Mr. I lam:: las Banottsi ro.e amidst a cry of
"Question, question ;•' we understood hint to ad-
vocate the cause of his Rofal ['igluleis.
HF.ltititT said he perceived the I Iroise were
tired of the subject, and would not eut.:r into par-
ticulars. He diet' generally remarked upm the
conduct of Mrs. Clarke ; said she was influenced
by jealousy, envy, awl revenge, awl could not think,
from the bottom of his heart, that the Duke or
York ever participated is emoluments derived
iron these corrupt practices, or was pe►.onaily cor-
rupt, but thought lie had grounds to believe their
existence.

Mr. Beasts said, that from the debate having
been so 'wig protracted, he would state his opinion
coneisely aatl distinctly. lie regretted that the
Consmander-iii•Chief was brokigist into such a
situation as that in which he was placed by His
Majesty's Ministers; but as he was to prominent
his Aye or No, he declared that if he were swore
cud impannelled, his verdict Would be against the
Duke of Yosik. He adverted to what had bete
raid by Gentlemen high ia_the laW, that they were
to consider theevidenoe lie-fore themes the evidence
of accomplices; if accomplices haw. their evidence
contrary to the truth, they were liable to ;moist,-
merit; and although Mrs. Clarke might have been
instigated by revenge, she had not the inducement
of one whose self-exiitenee depended upon the
event.--Wood the coatrailictions in the testimony
be should riot dwell. as that subject had already
been ably discussed. The' general opinion of the
Gentlemen of the Bar was, that the evidence was
impressive and couclusive. He then touched upon
the corroboration of Mrs. Clarke's evidence, and
said, that one corroborating evidence alone was
sufficient in Criminal Courts. He could mention
a recent iustance, which most be fresh in the minds
of every one, the murderers of Mr. Steele; and
iu that it was a corroboration of what? of
words only--whlat a police officer overheat d a con-
versation between the two prisoners relative to some
where one wad to the other it must have
been the place where we drank the ;Tin:" audit wes
upon the ethroboration of the words the giN, the
men lust their lives. But in regard to the
subject before the House, the evidence was corm-
bo,•ateil, not inertly by one, but many. If
the House acted contrary to the evidence. they
would condemn the verdict of all juries, wino
invariably decided according to it. lie spoxe
strongly, because he felt warmly. The peo-
ple, too, have strong feelings upon the aulaect,
which he attribntetl to the natural consequence of
their habits, as, they were taught to value trial
by jury, and acted es Jurymen ; the House ought
by their decision to give the people a lesson
how to judge. He regretted the amendment had
been moved by the Hon. Baronet, hot if it were
Treseed, lie should fed himself bound to support it.
he Hon. Gentleman concluded with exprewing
his gratitude to the House for the attention which
they hail paid to his observations, and hoped be had
not trespassed on their indulgence.
Mr. MANN ER3 SerTox could not agree with the
sentiments winch had Rotten from The Hon. Gen- -
tlemin who had just oat down. Ile thought the
Duke of York's name and character had been
calisiniiisted, leaving hiin without a passibility of
redress nr ofjustitiention, unless Irons their decision.
He unsold not derogate from the duty he owed to
the and the Hostile would take care its elm-
tacter not he blasted by a wrong decision
upon loose evident.,; the etideuee at their bar
mu_t be loose compared with that in a Court of
Law. Here, all questions, whether hearing on the
subject, or not, are put ; there none are put but
what are strictly to the point ; there too, they are
examined upon oath; here they ale not. The 1100.
Gentlemen then said, he readily accepted the chal-
lenge thrown out by a worthy Baronet opposite,
and couscielitionvly declared, that lie believed no
ground whatever Lsisted for attaching corroption,
coomviiiitsr, or other stigma, on the character of his
!loyal I lighnees ; he believed also, that thi public
were prepared to adopt the decision of that House,
if they to-ought it to a clear cud distinct point
•f view.
Mr. lltretatsox said a few words, as well as we
could collect, in support of the Hon. Baronet's
Amendment ; but a loud call for the question
prevented us front heariug distinctly.
Mr. FULLER said, he would not trespass a mo.
mem on the time of the House, if he did not think
it his duty. It had been said that nothing hail
loom done to irdlarne the minds of the country ;
be denied it ; he knew they were inflamed, and lie
Pit it his duty to the House to tell them, while he
was able, that he had been used with severity ; he
bad received a numberof imonymous letters, calling
him 'a black-hearted fellow, and this thing, that
thing, and t'other thine. (Loud laughing.) He
spoke this to the Geutl'emen opposite. who excited
the populace to clamour—there was nothing worse ;
it was very bad. Once, when he spoke his senti-
ments upon this besinesa, he thought one of them
would have knocked him down. (Laughing.)
Those Ceistlerneii, whets they frond popular cla-
mour was against the Doke of York. then they
toi.lt part against him, awl began talking about
corruptiou. Every shabby fellow would talk about
corruption. (Laughing./ He would never give
his vote to criminate the Doke of York upon ens-
Orlon, which would snake lens rim away as if he
had a harpooti stuck in him. (Loud fewtid`tri)
They had talked abont a threut of dissolutiou.--
why. it was not the dissolution at the last slay ; if
there was a dissolutiou of Parliament, he 41 not
fear but his constituents would again elect him.
He thought the House ought to take notice
of the insults lie had received—if such insults
were thrown out to Members of Parliament, it
should be made a inisdemeauour ; and those who
did Not like &reined, &inn 'esis, ought to leave
it. (Lewd toughing/. The Hon Mi tuber said, lie
had to ispologiase for the last phrase be had used,
but it was a public toast, and was so fall in his
mind. he could not help using it.—/.Dore laugh-
ing).
Lord A. HAXILTOM supported the Amendment.
Lord Monism' said. that after the fullest inves-
tigation he could give the ',abject, lie was ineliiied
to acquit the Doke 9f York of the charge of per-
med corruption; but, at the seine time, be would
Not go the length of acquiViug him of connivance.

