IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE- OF. LORDS, FDISRUARY I t. 1824. Their- Lordships met. at five o'clock, when the Bishops of-RocuEsTEst'and CARLISLE took the oaths and their seats. Mr. HOlmis presented the Report Of, the Corn , n3issioners of the Port of Arundel. Mr. Mason presented an account of salaries and • pensions granted by the East India Company. Earl SPENCER presented a petition from the Protestant Dissenters of Northampton, praying for • the , repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts. A similar petition was presented by Lord KING from Clapham and . Colhampton. Lord CLIFDEN presented petitions from two s - ,Parishes in the county of Wexford, in favour of the Claims. He undeistood a petition had - been. presented . in the HouSe of Commons by a Member of , 04,4 Hcase, on behalf of Dissenters in favour of this c.laitta, and perhaps be should present • one of a similac..naaur e in this House. If the pe titioners did not separately succeed, he hoped the • two classes would unite, and then probably their • Lordships would have to sing on a different key. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved the order ' of the day for the second reading of the Bill respect ing Guile. 'CORN LAWS. ayottns of CLEVELAND wi s h e d, be . Op the ; - Htiuse proceeded with the Order of the- 15 aY,s .to ask the Noble Duke at the head . of- his .Majesty's Government, which he trusted his Grace_ .would not think him presumptuous in . doiogi, - -4114 which he - could pledge himself he did • 'from ats motive of curiosity, whether as the Noble DukC;ii*'ihe first day of the meeting of Parliament, had nuidii'declaratio n in that House, that it was the intention of his Majesty's Government, to move the 'renewal of . that Bill or temporary Act which was 'Bill. -- (Cries o f " No, no.") dendminated the .Corn He., - •;vas sure the Noble Duk e had stated thatit was the,intentioo of his. Majesty's Government to bring he admitted iu a Bill on .th e -same principles, b ut with alt era ti ons a nd amendments : and h e (the Noble Marquis) -f e l t ex tr e mely happy in havi ng h eard that declaration, because it-conveyed to him an idea that ' it eras th e i nt e nt i on o f hiS Majesty's Minist ers to pro secuterthat measure much in the same way in which it was, taken up by the Ministry of th e last Parlia- Menj. impression' and he tru ste d it •-oras mot a mistaken one, for lie was sure if the present 7.67. " 41e nt acted on the same principle in carrying .fforward .t h e i r 'measures that the last Government he had not a doubt but that they would re , s.eeive generalsupport. The question he begged to sub “4"it was,whether it was the intention of his Majesty's -;Government to bring forward such a measur e—to 'c'bring forward, he would call it, a Corn Bill ; previous - 4. 40 the taster Recess. )).uke of WELLINGTON could not state ,at what period this measure wouldbe brought forward. liqn.:.Gent, whose peculiar duty it was A?•Ativgakauehameasure to the other House was not "W a Mirnb er 4 that-lilouse ; and under such cir cumstances. he could not give an answer to the ques • tie)) of the Noble Marquis Lord rE YNHAM - before the House went into • the Order 'of the Day, begged , also to draw their ' - inttOltinn to the state.,of the laboireis and cultivators c ol' ianq in En land because he consider ed it 1f4,11i,, tsilegi§late respecting the Game Laws until tneir . c9444iiii;:Witil inquired into, and until it was ascertained how that condition could baitnproved.--,(Hear, hear, hear.) He therefore ;Agave . . notice of a moti on to be made on the 3d of -;:March next, that the House would appoint a Select SALE OF GAME. The Marquis of SALISBURY, in moving the se cond reading of the Bill for the sale of Game, did net think it necessary to occupy the House with many observation's, as the subject had been repeatedly be fore their Lordships; indeed he should not havt' thoUght it necessary to have said a word,had he net un derstood that his Noble Friend opposite (Lord Wham chile) intended to move that a Committee should , be appointed to consider the whole subject of the Game. Bill. It was unnecessary for him to advert to what had.passed on a former occasion, in consi dering the appointment of a committee on this sub ject. It was now some years ago since he had had the honour in another place to move for a Committee to inquire into this very thing, which with some difficulty he had obtained. The result of the consideration of the subject on • that occasion convinced, lie believed, all who lent themselves to that consideration, that the sale of game would continue as it. had continued, to the greatest extent. Nay, he believed, one even went so far as: to say that game was thrown away, because no price could be procured for it adequate to a remuneration for the hazard incurred in get ting . Report of • that Committee. Wag communicate .to this Ilense, and wider such eire4itifiOs',,,nriless any . of *their Lordships,. were;; say a national .chatige had... taken, PrF:l4K — e r k • • • place, ',he .pnsidered Lit perfectly : nnriecessary, to. go further intQ., 41e ~oue, Again,should-.a Com mittee be appointed, he.did not see how it Avouldbe, possible for that Committee to render-the' BiWprac-, ticable in all points. Likewise, if a.Cortimittee. Was:, to be appointed to go , into the whole subjeCts,Pthe Game Laws, and to,examine witnesses froth . every part of the country, it would be totally impossible to bring forward any Bill that could be passed during these SeSsions ; and as poaching had got to such au extent as to render it imperative that some legislative steps should be taken instanter, he hoped the Noble , Lord would not persist. in. his intention to move for his Committee, but give his.: assent to the-Bill now proposed, because he was -sure that under such an act no : respectable tradesman would be found to purchase game of a poacher. - Lord WHARNCLIFFE was very. far from bein , opposed to the principle of his Noble Friend's Bill, but he was quite satisfied that - if carried, so far from advancing the principle of the general Bill, it would retard it. What was - the . object of his. Noble. Friend's ? To legalize the sale of game by. persons qualified by licence, so' that, instead of termi nating all monopolies, a new one was created, ten times snore grinding than those at present existing ; and conveying this most objectionable imputation upon their Lordships, that they would do that for a base and sordid motive, which they would refuse to do on sound and liberal princiPles.. But they were not the great landowners of the- country, who were anxious for, his Noble - Friend's ,Bill—it was another and a different class of landowners who were in terested in its success—who looked to it as a source. from whence to draw the means 'of defraying-the expenses of their game. Did his Noble 'Friend imagine that- the-IncastireE"then before their Lord ships would have the slightest effect in diminish ing poaching,. Which ?lid grown to such a for midable extent ? If he did he would find him self grievously mistaken. Of the alarming pitch, to which poaching had been carried, their Lordships might form some idea by a reference to what had taken, place in the North of England within the last few years, and of which the Game Laws were the foun-* dation. :.Of the system to which poaching had been` reduced, and of the daring manner in which it was followed up, .• innumerable examples might be cited. The -poachers, in open day divided the country into districts, and then proceeded to carry their criminal plans into execution with incredible daring. One instance, however, he begged leave to state to.thA House. Oa the Ist Sept. last, in full moon-light; a gang of poachers, amounting to forty in number, assembled in the neighbourhood of Sir John Ram say's . Park, (near Pomfret, we believe.) They made no secret of their business, arranged their plans, marched along the road to a given point, and then' proCeeded upon their guilty work. ' Sir J. Ramsay, at the head' of fifteen gamekeepers and atisistants, - hearing the firing, directed his footsteps towards`the, gang. On his approach, one of the poachers called out to his companions to " cease shooting- I to draw the shot from their guns, and to load with ball ;" upon which, Sir J. Ramsay very properly retired, and left the poachers in uninterrupted 'possession of his preserves.—( Hear, hear.)—Another, a more re cent and a more fatal incident, demanded their Lord ships' attention; he meant the murder of one of Sir George Armitage's watchers, Who was shot dead by a gang of poachers. Did . not the outniges, of which these were specimens; loudly call for arevi sion of the whole system of our, Game Laws, in or der, if possible, to terminate them, rather than a partial and trifling measure, the effect of which would be to draw their Lordships' attention from the gene-. ral subject? For these.reasons, and for these only, he 'was opposed to the bill before their Lordships. The Earl of FALMOUTH could not for the life of him conceive how his Noble Friend could e - xpect by his Bill to terminate . or even to check poaching. On the contrary, to license the sale of game, would only render concealment more easy. He should,-however, not oppose the second reading, of the Bill. The Duke of RICHMOND thought any altera tion of the existing laws would be for the better. The Earl of CARNARVON condemned . the whole of the present code of Game Laws, and mainly supported the Bill. He hid witnessed, with great pain ,the mai)! depredations that lose out of the Game Laws ; but althongh ityVas.tlie fashion to impute to them the, great increase of crinie,,he felt satisfied that it.was to be accounted foron other grounds—thost of the general distresS . that still. pre vailed throughout the country. Hi could speak, in particular, of his own neighbourhood, • where, throughout the winter; scarcely any employment was to be found by an unmarried man. Such a, state of things naturally led