the subject at once before the House, in weber that
we may be sure what vie ale übout. (Hear!) With
the view, therefore, of pie:rutting ally dttfieulty of
r that nature from arising in Ibis stage of our proceed.:
iugs, the only proper anode will, in my rename, be,
to amend the ainendineut that hai just been rend.
This I would propose to doh/ reteumug the prelimi-
nary part of the Address propooed„ and to incorpo-
rate web it a proposition, upon which it will be pro-
per and indispensably necessary for the HOuse to
say Aye or No, upon the subject in question. 'Elie
point of form in this procedure will be decided by
you. Sir : and from the conversieion I had the ho-
nour of having with you 1111011 this nutter, it ap-
peared that the precedents of 1735 and 1;83 have
not escaped your memory. Inn the usual coarse of
such proceedings, therefore, the first division of the
House in the progress of this great question will
be that which I intend to inibinit to you in the form
of an amendment upou the naricielinent of the ori-
Omit Address, and upon this peint I think the
t' sense of tile House may be taken this night.
'Suer, Sir, to touch upon the merits of the
question itself, I must observe, that, although
I appear us a sort of voluieteer in this
great muse, vet I can assure you there is no indi-
vidual Aleinber of the House wino enters into this
inquiry with more reluctance than I do, and that
has attended to the progress of it eitli more real
pain to hiraself.—(Hear hear!) We must give
credit to our own Members, for the honourable mo-
tives which actuate their conduct : but L cannot
help saj Mg, that after all that has passed, it ate
pears to rue tlut the result of this inquiry is stanch
more likely to prove detrimental than beneficial
to the country.—(Hoer ! hear!) Since the ques-
tion has been brought forward, the House is cer-
tainly forced to meet it; arid having ',toile into the
consideration of it, by adducing evidence ut the fear,
I mu now anxious that the House should do itself
honour by its proceediug. Under that conviction
trust I shall nut disgraee myself in laying before
you what I have to propose, end I min persuaded
many Gentlemen will mark their opinion of it by
their vote in its favour. The general subject has
been so amply discussed open the separate charges,
that even had it been my Inclination to do so,
1 feel the necessity of doing it its greatly done away.
I feel no tie.ire to follow tiii.we Honourable Gen-
tlemen who have entered igto the most scrupulous
investigatiou of all the different heads of evidence.
That task has been most ably and Inmitesesly
performed by the Right Hose Gentleman oppo-
PP site (Mr. Percival), with an ebility serpuseing any
I hurt ever seen ili.pleyed inn utmost eily great cause;
insoinueh so, that even if L had not been interested
in it, I must iiecessarily have been induced by his
eloquence ant perspicuity, to enter into the con-
sideratien of this qiiestiou witli the utmost atten-
tion to his detail of evidence. I shall do him this
justice too, to say, I really think he did it with great
fairness arid conecientioussiess. On the other side,
the speech we heard last night from an llon.Gentle-
', men near me (Ser. Whitbread) must have struck
everyone ao most forcible, eloquent, mud eerlti-
euous. To enter, therefore, ; • a recapitulation
of •

