TRI NI, OF VIWOUN f MELVIL! E A Cornatis tee of their Lordships, consisting of ;is Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, Earl Spencer, Earls of Cassilis and Besborough, Lords Auckland, Dandas, and others, Peers, were ap pointed to exantine and report to the House the state of the preparations in Westrninsttr-i.411, for the ;shove purpose; and accordingly their Lordships forthwith proceeded thither. Lord ELDON espre,sed some doubts with respea to the propriety of one of the resolutions in the re port, which related to the manner in which it was proposed their Lordships, or rather the House, should give judgment upon the article of charge ; on this the Noble and Learned Lord made a variety of observations. respefting the effeet which the mode proposed may hale in a legal point of view, with rsspett to - the Defendant interposioo en arrest of judgment, kc. The resolution, as it came forward at present. was, he thought. rather premature. Lord AUCKLAND said a few words upon the occasion, and seemed to think i: went to lay down a rule, with the certain knowledge that many cases may arise, to which such a role was inapplicable. The Earl of RA DNOR took an opportunity of alluding to the Resolution reipea.ng the form or corensooial of their Lordship,' sitting in Westmin ster Hall, which, as proposed, he highly, with a re ference to the shierrnety and importance of the oc casion, disapproved of. It militated against what bad been the g..tneral pradice of their Lordships on former occasions of the kind ; in support of this, the Noble Earl referred to the Journals, from which se veral extradis were read; one in particular, the 4;h of July, 1746, on one of the then State Trials, on which occasion, the order made was, "that the Lords do occupy their proper places during the trial." In the course of his Lordship's farther remarks, and the reading of the extrads, it appeared, that the De fendant. according to the precedent of the Earl of Macclesfield, is to sit in his robes, uncovered. The Noble Earl then adverted to one of their Lordships' standing orders, which he moved to have read, and which provided, that the Peers should sit in their proper places, according to the Aft of Parliament, except the land Chancellor, who was to sit ins the Woolsack ; and concluded by moving, " 'That so much of the said standing order as applied to their Lordships sitting in Westminster Hall, be enforced by the Lord Chancellor." The LORD CHANCELLOR quitted the Wool sack, and after paying a handsome compliment to the extensive erudition, strong powers of mind, and profound research, for which he described the Noble Earl was ronsarkable, thus gifted, it appeared rather strange. he thought, that one, who so well under stood the substance, should lay so great stress upon form, for which he seemed unccm.atanly zealous. With respeet to the motion, he appts.tended that be possessed, originally, as much authority as Speaker of the House, as he could derive under the proposed Motion, it would be, in that point of view, unneces sary; the use of form was for the preservation of the substance ; if, therefore, the use made of that form were to disturb the oil stance of justice, it would beso far perverting that form. He hoped he should have every assistance from their Lordships ; which he felt would be necessary, in the due preservation of real order, and enahling him to fulfil properly that arduous situation, in which he was about to be placed. The Noble and Learned Lord concluded by moving the previous question. Lord AUCKLAND made some observations agaimt the necessity of the motion, and contended, that the greater part of the precedents adduced, ap plied differently from what the Noble Sad argued; no such order was made on the occasion of the last Impeachment, and no one ever heard of any com plaint made in consequence. Several other Peers briefly delivered their senti ments ; and after The Earl of RADNOR spoke in explanation, the Hnnse divided— For the previous Question, 37—Against it, 10— Majority 27. %VEST INDIA TItc.PE. On our re-admission to the House, Lord SHEFFIELD was on his feet, urging the propriety of the produaion of several farther docu ments of a commercial nature, which he conceived necessary for the due undentanding of the subject, of which the West India Intercourse Bill, then pestling, formed so important a part. The Noble Lord moved for several accounts and documents, loin, of which were ordered to be laid before the House, and the motions for others negatived with out a division. The discussion principally took place on the motion for the produSion of the Repot t of a Committee of the Board of Trade to the Privy Council, respeding the Nest India trade, made in January, 1784. Lord HOLLAND oppt szd this %lotion, as un necessary, and the objesl of it ttnding to no good or useful purpose; as it was evidently nut wise, that an opinioh, fortned under circumstances, in 1764, should be a guide for their deliberations, in 1806. What was therein sec , mmended, proved to be detrimental to our West India possessions, in the tree following years. He disapproved of parti a l or incomplete prodtglions, as not tending t 3 throw a full or proper light upon the subject. A convetaatiosi of some length ensued, between Lards Auckland. Holland, and Sheffield, which last spoke several times in explanation. Same of the 'documents, . particularly that alluded to, were opposed by Lrd'Auckland, on the ground of th eir beiqg tutaily irrelevant to the Bill before the House ; belies. a great ',Arcot what the Noble Lsrd called for, was excessive!, voluminous, would be proffue tive pf mitzb unntlexagity tr:ublei and could be a no post.ible In the course of his expl marionc, Lnrd HOL LAND said, the Noble Lord might AS well move for the prodniton and priiti•ng of A:saertAn't 54 , /eat (76none-cr, and P,,,tlethis-ite'r Ihßiwatry.l4 burg. , ) I he crestion being put on the above Motion, it v..t. ne4.itive.l w'thout a division. I..)rd=iiips then proceeded to forward the Bills on the tAhle, in their respelive rages, after which the I-Lit.e ...ljourned till Monday. 11 F HOUSE. OF COMMONS. • 3 . 1.

