IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, TUESDAY. JULY 5 The Earl of LIVERPOOL presented two distinct Mf!ssages from the Prince Regent, respecting Annuities to he conferred on Lords Exmouth. and Cumbermere, importing that his Royal ighness,tak ing into hisconsideratiou the long and meritorious services, in the course of the late war, of Vice-Adariiral Ed ward Baron Exmouth, had resolved to confer a signal mark of his favour and apa : robation i by granting; to his Lordship, and th&'two next heirs male to the title, an Annuity of 20001. du ring the lives of the same. And also for the same crosses Roil considerations, an annuitvff the same amount to Lieut. Geo. Stapleton, Baron Cumbermere, and his heirs, in the like planner; and concluding by'reconimending it to Visa-lord ships to concur in measures to : enable Lis Royal Idighness to settle and make good the same..-:—The Messages were ordered to he taken into consideratiOn to morrow. • Several Petition:: were presented against: the Apprentice Bill. Their Lordships, subsequently, resalved- tintrnselves into a Committee-on this Bill, in which a variety - of alterations and - amendments were tnade and the lteport ordered to be received to-morrow, .anal the liiit, a...amended, to be printed. THE NAVY,-'ARMY, &e. 'EarI'BATHUItST, purtuatit to his notice of yesterday, rose to move the Thanks. -of the House to the Navy, Army, ,Militias, and Volunteer Corps, .for their great, signal, and meritorious services in the course of the late War. 'The vote which he meant to propose was similar to that adopted by their Lordships, on . the conclwion of the War in 1802, and to which he could anticipate nought but the most C,ordial unanimity on th e part of the House. The 'Sohle Earl, con ceiving it superfluous to enter into any detailed view 'of the sobject, made some general nbservations in the way of en logy on the meritorious service's of each distinct branch. After rendering a due tribute of applaiete to O. Naval Branch; 'he particniarly pailegyrized the brilliant achievements of the Army, and the state of discipline and' perfliction to which, 'through the skill zurd exertions of the Ilhistrious Person at its bead, that important branch of his Majesty's service had been raised. Ast ntiment tvhich seemed to be entertained and ex presSed by that illustrious and transetpdant military Ur, the Duke cf Passingron to the services ren dered by the -Militia Force, and which he praised id appro priate trims, he adverted to those signal services rendered by the Volunteer Corps, of which their Lordships must - be ge nerally aware, and which Were peculiarly eminent in a jia tionni point of view ; and. concluded by proposing, in distinct nations, the Thanks .of the I louse to the Navy,. Army, and Itlarines, for the zeal, valour, .aid eminent services, rendered by them to his Majesty and the Countr'y in the course of the late War—and also to the respective Militias and theVolUnteer Corps, to be communicated to the same through the Lord Chancellor, by the ,Admiral of the Fleet, tend the Cons mander--in-Chief, &c. .• • • On the noesTion— Earl SF:N.2\IIOI'E did not rise for the purpose to oppose that unanimity, which seemed likely .to prevail, .but‘to take the opportenity of enquirifik what the intentions of Ciaern went were respecting the employment of those brave tars whom they should now. he obligedito discard? It was right and necessary something: intheir behalf should. be done, and no way presented itself, as so likely to be beneficial. as cut ployMeot ip the British,Fisheries, which, as he understimd, may bp imprvved to such e way, as to red,:ce the price of fish from shillior , s to pence. Ile therefore had to recommend that most iMportant subject to the serious consideration of Government. Viscount lIELVILLE observed, he had received no com mands whatever from _his Royal Highness the Prince Regent to make any communication upou the subject ; at the same' time, be could rot help noticing that a piotion for Thanks to the Navy and Army presenter! a very improper oppoetunity for discussioL , the su . nieet of improving the British F.sheries. 'Their Lordships' ","ranks, .as moved by the Noble Secretary of State, V,' re then vut,,t,d 21e7.1. Earl STANH9K, mewed certain ResolUtions relative to the supply of Corn for the Country, which were received pre fornvz, and ordered to be printed.