may have Lien the more inclined , to fall into.-this idea; because in the country „I am most .acquainted with, into nest is allowed on all money lying in public or private banks'. I beg- to say I had no infbrtr4- totras to the profits rhat were derived. It was owe suppesitien that sitne. such emoluments as, .1 have, adverted t0,1,11121it , 114ve; arisen ; that on . the' ~• wounds which I have stated,;l, did not interfere 1.0 .prevent them. It is ot4larlaa..few Months sinceAlzat a is -Der was put in tri • my hands by Mr. Ceutti, the • !e ling partner of the Bank, alseWing• the - nature of th "profits really , made. I have, adverted, only. to ,at I conceived . may, have'.•been . Made without prep:Ace to 'the Fiblic, or any violation of the seeeedness of the public treasure. . The praaice kcaaping tneney: in private banks for ,the details of the service continued twei . years 'after: I..oe4sed to liOld the, .oifice of Treasurer' - of the' N,^ f aey,....— it M - ...tS :1 ::en discontinued by Mr. Bathiarst.as inex-. redient. 'His successor (Mr. Tierney)" had - doUbts the prepriety ,or necessity - of it. *Thuft - ethese twa able men, were of an ;'opinion •Which, does not u'riLorint to - ecnc4.3nriation of the praffice 'made so': violent a emend of charge as . to me. • 1 ... 4it0 not speak of th e use made of the money, but . merely as ~"to" tide Mode Of drawing it from the sank. . I have heard it has . been somewhere insinuated, that the anoney could be drawn frcan the Bank in this*man-, ner only for , purposes rif priyate emolument. Pro bably this investigation may be pursued in ano ' &et plac.e,---if it *should, I ,think, 1 shall there be ' able 'to`Shetv that the pi-a/Aire used in my Tree s :tership was the better. I think I will be able to .d thonstrate that with the, ,Accounts of the Sub sA,:!;9l.tntaiits, under the .immediate controul of . -the P.itnaster, it , would . be salitr and more ,convenient to keep the money for detail payments in the man , uer then, pfactised, than . to make these payments by 4.separate drafts on theliank;' as is done new. I know from the number of Payinaaters at the. out...ports, that checks cannot apply to them, but so far as the pay ments ate liable to a daily:cheek,or .oath, the public interest- and individual convenience would Certainly be better auswerd.by the former mode, I will be told no inconvenience has been experienced from the present mode. The exiierience ;of that, mode is, however, but very short, being but twelve months under one of the Hon. Gentlemen I have mentioned, and six inelitha under the other : it is not to be compared' with the 14 'years -ex:perierice of the other mode ; during which time rio other loss had accrued to the Public than the balante of one Sub-account alit, and without a moment's delay of payment in any instance whatsoever. I wish here to say a lioßt . as., to whet has been insinuatecl.faorn the ,reserve in thy answer to the letter of the Comthisaioners - of Na. val Inquiry. 'The Commissioners . first applied fo me (ea the ef.itli• of June for a liarloy Of details Which it , was impossible for me td give, and I stated the, causes ,oi that impossihility.'At that time they were possession of the Whole account between' Mr.. T,...)tter and Mr, Contts, No , item of this was stated: to me,•no explanation was given or required. The 'letter of the' I..d' Nov. de.sieed that I shonld conic to be • exatnii.ed with respea to answers previously given 'aid compared, witholit any. guide whatsoever. I at teA:led under the disagreeable impression that M r . "I'reeter had so blended 'his accounts With-: Messrs. - Coutts,. to to be incapable .of furyishing me With any detailedaccount saatsoever e so as to enable .me to give any. sitisfaCtory explanation'. I Stated to the Commissioners this disagreeable eiritimstence, and lamented, that I was in conSequerice - at a loss.whe therl,may riot, unknowingly, from . tho , blended man 'nor in 'which Mr. Trotter kept his ,money :-at Mr. Coutts' have, sometimes; derived benefit from, th4se of seine of the public. money. But I deny distinatly haying, at any time availed 'myself of the proteEtion of the .A&, but for' the purpose of keeping secret things material to the public service. 'rine whole of the reserve which 'was perional to Myself was con tained in the uncertainty arising from the blended nature of Mr. Trotter's eccoinst with Mess. Coutts: This I have 'stated' for the judgment of the House on 'a point 'which I understand ha's given rise to a great deal 'of animadversion. Another point Is corn paised in a question which I answered to the best of my opinion, that:l never did give any inettuaion to lay out any of the Public Marley in the modes con demnad. I do not complain oa . the animadversion marle on the form of rnylanswer. I ought to have said , distintaly I never did. The mode ot expressing Myself, to the best of my retolleetion, is, however, habitual tome, in speaking of things past, as, thou: who have lived much with 'me .well know. It would perhaps be not amiss for ;others if they used similar caution with respea to what they drew from their memories. 