Geteral Tariee - roa, in consequence of what had fallen trove hi. Hon. Colleague and - the Hon. Gen tlewatt, conceited-it necessary to' make'a few ob e se rvaticibs. With respea to the state of the port of l a ; kerpool, he had been the innocent cause of mak- R ig a communication which was denied by the pe titioners.

The p-ti ti?n Set forth the distresses under which they labour froM \ the Orders in Council t the hopeles?mess of ' their repeal, and, in addition to this g:e,at aggrava tion of their rnelancholY prospect , they observe with pain and sorrocc, that great nunibeis df Persons held Sinecure places and pensions, arid therefore-pray the House to take those circumstances into considera tion; to contrast their situation with the situation of thoSe persons who, by holding sinecure places and pensions, have fattened on the war, and added to the distress of the people. They,' therefore, trust that the fiquse would take such steps as shall limit the profits of their places, or as shall do them away altogether during the war. - The Hon. - Gectletnan observed that the various Petitions already presented, proved the extent and pressure of the ditficultie4 under which the country labours. Some of the Petitioners attributed the -distresses to the use of machinery, others to the monopoly of the East India Company, another class to the Orders in Council, and the present Petitioners to the abuse of, sinecures. He trusted that as the subje& was to he disctissed to-morrow, the axe would he laid to the root of the evil by abandoning the, Orders in Council. Tile CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER expressaci his.tirprise that the Hon. Gentleman should think, it necessary to anticipate the debate. which was expea ed to-morrow. It certainly was not : a very conve- Diem way of discussing the subjeEt by taking the debate on each individual Petition. With respea, however, to what had . been stated of the language of his. Right Hon. Friend,• be did not think it just in any one to create an injurious impres,ion againq his Right Hon. Friend, by the circulation of lan- . guage which was stated as having been used in his (Mr. P.'s) room. If such language really d . id pass, it was astonishing to him, for , this he could say, that he never - saW-Gewl,men go' forth from a room ap parently more satisfied than the Deputation froM Birmingham were with the reception they met with. AS to the expressions said to have been used by his Right Hon. Friend, he had not the least recolle6tion of them ; he could not tax his metnorywith them; or trace them at all to anyauthentic source. ,At the same :time he did not mean to deny that they were.used, but he must say that they were not conveyed in a manner to create an improper feeling in the country , by tending to exasperate the manufacturers, and pro . ducing thereby incalculable mischief. It , tas impo litic to create in the minds of the unhappy per,ions who were the objeds of the Petitions, any such sen timents toward., the Government. The Hon. Gen- tletnan had talked of machin:•ry being laid waste, and of laying the ax.e tO the root of the evil ; ii was, indeed, laying the axe to the root of the tree to repeal the orders under the preSent circumstances of the Continent. The Government looked for ward most anxiously to the moment when the trade could be restored,' and the country relieved from the pressure• under which it I.lbours But would sentiments like those remove the pressure ? did not charge any Gentleman will) such %ie\ts, b ut if the charge of insensibility to the distresses of the people was encouraged, it mi.iht lead to dangerous consequences. His Right Hon. Friend, so tar front. want of attention to the represent.4tion, did, in hi.. hesring; stare, that the Petition just rusented by the Deputation from Bittningharn, disclosed - a_ Par ticular case of scrievance and hardship, and , as such, was entitled to consideration, but._•nosentitnent of the kind now imputed ever passed to his (Mr. P.) knowledge, or within his hearing, and no such sen timent, he trusted, was erver.airP:d by any Member of the Government-. Mr. TIeENEY thought the most corre& way would be, to avoid misapprehension, for the Right Honourable Gentleman to state what he really did say. Mr. ROSE again repeated, that he had