t ilensions for the consequences that might result to themselves, It was aL4o material to Lord Melville, if lie should be acquitted of .the crimes imputed to him, that no impression should remain on the pub lic mind,. as if the Witnesses might not have given full testimony from the influence of their personal apPrehensiOns. ' He hoped and trusted the House would support its own intentions, and direLt the ATTORNEY' GENERAL to stay proceeding in the Civil Suit against Mr. Trotter; taking iC for granted that the House would adopt that course, he should not objeCtto the third readinA of the fill. The Bill was tli , th read'a third time and passed . ; and Mr. 'WHITBREAD ordered• to carry it to the Lords. Sir WM. ELFORD then moved, That so much of. the Circler of the 2gth of April, direeling the ,AT TORNEY..GENERAL to institute Civil Proceedings, as related to the Civil Suit against Alexander Trotter, be diheitarged. A short conversation then took place between Mr. WHITBEEAD, Mr; KINNAIRD, the ATTORNEY ( 4:,NCRAL, Air. WILLIAMS WYNNE, Lord HENRY PETTY, and Sir Wm. ELVQRD, the result of which was the withdrawing of his Motion by the Hon. Baronet, and the - adoption of an-intermediate course suggested by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, which was agreed to.in the shape of a Motion, that no proceed ings should be had in the Civil Suit against Alexan der Trotter before the commencement of next Ses- EiiQq of Parliament. clicißeti OF SCOTLAND.

An -Account was ordered, on the Motion Of Mr. WILLIAMS W•irtit42., of the number of Lunatics arid Inlnne Persons now confined, and in custody in the diOrent Gaols, Houses of corration, and Houses Of. Industry, in England. CAPTAIN WRIGHT.: Mr: IV DIM.11:1, in conseqtience of the no• tice that had, been given by his Hon. Friend (Sir Stiwgy Sturm) yesterday, vise to move for Copies of tote; Com liondence of Government relative, to 14? Case of Captain Wright.. When lie first took il.nt liberty of mentioning thosubjeft to the House, • lie dhtfott •ihether lle should conclude by moving 'tor' the Papers, or. confine himself to a. - Statement that, attract the attention of the House. His roson for h.tving the latter course was,:be oak: Ito thought the Papers, wherrrooroduced, would not show the Government and the'Country in. any a , .iyantageous light. It was ' not creditable to seek .reth•ess 'mt!atit, thraugh. the intercession or 'mediation of other PoWerS, when it ought to have been insisted upon as .a matter of titre& right. 'Kit his Hon.. 'Friend (Sir SIuNFY SbiTin), the pl iant Officer en the bench behind him, 'was of opi- I - Cwil; that the produ&ion 'of these Papers Would be of service to Captain Wright,. by publishing to the (2 retry and Etimpe; the circumstances of his case; and, 'with this view, he meant to conclude With a Motion' for the Papers. The' question to consider was, tieq, what was necessary for this Country to do in order to maintain its dignity and indepen— tence ; and secondly, what *as necessary to be done with a view to the relief of Captain Wright. s to - what was necessary to the Country, be should only say, that if. we were once to confess we durst not retaliate, it would be au acknoWledgment of in feriority, which 'Might in the end be fatal. As to the second objet, if we were to do to the French as they did' to. us, it would have an erica on the feelings .of the Public in France, arid on the Mill tary, and Bonaparte-was pot out of the reach of Willa opinion. Besides, lie might now entertain more generous feelings than firtmerly having at tained the summit of his ambition, he was alive to fame, and not insensible to reproaeh.--'- 1. - 16 could not he insensible to the reproach of haVing been aeluated by motives of personal re set-quiet:a ag.y.inat a gallant Officer w he first knew at Acre, by the share he had in the 'ever' lo rions and qv:mural* exploit in defence of that place. The French Ruler may therefore, either from the Influence of twat generous feelings; or the dread of the odium that he would 'tncounter in' France if the Officers who might fail into. our hands should be treated with, the same' rig Our as Captain IVright. be induced to alter his cOntluft to that gal lant Office:. The Right Honourable -Gentleman concluded by moving, lc That there be . lahl before tne flon4,Copies of all Correspondence Which may dove tliken place between His Majesty's Govern , meet and the.

