L PAHLIAMENT. Housr, OF PEERS, WEDNESDAY, JULY 7. MISCELLANEOUS. Counsel were farther heard in continuation, respecting the Appeal Cause, of the. Trn'tees of the latc Duke of Queens berry against the Earl of Wenlyss. To proceed - again 'to morrow. _ _ The Royal Assent. was given by Commission to the Penin , ;rola. Courts Martial, the Pot Ash llegnlatiort Duties :Veer talmnent, and the Irish—ltoYal Canal Cosnrnies Disso lution Bills, and to .seven others of a private ur local de -1 eription. The Lords Commissioners were, the Loan CHANcett.on, Lords WALstNottANt and 11.r.Or.snAtx, The Vote of Credit Bill, Stamp Duties, Irish Sugar Duties, Irish Hides, and Malt Duty, 'nd a few other Bilis, passed through Committees of the whole House, and were reported without any amendment. • The Appropriation. Irish Roman Catholic Officers, Trinity Doctrine, and some other Bills, were read a second time. The Report of the Annuities Registration Bill was agreed to. The Wellington Estate Bill, Irish Spirit Duties, Inland Na a igation, and a few other Acts, were brought up from the Commons by Mr. Lushington and other Metubers, and seve rally read a Grst Lord HOLLAND presented a Petition from a person named (as We could bear) William Mogan, upon, which, however, Lk Lordship said, he meant not to move any proceeding.— The petition complaining. in direct and general terms (with out stating particulars) of partiality in the conduct of the Judges of the Court of 'King's Bench, against him, in a case before them. Viscount Ssnmourif was of opinion their Lordships ought not to entertain such a petition : if the individm:l had been aggrieved, the laws were competent to reilrrs!i charge was vaguely and generally made—no case was stated.' He -had no hesitation in moving that the petition do not lie on the table. Lord ELLENBOROUOIT assured flu it Lordships, he had no recollection of any. person of the name, but was inclined to think the petition came from a person who had a case be fore the Court, respecting the construction of a will, and against whom the Judges were unanimously of opinion. Soon after he saw a libel in ,ome of the public papers. He kneit . nothing farther of the . person to whom he alluded. All the Judges were of one opinion as to the case—they may have. acted erroneously, but it was in a fair and honest discharge of their duty. • Lord itsnasriatz remarked,. the petition contained no ease, but mere general assertion ; it was in►posJible their Lordships could act on such an occasion', .• Lord ITOLLAND shortly explained. • Earl SriNunn also remarked, the Petition stated no cases and added, that he had refused to present it. Ile was clearly of opinion it ought not to lie on the table. The question was then put, and it was ordered to lie 'on the table. Viscount SIDMOUTH then said, that notwithstanding what had fallen from a Noble Etul respecting what he was about to propose, on a former occasion, he should move that the Petition be rejected. Earl STANHOPE (the Peer alluded 'to) argued, that in the nature of things, the import of language, as well as with re-• !creme to the practice ot the House, such an order could not consistently be made by their Lordships, as their Lordships had Just resolved not to Teceive the Petition. Viscount Simmount Contended such a proceeding was per fectly regular, and founded in the correct practice of Par liament. The Earl of LAVDEADAUE seemed of a similar opinion and thought, that on a future opportunity any Noble Lord might revive the discussion on the Petition, and move for its lying on the table. After sonic farther discussion, the, question was put on the Noble Viscount's motion; and the Potation, in consequence, ordered to he rejected. • A short discussion took place p r incipally between the Earl or LmJl!Ennati and the Loan I;nalventtent in constqucnce of the former having moved, that the Trini ty ' Doctrine (read a second time that evening) should he committed for that,day three mouths, on the ground of various' errors and defects in the 11111, which would render its passing improper, and necessarily the introduction oft new fill. 'Phis seemed in•sortie degree the opinion a the Noble Lord on the Wool sack; hut, in the result, the further consideration of the sub- , Beet was pustponed. 111c1 / 1„3 MARSHAL Tin MARQUIS OF NV EurmriroN. The' order of the day upon which their Loy& ships were summoned being read, Earl Batuunsr rose, and in rather a concise, but eloquent speech, proceeded to move (per.; want to notice) the Thanks ot Ale house to the above Illustrious Officer. He anticipated the most cordial and perfect unanheity.in the vote-he was about to propose. The victory, equally bril boot and decisive, which gave rise to his motion, was, he observed, unequalled in the history of the countey. Not only for the advantages of its he -mediate results, but with respect to the moral and political ' consequences, which there was every reason to hope it would involve ; it eventually res cued the Peninsula from the gripe of the common Tyrant and oppressor of the Continent of Europe. Its immediate result was the capture of all the artillery—the stores—the provisions—the trea sere, in short of every thing that constituted the military existence of the enemy's I..riny.