Mr WHITBREAD moved, "that a Lid be sent to the Lords of Ilse 4nllowing farther Witnesses, to be eitatisieei on the Trial of Henry Lord Viscount Melville, via Mr. li. Buckley, Mr. T.

The Tohacen Duty Bill was reed a third time and pas .ed. The Wine Permanent Doti. Bill went through a Committee, aid was ordered to be reported on Monday. ADDITIoNkI. FORCF. RILL. Mr. Secretary FOX moved, " that the order for the second reading of the Additional Force Repeal Bill be discharged " He said, that at the time he named Monday, for the second reading. it did not occur to him that a business of the highest import ance, indeed, of importance superior even to most of those which came from the executive govern ment (he meant the trial on the Impeachment of Lord Melville), was to come on upon the day following. If, therefore, the discussion should, as was very ;Isolable, go into great length, and last to a late hour, it would be very difficult for the Members of that House, and particularly the Mana gers, to be prepared to enter upon the proceedings, at so early an hour as half-pan ten o'clock, which he understood would be the time appointed for their commencement. As i: must be evident to every man, that the charailer of the !louse much depended on the manner in which this trial should be con -eluded, it was necessiry, for the purpose of accom modation, that the tccond reading should be 't ferred to Wednesday next, which he mov... ac cordingly, but would be sati , fied to take any other day in the week which might be thought more c‘..n !client. Mr. CANNING observed, th t• as this Bill had Andergone many postponements, he hoped, that if a day were now appointed, th it appointment would be considered as definitive. he Right Hon. Gen tleman talked of the peat importance of another. proceeding ; but this was surely of great importance also,as nothing Wll more desirable, than to quiet the anxiety and agitaticn which was excited in the pub lic mind, by this measure, throughout the country. He should therefore agree to the proposal of Wed nesday, as the most convenient ; and hoped that no consideration of convenience or preference, would have the effed of deferring it any longer. ' Mr. FOX replied, that when lie ptopmed to de fer the second reading from Thursday last, be did it on a ground which the gight Hon. Gentlemen himself must deem to be quite sufficient—namely, the absence of his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Wind ham); for surely no petson could think it right, that the discussion should take place in his absence. He proposed now to defer it again; but not on any private groand, or one which he thought could be liable to the smallest objectien. The second reading was then fixed for Wednesday next. Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that as he under stood there would be no objedion to what he had to propose, he thought it unnecessary to preface, with any observation, his motion, for a list of the number of men who had volunteered from the Bri tish Militia, into the line, for general service, in the year 1805, and the effeetive force of the Militia at the time. The SECRETARY at WAR said, he did not rise to oppose the motion, and only wished to ob serve, that when a number of mess were allowed to volunteer from the Militia into the line, and did so enter in the yearl799, they were enlisted for the term of 5 years only, and at that time he beard no corn. plaints of any injury having been thereby done to the service, nor did he learn that there were any complaints on that account since, though the num ber who so entered, was not less than 26,000 men. Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that in the ensu ing discussion, it would be necessary that the House should have before them a view of the two different periods at which men were allowed to volunteer from the Militia into the line. The first was in the year 1799, when the men were enlisted, not for five years only, as was to be inferred from what was said by the Right Hon. Gentleman ; but for five yeats, or during the continuance of the war, and limited to service in k.urope only. The other period was in 1905, when men were allowed to volunteer from the militia for general service, and for life; and it would be a way material ohjed of consideration, il, on a comparison, the tenth should be, as he was c..rivinced it would, that a greater number of men had enlisted in the year I WS, than iii the year :7,49. Tic Mutien was then agreed to. lls rhea moved for an account of the number o' men who bad volunteered for limited service in the year l'7W; which was ordered. Lord Garlic. :presented a Petition from se. veral merchants of London, against Lie "..F.:ave 8.0 ; which was ordered to lie on the tahle. The report of Lord St. Vincent's .trinuity Bill was agreed to, and the Bill ordered t i be read a third time on Monday. Lord H. PETTY said. that on account of sr me informality, be was tinder the necessity of postp ing, for a tew days, the motion of which he gave n tor making a prpvisiop for the family of the late Lena Viscount Nelson. COMMITTEE OF StiPPLY. ADDITITIONAL PkY TO 111 E NAVY. The House having t esolved itself into a C O.M init!Ce of Supply, to which were referred the .N.,vv E tt ;.. mates. presented yegerday, respecting the allowae e , of additional pay to the ptEcersAusimmArgit of the navy— Lord HOW K thin spoke to the folloveinr, e T e et—tt 1 rise, Sir, pursuant to the notice 1 itiiv; yesterday, for the pu ; , ose of sol , rnitting tr. the I louse a proposition 1.. s. Stich I Cannot .cancefee there will be any obj..dic.a. It most be e9tr.:ll, wish of every Gentlemao present, to contribute, much as possible, to the comforts of a gallant set ni men, who justly rirod so high in the estimation their country, and whose valour, exploits, a.a.: me rite:ions services, every way entitle them to the gr.:. titu.le and support of every individual in m— ile