HIS MAJESTY'S MESSAGE.
The Earl of Ltrearoin. preheated • Message
from His Majesty, wherein it was stated, that ,o His
Majesty haring taken into consideration the eminent
services of Cieut.-Orneral Lord Viscount Welling-
ton, and willing to confer upon him every signal
may k of His Majesty's high regard for the valour he
displayed at the battle of Talavera, trusted, that
the native would duly entertain His Majesty's
most gracious wish, and make an ample provision
for the proper support of those digivitir, His Mir
jesty had granted to him, fur the term of his own
life, and that of his two successors." The Noble
Earl then moved "Tbot this message be taken (u we

STATE OF THE COMMERCE OF THIS COUNTRY.
Berl BeraMT, ague-ably to the expressions
used in His Mejesty's speech, on the firat day of
the Sessions, preseuttd certain papers relative to
the commercial prosperity of the kingdom, con-
taining an account of the exports and imports for
the two years preceding last October. lit pre-
senting these papers he was led to.make a few ob-
servations on the commercial state of the couatry-

that the amount of the export. fur the three quar-
ters of the year ending in October, 1907, was
*9,000,0001; in 180$ it would appear the amount
of exports was shout 26,000.0001., by a calcula-
tion in October, of the saute year. But it
would be evident front these. pep. rs, that such was
the state of our (rude during the Lest

amount of exports, for the same period of time,

comple-e i• futation of those principles laid down
by his Noble Flied opposite (Grenville), during the
last and a former Session of Parliament? His
Noble Friend hail stated, that if the measures
adopted by His Majesty's (keen:swot, in regard
to we commerce, were acted upon and pursued,
they would lead to the complete destruction of our
trade. 'Their Lordships would observe, that. al-

With regard to the United States of America,

again, if the duninutiou wits one million, our in-

marks upon the observations made by his Noble
Friend, and also upon the papers laid this night

that was not to be considered as a sign of commer.

Lord Guest:Ai insisted, that the Noble Earl

Tema OF 'WANKS TO LORD GAVOIER.
Upon the Order of the Day being read,
• . Lord Mutentava rose end addressed the House
. at considerable length. He lamented that the UM-
time he was about to propose, should trot have been
• brought forward en a former occasion. lie had pre-
pared himself to state much to their Lordships on
the present question, end such conduct had be-
cause more panieudarly nes:emery, since he had
heard what passed aposs a similar Motion of Thanks
for the glottals victory of Talavera. This motion
was deferred only from necessity, because he could
ia st have ealled none their Lordships for their
• votes, when a Noble Lord, in his place, in another
house, bead declared, if that rote of thanks
were proposed, he should conviikr himself bound
its duty to give it his decided opposition. The
duty of the Admiralty immediately suggested to
them what they owed to the country and the two
Hamm of Parham nt ; they deformed the reward
of this gallant Commander, till they investigated
the /moon of Lord Cochrane's objection. In
amt. Lord Gambier hismetf declared, that lie
could not rest till every doubt as to his ammeter

•to each other in point of valour and brilliancy..

where every thing alleged rested on mere whispers
and rumours, and there was no accuser. On the
14th of April, the country had but one feeling
on this glorious occasion. They felt the utmost
exultation and triumph ; not from the extent or
value of the conquest; not even from the valour
displayed on the occasion ; but from this con-
sideration, that the system of blockade, which was
in general so tedious and unsatisfactory, having
now heroine absolutely necessary, it was proved to
Our enemies, that they durst not teen leave port,
and venture from their docks, but they must be
destroyed under their very batteries, by the gal-
lantry and fearless intrepidity of British seamen. It
was not only in the sending Lord Gambier to a
Court-Martial. contrary to all the rules of the ser-
vice, or customs of the Board, thut the Admiralty
were wrong ; they were much to blame for the whi-
ner in which they sent Lord Cochrane (however
meritorious he might be, or had shewn himself) to
take the superintendence of the attack. From the
moment in which their order on that point reached
the Commander, his command was at an end, and
if such a precedent was to be followed up, it would
lead to the destruction of all the spirit of the
navy, and be utterly subversive of that discipline
which had conducted it to the pitch of glory it now
boasted. The Noble Lord here eulogised, in high
twine, the conduct and character of Lord Gambier.
As Commander of the Fleet. he and Lord Coch-
rane had different objects in view. The latter had
only glory in contemplation, and the more ships he
cooed destroy, the more his fame. The former
had no aiportnnity of reaping much fame, but
from the preservation of his important charge, the
migh.y Hereto of Britain. Yet. under these cir-
cumstances, and the manner in which Lord Coch-
rane hod been sent to him, had he evinced a little
mind ? No ; the principal contents of his dis-
patches were the praise of Lord Cochrane.—
(heer!j—lt was then the duty of Ministers loog
ago to have moved this Vote of Thanks; and such
a line of conduct would have been more becoming.
than to have been diverted from their purpose by
entering into a correspondesce with a Member
of the other House, from whom they expected
opposition. The Noble Viscount then controverted
the opinion of Lord Holland, that the House was
lux in their vote of thanks, sod would rather see •a
hundred votes omitted, than party spirit mingle in
one. After the ordeal the Noble Admiral bad gene
throngh, he thought him more than ever entitled to
the highest honour they could bestow on him. •
The Earl of LiVESPOOL defended the Admiralty
ferns the charge of improperly appointing a Court-
Martial for the trial of Lord Gambier. This, he
contended, was absolutely required of them by the
Naval Code (into a description of which he went at
some length). which required trial an all occasions,
where it could be supposed every thing
.possilde
was net done by a Commander, to town, melt. sod
destroy, the enemy. A charge of this kind was
made, in the present instance, not by whispers, not
' on light authority.•-•but by an Officer actively and
principally employed oo the service. But the
justification of the Aihniralty did nut rest here ;
Lord Gambier himself, hearing of these accus-
ations. demanded a trial, to clear his feint and
character. Upon these grounds, while he.thought
the Admiralty must be acquitted of censure for
bringing the Noble Admiral to a trial, that trial
could not, in the slightest degree, depreciate from
his services, which were such as well to entitle him
to the vote proposed by his Noble Friend.
Lord HOLLAND explained.
Earl GROIVENom refuted the charges of party
spirit. and entered into a philippic against the Mi-
nisters for their conduct throughout the affair now
wider consideration. lie thought the honours of
the (louse were becoming too easy of attainment ;
awl, though the present sole might add to that
opinion, he would only express his dissent, without
telling for a division.

