This circumstance, the notion of which having been given some time back, might possibly have escaped their Lordships mewl, Delon; but, it was his determination to come forward with a notion to expunge it from the book.

Ordered. LORD VISCOUNT MELVILLE.. Mr. WHITBREAD then rose, and spoke to the following effect r—s 4 Whatever feelingsi may have felt, or whatever improper motives fir my past Parliamentary vandal may have been imputed to me on account of the part I have been led to take in the eensuring a great public cklinquent, I trust there is no one who doubts my having felt the greatest anxiety; but, be assured, Sir, that none of these past feelings of anxiety are to be compared with those which I experience upon the present occasion. But, after that internal struggle which every public man must experience in calling for justice to be done to. wards an individual, on behalf of his oflimded coun try, and, after the maturest consideration, I have come to the point of *Sion, which I consider it to be incumbent upon me now to take ; but not without having entertained some apprehensions and doubt as to the course which the House of Commons will and ought to pursue upon the present important occa sion. There is only one of two points for our con sideration ; the one is that which proceeds (torn the source of justice ; and the other is that of a mistaken clemency, which, if indulged upon the present occa sion, will, in my apprehension, prove to the detriment of this House, and eventually of the public at large. --If, Sir, in consequence of the Resolutions of this House of the Bth of April last, an humble Address had been forthwith presented to His Majesty, pray ing that Viscount Melville might bedismissedfrornhis offices, and employmentsheld under pleasure et the Crown, and from His Majesty's Councils and Pre sence for ever. I apprehend no dissentient voice would have been lifted up against such a Motion." Mr. PIT f here interrupted the Hon. Gentleman, and rose to speak to order. " I understood," said Mr. Pitt, " that the Hon. Gentleman had given no. tice of his intention to move, Wit the House would this day take into considOrition His Majesty's ewer so their Address. Now, Sir, upon this jet I have a communication to make to the Plia_nn i , which may probably anticipate.what the Has. UMW tleman has to say. I am, in the judgment dr l e House, whether the Hon. Gentleman will now .. low me to make this communication ?" Mr. WHITBREAD proceeded—" I intended, Sir, to conclude my speech with a motion that His Majesty's Answer tothe Address of this House should be taken into consideration ; but, at the same time, I apprehend that, whatever communication the Right Hon. Gentleman may have to make, will be rn r: properly brought forward aloe I shall have made my motion. I was stating, Sir, my apprehension, th.it if the resolution of this House of the Bth of April last had been followed op with an Address to His Majesty, praying that His Majesty would be graciously pleased to remove Viscount Melville from his presence and councils for ever I or, sup posing his Lordship had c..ntinued to ks, a Member of this House, if the motion had been for the espial. sion of the Right Honourable Henry Dundas, that there wo ul d have been no dissenting voice to any such motion; the emolMiem alluded to of Viscount Melviliris. bating bee guilty of a gross violation of the law aid of w duty, dcr.., were so shaped, ap ''ached to my. mil_ Mime 'sally to sea l& gm waimilpse wr duty; and, at the same them psi* the wettest; of the country.

Viscount Melville, it is true, resigned his office, as First Lord of the Admiralty, but his name has not been struck out of the Council Book ; and the Right Hon. Gent. op posite has not only told us that Viscount Melville's name has not been struck out of the book ; but that be saw no reason to advise His Majesty to erase such name. I trust, however, that this House and the public will now call upon him to offer that advice which circumstances so imperiously require. A Committee has, indeed, been instituted for the pur pose of inquiring into the abuses which have pre vailed in the department of the Treasurer of the Navy, whilst Viscount Melville held that office, and a civil process has been ordered to be instituted at the suit of His Majesty's Attorney.Gerieral..' against Viscount Melville and Mr. Trotter, and oar Gentleman has proposed, that this should be turned . We a criminal process. It appears, at any rate, Mill the vote of the House, and that vote founded mem the Report of the Naval Commissioners, that Viscount Melville has been guilty of a gross viola tion of his duty, and of the law; and yet no farther process than that already referred to has been *ssti. tuted. One Hon. and Learned Gentleman (Sir W: Grant), indeed, alleged, that Viscount Melvilleha s already been suf fi ciently punished, and has asked what farther- punishment would you wish to inflid ? I make no scruple to answer such assertions and in quiries, whilst I maintain, that Viscount Melville has so beet sufficiently punished. But 1 think I understand the Learned Gentleman's meaning. If humiliation and disgrace; if a voluntary degrada tion from office; if the relinquishment of a great employment under the Crown, and one which Vis count Melville thought himself capable of filling; if a broken heart and a contrite spirit be punishment, undoubtedly Viscount Melville must feel this punish ment in one sense, superior to any other which can be iniliEled upon him ; these " compunctious rea‘egs" are of a nature very different from say lesnishment which can be indidted.