the action of the 12th of April 1782. If by saying that he had been a spectator of that action, the Hon. Gentleman had any such meaning, he should be glad to explain himself, because in that case it was not more an insinuation against him, than against the noble Lord who commanded in Chief, since if the fact were, that he had not done his duty, the noble Lord was bound to have brought him to a Court Martial, and made an example of him on the spot.
Sir Jas. Erskine rose, but was interrupted by a Member (we believe Mr. Grosvenor) who spoke to order and said, he had witnessed so many of the disagreeable discussions, that such sort of conversation led to, that he hoped the matter would not be taken up by any Gentleman but the noble Lord and the Hon. Gentleman who had made use of the expressions alluded to.
Sir James Erskine declared, he meant to speak to order. He then declared his extreme surprize at hearing his Hon. Friend called upon to give an explanation of an expression, which he had amply and completely explained, the very day on which he had made use of it.
Mr. Windham argued in like manner, and contended, that it was disorderly and contrary to all regular practice to call upon an Hon. Gentleman to explain an expression that he had let fall in the course of debate, four or five days after that debate had taken place; but, in this case it was singularly wonderful, because his Hon. Friend had directly, upon his being called to order, done away the possibility of its being supposed, that he meant to convey any insinuation to the prejudice of the noble Lord's character, or professional reputation, by declaring in express and unequivocal terms, that he had no such intention, as some Gentleman had hastily imagined, he entertained, when he had said the noble Lord had been a spectator of the celebrated action on the 12th of April 1782. Mr. Windham confessed, when his Hon. Friend had let fall the expression, it had struck his ear as meant to convey an unpleasant insinuation, and therefore he had felt great pleasure in hearing his Hon. Friend do that of himself which he meant to have advised him to do, viz. disavowing an intention of making any insinuation whatever to the prejudice of the noble Lord's gallant conduct; but Mr. Windham said, he could give another proof both to the House and to the Noble Lord, that his Honourable Friend had been sincere in his disavowal of any such intention, and that was, his Honourable Friend's expression of the utmost anxiety to him, in private, on the day of the Debate, that such a construction should have been put upon his words, as he saw had been entertained by the other side of the House, and a declaration, that he had intended such meaning himself.
The SPEAKER stated the Order and Usage of proceeding, when any improper or offensive words were spoken in the course of debate, to be immediately taken down, and a proceeding had upon them before any other business or question was debated, but that it was irregular when the words had not been complained of at the time, to enter into discussion of any expression that had fallen in the course of debate, three or four days afterwards.
Mr. Burke made a similar defence of Mr. Courtenay with Mr. Windham, and begged leave to and, as a man of honour, that Mr. Courtenay had, on the very day of the debate, when the expression in question escaped him, declared to him, that it was an accidental lapse of speech, into which he had been betrayed by hurry; and that instead of spectator of the action of Lord Rodney, he meant to have used the word participator , but that the other word dropped from him inadvertently. Mr. Burke added, that no man could appear more hurt than his Honourable Friend did, when he found the construction that a part of the House had put upon it, and that he expressed great uneasiness to him on that account after he had done speaking. Indeed it was impossible that his Honourable Friend, whose wit was not greater than his justice, nor more prominent than his good humour and even-temper could have intended offensively to throw out any thing injurious to the character of the noble Lord, to whose exertions the country stood so highly indebted, and whose merit that House had recognized in a manner the most flattering to honest pride. Mr. Burke spoke of the noble Lord's behavior on the 12th of April, 1782, declaring that it dignified the title which he wore. After many other very handsome things of his Lordship, Mr. Burke repeated his assertion, relative to Mr. Courtenay's declaration to him, that he had not meant to throw out any imputation prejudicial to the noble Lord's character.