into
. the tedious evidence, would only tend to eau-
, fuse and perplex, slid should never he attempted
to be practised, but ought most studiously to be
unaided. Tire ituinrrolia attendance of the 'Mem-
,- •
hem, and the great intention they have Arid, in
order to make themselves masters of the subject,
entitle them to the highest credit; and 1 hope that
they will now take care uot to dislnice themselves by
their decision. Because the Right lion. Gentle-
men opposite seem to think that some of there
witnesses have contradicted 'themselves, a thing
winch I shall not ent‘ely deny, does it follow that
their evidence would, not be received in Courts of
Justice4or that it ought not to be ettentled to here,
or that you are to be thereby prevented from tak-
ing out those parts of the evidence which are true
from those parts of it which are false ? Does my
Right liimouruble Friend think, that because some
of the witnesses are not worthy of belief, the whole of
the evidence of the others ought to be blotted, ?
Are we to imagine that persons eminently choral:-
tensed by good faith and honour are the only ones
to be believed, or that those who are keown to tell
many 'falsehoods, tell no truth in auy instance
whatever ? Are we not bewail, in such muss, to sift
their evidence to the bottom, estract that which is
rendered true by corroborativg circumstances, and
receive with caution, or wholly reject. that which
is otherwise ? Most undoubtedly ise ought to
do so. In Courts of Law, the rules of evidence are
hi a great measure precisely defined, but even there
imolai constraint Is imposed. Ilere we must act
for ourselves, and attach credit to such parts of
evidence as we decal worthy art it, and open
the whole of it form a general opinion.—
With regard to iucwy of the witnesses iii this re-
meta case, I may say, 1 hardly ever remember of
having seen any where b 0 much truth and Use-
hood intermingled ; but is it therefore possible to
• say, that where you suspect falsehood to resist, it is
the same thing as if you had heard nothing ut all
passing from the mosiths of such witnesses, or
that not a word of truth hail been uttered by thieve ?.
As to Mrs. Clarke, the principal witness upon this
occasion, I think some ports of her testimony
appear to be so stroirg, us to lie totally introit-
trovettible ; and theref we bring the matter
home to the knowledge of his Royal Highness.—
The princiisal part of the other evidence that ap-
pears to do so, as the testimony of Miss Ann Tay-
lor.—Attempts have been suede to invalidate the
testimony of this young woman ; but I must con-
fess they have not been such as were conviucing to
use, although some suspicion might attach to her,
from the circumstance of her declining to answer
certain questions. ldo not mean those relative to
her parents, but other questions ; for the list
auswering of which, it was hardly possible she
could hive any reason. Attentliii4 to her evi-
dence strictly, and taking into view the internal
evidence of concurring circiiimitaness, it is difficult
for me to believe that the conversation she entitled
to did not pass iihnost in the very words in which
she suited it. If that conversation slid puss, I eel..
tinily think it does carry a degree of suspicion, its-
,
ther exceediug that which my Hum Friend near
ore (Mr. Bathurst) was willing io ascribe to it;
•nsmdv, that sconstant iiiireserved intercourse, with
regard to military promotions, took place between
his Royal Highness, lend Mrs. Clarke. It Mrs been
. questioned how far it was probable that this woman
shouid recollect one cuuvereation with ouch accu-


racy, rand not one circumstance that occurred
in ally other of tile convenuttiuiss at which she
was present. But let us see a little how far
this hears upon her veracity and credibility.—
We are to suppose, as has ken alleged, that Miss
Taylor comes here us our of a conspiracy ; if so, was
it, l would ask, difficult for her to have stated
seine furthet consr in order to do away inch
? went to establish that the