—Adjourned. e HOUSE OF COMMONS. Several Petitions were presented against the Slave Trade. Die. MANNERS -:r.."fTON brought in a Bill to repeal the Aels . !4the 30th and ;;2d of Charles 11. relative to burying in woollen.. It was read a Erst time,. and ordered for a second reading to-morrow. - The Navy Prize-money Bill, and the Loan Charge Bill were read a third tinie,"and passed. The Mad-house Bill and Northern Lights Bill were ordered for o third reading to-morrow. . • The Acts - respecting naval timber were referred to a Com mittee,. in. which Mr. Lushingtoa obtained leave' to bring in a Bill to continue the . said Acts. : The London Jail Bill went through a Committee. The re port was received, and Ordered to be taken into further eon del ation on Friday. ' The House went into a Committee on the Queen's Ferry Passage Report. Mr WM. SNIETH moved, that when it should be proved that the *um of 10,0001. already granted towardi carrying on that work, was-expended, a further - sum of 10,0001. if so much was wanted should be granted. This Resolution was agreed to; the House resumed, anti_ the Report was ordered to be re e4iived to 'mcrrow. . _ . NPRAE's pETi•nos. Mr. PETER NIODRE, held in his hand a Petition of great moments It was from a person of the name of M'Rae, and as on reading it, it had not appeared totini to contain any thing improper„ he had promised td present it. Ile had also to as sure tnc House,' that it was totally unknown to the'Noble Lord wha was to form the subject of the debate that night.— It complained of wrongs and punishment being inflicted on one class of men for the . crimes of another ; and declared that the Petitioner was ready to prove his allegation at the bar of the House. He concluded by moving, that the Petition he brought up.. LUTIVJAST supposed that Mr. Mcßae was the per son who had bees: convicted of a conspiracy' with others, for a fraud on the Stock Exchange, The object.of his. Petition then was to call upon the House, any allegation of any abuse of power la the Court below tare-bear judgment of that Court. .In this case, no complaint had been made out which. toald enable the Home to entertain the Petition. Mr. P. MOORE thought he must have wiongly described !lie contents of the Petition; he would therefore read its sub stance. It advanced, that the Petitionei was competent to un veil the whole mystery of the late transaction in the City, and to rescue from imputation of guilt au illustrious Person, a Member of that House (Lord Cochrane), now charged with haying been a party in that transaction. He had offered to Make a similar disclosure to the Committee of the Stock Ex change, who proposed to give bin: a pecuniary reward for his information. But when it was- wide:stood that his evidence would excdpatc Lord Cochrane, and • inculpated other men, they refused to hear him, This he was ready to prove by evi dence at the oar, and should he fail to do it, would most rea dily submit to the punishment of the law.. Mr.DATHIJIISI said it was. now toollate to turn informer; the proper time would have been durin-g the trial, orin miti gation of judgment. Instead of this the Petitioner had ab seonded from punishment, and now came fel-Nord, offering if be should fail in establishing his point to submit to that . punisbment to which he- was alreadf made liable. He trusted, under such circumstances, the Petition would be re jected. Mr. LOCKH.%ItT thought the hriogiteg up of the Petition could answer no good. By his statement and his sentence the Petitioner hi‘d become both unworthy of belief aunt incompe tent to give .evidente. if it was true that the Petitioner bad other evidence to adduce beside his own, the only thing lie should do would be to inform the Noble Lord concerned, who those witnesses were, that he might employ them if possible, in wiping away the stain thrown by the:late transaction on Lis character. . . Elie question wltethi.!r t e Petition shou ld be brought up was then put, and negatived by a great majority. LORD COCHRANE. Mr. BROADHURST Inored the Ordiir of the Day for taking into conshlimation the !accord of the Conviction of Lord Cochrane and Mr. Cochrane Johnstone. The SPRAKEIt inquired wiletber Lord Cochrane was in attendance. The Set:leant atArnis.answercd in the affirma tive. ' The Noble Lord was shortly afterwards intro dur,,ed by the Serjtant, who had summoned him from the office o tth e spertker's Seeretarv, where lie had been . conPueted ou bring delivered by Mr. Gibbons, the of the Marshal 'of the Court of King's to thd&rjeant. His Lordshi was then acsired to bike his place, .and tooklus !Apia' seat on the oppOsite Side. Tlae SliAltag thell enquired whether Nv. Cock ritne Jolntstone was iat attendant-e ; anti csti berAt i r,. answered in the negative, Mr. Skelton, op, lf the Messengers of the House, was called -to the