SIR HOME POPIIAM, Mr. GREY; in the absence of his Hon. Friend, (Mr. Kr NNAIRD), who was out of town, rose is bring forward certain Motions of which that Hon. Gentleman had given notice .for yesterday. Those Motions were, for an Account of the Repairs done to the Romney when she was fitted out for Sir How POPHAM in September and aftober, with the Expences attending the same. Mr. DICKINSON thought that this was included in the Acct unts already on the Table. Mr. Ga Y did not conceive those Accounts suf ficiently particular upon this head. The Motion was agreed lo; as were the ic.)ltow log Motions : An Account of the Repairs and Alterations done to the Masts and Hull of the • Romney in Novell'. ber and December, iSco, with the Expence, A Copy of the Navy Report, and other Documents relating to. the Expence of the Repairs and Store s o f the , Romney, from the time she was put in Commis. aloft' until she arrived in India.—Art Account of all the Expence, Repairs, Sec. of the Romney and other Vessels under the Command of Sir Home Popham at the Cape of Good Hope ;particularizing the Stores, and . specifying the Quality, Quantity,' and Price of each Article. , —An Account .of the Naval Stores, &c. purchased by Mr. Spearman in the Red Sea, and all other Disbursements made for the-Ves. sets under Sit -Home Popham, while in. that Sea ; with the Vouchers for the same.—An Account of the Terms of Service, Bounties received, the Die. charges; and Dates of - Stich Discharges, of David 'Ewing Elarthplomew, late Mister's Mate in the Romney, while he has been in' the service of the Navy.—An Accossnt of the Term which the said Bartholotnew•had served in the Romney,—A Copy' of the Orden ` from the Admiralty to Sir flume Popham to torn over all the Petty.. Officers of the Romney, when she was discharged, to other Ships. An Account of the Time when Bartholomew was apprehended in 1803 ; of the R's placed opposite the name of Bartholomew, and the Orders sent from the Admiralty for cancelling those with the .condit ions, Sec. . . A long conversation took place upon the pro. priety of the word aurchended. Mr. GREY. and Captain MAReinAht contended that the word was strictly appropriate, as .Bartho mew bad never been regularly diseherged, and therefore was a deserter ;' Captain MARI4.IIM4 ob. serving, that the reason why Sir Home Popham , had let him at large, notwithstanding the Order he received from the Admiralty to'turn 'hint and the Other Petty Officers over to another Ship, th a t th e , nourikle Larunet best knew, and 'would be afforded a' proper opportunity of explaining. The CHANCE L 4012 Of the E)CCHtQUER, Mr, S. Bouitere, Mr, 1)wislitI5011, Itit.l Sir W. Butt. HOUGH'S ) thought• it more correct to h ave t h e words, taken by a Press. gang," inserted, in lieu of the word " am- rebottled." Sir HOME POP IMM .841, that be had, no doubt, received an Order to tem over his whole Crew; but yet that he permitted the other Mid_ shiptnen, as well as Mr. Bvtliolomew, to go Write to their friende ; and that many of them trail since returned to the Naval Set vice, while others had gone into the Army. Ile- ietentioned this fact iny order CO lihew that he skewed no particular par ' tialiry to Mt. Bartholomew, in antleipati en o f hie name being brought before that flou,e, which was a thing of which lie at that time did nip . even dream. In dischargiogAr. Ilartholornevi and . the other Midshipmen, he had to Observe, that he coo. sulte4 the tornmissitmer of the Pay (..lifice, to wb oil e judgment it was the custOrn of Naval Officers to appeal upon plying (4 a ship. The Honourable Baronet, with zrfereocm to the' word ap, , rehended, remarked, that it could •)oly be . applicable in the cast of Mr., Bartholomew being a descrier; That that gentleman was riot so conakdeted, •either: be fore or since his being impressed,' he thought it un. necessary to say ns,.?re than this, that previous to his being impressed, Mr. Barthotomew corr e sp on d e d with Lord St: Vincent, and if:he'had been deemed a deserter, it was fair 'to prOttn)e, that hIA I .oetter would not haye been answered by the Admiralty and after Mr. Bartholoinew!e being impressed, h e was taken tin board the Zealand, from which he was transferred to the Iltexible. No proceed ing4 had ever been taken with'reipeo to , this Gentleman, and he was now a Lietttenatit onboard the inflexible. 'thi s Ship, it was known, was under the command of a friend and rehtion of Lord yincein ; and' . he woulcVput to the House, whether it was 'probable that Me. Bareholornew could hold reach'a rank op board, had' he been considered guilty 4 desertion ? Whether the tote of the Navy bore hint out in the oiiginal discharge of Mr.'.BartholomeW and the .other Mitibhittrntn l was 1101 . ntiw the cpichcion ; but he sebtnitted to the candid`consideration o f t h e House, that as tar. Bartholemciv was not in fair. nabs to be deemed, and he ;tett 'net, in 'fdet; heir) treated as a deserter,, so tiAe Word " apprehended," which implied the w , p not applicable to him, ° Mr. OneY stated,'That the Objea of. the Mo. don under discussion, vitt the otter Motiontate li;u1 submitted, was' ifi cutler to makc the hot 4c, piainiCil With', thi ' ChilfH4q of ,lkl'fi a rll n arrhotoinew 4p4 to aSCerfain !' how fat his asseverations, WhiLh Were so materiel ie 'considering the'subjeet to ter; ,; J 1 his Motions ; t timed, were catited to credit._ Capt."NimitotAlu noiicea the frequent rritntion o f Gcn winch tltittlitt, win the ailtUgelllo,ll)oqs;it application the . House quest imagine that that per. son deserved the title of Gentleman in the proper sense of the word. whereas the man had originally entered as an able Landsman. Here the Sr BAUR interfered, and observed, that the discussion was extending to a length that did not fairly arise out of the question before the Howe. The Mown, awe the onnsslon of the word " apprehended," and the insertion of the words " taken by a press-gang," was agreed tn. Mr. GRIT presented a Petition from William Mitchell, Esq. Captain of His Majesty's Ship the Zealand. The Petitioner complained of certain false statements and misrepresentations contained in Letters from, and an Affidavit by, David Ewing Bartholomew, which lies on the Table of the House, in which the said Bartholomew charges Petitioner with ill-treating him while on board the Zealand, in consequence, as Bartholomew stated, of his being known to be a Witness in favour of Sir Home Pop. ham. Petitioner therefore prayed, that an Order should be made, that Copies of ''the Letters and Affidavit which he had addressed to the Secretor" , of the Admiralty, in reference to the allegations in Bartholomew's Affidavit, should be laid before the House; and also that he (the Petitioner) should be furnished with Copies of the Letters and Affida vit of . Bartholomew. Petitioner futtleer praYed, that he might be, called to the Bar of .the House, to ,answer the Charges against him, and that the House should afford' hiin ;such opportunity Of viedicating . his 'honour, as to its judgment should seem meet. The Petititin was ordered to lie - on the 'fable, and Orders were made, on the Motion of Mt.Ort e y, for the Papers referred to in the said Petition. On the Motion of MT. W.
