Earl BATHURST next moved the Thanks of the Douse to Sir Thomas Gralelin, for his skill and pep severance in conducting the siege of St. Sebastian. Lord HOLLAND suggested that some words should be inttoduced into the motion for the purpose of contradicting the calumnies published iu the Spanish papers. We could not hear the answer of Lord Bathurst. The Duke of •NORFOLK observed upon the no velty of a distinct motion of thanks to as officer un. der the command of another. Earl BATHURST said, that Sir Thomas Graham bad closed a glorious military career with the affec tionate regard and esteem of the whole army ; and he had thought it right to deviate from the usual course, for the'porpose of diitinctly marking the merits of this distinguished officer. The motion, as originally proposed, was agreed to ran dist.; as . were also motions thanking the Ge neral Officers under the command of Lord Welling ton ; the Officers, British, Spanish, and Portuguese; and highly acknowleding and approving the services of the non-commissioned officers and soldiers, Bri tish, Spanish, and Portuguese; the Lord Chancellor, to communicate 'them to the Marquis of Welling ton. 11.

If i either of these objects was that of the Noble Lord, I then, identified as the honour and purity of the Speaker's character were with the. dignity of their proceedings, it would, in his opinion, be imperative on the House to enter on an investigation of the merits of the case.at a period mach - earlier than that fixed by the Noble - Lord.. If, on the other hand,' the Noble Lord had no other object in the motion of which he ha& given notice, than to makeit a vehicle for temark.onilte Motives Which had induced, the House to reject the Citkollt Bill, thereby •indi ' redly -involving a stecnirildeffitit 'Of the Catholic ; Question, it was a matter MT - indifference, whether ' the subject should be discussed at present, or at the period fixed on by the Noble Lord, who had indeed' I assigned as the cause of delay of his motion the ab. I sence of the Members of the Sister Country, who were most nearly interested in the decision of that ' question. FOr his part he conceived that it was the duty of the Irish Members to be present at the com mencement of the Session. If the object of the Noble Lord was that which he had first described, the House ought not to wait for their arrival ; if his object was merely the indirect revival of the Gatti°. lic Question, then it 'might be desirable to postpone' the discussion until those could attend who would be dispoied to take so large a share in ' it:' Trusting that the House would grant him the indulgence of the eking any farther remer,lks w hich the reply of the Oloble Lord might render pecpsiary, he would now content himself with moving—t' That the Speaker desired to print the Speech made by him to the Prince Regent at the bar of the House of Lords, On Thursday, the 22Al of July, 1813, on presenting several Money Bills, which then received the Royal iitssenVg !'- • • • ImotiAs the Speaker was reading the on, , Mr. TIERNEY Wished to know whether the lion. tvs: v *ea t n lo t r th s lt the Speech S f pe or ech the sho i l ti d or be ma p ti r o in n ted of w t r e ' use?, If the former, it should be recollected that el:kiwis ilivays considered as a mark of approbation "Whit was sure the Hen..