no recol lealiOn of the words. - Certain he was, that Oleic was at the time no feeling in his mind that could convey disresped to the deputation. Such an im putation he must once again utteily deny. Mr. BROUGIiANI again assured the Right Hon. Gentleman, that he did not charge the wards as having been spok-n disrespefully, but they m ost certainly affordea to the Petitioners the commentary which they had put upon them. Mr. A. BARING tiustea, that one good'wOuld arise from the Peaitions; namely, an inquiry into the subj , fa of the Orders in-Council. Mr. LYTTLETON was not satisfied with the ex planation .which the Right Flonpurable Gentleman had given. He had not said a:iy any thing to re- move t unpre‘sion which the' figurative expres sion conveyed. The view of the policy as , taken by his Hotiourable Friend was correct, and he truq ed the lt , ght Hja. Gentleman would disclaim that view. Lord MILTON was of the sime opinion. • The Pe;ition was then brought up, lead, and aict on the table. COURT OF CHANCERY. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR gave lity ice .of motion re s;teding the Sttitors in Chancery for Wecip,esby se'nnight, founded upon what, pil,,sed in the . Cow mtttee. CO • INTRY TOKENS. Mr. HUMIS3OY asked whether the Right Ho nourable the Chancellorof the Exchequer intended to propose anyitneasure for reptes,ing the citcula lion of Local Tokens, which were now become too prevalent in the cnuntry ? ,If not, he shonld bring the subject forward, though he confes.wd it would be much better in the hands of Go vernment. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, hit hCinfetided to submit a measure !or checking .he circolation.

The HOuse then proceeded to call over the names of the delani!ers since the last call of the House. Several Menibers, who now. appealed in their paces, were excused. On the name of, Mr. W.

The QHANCELLOR of the h,:xbriEQ.OErt had risen, and was about to address the Speaker ; when Loud MILTON suggested, that Monday was one of the days on which, according to the regulation made by the House at the commencement of the Session; Orders of the Day out,,iht to have the pre cedence of Notices. The SPEAKER observed, that in all cases, Votes of Thanks preceded evvi other description of busi ness ; - and more especially; he was per:uaded, that on the present occasion, the House would not con descend to pay attention to any oiber qttes'itt'l until they had disposed of the motion, which was on the point of being submitted tO them. / The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then spoke to the following effea Sir, frorn the opportunity which on former occasions I hiwc had of cuUc drib the sentiments of the House on the conrse of pro-- ceeiing with respo& to o.drinesiionskiradir to that which lam about to submit to iheir consideration, I .agree withoyou Sir; that the House will always he disposed to give to them al undoubted priority.—... It gratifies me, However, to be.enabled to.assure the Noble Lord, that in my view of the present subina, •, . , it will not be necessary for me to &tali) the [louse at, any considerable length ; anticipating as I do, the 'mania:oils concutrence of all who hear me, in the motion with which I shall have the honour to conclude. (bear, hear,, hear!) Sr, I have SO (rd. , quently; during the short period of the last eighteen wombs, had the happiness to submit to this House a motion similar to the present, that I am justiti:•rh, from my experience on these Occasions: in confi dently expeaing that not, a single dissenting voice will be raised again•t my present proposition.—We may (Lifer in opinion,' Sir, on the general Tiestion of the manner in which the war on the Peninsula has been condltaed ; we may even dittlir in opinion on the-prOable effea of the late or of any other sf.ls-n -did achieVement of our brave troops—but it is im possible that we , shoul,i differ in opinion On the able conduct of our Gentfral, and.on the gallantry of our officers and men, with reference to the recent cc c,trretice: in which these qualities have been so successfully and 'so g'oriously exhbiled.