7.ins 'explanation would, he tru,ted,,resmOve the foundation of the acrimony that had b - ;.en indniged in 'on this, subjea. The form of this expression ditniniZed the confidence of the; as- • 517:111Ce, did not take away frorp the grounds of it. It hai been also stated, thatl was at the same time T'reasterer of the Navy, and Secretary of State, and that my, connexions with my friends;and my predi leetions far office, made the hold these different de. Partmenti When I ought to have confined myself to, one ut thew. I will say in thepresence of one Who knows (the Chancellor of the Exchequer), and in the pre sence if others' with Whom I an not in, any particu lar habits of intimacy (Mears. Windham and Gren villa), 'that I .never wished to remain one hour in the office of Secretary . of State. ' At the time I ac cepted of the office of Tretisnrer . of the Navy, it was appropriated to the, person at the he a d o f' the affairs of ;India, for which I really had ‘' a paedilee-. tion. I accepted the office of Secretary. at State, only, Sir, "a few months, till a 'Noble laird, then on is loceigu mission, should return to take possession of it, :When :Lord Grenville entered on that office, and His Majesty appointed:Me to be Secretary for , the Horde Pepartinent, I begged that I might heti einpteil from the dtatY t;f that office, andalloWed to • eley . myself altogether to the affairs of India,— predileetion was not for the Office of the'Trea g firer of the Navy', but for the superintendence of ladint Affairs, with which the Office of Treasurer t Navy was intimately connected. I beg.par elan for trespassing on . the Rouse selOng, but I trust ' , he peruliarity - ot my situation will excuse me for ( ~n , ,;e ivourin r. to, convey the fullest information on , c :ae to tine m meek 'of tile Honourable (setita.me n who hear Me. No orportunity will remain to IIIC fir canvassing any argument that may be offered . ; I am, therefore, particularly anxious ti.; impress more fully every ,thing - that presents it my ViCW. , 33 tiecesaary to set me right.— as Co: the ,Report on' the table 'anal' the number of tae .evide:a c annexed to it. I. have a high re- • • cpet for the Menders e/ that alrnmittee, 4-44".1 can:lot help thinking that their delicacy of going into •any-trfatteribeyond whuf they conceived "pre cisely referred to them, was. t!, cause why. manv things =lamed in -a state - of half examination ; . :and .why some 'thinis , remained without- explana- • • tion or answer, which if gone into at large, would have been attended with a much More satisfaEtory -Here •the Noblo-i.ord again • adverted tce the difficulty under which. he' was with respe& to the •deficiency of the details of the accounts of Mr. Trotter.- He represented the diffieultieS under which M:. Trotter innst have been, in stating, merely from meintry, things of ten or fottrtcon years past. • I.k was at the mercy of Mr. TrOtter's recollcc tiot7, which those who were' best acquainted with . Mr.. Trotter 'kneW to . be not so ..perfect as it had. been. He represented the alteration that had taken place in Mr. Trotter's evidence with respe& to the 0,0001. to Which:he begged leave, the next day, .to add 30001. mor e . M r . Trotter. had' also stated 'that. Mr; TWeedy hack' been.. employed as a con fidential Agent by him e but there was no ground for Mr. Trotter to form such a belief; and when . Mr. Tweedy's son was examined as to the the - t, he • knevir of no such connexion, betw;een "titther and Lord Melville ;• his father's books. 'had .no renee to any such transaaion. With respe&to the, 10;0001.-1 am distreised,, said Lord Melville, from • the manner in which I must speak of myself in these transaaions :---during the whole period from t 783 to 1800 'I was the confidential adviser of Ills Majesty with respe& to the Akira of Scotlaod, and had the entire superintendance of. til t s. Government of that Country, not indeed officially till I beeatne Secreta-.. ry of State for the Horne Department, but aatially and in effect long before. In that situation I was oceastor.ally. - called upon for aids which I ,could not consistently with . the . publie honour, er pri ' vete security, disclose. I certainly feel much chi, ficulty, under a restraint which I cannot violate, without a breach of public duty and private honour.- When I came before the Commissioners of Naval Inquiry, it was not with respect to . this 10;0001. only that. I laboured • under this restraint, *but .also a much larger sAm, amounting 60,0001. . as it had been expedient the names of those to - Whom the forty thousand pounds had been advanced,. ' (Messrs. Boyd and Benfield) should not have : been,. dis Closed ; and know" grounds groenda which, if they were known, to those whd made that , disclosure, they 'would not have thotight it -honourable.even now to make it. .But if such a disclosure had not been made, I should e have ,had to, answer for the 40,oee]. also, with respea to which the . disclosure ..that has ,beere made now exonerates, me from all blame. Yet I should have subMitted to all the putation and ,obloquy that could have arisen from the unexplained a ppli ca ti on wen. of' so large a sum rather than vi o l a t e a reserve. which • my. •, some of duty diaatecl. 'Here' the Noble LOrd entered into particular iterm of Mr. Trotter's ex-. 