The principal witness at the Bar he allo'weil con.
trinity:fed herself in many parts of her evidence,
but in other+ she had told the truth ; however, he
had such objection to the Hon. Baronet's Amend-
ment, lie would give it his decided inct,Tative.
A :Member, whose name we could out learn,
said, he sincerely luniented that any represent-
atinsis should have gone abroad, especially that
which represented the act:moat' not as directed
against th . Commander-in-Chief only, but Its
being u branch of a . conspiracy existing against
the reigning l'ainily. Ile would say, that, so far
from being liable to such an imputation, the Hon.
Gentleman who had brought forward the charge,
was entitled to the thanks and gratitude of the
country. After the letters of Geneial Claveriteg,
after the note of Capt. Samba), there could be no
doubt but that Mrs. Clarke hail interfered to null-
tory vrontotions, and he thought it *wild not have
escaped his Royal Highness's obierratiots, that the
application* made were for parsons not conitected
with herself; from which the conclusion was east..
that she did not exert her influence :.ratuitously.
It had been said, that his Royal Ilighoraas was ius
different um' careless in pecuninry matter% But
he 'raked, whether, when they looked to the allow-
ance to Mrs. Clarke, they (void entertain such an
opinion of him ? When he considered the eases of
Rennet, Dueler, &v. he could not put his halal
upon his heart, and say, that the Duke of York
was not guilty eititcr or knowledge or cminiv mice.
Mr. BANKICO assured the !loose, that he would
not trespass long upon its anemia' ; he should
have abstained from taking any part in the debate,
after having observed the disinclination of the
House to attend, if it had not been for the aincad-
inant !imposed by the I 1011. Barraiet, in which lie
could sant concur; that amendment proposing a
direct negative to the motiott of the Right Ilan.
Gentleman, who had left them in a situation iii
which it was difficult to know how to vote for it.--
(.4 laegh.)—ln his opinion, the better tonne
would he first to negative the Bo.solution directly,
and afterward. to submit one more consonant with
the optimal's thud were knows, to prevail. The
worthy &ironer had put the a folio. in a disagreeable
situation, for if they rejected the Amendment, they
would then he under a necessity of voting for the
original motion. limeltidge implied corriaptioti
and connivance. The worthy Baronet had de-
clared that the business could not be carried far-
ther, that there were no grounds for a criminal
judicial inquiry; but according.to his (Mr. Booker's)
idea, there might be ground for some farther pro-
reeding of the Honer. A main objection which he
hail to the proposition of the worthy Baronet was,
that it was ambiguous Huth inconclusive ; it was a
complex proposition ; in one part of which lie
agreed, while he differed from the other. He was
ready to acquit his Royal Higliiiess ,if corruption.
but of connivance tie could not acquit hits ; lie did
intend to have proposed a resolution, describing
that sort of connivance with which lie charged huts
of liting guilty. Any man he thought could see a
distinction between participation and count-
vance. It had been said, that any sort of
connivance was equally guilty in degree with
personal corruption ; but there were danger-
owl eouserviences to society, front essafrosortiog
the gradations of vice. He did not think it a
light thing to be visited with the censuer of that
House; but he thought thy could all do well to
consider, whether, Ay adapting large and compre-
hensive words, the, were not supping the founda-
tion upon which they stood. With respect to the
reprobat a of the immoraiity of his Royal High-
nent's conduct, Ile was not inclitted to enter into
uny censure of it, unless when it was combined
with political' usirelitef to the state. Ile did not
think that they should take upon then, the duty of
cen.ors, unless under atieli cireunistnuces. He
concluded with declaring that he should vote
against the amendment of the worthy Baronet.
Sir THOMAS TlATnlii said, that us tint one word
had been urged Lig:6.lst the motion which he pro-
posed, and as the reasons advaaced in abjection
were chiefly against the complex proposition of the
Right lion. Gentleman opposite, he thought hlm-
selnustilied its persevering in his Anu:nittaent.
Mr. 1411111IIART was proceeding to speak, when
1 load cries of ~qaestioa! question!" d'u!tged him
to sit down.

