Gentleman ; but, however he might Lave thought
him desirous of inordinate power, and wrong in the
application of that power, he was suie that, :cow-d-
-ing to the impreision of his (Nlr: Pat's) compre-
hensive mind, he emplcyed it to tire security; great-
etesi and glory of this cotr•:try. Tlrose Honourable
Gentlemen who prilfesscd to be the most attached
friends of the eminent demised inair.hc(Mr.Sheridan)
thought alone did him injury, by coupling his name
with this ad, the remembrance of whi.:ll, he
thought, ought to be buried in his grave.
The giresi,ion for the third reading of the Bill
was then put, and carried without a division.
Upon the question, that the same du pass,
Mr. YORKI said, he thought it was ne-
cessary that the Bill should specifically renew rise
provision of toe Additional Force Act, that the
men raised by it were not to be sent out of the king-
dom.

Mr. PERCIVAL said, that as by this Bill both
theArrny of Reserve and the Additic nal Force Acts I
were revrealed, the greatest injustice would be done, I
if the same provi,ion as those Acts made for the
wives and families of the men, was not retained in
the Bill. _ _ .

A short conversat:on then ensued, in which Mr.
IN hidham and Mr .I,x wised, that the amendments
proposed mould unneces arily delay the fat.sing of
this Bill, and that they would be the subjed of ano-
ther Poll.
Mr. WM. SMITH thought there was much
weight in the anoendments, and that it would he
preferable to deity- the Bill a short time, in order to
make it complete, than to pass ancolier on purpose
to supply an omission.
Mr. PERCIVAL soid, that the injustice which •
would result . horn the omission was so apparent,
that the Amendments would certainly be made in
the Hou,e of Lords; the consequence of which
would be, as they related to the dispensation of
looney, that the Bill would be altogether rejoeted
on its rctnrn to this House.
Afscr the Speaker had explained away a doubt of
Mr.. Foes uto the forms per the Bill to
stand over,
Mr. Secretary Windham withdrew his Motion,
AM the Bill do pass, and the Bill :rands over for
-to-morrow, in order to Lave the Amendments
added.
Mr. YORKE said, he had before put a ques-
tion to the Right Hon. Secretary (Mr. Windhorn)
as to the time when he would bring forward. the
-teilitary measures which tnetoontry had been some
time expeaing ? As neither courtesy, nor a sense
of duty on the part of that Right Hen. Secretary
had induced h•in to return an answer. he (Mr
Yorke) repeated the questions.
Mr. WINDHAM replied, that he did not know
that he was bound to answer the interrogatories of
'the Hun. Gentleman, but he would say, if a day
had beep open whit:; he could have fixed upon for
the purpose of bringing those measures before the
House, the Honourable Gentleman's question would
' hare been unnecessary. He had already said, that
what he had to submit was ready ; and he would
now add, that a day would soon be metesoned for
the purpose

Day for taking into ermeideratioo His Majesty's
most gracious Message.
•The House having resolved itself into a Com-
mittee for the purpose oToossi Grey de Howie. in
. the Chair), and the 'll.o.aluste 1 avir.g been reed ;
Lord HENRY PEirlY said, the objea or what
he had to propose was, in the first instance, that an
annuity of 50001. should be voted to Earl Nelson,
`a id his heirs, from the Consolidated Pond ; and a
grant of 120.0(101. :or maintaining the d grOty of the
"hill* of thi late Barra Nelson, the inner part of
which to be applied to the/ erection of a house, and
the remainder vested in the funds, for the use of
the said family. Although he felt that nothing was
necessary to inure the concurrence of the House in
• this grant, it was not possible for any one to feel so
little in the situation that he then stood in. as to be
able to abstain from saying a few words, and expres-
sing how highly grat,fyiug was the task of making
sutra a proposition. There was no saving, however

, rant, as out of it might be expoaed the fairest
results, arising from the influence of perpetured
• example, and the solid marks of national gratitude.
It could not be especred shat he shon'd descant on
the merits o± the illustrious person who had de-
served se meth of his counts y ; but he was sure
that history did not furnish such a claim to the
grateful stations of a nation. If he could

of his liner &Eliot's did net datale the pro-
eisesiive, even there was sufficient for unceasing
asirniesean. But however toil:ant were his
achievements in the West Indies, in the beginning
of the last war. they were eclipsed by those which
marked the close of that wet., and the cionntence-
met: of the present. At his glory increased,
his call for public service was extended. Al-
melt imtuediats-ly after the war with Spain cont-
weaved, we find that the Italian.. Nelson took a
decided part in the aCtion off Cape St. Yinceal. It
will be remembered, that soon after, when, in fur-
therance of the amiikkota views of tile French Go..
Yernment, a powerful fleet sailed against the Eut,
he foiled the hopes of Fiance in that quarter, by its
...•li.e.c.e destruction. Soon after his route, the
