which the House had already expressed, after bar-
ber gone so minutely into details of the evidence
ins every point of view. The House had now come
to two Resoliatious, vindicating his Royal High-
ness; and it was now understood he was no
longer Conamander-ie-Chief; and he could not
help being sorry for that circumstance ;—but
what would the people of this country have
more? He could nut help thinking, that as the
Duke of York was above Ministerial influence,
it wee smatter of serious consideration with the
;whiles that such an individual should be at the
teed of the.:irrny. Ministers might be changed,
bat a person of the Duke of York's rank and con-
t,-.:pireice in society would still remain in his situa-
tion as C.IIIII/ Ander-in-Chief: If another indisi-
dintl possess that high and iinportint situation,
lie writ be necessarily subject to the influence of
Ministers, change when they change, and re-
t re from otfice when they retire; so that
the po.ver of Ministers would have u double
operation in regard to influence. la the present
nistance, it appeared to him that the private con-
nexion that Anixit•ted between the Royal Duke.
and Mrs. Clarke had had no operation injurious
to the public welfare, and no effect upon the army.
Thee: was indeed a'wrong and reprehensible ifitlii-
enee subsisting between her and the Duke, but
ha• could hot see that influence touched upon
the intersaftwrprnint:tion of any officer whatever ;
fur tafterest.r officers had a proper right and
cluim „to be ailrauced, according to the lesnetie, al
rube estibiislied iii the army, they had an oppor-
tunity afforded them. All those that were ap-
pointed or promoted were only such as were deem-
ed worthy of being eo, uad therefore Parliament
hid no occasion to interfere with the Prerogative
of the Crown. Neither of the Resolutions were
necessary; but in his opiuion a third out might be
passed, expreisise of how far promotions in the
army had been effected by private influence; a
Ref 'harlot' deelteing, that althone'it private in-
t levee appeared to have existed, yet that his
Vocal Higher.. had never promoted officers, other-
wise than by his living satisfied those officers
deserved it, according to the rules and regulations
established in the army. If there should be a third
resolution proposed to that effect, he should sup-
poit it.

this snbject, after what has pulsed in the tedious

reasons for their former votes, that that is the
most inoffensive thing they could do. In stating
daft preposition, I should certainly prefer the
amendment to the motion, udder a distinct
explanation, that as apparently trifling altera-
tion should sake place upon that umendinent
before its passing, for if not, it too was objectionable.
Tlhe Right How Mover did not 'advert. that his

stated, that he conceives it exceedingly objection-
drat a ;person of the rook of his Royal
mess should hold a high and 'responsible situation
in the state, as thcrr la a peculiar degree of deli-
cacy and difficulty in malting any motion to impli-
e,ate that responobility. Now, Sir, it ever there
was a period when that opinions had uo founda-
tion. it is the prevent one, when we have been for
many weeks engaged upon this isiveatigation
into the conduct of his Royal Highness the -Duke
of Yyrk, and not the smallest obstacle thrown
in the way, nor any difficulty originated.—
With the view, therefore, in which I have
entered upon this subject, I cannot crewels,'
that tile House, at a time when they have ne-
gatived both corruption, and cOhnivatice at con

forfeiture of the situation his Royal Highness held,

been negatived, and what may he afterwards made

of persisting in those words which he had adopted
ie his Amendment. I cannot agree to it while it
contains the word in the sense in which he
has explaitied the, word. The Amendment might
have remained as it wet, if the Noble Lord had not
heeself given an •explanetion of it; and I think