Lord HENRY PETTY then rose, and said, that
the palpable indisposition of the House to perform
its duty, obliged hen to propose the question of
adjouroment.
The SrEmcee baring put the question,
CHANCE Econ. of the EXCHEQUER said, that
he hoped the House would not concur in the
motion proposed by the Noble Lord ; fatigue
might have induced them to adopt a conduct cer-
tainly not becoming, and might iii some degree ex-
cuse it. (No' no!) He entreated most earnestly
the they would not give the country reason to
suppose, that they had relaxed at the close of the
proceeding, cod were willing to terminate in con-
fusion, whet they had begun with zeal; the ques-
tion before them was then drawing near a close.—
The important inquiry in which they had been so
long and so laboriously employed wus then coining
to 111 conclusion, and if the Horse persisted lia the
inclination to interrupt discussion, they would not
he likely to come out of the business with the
credit they should emulate. He war sure Ow
the Noble Lord would withdraw his motion, if he
observed in the House a disposition to permit the
debate, which disposition he was persuaded would
evince itself when they reflected more maturely.—
The Noble Lord, he was persuades!, would not
pot them to the necessity of negativing his motion ;
he thesefore would suggest that it snookd be with-
drawn.

Lord HIMIT PATTY declared, that the Right
lion. Gentleman had rightly judged, when he be-
lieved that he (Lord H. P.) would be willing to
withdraw his motion in case the. House should be
willing to hear the sentiments of its members.—
His motive in proposing it was, to prevent the bawl
consequences of disorder at MI6 4 time, and when
that disorder haul subsided, the measure intended to
prevent it should be dropt by bun he would,
therefore, with the leave of the House, withdraw his
motion, that the &bine might proceed.
The motion was accordingly withdrawn.
Mr. litausaeosid, that it slummed to he the
Chancellor of the Erichequer's ides, sod the mean-
Mu...deducible from his resolution, that the Duke
of York should be continued in office, though the

