Minutes of Evidence on some of the recently contested Election Committees—Minutes that would disclose flagrant acts of the total abandonment of common sense, not to say common justice. The House were bound to purify its Election Tribunals—the more so, as the Committees refused to admit evidence of br a berg, or to act on evidence which no Judge in West minster Hall would hesitate to punish by law. He was a moderate Reformer, and would support therefore the moderate measure of his Noble Friend—(Hear). — In this spirit he would wish to amend the Contested Election Tribunals—to abolish the mockery of nomi nees in such cases.—(Hear)—Nominees who were ne cessarily placed in a dilema, after violating their oaths or outraging the bonds of friendship. Let there be a Referee, or Chairman, sitting on the proceeding of parties. Let there be no " striking off" ballots for Committees—he would prefer the first 12 names that could be picked out. The system of striking off was expressively and pertly called striking out the brains and common-honesty-of a Committee.- He'trusted his Noble Friend would not terminate his labours at this point. Mr. S. RICE gave the Bill his best support, were it only from its tendency to check ill will, and diffuse harmony among the Can didates. Lord ALTHORPE was misunderstood by the Hon. Baronet (Sir C. Burrell). His Bill did not go to the extent dreaded by the lion. Baronet, but merely went to cheek the abuses of purchasing votes, by giving their holders payment for offices they did not need and could net fill. At a recent election, for instance, 700 voters were day after day, paid as constables, while ten constables were not required. He would bested to embody all suggestions, when the Bill would be before a Committee. He coald bees personal testimony to the'painful office of nominee. He would much rather, however, that a measure to put an end to nominees, would origi. nate with the Hon. and Learned Gentleman (Brougham). He was net prepared himself with any measure to that effect. Mr. WYNN wished to consolidate and amend the laws relating' to Election, and gave notice of a motion to that effect early in next Session, which he postponed in order thai . the Election Committees might be over, and that the House might be cool. He thought a general consolidatory measure would be preferable to isolated piece meal laws, and would submit one to the House. Sir J. *A R KEN DE It was glad to bear that his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Wynn) intended to bring in a general Bill on the law of controverted Election. He served as a nominee, and subscribed to the opinions expressed of the painfulness of its functions. • Lord MILTON was sure a nominee was and would be nem*. sary while the ballotting system went on. Lord J. RUSSELL thought the system of " striking off" re quired alteration, but still he could not agree as to the number of names that it should be limited to; the fewer perhaps the better; but much would depend on the number and character of the Committee List. Lord NUGENT said a few words to the same effect. Alderman WOOD was sure a man would have no chance If he was a Member of the opposition without a nominee— (Laughter): He had been chosen by ballot on every Com mittee, but was never chosen by a Committee ' nor never would, though he deserved it from the stir he made in favour of an Hon. Member, who by that means only was kept in his seat— (Laughter). He wished the Noble Lord would take a practical lesson from the conduct pursued by the Hon. Electors of the City of London, a pattern to the empire. The expense was trifling, and bribery was out of the question. Mr. H. TWISS was entirely against divesting the nominee of the right of voting, as that course would deprive him of all his weight in the decision. The present system of scrutiny on the spot was most inefficient, and required great alteration. After a few words front Mr. Wrue, leave was gives to bring in in a Bill. 1 PitiRTN ILICTION. Mr. LEIGH KECK said, that in bringing under the consideration of the House the subject of the late Penryn Election, it was his earaest desire to do justice between the parties concerned and the public. This was not the first time the conduct of this Borough had been made the subject of inquiry. In 1819, the House re- Icognised a motion, declaring that bribery and corrup tion were not new in Penryn, and leave was given to bring in a Bill for punishing such practices. In 1824, there was another election. No bribery then took place, at least none was proved. In 1826, great anxiety was manifested to prevent such practices from taking place there as had drawn down punishment on other Bo roughs. It would appear, however, that with recent examples before their eyes, the voters of Penryn were not able to resist those practices to which they had been long accustomed. In coming to this conclusion he con ceived himself to be fully borne out by the evidence. The last election commenced on the 12th June, and in the preceding week a rumour prevailed that the old practice of making the voters comfortable as it was ,called—(a laugh)--was not to be had recourse The consequence was, that on Saturday the Town Crier was employed to call a meeting for the purpose of remonstrating against the Impropriety of not dnlging the electors as usual with drink. The nu of voters was about four hundred. On the Mond, no more than 90 voters came up, and 19 on the T , day. On Wednesday and Thursday, ho wever, attendance was more numerous. When the House hee the evidence it would be impossible for them not to ' ceive that some interference was necessary on their , Here the Hon. Member referred to various parts of evidence, which seemed clearly to prove that bribery , corruption took place at the late election. Such be the state of the case, he should sugge st w h at appean i to him to be the mildest, and at the sam e t i me the mostappropriate remedy. Hi, proposition w as, that elective franchise should be extended, a s in theiestanr, of other Boroughs, to the adjoining H undreds. as i i t tu on ate the freeholde rs h aving acth, and to the a dj o i ning Hun proposed to extend