Bar. O being examined, he stated, -that he had gone to serve the order of the Rouse. upon Mr. C. Johnstone on. the 26th of June, at N0.:15, Al snp's-huildings, where he saw a Mr. Moore, who told him that Mr. C. Johnstone was not there, nor any of his servants in the house. He bad lived there 'before his trial in the Court of King's Bench, but 10A-quitted that house just before it came on. Mr. Moore also said, that it would be useless to leave th s e order there, as 'it could :not be delivered to the person for whom it was in tended. - • The testimony of Jones, another Messenger of the House, stated, that he called with a subse 'fluent. notice at the house No. 15; in Alsop's .buildings, on Friday last, awt had received a similar answer as hi) predecessor respecting Mr. C..Tohnstone. The SPEAKER said, he was informed there were some Hon. Members who could give the House information reipecring Mr. C. Johnstone. Mr. CiRAHAM said that he had seen Mr. C. Johnstone at Calais on the 21st of June last. The same fact was also stated, by Colonel KERRISON. S?EAKER then observed, that the time 11,1 d arrived for submitting to the house a ziotion un the subject of the statement just made, Mr. BROADHURST then moved that the record of the conviction and sentence of Lord Cochrane be entered as read , •This having been done, the SPEAKER informed the Noble Lord that he, tnigltt now proceed to say any thing he thought proper in his defence. After a, few words between Mr. BANKES •and thC_SPEAKER, on a point of form, Lord COCHRANE rose and said— " Mr. Speaker The circumstances under which '1 appear before you and the !louse this day, entitle me to, at least, a patient hearing.— The unfortunate man, who, in the time of Cardi nal Richelieu, was condemned to be lacked and burnt, on the charge of practising-I - eagle, when protesting his innocence and exposing the villainy Of his enclitics, while the fire was preparing be fore his eyes, was, to prevent his being heard by the people, struck upon the mouth with a cruci fix, borne in the hand of a monk. This horrible judicial murder shocked all France and all Eu- . rope ; but 'of . all the circumstances attending it, the fabrication of evidence, the flagrant partiality of the judges, the cruelty of the sentence, the no torious falsehood of the charge, nothing produced so deep a sense of indignation as the act of this' execrable monk, who, not content with the tor ture and the death of the victim, not content with the destruction of his body, was resolved to pur sue him even beyond the grave. I trust that on this (ley no means . w..l be resorted to stifle my voice, or to prevent the public at large front hear ing all that I have to say in my Defence: all that I have to urge against the conduct of my enemies and againsLthe means that have been pursued to bring ruin and degradation upon me. I am not here,Sir,. ,to bespeak compassion, or to pave the way to par tite]. Both ideas are alike repugnant to my feelings. That the public in general have felt indignation at the sentence that has been passed upoti me, does honour to their hearts, and tends still to make my country dear to we ; in spite of what I have' suffer ed. It is not, however, my liuSiness to complain of the cruelty of this Sentence. I am here to sea, for a third time, my innocence, in the most unqualified and ,sblemn manner. [Re then pro ceeded to utter insinuations against high legal au thorities, for which he was called to-order, with an unanimous impulse, by the House.] The 1-louse, Sir, will easily perceive, and 'every honourable man will, I ant sure, participate in my feelings, that the fine, the imprisonment, the pillory; even that pillory to which I ant condemned, are no thing.; that they weigh not as a feather when put in the balance against' my desire to show that I have been unjustly condemned. Therefore, Sir, I trust that the House will give a fair and impar tial hearing to what 1 have to say respecting the conduct of my enemies, to expose which conduct is a duty which I owe to my constituents and my country, not less • than to myself." The Noble Lord then went over the evidence which be pro duced when moving for a new trial, and which already has been fully laid before the public. With respect to the affidavit and letter of his- brother, he said : " The affidavit of my brother, ast W. ea as the certificate of the Surgeon, were treated as fa brications : and, with respect to my brother's letter, the Judge would not believe that I had re ceived it unless I could produce it, and shew him tire post-mark. Jr is known to all my friends, that I seldoth preserve such letters as are slot likely to be of future importance—but it was also known to many of my friends, that I had received such a letter. And since tray brother Colonel Cochrane's. return from Ireland, I have learnt that he did actually receive the letter enclosed from me ; and he is ready to prove it; and my other brother Major Cochrane, has sworn to the fact of having sent it. The Learned Judges would not believe the,re was time for the arrival of such letter be tween the 12th and 18th of February ; but I did not speak to the date of the letter. 