That at the expense of much personal obloquy, of many private insinuations, and some public artacks, they have ;wistul those in vestigations which they undertink to conduct, and whose results they now communicate to their constituents. If in the progress of their inquiries they found many motives for censure, if instances have presented themselves of ill-plseed confi dence, of ignorance, of want of zeal or of probity, the Committee rather wish to presint facts to the Bondholders, than to qualify such conduct by any terms of their own. But they trust the errors of individual advocates will net attach to the great and glorious cause of Grecian freedom. It would in deed be cruel, and no less cruel than unjust. if those who are light ing the battles of independence should suffer from misconduct to which they are entire strangers. Whilst engeged in these investi gations, your Committee find that the Greek Government has itself nominated a commission, specially charged with the examination of all the matters which form the subject of this Report. That commission will, no doubt, possess the means of conduct. ing the inquiry fir more satisfactorily ; it will, as your Committee trust, obtain access to every document aid to every source of infer- In reply in the inquiries made by Tone Committee u to the au thority by which the too sums of 79,274 advinted by Mows.

Your Committee now proceed to two most important items of the e e•si rit of the second loan. which have swallowed up more than o to-tli d of i 4 net proceeds ; for objects whose accemplialunent seems even ho h remote and uncertain. A sum of 160.71 . 111. has been already . expended in building and lee taring two 0i gun frigates inihe Untied Mates; and it appears by the cerreepondence, that a Eton not less than 50,e001. more will be requind to tit them for sea. The Committee cannot understand the motives which induced N e Greek Ileputirs to despatch from England a French military ofhic r a i li instructions se vague and general as would authorise so lucre an expenditure, especially as it appears there would have been no difficulty in purchaeing and derenehing front the ports of Europe vessels ready built and obtainable at a moderate price: and the ice:ructions of the Greek Government appear to have especially oirected the purchase of vessel+ reedy for sea. Your Committee have aseerteined that many offers of warlike yeesels were really m tile to the I)uptitiea, but always rejected by then, Your Committee have to report. that it appears there is now some pronpect that one of the frigate, will be despatched by making the complete ail ridze of the other ; net they have felt that considerable doubt touches even to this forlorn hope, ood they determined to co eetareeritt that an .Imeriean gentleman, who, her two years. hen Ito erourably served in the Greek navy, aed who kindly offered to pro ceed to the United :Rites in order to facilitate the departure of the itiosere. lined lee timpotched-wiekonoelekne e btu pour Cniu-nalle , tee !Met . ...-eteC that their eseommendatioa was thwarted by indis ;O:Osoon on the part of Mr. burnt tie to advance tae sum of 15W., ohlch was required to cover the expo--tea of a mission which they coed not but torenuourly recommend. 'flue hmulholder% are aware, for great notoriety has been given to threcircumso rice, that a large sum was set aside front the second loan, to promote a naval expedition, which was to be commantletl by an Moor:nue chieftain, whose services could not but be all-im pormrt to the success of the Greek cause- The amount so appro priated was Itill,oool. which was transferred to the names of three gentlemen well kriown to the public, who undertook for its dee application to the proposal purpose. Tne engineer who wan employed at the instancs of the noble in dividual referred to, certainly failed altogether ii completing the contract according to the stipulated terms. It does not appear to year committee that this failure is to be attributed to dishonesty or treachery, but to a want of appropriate knowledge and expe rience. To the furtherance of the most important object of this expedi tion your Committee have directed their earliest and most constant attention ; and it is with much sorrow they report, that they arc unable to communicate any informatiei satisfactory to themselves, or which would he deemed satisfactory to the bondholders. They abstain from entering into many detail+, solely from the appyffien. ei m that present disclosures might possibly frustffite an enterprise, which they deem not only greatly important to Greece, but one on which the very salvation of Greece depends ; and while the menace hinge over your llituimii tee that premature discussion will Merit ably interfere with an object of such overwhelming interest, they trust their constituents will reepect the caution with which they I narrate their proceedings on this head. But your Committee have deemed the object one of such primary anti imposing urgency, that they have nnught and obtaieed the co-operaiion of the Conireitteee of France and Soitocriend, who, with a confidence and a liberali•y in which your Committee must offer a deserved homage, have planed at time disposal of their Chairman. Colonel Smnhope, the sum of 0.0001. fur the furtherance of this ohject, and holes are en tertained that Loge sums might be ebteined, were a sufficient con trol established. Your Committee carnnt avoid this opportunity of expressing their gratitude tla the cordial co-operation end the Important assis. tense rendered them by the Duke Dalberg, a distinguished member of the Paris Greek Cominittee.

