Ile thought it necesiviry briefly to state the mu.idn upon which. his motion was iouncied. In Sept. IPO3, Sir R.

By his gallant exertious ou post, lie held back the eceisy's resources, and kept up the cominuuicatiou between our armies.

How had Lis legain eivislized its. when utticked by Va:tor , twilit. the command of Colonel Maine? I.e w willing to do justice to every - one. He could p r o. duce the letter of thanks which Sir Robert Wilson had received from Marshal 11?reafiaril for his coil duct clitriog his march to Madrid. within tea miles of which he advanced, after Boeing harassed end annoyed the enemy. On tht• esperied battle of Talsvera, Sir Robert Wilson task his ia.s . tion be tween the enemy sod allied armies, by tli..t means bearing flit brunt of the shock O'er *1;• hat tle, he thought . it necessary to oblige the French to move their position, which he, by the advice of Lord Wellington, effected upon the , 2lst of July. by making it appear to them. that a great part of the allied army was moving against them. This was, sorely, a very eervictable manteuvre; and in con tirinatiou of thi.• he had the documents of Lord Wellington, and of the French army. Had Lord Welliegtins coatinenceil his march (he would not say retreat) in she preseeee of the enemy. the con sequences would have been imonctivablv e items teals ; but so admirably did Sir Robert WilaGn act, thet the enemy did not perceive the tri , k, till the second day after the disappearance it Lord Wel lington with Isis wary. He had after* ards to free himself from the perplexity in which tht• lust move ment had involved him, and accomplished it with no less activity. valour, andsvigilance. In short. from his exeasons, be deserved the name of s‘ Fighter of the battle or Televeia." With all the other au thorities, us confirmation of the performance of threw heroic acineveutruts. be .had the authority of the enemy. Relnetant as they were to acknowledge tin ir defeat, •isrl strenuous as they were to counter act it, they here felt all the pain of inferiority. and expressed it. They here found that there was at least one officer, against whom it was necessary to rouse all their strength. to oppose ell thin' machi 'tenons ; but their power arid plans were ineffec tual. By the French account. it was easy to learn, whether the issue of • battle was victory or defeat. though the particulars might have been far from the truth. if their accounts of the battle were read. it would there lie mien that he was mark ed by the enemy, while he was defending the heights of Banos. as an object whom it was dan gerous not to destroy. He (Mr, Hutchinson) was convinced, that the House would not deny ap plause to a character so highly ili•tiogili•hed. If there was no prttedent for such a motion as he was about to make, it was n y to establish a pre cedent. Why were the thanks of that House given for the battles of Vinieirs. and of Talavera ? Were these battles undertaken for the sole pur pose of the downfall of our enemies ; for the establishment of peace, and strength; and se curity to Spain and Portugal? No; forty thou sand men could not accomplish such a vast object: they were sent for the purpose of afford ing an example. The chosen troops of Gnat Britain were sent forth to inculcate the lesson of one 11111 l ity and valour, and Sir Hobert IV i : s on was one of thee who were delegated to cxhilnt those bright characteristics. He chewed • prudence in him entire luet, which it would have been well If the Sp 'Ward* had imitated; and for hi. conduct he aas offi red • pension to a considerable amount by the Spanish and Portugneee Governments. Thai was reftea .1 by the gall,ot Officer, hut the refuel was the :east of Ins merits. He (tlr. Hutchnoton,) was %..Tly that two or three persons were not pre sent, who, he knew, would undertake the cause of Sir Itobert Wilson, with- greater ahility, though no t *ith w elter zeal; who kneir that by his oillant exertiwei Political had been saved.

If tin- House were to act ou their perso 'al feelings, they would. no doubt, vo.e honours to this mos devious officer ; enini , c the many difficulties that presented theiuselves to this course. It waa not one of the leost, that, at the tints the service was 'performed for which the thanks were given; th - ,.t officer was not in the klritish service. It was then when there wen boat o opinion as to the merits of the gall ti.t G. nem!, that the House would do well to declaro • that they would not depart from the mews tooted bite in granting their thanks. This was not the specica of service which had ever been an no ticed, and there were away instances of great ser vices, which, from their not coming under the de. scription which utioully called for Parliamentary h. , - noun.. were angered to pass without their inrerfe. rence. Among others he noticed Sir George Pre. Toot. and the former life of Sir R. Wilson himself, who had performed realises *entice with the tavalry in Flanders, which. though univervally acknow ledged. was not of that kind to. call for a vote from the House of Commons. He concluded by paying a ware tribute of applause to the merito r ious and brave officer in question. Sir J.
