DUKE OF FORK.
The Order of the Dee having been real for tak-

Committee appoimed to inquire into the conduct
of his Royal Highness the Commander-hi-Chief,
Mr. PERCEVAL resumed the debate of last night

sit, of occupy ing their attention. In the course of
his former discussion, he had disposed of the eases
of Ilrooke and Knight, and of Capt. l'onyn's pro-
motion, so AS to leave in his mind nothing more
to add to them. tAitla respect to Major breech's
levy, there had been some papers laid on their
Table, which lie had not adverted to, as iirit coneeiv.
ing them necessary to the question, they relating
to the Major's appointment to his present station
at Jainiito ; but it would be recollected, that this
was merely a resumption of the situation he had
held before the grant of its levy, mod. therefore hr
still contended, that notwithstarding this, as the
Duke could not be said to have proveled for hen.
the transaetion was a proof of his conscious inno-
cence, and of his not fearing to provoke attack.—
Bid lie had found that an iintite.s4on had heels tussle

order was that of Colonel Shaw ; and here 'Articu-
lar attention would be necessary to the. evidence of
Mrs. Clarke,. in which she would be found to he
as false as in all the rest of her testimony. By
her evidence, it would appear, that Col. Shaw had
offered her limo'. ; that he wished to be appointed
Colonel of Cie Manx regiment, but that it was
pre-engaged ; that he applied for *ulna other ap-
pointment, and was promised that at the Cape
of Good Hope; that instead of wool. she had re-
ceived only 5001.; that she wusrlissatiefied with that
and that the Uuke of York told her he was a bad
man to have any dealings with, and that he had
reffactil him to half-pay. All this was certainly
contirinatoiv of the statement of the Honourable
Member. But there was a document in contra
diction to all this, which could tint lie; and this
was a letter from Colonel Shaw himself to M.
Clarke, wherein he offers her an additional sum ci'
3001. a.-year, to be remitted to her during his resi-
dence at the Cape, upon condition of his being put
upon full-pay. This letter, instead of a failure as
alleged on his part, proved an offer mach larger
than • that lie was supposed to have failed in,
and deserving a conduct very different from that
of attention which she alleged she paid to it.
Would any one say, that such au offer was not
worthy attention? or rather, what attention would
they be inclined to pay to such evidence as her's
Upon this subject ? When Sir Hurry Burrard like
wise interested himself so Warmly in his behalo,
the answer of Colonel Shaw proved bet to huve
been perfectly conversant with the terms of his
appointment, that of being to be put on
half-pay. What, then, becomes of her asser-
tion, that he complained of being put on half-
hay ? The fart, however, might be this; that
aving succeeded in what lie first looked for. I e
might, in common with many otbers, be anxious to
secure somewhat in addition to what he had Siff
ed before. Thus, then, was the evidence of Mrs.
Clarke, under this head, completely disproved.—
The next case was that of Mr. Dowler. This

.

rested entirely on the evidence of that Gentleman
and Mrs. Clarke, and he should oat repeat the ob-
servations he had made on it yesterday. By that
it appeared he had given her 10001. ; but whether
that war for his place, or for whist other considera-
tion, he %mold not take upon himself to say ; cer-
tain it s•a•, he war her faiourite paramour, and
had also assisted her in raisirt various soma
of money. It was oleo certain he had Overi
a very different seconot of his appointment,
until arty r he had been clowned with her.
These were the impressions this evidence had
made upon his mind, and he trusted that a can.
did examination of it would produce the •arse
upon the minds of others. He could not here. ,
however, avoid noticing the maliner iii which 11 a
public wind had been poisoned by the variccf
publications, in which a mixture of falsehood ai.d
misrepresentation had been circulated with the
most active malignity, and which were of such in

.t 1 in Glonceetereplace, she said the loner
,ved 4,4001.; so that, upon her own statements
aere must have been a residue of 20001. for defray-
ing her debts. She had said, upon the subject of
hills received from the Duke, Mr. sllatker could
shew a bill for 4001. received on account of diu-
ponds pawned; so that whet these hills were
compared, they would be foiled to amount to the
sum in his statement. It' such criminal transac-
tions lied been going on as she hail stated, surely her;
patronage would have been sufficient to enable her
to avoid these embarrastimems; and therefore it
was a plain inference, that the Duke of York could
not, fur a moment, be supposed to participate in.
any of these corrupt means whatever. The Right
lion.. Gentlemen said he could net help remarking
upon the curious manner hi which Mis. Favorie.
had been brought forward, and expressed Ins firm
conviction that she was related to Mrs. Clarke ; he
thought she was her lialf-b!ster. Who could be-
lieve any thing she had said' What a strange-
story
she told about Mr. Who ; Old afterwards,
hen she knew Mr. Ellis was to he brought
tore and as a witness, she went to hill), Contradict-
td all she hid said before in the Committee, mail
when She again came to the Bar, contradicted all
she had said to Mr. Ellis. On Mr. Ellis coining
to the !louse, it set the falselioad of Mrs. Clarke
and Mrs. Favorie in its true colours. Mrs.
Clarke had said she never knew Mr. Fuvorie by
the name of Faiembar ; hut Mr. Ellis proved that
she sent her there by that name, and frequently
visited her, where she was known 11 no other.—
This he thought a sufficient feature in the case, to
shies, that they were not independent witnesses they
had to deal with, but that they had pre.concerteit
their plans, sad had entered into a conspiracy to
defeat the purposes of the inquiry.—(Hear!

it necessary further to trouble the [louse. If there
acre any truth at all in the charge against his Rosa'
nightie.., or if he posseoateil a ty Mulinatioo to
rive emolument by the sacrifice of -Ilia duty,• was
it to be supposed he would have chosen such
agents ? nr, if PO, was it likely lie would have select.
peronns of integrity, and of great ability, to sur-
round his person anti till hit offices. The Right
lion. tient. then said, he had gone through the
else, and thought he had shewn enough to prove
that the Moose must give their aye or no upon the
question liefore them. After they hail given their
decision upon that point, it would then be necassare

for whether his Royal Highness eery guillY6t not

it was immaterial; as in either case he was slew