Cu!. HUTCHINSON, while he could not entirely
agiee with the motion of the Right Hun. Geld.
yet was much disposed to concur in several of
the sentiments stated in the speech with %%Inch !:e
premised it. The House had certainly a dots o,
discharge, not towards has Royal Ilizlniess, •but
towards the public. Something yet reinailied to
he done, as the resiguation of the Duke of York
did by no means satisfy the public feeling upon the
occasion. He ass particularly anxious that it
should not go forth, that all the feelings of the
House of Commons had ceased, nail that they
were nuwilline to discharge manfully- their duty.
He certainly lamented, that Its Majesty's Minis-
ters had allowed the flonial to consider this sub-
ject us they had done, instead of allowing it to go
un in the manner proposed hi the original sawsw of
these charge,. Mini] mischief had beea done by
the course adopted. AVe understood the HIM.
COloliel to conclude with agreeing with the Amend-
ment.
Mr. MANNING considered it a duty incumbent
unon him, to agree with the proposition of tile
Right Honourable i;endemaii.
Sir Cu times Pasco thought, that although the
Duke of York was not guilty of any corruption or
connivance at corruption, yet there was sufficient
evidence to think lies Royal 11:ghnesa was highly
censurable in hos coilduct, and therefore it was that
he did most cordially agree with the proposition uow
made. It was a circumstance disgtaceful to the
character of his Royal Highness, that it had called
upon the House to express themselves in such a ge-
neral manner as to prevent similar transactions in
future.
Lord Fottssotte--. l do conceive it absolutely
necessary that the House do something more than
the Right Hon. Gmt. opposite expresses ; after
the coininuineetimi lw has wade, it is proper that,
we should support our own dignity. If he had pro.
duced a letter from His Majesty, or froiu the
Royal Duke himself, stating his resignation,
that might have been entered upon our Jour.:
nada, to be banded down to future ages, as a
reason for stooping our proceedings; then 1 think
there might have been grounds for expressing a
wish that nothing further should he dove; but,
Sir, instead of tiiis, there is a coirononicatiou pro-
duced and alluded to, which is only of a private
nature, which cannot he so entered, and then it
is evident something further must be done, in
order to express our sentiments. I do agree in
the Amendment proposed, andalsoiwregard to the
pmpriety of introducing the word owe, which that
Right Honourable Gentleman complains of; and
I approve of it, for this reason, that after con-
ceiving, as I do, that corruption did exist in the
conduct of his Royal Highness, I think it is very
unfit that lie should ever return to his former xi-
tniatioli. Although I approve of that word remain-
ing introduced fur the reason I have thus assigned,
yet I believe there are others who will agree to it
for other reasons; us such a degree of indiscretion
might exist, as to render it perfectly tinWt that he
should return to that situation. The loss of the
confidence of the cnuutry is a 'sufficient reason
for preventing his ttoyal highness returning into
office. Afte: the many speeches that had been
made iii the House upon this subject, he should
leave to any one, whether they could say that daily
such case hiss been proved against any other per-
son than his Royal Highness, not so equated, he
would not have been dismissed long age' 'lbis
sheays the great impartiulity and caution of our
proceeding-, und I hope the Right Hon. Gentleman
will agree to what is now suggested as the must
proper conclusion of this business, iniless lie obi l-
ate the difficulty, by proposing some other Amend-
ment, that will have a sinsilar effect with that sug-
gested by my Noble Friend.
Mr. HERCERT said, he intended to have given a
silent vote upon this occasion, hilt after what he
had heard State.% ha felt it necessary to make a few
observations. We hail already seee that in all the
inonarehies and state, of Europe, promotions in the
army hail generally taken place by means of the
unstressed of Princes; and therefore nothing had
taken place in the present instance that could be
deemed extraoril:nary nor unexpected. He did
sincerely wish that this matter might be allowed to
rest, but if oily thing more most be dime, he con-
fessed he would rattier vote for the -Amendment
than for the Motion, with the exception of the
word " now."

Mr. Joe's Swig also expressed his concurrence
with the /intendment, with the exception of the
word objected to.
Earl Tetert.e--4. I did not niean to have troubled
the Roust, Sir, with any sentiments of mine upon
this subject, had it not been owing to the caner-
rations that have fatten from the Right Hun. the
Chancellor of the Exchequer. A report had cer-
tainly prevailed very much abroad, that the Duke
of York had resigned. in consequence thereof I
had made up my mind that it was not necessary
for the House to take up any further proceedings
upon this business, and I was prepared to acquiesce
in that opinion, ems after that Resignation was
confirmed to ine by the Right Honourable Gen-
tleman's statement; bat, upon more mature
consideration. I think, from the grounds that have
been laid down by him, .a4-thA words which
he stated in the letter written by the Duke of York
to His Majesty, it is imvossible for me to scull
stating, that I shall give my vote for the amend-
ment of nay Noble Friend. I cannot but lassent,
that a private letter of the Commander-in-Cilia
bas been made public in this iustance, and has
been made the ground for a plaVir Measure. I
should rather have wiAhird, that the Right Ho-
nourable Gentleman had elated the communica-
tion without glottal" the language of the Wske of

