Mr. ANGEl;O5ve . d ---- 0 - 1.111;u:;1 '' '''''' Thanks to the late Lord 'Mayor, for his uorrontiing attention and able dischar•ie of the duties of Ins Aire ; a lao t for the gtilerousleneridence evii.i:til br Inu), upon all occasoniN, toward s the widows mud orphans Of our brave soldiers. Moreover. for the easy access %Yawl' all uteiabers of tlie Court had to Inni s upon all ocensioos; a conduct, such as this, justified the words of the Lord Chief Huron of the E%chespier, tvpreseuttng him as good and up right Al apstratt. Air. JACKS ICCOlsilvd the motion. A Ali:tube r (show name we could not learn) re ;retied the liceessity under which he felt himself, of opposing this motion ; but he could not think of thanking a man, who had infringed upon the rights of his kilos-citizens. It was the undoubted pri vilege of the citizens to meet for the purpose of expressing their opinion upon the conduct of the Administration, and, in the exercise of this privilege, they had been olostructell by the late Lord Mayor. (Applauscs.) To one, who had been guilty of conduct imeli us this, he could not agree in giving a tote of thanks. Mr. Alder:lieu COHSE agreed, that it wcs the duty of every Magistrate to attend to the isupular rivileges, and give them his support ; but or the 1110110/1, upon the prevent occasion, wail particularly guarded, and inntaiued front einnueritting that claim to tut to, among the other good qualities of the late Loris :11.a or, he thought ha could with propre ty Ins support to the motion. Ile was willing to allow him every honour he could demand, upon the eruuiol of his piety awl humanity. Mr. WAITIIXAN regretted, as well aa Ins worthy friend, the necessity of opposing the present mo tion. If such a motion could be acquiesced upon the ground Of personal civility, there was not, perhaps, a Member in that Court, who would be more willing to acquiesce than himself ; but such a ground would not justify the ' , Airport or i!ucli motion. He l'iad a public duty to perform, and he should perform it. There was an act in the his of the late Lord Mayor's official career that perhaps had no perallel. What Sir Brook Watson had done was nothing in comparison; his conduct originated in party feeling, and was in some Inca- sure excused by it; but the conductor the late Lord Mayor was in direct hostility with the feeling of the whole country ; it went to present them' from ex pressing their chwipprotration of the unfortunate Convention of Omni. That too was the second time of his tiering refrosed.toconverie them for great national purpose.. It was impossible, lie said, to look at the great metropolis over which he was ' placed—it was impossible to look at the chair, ' and consider its vitriol", its important duties, without perceiving that he was runt a Mall to fill it either with dignity or propriety ; his con duct he could nut avoid cnnsideriaig as most din. graceful, as proceeding either from art ignorance of his duty, or an unwillingness to discharge it ; he had refused to coil a Livery or the City of London, whets not a Sherdi under the influence of the , Clown refused to call the different counties fur the purpnae of addressing Ilia Majesty upon an occasion of such diaappointinente--(App/auseo. With respect to the hie/tin/We entertainment, so far front allowing him (the Lord Mayor) any merit for that act, he toirsidered it as a great insult to the Court. When that Court had expressed its unwillingness to feast, either at the expense of die City, or at the Terminal expense of each indivi dual fur himself, wail it out as insult to invite the members? and when the Lord Mayor had declared, .upon his honour, that he would give them nothing else but cold beef, yet afterwerds exceeded that homely fare, did it not plainly indicate an intention of buying their vote of thanks?—(llere there were lead cries If No.' its!)—Gentlemen might cry no, no, if they pleased, but he could see no other mo tive for s sumptuous eotertaiiitnent upon the Deco- Mon. If he had supported the rights of his fellow.. citisens, he would never have been honoured with a Baronetcy— '.4pp(aeser)-11 the intuition of first Magistrate did nut require a profundity of learning, at all events it required common sense ; and he • wauld leave it to the Court to determine how far that essential ingredient was manifested by the lute Lord Mayor. But there was another resew for refusing lieu the thanks, besides those already stat ed; they had refused th e th an k s t o t h e f ormer Lord Ar, ayor, and, if they were to grant them to the present, would prove themselves guilty of the greatest injustice to him. Mr. SAUCE,. DIXtIN Raid, that the proper way of noticing the objections of the Gentleman npie site. would lie to cull fist the filleSlloll and treat all his oleserveti (((( s with the silence of cnntemio. He censured much the iiidulgence of the Gentleemni