= The HouSe will recoiled that at no great distance of time antecedent to the late distinguished achieve ment, the capture of Ciudad Rodrigo took piace,— Immediately after that capture, Lord Wellington meditated the direction of his forces toward,' 'that fortress, the acquisition of which it is now our ob ject to acknowledge. The arrangements for that purpose were made with great expedition by the Noble and Gallant Lord during the time that he kept his head quartets ; and so completely were the enemy deceived by the celerity and the secrecy of those arrangements, that they sere evidently unap ptised of the intended movement until it was too late for them to -entertain any hope that they might be able to collect a force adequate to the defeat of the objea which the British army had in view. ,As soon as his preparations were com plete, Lord Wellingtot proceeoed to Widaioz.—He arrived at Elvas on the ilth of Match. On the 61h he invested Radajoz. • On ihe 171 h, he broke ground, and pushed forward his operati o n s with all the rapidity which the utmost exertions 'of the offi cers and soldiers of his brave army enabled him to' do. The House are in possession of the details im mediatelysubsequent, from the pen of the Noble and gallant .officer himself; and I at sure that any attempt of miiie to re-state, them, will but tend to weaken the effect %Inch they are - calculated to pro duce. It appears, however, that the fire from the second Rarallel opened on the a lst of garch; and that practicable breaches having been effected in two of she hastions of the fortress, on the.6th,.at Lord Wellington gave .orders - to proceed to the. storm. The plan on that occasion was, th General Melon should art .ck-the Castle by escalade with the third 'division-that Major Wilson, v.ith a guard Irbm the 'fourth divi.ion, should attack . the ravelin of Sr. Roque ; and th at th e Honourable Ma jor -General Wyllie at the head of the fourth divi sion, and the liot.t division under Lieuienant-Co looel Barnard, should attack the brJach-s ,in the bastions: 'Lieuteilani:Genet - al Leith, .with. the left brigade of the division under Major-General Wal ker, was to make a false attack upoti two of the out-works. This fei - gocd attack was not expeCted to take effect, but directions Were given to Rim it into a real attack, if circumstances should. prove favourable. At ten o'clock ai night , the, attack commenced. The exerti o n s o f t he troops on tit it occasion were never exceeded---(Hoer They had to contend against an able Geoeral,• ,who Commanded the powerful. garrison t o n exhausted by the casualties arid privations of a long s ego, but capable of (Waking 'a determined resi.taoct: to then assadAnts, and prepared by every oreans to to resi•tanee the bt-.1 chance .of success, The con- flict, cont►nued fir above two horns, during which perii,d the enemy resisted with a gallantry wh , Z2ti it is due to them to say was as glorious as that of their assailants. It is undoubtedly true that the Ms iilanis were expOsld to infinitely greater dlnger ; but we owe it to the enemy to acknowledge toat they de fended thet»selsr,:s with the utmost spilt( apd deter mination, and in such a manner as to pi - wince". no inconsiderable effect. While this dreadful confi t:t was going on,in the breaches, General Pition suc- ceeded in his escalade, and established himself in the. Ca:Ale. Major Wilson c irried the ravelin 'of St. Roque: 1,44j0r General Leith pushed forwardMt 7 jor General Walker's . brigade, which colivertin 4 ihe feigned into a real attack, and aided by the 38th Regiment, and the 15ih Poriu4uese RegimeGt, toiced the barrier on the road of Ohcenca, and et- caladed the blstion of St. Vicente. 0 , ttoot , s be ing thu; estatoikbed in thy castle, which commands all the works of the tnwn, and the 4th IV4t divkion being formed aglin fgr the attack of the tie edits, all,resistance ceased, and at day-ligh next inorn , ng an unconditional u !'re oder look 1 .1,)ce. Sr, in c,tll-. ing the attention of the House to these tit:Lint az.iti disi ingui,hed exploits, it is impossible tor .me not to advert to the.loss \vitich-ont br ive ar:py sustained...