to a great intrieie . of poaChing. He had e ndeavoured "to, put an end' - to it in his, own .parish by giving employment to all the'younemen, and although several of them worked in his park, where there were, at all events, a sufficient number of pheasants to tempt them, he believed he had never lost one, while the case was very different in other parishes. On these grounds he should pause befor e he rejected the Bill ; or, at all events, before he apposed its going into a Committee. Lord TEYNHAM should certainly rote for the second reading- of the Bill—believing it, in its im portant features, to be a most desirable meaSure. The Marqui s of LONDONDERRY meant to vote.for the seco n d rea di n g of the Bill now befor e the t House,i,i but, i n so, do i ng, h e w i s hed to be under_ bo pled ge to su pport the motion for a ppointing as a Commit tee. stood The Earl of DARNLEY -observed, that many years since he had argued on the necessity of intro ducing s ome such measur e as th at now b e fore the House, because he considered:nothi ng could be more monstrotis than to prohibit, t! of game bylaw, When that law was continually.` and openly ViOlated. He would, therefore, vote for the second reading of the Bill—whether or not that Bill might afterwards require modifications ; and he did not wish - to , be ailderatood as in. any way objecting to the-proposi . esa i ii iii Midi ti,,,.;41 ui t:oitimi laiVl tion of the Noble Lord (Wharncliffe). A Noble Lord had alluded to the state of distress in tht• country, but he hoped their Lordships, and espe cially the Noble Duke, would consider how much worse in this respect was the state of Ireland, an d he trusted that a favourable ear would be lent to proposition on this subjeet,'which he intended shortl to submit to the House. • _ _ The Marquis of SALISBURY, in reply, ob served, that his object was to put, an end to the existence of a horrid state of war between the pea santry and the Jandlords. His intention was, liefore the close of the Session, to propose a Bill which might, at least, give to overseers the power of better employing the poor. The Earl of CLIFDEN would give his Sup port to the Noble Marquis, and also to the Noble Baron. On the question being put, Lord %VHARN CLIFFE moved, as an amendment, that the Bill he read a second time on the 20th of March next. But the Noble Lord said he should not object - to the Bill being now read, if the Noble Marquis -would not proceed farther with it for the present. The Marquis of SALISBURY could not be sa tisfied to give any such undertaking. • The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, as the most desirable object was to ascertain the amountof crime under the game Laws, and the chief cause of stich'erimeit appeared to him that the proper course' _would be the' appointment of, a Committee, 'He should, however, Vote for the second reading of. the Bill;, because, as far as it .went,, it was calculated to- good. „., • _Tbe Maiqttis 4:SALISBURY:. said; :considering the great probabilityeithatitiwould be _possible to bring • the. Co/mitt Pei tti any-decision during the . pre sent Sessiori, he.horied that- thOse 'Who thought some measure; stiCh• as 'the Bill proposed, Would be exPe- - client; would' vote for the second reading. Strangers were ordered to withdraw; and the House . then divided on the amendment of the Noble Lord (Wharncliffe), When the numbers Were _ _ Contents Non-Contents... Majority,...... —2 On our re -admission to the Bar, we found the Noble Lords conversing - at the table. Lord WHARNCLIFFE observed, that as some Noble Lords who.-.voted-for the second reading of the Bill advocated the appointment of a Commit tee; he should forthwith proceed to move it. Lord FALMOUTH suggested the propriety of a short delay. The LORD CHANCELLOR then said, " The question is, is it your Lordships' pleasure that a Select Committee be appointed to consider the state of the laws relating to game, and to report thereon to the House r The Bar was then cleared fora division, but (lu ring our absence we understand the notion was agreed to. • At severe o'clock, their Lordship's adjourned.

GOWER broughf up a petition frein inhabitants of the Mauritius, relative to the conti nuance of the Slave Trade. TEST AND CORPORATION OATHS. Mr. J. SMITH rase, for the perpoSe of present ing a petition from the Catl.-,lics of Ireland, praying for the repeal of the Test and Corporation. Oaths. This petition had no less than three thousand signa tures, and contained the most truly christian senti ments, such as he thought the House must-ep prove of. Those sentiments had • made great progress in this • country during the last few years, and the right for every man to worship God as he pleased was generally conceded. The viola tion of this right had led to the most serious mis chiefs., and to the she:iding of Oceans of blood, and torrents of tears.