How could Ministers escape ceusarei for his appointment, if his signals were unworthy of attention ? It was im possible to refuse the minutes, and the motion hatl his most cordial support. The Hon. Baronet csii eluded with aniittitilversions on some points of the evidence, which he thought went against Lord Gambier; and contended, that his Lordship's ac quittal was enough, without entitling him to a vote of thanks. He also instanced the CdS• of Colonel Cavithorne, as one. in which the House, on far less cause being shelve, had revised the proceedings of a Court-Martial. Mr. 'lout differrd so materially from the lion. Baronet, that he wished to state to the House what his own aentiinents on the eulaect were. Tile (orb lion; be conceived to be, out whether the House had a right to demand the minutes of a Court-Mar tial in any case, but whether the present was a case tolf tbatdemand ? his opinion, it was not. a vote of thanks to any officer, whethrr of bra or land, hail been oppused, in the first instance, by another officer of high rank and reputation. he should consider it a strong ground for suspending the Moths, aunt loniser usquiry woe instituted; bat this was not an instance of that description. (Hear ! hear!) Lord Gambier had been tried; (hear! hear!) and be believed the charges of the Noble Lord on the other side of the House were unsupported by the evidence in every instance. He though it cer tainly necessary that the House should be put in possession of the sentence ; for ea it was acquainted with the circumstance of Lord Gambier tieing put upoullis trial, it was proper it should undeistand how that trial terminated. Before he sat down he could not help regretting that the Noble Lord should think it • part of his public duty to pursue the line he had taktu upon this mantle. The in dividual against whom he came forward. had been already tried, and the unanimous voice of his judges had acquitted him ; he lamented, that an officer, who bad given so many instances of talent, should set his opinion at variance with the opinions of all the officers of equal gullaatry, but of greater ex perience, who had decided upon the subject. High as was his sense of the willitotry sod conduct of the Noble Lord, he must lie excused from giving it the prererence to theirs. He was surprised to hear the Hou. /tart. state, that the Noble Lord, who was entrusted with the enterpnze, was unsupport ed ; it appeared front the iviiititcs, th:a lie was not. With regard to the sigiail given by the No'ile Lord, there were many who hesitated to pronounce , 64 heater it was right to give it or not ; and all the officers examined, with only one exception, were of opinion, that it would have been moot rash and inadvisable in Lord Gambier to ob. it. Ile was surprised to bear it asserted. that destruction, sod not preservation, should be the ehject of every itse.' val Officer. The great rritetai, of an Offizer's abi lity, as it appeared to him. was_to do the greatest possible vaischief to the enemy, with the least pos sible iftsehief to those ender • hie urines sal.-es /Hear! Aar!)—lle wished, indeed, that the No ble Lund tied tan submitted such a proonifson tri the House, niter the decinoti of the Court-Martial. He wished that lie, who had never had the com mend of a line-of-battle ship bi-fore, had not been ...- . . • as forward to arraign the coed uct of another ttlfwer, who had long lenii in the habit of such counniend, and had Alm :distinguished himself before by the intrepidity, as well as judicionsaess of his conanet. Tbie Noble Lord had imputed to Ministers si wish go screen themselves by es voze of thanks upon this taccasien ; for his part. to; speak in the candour of :his heart, he did not knees any circumstance which Ministers should he ,anximis to screen, except that of employing the Noble Lord himself.—(Hear ! hear !)—For these reasons he should vote for the amendment. Mr. W. WYPINS said, that when he came down to the House, that dsy, he had every expectation that he should be able to vote for the iootiois of the Noble bed. .He thought it was right that the minutes should he produced. not in order to decide whether the Court-Martial had pronounced a right sentence, but whether, npoo the face of the tiNll2llle tinli. there appeared sufficient grounds to jn.tify a vete of thanks to Lord Gambier ?—(Heer I hear!) —Wlsether the action was of sufficient iinpm timer, ote whether his Lord.hip was sufficiently connected with the Kate. to call for the granting of the high est honour that could be conferred npuu an Officer? —(Hear ! hear!) But now the question assumed a different shape ; it was become • charge, not merely egotist the Court, but against the witnesses. There might, he acknowledged, be extreme caws. in which that House could, with propriety, exer cise its power over every other Court nr Institution in the kingdom ; but this dull not come within the description. Every Member of the Court. and every witness who gave his testimony before it, thought one way, mud the Noble Lord himself thought another. Upon a mere question of opi nion, as that was, should they consider the bare circumstance of the dissent of the Noble Lord. a call upon them to alter the decision ? If they were told, that strung farts were divulged, in the 1 teeth of which a verdict was given; they should, even in such n case, be cautious of adopting such • step. The case of Colonel Cawt borne did not apply. The question was, whether the risk was not greater than the attempt would jus- life and this Involved considerations of nice nautical knowledge, which the Wine should be cautious of taking into its own hands, out of those who had already pronounced upon it. How did the case stand at present ? A Noble Lord declared his in tention of opposing the thanks to Lord Gambier ; he made no charge against him ; when asked for the grounds of his objection, lie referred to his ' .log-book ; but was this a new source of informs- Con? Had it not beentrearained already; and were '- they not in possessiontif the sentence pronounced ? ' Nat' Without consulting it. What then was Ins answer, but, lii fact, 'erectile.: them to the same course of investigation which had been already adopted ? No doubt, those Lords of the Admiralty who were naval office rs, had takes care to examine them, end their report was, that his cuedisct was such is to entitle him to lite highest Itotiour they could beeto w .6.— t h e thanks of that Houhe. The present deasaud. there f ore, was, that they should look over the very same books again; that they Should try the cause truce more upos,the very atne information.