1 only said, that I received it on the 18th : and my brother did not swear that it was written on the 12th, but early in February. Now, I expressly , Stated, that my brotherbrought the Certificate home with him. It was granted to him on the 12th of February by the Surgeon of his regiment, for the purpose of being laid before a Board of Medical Officers to shew the necessity of his return to England, where he arrived some time in March, andnow resides in Portman-square, in a very precarious state of health. The authenticity of the Certificate is. um questionable ; and it is mere important, since it was not obtained for the purpose of proving the truth of me statement, but is the original Certifi cate atithorizing his return to England on account of ill-health, and bears date nine days prior to 'the 21st February. It includes a period of six weeks, tamely, front the Ist of Jan. and yet the Learned Judge argued against the probability, nay, stated that it Was almost impossible, that I should have heard of his illness on the 17th of Fe bruary ! With respect to my account of the conversation Willett passed between De Bercnz ger and myself, I submit to the House, that it is net only true, but perfectly probable. It was not , recessary Mint t shoulti know the business which I3erenger had been transacting, in order to I believe that he had reas.ons for wishing to quit the kingdom. Ills wish to `go to Americ4, and Sir Alexander Cochrane's application in his behalf, were known .to tine, and clearly proved on the trial ; and the Prosecutor's Council admitted that De Berenger was in the Rules of the King's Bench, and F. 6 in villved in debt, that lie would rather re side in any country than this. Within these few flays, a letter from, De Berenger to his Solicitor, Mr. Gabriel Tabourdin, has come into my posses sion, which clearly proves the distressed state of his mind, .and his anxiety to get out of the Coun try. The letter is dated the 17th of February, tour days previous 'to the Fraud of the 21st. The letter is long, and, to mc, perfectly unintelligible. The, following passage slims the , perturbed 'state of his mind :—".l cannot refrain 'from pressing you, as my Solicitor, and as a confi dential friend, .to take immediately those mea sores; which alone can tranquillize my mind, and , enable me thereby to meet the numerous sufferings lam doomed to bear. Something must be done, for what is so harrassing - as doubt about future late? Mine is all ghxtui ; and self-preservation, that powerful argument, but which I have so long neglected, and which every body More or less seems to use, requires my immediate and unalter able decision. I have refused What most people would call the safe side of the question. What are my prospects in consequence ? that I shall • have enemies in abundance ; that I shall, in either result, have lost all chance of encourag9ment per haps in all Europe, and shall be tossed about, God knows how and where, and at an age which claims rest ; and horrible as the picture is., it is even the best of the prospects that await me:---for should the trial go against me, my. fate is not branded by disgrace and punishment only ; for the doors of a prison will close upon •me fin- life." After the apprehension of.. Mr. De Berengeri . I did; by the advice of Mr.. Johnstone, address to him a letter through . the Office of Lord Sidinotith i , calling upon him to state to the plume nis sons for coining to my house on the 21st of Fe bruary,' and lie answered, that " his object was .correctly detailed in . my affidavit." I hold his ori ginal letter in my hand. gelling upon the dif% ference of the , dress in which De Berenger ap peared before me from that descriW by the Stock Exchange Committee, and on the assurance of Mr. Johnstone that Dc Berenger , .had informed hint that be could unequivocally prove an alibi by at least -a dozen credible witnesses, and believing that, -at all events, my own, innocence would prove my protection, .1 felt SQ perfectly secure. As to the issue of the trial, that I gave