Your f'ornmittee bete ascertained that a sum of about 20.000 L remain% in Messrs.

Among the difiteulties which ynut Committee have had to en counter, the hostile feelings twisting between the different genle. men with whom they have hail intercou-se have been a 'Atone of considerable embarracoment. Your Coneuretee endeavoured to bring about it cordial understanding. in furthering the objects of their Me ()miry, between the late leeputies of Greece, but unfortunately they have wholly felled in the attempt.

The next letter he should read was dated a fee days after. and was addremed to the Greek Depuies by Mr. Hub!louse, and dated on the 29th of Meer : " 314 29. " Gentlemen,—l beg to inform you, that on Saturday last Mr. Ellice and myself had a meeting with Mr. Ricardo. at which meet ing it was determined to apprize Lord Cochrane. that neither time nor the funds in Mr. Iticardo's hands would permit of the three smeller vessels being completed: consequently, on the same evening, I wrote to Lord Cochrane to that effect. " Veatchlay (Sunday) I went to Deptford to ineneet the steam boats myself. accompanied by two officers of the navy. he remit of our inspection was. that, with proper attention to the work, the two larger steam-boats might be at sea in a month, but that it would be necessary to abandon all hopes fer the present of clerking upon the three smaller Vessels. " Having formed this opinion, we shall proceed immediately to give the requisite order.. " We shall desire Mr. Galloway to work only on one steam-boat at a time. " We shall send an officer and an Inspector of machinery to re side either at or near the dock-yard, and to report to us daily the proven of the work. " We shall have great pleasure in communicating these reports to you, whenever you require to know them. "Very truly. yours, (Signed) " J. C. 1103110 USE. " To the Greek Deputies. &c.Sackville-streee" This letter proved that those were the gentlemen who undertook to getout the vessels, and not tee Greek Deputies ; and it also proved that the Committee of Inquiry was of tome use, inasmuch as their exertions hail tended to exonerate the Deputies; from the ones which was unjustly thrown upon them. (Hear, hear.) The Com mittee had also apparently been of use in another point of view. They were appointed on the 4th of September, and since then they informed were that the small vessels would be ready for sea in the epees of a month. (Hear, hear.) The whole of the evil which had seemed to the Bondholders appeared to have arisen from having ted persons tosuperintend the undertaking, who were totally for the purpose. It was not because .gentleman was a of Parliament, or or , thelhock Exchange, that he should beconsequently qualided few thesupervision of such matters. Sir Fraecis Burdett and Mr. Hothouse ehmtlii not have accepted such a trust, when they were going, the one to the country, and the other to the Coronation at Moscow. (Cheers.l Great censure hat been thrown upon Mr. Ricardo also, but he thought that nu blame was attributable to him except for undo teeing that of which he knew nothing. Two days after the Committee was appointed, a letter was addressed from Mr. Ricardo to the Morning Chronicle, in which he miens, that whatever was pledged by . his house to be *lSt was performed, and that it was six months. since he had ren dered back his accounts. This letter could not have been Written W Mr. Ricardo. as appears by the following letter, dated a fort- Mght previously : " To Messrs. J. and S. Rica-do. " August 21, 1326. " Gentlemen,—We beg to acknowledge the tecene of your letter of the 12th instant, enclosing an account of different sums you leave paid from April last to the present time. We have looked at the items composing the account, and are astonishe I to perceive that you have made payments to Mr. Galloway, in addition to what he had previously received, to the amount of 7,4001. How these or the other large payments you have taken upon yourselves to make can in any manner be justified we know not. We certainly cannot senator) them, but, on the contrary, we feel it to be our duty to pro test against the manner in which you have applied the monies, which in the month of August last we requested you to set apart for the completion of the arrangement made with Lard Cochrane. You must bear in mind (what we have often personally complained of) that without our authority, and witheet any previous commune. ranee to us whatever, this