About half-past three o'clock the LORD CHAN CELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack, and se veral P,eeus attended in their places. The D►►ke of BEDFORD, Earl O'NEAL, and Lord BYRON, took the oaths and their seats. . _ The. lishop of Oxroycv presented a Petition -from. the Corporation of the City of Oxford against the Catholic Claims. The Reverend Pre late . accompanied the presentation with a few words, but in such a tone as not to . be distinctly heard below the Bar. Mr. LITCHFIELD, from the Privy Council , Office, presented certain accounts respecting the issue of specie from the Bank of England, pur suant to an order from their Lordships, which were ordered to lie on the table. LORD CHANCELLOR read a letter which he had received from the Han Vice-Admiral Stopford, on the East India station, acknow ledging the receipt of their Lordships' Vote of Thanks, of last Session, and expressive of his grateful sense of the honour ; and which was or dered to he entered on the Journals.' The House then adjourned for sometime dur , ing pleasnre.- • About five O'clock the House resumed, when Some Official. Documents were laid on the table by the Earl of Liveipool, by cone and of his •Royal Highness the Prince Regent. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PETITION. PreviouS to their Lordships entering, upon the Order of the Day, a short conversation arose be tween the Bishop of Bristol and the Earl Of Hard wicke, touching this document. The Bishop of BRISTOL observed, that he nn derstOod a Noble Earl had in his place, on a for mer evening", declared his opinion, that the late Petition of the University of Cambridge against the Catholic Claims, had not been' fairly carried through, and that due notice had not been given to the Non-resident Members. On these points he differed from the Noble Earl, and begged leave to state, With respect to the notice, that it' was, on the particular occasion, even prolonged beyond the usual time, inasmuch as it had been extended from three to six days, in order that the Non-resident Members might have s.ufficent time _ and it Was remarkable that the greater part of the minority against the petition was composed or Gentlemen who had come from Town. The Noble Earl had also been pleased to impute mo tives to the Addressers, which he (the Rev. Pre late) could not think ware entertained by them, and he repeated his opinion, that Iroin the whole of what took place., the proceeding could not be regarded as an unfair one. The Earl of HARDWICKE, though be believed the reference' made by the Rev._ Prelate to be somewhat irregular, begged leave to say a few words in , consequence of what bad fallen from Tirst, he must observe, with respect to what he had said respecting the motives of the Addressers, that he still remained of the same. opinion,.and also with respect to those points on which the sentiments of the Resident Members ought or ought not to preponderate. With respect to the point of due notice, he. must observe that, in his own case, though connected with the Uni versity, and residing within ten miles of it, be had not sufficient notice. The Bishop of BRISTOL and the Earl of HARD' WICKE respectively spol:e in explanation.., I.le Marquis of lIANSDOWNR took the opportu nity to observe, that the notice had been conveyed *to him in such away that he was unable to attend the meeting, though within a day's journey of the University; and he was happy to bear, from The Rev. Prelate at least, that tic> personal motives were to.be attributed to the Addressers. Lord HOLLAND. exprcssed . his opinion, that the lionse was not desirous of prolonging a.eonver sation, the whole sense,. Of Which' appeared to him to be, ,that the . Petition alluded to Was .not the sense of the whole University, but that of its. re sident Members THANKS 'TO THE MARQUIS . OF WELLINGTON, &c. The Order of the Day, upon which their• Lor d• shir were summoned, being read, Earl nAI'IMRST rose, . and , said.h is intention was to move, that the Thanks of that,House should be voted to the great and excellent Officer who:com manded the Allied Troops in Spain ; an expres sion of gratitude, which; he thought, was due to bins for his•conduct through the whole course of the recent campaign, but more especially for the signal and glorious Victory at Salamanca. Before he called their Lordships attention to the leading particulars of- that memorable action, he would refer, in justice to the Marquis of Wellington,' to those particulars of military policy which ap peared' to him to , have determined that great Officer to march into the interior of the Penin 'sula. What he should say on this bead, would be from documents already before the . coun try.