The member who had called Sir James Erskine to order, rose again, and said, if Mr. Courtenay, whom he had the honour to be acquainted with, and knew to be a man of honour, did not himself feel it to be necessary to say any thing more upon the subject, he thought the conversation ought not to continue.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, said that he should take care not to be disorderly in what he had to say, for he would conclude with a motion, and that a motion which, if the Hon. Gentleman who had been the cause of the present conversation, had any intention of casting an aspersion on the character of the Noble Lord, would give him an opportunity of doing it fairly and manfully, and not by indirect and covert insinuation. He admitted that the loud and general indignation excited in all parts of the House, a few nights ago, at the suspicion that an imputation had been hinted to the prejudice of the noble Lord, who so justly stood in the highest rank of public esteem and gratitude, and against whom any imputation would be a reflexion on that house, which had made him the object of a public vote of thanks, and on his Majesty who had bestowed upon him a distinguished mark of his favour,
for his eminent and memorable services. He admitted that the expression of this general indignation and astonishment in the whole house, had drawn from the Hon. Gentleman some sort of explanation on the subject. But those who knew that Hon. Gentleman, would know that it was no very extraordinary supposition to be entertained, that explanation though in terms it might appear an apology, might in fact be meant rather as an aggravation than an extenuation of the injury—it appeared, however, from the assertion of two friends of the Hon. Gentleman, that he himself had declared to them, that he was sorry he had used the expression. Why not then in public what he had already said in private? The Hon. Gentleman would have an opportunity now in consequence of his motion of saying for once whether he was serious or no, and if he had nothing to state to substantiate an insinuation against the noble Lord, at least to give a retraction of that which he was supposed, and which he had supposed himself to have made. The Motion he should make, would be first, that the vote of thanks of that House should be read, and afterwards that it should be reprinted in the Votes of that day.
Mr. Fox declared, he had no objection to that motion, but would support it, having on every occasion, notwithstanding any little political differences of opinion, that might prevail between the noble Lord and himself, uniformly expressed his sincere satisfaction in having been himself happily the person to move the vote of thanks, in the House, when he had the honour to stand in a particular situation. Mr. Fox said, he knew those thanks to have been highly merited, and so far from having any objection to the proposed motion, it would in his opinion do good, by refreshing the minds of all ranks of people of the gallantry of the officers, whose names were inserted in the vote of thanks, and of the very great obligations the country owed them. With regard to his Hon. Friend however Mr. Fox said, he could not help thinking he had been rather hardly called upon. For that was the real fact? His Hon. Friend had let fall an expression to which a meaning had been annexed foreign from that which his Hon. Friend intended it to convey. The instant his Hon. Friend finds the construction that had been put upon it, he rises voluntarily, and in a manner that must have satisfied every man who heard it, declared he had not intended to suggest or insinuate any thing derogatory to the reputation, or professional conduct of the noble Lord in question, and yet he is called upon at four days distance, to explain his meaning over again. He might as well be called upon the next day to repeat his explanation a third time, the day after a fourth, and so on to the end of the Session. Besides, Mr. Fox observed, there was something so peculiarly conciliatory about the Right Hon. Gentleman, that he wished to know, if he himself thought his talking of retraction and his manner of animadvertting on his Hon. Friend's mode of speaking, was very likely to incline his Hon. Friend to rise more than he felt inclined to rise before? He added a few more allusions to the little tendency to conciliate, that there had been in Mr. Pitt's speech, and after something still further complimentary to Lord Hood, sat down.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer declared, that he had not meant to be conciliatory in what he had said, for he looked upon it, that motives of private honour alone ought to be sufficient to induce the Hon. Gentleman to make that apology personally, which his friend had thought proper to make for him, and which, though it was necessary for his own credit and reputation, could in reality affect the noble Lord no more than the insinuation that had fallen from him had or could do. He was not a candidate with the Right Hon. Gentleman for the Hon. Gentleman's friendship, but he left it to the House to judge which acted most like a friend, he who recommended to him to make an apology, which could do honour to none but himself, or the Right Hon. Gentleman who encouraged him to remain silent and acquiesce in the suspicion of having made an insinuation, by which, if he had indeed made it, none but himself could suffer.