Dever reached the present Ruler• of France.. He should therefore, with the leave of' the House, read a doeument et% that subject. And here he should say, that the General who tint denounced Captain Wright' to the French Government, might have had a wish to promote his views with his Government, by a display of his zeal in its cause, 'lll6 document he alluded to was a Letter from an Officer of the Vincego, giving an account of her capture, and the',subsequent treat ment of the Captain and Crew. This Letter bad been written by an Officer of the Vessel, and un questionably without any view to the use now made of it.. • [The gallant Officer here read the Letter, stating the eircumstaticeS of the adion after which the Vin cego had been captured, and the manner in which Captain -Wright had been separated from his ship's company, and the men from their Officers, as well as the confinement of the latter on their arrival at Paris seven weeks in the Temple, three weeks of .which they were in solitary. confinement. • But when he came to that part of the Letter which bore testimony to the qualities and principles of Captain Wright, the Hon. and gallant, Officer was so over powered by the weight of his feelings, that he was some time deprived of articulation, and in the end obliged to break off abrupdy.] The CHANCELLOR of 'the EXCHEQUER had no sort of obje&ion to the produdion of the Pau 'pets movethfor by the Right Honourable Gentleman. As there vi'as no objeaion to their prodtiolion, it was not desirable to make any observation upon them in the present instance. When the Papers should be on the 'Table the House would be able to judge of what had been done, as well as whether any fur ther steps were necessary. But, as the Motion then stood, it appeared to him that some additional Pa pers were necessary in erder to bring the matter fully before the House. The Motion was then agreed to, as also, on the Motion of the CITANCELLoR of the 'EXCHEQUER, that there be laid before the House a Copy of the Letter of WilliaM Marsden; Esq. to Edward Cooke, Esq: dated June 17, 1864; also, of the Letter of Edward Cooke, Esq. to William Marsden, Esq. dated August 28, 1804, in answer to the former. A Message from the Lords informed the House, that their Lordships had agreed to the Indemnity Bill, and the Bill lor Continuing the Proceedings on the. Impeachinent of Lord Melville notwithstand ing any Prorogation or I)issohition of Parliament: • • NAVAL, INQUIRY. Sir Alsrintrw HAN() ND, pursuant to notice, moved, 'that there be laid before the House a Copy of the Memorial of the Commissioners of the Navy in an- saver .to the Third Report of the Commissioners of NuVal Inquiry. The SPEAKER. observed, that it was usual to allow Hon. Members, when atfeaed by any particular •charge, to be heard in their justification, or to pre sent a Petition on the subject. It was also compe tent to the House to order any Official Document fionl any Department of the Bxecutive Government. But it would be for . the House to consider how far the Paper moved for by the Hon. Bart. being a Me morial froM the Commissioners of the Navy, was or was not of either deicription. Sir ANDREW notorto observed, by what had Hien from the Chair, that his. Motion was irregu lar, and expressed his willingness, either to move for the Paper as a Petition, or a Letter. , . . . _ UR; CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thollght, that the. regular mode would be to move for a Copy of the Letter of the Admiralty inelosing the Me morial of the Commissioners of the Navy. The SFEAKER agreed, that in that shape Paper would come under the description of an Oificial Document. „ Mr. W. DlcKtlisotz stated the reason wny tne Admiralty Commissioners had not laid the Memo rial before the f'louse to be, that it was a , Memorial from the Commissioners of the Navy, to the. House, transmitted to them for their inspeClion,. and they had thought it would, come more regularly before the House from the Commissioners of the Navy. Mr, KINNAnto had heard with pleasure what had fallen from the Chair. A Memorial could net be presented as a Petition, because no Prayer was to be foand in it. He thought it rather extraordinary, that the Third RepOrt of .Natal Inquiry should have been two years on the Table without any notice having been taken of it and that now, on the day preceding the expected separation of Parlia went, a Motion should be made for the produ&ion of a Memorial in answer to it. This Motion (night to have ben made earlier in the Session, when the whole subjed should have been taken into consi deration. Were the , Commissioners of the Navy preparing Aniwers to all the Reports ?—Did they mean to answer the SiKth Report, which contained serious charges against them, by Memorial more manly and e:in lid way would have been to have moved,. That the Report be taken into consi d(Ta ion . Sir ,J DREIV ILIMONP repeated the reasons assigned by him on a formor occasion for not having brought the subjeEt form , ar,l before. He had lost no time after the Report had, been laid - before the House, in acquainting the Myst Lord of the Admi ralty GI it the Navy Board wished to have the Charkts upon them'folly inve , tigated; but he could not obtain his consent to lay the Memorial before the i-louse. .11r,•. GIT,ES observed, that when the Me morial 1 , :.A been 1 ui bcfbre the First Lord of the Admiralty, in answer to the First Report, it.was considered by hint io offnsive, that he said, if it were I:tid l:x•;%,r • f flouse he should look upon it as a , _ _ Vhe (Jig ',LOR cif the EXCHEQUER. — 'c Then if lie ..;ft he would have looked upon the produaion 01. the Memorial in answer to the First Report ay a pl%•ional insult, that was a reason why the 0 - ,aunit,sioners of the Navy should not consult him on the subject, of the Memorial in answer to the Third' Report." Sir C. M, PQLF, thought it necessary to guard the House and the Public against the efilia. of Neely ing a Memorial' which was h yhut an assertion of per sons aglinst Nom serious 'Charges existed fir neglect of their duty. He did not mean to object to the Mutton, but the Papers moved for contained only the assertions of the Commissioners of the Navy, and not on oath.

We are sorry that we are not able to confirm, from official authority, the report of the capture of the Works°. No accounts whatever have reached the Admiralty upon the subject: The account brought by the Lisbon Mail, of the Rochefort Squadron having sailed again with a considerable number of Troops on board, is unfounded, because they were' reconnoitred in tint port by our Block ading cluadroti on the f..)Bth of June.