--(Cheers)—He had had occasion when presenting another petition a short time•since, to state, that the Dissenters came to that Mouse wholly unconnected with the Roman Catholics ; in their application to Parliament, they wished to confin e themselves to their own case. There could, therefore be .no doubt that the petition was not got up by concert. It was the spontaneons effort of the Catholics themselves to endeavour to do away with th o se restrictions which oppressed the Dissenters of England.—(Cheers.) The petition was then brought up, and on the motion, that it be printed, MriA.,DAWSON said, that the petition then -before the House, proved most satisfactOrily that the religious prejudices formerly entertained agains , the Protestant Dissenters and Protestants of Ireland. by the Catholics, are abating, if not wholly ex tinguished. They professed their satisfaction that tin Dissenters of Ireland had been relieved from thos, disqualifications which were passed .on the Englisl Dissenters, and they pointed out the fact that the admission of the Dissenters to those privileges fifteen years ago, which were still denied to the Dissenter,. of England, so far from injuring the Protestant Church in Ireland, it had rather contributed to in security. By their wise liberality the Irish Parlia ment had put an end to the religious jealousies pre viously subsisting, and since then the utmost har mony had prevailed. The petition ought not only to be printed, but tobe circulatedthrough the kingdom. It could not fail to tend towards the liberalization of the whole British empire.. This would be a happy country if religious dissensions. were done away with : we should have able men in the Cabinet, and not have to go about seeking for a Lord of the Trea sury or a Chancellor. We would not have to ask . whether a person was a Catholic or a Protestant before placing him in the-office he was not eompe- . tent -to fill. (Hear, hoar.) Nor • would we have to seek in the ranks of the Army for a first Lord of the Treasury. (Cheers.) This religious feeling enters into and destroys the . ,Executive,. the criterion for eligibility being,— Is he' a Catholic or an Anti- Catholic."—(Cheers.)—And after all it. was not re, ligious_ feeling, but the semblance of - religious feel ing.---(Cheers,)—A semblance which:-was a pass .port -to every hononr.--(Cheers.)—The petition -was one,:-the sentiments 'of . , which he hoped -would be *idely disieminated. - • Mr. Ji SMITE! presented siMilar petitions from Chipley, and frOM paiishin 'Dorsetshire. ' ALEXANDER DAWSON presented three peti tions from Athlone, from three parishes in the county o: Louth, and frorna parish in Cavan.

Mr. HOBHOLISE—Sir, in presuming to offer myself to the notice of the House upon this occasion, I am pecu liarly well aware that I need all, and indeed more than the usual, indulgence—that usual indulgence which has, I am proud to say, and grateful to acknowledge, been fre quently shown to me in this House. For, how ever often similar votes have been proposed to this House, —however often the nation has had occasion to express its gratitude for services performed by land or by sea, by our brave countrymen in arms, I am peculiarly aware that ex cept upon one occasion, when Mr. Sheridan moved a vote of thanks to the English Volunteers—au occasion, which, as far as that distinguished person is con cerned, is no precedent for an ordinary man like myself -- I say, Sir, I am most fully aware that such vote of thanks has invariably proceeded from his Majesty's Ministers. At the same time, I can not help thinking, and it often upon previous occa sions has struck me, when thinking upon the subject, without any immediate interest in it myself, that it would be preferable, if occasionally those proposals came from Members of Parliament nut at all connected with the King's Government ; for surely if those votes have any va lue at all they have it because they are supposed to be the unaffected expression of the national opinion.— ' It is impossible we can conceal from ourselves that although, in general, propositions of this nature, when made by Ministers, have found a ready echo in the bo soms of all who hear them ; yet it is quite clear that Ministers come forward sure of standing on an eminence, and secure of influence, which no Mem ber of Parliameiit can command. It also, Sir, ap pears to me a misfortune, that we who are opposed to the King's Ministers, should have cut from under our feet that most pleasing and proud opposition in which I now stand, and that we should be perpetually called upon to do that which`we think, in the discharge of our slaty, we ought to do, to find fault with what we consider wrong, without giving occasionally our just tributes of praise to those gallant persons to whom the country is indebted for her glory and renown. I cannot help thinking, that for the sake of the individuals themselves, whose good fortune it is to be the object of our praise, it would be better if the usage of the House were occasionally departed from, because it is quite clear, that ' under the present practice those gallant individuals who command:our fleets