Ile would merely present the papers, the Court then would dispose of them as they thought fit. The letters, together with .the statement of Mr. Mortimer, wlre then read. They were as follows "IWhitehall, Aug. 30, 1321., " SIR—At a late hour, last night I received your letter of yesterday,' in ,which you ix six o'clock on Sunday afternoon as the time wii . en'the outrage took place, which you represented in your former letter to,have been committed on the Civil Power by the Life Guards. • .- "- I liaTe — o - Oy to desire that you will state the precise time when you withdrew from Knightsbridge ; after tranquillity had been perfectly restored, Unless you should have any objection to make such a.statement.

" SIR —Agreeably to your desire, J shall endeavour to enu merate a few oftheleading featnresoccasionedby the procession and burial of Honey and Francis' yesterdak. It is unnecessary , for me to enumerate the assemblage by your order of the - civil power in and about Smithfield, or the orderly manner in which the procession moved from thence to Hammersmith. The only provocation given to - lin:di& on its - passage,' was occasioned by a brickbat bein g thrown,.,- es it was said, : from the 'Barracks 'at Knightsbridge; 'by the individual who produced it to you, and Who appeared to be . cut by'the sane& tour' interference had the. desired effect, and tranquillity was restored:. On out , ai rival at Haminersmith; eyery_thing.appearing yereeerderly, and no dan ger of tumult e y,ou e Sir, proposed returning towards the barracks, for the purpose. of persuading the - populace assembled to reserain any irritable &elle g which might be,excited if the Life Guards; appeared ; with this in view We arrived at_Knightsbridge, but .what was your snrpriS e at perceiving that the barrack-gates, which it is necessary to Observe, on the procession paersing, Were closely shut, and by which means tunaalt was prevented, had the foot-path near the gates covered with soldiers, besides others drawn up on the inside, but all preient to the public, which oc casionedgreat disepprObation to, be expressed by the 'people.--:- * Upon which'you rode up and requested theM to withdraw from' such position. Instead of cornplying, they immediately replied ' they had a right to stand there.' You observed that you did' not intend at such a time to dispute their right, but requested them to withdraw; that yonr sole desire was to preserve the peace and prevent mischief, which their perseverance in ,ap- . peering in such a Station was likely to create ; and farther or dered, that any individual who should insult or give any pro vocation to a soldier, should be immediately taken into custody. At this the soldiers laughed, and appeared determined' to re main. You then inquired the name of the Commanding Officer., and that he might be. informed that. it was your particular re quest that the men might be withdrawn. No notice being taken by them, youlannediately ordered'your Officers to inform the Commanding 'Officer of this your request. Upon the Officers' entering the barracksy they were ordered-Ace retire from the same, with this, 4 that the Sheriffs and they might go and be d—d.' Youthen, Sir; addressed the soldiers (perceiving t'ee temper of the people being irritated upon this insulting an swer being circulated, and fearful of the, consequences), • `• ebat as the Sheriff of the county of Middlesex you was their Com manding .Officer„ and desired themimmediately to retire, and that the gates should be closed.'- • This spirited address had the desired effect, for after a short delay, the . „o-etes were closed and the soldiers withdrawn. Part of the cavalcade thenarriv ing, we proceeded with the same as far asthe Cannon Brewery, at Knightsbridge, 'eersuading the populate to quietness and good order, When an officer of yours arrived and stated; , that during your alasence a disturbance had arisen - between some few of the g . uards and 'the - people ; we immediately returned and perceivtd mat a seiiffie had ensued ' that others of the guards were climb ing. over the Barrack walls (the gates being then closed) to the assistance of their comrades ; stones being then thrown by both parties, a general scuffle took- , place; • this spreading in the Barracks, and the soldiers likely to be defe a ted, a bout ffteen: or' twenty others rushed .from the gates, armed with d rawn 'sworde and. carbines, when you immediately rode up to 'the scene of action and endeavOnred to disengage the combatants. Not succeeding in the moment, we rode on the footpa'th in • the hope of doing 'so; when I was attacked by a soldier who made a thrust at lie .without effict ; bat' another struck me a• blow on the thigh, and at the saineinetaeit one of your officers was knocked down by my - side,. and whpm I nearly rode over, which„pre.vented the in the instant from riding to your assist ance ; 'for on turning nand, I observed you in imminent danger ordering the people to desist, contriving to separate them, and desiring the soldiers ,immediately to retnrii to their Barracks. - Uposi.which the.soldier whom you addressed relative to the'gates in the fiestinstarree, at the Barracks, rushed up; placing his shoulder to sour horse, whilst you , was . thus eneeged (being.• then oa-the footpath, which being en eminence, rendered year,. retreat the more dangerons),,sivore he would-teach you to ride 'on the footpath, and was in the act of foreinge-ou fro the same,- , ethen von, fortunately fee your Own preservation, struck the fel t law with your stick, which made him forego his intention of of- feting further Violence. He could not plead' ignorance Of your being the Sheriff, enereforeth.e insult'was. the snore gross. :The officers arriving succeeded in protecting you froni fresh insults, but not till you had been forced .by the soldiers 'fieiin the path Into the road. ' It is also necessary to remarkethat eysoldiee was observed loading; his .carbine,••leith theeeVident intention of else charging it; which, upon being 'discovered by one of your officers, was struck out of his head. The officers in the barracks, Ipre game, .heterinefof,thiseconchiet, ordered the soldiers to. recurne which, after . somethfie, was effected, To, reetore tranquillity once, snore was ydurilegiree and your exertions succeeded hee yond your most sanguine exPectetionse as also in withdrawing .tfie greater part of theeeepulace from the busy scene. .