—These stores were 'lodged and accumulated in the place where they ev,ere captured, on account of its great diitanee from the British lines, and the strong natural lines of defence which intervened; all of NN the enemy, for months together, had strengthened with much pains, at a considerable expellee. All these preparations were inadequate to resist or stop the course of that superior genius that skill and energy, by which the Allied Army was led on and directed. The enemy found themselves constrained to abandon the strong for tress of Burgos", and to demolish its works, us well as the possession of the other strong posts held in that quarter of the Peninsula. They had vainly oped to make a successful stand at the post AN here their principal magazines and stores were tietuninlated ; these also fell -into the hands of victors, led on to attack by that superior Genius svlio had so ()Len marshalled and led them on to triumphant success. The enemy,' however, on this occasion, fought with that valour' and des peration which might he expected when the mag nitude of the imatediate object ot contest was considered. Neither were their eflorts towards a rife or orderly retreat snore successful : the rapid and judicious movements of that excellent Officer, Sir Thomas G',.alonn, cut off their intended re treat ; and to the successful results of . the'aetion, other of the Officers, in important COMMand, also essentially contributed. In the early part of the general action the enemy exerted themselves, but in vain, to recover the heights of La Puebla.— Ou that occasion it was, that the gallant and en terprising Lieut.-Col. Cadogan, in turning round for the purpose of leading ou his men to repulse the enemy, met his glorious fate. His last re quest Was to be carried to ttu eminence, whence i i i , e .m r g ni4l ,l it o s i e: ei t y h p at ar e t(iTi t es t which no c a c te aud, reclining against a tree, emitinned to (li t : regard towards the ev : t,, 1 1 1. 1s eyes with an anxioes A mr n jr rt e l a me t yles until they were closed for ever ! accomplished Officer, or a more spirited or Inviena-le ' yeefell - ti,e'tield of boimar !

Lordships present co nsideration. Ihe power of. France was then very different from what it now is—the object of the contest was not then the cause of a Whole people ! The Noble Earl then adverted more particularly to the illus trious subject of his motion. • The c ireinnstances under which Lord Wellington was called upon to the military service of his country, was worthy. Of consideration. He had been Secretary to' a Lord Lieutenant of Ire-hind, whose administration was not yet Ft an end. They saw him zealously and ably discharging_ the arduous duties of that office ; front that he was called upon to command the British Military in Portugal, where he soon nobly proved himself superior in Military talent to the French Officer oppobed to.hint. If the retreat made by him last year were compared to the re treats made by the enemy,' they might easily de 7 . cide where the superiority of military talent lay A. view of the comparative losses on these occa ions alone would decide the point. With superior skill and genius, he rendered even the retreats as'. subservient to his ulterior military objects, as many other Commanders had been ahle to do with respect to their ,most successful advances tic felt it unnecessary to ,detain their Lordships lon ger, and mOved--• " That the Thanks of this House be given to Field Mar shal ARTritte Marrptis of WiA.LtNo . roN ' Knight of the Must Noble Order of the Garter, for the valour, skill, and gal lantry disph:yed by hint in the late operations against the enemy II Spain but particularly for the selendid and deci sive Victory by hint obtained on the 9.1,t. of 'Nue, near Vit over the.ettenty, end the capture of ali.their artillery, stores, and provisions," The motion being read front the Woolsack, The Earl of Ross Lyn rose to express not only his cordial concurrence in the Motion, • het his decided and entire approbation of . his Majesty's Government, in having advised it most appropriate mode of distinguishing and rewarding apilitary service, which be considered as almost unexam pled the history of the 'country. it was the first instance in modern times, Of a reward of the hind, and he was free to 'declare the services of Lord Wellington richly deserved it. He added, that the promotion was satisfactory to the army at large, and even to those officers who may be said, in some degree to he superseded by it. Nay, not one of them would object to the honour of serving the country,under one .Who was decid edly the highest ornament of his profesSion, 'and so eminently qualified for that important com mand for which he was chosen. •Any thing far ther he could say, would rather weaken than add to what was so well said by the Noble Earl ; but he could not refrain front thus shortly ex pressing a strongly felt- sentiment and decided Opinion. The Marquis WELLestry delivered -his senti ments' on the occasion at, considerable length, He expressed his. full sense of the high hoooor about to be conferred on the Noble Lord in ques tion ; but the House would recollect, that -that distinguished Officer did mint not come' before there as a new man.' On every extraordinary cit . - cuntstance of his military life, - he had been deem • I ed entitled to the honourable 'need in , question. On every accession, whether °ri l :treat, or of en tering a country, wherever military talent or, ge nius could be exented, and for extracting vic tory even out of retreat itself, the Noble Lord, was equally deserving of, .and received the grate ful weed of his country's approbation. To thishe was entitled, notwithstanding the misfortunes of last year's campaign (he was n•tt. then inquiring how they had arisen),.which