The House was then resumed, and the Report
ordered to he received to-morrow.
Lord OSSU Ls•riN appeared at the Bar, and
acquainted the House, that Hit Majesty had been
waited upon with the Address of that House, re-
questing certain Accounts of sums, granted from
the Civil List, and he had His Majesty's cemmends

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
On the Order of the Day being read for the third'
reading of tee Cape of Good Hope Bill,
Mr. VV HI [SHED KEENE made some obser-
vations, but in so low a tune, he WAS not heard in
the gallery.
Lord GA RUES said, he was so little acquainted
with the forms w the House, that he did not know
whether his pres:nt interferetice was properly timed.
As the Bill, however, related to the Cape of Good
Hope, he could not help expressing his surprises
that amidst the thanks which had been voted for
brilliant atchievements, and villories obtained by
our arms, no notice whatever had yet been taken of
that gailent aftioo which had so lately put us in pos-
session of so valuable a settlement. tie could not
suppose it was intended to be passed over without
notice, and wished to know for what reason it had
been hitherto &laved.
Lord HENRY PET TY said, His Majesty's Mi-
nister, to whose department that settlement properly
belonged, was not now present; but he believed
lie could undertake to else that the reason no par-
ticular notice had as yet been taken of that import-
ant transaetion was, that it could not, with pro-
priety, be done, tall the conquest was known to be
complete.
Lord CASTLEREAGH, in answer to what had
fallen from the Noble Lord, said, that when our
army first landed in Egypt, and gained a vi Cory
over the enemy, the thanks of that House were
voted to them, though, at the time, the conquest
was by no means complete ; and that he thought
was a precedent which would tully jaeity Ministers
in now bringing forward a vote of thanks to those
brave officers an i men who had taken the Cape.
Lord HENRY PETTY replied, that the affair of
Egypt, was, at that time, considered as complete,
but this was not.
General TARLETON said, the House knew
well, and so did the country, that our army had
landed, and geined a decisive vielory, by which they
bad obtained possession of one of the most valuable
settlemerts in the world; and the brave officers and
men who had achieved this, were entitled to thanks
for what they had already dace. Supposing even
that a-y of the enemy's squadrons, which had
blipped away. in spite of the vigilance of our fleet,
should be destined thither, and by lauding a supe-
rior force, should be able to retake it, that could not
wither the laurels our brave count, ymen had al-
ready gained, nor deprive them of the praises they
deserved. Bethought, therefore, Ministers might,
with great propriety, come forward, for a Vote of
Thanks.

charge th- Order, for the Committee on the Wit-
messes' Rill, which stood for to-morrow, for the
purpose of deterring it to a more distant day. He

two or three Gentlanen, now absent, who wished

Lord HENNIKER observed, that the day fixed
was that on which all the Quarter Se-sirens would be

lay ; but, as far as he could sew, there could not, he
thought, be any objedion tn