Nyas not to draw any. compari son between the Noble,Marquis and. the distin- . guished , individual whose conduct they were about to notice—but to show how carefully that Court had; at all . times, watched' over the public actions of m e n o f a ll parties. Duilng . a long and eventful war; ihat,Court had never .hesitated to confer its honours'-upoti 'any 'gallant deserved well of his country, and it had been equally.pronipt - to' reward,. as far . as lay iri its ; power, the services of diStinguished - Statesmen. This being • the c ase , •there needed no apology for the motion he, intended to,snbrpit to them. Was thereany class of Statesmen' more praise worthy, he would ask, especially in a time of peace, that those, who, whilst the people' were literally groaning under _.an. almost intolerable load of taxation, exerted themselves_ to support the great question of. reforrb and'economy; and -among these what individual had made himself more conspicuously useful than the gentleman in question-?- 7 (Hear, hear.)The Whole .conduct of that Hon. Member had practically einbodied, as it were, the records and Resolutions of that Court ; and they were therefore- bound to notice that conduct, if merely for the sake of consistency. .At a moment too;' when • nceti of high rank, civil .and . military, were .dismissed for not being suf ficiently subservient to the Administration of the day--at such a moment_ it' was iricuin bent on them to mark decisively thf,ir sense of the conduct of those who had fearlessly done their duty In atteMpting to describe the inde fatigable .perseverance of Mr. Hume, -he had undertaken a labour of no very ordinary magni tude, That Hon. Member had made econonij , and .retrenchment his . grand object ; .and in so doing he had pointed out abuses at which even the Ministers .themselv.es ...w.ere astonished ; and, to his honour be it spoken, after having loaded him witb . abuse, they incorporated hi;. propositions in their, own Resolutions:—(Hear.)--Minist er s at .the same time had found the Honourable ;Menlber: a very 'useful bugbear, and had not . scrupled, to make use of him, in..that ungracious : capacity,. whenever it initeA•their . -purpose. claim was in 4 .4 •ilpow.thc,m .with which they. did nut dkoose tO comply, the ready answer _was, c; .

Gentle- . Ttian ; - and_ those he considered equally deserving. of their. thanks. People might talk .as. they: .pleased on the subject, but they. never, could convince him that it was possible to reduce sala ries to- the standard of 1797.. .lln hoped .they, would never be brought so low as .to prevent those who:spent their time in the . service of the public, from being enabled to liveou them. If economy was carried to such a length as this, :it was greatly to be feared that those who suffered _by it might,try to indemnify themselves 'by pe= culation, or some other mode. Mr'. Hume, .as -before remarked, was not the only ,person who exerted himself .for retrenchment ;. there were others.as well entitled, to . their praise. : ' Thevery same views were taken on the subject by Mr. rreevy, and he published. 'statements_ similar to those of Mr. Hume; and that in a welt-written .pamphlet. All those who supported and encou raged.this Gentleman deserved their commenda tions as well as he did himself. He supposed. the Hon. Gentleman who proposed this ResOlutioudid not meall to institute any comparison •between the .act of the Marquis of Canuten and the efforts of Mr. Hume. He very properly took. care to guard himself at the outset against any such idea. ,There was no similarity between the two things. —ln one case, there was the relinquishment of a considerable income which the Noble Marquis derived from the public. Mr. Hume did 'no more than every Gentleman in his situation was bound to do. Not only, however, were they called upon to thank. him tor what_he had done, but for something prospective—for something undefined, which they were told he 'intended to do hereafter. He did. not think that hitherto he performed such services as entitled him to , the. thanks and freedom of that great city. . . . Mr. Gnumns supported the motion, and spoke in terms of the highest,admiration of Mr. ume's exertions. Mr. T.N.IVILIJAms wished to know whether it was intended to. pursue the motion. by another for presenting Mr. Hume with the freedoni of the city ?,-Mr. FAVELL answered in the affir mative. Mr. AtirwAms said, he was not prepared to go that length, because though he felt that great praise was due to Air. flume for his exertions, by voting him The freedom of the city they might place themselves in "a situation which they would have reason to regret. it was very far froth being desirable that retrenchment should be carried ► too far, so as t o i nca p ac it a t e the country for any exertion, if •a war should become, necessary. After the•AddingtOn Administration, the Ada& ralty was found greatly deficient iit:neceSsary • materiel, in: consequence of acting too zealously' on.a principle of retrenichtilent. If a sweeping reduction of all, places' was 'to bsi carried into. effect,_ how was the King to - reward meritoriatis . public servants ? • If thcariny was disbanded, as Itiir. HUMe recoMmended, on what ground would '.they stand with respect to the other. Powers.of = Europe? This cry of reform and retrenchment was raised to serve very differentobjects from . the apparent ones. r.fho people through such means were :led away by factious individuals, Who desired .nothing. less „t h an .revolution.----_ (Hear !)---He should..like:to know how Mr. Hume ,got his'. information.. .Perhaps it: was de - - Jived not from the purest sources.
