Ha a lot regretted the high tore which be thought the Rizlit Hon. Gentleman (Mr. W. Pole) had unnecessarily taken on this occasion, %Apt had raised in his mind a new tdriection t o the motion, by de. •cribing as ineratitude, to vote for it.

Munnintxxs, after au eulogium on the Duke of York for bin excellent administration of the army, moved tk. thanks of the House to his Royal Highness, for his out emitting.iittuntion to the duties of his ofi:ce as Conunandcr in Chief, l means of ‘rhich the British A► my has acquired a degree of dise►pliue and science 'lever before known, and to which, under Providemee, the late glorious ►►recesses and the present security of the country are mainly to he ascribed. General FERGUSON, Colonel WOOD, and otlitrit, bore teotimany to the rapid iniprovenwnt of the tinny under the Ditlie'it Duo siacenient. Mr. WesTenN coincided in the Duke's merits, but was under the necessity of opposing the motion, on the constitutional groand, that, strictly, a vote of thanks was no more due to the Duke of York than to any other member of the administration. Mr. W. POLE, knowing, as he did, the sentiments of his Noble *relation, on the conduct of the Commander in Chief, could lint he silent on this occasion. Was it nucunstitutional to reward a man for the able and successful discharge of his duly, in that situation to which it had been the pleasure of his Sovereign to call him? In giving Ihanks, they did not preclude themselves front judging of the fatore conduct of the individual so honoured, whatever that conduct might be. The same constitutional objection which they had heard this night might be opposed to a similar motion at the close of the war. It might still be urged there was no precedent— ewe indeed there was, but that was of modern date, and therefore could not authorise the reward of merit like a precedent obtained ftom some old musty record. (Dear, hear, hear.!) But for the great exertions of the Duke of York, a,s Commander in Chief, to .apply him with the necessary means, the Duke of Wellingtoe h e _ Leered he could not have achieved the late victory. Ile (the Duke of Wellington) was astonished at the great improvement which had been introduced within the last twenty years into the :trills!' attny, liy the persevering :Rudy, unremitting labour, and, above all, by the impartiality of the Duke of York. The Honourable Centlemen who had brought forward this motion could not feel inure the importance of the Duke of York's exertions than the Duke of Wellington did, in the positive strength which he (the r:ake of York) had given to thellp my whirl' had fined': Wwer leo. The etlicieney of his „trooisioad astouished the Ibike of NM. liugten, and he had expressed himself on the subject in these words; in a letter which he bad written to him (Mr. W. Pole) iiiitnedialdy after the action. " I never took so much pains beferv. I never -.vas r.n near being heateu—the English army never behaved itself an IL" 'lbis praise was dice to every part of the army, and that the at my had merited such an eilicgium was to be ascrined t. fe* whom. the Member for P..‘sex could not agree to a Vote of Thanks, because no old musty recutda furnished a precedent for such a proceeding.