constrained 'him to that retreat. He was, however, desirous to state, he had no objection now, on the same ground lie had disapproved their conduct last year,' to ap prove the conduct of his Majesty's Ministers, in enabling theNohle Lord to exercise hiS..great mi litary talents in the course of the present cam paign. By. these means the Noble Lord was note enabled to stand before them in the full security and glory of his transcendant talents !"I"hey (Ministers) had wisely availed themselves of the resources of the country ; they had exhibited the glorioui and animating spectacle of the resources of Englandlrttly applied in the greatest contest -in which England, in 'every point of view, was ever engaged. It was the 'opinion of all great Statesmen practically, and he thought it shoidd be theoretically, that military fame and reptita tion- was the most solid security, not only for the glory of a great nation, but of its security for peace. He believed the Noble Lord, in the pre sent campaign, hail been provided with amply suf ficientmeans for the great object of producing a decisive effect upon the French force opposed to him, and he therefordapproved the conduct 'of Ministers with reference to the present, on : the, same grounds he hind disapproved it,• with respect to the last campaign, Adverting then to the par ticular victory which gal;e rise to the present mo tion, he believed it, either with 'a view to its,ku-, mediate results, or the immenseloSs of the enemy, to be an almost unparnlieled thlog".. The Noble Lord' could only be 'compared with hica,ell in one of his great victories in India, he took up- • wards of 100 pieces. of cannon. The consequeuct • of this great victory too were unparalleled, and it was rather a curious and =ming speculation, that the very army, .who were ordered to be driven into the sea at Lisbon, should be chasing :be remnant of the French troops over the land, to the precincts of, Bayonne, with their fugitive in truding King (where . his crown was he knew not, perhaps hid in his bonnet) the disgraced partner of their flight ; The event., which had since elicited, evinced the original wisdom of that policy of e,n4 teringintoand taking up the war iu Spain on a large scale--(Clear ! hear!) of not rendering it - a , var. of diversion, but one for saving that country fromjhe By a continuance of it on the power ,of France Same scale, there was every human prospect of eventual success, and the more especially, if Eng land were still set at work, as she appeared to have peen at work in the course Of the last six , montns. • Lord HoLLAND expr'ess'ed his Cordial akubba- . Con of the proposed Vote', and praised in high terms the mihtnry comlna arid, exertions of the Marquis of 'Wellington. Like Fabius he restrain ed the impetuosity of his troops itlipetuosity was always the chatiteteristi'e of braveip and he Constrained to a disgraceful re.treitt one of the greatest commanders that ever led_thi: French ar inieS. His skill and talent ifi seizing- npon nn for i-seen opportunities, and converting kemitig disadvantages. into tiecided success, was one of the characteristics' of the MuStriotig Officer in yiestidt-4.. With regard to the iMmediate results of the late victory, Lor(l WOlington Wall the best judge ; but With respret to the moral resulti and Consequences, he (Lord folland) thought them likely to be most eXten•ive and important. Among other cons.ideratrons,. such greAt victories (vonlii lead The British soldier -to estimate more highly hiS own character. The British army stood now upon higher grounds of estimation than it did at the battle of I/indent. The success of the British armS wotild also, in another point of view (by lair= ing the Illustrious Officer in question more influ ence and authority in that Country) benefit ei seotiully the cause of Slade herself; and he could not avoid-exprec . ng his approbation, ill some de gree, of the conduct of the Noble Lords oppo site, in contributing so.materiallyto the great suc cesses in questioq, by directing their military en deavours Rincipally, it . not entirely, to the sup port and furth erance of th e Spanish cause. The question was then put, and' the mmion ivas voted by their Lordships nem. dis. As were also motions for the Thanks of the House, by the No ble Secretary of State,. to the subordinate Gene rals and Oiltcers who commanded under the Mar quis of Wellington ; and to the non-commission ed officers and privates of the army at large : as well us motions to the same „effect (ail couched in the usual terms) to the Officers and the Army of the Spanish auxiliary force. • The sane were ordered to.he communicated to the Marquis of Wellington in the usual way. COLONEL CADOGAN, The Earl of LAVDERDALE, after generally. Glaring his approbation of what had taken place, NVISIII'd to ob , ieryc, that he thought every mark of respect possible should be paid to the memory of the late Colonel Cadogan by the Government of this country He trusted that It: was at least in cOntemillation to erect n monument to his me [nog. • Tile Earl of I.4vP,Rrnot. said, he deeply en ,tere4 into the feelings expressed by the Noble Earl, either as a British subject, a public man, or as.contidential adviser of the Crown. He bad long know n th e accomp li s h ed and justly lamented Officer in question, and entertained for him the greatest personal regard. Every mark of respect that could be, paid was intended, to his memory and the greater these marks of respect were, the more gratifying they ,would be to himself.