arrangement was suddenly and entirely elhanged by your giving orders for building five steam.veseels, and preparing the neceitatry machinery, instead of purchasing easels ready for sea. lied we been consulted on an material a departure from the original intention of all parties. we should have opposed it, on the ground of the delay to which it might lead. So tout' as we were informed of the orders you had given, we did object ; to thim„ and though you had paid 2,09 W. or 3,0110/. we expressed our anxious desire tnat the orders should be reeeieded. use assured us, however, that the whale of the flotilla should he completely ready withiu three months at flutliest, and we, relying upon your assurance, anti upon fie responsibility you had contracted by giving the orders, did not further object to their being carried into exe cution. What has been the result ? These your orders not only remain incomplete a: the present day, but as yei nut even one of the I five vessels is ready for eea. " All our remonstrances as to the delay have been in vain. In our anxiety and distress we have applied to those gentlemen through whom the arrangement with bond Cochrane was effected, conceiv ing that they would exert their iimilaence to have it carried into exe cution. Week after week, during a period of six months, did we renew our application chimer to them or tp you, and were as constantly given to understand., that in the succeeding week, or a fortnight, one vessel at least would sail for Greece, and that the rest would quickly follow. We have earamdy and repeatedly desired that the works should be taken Crum Mr. Galloway,and placed is the hands of some competem engineers. We pointed out the necessity of selling the three smaller vessels, and buying others with die proceeds, but the ex pression of our eentiments woof no availeind all oult wishes have been frustrated. We have been treated throughout as if we had no interest 'or any right to interfere in the stair, and the mosey which we in f.' thorized you to set apart for the accomplishment of this important object, you haeedispesed of, wee merelyeritheatopplyiagema-stesse the subject, but iii opposition to our declared sentitneets. To you therefore, gentlemen, the responsibility attaches, and by you it must be home. We will not give our sanction to the monies you have au Improvidently,and, as we consider,so improperly expended. You C. 171. not have believed—it is inipossible for any one to believe—that the delay on the part of Mr. Galloway has been unintentional. Whether it had its origin in his einploymeat for our great enemy the Pasha of Egypt (an employment, by e the-by, which was fully knowu when you gave him the order), or in any other cause, or whether any other patties have been desirous of delay, we have not the means of de. tiding ; but that the procrastination ha. been the result of design we cannot doubt. With infinite surprise and regret we learn that. 011 the trial of the Enterprise, last Wednesday, the boiler burst ; sad that, men trying the Irresistible, on Thursday, the machinery wholly failed ; and it is reported that it is totally uncertain when either of the vessels will be in a fit state to put to sea. We trust that these most mot tifying circumstances may . not have proceeded from the same design. We have also been informed that it was your express wish that the vessels should put to sea with their sails alone, but to this we can scarcely attach credit. " You express your surprise that we should require from you a particular account of each vessel, having, as you state, so repeatedly explained to us how and by whom the art. agements were made re lative to the building Mille steam-boats. To whom are we to ph if not to you ? and how are we to obtain the accounts which it . our duty, as well as our wish, to furnish to the Greek Govern. meat ? We merely notice the last paragraph in your letter, fair the purpose of informing you, that me claim as a right, and not as an act of cour.esy, a full explanation from you of all the monies alleged to have been paid out of the funds which were left in your hands by our au'hority. Whe ther we are any longer authorized to act as Deputies of the Provision ml Government of Greece or not, it will he necee sary for us to tender an account of the proceeds of the loan we negotiated, and fur this purpose we shall require to he furnished with every account respecting it. flow much of the monies you have expended without our authority you will be entitled to con sider as paid, on the accoute of our Government, or of ourselves. will be matter for future deliberation tied discussion. At present we must content ourselves with repeating our request for the sepa rate and detailed accounts of each vessel.