Secretary in his exalted charaCter of the Noble Earl ; cobsidered his services to his Country the Most brilliant and lasting, and his cori dua upon all occasions that Of* brave and . gallant Officer . but he 'could not agree upon the prin-, ciple of this No Charges had been ,brought against the NoSle Earl ; it . Was only a Motion. for' referring Papers to .ft Committee: , No man had a , higher ,opinion or greater esteem for him ; let the House go into a Coinmittee, and dispose of these Papers, and then no one would be More forward in voting'his thanks to the Noble Earl than-he should he. The, Hon. Gentleman who brought forward . this Motion had stated ,faels with' great perspt-, cuity, which, in _ opinion, bad not been an swered : upon ibose ,grounds, - therefore, he oP . - tiosed the .Motion. - Mr. YORKE' entirely differed from the Ho nourable Geptleman 3 he considered the Charges as frivolous and vexatious'; and he most heartily agrced in the Motion - of the Right Honourable Secretary of State. The very meritorious-services of that •Noble Earl, and the endeavotirs he bad made to corte6,l abUses during his short Admi nistration, deserved the thanks of the Public 'at large. . • 'Mr. CA2:NING warmly opposed the Motion : be, referred to the case of a Right Honourable Friend: Upon. going out of office; a censure was proposed to be .passed upon his condua and when the thanks of the 'House were moved, the Right Honourable Secretary of State very warmly op-: - posed - it, and seemed to forget all the cases he had 'this night cited for his own:ptirpose. In the ease of Sir Home Popham it -was never dreamt .to pas's a Vote of Thanks on his conduct:, conf'ssed that he had very graye and serious doubts in his mind, from the statement' of the Honourable Gen tleman (Mr; Jeffery), which had not been answered by any arguments on the other side. He. concluded by moving the previous_ Question. Mr: Fox, Mr. CANNING, Viscount Howici., and Mr. JEFFEirG severally explained. Mr. STURG.FS BOURNE had no objeCtion _to the Vote, provided it wits confined to the zeal of, the Noble, Earl for ;Reform, and did not extend to a general Vote; ceMprehending the Dock-yards, val Stores, and his . Naval Administration in general. He would allude, and that relu&antly, to one be Meant the impreSSing: of a Naval Officer- in . the Hall of the Admiralty by the order of the Noble Earl and lie contended, that unless the House ,ap proVed. that fail`, consideration, they could not agree to 4 . General Vote.- TIERNtiY exprisSed I:is most hearty coil- . CuiTence in the . Motion 'of his Right Honourable Friend (Mr, Fpx). - Mr: Bsxi s thought. that .thiS Motion came quite by Surprise tiP'on the .`House ; and after a few ob servations, delared should oppose it. Sir Culßi Pof;F, .cmisiderQd the Charges al ledged‘ against the Noble Earl - as: frivolous and vexatious, apd: not confirm:ids in, any one single point, "Earl St. Vincent, he observed, never knew BarthOlomew bad been pressed ; and - the meritori ous condo tot the-i. Noble Ead, in endeavouring to suppress aliases in the Naval Department. de: served high, public approbation ; he therefore should .'heartily concur in the;Right Honourablesecretary's Motion. ) , E,..Ticil'AL sail, he certainly . should vote against the previous question ; be was also adverse to referring those Papers - to a - Committee 'of the whole House, as he thought no public good could possibly arise frOm it. "He confessed he could not speak on this subjea Withdutpartiality, as he was prejudiced in flivoUr of the Noble Earl, having had the .honour to a& with him and.approve of his inea siareS. He thought the guestiOn should have been gone into in 'some shape or other, and really wished the Vote of Thanks h - ad come in some better: way, as the manner in-which it was to be carried would certainly deprive. it of that value:which _the Noble , • . Earl Would otherwise have set upoillt. The.question being ,lordly called for, Strangers were ordered: to withdraw. •In their absence the previous Question was negatived, and the original Vote of Thanks was carried without as division, The other Orders of ; the Day were then dis posed oil Adjourned at Half-past Three o'clock.