All who loud pronounced an opi• Mon upon the conduct of Lord Gambier. stated bim to have performed an essential service. The true grounds . upon which they should comport themselves that cloy were, the sentence of the Court- Martial. All he could collect from what had been stated was, that a Nu Lle Lord, of greet character, wh o had thought differently from all other officers, from the brgioning.centinued to think so.—(Heer. , hear ti-.-tr it wail the opinion of Gentlemen, that Nsval Officers awe too little daring there, they wouhi, nether, hare seine Towson to doubt the . . coliihmetl testimony of the Court and wittiuter ; but they should recollect that the mane Lord Gam- bier, eliwie thooks were now objected to by au individual. had received their thank before; he was thjuked for Iris conduct in the action with Lord Hnwe, where he had nsked his Alp; having af- lorded *ii Inltaaee, in that ease, th.t he caul) be - - - dtring where it was IleCe*Voiry ; and in the present, that he was us dariug as the occasion required or justified. lie thought that if his conduct was . blauitablc, a dialog eissiege owes' Re have bees Viscount NEWARK would venture to assert, that not a single WHO in the profession would agree with the Noble Lord opposite, in his opinion of Lord Gambier, or of the Own- M4rti Sir CHARLIVI Haim-Ton would vote for the amendment, because, iu his opinion, the fault that more was sot dune was occasioned b y the Noble Lord opposite. At the period that the Noble Lord made the signal, there was no neLeasity fur ventur ing ; some did obey the signal, and wine did no , — those who dal not obey it, were promoted, while those who diII obey it, were pot. Mr. CRONES said, that the Noble Lord oppo site was always very well content that 1e rd Gam bier should be tried by the House of Cd%rnons.— He alluded to the eircunistsnce of Ins referring the Admiralty to his hog-book, and reducing them to time necessity of trying the case, either iu the House of Commons, or by a Court-Martial. No man could have a greater regard for the character of the Noble Lord, public or private, than he had ; but still he could not think that.hit opinion was supe rior to those of many who hod expressed their tirneots on the Court-Martial ; he could not c al der it superior to that of Admired Young, o r r John Duckworth, and others, too tttttt lertni to name; and he was sorry to see the Noble Lord taut his character and credit &against the majority of the profession to which he b. lunged. Mr. Wurratteso said, that he had no hesitation to vote for the minutes, in order tesee whether the extent of the enterprise was such as to jestify a vote of thanks. He went ulong with the Hon. Gentle man who spoke last, that merit should be allowed to others as well as to the Noble Lord ; but he would ask th it lion. Cilentleinsn. whether he did Dot 'think the Admiralty mooch to blouse for appeovither 'the Noble Lord, under the circumetaoces in which he was apuointed The lino. Gentlmman had corn-, planned of the answer given bribe Noble Lord to the Admiralty; he (Mr. Whitbread) disapproved of it also; he thought he should have said that he would give no answer; that, when implied to foe an eziletiation of his cooduct,es • Member of Pars he should have refused the es:pia:Dation; hut . it seemed he referred them to his books; why then,mliti they lint come down monfully, a n d call for theonte of thauks its an open, fearless moaner, with erea t y,s,..