—We are. &e. iSignetl only by) " AND. LURIOTTIS." With respect to one pert of the letter, he felt bound to say, that there was not even a shadow of ground for such an imputation ameast Mr. Galloway. It appeared from these letters, that the Deputies were perfectly alive to what was going forward, and had exerted themselves to the utmost. The blame etemed to be fairly attributable to Sir Francis Burdett, Mr. liobhome, dlr. Ellice, and Mr. Ricardo. Nothing could be more absurd than the idea that Lord Cochrane would return because lie had been disappointed in the steam-bodts ; and he believed that it was equally absurd tossup. pose that he could have been the author of the deities; but time, however, would set that part at rest. Every obstacle had been given to the Committee in their attempts to elicit truth. One instance he would mention. because the person was present to whom it re. feared. That person was Mr. Spagniolacki, who would, it was fair to suppose, lend himself to the inquiry. Mr. Spegniolecki met the Committee for the purpose of giving them information, but in fact he never gave them any. Ile assisted the inquiry as long as it re lated to the sums spent by the former Deputies, Messrs. Orlando and Lurked.; but when it was attempted to inquire into his own accounts he turned round upon them, and refused to recognise the Committee. By refasing to recognise the Committee, lot refueled to recoentiee time Bondholders who had advanced to his country the sum of 2.800,00ee, and shut the door against their obtaining the infer melon which they sought. (Cheers.) This was a painful truth, but It was right that it should be known. The authorities in Greece were wholly ignorant of what hatl been going forward here fur the last seven months, relative to these steams-boats. That they were so was evident from the fact that another Committee had been appointed by them, consistieg of dlr. Spagniolacke Sir Francis Berdett, and dir. Ricardo t—and tor oft:at ?—to ex amine into their own accounts. (Cheers.) Nothing could exceed the absurdity of sending a cavalry officer out to Atnerica. for the purpose of fitting out frigates, unless indeed a sailor had been deepatched for the purpose of raising a troop of dragoons. (A laugh.) Although there had beet a difference of opinion in the Committee. at to the propriety of publishing what had come to their knowletlge, there was none whatever as to fixing upon • proper line of conduct to be pursued. He should conclude by ex pretang hit regret that there *as not Upon the table a suflicient de gree of information upon which to act, believing as he did that a resoludoe passed by the Bondholders would have more effect than any other measure whatsoever. (Applause.) Mr. MERLE entreated the indulgence of the meeting while he addeessed to them a few observittioes relativeto a country In which be felt, as a citizen of the world, the deepest Interest, which was not lessened by being a holder of its bonds. They had hand the eloquent defence of the Greek Deputies which had just been closed, but he thought, if stripped of its eloquence, the speech of the Menthe Bondhohlee ;mild riot induce the Meednig to acquit tbein. •- . • 1 For his own put, be felt it itni oaible to do so. 'They had hotel del scribed as men of wealth, and influence, and honour, in their own country, and yet we found then' dabbling in the Stock lisciamme and (ohm matters, inconsistent with their efunaeter• as Hemlines I after which they came into that neon, and claimed the character of honourable men. lie did not altogether acquit M. Hotiliourof not Sit Francis Burdett. but lie let heved that Mr. Gallaway was em ployed M the tecontmendation of Loral Cochrane; and was there any man in that room who would not willingly employ amen red ceiving a recommendation from such a quarter ? (Cheers.) 