Lord Cocsiarote said, he disclaimed any a►tempt at eloquence; be came forward iii this busmen, be cause it involved abuses not only of the nary, bat of the country at barge; and would pledge himself, that if the papers fur which be would move ware _bitterest forward, he would bring to light such acts of unparalleled corruption :.s had neve, been witues‘ed even under the government of the Prince of Peace. Certain Akers rectived more than would maintain ooe half the navy, ■nd ta (any times more than their exertions entitled t:ic-n to. He would expose the plunder to which Greenwich Hospital was ex posed, and the corruption of compromising the broils of the Ad.iiiralty, where 4,0001. was given no fo. a compromise of i,0301. and the Admiralty were aware Id it. Another abuse, respecting he w iuld bring to public view. He would she. , that Vir. Greatharn received two-thirds of the am out praxes under that Court, whale those who had fought fiercely hi defence of their coun try, were denied the trivial reward of their labours and fatigues. These men should surely come in for a proper share of die prizes. It was cot neces sary that their pay should be raised, as he conceived that rather an evil than !tut ; but the button,. they had undergone, and lie dangers thet bad en countered, s.,on d be considered and rewarded. He bad himself 2.5001. to pay upon a I which he had taken, au I w..ich we- condemned as a droll of the Admiralty. He inveighed in strong terms against the system i•f lie-rises, which, he asserted. were articles of save, as lunch as sny other commer cial commodity. lii, Lordship then submitted a series of caotiour. The first was, " That there should be l-id before the House Copies of the Agent's Accounts of th • Proceeds from the Sale of a long List of Prizes, which were specifically enu merated." Mr. Rosa wished to know whether he meant the amounts which were delivered into the Court of Admiralty ? Sir WILLIAM SCOTT stated, that he had no other objection to the moti in. than that he di.l not un derstand the purpose of it. He defended the Court of Admiralty from the a tta c k or the Noble Lord. and pledged himself that the Noble Lord would he u unfortunate in that attack, as in others which he had thought proper to smoke. Mr. Ruse declared Lis willingness to grant or move for any papers whi..ii :night tend to tiring to light existing abases in the navy. He had himself spent drive and nights in the investigation of certain . tie defied the Noble Lord to point out an ins•ance in which the King's Proctor charged more than any other Proctor would have done. There were 153 cases of abuse by under agents towards the offiLers of the navy, which he had discolored, nine of which were en a state of preparation to be brought to trial. One case was that of an agent in Portsmouth, who had 6t ,0001. to div•de. and who charged upoo that sum feeste the amount of 9,4601.; 1.2001. of which was fur postage. There were other eases in which great sums were kept in the hands of the agents altogether. He had appointed • person to inquire into those and similar vases, who had exerted himself with great effect. But he had seen the charges of the Noble Lord before; he had seen them in a pamphlet, the writer of which had once charged fifty guinea* for drawing up a me morial, which the King's Proctor would have done for five guineas. With respect to the droits of Admiralty, lie wisSed the Noble Lord would put his finger upou any particular abuse, instead of making general charges, lie was sure every obser vation of his (Lord Coeirane's) would turn out un founded. MT. CHARLES DU , I DAS spoke in favour of the Gentleman appointed by Mr. Roes. Mr. STSTSIIII entered into a vindication of the characters attacked by the Noble Lord. tie ob jected to the productio r of such a volume of papers, which would lead to an investigation as laborious as that of the Walcherm expedition. He did not think it too much to ask that the Noble Lord should first inform himself upon the evidence, be. fore he brought accusations of suck a nature against characters so high, both fur wisdom and integrity. He will sure that the generxl tendency of the Noble Lords' motion must turn out utterly groundless. Sir CHARLIM Patcs thought that they should grant the Papers. He diaupproved of confining the business of the navy to the King's Proctor, and detailed some instances, in proof of his opinion. Mr. Ross 'proposed, that the Noble Lord should more for the mamma of one ship, and not of the whoie camera Sir Jean NICHOL defended the present practice. and sairktbst the emoluments of the King's Pro,. tor, so far from am wasting bi 30,0001. or 40,0001. s-year, did not exceed 7,0001. If am• one cols- Alined of hi. charges, his bill was liable to be taxed. Ile defended the charge of the .30 per cent. by the Gentlemen through whose means the yes. rel. were coudesn•d; and said, that the other 70 went to the captor.. It would be injurious, he said, to the nary at large, to be permitted tu clime its own Proctors. Lord Cousastin, in a spirited reply, persisted in attaching blame to the Admiralty Court*. His lemma did not ori4in.ite. as had been insinuated, from the pamphlet; he had given notice of it last session. He still believed the King's Proctor's emoluments extremely h i gh, and thought it a hard s+iip that it snould exceed the Speaker's. A ItiagL4 He tamaied his eletelottio the ao per cent. as a fraud tam p& Gresavoich Ho Altai. Mr. Rosa expledued. Capt. llsassruao maintained, that the Officers of the Navy were willing to du their duty, without any mercenary comiderstmo.