in words that cut deeper then the sound or Ilse knife; with respect to the refusal of thoughs to the former Lord Mayor. it was entirely upon a different 'account, and cool.' not possibly call for the refusal in the pree•nt instance. If the late Lord Mayor had offended the Livery of Lon don, to the Livery he wen accomituble. Mr. JACKS did not expect that there could have been any objection, after the very guarded manner in whirls the motion was worded. If there was rue disorder in the Court. the Gentleman eho now yen snred WAR the priucipal emigre of it. %1 nh respect to the dinner, it was not tile sumptuous entertain ment that hod been represented to them. Ile' &meted, that this Court had nothing to do with the reimiuct of the Lord Mayor towards the Common flail. Mr. Illswmen called upon the Cpurt to reflect upon the pliaislanient which the late Lord Mayor bad received for this act, which was is much tom. plained of. They should retnernlier, that h► was placed in a Situation, in wliich justice sethied to require that no wan should lie placed, that of 1 . inflicti n g punishment on himself ; besides, they should recollect, that the conduct was never re peated again ;Nu that there was rept-titauce, us well as punishment, calling for their lenity , The question bring then put, wdi curried with some dissei.tient voices. A Memorial front the Grand Jury of Southwark, 1 was referred to a Committee of General Purposes. EXPEDITION 'PO THE SCHELDT. l'he requisition being read, Mr. WAITIIMAN rose. fie said triat he had the honour of calling the attention of the Court to a matter of green.; importance. Indeed, it appeuied that every succeeding occasion of their meeting v.as wore importatit than the foregoing. Soeli :Is the serious crisis to which the country had armed.— The present occasion was, perhaps, the moat. im portant upon which they, or any other assembly, had ever met. The question was, perhaps, the greatest that lied been agitated in any Court. If they had not the privilege of approaching the Throne to state their free opinions upon such cala maims events us they had witueesed, or It; 'Wring it, they did not exercise it, under such circum stances us the present, from that moineut they might date the downfall of 'he Constitution. (Ap pious(%) The question before them embraced so many points, it afforded so vast a variety of circum stance and principle, that no human exertion could possibly do it justice. Though therefore he might be under the necessity of occupying more of their time than would be either couvenient to them, or agreel'ile to himself, still, he apprehended, the view tunst be superficial, so wide and general was the field upon which his observation was to be exercised. 'I hey bad of late experienced four of the greatest failures that ever disgraced the country, aud the lass of four of the grentest armies that ever left her shores ; yet no consideration had tuiceit place ; tin address had been voted, e xc e pt upon the famous Convention of Cintra, the reception of which was probably prevent to their recollections (App/atirAs). Ile should not undertake even • short recapitula tion of our failures, it would occupy too much time. It *peered from the statements of the public prints, that within a few years, no less than fourteen expeditions had taken piece; he believed that they exceeded that oumbfr, and amounted to about twenty ; but even upon the former calcula tion, how rutlanchely 11(41 it to oheeree, that out of all, there should have been tut one successful, and that tine the very expedition that least deserved it, that ought not to have allVeettled.—lle alluded to the expedition to CopeehaFen. (Applausev). Out of all there disasters, that Court had only gout. up with ant nub frees, and the reception they met upon that occasion v as to he accounted fur by the neglect into which they bad permitted that privi le;4e to sink ; it was so ueeeereised that it heroine even iptettiolialde applentsev). it was probalq in their recollectiou, that on the calamitous failure at the fielder, an address was moved ; but the Court came to an unaccountable resoiation, that nut address would hues been a persoual insult to His Majesty; his address upon the Convention of Con tra had been regarded as an insult ; but when be folioed it, conscious of the delicate rituation in which he was placed, and of the necessity of gusted ino against churges of jacebinism, &c. he had looked bock to the affair of Minorca, as a precedent ; the prayer of hinsiiddress was not only constructed upon the same plan, but composed iu the state words of the address upon that occasion ; and yet those iden tical words were the very ones selected by His Ma jesty's advisers for disapprobation and reprimand— /ape/miser). To chew how differently our anima aura thought, and the Government of their days acted, he would refer them to the address