111 acqui t ted Lord Cochrane of being the intentional cause of the del lips. Ile thought it poasEile that his Uquiship might err in judge melt, but every one must accent, to him the mead of integrity. That Mr. Galloway had been the occislon of bringi ng Greene td its present deplorable situation he ass not prepared to deny ; but he acquitted Sir Francis Bdrdett anti Mr. Holehouse M any partieepee hoe in the matter. Of late it had become the bullion to adult:mime the Greek Committee, but it should be knona that they had °brae ales to contend with which *ere calculated to occasion the &Ile complained of. Sometimes it happened that the Deputies were of one teettion while the Committee were of another. Propositions bud been smote by the Greek Corned:tee, which, had they been agreed to by the Deputies, would, in his opinion, hare placed Greece t I. timphant over her operators instead of bete g in the deplorable s tuation to which she was now reduced. If it could be shoed that the Greek Committee sat for ihltrested motives, that would he one reason for censuring them as inefficient and unjust. There wee a (heck Committee in Paris. AM another io Geneve. In the former city nearly Neat!. had been collected in aid of the Greek cease, and it was a libel upon theui to say that the London Committee had misconducted themselves, for, if such had beeq the case, the honourable men composing the Parisian Committ would not have co-operated with them. It had been aid that a certain portion of the loan had been appropriated to Mr. Hume, but that the bonds had nut been taken up by him, and had been cons.. quently sold i 9 the market at a loss. He wished to know if this was the fact. He also wished ti know whether an offer of Brinell muskets had not been made to arid rejected by the Ore , k Deputiee, ow:ng to the pr.judice which they stud existed amongst the Greeks, in favour of the Albanian guns. lie also understood that a propo sition had been made to provide them a Ith cannon, which had bean either rejected or received with aloha., and had consequently newer been carried into execution. Ile had seen ins recent German paper an account of an action, in which a large Turkish force had been kept in check by the terror caused by a small two or three pounder; and if such were the case, what might not have been expected if the Greeks had been well supplied with canna ? TheChawman, who had been in Greece, and who had suffered more privations than generally fell to one men's share, had been a wilder , of the obed. nary and of the prejudices of the Greeks. lie, however, entertained no doubt but that they would still eo justice to the Bondholders, and right to thateselees. He wished to know what was the present Government of Greece, who wet: the parties composing it, or was it of a representative drsertie ion ? If the Greek Government was of an ephemeral description, if there was no actual lien upon the honour of ktoan individuals to repay, it would be very unjust to 'ask the Bandied:tent for further sacrifices? (Cheers.) As a citirere of the world he had addressed them, and as such he felt delighted het the cause of independence was making a rapid much, and he hoped that it would continue its progrees until they should hereafter meet in that room to celebrate its success throughout all Europe, nay, throughout ell the world. (Cheers). Mr. Bow rat ea said that it was true that Mr. Robertson differed from the other Members of the Committee, though, for his own pat the could say that he was never opposed to publicity, con. ceiving, as he did, that it was the great safeguaid against the adopt titan of measures which might not be either right or wise. If, however, a case was made out to show that in order to use the means you lowa sacrifice the end, in that carte be should consider that an exception was made out ageinit the gamed rule, however good. Upon that ground it Was that he did not consent to lay the correspondence before the Bondholders, though he did not take it upon hinetelf to withhold it ; the suggestimi to do so came from a quarter to which he thought they were bound 'Oilmen. He hoped, however, that the period was not distant when every step would be retraced, and the harden placed on the abouldene of those who had a right to hear it. The Greek Deputies; hrethought, had acted with the utmost energy-..where was not the shadow of reproach to be attached to them. The Greek Committee bad been exposed to aspertions and to vitthee ation. It Would have been desirable if those aspersions anti that vituperation had been kept in abeyance until :heir Report had beekread. There was one fact, hucever, which he felt hound to elate. An amnia: tion had been made against Mr. John Smith, 'as being the person through whose influence General lallernand was cent dpon that unfortunate expedition to America. Such was not the case; Mr. J. Smith wee not personelly acquainted with General Lellemand, and had never tecommet.dcd him for that expedition. An lion. Bondholder had asked a question as to Mt. Hume; but he was unable to answer the question, beeause the Committee ex ercised rei control after the first loan, and knew nothing of it. Cannon and musketry hail been sent to Greece by a Military Com. 