no instruc tions to Conusel, attended no consultation, and never eveti read my own brief, into ‘vhich a fatal error was introduced ; but feaVing the - whole busi ness in the hands of my Solicitor; I retired to - my house in the country, and did not return till two "days previous to the trial. While it“he country I received a letter from my Solicitor, informing me, that at a consultation, it had been resolved to defend- my case, jointly with, that of Mr. Butt, and that it was not determined whether it might' not also be advisable to unite it with that of Mr. Johnstone. I had ordered that may case should he tlefended separately, and Messrs Topping and. Scarlet were engaged. as my Counsel. To the above communication I returned the following answer " Holly-hill, Titchfielti, May 49, 1514. • " The Counsel are certainly better able to judge than I am, as to the necsssity of mixing Mr. Butt's case with mine, but i will not.consent to any further union." " Notwithstanding this, my case was defended conjointly; and it deserves particular attention, that the able CounSel who pleaded my cause .was intended to defend Mr. Johnstone only, and that the Counsel whom I did employ, had no oppor tnnity of opening their lips. The unavailing ex pression of my dissent to an union of cases, was almost the only step taken by me in my own be half in the whole course of the proceedings prior to my return to town.; for, in add;tion to the per fect consciousness'of my innocence, I cannot help remarking, that Mr. Johnstone, on all occasions, was anxious to relieve me from the trouble of at tending to my own interests in this matter, and in a letter Which - lie wrote' tome a few days previous to the Trial, he intreated me to make myself per fectly easy as to the issue, and 'informed one he had seen De Berenger's Brief, by which it ap peared, that he would fully establish an This letter, pursuant to my general practice, well known to my friends, I believe I have destroyed;' but the receipt and purport of. it can be proved on oath by a visitor then at my house. On my re turn to town, immediately before the trial, the Brief of Mr. De Berenger was sliewn to the by Mr. Johnstone;' and the case as therein stated, ap peared to me so perfectly clear, that I soietunly assure thenouse, that I then thought it impossi ble he could he the person who represented Du Bourg. That I had no concern whatever. in the alibi set up by Mr. Dc Bcrcnger, trill sufficiently appear from the Letter from my Soli cicors " Lincoln's Inn nems., Ist July, 1314. " My Lord—We beg to achnoWledge' the receipt of your Lordship's letter of ye,terday's date, and to acquaint you in answer, that we were certainly employed exclusively tor. you': Lordship in the ,hite Trial, and not fur 'any other of .the De fendants; and we also beg leave to state most enplicitly that we never received from your Lordship, or any other person whatever, any instructions in respect to ,the alibi attempted to be proved by Mr. De Derenger, and consequently did not, nor could. give any directions to Cotins6l in respect to that alibi, nor..had ever any intercourse 'or communication whatever with the witnesses by Wluini it was to be establish ed. We have the htmOur to be, toy Lord, &c. FAllltErt and • " My description of the dress in which De Be renger appeared before me, at my house, on the 21st, of February, has excited much animadver 7 sion. When I swore that be *ore a.green coat, the Counsel for the prosecution declared that I had incurred the moral guilt of perjury, - without subjecting myself to the legal penalty. When I came into Court and repeated my assertion upon oath, under all the risks of the law, and tender ed the affidavits of others who saw hith, as I did, in his green coat at my house, the Awe Como scl repeated the accusation. I also affirnied, upon my honour, in the Court of 'King's Bench, and I do affirm upun my honour in this 110;ise, that I only saw him in a green .coat.—.l. have already stated, that an error of the must dahgerout nature was introiticed into the bri; In that brief, the coat of De W:renger is deci A.id ed to have been a red on e Avith a green callA/,,.04 my Counsel, in consequence, adinithA th a „ t f t red which had been sWorn to be green. tendon was not called to this error, Or.differel haswhich in the rs b e e o e t n istoyftiletiftel,ncaen,d Mr. Selic ant rer diction between . my a tlid a vit n a la n r ( l l ", v ci h t a irlebcklri l t : l ; told him, and he gave me credit for a u 6vers. 2o;-' I. in consequence thereof, but- refused to e. 1 0 1 ', - „ . , my servants, then ready in attendance.
