severe, btiOtre language • of this Petition rendered it impossible for him not to accord with the semi. ments of his Hon. Friend (Mr. Windiono)f first of all there was . grdsi offence in the libel ; the sort of apology Made at the Bar did not do away that of. fence a the Petition aggravated it. Ho asked whe ther there was not, in the whole tenor of the Pct . !. - lion, Something accusatory ant' defying dis. tf apirrove of the language of his Hun, Friend (Wr. Sittertdin);• who, in'his'zeal for, the liberty of the press, debcribea this paragraph - as mere milk and water. A More gross, lihcl he had never seen. — It was : nut merely a transgression of the buundS ttf decency in the waftpth of discussion, ho a dired attack' on the charader - of the House in its judicial , . capacity, saying they were intemperate j uttges, and When an appeal Wasofrered they gave it a-presinp. tuous negative. knew ~ot what amendment his Hot , . Friendintended to pr, , pf,se. Instead of tieing discharged, lie %VMS of 01 iniort that the offender should he sent so Newgare but he would' eontent himself, in the first instance, with giving a negaative 1,0 the Motion. Mr. CANNING th , urght that those who had brought tide matter bef're the llouse, having on a ; former night declared themselves ready to acquiesce in a discharge without any 'punishment, could not now- consistently call for extraordinary severity :sorely because the Petition was mat worded' as they. wa bid h ave wi s hed. Ile claimed credit for his Atglii'llon. Friend (the Chancellor of the Exchir. quer), Who, at the time when those who brought the matter to a vote would have been contented to s atiety the . censure of the House With a sirtiple dis. Missal,'repteientrti the necessity of a stronger pro.; rending. It appeared: that the Petitioner had fallen nn 'topics that excited great indignation against him. The ive he had tryde of the Speaker's was, iniwever, excusable, considering the use that had been made of that name to aggraVatc his Original offence. He tfefied the Hop. Gentleman - to 611eW anyone disrespetiful expression in she-Petition, ,or any one the omission of which might not have been :static matter of censure against him. There may lie Oredutidancy of- worth.; but : thai was a fault commkin to the Petitioner with the NkTriters'of other Daily and Weekly Papers. A new era was now to be found with respect so theie writers. If the wily Pre ss Wias to be checked, it must be checked without partiality,and theweekly publications must iie restrained at the same time. if a general cla.. moor wits to be raised against the Liberty of the Preis, let' it be recollend with whom it began. He did , not conceive it wrong that in looking back fu the bold and meritorious straggle Lord Melville, and 'Aloe Orineded with him, had made in times Me) , critical, this perSon . shOuld feel gratitnde for bet% preserved in his humble station, and' he may think himself entitled, vainly and presumptutmOy, perhaps, to some merit for his own ,assistaoce in this great i,ervice. The faets were on record,which constituted the groundi IA- the credit fie gave Lord, Melville, and thtitigh Lad Melville had fallen a iittitn,. there was nothing wrong in doing justice to the iyoutintitr of his charaiter after the vote of =soft!. Ile was sorry this discourse tkas duted ; jlstice, with wliateverlorge it was admi. nisterrd, should be adminiSterediMpartially: Enough would be done in this instande '.if no censure at all had been passed. Mr, S RIDANNis unwilling, in the s li g ht es t' degree, to run cOunter to the' extreme latitude he had ak*sys professed to allow to the Press. II eumleinned the unseemly threat of those in, power 10 Clip the Liberty Of the PreFs, which they may at 7 tempt on any slight ptetence. Eiji Hon. Friend Were justified in dr. parting from their Original lenity . When that lenity was abweit. He had said. this Li bel,, published by this person, was comparatively mild, and he was orty hail been noticed, because When the pruning knife was once brought into use, he feared it would he most used thOse who would • cut of a branch under pretence of lopping extiheran.

The Petitioner had &hewn him the PAitiony anti he had draWn his pen across all this exceptionable hatter, which some -other adviser had persuaded hitn to adopt. Tlic mon had modesty enough ; underihese circumstances, not to ask him to present the Petition; but he had had the, gond fortune to fall on the worthy . 111ronet. He could not : ellow. that the merit or any laws be. longed tG Ministers, or theitasiticiat;7.s, hut to Par. liainent alone; he tooktredit to Opposition for de rating the fabricated Charges of plots and:conspira. cies in 1794, and declared, that it a pers'on brought to the 13 :if - ,IT instance of Adminittration 11110-Uld seek some support for himself by calling on Oppo. sition, and claiming their support on the ground of ha vie% maintained the same principles, he Would . reject that man ervally as the prtsent.

The only ohjedion to the ;tan was, that it referred to certain topics, and in ri way that 'was nut necessary.

He, on the contrary, thought it is strong reason for the House to be diffident of its own judgment, and unwilling to refer every thing to it. The Hon. , Cientletnen intended to vote against bringing the Petitioner to the Bar, with a view to 'make biro present another Petition. fie- was sutprised to hear such doCtrine from the other side of the ii„ ube , r fi e kn e w no restraint on the right of peti tioning the House, provided it was donsr in proper terms, anti there, was nothing in the terms of this Petition in the 6Enallelt degree disrespectful. There was no one passage of it that tartlet:ion the House, or any part of it. It certainly did refieCt eel tarn Societies, formed with a view to the destruc. non of the Constitution ; but unless any Gentlemen Chose 'ta identify themselves with those Soeieiies, they 'could not consider this a eifleetioo upon them, or 'call for the resentment and vengeance of the House din consequence. Mr. SHeRIDnN in explanation observed, that as the Hon. 'Gentleman had said that there were eutue p ar ts of his condriCt on a former occasion which he should ever remtniber, it would be jest in hint to he accurate in hi; recollection of them.

It was not to investigate the minute pee.. c.ttfillua of inferior Office, but to detei.t the ctithjoal negligence and corrupt connivance, on the part of the persons at' the head of the different' Depart silents that they had bei.n appointed. They had. to look power in the face, to examine the condutt of pet suns high in ifiCe, and to report' thereon to the House.

This was a material distintliort. lie had said that the Commissioners of Naval Inquiry had been appOinted under great aisadvantage, amid had eneutsuiered discouragements.

A change of Administration afterwards , took place, and the Right Honourable Gentleman seas placed at the he a d, of His Majesty's .Gatiereineot ; :tvhen Die .de.. elated, that on looking minutely into the circum stances of the case, all he had. heard Rnd seen had confirmed him in hie former /opinion. :Yet, notwirli. standing, the Commisiirmers had virtuously perse vered in the perfermance of their d4ty.