• When Lord Wellington had achieved the possession of Badajoz, one of his ulterior objects respected the situation of the enemy in Andalusia, particularly the principal army under Soult, as the capture of the enemy's battering artillery at Ciudad Rodrigo, rendered it impraCticable to undertake any siege of conse quence, or at that season of the year to advance into Portugal with any considerable force. The successful prospects which then opened them selves, were chiefly awing to the adMirable dis play of science and gallantry on the part of Lord Wellington, Vallich induced the fail of the place sooner than was expected, and what was rather a Matter of surprise to him was, that a blockade of either Ciudad Rodrigo or 'Almeida had not been attempted, which under the circumstances would have been attended ,with ill 'consequences. In this view of the case, it became an immediate ob ject of the Noble and gallant Commanderto take care that those two fortresses should he adequately provided, the completion .of which work occupied some time. After glancing at some of the s'ubse - - quent operations, the Noble Secretary adverted to the beneficial consequences of the system of Lord Wellington in that part of thecampagn, as he Was iinpressed with the importance of relieving Cadiz, and enfranchising tIA kingdom of Andalu-. sia from the oppression of the French.\ The Noble Earl said, he was aware that other parts of Spain were at the time possesSed by the French, as well as Andalusia, as Castile for instance, but it was in - a very different way ; they were in pos session of the villages in the latter, but; where points of communication were not established between, the intercourse ,vas interrupted ; but with respect to Andalusia, its subjugation was complete. , Impressed with the, import ance of these two great objects, the gallant Marquis well knew that the defeat of. Mar mont would go a great way to achieve them—lt was also a speedy object to prevent any _direct communication between Marmont and the French troops to the Southward, and in this view the bridge of Almarez was gained. It was necessary to call . their Lordships' attention to the brilliant and admirable manner in which these essential service§ were performed by - their illustrious Com mander; 'but about the period to which he alluded, a part of the correspondence of the enemy tell into his hands : from the perusal and considera tion of these, it appeared that there was not an intended movement on the part of the enemy that he had not anticipated ; trot an expectation of their's that he had not frustrated, and not a fear that he had not realized. In one of the letters it was expressly said, " He (meaning the British Commander) must have read our correspondence, or dived into our hearts, to enable him so to act !" The Noble Earl then took a view of the opera tions of the contending armies immediately pre viouS to the battle of Salamanca, and particularly adverted to the skill and gallantry displayed by Sir Plaornas Graham, in executing one of the orders of his illustrious Chief=an achievement which was performed within sight 'of the hostile armies. Theobject of gaining that post furnished a strik..- ing proof of the. uniform unwillingness of our il lustrious Commander to commit the general safety of his armies, or unnecessarily to risk the lives of his soldiers. His Lordship then noticed the cir cumstances of Marmont's receiving reinforcements from the Northern Army, and panegyrised the!able retreat of the Bi l lfish Commander, in consequence, without loss, and in such a way as enabled the al lied force in that quarter to form a junction : and then entered into a detailed view of the glorious victory of Salamanca, and the operations imme' diately precedent. The felicitous, the long sought moment when a fair prospect of success present edlitself,was instantaneosulyseized byth e illustrious Chief, and improved and followed up to a brilliant result of victory almost unprecedented in the an nals of the country. Nothing shewcd more the vast extent and range of his mind, or its scientific adroitneSs, than the ability which appeared at the time of seizing a favourable mannent for disposing an army for immediate and decisive action, which but a few minutes before was prepared for retreat ! In this part of his speech, the Noble Earl particu larly adverted to the several Officers who had pre eminently distinguished themselves on this ever memorable occasion ; a day crowued with victory, r PRICE SIXPENCE-HALFPENNY. which would have been . reiOcred still more signal and brilliant, had not night closed upon the exer tions of the troops. He felt it unnecessary to ex patiate on the reiterated proofs of military ardour and science so gloriously displayed by the Mar quis of Wellington on that great .omlsion. His fame.in all those accorriplishments, which Consti tute a consummate Coimilandtr, was established long beforethebrilliantachierement of Salamanca. • Neither did he .vish to atteintA it Those earned panegyrics would cotne with more force and effect from those who, Alike himself, were endowed with elegant and 51assiS: taste, and gifted with „the powers of brilliant aniPanitnaf2ed elo- • (pence, Those were alone competeint to do jus tice to the various and incomparable merits or the great and gallant Officer in question. The Noble Earl concluded by moving to the following 'effect:— " That thb Thanks of this House be.gicerito Arthur, Mar qquis Wellington, K. B. for the great and unparaaotled