try ! The Noble Viscount (Melville) had in his
thought proper to c;:e the conduit of those
On had preceded him in his high office, and
ei vindicate himself by following the steps he had
Tao wid. He had menii .ned Earl S tudwirh, Earl
Earl Chatham, Earl Spencer, and, last of all,
Fart St. Vincent. Immediately afterwards, the
Noble Viscount decries the blockading sys-em which
Iva of those had approved ; and then proceeds to
dilcribe the advantaites which the French have over
so, by laying snug
us their harbours, without sub-
itaing theirs-Ives to the weighty eipenees of wear
and tea. He should, however, be glad to know,
whether the Noble Viscount bed not also given
them the advantle rd. wear and tear in the West
when, on the arrival of their squadron we
one ship of the line ? But this WAS a fresh
bad only
old man peculiar ()Ned or triumph to the Noble
Viscount t for, he says, we have Setts every where,
and the rest wish and exultation of the people of
cnuerry ou'ht always to be. that we French
‘:culd come out in order to be beaten. Thus the
`„!sic Viscount, after attackiug the administration
of his gallant prelecescor, had proceeded to praise
lacown; but, for his own part, his Lordship said
be could not perceive, from our situation at the
recen, moment, that we were, either at home or in
the West Judie% in anystate which could rationally
',ire cause of c.xultation to the Noble Viscount.
Lord HAWKILiBURY considered this ques-
li,,r, whether the Papers should be riferred to a se-
le as a matter of great delicacy. God
sal that if they were necessary, he should
sat Jo his duty, and grant them; but he perfeelly
acre-d in all the arguments so ably urged by his
N.:ble Friend near him (Viscount Sidrnouth); and he
was sure the House would pause hefore they grant-
ed Papers on so very delicate and important a =h-
iA, without any case of necessity ha been made
Cr. Ile should th-ref oppose the Motion.
The Earl of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE defended
the Noble Viscount's to du& with regard to the
mods of building ships, and contended that it would
have been a nusapplicacion of our naval force to
have sent any part of it to the West Indies, at a
time when the enemy had no naval force in that

quarter.
Tile Earl of SUFFOLK took a view of the
whole question, and having advet ted to the several
Outs, which he contended were stronglyinsuppost
oa committer, observed. it 1141 been insinuated.
4:IITeiOUS rep r.s had abtoad, that the Noble
14.414111 had very panic.. .a •• Ovate reasons for not
ordering a force to the .Jest .:ws„ at the time of
the tailing of the Italifort stliat.lroa. He mould
eat salt diem was any ft:4lll4.cm tor those rumoursa
but be swished for same • al...nation on the sot/ea.
Ile was of opinion a stied .r.-i .:::e should Iw
pointed, not only for the satistact nt of the Noble
Earl, whale condo& was to be the saii.a of investi-
gation, ar.J of their Lordships, but fur use satisfac-
tion of the public at Large.
Lord t isco.ait ‘IELVILLE, in eat:a:maim. ex-
pressed ;treat *uprise at what had fallen tro:n ti e
Noble Earl; the insinuations which were thrown
out were art traded; and he knew of no reasons
'caterer, pliViltt. pulaiic, or particular, which
catild induce bins to withhold the neces.ary
upon the occasion alluded to. On th. contrary.
lac 1 a.l some time susocaed the destination of the
Ro:hfort squadron; an.' when lie had learned that
live sail .if the line had left that portforthe West-In-
dies,he found it was the precise case sit his former in-
struSirns, which he then repeated. 'rliat squ ad ron had
been six weeks in the West lushes bettor any force
could be sent against them ; he had him•elf re-
ceived intelligence at the Admiralty their sail-
ing on the fourteenth day after that event took place,
a. id on the following day he forwarded his instruc-
rato accordingly. When the Noble Earl made use
of the assertion, he should have stated faits a
little more, or insinuateu a little less. Th.• former
be was ready to meet, but against the latter no man
could defend himself. The Noble Earl should have
proceeded on a broad and fair principle, instead of
shunting his poisoned arrows against him by such
-sintiations.

The Earl of SUFFOLK, in reply. said, he had
!toed those reports from hirn,eli, but he had
beard tkm, and believed they were tals.e.
The Earl of DA4NLI.Y, is reply, said, he
'id abstain from sayirg any ti.ing personal to
ly Noble Lord. He consi ivwd the system adopt.
' and followed in the King's Dock Yards to be
estravaganr, And in every rcspeCt improper.
• Lordship then took a general review of the
aestion, and frequently referrst to the Report be-
. the House. He thought that the Noble Earl's
It. Vincent) condu& upon the whole, was Inefno•
sus, instead of criminal. if his conclua had been
alto benefit his country, then Ile descrved the
ns of the public ; but if the Noble Lords, who
'lied themselves the friends of that Noble Earl,
iuld not allow him an opportunity of vindicating
is co-due, the question must still remain in doubt.
I'he charaCter of the Noble Earl was called in ques-
ion, while aciling as the head of the Admit...l4, ; and
Iva% but justice to that House, but kistice to Coe
She, but justice to himself, and but justice to the