1 aminatics, 'He supposed the advance which Mr.. Trotter hadaltered - from 20 to 2;3,0001. ought ra- 1 ther to have been 20,001, for he re.eolle6ted that. the interest he had paid for it ;was, iqool. Mr. Trotter had stated the ,balance of the current ae;. count ;with great accuracy. When he said the • amount •of _this account was from 1 o to .20,01)01. . against Lord it Ni'quid be . conceiv(:d that there were at different times balances against Lord Melville 'to that amount. If more partieularly questioned; he weUld' have stated that no such meanink was intended, that: he 'Only meant to say that vas the iggiegate of the different balances put 'together. , The Noble Lord here stated that the principal Occasion of this advance was to make good • his .payments as a Subscriber to the Loyalty , Loan, to which he was told- l i e ought to be a contributor to the amount of ten or twelve thousand ponnds, from thd official situation he held. He had communicated, through Mr.' Henry Thorn . ton, his intention, as soots as the. deposit should be made, to sell his share, bUt the stock fell, and the subsequent payments were made good by Ceutts or Trotter. He never considered this as a part of his property. With respeit t o the non-paYment or interest on' the current adeotint, Mr.. Trotter hav ing in the course of fourteen years had balances ,in his favour, and 'a total of 70,004 of his money . having passed through that Gentleman's hands, the consideration of interest must have been but of a .paltry amount indeed.on eithet side,. With respeCt to the 40,0001. he had some doubt whether he ac tually suggested the advancement'of it, but he was sure he at least approved of it decidedly, , and thee . fore he would not. shrink from'. any part of the responsibility attached to the • transaalon e A. to the ,Felrt of the Report relatingge to the. inforalA' 'tion given by -Mr. Itaikes to Mr. iitt, did' dot lecolleect," thd precise words h e ma have made use of when. Mr.' Pitt mentioned it to but he was sure it mu s t have anuitinted to this; that it was an idle Tumour without the smallest foundation, that no money was taken froM the tank blit what was regularly assigned, and'vehat v-as necessary for • small payments. With .respe& to the business of jellicoe, the deficienCy had accrued before he came into'office; and it would have, beet) a severe grieV .anco indeed, if his Majesty bad not been iidvised,,to give him the relief he had received. If more _bad not been- done for the recovery of the balance, he was not in fault. There was another. subjeCt on , which the minds of men were very fetich astray, and this was the release between Merino awl Mr. Trotter. 'That Paper had been sent to,hicn,a ciiStance of 400 miles, without any previous advice or'corninuaica-. tion. lie believed it came to him not by the leinds, of any man in business, for it was sicced at hi t ; sell's house, in the pre=sence of twb of his servants. He had not given any instructions toMr.:l:totter, nor. any'other person, to have such a thing prepared. Mr. Spottiswood, the Solicitor,' was since dead ; but nei ther his son, or hispartner, knew any thing, or lueird. any thing, of any such instniment, adive in his busieess. at the time. If the release were a bond for. the destru&i on of t h e proofs of chilies committed in cotutnon byhiin and Mr. rl'rotter, thi s Very instru ment must have, been the most effeEtual means of 'the: deteetien and conviCtion of those' criint!s. - , It must have been known to so many persons concerned in preparing it, and it must be put on record to carry. it into effed. The execution of it at the time of the appointment of the Conamissioners of, Naval Inquiry gave an idea it was meant to keep out of the way'prools,that may, come before, those Corn missionerse but what security . was there that this release itself ' may not come before these Commis sinners, and thus afford'asatronger. concatenation of 'a laver. It was therefore absuidato consider this in strument as any thing else than what ,it kaas, a secu rity taken against the. use, that might be made of particular vouchers by the heirs of either party, after the account -had been- closedlo the mutual sa tiSfaftion of both. This instrument was supposed to covenant the destruction 'bf all papers; it spe cined-only 'the destrueliOn of vouchers, - and he saw no reason why books of accounts should have been • supposed to be included, except from extraordinary jealousy. It is' not, my intention, said the Noble Lord, to take up much more of the time of the House. I am certain there is no man who will not be sensible of the great anxiety I must have .felt for - these many Mouths 'during which my condua has . been canvassed under such a variety of modes and shapes of proceeding. I should be.guilty ef very great and dishonourable -apathy, indeed,' if I could, declare myself -insensible to all that has taken place in this .tiateavith respea tome. But if any person thinks to overthrow and break down the spirit by which, I am impelled and supported in resisting the. imputations, • cast upon, rue, he is mistaken. 1 know this is not, a place where I hilly utter ally syllable. inconsistent with respeEt for those -who -have been my accusers, ' but I trust. I have strength and • fortitude to, bear sup against all their attacks, and that I all equally unassailable by observations from other quarters: — But-I ,confess that the lashes that have be en.laid on - me,liave lacerated the feelings of my dearest friends,; ' and barn not ,ashamed to acknowledge, that my own feelings hate been severely lacerated when I considered the!