Mniticatien so made. fle" awed. thtd the itoyal
had resiverit at a tithe wheat the House bad
arrived at a detertnitiutieti, anal when his istieetswe
was declared. Sir, ft ng as I do.' that dpoil tole
point the Duke's iimocence was declared, namely,
us to the ch.irge of corruption, I must, ho sever,
enter my protest against the geileral asstrtion, that
upon a!1 points the Home has declared his Royal
Highness's innocence. (Hear ! 'hear ! het& !/
There still remains a strong point behind, on
which, if it had not been fur this letter and
communication, we annuli.' have this night come
to a vote. There is certainly proof of miseon••
duct in office, although not atununtiug to cor-
ruption, by his Royal •Iligliiiess al:using 'Mrs.
Clarke to interfere iu ofliciul duties, sod rticoi-
mending officers for promotions, to which recom-
mendations lie listened, and lent to her
attaining various sittiations.—Until big idniteeuce
be declared upon these points, 1 say it is too much
for the Chancellor of the Exchequer to come down
to the House mid justify his Royal Highness's re.
siginition, because the House has found him
immeent. (Hear! hear! hear!/ He Inn also
said, that it could not be supposed his Royal
Wellness had resigned from a dreasi of the conse-
quence of this discussion. Now, Sir, as a Member
of Parliliment, I must say, it would have been bet-
as: hail his Royal Highness expressed himself as
towing resigned; because he found it was coil-
sonant to the wishes and the ?pinions of the 'louse
and the Country that it should be so. It would
have been m =re consistent with the dignity and
authority of the House, bed the Right Hon. Geld.
ind hie colleegues advised the Royal Duke to say,
" I how to the opinions of the House and the
Country; for, although they have acquitted me of
Corruption, yet 1 find suspicious still remain in the
House, and throughout Inr country, and therefore
think it more decorous and respectful, to submit to
their understanding and feelings upon this oeca-
Dion." It is under these circumstances, perfectly
agreeing with the votes that acquitted his Royal
Highnes of corruption, participation in, or coroii-
trance at, corruption, that I caunot agree to
the proceedings of this House being put an earl,
to, upon the understanding that the House heA
decided upon all the point, under their moil
and investigation, and declared his innocence, for
he has evidently resigned, only from the dread.
of what might follow. I think that the opinion of 0
the Holm ought to be stated in a manly and decid-
ed nrieuner, and if they. think that his Royal High-
ness was unfit to remain at the head of the army ;
it ought to state it without reseme ; for it
•ught not to have been left to His Majesty
to intimate his opinion upon the nut jest, Mewed
of waiting to see what the House would have
stated for him. I agree therefore to the Noble
Lord's Ainetalment instead oftheßesolutiou of the
Right Hon. Gentleman, sod • I du not see that
,there is any objection to the word sow being intro-
daced, fur it merely goes to state that the Doke
having, resigned; we do not think it uow necessary
to proceed may further in this investigation. If hy_,
• the word pow were meant that the Keiiiltilion
should go the length of esclieion, it would has
guise notch further, and it is, therefore, iu my
optolon inkolojectionable."
Mr. DAVICI GIDDY could not approve of the
opinion, that, because the House had acquitted
his Royal Highness of con uptiou. it had eleue
enough; for he was oee that always thought
the House ought to inquire more particularly into
all the existing abuses, with a view of •:-t- primend-
iug that officer,. anal expreining a decided opinion
upon his conduet. Ile certainly bad formed a de-
cided opinion that nu grounds existed for charging
his Royal Highness with corryption ; but still there
were minor subjects which were to be considered,
and he thought the general impression was, that
the Duke laud acted iinoroperly, soil it was there-
fore necessary to exure,s that anitiment to the
public. The Right Honourable the Chancellor
of the Exchequer hail already expressed an opi-
nion, that• he wished his Royal Highness to
go from that House without ell ambiguity ex-
isting as to his conduct ; if then the ambiguity
as to the major charge, namely, that of corruption,
was done away with, was it not equally necessary
that no ambiguity should exist, as to the mu-
aorone, namely, that of suspicion and miscon-
duct? It therefere appeared to him, that there
'could be no better mode of cleariug the whole
mutter from ambiguity, than by their expres-
sing an opinion of how far blame attached
to him. lie could not see that the Amendment
was more severe in expressing those feehngs than
the motion itself, and indeed no expressions more
gentle and delicate could be used fur that purpose,
even the word u now" admitted.
Mr. HILEY ADDINGTON said, it seemed to be
iningined by the Right Honourable Gentleman
neposite, that this was a mode of bringing for-
ward, by • side-wild, that which had been for-
merly attempted, without success. He should
hope that there were none capable of the lameness
of endeavouring to do that indirectly, *lnch they
had not the courage ofcloing openly and avowedly.
As to popular clamour, which had been so much
alluded to, he must coarse that there were atone
held it in greater contempt than he did ; but there
was evidently a difference! betwen popular clamour
anti public opinion.—What, he would ask, were
the sentiments of the thinking, the oleerviiig, and
the must enlightened part of the community ?
Were they not such as hail been represented, and
ought not the House more or less to support that opi-
nion ? 'rids was a question upon which there ap-
peared to be sonic difference existing. It was
argued that the publieWere just as capable oh' form-
ing a correct opinion and judgment of the ease be-
fore them as the House could do, it clearly
matter of evidence; but thut he should deny, because
it was well known than that evidence had been very
incorrectly stated, not, perhare, wilfully son nor
partially, but merely incorrectly, on stet:met op
the numerous iewoneenienciee and lahOrsoiss duties
to which reporters were 'objected. Those alio had,
attended to the evidences* it was adduced at the bar,
were certainly therefore much more capable drum-,
lag a correct judgment. than OW public could dai