voted in the year ,en, from which he hied copied the now ob jectionable part of his motion. At that tune a gra cheis answer was returned ; and, what was remark able, His Majesty, in noticing that address to his Parliament, observed, that the complaints of his subjects proved to him how deeply they were inter ested fur, and bow nicely they considered his ho hoar, and what satisfaction he felt for such interest and consideration; end yet they who, upon a late occasional, addressed His Majesty, in precisely the same words,, were told, that the interposition of the City of London was not necessary to induce His liliejesty to institute an investigation upon a sub ject which bad disappointed the hopes and expec tations of the country. lie would allow that they might have no great skill in military affairs, but them were other consider:lthaca involved with that Convention. to which they were perfectly comity tent, aiel upon which it era only just that their opinions should have an influence; it appeared to ohin.l . a 7, nd must appear to them all, that when an ariey 000 was landed in t a t country, it was an indis cretion, without proVisimus or other preparations, to push oft ; it chewed that the person who .thus pushed on, was very desirous of glory, with out considering whether, in the pursuit of it, he stood justified in the eyes of prudence and of the nation. (Applause:./ They were tuld that an inquiry did take place, and the nature of that 'inquiry was said to resemble a grand jury, which he would beg leave to deny ; on the contrary, it differed from it, and differed in this essential point, that • grand jury is intended for the protection of innocence. but tin{ was instituted for the protrc tiou of guilt. (Applinists.) 11 1 1mn the business was brought before Perfumes*. before those who are called the Representatives Or the People, they re fused to enter into it, and not only del thaw re fuse to eater into it, but appoint the very persons to conduct another expedition, fraught with further expense and farther calamity. (Applauses.) The only pretence that comsid be offered fur this was, that another army was wanting to co-operate in Spain ; but it should be recollected, that this was after the expedition under Sir John Moore, who was misled by the Ministry, and brought by them into a situatino, against his better judgment, from which lie could only extricate his troops by the sacrifice of his own life. Could they rotifer the loss of this officer, the lose of specie, the liras of soldiers, of all that this disastrous match had brought upon the country, mid yet not go up to His Majesty? There was ;midterms inquiry into the Convention of Cintra, nor into the disgraceful fatal affair of Ge neral Moore; it seemed as if the not" had lost its sense of shame ; not only had it neglected to in- quire, bet the very same men who had plunged it in this disgrace, were perisitted to equip another ar- .. ~ :• • try, while the besotted looked on r.:1; out to. terposing its supplicutions, address« a, and 'tattoo stratices, against vu rawfol a caleuritj —lopp/wi ses ). --eltwas, he ,coueeived, the part of hi wore Gum rid in .weigh eircurnstatices ; courage vas a great irpouitty in the composition of such n character; batt‘o could tor help thistkinitit Inferior arid sub.. ordinate; the ( oininntiest wan as ihe tanks lend pro bably as wrath couta4e as the most disiingoished talker ; the superiority consisted in knowledge and pi udence ; in that cool sagaciouo view, which saw where it would be of use to risk the lives of brave men, and where it would he a disgrace (applutcses). How fur this distinction was 'perked, said this gape rinrity - proved. in the ipstatice of Sir Ar thur el - lesle, now Lord Wellington), he left to them selves, and the history of the transaction, to deride. Immediately alter that event, which he c.,lled a vic tory, he was under a necessity of retreat; a retreat conducted, not wi t h the ~k;11. the circumspection; the prudence, and tali e •s (•I General Moore ; but, even according to li's oat( ..( coma, precipitate and disastrous. It was slog mai - Wile to ohs. rve, that throe was ii Meg account (row Lord Welliiigtori, and a long letter from Lord Chatham, printed in the same Gazette. It appear ed from his Lordship's own Rcemibt, that he *us in danger, and had left the post of H ~,,,, ur to die Spauierds; 'halite was under the nectssity of adopt ing a quick morrow-et—a thing whin h, when ascribed to the enemy, MOM a precipitate retreat; but when applied to ourselves, means only a ju dicious celerity.—(Applatisrel. Such, was the (1.