This was a fair object fur them, and it was a nor olicet fur him to atop of the mask, which massed the form of impsiry. Mr. 1•V t v nu• n said, that, notwithstanding the apparent triumph of the Right Honourable Gentleman over them, he still wished the rtP11;Ali011 of the Howie to t..Lr place; ha - . came it was the arty of the House sod to wait 1:1 a ease like this, where It was a disgrace not to tarry the question, an it mire, by acelantatiou. (Peer!) They did not want iufuein atiow—tbey bad it—mid the only use the papers could he tif, eoeld he to aggravate the ease. I.ook at the mirorthie fa r:of the Expedite/11, at t h e waste of Mood and treasure would they wait fee mere formalities They cared not for precedents, for this or tirpt proreedisig. Where was there a case of such ungealitiet ratline? .such a tailor,', accompanied by such stroug pre.mtsptions never existed. An army Iraq marched from our shover to destruction.

Was it the fortune of was ?—Thin might do much as au excuse, where army met army in the field ; but litre there was uo hattle, uo chance of war, to mitigate the calamity. Was it the winds or weather I—The winds and weather had nothing to do with ships to a harbour, or with land ferret. No, oar misfortune cause from existing permanent causes, hich ought to bare been foreknown sod avoided. Our army was aent to perish in the pestilential atiouspliere of Zealaud, to expire, like a candle in • noisome vault. Could any olijcct oldie Expedition he eitewn which hail nut failed ? If they looked at the British object, that had failed, if at the fureigo ithject, that hail nut uoly failed, but it was imposeible that it should hare succeeded. The Noble Lord was therefore right in saying, they would not suffer themselves to be di vested by papers, when the matter fur consideration was so urgent. It wee the cmionun course, to produce papers Me medireely after they were promised, and not to keep the public in suspense, as in the present instance. They were not to look at the date of the Speech, but at the time Minis. tees bad ho prepare tie the meeting of Parliament. I f they were not active in recalling the Expedition, they ought to bate been active no getting ready the papers for the/ de- Game ; though the task, he must cunt se, was rather an 'm ph:L.4am one. It behoved them, as II principal duty, not to wait, earn till aluuday, but to skew, by their decision, this night, that they did not waist papers for their information.

His Majesty was advised, i u his tioswer to the City of London, to say that be did not think it expedient to institute inquiry into the &dare of the Expeditiou to IValcheren but when Isis Parliament met he it would lay the nece s sa r y :furisatiou before them ; but wheu Palletises* did meet, there win no motorisation ready fur them. It was the first time he had ever heard it said to a Howse of Commons, in the case of a great failure and ce lesta,, you meat wait the pleasure of hlioisters before you undertake inquiry.

He concluded by observiog, the people of the empire expected an inquiry, mud a minute nue, sad nothing less than an inveatigatiwn at the Bar of the House would satisfy them. This being their opinion, stared every Member in the face. The late meeting of the City of Lon don, amid that of a neighbouring county, were sulticeut to convince them of the sentiments of the inhabitants of the British empire. Mr. L. Fosrra coutended, that it would be highly im- Exprudent to being the General and Admiral employed mu the Expedition to the Bur of that House, without there was sonic proof of their guilt before them. Mr. GROS, ICNOR was of opinion that an inquiry should not be delayed for a moment, sod that it should be entered into ou the broadest scale. Sir Mann Purtt• it said, he was anxious for an inquiry, on account of theberviee he bad the honour to bear a com mission in—the Navy. He was fully aware of lite differences between that service and the Military, fur he might he then addressing three ur (tour hundred field-officers q but be felt confident, that ample justice would be done to both by the present Administration. Mr. ETA!: stated, he could not give his vote conscien tiously, until the documents were laid Wine the House. He agreed perfectly, with the last Honourable Gentleman who addressed the House, that the 'nestle of the present Administration were nut known. s (lleT1 Aear..) He COll. eluded by Saying, they had &feuded their coasts, and added to their secarity. Mr. HENRY SAI ITA was of opinion that the question would come much better under the consideration of the House on Monday next. Sir GEORGIC WA OMEN PER spoke in favour of the in. quiry ; and declared he wished fur the rem.ival of HIS Mu. yesty's present Ministers. Mr. Dents Mauves g cot/teed into an argument of great length, in support of the previous question. Sir E. H•axsv spoke agiuust the motion. Mr. WI L•Slit k ORCE rose, and said, from his long experi ence in Parliament, which was of thirty years existence, and from his knowledge of history, he conceived, that, w hen the pubic VOWc because strong, it was their duty to obey it. Mi nisters ought to come tur.artl, and declare their readiness fur inquiry, and not quibble about the moment that was most convenient to them. The Solicitor-General for Scotland, Mr. BOYLE, did not thiuk it was fair to press the question before the documents were submitted to the iuspeetiouof the House, and stated, that be had not iustroctions fruits kis constituents to cuisine the inquiry. Sir WILLIAM CVCTII mid he rose for the purpose of giving his /Meld to the motion of the Noble Lord, for lie felt au inquiry WAS due to the people; and his constitueota expected that he would wis his humble abilities to gala it for them, and they should not be disappointed.

This was a question mortify between the Minister and the people ; the Sovereign had nothing to do with it. There was nut a man in the empire, that did not know that a shameful calamity hail befallen the country, • nod, being aware of it, they asked, nay demanded an inquiry, and it would he abusing their understandings, to refuse it.
