HOUSE OF LORDS, Men Dior, Masco le.
Ce ounsel were fully heard relative to . the Soots
Appeal, William Allan, merchant in Leith, v. De
Voz, Ramsay, Wdliamson, and ethers ; viz. Mr.
Adam, on the part of the Appellant ; Messrs. No-
land and Horner, for the Respondents ; and Mr.
Adam in reply. Alter which, the Lord*Chan-
tenor, who seemed to have his mind decidedly
made up as to the merits of the case, addressed a
few observations to the House upon the suhjea, and
concluded by moving, " that the judgment of the
Court below be affirmed ;" which was ordered AC..
nordingly.
THE IMPEACHMENT.
After the above order had been made,
LotilViscount MELVILLE, who had been some
time in the House, rose, and presented a paper at
the table, which was forthwith read, but rather in
an under-tone, by the Clerk ; it proved to be his
Lordship's answer respeaing the additional Article
of Impeachment eshitsited against him by the Com-
mons. After formally reciting that proceeding, it
went (as we could colleen) to state, that the said
Viscount being called upon to answer, though no
precedeat applied to a proceeding of the kind,
thought it incumbent on him to enter his protect
against the same ; and though not conceiving him.
self bound by law or former custom to answer,
yet the said Lord Viscount Melville. confiding is
the goodness of his cause, and :he justice of their
Lordships' House, at the same time, saving and re-
serving to himself, all legal ohjettions, aild with
respea to the not being prejudiced, by any want
of forte in the proceeding, and all rights and pri-
vileges as a Peer of the Realm, and a Member of
this Horse ; he hereby answered, that he is by no
means Guilty of such High Crimes and Misdemea-
nours' as charged in the said article, and that he
is ready
_ to prove such before this Right Honour-
able House, to which he humbly submitted the
justice of his cause; and praying that he may be
discharged by the same, and dismissed with respell
Wall the allegations therein recited against, him,
&c.
The answer was ordered to lie upon the table ; and
on the motion of Lnrd WALSINGHAM, a copy
thereof was ordered to be cummunicated to the
[
Commons.
The LORD CHANCELLOR acquainted their
Lordships, that a Noble Friend of his, then absent,
intended to-morrow to move, in his place, the
'thanks of that House to Sir John Duckworth, and
the Officers under his command ; he would there-
fore propose, that their Lorcithips be summoned
far to-morrow ; which being moved by his Lord-
ship, the same was ordered accordingly.
A few Private and Return Bills were brought up
from the Commons, by Sir J. W. Anderson and
Mr. Baldwin ; the former were forthwith severally
lead a first time.
General Oakes appeared at the 13.1 r, and pre-
sented the First Repiirt of the Commissioners of
Military Inquiry, which was ordered to lie on the
table, and afterwards copies thereof to be printed
foe the use of their Lordships.
Ott the motion of Lord WALSINGHAM, an
address was ordered to l• • presented to His Majesty,
praying that he would be graciously pleased to
*trier that there be la•d beL•re the !louse a copy of
the fit st Repoli of the Commissioners appcinted to
digest and revise the civil affairs of his Majesty's

navy.
Lord WALSINGHAM moved, that the pre-
sent order, respecting the further consideration
of the Roos Peerage, be discharged, and an
order for she same purpose made for the first
11Iursday after the Easter recess, which was or-
dered accordingly.
Mr. IRVING, Inspector-general of tililmpons