Mr. Fox rose again, and said, the Right Hon. Gentleman's not envying him the friendship of the Hon. Gentleman, who sat near him could only be owing to his not having the happiness to know him, and thence to have learnt the value of the friendship of a man of his Hon. Friend's integrity and many virtues.
Lord Hood rose again and said, the fact was, that he had not heard the expression himself, as he happened to be moving from his seat when the word was used; nor was it till the next day that he knew the nature of the sort of attack that had been made upon him. He had then come down meaning to call for an explanation, but he found the House engaged in a very important discussion, that of the question of Impeachment, and as soon as it was decided, Gentlemen rose altogether and went to the Bar of the House of Lords; and the next day, when he came to the House for the same purpose, the Hon. Gentleman was not present but came in just in time to divide against the Post-horse Tax Farming Bill, and sat all the time close to the Bar, and when the division was over, he went away; that, therefore, was the first day he had found an opportunity of saying the little he had thought it due to himself to say upon the occasion; had he known that the Hon. Gentleman had declared he did not mean any insinuation against his character, he should have been fully satisfied; but surely the House would not think he had been unnecessarily scrupulous when they considered, that an officer's character was all he had to carry him through the world.
Mr. Burke rose once more to do justice to the noble Lord's character, and then the question was put and carried nomine contradicente .

To a MAN of lively but unequal Spirits in Conversation.
A Flaring light fatigues and hurts the eye: In lifeless shade we nothing can descry. Avoid extremes: an universal rule! Though rarely understood by any fool. Incessant laughers weary me: but then, I tire alike of dull and gloomy men. Your gloomy men, who frown at harmless glee, Were never made, my Friend, for you or me. Yet still 'twere better to be sometimes dull, Than of smart things to seem for ever full. A clever fellow! He who courts that name, Of solid sense will scarce insure the fame. Good-humour, ease, and just remark between, In conversation form the happy mean.

TO THE PUBLIC.
THIS Work is too highly celebrated among the inquisitive and ingenious to render a lengthy Account of it necessary. The great number of Copies which have been sold in Europe, and the Extracts taken from it and Published in the different Magazines and Newspapers is an unquestionable Evidence of its literary Reputation. To be informed of the Soil and Produce of this Country; of the Character, Employment and Manners of its Inhabitants, as observed by a Foreigner of Distinction in a Tour through the United States, is an Object of importance to every intelligent American. — The different Sieges and Battles, and many interesting Particulars of the late astonishing Revolution are unfolded and commented upon. — The high military Rank of the Author introduced him to an acquaintance with many of those patriotic Worthies who stood foremost in the Fields of Fame, and in the Defence of the Rights of Mankind. — He particularly delineates the Characters of Generals Washington, Green, Gates, St. Clair, Huntington, Lincoln, Schuyler, Knox, Wayne, Glover, Howe, Heath, Moylan, &c. &c. Governors Jefferson, Harrison, Trumbull, &c. &c. Mr. Robert Morris, Financier, Mr. Paine, and a great many others. But his Attention was not here confined; the fair Daughters of Freedom claim their Share; and it is easy to perceive, that the noble Heart of the polite Marquis would melt under the Rays of American Beauty. — Shall it be added, that the exact Station, foreign Connections, and superior Erudition of the Author place him above the suspicion of Adulation, and must have dictated to his Pen the Language of Sincerity.
This Work is therefore calculated, not only to answer the Purposes of Utility, but to afford likewise the highest Entertainment. — The whole is interspersed with curious Anecdotes.
*** This Undertaking is the cheapest ever offered to the Public; and Gentlemen who are desirous to encourage the Manufactures of their Country, will doubtless be pleased to think that the Price of this Book, although printed on an handsome Type, good Paper and neatly Bound and Lettered, will be but half the Price of the cheapest Edition yet imported from Europe. New-York, June 4, 1787. 67
