Mr. 110BHOUSE said, he was very ansions to bring on the second reaJilig of the Nabob of Ar cot's Creditors' Bill, which stood for to-day ; but he could not think of pressing it in the absence of the Right Hon. Secretaries of State, who might wish to give sentiments on a Bill of such great importance. The Bill had now been before the House three months ; and as a considerable time must pass between the second reading, and the Committee, he hoped it would certainly come on on Thursday, to which day he would now beg leave to postpone it. The order was accordingly made for Thursday. ImPEACIIMENT. Mr. WHITBREAD, in pursuance of the notice he had given, moved, " That a Committee he at'- pointed to inspat the Journals of the lionse of Lords, in relation to their proceedings on the late trial on the Impeachment of Henry Lord Viscount Melville, and to report what they find therein, to the House." On the quntion being put, Sir 11. I.IILDNIAY wished to know what was the c•lj 8 for eppoimitig such a Commission ? Mr. WHITBREAD answers 1, there might be matter in the journals sshicn would en.shle the }IOUse to form a judgmeut how they should proceed is future. Mr. DENT said, if the House were expected to have any future proceeding on the sulijeft,be thought the Honourable Member should be more explicit as to his reasons for inspeeting the Journals. Mr. WHITBREAD said, he did sent know what was contained in the Journals of the House of Lords, and, therefore, could not make hii `Hon. Friend as wise as he wished to be. There might, however, be many matters width it would be pro per for that House to know, such, particularly, as the opinions of the leatned Judges, and the particu. lar grounds on which the House of Lords had pm (ceded in consequence el these opinions. Mr. FULLER said, he nnder.tood the NAle Lord opposite (H. Petty) to have promised, when the matter was in discossioa, before the trial came on, that if Lord Melville was acqiiitted, he should be allowed his expences ; he uished to know whe ther it was i.itendiAl to WO that promise ? as hr thought it hard any individual should be carried to such an expensive mode of trial, And not allowed his expences. Lord H. PETTY said, that when the subject al luded to by the Honourable Member, was mention ed during the discussions before the trial, he had said, that whatever might be proper to be done in that mite& it must be detetrnincd After the trial, and not betot• ; but he had never given any promise, such as the HonourAhle Member conceived. M. WHITBREAD said, Lord Melville had no blame to impute to the Managers on that account ; he had been taken into the C.nirt in which he was tried by his own particular friends. alter the house had positively determined, that be should be tried in the Court below. Mr. R. DUNDAS said a few words in a very low tone ; after which. Mr. Whitbread's Motion was agreed so, and aCommittee appoiuted.consisting of several of the late Managers, of which tire to be a quorum. GRZENWICII 110SPITtiL. Viscount HOWLCK sad, he had on Friday given Notice of two Bill, he meant to move tor this day, relAtive to Greenwich Hospital and the Chest, hut on further considetalion of the subject, lie .found it would be necessary to have a Message (torn His Majesty, previous to moving for the Bills, as pan of •hat was to be disposed of, was wholly vested in the Crown. He would therefore now move for some Documents necessary, preparatory to the Mes sage, via. A Copy of the Minute of the Commis sioners and Governors of Greenwich Hospital, re lative to ameliorating the Condition of the Oat-Pen sioners thereof ; and for making Provision for infirm and disabled Officers of the Navy. On the question being put ; Mr. CANNING said, he was glad to see the recognition, by one of His Majesty's Ministers, for whom he had personally the highest reaped, that in matters relating to the sea arid land forces, the :objet should originate with His Majesty. This doctrine had been lately strongly urged and sup ported by those on his side of the House, and as vehemently resisted by some of His Majesty's Mi nisters. It was, however, evident, they now saw the thing in a different point of view. V. vICK - - shout of the whom could pence fice. had rept soy 1 he' but. was belie thoul come Accout tat, ter wicl tire Lor• Wetioes4 should entered submit dtstrassed Mr. tt.e Mr. ROSE mnved, as vs Amendment, that the number `• 9" should he substituted instead Of which had been fixed by the Committee, as the Au ditors to go to the West Indies. lie. went over se veral of his former arguments, and particularly in ' steel, that as the greater part of the business would , be in the %Vett Indies, the greater ntimher of Com missioners ought to be there, instead