it in this case t o t h e Hundred , awehedic,haPndentro coynwnfe s r . possession of the land. In Penryn, at present, the actual cumber of freeholders was, be underr ood, about eighty. five. By his plan about 1500 more freeholders wo u ld be added to this number. It was clear that such extension of the franchise must prevent the practice, which had hitherto existed. In these two Hundreds there were, besides Penryn itself, two other Horouy' bat very few of the freeholders in those two boren would, under the measure he should propose, h ave right of voting. It might be thought by some t h at would be better to transfer the franchise to some more ,populous place. This was not his opinion, and perhaps these were populous places that would not be disposed to accept of the boon thus offered. When it was pro. posed to transfer the franchise of Grampound to Leeds, the inhabitants of the latter place were of opinion It would not be much to their advantage. Manchester was not of the same disposition, as he understood ; which was right he should not take upon himself to. In Manchester, however, there was a great difference of opinion as to the amount of the rate to which right ought to be attached. He felt, however, m ote disposed to adopt the course sanctioned by experiee ce , than that of transfer to another district. It the House should concur with him in this suggestion, he would then propose resolutions, as the basis of a 13:11• another resolution, the object of which would prosecution of the offenders—(Hear, hear). This count he conscientiously believed, was the most eligib'e.T H sn. Member concluded by proposing tl.e lollowivg Resolutions : " Resolved—That it is notations that bribery and corn*, took place at the last election for the Borough of Penryn; taunts practices are not new in the said Borough, boyar be:ore brought under the consideration of the Hethe in ISO; and that the state of the Borough requires the most seri .us col 'ion of Parliament ; that leave be given to bring in a Hill for the elective franchise ; and that the Attorney General b to prosecute John Sunbury, and the other voters who . of bribery at the last election." Sir W. BURRELL seconded tr.e motion. They of bribery and corruption appeared to be c:earlv out, and it was not new in this borough. So were the voters to the practice, that, though the danger, they still persevered. In 1819, it sea that the first question put to one of the candida. whether he would be willing to give the breach Now, the meaning of this was, that every attended the breakfast was to have 221. puck. hand. One of the very men now ordered to be , toted, named Sewell, was proved to have asked Swan whether he would give the breakfast. highly to the honour of the late Member for (Mr. Grenfell). that he refused to offer hirnse.f _ didate for the place, knowing the practices that prevailed. Here the Hon. Member read a copy of the letter of NI Grenfell to his former constituents, declining to r for the borough of Penryn. This practice of t: e fast still prevailed. Ho thought that what had proposed by his Hon. Friend was liable to no in as much as it threw open the previlege of a he tion to 1500 persons. He preferred estendin franchise to the surrounding hundreds instead or coenty. The inconvenience of the latter cour been fully exemplifie d in the case of Yorkshire, a gentleman possessing a fortune of 20,0001. a yr been deterred from going to the pill by the which it would bring upon him. And it been declared in that House that the Election cost other candidates above 100,0001. The cori•equeoce this was that none but men of large property cool. chosen to represent the county, without reference I tellect or capacity. He did not mean any choir sonal to the present Members—(A laugh). But county was liable to be placed in that situation. these reasons be thought so wide an extension( right was not advisable, and that it would be limited to the hundreds. Mr. C. BARCLAY defended the conduct electors of Penryn. He assured the House he h. bestowed a shilling upon any one elector, and th. ther be nor his Colleague influenced, by bribe nor of reward, a single elector at the election. h that there existed no proof of bribery beyond of 2701. which was too small a sum to justify the recommended by the Hon. Gentleman's motion. The Borough of Penryn was particularly unfo• It bad fallen under the notice of the House s times, and the impression was not likely soon effaced. The House should recollect, that the in this Borough were composed of the bfrgistrairs and respectable tradesmen, to whom it would be did an insult to offer a bribe. Nay, so peculfarlY they feel, that one of his withhold M r. Barclay's) voters was offered a considerable sum to his vote from bin), but the honest fellow's reply was, ." No; you may lay n iece a block and cut my head ff, before I'll change al Vote.”—(Laughter). It was a delicate subject to talk about ; but, whilst on the subject, be felt that a in Parliament was necessary ; for out of up Members, he was told, only about 160 ward' 4 ' were r eturned bY the voice of the people. He should view with greatje le lousy any proposition to le ss en the latter number. Lord MILTON thought a consideraqe case hadbed e made out by the Honourable Gentleman in answer r! the charges against the Borough; but there W 26 sufficient matter in them to require further investiga• tion, and that could be had in the Committee oil the Honourable Member's Bill. It had always appeared to him that one of the most admirable principles in the Constitution of that House was the varietv of classeel d which the elective franchise belonged, and by which 11 1 the different interests of the country became represented in Parliament. In his opinion, it was extremely de` eirable to preserve that balance, and not in any Re' ms which should be made to take the right of der don from one class of men and transfer it to another. If they took that right from a body of persons in Pour' who were engaged in trade or manufactures, and gel it to the freeholders of the neighbouring hundreds, they should be effecting a great change in the constitution er the House.