-- count of Lord Wellnigton Inuiselr. He appealed to that account, whether all he stated etas not fact. Su great was the celerity of his Lordship, that thou s:yids of sick and anuuded well were left behind ; and yet, so fir from tut inquiry being itistiruted, the country was Unsuited by the rent of a title, for ell action which coutributed nothing to the glory or *r. twity of the nation! (Applauxet.) There wet, Marty circunistantes which he was obliged to over look, because other mutters, :nom iinportant, pressed upon Lim, to which lie 'felt himself obliged to call the attention of the Court. They 'acre now come to the 31st of July, at which time the vast arma ment from this conntry landed at Walcheren.— This aas a greater army than had ever been sent from this country; if it had any rational object is view, it delayed five or six weeks, until the oppor tunity of effecting that object hid gone ;it would be right to give the Coutt a untion of this army; the best way was to look at the gross facts, which would aid their conceptions, and give them sufficient strengths If it bud any rational' ob ject in view, it was to create a diversioit in !mewlr of our allies ; yet the armament did not get into the Scheldt until the 31st of July, and pence tied been signed between France and Austria oil the 12th of the same mouth. But, with respect to the armament itself, which probahly the Hon. Baronet (Sir W. Curtis) would describe more. accurately by-and-by (a larigA). there were 43 men of war, and 15(ii armed ships, in all; besides the transports, and about one lintirlred thousand men. lie could give them,. description of every branch of ord nance, bill it was perhaps sufficieut to say; that that expedition must, at some time or other, cost the country about eight millions, and the loss of six thousand men, not including the sick wounded. Thirty-eight thousand mesa Irides' with Lord Chatham, or, if they took the account of an j officer, who had g üblislied a livid; 18 1 )01) the suhjecr,, fort)-eight thousand. It would naturally be ex ' vector', that, before to vast an allotment wits sent out, some definite ofiiect most have beets to the contemplatiou of Ministeri ; that object must have been of sufficient magnitude; and the most cor rect information been obtained with srepect to the state of the country, its Airtificatioile, •Ize. He could give what he had heard, upon no slight authority, win the informatiou of the Govern went; on the festli July, it appeared filiat there were only Ore, hundred invalids, besides the aoth Regiment hoot Spain, which Was mostly composed of wounded men, to the garrison of Antwerp ; so that that which appeared impregnable to Lord Chat ham, was guarded principally by insalids. Three thulium' eight hundred men were all the forces occupying Walcheren, and other places. They should bear in mind that it was nut until fourteen days after their arrival, that Flushicg surrendered, and that surrender was owing mostly to the exer tions of the fleet.--(Applowses.)—Not above five thousand soldiers of this immense army could be employed on this occasion, r.t which the fi le t as sisted; so that if the surrender of Flushing was the ob ject, 3,000 men were sufficient for that purpose.— After this surrender, Lord Chatham stood still for another fortnight, after which he came to a conclusion, that Antwerp, and all other were so well fortified, as to render all limber ~ forts utiadvisable. It was quite evident, from the dispatches, that there was a difference of opinion( 'between the mtlitary and naval costimenders, wtutu the particulars of which the public was not made , acquainted. It wn. th.,t there was a find account Ltivert in 7'!:. Genesee, of the dispatches of Sir A. Wellesh y and Lord Chatham, while there appeared but a short extract from that of Sir Rich , and Strachan. (Here he went into the particulars eef Sir Richard Straehan's dispatch, from which he concluded,that he was derid.lig the Commatider-in- Cbief.) A tier stating that Lard Chatham had giieit 'bp the notion of proceeding ausinst Antwerp, lie (Sir R. 5.) had, in the most uileonivocal mariner, offer ed the co-operation of the fleet for that In tlwse. Could there be it greater coodemmition than this ±. l Could any honourable nom r st tinder such an im putation i-If he forbore to call for all inquiry, af ter such* circumstance, it was wonderful of *halt stuff the Counnandin-in-Chief collie' he unadei— (Applairser.) But it might be said, that Lord Chatham was deterriat by the D umb er , s h e h a d collected there since his. arrival; even taking his Lordship's own description, there were about thirty-five thousand men occupying the different places ; so that while the priocipal force of the French was employed iu another quarter, by the lioiperor, there was a formidable number of ship carpenters, invalids and tax gatherers, to resist out army in Woolcheren. With all this pompons enu merstinn, he wets sure that there woe not above eight thousand effective men; hat even if there were thirty-lire thousand men. shillala it be said that • they were sufficient to terrify the vast•annameut brought against them?