of which, the greater number Clete to stay at home to do iv thing. This produced a long and desultory conversation, in which co new atgument occurred The Amend ment was opposed by Lord ll. Pray, Mr. Morris and Viscount Howick ; and supported by Mr. Percival, Mr. Huskisson and Mr. Ryder, who said it was a Bill to increase the Patronage of the Crown, at a time when the House ought nut to impose on their Cotutitnents a single g uinea that could be avoided A Division took place on the number fixed by the Committee—Ayes, 72—Noes, ID ...Majoriy, SI . The Report was then agreed to. On the question that the Bill be engrossed, Mr. ROSE renewed his former objections. He insisted that the only examination that could take place must be in the West Indies ; and therefore three Commissioners ought to be there, instead of which, the three were to stay at home to enjoy their sinecure places, and only two were to be sent out to do all the business, which was highly wrong, and sheaved not only a great want of experience in the Noble Lord, but also that lie acted with the grossest ignorance. Viscount HOWICK expressed his eurplise that the Right Honourable Gentleman who spoke last should have dwelt with so much• asperity on sine cure places, to which he had been so fonds used in the course of his political life. The Right Ho pourable Gentleman had inveighed 'with horror against sinecure places, and at the . same moment was himself in possession of one, which he had en. jnyed for many years (a general cry of hear! bear! bear!). As the Right Honourable Gentleman's horrors were so very strong, he presumed he would not be able longer to endure so vile an abornine. lion, and that he would therefore immediately wait on His Majesty, and resign that which, in the possession of anotl; , -r, Ord him with so much wrath and indignation (hear! hear! bear!). The Right Honour-`le Gentleman had accused his Noble Friend (Lord H. Petty) of ignorance and want of experience ; hi s N o ble Friend certainly had-. not the same experience as the Right Hon. Gent. particularly in the doarine of sinecure places,, but he was well assured his Noble Friend was as careful of, and as desirous to s ave. the public mon-v, as any man could be, and would therefore spurn at the idea of resorting at such a crisis to sinecure Ohm% by way of procuring patronage. As he was •a his legs, he would then make a sew observations en what he understood bad fallen from the Right Hon. Gentleman on a former night, relative to his eondit2 in the office he then held, in speaking of the mother of new Commissioners. The Right Hon. Gentleman could not say Sir A. Hammond was re moved, except on his own apylicati:+n. Before the warrant was made out, appointing him to his pre. sent office, Sir A. Hammond stated that his health. mould no longer permit him to execute the duties of the CompttoUer of the Navy, and he begged to be permitted to retire. He had done so, and as a remuneration for his long services, was allowed to do so on three.tOurths of his salary. He had then appointed Capt. Nichall. who had since. from iii health. sent in his resignation. and went out with the same remuneration. Sir John Henslow, after 60 years service, had sent in his resignation as He. play Comptroller, and had received the usual re muneration of threelourths of his salary. Sir Charles Saxton also, a very old servant, had de sisted to retire, hut wanted his whole salary, which he had uniformly resisted, and told ban, if he chose to retire on the ems' terms, he had no ohjeftion. Mr. ROSE thanked the Noble Lord to; having given hint an opportunity of assuring his Lordship and the House, that in any thing he had said, he never meant the slightest insinuation against the Noble Lord. whose appointments he, on the con. hig! Iv approved. Mr. S PURGES BOURNE thought the Noble Lord had spoken in an unconstitutional manner. in addressing what he said personally to his Right Hon. Friend on his sinecure place. Did the Noble Lord mean to say, that because his lt;ght Hon. Friend held a sinecure place; did he mean to say. that because a Right Hon. Secretary of State. not then in his place; held a sinecure pace ; and, that because the present First Lord of the Treasury held a sinecure place, that none of those personages were to deliver their sentiments in Parliament on that subjed, and that they had not a right to speak their disapprobation of any place, or other measure of Government Ilse sinecure place held by his Right Hon. Friend, had been given to him for ser vices of thirty years ; and, he believed, no man ever • deser- creased. nithout the accounts hAv;nA been al but he hoped, when his Noble Friend (I Petty) shtaild hare the same Cipt:rieriCe of years in