an objections ? 'fliey
notes received by Mrs. Clarke front Lieute-
nant-Colonels Knight, Brooke and Taylor, were
shetvii to the Coinmander-its-Chief; was it hot
competent to have hrolight forward Miss Ann Tay-
lor, to have stated, that she actually was press et
wheel they were so sheou to the Duke, if she laud
really been a wituess disposed to conic forward to
tell deliberate falsehoods Would it have been a
difficult matter, wider such circumstances, for her
to say she was present, and saw the note deli-
vered to Ludorick to change? Here, I say, was
eviJence expedient, and within their own reach,
impossible to have been coutroverted. Miss Tay-
lor, when examined as to other conversations,
Mated, that he did not remember any other,
than that of which she gives us the words; and I
think Isar teistiinony on diet account is the more
credible. There is unother part of the testimony,
not oral, hut written, which, I think, is of great
imitortance, and to it I shall allude. it is called
the mysterious note; and I think 1 never reincinber
of one more to in all my life. 1 do not think
it is ibfficult to imitate any 1111 ml-writing,
that credit might be given to it us C
from rowdier; but upon this I must recut to
the substaidial internal evidence et its not be-
ing a forgery, as has beets alleged. IVhere is
the evislentse that this note was written by Mrs.
Clarke to venni:isle Gentlemen that she had in-
fluence with the Commander-in-Chief, whets, from
the delay ;it regard to Touyit's eppointinete, it save
them reason to think she was deceit/nig hins : It
was written in a manner that might persuade Gee-
denten of tiny thing they might think pro-
tier to construe into it, might make them be-
lieve either that Tonytes business was to rest
1111 it was, to go ou, Of to stop. la short
it annonitcil to nothing at all, unless thou who re-i
criaed it believed it actually came from the Cowman-
der-iu-Cliitl, and was written in his 61111. s riling.
If this note were a forgery she lutist have been eels-
Wile it was written in a style that implied nothing,
and therefere could not have the effect it is alleged
was intended by it, namely, to iiithice Coleuel
Tortyas not to withdraw his isinney, which had
been lodged for his promotion. This note may not
only he understood in different walye, but it is also
written without a signature. If it were forged, she
had surely no difficulty to have given it it signature
equally well as to have written the other part of it,
and the more especially, as it appeared from her
crass-examination, that imitating hand-writings was
her patticular talent. Here then is a woman with no
fame tine character to preserve, mat not much con-
strained from committing any crime of this scot,
according to the opinion of dim! Right Ilonoura-
hle Qientleineti, forging a note, which a as evidently
not sue of the sort which could convey the senti-
ments which it is alleged she must have inesint to
convey. 1 really think it would have left Colonel
Touyit in as snuch doubt as before: This note
appears to have gone to lain by menus of Captain
Sandell, althou,ii evidently never intended by the
Duke 110 r by Mrs. Clarke to have been so deliver-
ed. Captain Sandell', who is deserving of no be-
lie; whaled to conceal this; note, beilig conscious
"he haul taken it unknown to Mrs. Clarke—
who, in her testimony, sheet she was entirely ig-
norant of it, ever having liven 111 his custody.—
Did not all this tend to prove, that it, war no for-
gery, but was uctuully of the Royal Duke's hand-
writing? If; then, 1 lie asked a, to whether or not
I here any suspicion of Col. Toilyn getting his tiro.
tnotiots from the Duke, through Mrs. Clarke's in.
flatewe and interference, I atisaer, that walling
in more probable; for it is clear, that Isis Royal
Highness knew of the whole circus nstance concerns
tug it. This, however, was one of the question,
which the Right lion. Getithatian opposite chows
to involve in difficulty. I have 110 reuson to lieges
five the gm:4Mo as to his 'luring some such know-
ledge of it ; although I might feel some degree of
hesitation. The transaction, as to the levy of Cole
Friatch, is ',tie that is also said to line preicured
1 Mrs. Clarke money, throng's the influence of the
I Duke, awl with Isis knowledge; but this in some
degree i negative, as there is tin proof, in my opi-
, Mom of any corrupt connivance or participutionou
! the part of his Royal Iliglineas. In regard to sonie
of these promotions, it is evident, that eircumstaisres
are proved, which spew that he must have had
souse general information of them. The letter as
to GenerstlCltivernig's levy of meth evidently 'thew-
ed, that there was a return made by the Duke to
the application of Mrs. Clarke, by his stating, that
the new regiments were to he nosed from the ise-
cond battalions, mid, although it aliewed nothing
either political or judicious, yet it confirmed that
general intercourse which subsisted between We
Royal Highness and this individual, which has opee
rated so detrimentally to Isar character. There is
another part of the same letter, which relates to
Dr. O'Nlestra; and why does that learned Doctor
carry his credentials to Mr.. Clarke ? Is it not
bet:agree this foolish end ambitious man wished, by
preaching before Royalty, to elevate himself into
some situation of promotion, through the medium •
of Mrs. Clarke? These are points which nip
pear to me to form prominent feature* in this
cause, and such as are etifficient to jiistife the
House in founding the result of this
which I shall sotoiiit to their consideration.—
It is impossible, I think, that the house 4%111 admit
any proceeding of a criminal nature upon any of
thnse proceedings that have transpired, and far that
reason I think it but justice to his Royal Highness,
as well as fairness, to thecouistry, to state explicitly,
and in is cosicentrated point of view, whet is our
opinion of the whole investigation that has taken
place as to their great anal substantial charges. It
will surely he a great cosesolation to His Majesty
to kilo*, that the decision has loot the greatest pdt't
of its violence against his royal offspring. by our
stating that it does not appear proved that there
was tiny corrupt connivance or participation on the
part of the Coinmander-in-Chief. But it isimpas-

!bible that any °wean so clearly raculpate his Royal
Highness as my Right Hon. Pliend propo.es to de
by Lis amendment, fur it absolutely gives a