and armies, and arc therefore the object of national gratitude, must be dependent upon acci dents and vicissitudes, to which one of renown ought not to be subject. If those who do their duty to their coun try in the field of battle are to be subject to the charges-- to the tricks—and to the intrigues of Cabinets--if they are to be subject to the vicissitudes of political fortune, it is impossible for us to say; that the hero of one day may not be the offender of the next. When I say this, Sir, let it not be supposed that I wish, in any degree, to introduce a discussion which could give rise to patty hostilities upon the occasion. - Stich . a discussion would be not only most inopportune upon this occasion, but most unfair to those Gallant Officers to whom 1 intend to propose this vote of thanks? I must suppose that it is the inten tion—the settled resolution of . his Majesty's Go vernment, without speaking' . of the other Members whom I have now the honour to address, to stand by this Gallant Officer—that it is the intention of his Majesty's Go vernment, as well as of all those whom I have now the ho nour to address, not to leave that Gallant Officer without the usual (and in this case truly merited) national rewards? Sir, I beg leave to state that in introducing this question, I shall separate it entirely from the policy which sent that gallant officer to the Archipelago. - • It is not my inten tion to drop a phrase which could include any angry discussion upon that policy. In the examination of the subject, and looking to the precedents upon this point, I find that the line which I intend to take upon this oc casion is that which has always been adopted upon occasions of this sort, with the least possibility of a chance of bringing under their discussion the policy which sent our soldiers and our sea men into the field of action. The other evening I took the liberty to mention to the Noble Lord opposite, that I thonght, with respect to the vote which I intend to propose, there was a precedent which completely tallied with my view of the case, and I now find that precedent to tally with my views in more ways than one, particularly with respect to the policy which sent the expedition into the Levant Seas, and the just ac• tion, which was fought in so grand, so consummate, and so distinguished a manner. Lord Liverpool in speaking of the Copenhagen Expedition, used these words—" If the expedition were as unjust and unnecessary as I think it just and necessary, or as impolitic and unwise us I think it politic and wise, still I contend that this would be no ground of opposition to a vote of thanks to those who so ably executed their com mission. —(Cheers). Such were the words of Lord Liverpool, and let those gentlemen who look at the experi ment with an inclination to find fault with the performers dram between the' policy and the performance the same generous and wise distinction, which Lord Liverpool drew upon that occasion. Mr. Perceval, a gentleman well acquainted with the forms of the House, and practised in debate. Speaking of the saute expedition, used these words :—" I hope this House will not refuse their thanks to Officers, because they had to perform a painful and heartbreaking duty." Lord Castlereagh, a man of not less ingenuity than either of those of whom I have spoken— a man who had the honour of speaking to this House in a manner perfectly intelligible to it, said, " It is due to the Army to look only to the execution of the distinct service committed to their charge, but it was due, not only to the army and the navy, but, mu point of justice, to those Gentlemen of this House who differ from his Majesty's Ministers, but are as anxious as any others to bear as warm testimony to the meritorious conduct of the army and navy, but who might find it difficult to do so if the merits of the army and the Navy were not submitted to their consideration uncoil . - nected with the policy of Ministers, to draw the line between the policy of a measure, and the conduct of those charged with the exectition of it."—(hear, hear, hear. If such a course, Sir, was adopted towards the army awl navy for their skill and ability in the execution of the ex pedition to Copenhagen; if on that occasion all party po litics were to be deprecated—the conduct of 3linisters left out of sight—how much higher grounds were there in the present instance for following a similar line of conduct to wants our brave countrymen for the skill and bravery dis played by them at Navarin ? Let, the House bear in mind how the expedition to Copenhagen was spoken of by some of the most distinguished Members of Parliament at that period. Lord Sidmouth designated it "an outrage." Lord Grenville denounced it as "au indelible disgrace to this . country." Mr. Windham and Dr. Laurence both termed it " ala.sting monument of disgrace." Mr. Whit bread branded it as " a treacherous and base aggression " on our parts. Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Tierney, and other dis tinguished Members of Parliament spoke of it in cor responding language of obloquy and condemnation. Yet all this, Sir, did .net prevent a Vote of Thanks being passed in this House to . the army and navy engaged in the ex ecution of that expedition. " In the House of Lords, no di vision teak place on the vote. There was indeed an objec. tion taken to that vote by Lords Holland and Gm, and other Noble Lords, the principal ground of which was; that thanks were notenilY'voted to - the army - it/0i Wire en. gaged, but also to the navy who had no 'opportunity:of dis e playingtheir skill on that occasion. Indeed IbelieVe that there was a single shot fired from any °four large 'ship dtiring thatetpetlition, and whatever naval 'warfare took :place was eon fined to g ctri-beiats 'and .bortib-veiseli. In 11.71 - ' of those objections made on that occasion there, or in an of thejiroteste entered' info,'there was no_ attempt made tt:' make , the troeipi engaged in the exvetliiion "responiible foi." 'any thing more than fir the'faittifol performance of the dtit assigned them. • In the divisloo which took place in di House, on the vote of thanks, and in the minority on which division I observe the names of the present Secretary for Foreign 'Affaira (Lord DtidleV) and my Honourable Col. league (Sir F. Burdett)—ilieir opposition rested on the fact of there being no naval action to justify a vote of thanks to the Navy. This consideration, together with the overwhelming superiority of our force—the imbecile resistance made to it, and the whole exploit, in which, after four days', fighting there were not more than 300 killed, did not, in the estimation of those who op posed that vote, constitute an achievement of that character which entitled troops engaged in it to the express approba tion of Parliament. Notwithstanding the difference of opi nion which prevailed upon this subject, the expedition was made the subject of congratulation in the King's Speech ; yet no such expression of congratulation in the Royal Speech respecting the achievements of Admiral Codrington, which, as far as related to the glory of the British arms, and to the iuterests of civilization and huma nity, was far more calculated than the expedition to Co penhagen to warrant the expression of national congratu lation, and to call forth the expression of national gratitude. —(Cheers.)—lt is on account of this omission of congra tulatory expression in - the Royal Speech, and because n o Member of his Majesty's Government has proposed a suit able acknowledgement to our , brave countrymen, that I, Sir—in Independent Member of Parliament—may, I trust be excused and justified in calling forth such an acknow ledgment of the sense which this House entertains of their "meritorious conduct. I would remind the House, that die action of Navarin was in consequence of instructions which "emanated from the late lamented and illustrious individual Mr. ,Canning, who, if no unfortunate accident had befallen the country in his spirit being withdrawn from the Coun cils of the nation—if lie had not been removed between the period of issuing his instructions and the glorious execution of themwould not have permitted the ser vices of those, by whom those instructions were exe euted, to pass unacknowledged and. Unrewarded. — That same Minister (Mr. Canning) was in office when the Copenhagen expifion was performed—it was planned (at least it hoe always 'been so understood) by Mr. Can ning, who was Secretary" :for Foreign Affairs at the time; and if he had not continutelin office from its commence ment-to-its close, it is not improbable that the vote of thanks which were passed to Lord Cathcart and Admiral Gambier would not have been carried in the manner in which it had been through both Houses of thelegislature. Thus it was—that if any Minister was to issue instruc tions, and to reinain in power until those instructions were fulfilled ' then the Admirals and Officers employed in th e public service received the public thanks of Parliament. But if, between the issuing of the instructions and the ful ' filment'of them, the Minister was put out of power—if he was unfortunately removed by death, then it . was not, it would seem, deemed necessary - or advisable by those who succeeded •him - to convey the expression of the public thanks for the execution of orders emanating froM their predecessors in power. This rendered - it doubly incum bent- on independent 'Members of Parliament to call the attention - of the House to those services, respecting which (as in the present instance) his Majesty's Govern ment may not be - diiposed to "originate a motion expressive of the national sentiment. If Votes of Thanks were to be given -or 'withheld' agreeably to 'any charge which, through accident or otherwise, may take - place in the Go vernesent of the-country, it would reduce the value of them to a mere plaything, and would, be, in effect, to surrender the character and the valour of our Army and Navy as victims to unworthy political