House sliniald noolee that he was not guilty of the
charges. Thon;h they should acquit him of cor-
ruption or of connivance, still they would not be
jestiiied in COIIIIII4 to 21 vote for his continuance in
office, after the evidence they bad beard. Ile hoped
the Hon. Baronet would withdraw his amendment,
that they might have an opi (((( :unity of putting a
' direct negative oil the reteolution of the Chancel-
lor of the Eacheipter.
Mr. EL1.14011 expressed his dissent from those
Gentlemen who held that, because the witue•-ees
upon that occasion were ion exanansed mom oath,
be decision should be formed upon their testi-
mony. The impression upon his mind, with re-
spect to the guilt or iiiiimeuce of the tiuke or
York, was, that lie had not beets proved soulty of
corruption ; but at the same time he felt himself
obliged to state, that the accusation of counivance
-was not overthrown-4i his opinion it was moved ;
he reefed his judgment on that head, upon the
testimony of Lawyere, many of whom had spoken
upsets both sides of the question ; they all seemed to
agree thin the evidence of an accomplice should be
admitted ; and when it was corroborated 50 strong-.
ly as in that instance, lie thought it should be acted
on. , If they were not willing to act upon such evi-
dence, to what purpose had they employed their
six weeks? ln had been said that his Royal High-
nen wits a peat man, in a high mid emmttrut snots-
; but it was utter, the case that great names
dui great wrong; and he would I make iln objection
to say enure. which he thought would have the
011ie( of making princes behave as joiners ought to
believe. Looking at the whole of the evidence
together, he thought that his Royal Highness was
not guilty of corruption, acid lie thought the case
of coithisance was proved, but should vote accord-
ingly.
Sir C. RIOURELT. said, that the proposition of the
Right lion. the Chancellor of the Exchequer ap-
peared to him to throw an imputation upon the
areaser in that case. It stated, that there were no
grounds fur the accusation. He believed in his
conscience, mid he thought del House would join
him in the opinion, that there were grounds for the
charge, and that the Him. Gentleman who brought
it forward was entitled to the gratitude of the
House and tile country : at the same time he should
say, that he would not vote for the atoeudinent
propose, by the Hon. Baronet.
Mr. PEIC6eAf. said, that he had been cautions
to guard his movie), so as that it should net appear
to castney imputatiou upon the lion. Geutlemau
who had brought forward the chargea; his mot.
did not state that the-re were no grunods ref him to
have instituted the inquiry ; it only stated, that
there were no grounds for the Weise to come to a
decision against the. Duke of Yorli, no groutiels
to criminate or condemn him. He was confident
thot *heti he looked into his moduli, it would not
:weir liable to the objection which the Hon. Gen-
tleman Fwd limelight against it.
Mr. SUaIIIVII said, that if the motion had beets
divider; into two distinct parts, he would have felt
great satisfaction in voting with the Chaucelior of
rise Eschetiner to acquit the Duke of York of cor-
rupt practices. He thought that Mrs. Choke had
contradicted lienielf in sortie nisi:wee% at the seine
lease that *be had spoken some material truths; Ise