-- , —But A ass must not divert us from the execution of OW linty. It is incumbent upon this House to Islay care that others be not encouraged by the ex it...her this Noble Viscount's impunity; but that the; be warned against similar dehnquelocy, by the punishment which shall alight upon him. We should take care that no man in the situation of Viscount Melville should do what he has done, and subjet himself to similar humiliation.-- We should take care that whilst others amongst the lower ranks of society are suffering under the punishment to which the law consigns them, others in more exalted stations should hot be exempted. If a common clerk be de tefted in the a& of embezzling the property of his employers, the feelings be experiences ate at the same time accompanied with the loss of character, and of bread. He feels that, having thus degraded himself, his wife and children and connedions are all involved in suffering the bitter fruits of his mis eondnd. Juitice must have its vidim for the sake of example. I say then, in the case of minor de li:went:, that if Viscount Melville be not punished, they are cruelly treated ; I say in the name of the Representative body of the Empire, that there must be no connivance at the violation of the law ; in the name of the House of Commons, whose vote has already passed, I now call upon you to concur in the vote which I shall propose this evening. In former, and less favoured times, when disputes ran high between King and Parliament, and when it was necessary to lay down rules of proceeding, if in sod; unhappy periods it had been moved in the House that a great Public Officer had connived at the Violation of the law which he himself had propired. and of which the proof was incontrovertible ; if the question then were, whether that Officer should es cape unpunished ? surely in such a case there could have been no difference of sentiment. No House of Commons ever existed which would not have passed a vote of punishment upon such an offender. If then it shall be recorded in the page of history, that Viscount Melville was deteded by the Com missioners of Naval Enquiry of those offences laid to his charge; if it shall be proved that those of fences were gross violations of the law ; if it shall apoear in the sane fathful page that the House of C.immons had ordered a civil process fi r the etc e very of the public money ; w mid it not be passing strange if it also appeared that the same House of Commons had not pressed for punishment upon the delinquent ? What would the page of history say, if it should be found that the House of Commons, after all this, had stopped short in the punishment of such an offender ? that he still continued to enjoy the patronage of the Crown ? that he was supported by his colleagues in office ? and that no farther pro ceedings had taken place ? How could such a House of Commons stand justified to posterity is such a &rein/lion of its public duty? And if it were found also that the Commissioners of Naval Enquiry, who had deteßed the malversation of the Noble Viscount, were men of undoubted integrity ; that the thanks of the House had been voted to them for their condud, and that, by nn express vote, they had been continued in their office ; if it were found that the House of Commons were so divided on the question, that it had been decided solely by the Learned Gentleman in the Chair ; if found that, instead of a deka of proof, there was tempo,- km rem*. that Viscount Melville did not deny the malversations imputed to him ; and if, after all this, it should appear that nothing was done, what, I 844 a person in future times, reading the c ala d ld birorj per , say, ha if he n m o i gfarther induced proceedings to su we r e i,. d F s . proceedings itt h a t shouldtle r e h be d fo b ouf e enu t hed ic t House;lhaammt mor motions, u o o r t osi various boutuntotso t a k e , f gai door s o o ad r tr: petition., insteadractgal : s . i call measures 1 a l rn i s ioe.f t sf: ha amd r ad pos dre r H bad ouse co or me C f am ro foi folios*" op their own Resolutions with e11e.% it must said still more unaccountable, that no far ther proceedings should appear to have taken place I His hlajesty's present Ministers hay., been much in the habit of pluming themselves on their own indi vidual purity, and the impossibility of finding any Maws in their principles ; but, if it should be bound, that they made this pretended purity a cloak • _ . ~ j "•►~~ against convilted guilt; if, en the s Ist of tstny. -when the Shrift of Les an Address ; supposing His:Majesty b k th r lv which had not been done, I mesa Viscount Melvin from the list of Pr the Right Hon.