squabbles: If Mr. Canning had still beeurspared—if he remaned to stand by' those who con quered at Nivarin; as he stood by those - engaged in the Co penhagen Expedition—theirservices would not be permit-. ted to pass without suitable acknowledgment. But his sun was set. After it had gone down, wine faint "reflections of its light, for a time, were Seen above the horizon, and it cwas hoped that the spirit which he bad infused into the councils of his country would continue to animate them ; yet, tam not without the hope, that - they who have suc ceeded him Will carry into complete faithful execution the Provisions of the Treaty of 'London, by which they, too, have deClared themselves bound. - Let the House consider, that the motion to which I now call for their assent, is in strict conformity with What has already lieen - in part done. It only, requires of them to follow up the expresaion of rip ', probation - of the conduct - of out nai , y, which all concurrent testimonies from different *falters fully show that it eminently merits. Let us see what took place on the first arrival in this country of the 'victory at Navarin.— The intelligence of the victory reached London on the - 10th of November ; and on the 13th a proof was given in the Gazette of the full approbation of the Admiralty and Ministers of that day, of the Conduct of Admiral Codring ton. There appeared in the Gazette the folloviing :—" The King has been pleased to nominate and appoint Vice-Ad miral.Sir Edward Codrington, Knight Commander .or the Most Honourable Military Order of the Bath, to - be a Knight Grand Cross of the said Most Honourable Order ; and the King has been also pleased to appoint the 'limier mentioned Officers in the Royal Navy to be Companions of the gild, Most Honourable Military Order of the Bath." This himOrary - distinction O was extended to four Captains and seven Conimanders; This was an Unequivocal testi mony of the Royal approbation, and of the Ministers then in office, of his conduct. After this cordial expression of the Royal approbation 01 the Officers which h a d a l rea dy been given, what -' hjection could there be now to follow it up by the Thanks of this House? Is it to the instructions of Ministers that objections is now taken? If it would not be contended (as I presume it ' will not), that the officers fulfilled their instructions faithfully, the only other opposi tion that can be taken is to the o ri g i na l i ns t ruc ti ons , f ro m which Admiral Codrington did not depart, and according Fto the tenor of which he strictly acted. It is to he regretted, that that approbation which our gra' cious Sovereign express?cl in the first instance was pot /of' lowed by corresponding sentiments in the Royal SpeoT h at the beginning of the Session. This would have been,,rn formabl e t o th e testimoni e s which h a v e poured tenai no twithst d i n land from all quarters, and have been really em be the gallant conduct of our seamen, n th eu e forgeries and fallacies of the Austrian Obsery an.g . A nd, _et il es a further reason why that sentiment of Roya l appro b a _ tion should be preserved, an investigation,iie victory t shou at d .N be remembered, bad been instituted since t t warm. Sir John Gore had been sent out to inquire into the that gallant ofiee, circumstances o f the course adopt e d b y Ad miral Codriugton. That t he re p ort of Sir John Gore con tained such a confirmatio n was borne out ,by the answer fe th i a t t t t o o the b e assumed, co n fi rme d i n every respect the prop was riety battle. The report o f given to me on a former night; and of which answer th e present motion is the consequence. The Noble Lord .(Pal : • • - • metston) replied to a-41roO. fronsAine, t it wan not intended to publish the ltiscitt broinehttee:tl s country by Sir John Gore ; and, e , the Noble Leid added, it 'father reply to my questionantliat it was not the intention:of Go vernment to proposeany vote of thanks upon the subject.. The Noble Lord added, no blame was imputable in env quarter —not certainly to Admiral Codrington. This, t'herefore, justifies me in the position that he is free from blame. —But, besides the subsequent investigation 'instituted by Sir John Gore, and the authority of the Noble Lord, of the Gallant Admiral's exemption from all blame, I have the additional fact that he is still retained in the chief com mand of the Mediterranean. The Noble Duke at etc head of the Administration ie an eacelleut judge in what oaring -to the carrying of military orders into effect; arid sure I ern that if this Gallant Admiral exceeded his strict order:, the Noble Duke (Wellington) would not retain him in his pre sent cominando--(Hear.)—Beeides the Noble Duke. there was the Right Hon. Secretary for the Colonial Depart ment, and other Members who sat near him, who were parties htoett thee issuing of these orders, Calf tot offie carry the orders given him into effect. 