could not persuade himself that the Hutto of York
use not guilty of connivance ; he did nit attach that
sordid mi einiug to the word, if Its participating in
the motley prodeced from the traffic, but only
meant that he was willing to confer favours when
his duty should have forbidden.
Mr. Witer.estunca said, that the Haase should
not adopt any measure or proceeding which would
have a tendency to give the world a false minim of
their opinion. The -Amendment proposed did not
gn to negative the Resolution of Ins Ifionourisb!e
Frieed, hut went as tar as that }tit/W(1011i the
contrary way.
Lord Hem liT Peeve said, that lie, in common
with many other Members, felt himself in is very
dishtowel; situation loam that occasion. Hz was
desirous that their proceedings should have ended
in the complete acquittal of the Duke if York ;
because, whaterer.ditlerences they might have iii
ether respects, yet, in sentiments of respect and
gratitudeno the Family upon die throne, they had
but one opinion. it was therefore with anxiety
and regret that he had bend the proposition of the
Right Honourable Gentttinan,' which compelled
tun to give a shrect negative to the assertion of the
Duke of York's innocence. He thought it impos-
sible that the House should enter into any judicial
proceeding on the sobject, and therefore it was with
considerable sorrow that he had beard expressions
fall from Gentlemen, learned in this Law ; Gen-
tlemen who should inform, not perplex ; who
ahoald enlighten, not confuse; favourable to a
judicial course ; lie differed from that opinion ;
if he was in error, it was no error entertained
in common with the Constitution ; which, by
ne-
glecting to make the sante prnvisious adopted
ter Courts of justice, seemed to deny the juridical
capacity to the House of Commons. lie had ems
deavoured to bring all the coolness and considera-
tion of a Judge or is Juryman into the House ;
hut having done so, he thought himself obliged to
apply it as a Member of Parliament ; they del not
sit for the piirpose of punishing individuals ; but to,
save, defend, and protect the public from abuses ;
it was upon that ground that lie gave his nega-
tive to the proposition of the Right Honourable
Gentleman. On looking to the evidence, he
saw no, ground for concluding that the Duke of
York was guilty of corruption. Ile admitted, that,
as an Him. Friend of his had said, the evidence
was of a loose nature; but then, loose as it was, it ad-
mitted awl enabled them to form an opinion, espe-
cially as• it was supported by documents; and iii
footling his opinion upon that question, he never
would forget, that in every instance in which, the
• evidence could be supported by documents, and
when the documents were found, they did support
it. He thought that in various parts of the able
defence which the Hon. Gent. opposite haul made
for his Royal Highness, there were contradictions.
The parts, when taken separately, and examined,
appeared to rant that perfect agreement which-
was necessary to a defence; nor could any thing
but the talent and ingenuity of the lieu. Gentle-
man prevent the contradiction, from detection.
For instance, when lie had contended that the letter
of Tonyn was ant material one way i.e another, yet
afterwards he declared that Ow. were able wan&
raters who produced it; thus indirectly ackuowlsdr