Office, the fruits of his measures o•ta very different. The Opposition to the C( sinners lesnaining here, he l7 , ig at a loss to for. He hoped there was no Gentleman•., exercising his own patronage in the appoit of these accountants, would wish that they not be examined here, and compelled fairly by the public. He did one think t any Meat respea due to the experience o, years, in which nothing had been emr.e. was wanting to the WI was, that it should understood in and out of th it I louse; he shout no scruple in saving, that there was no one posed it, who did not wish to suppress the nations. Mr. JOFINSTONE said, that the plain, in._ pie question was, why there should be three AiL:h tors residing here, and only two abroad ? that hms. ever the Learned Gentleman did not 'explain. Could the Gentlemen opposite to biro assert that the labours of the two Auditors in the West Indies would be able to give full 404 suffizient employ.. ment to three residing at home? It they could not, then were these places sinecures. He did nut think the ided of , when it was first mentioned itt that House, to have been very applicable ; but when be observed on either side of the flou.e, the :egret if some for the loss of employments, and the asnxiete of others to leap into them, he was induced in think they had more attrasitiops than he was aware of. The prbitiit Ministers Sad shewn a concha( s for defending themselves by recrimination ; serving, that they could not escape censure. if the, committed! one-tenth of the abuses which cah,ci. had committed before them ; but after they hal been for so many years in the habit of declaiming against extravagance and profusion, he though: they would he ten times more blameal)le, if they followed bad etatoples. In their proceedings, Le certainly saw greater strides towards patronage. then he had ever witnessed before. and particularly in the late removal of a very meritorious Ober (Sir George Bail:au.) from his Government. by an cur./ordinal y exercise of the King's Prerogative. Dr. LAWRENCE said, he did not know whhh most to admire, the arguments, or the jests of the Hon. Gentleman ; but that is hich related to the bed of roses," was one which could receive no answer in that House from any man, who had proper regard for his own chevalier. He was a t a loss to know where the Hon. Gentlem.rn could ob serve that anxiety he mentioned of leaping into Office; for, in the state in which His Majesty's present Ministers foend the country, it would, um. doubtedly, be a most perverse ambition. Sir WM. YOUNG spoke in favour of the gill, and noticed the facility with which the evidence of fads might he withdrawn in the West Indies ; explaining, that the best mode of inquiry would be from the indursees of Bills in this country. The Bill was then ordered to be engrossed ; and on the motion for the third reading of the Bill, Mr. RCSE said, he wished to make an observa tion on what had been so exultingly said of the ef feat of his twenty years experience, during which the abuses continued to subsist. In answer to this, he had only to observe, that the existence of the abuses was not known till the year 1719, and that in 1800 he went out of office, After that, thellherit of poring an end to the shameful way, which before prevailed, of examining the accounts, belonged to his deceased Right Honourable Friend (M. Pit.). The Bill was then o r der e d to b e rea d a third time to-morrow. A message from the Lords an nounced. that they had agreed to the ReJ Lion square Improvement, arol an Inclosure Bid. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. On the motion of Lord H. PET the Hr ,e resolved itself into a Committee of Supply, to se t,t 't was referred the report of the Committee on the pe tition of Messrs. Chalmers and Cowie, praying for a compensation for the losses they sustained by the importation of Swedish het-tinge. Mr. WM. SMITH re-stated what he had sail before, of the circumstances of this case. In tt.e year Inn°, when a great scarcity prevailed in this country, a Committee was appointed to consider of the best means of relieving it, and on the informa tion they received ftn:n these gentlemen, it was thought advisable to encourage the importation of Swedish herrings, for a supply to the West India Colonies, as well as for this cannily. • The gentlemen in queetion embarkud in that scheme; but in 14 days after the passing of an Act, authorising the importation, an embargo was laid en all Swedists vessels, by which these gentlemen lost the market. The loss they were at by this, amounted to 35,0001. and with interest , and the lo ss of profit, would now amount to 50,0001. ; but as. some gentlemen may not think their claim as strialy founded ;- 1 ...