Do you mean to put every Officer qn.jos trial f He would say, that every Officer for whpm a vote of thanks wee, claimed, was on his trial— (Hear' hear!) He thought the Coun-Martial ought not to have taken place ; he thought that Lord Cochrane ought not to have answered. He denied that, to refuse the thanks to Lord Gambier, upon the ground that the extent of the service was not sufficient, would be to cast a slur upon his cha racter—( Hear ! hear!) The Noble Lord (Lord Cochrane) had committed himself more than he had ever 'known a man to commit himself before, and conch was due to the solemn pledge. Another gal lant Officer had attempted to throw the blame upon Lord Cochrane; boot, in so doing, he had spoken not in the moat fabourable terms of the discipline of the Navy. lie had spoken of the Noble Lord's signal. which sonic obeyed, and some disobeyed ; and stated, that those who disobeyed it were pro moted—while those who obeyed it were sot. If such was the case. what, he would ask, would be come of the disuriline of the Navy ? For the reasons he had already stated, and not those given by the Noble Lord, he felt it iucumlient on him to vote for the production of the mitnites, before he could agree to give the thanks to Lord Gambier. He did not know whether there was ally precedent for the prodartion of the sentence, without the minutes; bat it appeared to him more proper that they should accompany each other, that the act might carry with it its explanation. Sir CHARLES HAMILTON explained. in justifica tiosi of the discipline of the navy. Mr. Rose said, that whenever the fire-ships suc ceed iu burning the enemy, the officers are pro moted. Mr. Ponsowar said., he could not agree in the motion of the Noble Lord, nor dial he think he could acquiesce in the thanks to Lord Gambier ; he could not agree in tha.bistale Lord's motion. be cammehe considered it a violation of tree most sacred and fundamental principles of jurisprudence ; it went to try a man aro. who had been already tried by a competent tribunal, and acquitted of lies charges brought against him ; he therefore looked upon • second trial as fraught with danger to the liberties of Englishmen—(Heer / hear !)—so jea lous was the constitution of infringing this prin ciple, that even in cases where persons mei, accused of high treason. if once acquitted by a fur; of their country, even though circumstances shngld after wards come to light, which left no doubt RI their criminality ; even mu such cars, s second 661 would net be permitted.

He could not think that all the other officers were guilty, not only of ignorance, but of gross partiality. At present lie was disposed to think that he should not rote lot the thanks to Lord Gambier; but though sack woo Isis opinion, he should hold himself open to convio4. tion. • Lord COCHRANE stated, that his reason for f fernitg the A,lmiralty to the log 4,001144 was. that they were the best means of inlurnmni; their Lord shy., and it dill not become him to obtrude i::‘ Wtinutt, but to cif,:r the mauler's's upon winch tii .t inion rims formed.

His Lordship then concluded by observing, that the proceedings of the Court-Martial were involved in • mystery which ought to be explained.

Mr. PEnciv• 'twirl, that the paiscrs being wale on the table, ti Would proceed to make his iritsrid ed motion for (tie thanks of the House to Lord Gambier. He was sure that the House would now consider itself iu powesaiou of terry thing mei:wiry to that question, and that it would not vote against it, because the minutes were not produced. It had been stated, that the service sea not of such a de scription as to justify the vote ; but if that was the objection upon which Gentlemen rested, it was not to he explained by the minutes, which embraced other topics than the magnitude of the service. If the service, such as it was, was executed under his command, and that it was thought lit to thank the other Officers, there was no tumours known its which the Officer is command was excluded from his share in the honour. They had the evi ' deuce of the Court-Mortial, in the present in stance, salting forth" the peculiar zeal iii.d aural. tion of Lord Gambier to the interest of the ser vice, to justify their vote. It might not he amiss to notice the circurnstanr,:a of the exploit.— When the French floret were first seen iu Basque Roads, they consisted of right sail of the hoe, and three frigates. Lord Stopford hail then but three sail of tie line and two frigates. He was after• arc's joined by four sail more.