only douLt or difference that. can possible arise upon the subje.), is in resped to the expedi ency of granting any additional allnwances to cer fain classes of the Navy; but atter I submit . what I have to offer to the House upon that stibjeft, I arta - - sure they will give me credit for being i git ity of na rashness, in adding too much to the public burthens, upon that account. I was but a very short tiate office, when several statements were sent me; of ap. plications made for additional allowances to tb. Navy ; and amongst others was communicated a Petition, which was left for signatures at the different ports, which it was intended that I should after wards offer to this House. This Petition was cer tainly crotched in the most moderate and respeet!u! language; but though I could not but discountenance such a mode of application, I proceeded wi h care, attention, and assiduity, to prosecute my erquiries into the nature and justice of these applications. I had, however, proceeded but a very little waa, tvhen I was fully convinced, that much was wanting to be done for the inferior, and had not gene much farther, before I was also convinced, that some ad dition was equally required for some superior, offi cers. The result of my enquiry was, that it would be absolutely necessary, in whatever arrangement should be made, to proceed upon a scale of tion, to prevent those discontents, which would probably ensue from the adoption of any other method. The Lieutenants had, indeed, before submitted their case, by Petition. which pro duced some discussion in this House, but did not prove effe2tul. To slew. however, how rea sonable and necessary it must be to make settle alteration, I believe I need only remind the Hotta, that the pay of the superior officers of the navy had received no addition daring the last century. There was, indeed, one excepticn, when in the iast year a considerable addition was made tea the per of the masters and surgeons, but that addition hal ore bad effea, inasmirch as it destrayed the due pinportion between their pay and that of tine superior officets. Another effen it very naturally, and indeed almost unavoidably, produced, was that of fetish:zing the lietenapts more eager in the pro secution of what they considered due to them, and gave rise to that Petition which I before allude,: to. Hut 'whatever right the claim • of one class may be thought to have over another, I thought, for .the reason I aletady hinted at, that it would not be ju dicious to make any partial seknion an °etyma of this kind. As to the propriety of granting an addition to the warrant and petty officers, there could not be the smallest dount in the mina of .iny man who paid attention to the subjeCl. With se. speal to the expediency of an increased allowance to the seamen, there was some degree of doubt pre vailing iu the minds of those prof, ssional officers whom I thought it my duty to consult; but I col assure the House, that the generality ot them were in favour of it ; and I very readily coincid ed in their.opinion ; for if an addition were made to the pay of the petty officers, the able-bodied sea then, of course, ought not to be negleCted. It is true, that a considerably encressed allowance was • given to the seaman in the year 1797 ; but it is no more than fair to consider the sleet rise Which has since taken place in all the necessaries ot life, had the encreased advantages of pay which were to be obtained in the nterchant service. I would nor, by any means, be understood to mean, that the pay of seamen should be proportioned to the price of pro visions, or the necessaries of life, for that was a thing altogether impracticable, and what never had, nor ever can be done. But, Sir. when we cnnsider the nature of the service in which they are engage% their claims become irresistible. When we call to mind, that these brave met, who hive been takeu, many of them by force, Irons a service id consi derable emolument, - and deprived cf all the means they might othetwise have of promotion. and advancing themselves into lucrative situa tions in mercantile pursuits. When we refit& that deprived all these advantages, they have brawn every danger, many ofthemttrough,a brag wish succeeded by as interval of discus se.; and unset tled peace, during which we were termed to ahem: all the embarrassments and expences of war, srith out being enabled to make any considerable reduc tion of our naval force; when we add to this, that the same men have the recolleCtion of past enjaya ments embittered and aggravated by their present toln hew many of them have been incesaantl) serve ing their country for twelve or fourteen year ; that they are exposed to the severest hardships and duties Mail seasons and climates, where they have not e%43 1 1 the animating hopes of a contest as excite them; that they are, at this mament, ;informing ti.e most laborious and harrassiag duties, i i the very sieht of that enemy. whom they are hopeless of brining to a comber, which our brave men are making ill: most strenuous end ineffectual elf iris to provoke I who is the man who would not be ansioos to give them the means of cheering consolation in the lung and tedious hours of their midnight watch, is OA hardest seasons and most unfriendly climates. It w.a. upon these considerations that I a triaged Ho Majesty to grant a more general increase of than probably was in the contemplation of stone 0, these who now hear me ; and I shall now mact"! in the different gradations, to state the deara " these allowances which I have :o rapes, to the House. In the first plate a us the LiTlaislnel of e.it feet, I propose no additional pay whatever: gher are persons who have not Wen toiced fin' i , mare advantageous situation:. but who entered rot , luntarily into the service in which they are Mtn • and they have befit* them every in.:it:meet. • merit, by their g iol hahattlour, the saase advaire`ii.*