Mr. YORKS complained of a growl breach of Privilege. by a self-erected society, an out-door Parliament, called the British Forum. He read a placard, which stated, that it was etiaaimously de termined, last Monday. in that society, that the enforcement of the Standing Order ought to be re probated as an insidious attack upon the liberty of the press, and a measure calculated to bring them into disrepute with their constitweuts. He professed himself* friend to the liberty of the p►css, but not to its licentiousness. As to the enforcement of the Standing Order, he was more and more convinced of the propriety of it every day. He then moved, " That the paper should lie on the table, and that the Clerk should read that part of The Bill of Bights which referred to the freedom of debate." This being done, he moved, " That .1. Dean, the printer of the placard, should appear at the Bar to-morrow ;" which was agreed to. Mr. RORKEII moved for • helert Committee to inquire into the high price of Gold Bullion ; the nature of the circa lath., medium, sad the coarse of foreign exchange.

LORD CRATHAM's NARRATIVE. Lord Poaentreit ri.ovcd the Order of the filly for the House resolving itself into a Committee on the Scheldt Expeditsoo. - Lord Fecesroirn, seeing the small progress abaat: in this Inquiry, notwithstanding the length of time it had already occupied the House, sug rated that mare hours might be allotted to it, either by beginning the business at the momen t they met , or, by m e eti ng i n t h e morn i ng . But there was something of much greater moment which induced him to rir.e before this question was pet. A paper had been laid before the House, this day, which it behoved them most seriously to consider, whether it ought to have been produced is them or not, and of wuich they had no right really to know the existence. It was a narrative of the conduct of the Expedition under his command, given by Lord Chatham to the King, without the intervention of any officer or Minister who could be responsible for it. What was also extraordinary was, that it had no bead or title, and it was impossible to ray what it was. bow they became acquainted with it, or by what mesas they procured it. How were they then to know that it was a true copy of the paper called for? and if it was not, who was answerable for the blame ? It bed appeared in the public papers, months ago, that Lord Chathiun was to present his narrative at the levee. This narrative purported to be written in October, yet it was not so prevented till the 14th Feb. ; on the lith of which month, a private mend of the Noble Earl, had asked Mi nisters if they intended to produce it? and on the'sr answering in Cie negative, that Houourable Mem ber had given notice, and moved for its production on the tritti. ( Hear !) %Vas it put, as it seemed • to be, into existence, for this very purpose of be ing produced? ( Hear I . hear !) It was for their se rious consideration bow they cause to receive it. Lord Chatham. not as a Peer, a Privy Courieillev, or a Cabinet Minister, but as the Commander-in- Chief of the Expedition, hart laid it before the King, without the intervention of any responsible Mini•ter or Officer of State. What then becauie.of the responsibility ? ( Hear !) Besides, lord Chat ham was directed, His Majestys's sign mainul i to correspond throul the medium of the Secretary of State. The N• e Lord related the case, again t ? expressed his desire to know from what office the paler was produced, or whether taken from His Majesty's private desk ? But, as it ought. perhaps, explain itself, he desired that it might he reed. On the Clerk's proceeding to read the document, Mr. Cannier. rose lot suggest to the House, that no light, as to the matter of form, whether the pa per was eonstitotionally come by or not, could. pro sibly be derived from reading it. On the fare of it, it appeared to be gives to His Majesty, Mid our to any Miiiirter; and he agreed with the Noble Lord, that it was for their most serious considera tion, whether it ought to be seen or not.. Every order made by the Hour 'suit be addressed to some responsible Olicer, and the most serious CCM. sequences would result, were the Papers of the Sovereign to he produced, without that cosistitu ton All fellikaalaiatity.