He as sure tee H ouse t hat he wise perfectly unaware of , the intention of the Hon. Member for Bedford to say "tasty thing on ate subject; he bad received no notice of such an intention. There could therefore be no ponnection of the kind alluded to.' When the Speaker had, with so much propriety (in reply to the observations made by the Monadember for Bedford) declared his readiness to meetpuy . charge that might I be preferred . against him on . theaubject, he (Lord 1 Metpeth) had thought it hill i sty„ eniertainiug the I opinions which he did eel!! ii„ 'th come forward land inlimate.his intention, itto l it subsequent period, to bring the question under the consideration of Par. Bement. With respect to the enquiries made by the iHonourable Member for Surrey, he was apprehen iitive that he could cot furnish the lion. Gentleman ! Sith information that would prove- satisfactory to Bliss. He was not at present prepared to ley before the House thescope and extent, much less the frame and construction of the motion that it was his intention to submit to them. This, however, he seat prepared to lily : that if he was rllghtl7 informed of the nature of .the speech made by the Spealifir At the bar of the , House of Lords, in his view of the subject ,tbat speech cniiveyed expression% which, both on perlia- I mentary and on constitutional groinds, were ex i tremely_goestionable • and which, deserved the se. ; lieu, attention and t bs aoleme ievestigasion of a full, Honee of :Ccimmons—a House of Commons which should contain those Members whO were favourable to the measure to which the expression he alluded to referred, as well as those inimical to it. Wi.h that 1 . conviction and impression he bad given his notice for lam early period after the recess, and should per*. were in making his motion at that'peried unless some btber proceeding, on the part of the House, should 4 ; prevent him from doing : so. It could scarcely be !necessary for him to say, that in giving his notice he had abstained from all harsh expressions towards the distinguished individual wit* -.was the object. He hid been too long a Member of that House, and had too frequently witnessed the general excellence of the manner in *which that individual had discharged ' the high duties entrusted to h im, to enter on an in vestigation of any part of his - olliCial conduct ;sills other-sentiments than those of the deepest respect. i Mr. B.BATHURST showed, that the Noble Lord's conduct was calculated to place the House in a very i awkward situation. For the Noble Lord- had dis tinctly alleged, that tie speech of the Right Hoc. Gentleman in the Chair, on the occasion alluded to, was extremely questionable, and yet he proposed to postpone to a distant day, the decision of a charge so materially affecting the dignity of tbe Mouse and • the character of the Right Hon. Gentlemen who I held the high o ffi ce of presiding over its delibera. lions. Now he would put it to the -House, : lt hether it would be fitting or fair to pursbeisteh 1' line of 1 proceeding towards any individual whatever, whose Iconclect might be brought under the4otebrideration of I that mi. of - any candid assembly ? On this occasion be felt himself atliberty to urge thekethich he was 1 . - beforetprevented frOm stating, whea . ,hekhed.,endea. . voured, perhaps' irregularly, to preis upon the at. tention of the House. Bat although at that time, namely, when tilt Noble Lord gave- notice of Ms motion, he (Mr. B.) was properly interrupted, yet Pothers, from be in the recollection of the Noble Lod and ' Pothers; from whom the interruption proceeded, that . [ a . practice hid long prevailed of putting queltions to . Individual Members when there was no motion what. , amir.before the House. He, therefore, although no. doubt, not strictly .regular, did not, •In'putting .a . question to the Noble Lord respecting the nature of his Intended motion, deviate from a long • permitted practice. But to revert to the Mectimpediately Under the Consideration of the Houy', he thought . that it involved a question . of pril4lege, and was it . .fair that on such a question, particularly the Speaker, whose peoaliar duty it was to take care of the privi. legal of that House should for so long a period have the censure, even by implication, suspended osier hie bead, of bating deliberately violated those privi leges. •He was aware that no Member _could bp forted to bring any motion into discussion sooner. than he himself thought exptdiebt ; but he submitted it to tho candour of the fie* Lord, dibether, as it *tight be deemed analogenakoky eitimit were - made \c1:4005, I yhl' • . • • .• • • . : -•— - •*. • ...':' ..;..:;-1...;•7:.:37-..-:•---74X7 . : b," •• fr, •; . . . , .. •.. .. . .. .. - --,. .. 7 : ••• ; • "./ 'sdil iti: JOH 74 . 9 " 7 :f • .. ••••• - ~ ... . _. . . ..., . .--. ~er •i 4 4 ):,••••if .; 7 •.„.. .. , .

Having pained' in the House of Commons it had been 'Carried to the House of Lticts at a period not long before the ter mination of the Session. This it was, perhaps, which prevented any proceeding from being had in the Lords on the subject, as it was well known that on such questions each Roam preferred taking evidence itself to relying on the evidence afforded in the other, and there was notiime for examining in the House' of Lords the necessary evidence in the case to which he alluded. For that nod other reasons be was de sirous of thus early calling the attention of the. House to the subject.