I trust, then, Sii, that the House of Commons will consider it right to address His Ma. jestsYs and that, before the Right Honourable Gen tlemarr opposite shall have made any communica tion, which might interpose between the justice of the House, and the duty they must perform. This is what is confidently required from, the public, re. spa; ing the Conduit of their Legislators. The Right Tlontouvable Gentleman must allow tp t pa, polar opinion to go along with the House in the ,present instance. "these can, indeed, be no doubt, 'when the person accuses' confesses himself guilty. If the tide of popular opinion be turned against Viscount Melville, there can be no wonder, whet the sentiments of the people are not in distinion with justice. It is, therefore, but strihh jostle)! th,:t I call udon the I louse to execute, and I can see no reason, why the proceedings of the House should be arrested, whatever steps the Right lion. Gentle man.and bis colleagues ;relay he induced to take ; of whatever renunciations Viscount Melville may now make. The diSereat measures that might be adopt. ed on the present occasion are impeachment, a cri. urinal prosecution, 'or removal from (Ace, and His Majesty's Councils, in virtue of an Address of the House. 'lli' lan (which was what he meant to propose) -was by far :the lightest punishment. I move, q.the first instance, 44 that His hlajesty's an swer to the Address, containing the Resolutions of this Hoak, be now taken into consideration ;" and shall afterwards move, h that an humble address be presented to His Majesty, praying that His Ma jesty will be pleased to remove Viscount Melville from all offices held under the Crown, during plea sure, and from His Majesty's Councils and presence for ever." Mr. PITT-4 4 The Order of the Day is, that this House will p-occed to consider His Majesty's Answer to their Address. I expeaed, therefore, that the Hon. Gentleman would merely have first moved the Message to be taken into consideration. I trust that if he had allowed me the opportunity, I should have had it in my power to satisfy him and the House, that any farther discussion on this sub. jet! had been rendered unnecessary. His Majesty Illes been advised to direft the name of Lord Viscount Melville to he struck out of the List of Privy CCMI• senors, and I am farther authorhed to inform the House, that His Majesty has given direCtions ac cordingly, and that it will take place on the first day when the Privy Council meets. I now state the reasons why I' did not feel it my duty to give this advice sooner. I put it to the recolluc-. Bon of the House, whether the circumstaacee were not these---A -motion having been formerly Made to take this very step..l mean to address His M. jetty to this effect I then did-net ewer halide discussion, but simply stated, that Viscount Ash vine had resigned his office of First Lord of the Admiralty, and that all prospeft of his returning to any place of power or consequence was at as end, unless the House varied its opinion. Many gentlemen, at the same time, expressed, that they were unwilling the House should proceed to a dirrct a idress to His Msjeste of the nature now proi.osed, not As ishing um ecess illy to wound the feelings of an individual. I understood also. ths , tut the other side of the House, it was not consi dered necessary that this proceeding should take place, and that it was even de.ired such a mo tion should not be made; and that it would be withdrawn accordingly ; and that a motion would be made for laying Hi, Majesty's answer bethre thr House, without any further comment. I did nut thin conceive it to be the sentiment of 'the House to propose the measure's being carried up to this pre cise objedt. I did not so understand it ; and, there fore, I did not a.t so far as to advise His Majesty to the step which his. since been taken. Valious allusions, indeed, have occurred in the course of former debates, to farther proceedings in this mat. ter, and suggestions as to what course of proceed ings would be best. I am convinced that the sentiments of many most respeflable persons, and particularly amongst those who were unfavourable to Viscount Melville, were against taking any far ther steps ; but, after all that has passed. I am now convinced of the rropriety of taking such a the.uure as that now proposed, as I AM certainly satished that if it were pressed, it would be the prevailing sense of the House that it should be adopted. I have ant wished to give the HOUW occa ion for unnecFssary discussion, and, therefore, I have thought is my duty to offer my advice to lis Majesty, who, . 11 consequence of that swie/ice, li. & .ordered the name of Viscount Melville to Ise e..:sesi from the list of Privy Counsellors. 1 chtainly feel the bitter pang in inflistliog the punishmert on the Noble person who has unfortnnately fallen under the displeasure of the House. [Alp. Pot,apresod himsrY :rah grra Jerk ag, and Ste rn a as ici apied.] But it is a feeli n g for which 1 am not ashamed, but am supported by the consciousness of having afied up to publieiltoys I whilst I am desirous of avoiding farther public dis cussion; sod which, I hope, will now be con adered unnecessary. On this Jake I have given, I am authorised to state, Hi. Majesty has resolved r' sfl, and I leave it, therefore, to the cons &ration of the I louse whether any further Jitctusion be nua • necessary." Mr. FOX —" I consider, Sir, that upon this oc casion the House has obtained a complete tiiumpr.