-ssiffe a r!, He suggested this before reading the paper. to put the house on its guard against the unpleasant eircusastaneee which might arise from raising it. contents with the present important discussion. The mode of re medy was easy. It might be withdrawn. as it was not the narrative of a Cabinet Minister, or Privy Councillor. but of the Commander-in-Chief; ern played under the Secretary. of State, as much as it he held none of these char:eters. CRAIICELLOR 4 the Excnitnuan thought this discussion rather late: as. if the propri,-ty of profits.. ing the paper hod heel' doubted, it ought to have beat so stated, when the Hon. Member (Gen. Loftus) moved for it, and accurately described *bat it was. At that time, it did not occur to him, „or any Gentleman hi the House. to offer our ob • * *lion : and when the Flouee resolved to call fur the paper, it only became his duty to take His liinpisty's pleasure ou the subject. On doing this, he found that His Majesty- had depueited it adli his Secretary of St a t e , L or d' Liverpool; from whom he obtained the copy, ethie.4l he had presented to the House, and for which he was responsible. Ile • could not conceive eny Parliamentary objection to 1 . in' being read ; hut, if there were any, they were more likely to be solved in any other way, ilian from the contents of the pager. Mr. CANN two.statted (iii jortifyim: himself from inattrioion whew the paper was nai red for) that be. fore he quitted His Majesty's sera ion, it was under .tem) that Lord Chatham sem to 'se tolled on for a „putative of the Expedition ; and when the motion „Ban wade, he naturally concluded it wa s for that its:naive. But row bees., that this was leresetited so late as the 14th Felerearv, .he must pre.suene it was of quite adi Iferent description. —f Hear/ hear 11 General Lorrua asid. Mb" House had not ni•en taken by sus prise in this ellallter; of which a regular notice had been given. , i , The narrative was this reed by the Clerk.

He was still at a loss to conceive why, and how, it was produced; but sorry he was, from the mis chievous cooerepiences likely to reeitilt from it, that ever it had bees called fur by any member, produced by His Majesty's Ministers, or read in that (louse. Mr. You' thought the proper time for discuss iug thin point would have been, on the motion for referring the paper to the Committee.

He concluded by threatening Ministers with impeachment. The Caawcattoe of the Eitcsesome would be able to understand any motion of that kind better when it was made. He ridiculed the chimera of ill-consequenees and mischief that had been raised is the minds of the Gentlemen opposite. from the mode in which the paper in question hail been ob. tinned. There was no fault in it ; and there was a responsibility for every part of it. Lord Chatham was responsible for its tenor, and where was the constitution which prevented any man from adders. sing His Majesty. (Lord FOLK/TONY said, Me/ emild not get to His Majesty). If there was any thing criminal in the paper, the precentor was responsible. Is the present case, it had been called for by a Member of the Houle, and the }fosse had agreed to the motion (believing it to have been presented by the Secretary of State, was said acmes the table). It was his duty, as producing it to the House, to to responsible that it was a true copy of the paper dr , livered by His Majesty to Lord Liverpool. Could soy Gentleman say, there was any thing wrong tri Lewd Liverpool's receiving it from H. Majesty. I . There was, then, no difficulty in finding where the • responsibility lay. As for the threats and dean. taxation about impeachment. he did net thiuk the Mews of the Right Hon.