skill, gallantry, and conduct displayed by him in the command of the Allied "Troop; in Spain, during tin , whsle of the late campaign, but more especially for the achievement of the signal end brilliant Victory over the French army under Marshal Marmont at Salamanca, on the 'lid of July last, thereby rellecting additional lustre on The British Military Character." On the - question being ptit, The Marquis of LANspowNE observed, it was great and Sincere pleasure he had heard the just,• and'eloquent eulogiurns, which the Noble Earl had from his heart bestowed upon the illustrious subject of the present !notion, and from his heart-too, he expressed his sentiment that the great military fame and character of the Noble and Gallant . Marquis were not in the least tarnished or _diminished by the subsequent events. The a: cir cumstances made no alteration whatever hi the question before the House—that qiiestion was not whether those means affiirded• to the Noble Marquis were adequate or inadequate ; but whe ther the means which that Officer actually possess ed, were wisely, and, as far as circumstances would admit successfully employed •by These considerations he would not mix with env: thing then before the House; they• may affor'd matters of subsequent discussion between Noble Lords. But this much he may say, that if !toy Member of that House had a stronger sense of the difficulties the Noble Marquis lay under, from in adequacy of means, and who admired those traits of patriotism which the Spaniard i had displayed, under a variety of circumstances, in proportion as he WaS so impressed; i fens proportionably in cumbent on him to give his cordial assent to the motion, as a tribute of applause toithose great and splendid talents which had on so many occa sions suecessfally surmounted such obstacles. He would go further and say, that in a review of all th t7rclt military transactions which 'had distiu -guisbed the war in the Peninsula (if he could so far venture upon a judgment which he felt inade quate), if be were to select one point 'preferably to another, as the object of the highest ad!uira- , tion, it would be - those circumstances in which Lord Wellington **as compelled to retreat before a superior army. In these circumstances, his great • mind -shone more eminently conspicuous in avail ing himself of the difficult circumstances of the country for the protection of a retreating army, and‘for maintaining his communications with his resources. Such was the retreat by which he, secured his army within the lines of Torres Vedras. These operations best shewed the scope of his military genius ; and such was the retreat which, under circumstances, had thrown the Noble Marquis back upon the fron tiers of Portugal. There was, however, another point or consideration connected with the suili tary"character of Lord Wellington, to which be would advert, because it was also connected with the best interests of the country. It would be difficult to convey the idea in the shape of a re solution. It was known and felt, from the na ture of - the war, as connected with the character of the Commander ; a Kind of Military Scheol Was forthed--the advantages of which, the coun try would, - in the career of the times, have one day to 'avail itself, perhaps with a reference to its very existence. Such a school was the inveSt- Anent and repeated.attacks of the Castle of Burssaas i in which such a gallant and accomplished Officer as Major Somers unhappily fell ; an Officer who, if he had lived, would have added to a name al ready illustrious, the honours of military fame and glory.—Such Officers were formed under the instructions of Lord Wellington, and animated by his example. He said this much, because it was • understood to be the practice of that Illus trious Commander, in the intervals between this more active operations, to afford opportunities to - those Officers under his orders of acquiring mili tary skill and habits. With this, the only other point he would trouble their Lordships on, was connected. He meant not to observe upon any acivice given by. Ministers to the Prince Regent, • as to the promotion of Lord Wellington after the battle of Salamanca, but merely wished to say`, that at the particular time an opinion was forrneal, of the propriety of conferring a rank and promo tion more appropriate and connected with the ser vices Krformed by that great Officer—a species of promotion which, he believed, would have met the unit'ersal applause of the army and the coun, try, which would have been enabled to avail it, selt ,of the services of those gallant Generals, who otherwise could not -so regularly,,serve, and at a moment when the Government -of Spain seemed - to be struck with the propriety of making a promotion upon such a principle : a proceeding of the kind to which he alluded, the Noble Mar quis was of opinion, would be attended with the happiest consequences. - Lord SOMERS said, he was most anxious to add his tribute of applause to the merits of the great Officer •in • quesion, which were so ably and so justly eulogized by t Noble Earl opposite; be ANTI-ATTRITION.