'The testimony of the Noble Duke is so strongly corrob orative of the conduct of Admiral Codrington, that the H ouse I arn laeedrisd, snore and than cou ld i d 0- air Clare wl7 tration: " Ile (the Duke of Wellington) did tin t mein to ssutartee'dNiviiillhigsrpanlatcleneinit Parliament, s indulgence,w a sH lß e l t e d l o 7p th e e at z h m a i t ni te . cast the slightest imputation upon the Gallant AdteairalS by whom the battle of Navarin was so gloriously acineend.— No such thing ; on the contrary, both his Majesty and' his -Ministers acquitted him of all blame, and felt -that in doing as lie had done, he had fully and ably discharged his nuty to his country. Their Lordships should recollect that the f m t h t 'e l is: a e t toabseo Gallantc i Gallant Admiral had been placed in a very delicetn and difficult situation, associated as he was with two • foeeign Admirans ; but he acquitted himself in a matinee which tiro credit alike to himself and his country, and which Sonnire d fur him the confidence and esteem of the great Powers esift: l _ wh F ic ee h li s n v g e theate associated ffi case,in that hi.:,„ _T shouldr e (r a f t e y a . r; - ::nh ( : H iad e re a . t r in , s B self single e ffiz oe r e d vh d ic er h o h lat e to h r a y d t t h o e ,: l t i h or c u ha r t h e i t i . ld a , n i a f u h„e n r w lui e tet r ees t r b ed y o o a f s t i te g u.hi was the testimonyntf the dim Minister of the , Cider ain e 4o ne n . ne,. it eliould be. reeollected, than eselinstonlin e was no man living who better knownhifte- fareatrenniteirtrefn go in iutrepiditywith esafety toshis , coutitreen—ninenee)oee Than whom no. person coed_ more appropsnannnesoeikurn ontehe due propontion of coninge s eolevalcitren .whionnn e nneironaneler.nriay display, behrenanb jected 7to the imputation -of I njur na(-fleer. ) . r ..--Te.,the,testiniony. of ; the ,ofes-Wellingtrennt let Jae .edinnhat of the Noble Lord (Dudley); ' the &fere tary of.state for, .Foreigh.Affairs, to: whose-delnertrient the consideration of this subject properly belonged.

My answer to that is—that it hue not been attacked.; that Sir Edward Codringtun does not stand in need of vindication. lie was engaged in a most important en-- vice, and he has the high reward of a meritorious discherga of his duties; therefore, as far as regards his Sovereign the Government, he stands in uo need of e indication."— In addition to the testimonies of the Duke of 'Wellington and Lord Dudley, I will add that of Lord Clonerick, the head of the late Administration. What was his teetimony as to the conduct of Admiral Cudrington ? wane (Adini ral Codeington)," said Lord Goderich, " had been niaced in circumstances of no ordinary difficulty—be had poi formed his duty like a man. In his (Lord (ins) opinion he had exercised a sound discretion, and had ably sup ported his own character, as well as the lionour'and glory of his-country." Such wen) the testimonies borne to the character and conduct of this Gallant Officer by those - who had official opportunities of forming the best judgment of it. The Marquess of Lansdowne—than whom there was not a more upright and noble-iniuded man in the country— united his opinion to those already cited, in approbation of Sir Edward Codringtou. "He (Lord Lansdowne) felt it his duty to declare, that if any blame attached any whets, most assuredly it was not on the Gallant Officer-who corn naended the fleet. When all the documents connected with this transaction were known,• the House Well:14 !),-: convinced with him, that the Gallant Officer wisely understood, and fairly exercised hie dieere nos under the circumstances in which he was placed:" Relying on t hese testimonies, which, corresponding as they do, to all other testimonies of his conduct on this memorable occasion, I rest my present Motion, uncoonected with Government as I amn-acting as art independent Member of Parliament, without concert with iny party, I might almost add, unconscious of the support of troy Member in the House, and throwing myself for whatever support toy motion may receive on the just prin ciples and generous feelings which dwell in the bosoms of en meembly of English Gentlemen_(Cheera.) It is in the fnli reliance of these principles and feelings, and i n the absence of all imputation upon the Gallant Ofneer; ei ther for rashness, for a departure noun or watt of diem lion, of bravery, or of skill, and in the presence of all coo current and confirming testimony, which establisher. the inverse of such an imputation, that I rest my motion fox congratulation and thanks for au exploit, which was alike proud for the arms of the country, which by it were preen -served untarnished, and glorious to humanity, for the sake of whose interests it was achieved. It iaa source of ro sret, that the authentic public documents connected with this exploit are not made public ; but from such prink locuments—the common and ordinary sources of ittelli gence_as we do possess—there has been (without a single lifference of opinion) an expression of full and entire cone iidence in the skill and merits of our Officer.