H. Petty; was proceediug tigainst u man for life
or property, he would he cautious how he admitted
suspicion; but the present case was one in which
suspicion might nod ought to act, it furnished a
strong ground for removal. If his Royal high ties<
had refleeted at all, which he was inclined to be-
lieve he did uot, he coukl not have supposed ht r
applications in favour of Dr. O'Meara and othee,
were the result of affection. He indeed agreed with
his Lion. Friend, that blindeess and unwillingness:
to he convinced. were the churueteristic of men in
high situations. He had thought, fmm what had
fullers from the Right Hon. Gent. opposite, ;bet the
only objection to the measure proposed from his side
of the /louse, was, that it had not been sufficiently
distinct ; cud after the transactions of the last
night, he felt it imposaibte to give a vote for Any
elation that carried an etrirocal meaning ; he
thnsight, nay, lie was rouvineed, that the House
would do-justice to itself. that itweuld :wen its ered it
and its honour; Lid that was principally to be
affected by fleeting fairly with the public. He
thought that if the resolution of the Right Hen
Pourable Gentleman was to be carried. it might
preclude the House (rein coming to any sub-
'serpent resolution. if the Right Honourable
Gentleman thought that his Royal Iligle.eve
was not guilty, the measure that he proposed was
one of the most unjust preceeditigs towards his
Royal Highness that could possibly be adopted.—
After having acquitted bum of the charge of cor-
rupt infiuenee,it went oti to brand him with *crape
which, if not conne.led with public inconvenience.
ought not to have beet' noticed. He hoped the
House would not consider him as undervaluing
that most sacred tie, but there were other tribu-
nals before which such crimes were to be judged ;
it was lea for limpets judicature to pranumiceupou
them. Ile thought it u most extraordinary pro-
ceeding fur the Right Ilanourable Gentleman
to hay, R 4 his motion sued 111 effect, that bi-
cause his Royal klighsiess had escaped from a
consptracy, he should be brauded for being an
adulterer. He agreed that the mention of that
crime in the Amendment was right, because it
was then connected with public inconveuicoce. Alm
With respect to his Reps! Highness, he was
sorry to say. that though be acquitted him of ewe
metiers, and though the charge of connivance wee
not established upon suffiaent ground, yet Ise
could nut agree time a 11.4414 apse no wound at
all. Fier these reason, he would steraite the me-
rims of the ga I t lion. Gentleman. and also that
of this Hon, Barnnet. There were considerations
ache utmost moment involved in their decision--
The eyes of the country were turned upon them,
and it hiteume them to be cautious of their own
character, and the interests of the country at large.
The Sutictrort-Grsettat fur ScOrI.AND ruse
amidst loud cries of gnertios and contended,
that no distinction meld possibly be (liven, so as
to except consiivence from the charge of crimi-
nality. In that point of view, there met no differ-
ence between the charge of corruption and that of
connivance. Connivance at thole transactions w hich
were staid to bare taken plate!, 'retold directly charge
the Duke of York with criminality, amid draw after
it the natural inference of participation. (In these
grounds he defended the consistency of coring for
use Resolution proposed by the Chancellor of the
exchequer.
Mr. C. Duanes shortly observed he thought
there was not sufficient evidence to coniince his
mind in acceding to the charge of corruption
against the Commander-in-Chief.
The CMANCIILLOR of the EZCITEQUUR insisted
no change had taken place is Isis spied. from the
commencement of this discussion, when he pro-
p!ssed but Amendment to the original Address..--
He conceived there was no obstacle in the tk to
prevent the Noble Lord (11. Petty) from giving
his vote in favour of the Resolution, which' he had,
this day, proposed to the consideration of the
Housee That Noble Lord had hesitated, because
the lines %%hick marked the boundaries between
sufficient ground, and no ground at all to bring
home the charge of corruption against his Royal
Highness the De k eof York, had considerable weight
on hie determination. Hot it ought to be recollected
wherever the question arises upon the prosecutirn,
of a charge, it would be nu indispensable duty, in-
'eumbetit upon those who ought to decide on its
imlidity, to take care thet ucient evidence should
be adduced before they telly credited the 'cease-
tion. On this question it wars strange conduct to
quarrel with the words in which the Resolution
was couched ; the Neble Lord had avowed his nut-
willingness to vote in its favour, becense it wee
impressed there was no ground for the charge ;
' whereas, if a nicer distinction had Isere drawn, teat
it bait cositained words more fully 16'041111g there
was not sufficient ground to tailspin t the accusation
of corruption or connivance, he should not hese
been reluctant in giving it his assent. If a proper
use were 'mule or the uuclerstaudiug, no teasels
could he assigned for refusing to give a vote its fa-
vour of the Resolution. Saying there was no
ground fur supporting the charge, could specs
nothing wore, than that there wet not mill*
'tient ground to believe the ticcuustion could he

