LORD VISCOUNT MELVILLE..
Mr. WHITBREAD then rose, and spoke to the
following effect r—s 4 Whatever feelingsi may have
felt, or whatever improper motives fir my past
Parliamentary vandal may have been imputed to
me on account of the part I have been led to take in
the eensuring a great public cklinquent, I trust there
is no one who doubts my having felt the greatest
anxiety; but, be assured, Sir, that none of these past
feelings of anxiety are to be compared with those
which I experience upon the present occasion. But,
after that internal struggle which every public man
must experience in calling for justice to be done to.
wards an individual, on behalf of his oflimded coun-
try, and, after the maturest consideration, I have
come to the point of *Sion, which I consider it to be
incumbent upon me now to take ; but not without
having entertained some apprehensions and doubt as
to the course which the House of Commons will and
ought to pursue upon the present important occa-
sion. There is only one of two points for our con-
sideration ; the one is that which proceeds (torn the
source of justice ; and the other is that of a mistaken
clemency, which, if indulged upon the present occa-
sion, will, in my apprehension, prove to the detriment
of this House, and eventually of the public at large.
--If, Sir, in consequence of the Resolutions of this
House of the Bth of April last, an humble Address
had been forthwith presented to His Majesty, pray-
ing that Viscount Melville might bedismissedfrornhis
offices, and employmentsheld under pleasure et the
Crown, and from His Majesty's Councils and Pre-
sence for ever. I apprehend no dissentient voice would
have been lifted up against such a Motion."
Mr. PIT f here interrupted the Hon. Gentleman,
and rose to speak to order. " I understood," said
Mr. Pitt, " that the Hon. Gentleman had given no.
tice of his intention to move, Wit the House would
this day take into considOrition His Majesty's
ewer so their Address. Now, Sir, upon this
jet I have a communication to make to the Plia_nni,
which may probably anticipate.what the Has. UMW
tleman has to say. I am, in the judgment dr le
House, whether the Hon. Gentleman will now ..
low me to make this communication ?"
Mr. WHITBREAD proceeded—" I intended,
Sir, to conclude my speech with a motion that His
Majesty's Answer tothe Address of this House should
be taken into consideration ; but, at the same time, I
apprehend that, whatever communication the Right
Hon. Gentleman may have to make, will be rn r:
properly brought forward aloe I shall have made
my motion. I was stating, Sir, my apprehension,
th.it if the resolution of this House of the Bth of
April last had been followed op with an Address to
His Majesty, praying that His Majesty would be
graciously pleased to remove Viscount Melville
from his presence and councils for ever I or, sup-
posing his Lordship had c..ntinued to ks, a Member
of this House, if the motion had been for the espial.