— The House nt , .!st be aware, bo.A•eVer, that in tlu attack by storm at such a fortress as Baciajoz, the , . , kss must necessarily be severe. The Fionsa must ; al r Se be a' are how important it was to loie rd 614 in the achievement . of the objel. .1 . ! we considertye advance of SOtalt; with a vi ew to:loeuip: the relief of . Hadajoz; We may easily conceftp, that ha;,l the tisault been del 4ye d , i n O r d e r to renter the breacheS more praMicA e, a much lwaVi er Ids:i I might have been Sustained by the \ douhie effort Clint -'wOuld then' haVe been necessary to repel the ad- . winch - It army on the one hand, andtd reduce the forress on the other. Sir, I stall forbear frOro dwelling, with partictklr distinction, on the names - ot any of the gallant officers who acquitted thern selVes so nobly in this. brilliant a ffair, because they -ate so ntimerous, the instances of . he:roic !all'antry were-so genoral (as indeed the liSt of casualties hut too sufficiently- testifies), that it would he in brain for me to attempt to do justice to all, and f am nn.. willing, by omitting any, to elinose myself tothe charge Of invidiousness. I conce ve that ,he House_ moat be fully impressed with the importance of this operation. What the ultimate result may be it is inTOssibje accurately to predial ; but ti.ere is every rr••ason to believe that the British movement towards B tdajbz, attrading the notice of Marshal Soult, pv,6 to the Spaniards in the South of Spain the means of approaching Seville, and there can be little doubt but to this circumstance, General Ballastetos is -in debted for the opportunity of marching into Seville, in consequence of the &stUu e state of defence into which it necessarily fell ' I re eat, Sir, that it- is impossible to anticipate the . conseque• cis of all these proceedings, but I feel justiti'e I in auguring most favourably from them, and in cherishing the -Or:e -t-mon that they will be produtlivv in the South of Spain of events in the higheo dey - re alhvielous to the common cause. The House and the cotiAry - Will, I trust, find some c , tristilation for the s.. Vere loss•which this gloriwus acquisition h.,s occasioned, in the important eff-,:.6l which it is cakulAted to pro duce on the character and pro') tble renal , of the avoul contest in which we are engaged. It is but just that w e s h ou ld express the grati7ral which we feel to those to whom. such great national ach:antagei had been obtained ; and I therefore move, bir, in the firSt instance; a " That the Thanks of this House he given to General the Eall of 'Wellington, for the gre t 2,hi lity and, military skill manifested by him at the recent siege of Badjoz, by which that impor tant fortress was wrested froth the possession cf the enemy." , - Lord MILTON Was anxious that..the interruption whiCh had been given to the Right Hun. Gentle man shoold not be .nisconstrued into at , y hostility to the motion. On the contrary it met with his be4rty concurrence. His object had been to, ask an, Hon. Gentleman what course hie meant to pursue with r , .sp.eLl to a motion of which he had given notice for that evening; and he, acknowledged that he should have been more regular had he done so be fore the Right Hon. Gentleman rose to makel►is present proposition. General TARLETON seconded the motion of-tho_ Chancellor of the Exchequer. He had little to add io what had been said by the Right Hon. Gentle man, except to ob3erve that the troops who had in vested Badajoz lahoufed ucder difficulties which the Right Hon. G , :ntleman had om tied to state. DIE: weather' had bten \most unpropitious ; and for seven clays the British sulliers woiked up to their knees in water. Their perseverance, however, was urre milted. Their brilliant achievement d;cl the highest honour to the British my,--an honour in which-he and all who wore his Majesty's. unifUrm, shared ; and he was persuaded, that no other si . ildiers in the universe would have c. , ptuied such a sirourg lortieis in so thort a period. ( Colonel DiLLON concurred in charaEierizing the e% ploit as one a the most brilliant that had ever been achieved ; and divelt wrongly on the impor tance of having drawn theoenerny out of Sevi.le, Which kid been their grand dep6t in the South ut" Spain. Sir J. S. Yoaxc did not thitik that the Thanks of Parliament were a sufficient remuneration for sych services. In his ()pilau the 'louse should : declare that Lord Wellington otfght to have a, Mar altars Staff, and to be pliced.on the list of Princes. General MAT - rucw coincided in gvery word of praise 'which had. beet: uttered by the Right Hon...