Lo;'d Clftxxvit.LE mid, if the question had not
been a national one, he would not have encroached
on the time of their Lordships. Ile considered it
highly criminal in the Lords of the Admiralty, that
the thanks had not been before earned into execu-
tion. He could not view it in the light of a party
question, and mast deprecate the weakums of
Minister., whieh brought the Noble Admiral to a
court-inertial on the siguitiration of a junior officer
and a member •f the House of Commons. Ile
would not oppose the vote of thanks. It was high time
that the cry of party should not be held out by the
Noble Secretary (Lord Liverpool) ; for he and his
friends had waited the events of the campaigns in
Spain and Portugal, without putting the Noble
Lords opposite to a blush. When they were
told that the army under the great and brave
Sir John Moore, had wily 'suffered the loss of 6000
sumo, he nod his Noble colleagues rested satisfied ;
but why did they so? It was because they thought
more object would have lieen gained. Was the blood
and treasure of the country to be lent, and no
armsl good proceed from it? Would the people
of England he satisfied at such a disposition, when
an actual good had bee., obtained ? Were we in a
better situation, as related to Spain, than we
were before a man was •eist ? lie wished nut to
dwell on the battle of Talavera, where they had
been also told there was not a lose of upwards of
6,000 men. But could he, its that House, giro his
silent vote on such • question, w hen the dependence.
the retirees of the country, were so much misap-
plied ? it had been the custom of their ancestors
only to give a vote of thanks to those commanders
whose schievemente put beyond all doubt their
title to the honour. WWI far from wishing it to
ler understood that the present thanks sere lightly

given ; but he went, ;r they were to be frustrated
by the opinion of a junior Officer, they were not
worth obtaining; and if the present Ministers perse-
vered in such a system, all emulation, both in army
end navy, must be lost. Ile was of opinion there
was only cne mode of measuring the thanks that
ought to he given, which was, that which concurred
with the public feehog. They were the true crite-
rion to judge by. Did not the only argument that
arose ou the question, spring from that kind of im-
becility or weakness, which preponderates in the
conduct of His Majesty'syMinisters ? Like a robin,
of a cold day, who seeks shelter, and perches on the
hand of his enemy, man ; so with Ministers. they
brought a Noble Lord to trial, to cover their de-
linquency, in sending out the Captain of a frigate
with nearly the equal rights of the Commander of
the Channel Fleet ; so, in imitation of the simple
robin, when severely pressed, they perched on a
Court-Martial, the result of which reflected honour
ou the accused. He deprecated that part of the con-
duct of the Court-Martial, which went to question
inferior officers as to the general propriety of the
conduct of the Commander-imChief. If Lord
Gambier did deserve the high reward of their thanks,
how could Ministers reconcile to themselves the
injustice of which they had been guilty, io the ap-
pointment of a Court-Martial ? The Admiralty, in
his opinion, could not be too kghly censored, for
being the cause of lessening the honour which Lord
Gonsbkr must otherwise have received.

The Earl of Bucxt IiGHAMSBIIte regretted much
that Government had departed from the usual course
upon such occasions ; it was always customary, on
hearing of ally great victory, to rote the thanks,
upon which principle Lord Gambier should have
been thanked iu the first instance. He admitted
that the service was important, and was persuaded
that the public thought more highly of Lord Gam-
bier, since the Court-Martial, than before it ; he,
for his part, would gise the thanks to the Noble
Lord for having destroyed the enemy's ships ; and
also for having withstood that advice ethich was
calculated to hurry him into a course of conduct,
the consequence of which most have been greater
loos to the fleet which he commanded.

The LORD CsAticst.toa thought that party
should not interfere in questions of this nature. it
the thanks of Parliament were merited, they ought
not to be given under circumstances which went to
lessen their value, nor should any other question be
agitated upon such occasions, sot connected with
the point at issue. A Noble Viscount had censured
the appointment of Lord Cochrane, though he had
often said before, that that was not the place to chi-
cane the propriety of such appointments. He en-
tered into a justification of the. Government in
granting the Court-martial. which, especially as
Lord Gambier himself had applied for it, he consi-
dered it was right to appoint; nor could be see, if
it was right to vote for the thanks before the
Court-Martial, that it could be wrong to vote for
them after. The question of the Court-Martial
affected the Government alone, and was in no way
connected with the merits or demerits of his Lord-
ship.
Lord Viscount SIDNORTI agreed. that as the
result of the Court-Martial was an honourable
acquittal, there was nothing in it that should influ-
ence them to withhold the thanks.

The Earl of DARMLZT did not wish to detract
from the merit. of Lord Gambier. but he could
not consider the action of such importance as to
call for the thanks °fiche Howie. He ridiculed the
ides of comparing it with the victory of Talavera.
and thought that their honours should be reserved
for other occasions.