'Mace, and some of the gone had been employed in the recent at. tack on Negrepont. That expedition was n t well received by the Greeks, and was consequently &needed with a considerable loss of money, the arsenal being completely broken up. With respect to Alissulonghi ' the success of its defence was greatly owing to the sums advanced by the Greek Committee, which enabled the garhie son to repair the walls and take other necessary measures, which otherwise day could riot hire curried into effect. With respect to the Greek Government, it was by nu means so mutt or efficient se Its friends could wish. It was composed of Serail Odle Caplan', several of the Primates who formed the Aristocracy of the country, and many of the Islanders. He would not trust that Government without some centre', but he believed that Milkiest security might be obtained. If the lands were appropriated es security, ha believed Purclutseis might be found for them. Mr. Barlow thed pureed dense lifgh encomium on the Cheek tnimmitue, and said he was ready to defend their conduct whenever a charge should learnada.aemiset them. . Mr. CHICHESTER complained of the conduit of the Greek Committee, which had boasted of its infinence and yet failed t I exercise th at influence for the good of the Bondholders, or for ad. taming the cause of Greece. Money raised by the first loan was appropriated in such a manner as to Create disunion and discord, al though upon union depended the poles:ion of the country. He would put it to the Chairman, who Was intimately acquainted with Greece, whether the mone y . was applied in the only way is which it could be available, in garrisoning and repairing the fortresses. and fitting out snit.,? Had proper ineaeuree been taken by the Coen mince, Naverino might have been saved ; and from the fall of that place the affairs of Greece had go - e backward. The Gemini tee should have taken means for the defence of that bulwark, heated of giving money to an unsttble Qovernment. It might be consi dered °dims of him to comment thus severely upon the conduct: of men who etegaged gratuitously in a public service of great trouble; but when men voluntarily burdened themselves with the manage.. meet of the affairs t f a whole comment:7, and disarm followed die. aster, they had as much right to be censured as tto loan cob tractors who had mietteplied the money, if the minty was misap plied.—( Hear, hear.) 'Then sixty-four thousand pounds had been pocketed, as commieeion on this loan. Now he conceived that some one might hive been found with patriotism and sufficient love of freedom to hare negotiated a loan to aye a natit n from the meet oppressive tyranny, without demanding so large a commiseion. One would have hoped that none would hare been found to rivet those chaiu.s which were t fly just broken, and that, in the CMII2 of humanity, there might have leni an exemption from those frauds which were attendant upon transactions of ois nature. The resell, however, hail proved how ready some men were to tarter the free. dam and happiness r f the'n fellows for profit. Col mei JOKES was convinced that the last speaker would not accuse the old Committee in the manner he had done, if he wat 'rule i farmed of their Ird eedinge. As a member of that Cecil mire:, he felt that the working members of it, and they were many, had suede such sacrifices of time and attention, that it was unneca , ear) , for him to make any observations on their industry or zeal. Ths (committee consisted of individua's distinguished in the Se. nate, and distinguished hit probity. It conaisted of soldiers and sailors, who all lent dit rie selves willingly to further the cause of freedom. Bat many accide Its recurred t i frustrste the er.ertions of the Committee. In the fist peas, there was the death of Lord !tercet, who had attained a commending influence over men whorl it was hard to influence. Then dare was 4 vital error, that we had judged the Greeks, not rot they • e e—t.ot as slaves breaking from their beedage, which thty redly were.