verdict was given, and every acquittal was

'Fhese regions were strong enough to persuade
him the Noble Lard was labouring under

phecy and consistency for the proposed Reso-

took upon themselves to vote a piece plate or a
sworst to a 'eieilerial whose, eoaduce was edited
in question. Such a' proved ere was danger-
ous, as it tended to destroy that butrordinanun
which was due to the Government. But when
we C:1111e to the present Maumee, where Ge-
neral Officers were sitting in judgment whether
the Duke of York should continue at Alin head of
the army, it was suf)ieient to e.,:cite very great
alarm. Before he sat down, he could not pass
over in silence the conduct of the Right Hon. Gen-
tleinao o;mosite, (Mr. Canoing), who had in his
oratory triumphed over every feeling of the human
mind. To his Noble Friend (Loral FM/esti/11cl it
was highly indecorous—a Secretary of State to
George 111. ought not to have raked up the ashes
of the reign of George 11. for the purpose of pow-
, derinehis illiberal eloquence, while he endeavour-
ed to stigmatise and calumniate his Noble Friend's
rank and station its the country. On the greet
question before the House lie had farther to
remark, the Member for Cambridgeshire had
allowt-d that the 0t,,,i0t: of the people was against
the Duke of York, and it was only justice to their
character, to say that the people of linglaial acre tits
rubble ; they were judges of fact, and, as jurymen,
Keret:apatite of deciding for themselves, in respect
to the charges adduced against the Commander-w-
-ell:cf. By voting against his Royal Highness.
they were not going to preclude lion from re-
for merino, nor was it any necessary result that
a Bill of exclusion should be enacted by the le-
gislature ; for if in the couise of thing. hi. Royal
Highness should sit on the throne of his aneestors,
reformation would prevent his disqualification ; and
the pent'', qt. England would always be generous
enough to venerate his virtues when a King, and to
forget his former misconduct when Dake of York.
The lion. Slember concluded a very able and ion-
pr,ssirc speech, to which, at this late hour of the
di,ciissiosi, we are not enabled to do justice.
Sir J. PU LI'EN EY said, there was a military dub
formed of General Officers, of winch lie hail the
honour to be an unwmthy member. They met on
t:ii•ir usnal day ; some member prersed, that io
tine present singular case they might address
his Royal fliOniess, returning Sun thanks for the
civility and kindlier% they had received from him.
'Vivre were uvo distinct propositions made :--That
no notice slit-mill he taken of the proceedings then
pentlitig in that House ; and that the Address
should not be presented Until that House had
come to a decision.

• Sir T. TuoToo suited, he only %idled that some-
thing might be put on the minutes of the I louse,
declaring the prtvity of the Commander-its-Chief
to the corrupt practices of Mrs. Clarke.
N;r. Goocn declared, upon his honour and cOo-
seience, he could not sec a tittle of evidence that

with what delicacy Or propriety we will not say,
alluded. But, we itirigine, after the retort made
by Lord FOLKSTON E, and the notice of Mr. WHIT..
BREAD, last night, the Ri;iit Hon. Secretary will
out be disposed to repeat the'experitsent, or call the
attention of the public to his own family honours.
The Duke of Yoiti's case is at length ette-
eidect. The House of tilosuinons, i•A night, di-
vided upon Plow EVA es Re-101116+m acquit-
titir his Royal lli&loos of all personal corrsp-
lion, or conuivance at corruption. The Ayes
were 278, Noes 196. Majority to favour of the
Duke, V. His Royal Highness is thus acquitted
by a majority of 82, in a case where all the in-
flueoi.le of Miuisters has been exerted to the utmost
in his support.—We stated, yesterday, the pie-
that the majority in his favour would be
160 small, as to render it impossible for his Royal
Highness ti remain in office, consistent with any
regard for delicacy Or prep! tety. Mr. B. BATHURST
appears to be of this opinion, as lie has given uoticv
of a motion, on Monday next, for the removal of
his Royal Highness from the Head of the Army.
—This subject is of the highest importance, and
affords as ample field for observation. M'e bare.

one alarmist; eirenin.tance that transpired in the
course of last night. It appears to have been
admitted; that nu association of Military Officers
Las been formed, for the purpose of supporting
his Royal ili4littess. A devices f this kind might
be excusable in the case of Sir ARTHUR WE 1..
LESLIY, but iu the present case it is must inde-
corous, dangerous, unit unconstitutional.

A Mail from tiotteutiurgh arrived yesterday.
A treaty of commerce between &leand and

were previously in possession of intelligence from

he thought they were nut in danger of meeting
them.
It is said that I)utelt Papers, to the lids instant,
hare retailed town, which contain a revolt of the
entrance of the French into Seville.
Private accounts from Holland state, that the
crews of two Danish ships of the line, lying at
Flushing. had refu.ed to obey the o:Acis of the
French Government. They were ordered to sail
for Brest, but the Captains declined compliance till
they received instructions from their Government;
upon which they were arrested. Their yews having