tire to any knowledge of the whole transactions.—
Even if there were no knowledge proved, 1 inn con-
viewed that the general notoriety of these bungee•
tions, and the eoristant applications to him ue his
official capacity as Commander-in-Chief, might have
easily.. created a suspicion iii his Royal mind, that
Mrs. Clarke must have been participatieg pecu-
Mary einoltiinente iilising.frinn corrupt practicer as
to promotions, and therefore it is impossible he call
be entirely exculpated. I think that the corres-
pondence produced by Cuptaio Huxley Satiden is
extremely inaterial,and particulurly that letter from
Mrs. Clarke to him, Which mentioiled her jealousy
as to Greenwood ; which jealousy could not have
existed, if she hail out been conscious every thing
hod been contillltittented to the Duke, and should
they meet in the Is.' in the Opera, they might be
led to talk of the levy. There is one other main
point, a hick it appears necessary for me to include
in the amended Address, and that is, midi regard
to the immorality displayed upon Ihis occasion,
which although alluded to in the emendment
my Right Icon. Friend, is not is sullicielitly strong
terms. This House, the guardian of the laws, con-
stitution, and liberties of the country, ought ako
to be regurdful of the public morals, and espe-
cially in such times as these. It is impossible not
to think that digs is a species ef immorality whick
'night corrupt the public mind, and operate us au
example upon other clauses of society. It is pecu-
liarly necessary, fer the public example, to do away
such u public scandal, and it is not sufficient there-
fore to say merely that we lament that such a con-
tiect iou should have Luken place. 'rile Address to
His Majesty, upon the opening of Parliament, is
generally made :Iran echo to the speech ; but was
it ever conceived that such an addresses this was to
lie tin echo to a letter.—/!/ear ! hear ! hear!)—
A letter, too, received under such circuinstaiices
as those attending the ono sent by the Duke of
York. To do so would not be making a public
example to the country, aunt it would be so like an
humble obedience to the dictates of his Royal
flightless, that it would not convince the enuistre
that we prcTeeded upon 'pure mid honest ttttt
The lion. Clent Leman then concluded with moving,
as an Amenilineet to the first Amendment,
" That au humble Athlotsio be-presented to His •Mujesty,

Title Amendineet teas then read from the Chair.
AI-. 'Foals said lie felt, in rising to deliver his
sentiments upon the subject-matter of debate, that
he was to address Gentlemen who were in the prac-
tice of acting as Bilagistrates and Grand Jurors;
that that House ea.. the virtual and true represent-
ative of the people; and drat under no considera-
tion would they ever sacrifice their judgment to
popular clamour. flefore he entered Mb) the sub-
ject,
or expievsed his opinion, he wished to state
upon whit gi.oottiols it uplo.mied to hint to stand.
Ile coined, red it to be divided auto two q uestions

of persoird corruptien Or corrupt conativaliers i
ohich beaux determilied, whether lie was innocent
or guilty, would lead them to cuusider what fur-
ther proceedings should be taken ; and, seceudly,
whether there was not sidlicient evideuce to in-
duce theist to determine that the Linke of York's
conduct was incorrect? which would also lead
theta to what proceedings ought to be had up-
on taut, determmetioui. An, Honourable Gentle-
Mail. in the first of the pirocestifiligs, hail proposed
an Address, upon which an ameedinent had bees'
made by his Right Honourable Friend, to lay aside
that Address, HIM titiOid Iwo Iteeolutions, for the
House to come to some vote upon. This had been
followed by another motion, of the Honourable
Gentleman who had just spoken, and who hail set
tip another Address, which, although differing much
in terms from the first Address, was substantially the
mime. Were it riot for his perfect knowledge of
that lion. Member, or, indeed, for a general belief
that no 3leintier of that House would, intentional-
ly, throw difficulties in the way of their proceed-
ings, lie should feel an inclination to uscribe to this
measure a purposed contrivance to involve them in
difficulties. He had avowedly proposed it to foci-
, litute their decision, and remove iiiirtyrictes,
by pursuing the course lie did, he had actually iii-
creased them. 'rile Right lionouralde Member
then described the elfect which the proposed
measure would have, in clashing with the for-
mer propositions, a hieh lie declared to be so
very hark:ate, that lie would have opposed it tyre'
the grounds of intricacy alone, had he had
no other objection to it. Ile then referred
to the general matter bcfore the House, and wished
to state what waa his view of the subject. It ap-
peared that in the rear 1804, his Royal Ilighntes
&ruled unfortunately au improper action with
Mrs. Clarke, which was continued for the space of
two years and a half. during which tieriod,
through the medium of her agents, corrupt pray-
. tices had been carried cm to au alarming claim,.
In the airmail of May, t mei. lie found reason to at-
penile from her. It had heel, stated, that through

taken place; rianidv, Grimed French's levy, Co-
lonel Shaw's, Mr. bowler's, and that of Lieute-
nant-Colonels Brooke *ad Knight. 'The prineipal
Witness to attach this crinnizelity to the Duke of
York was Mrs. Choke, to whose teetimony nu credit
could be attached, miles. corroborated by other cir-
comstonces. lie felt it ininectereary to go over the
whole evnlence, or to remark upon the chem.:ter of
the several persons who load appeureil at their Der.
es it haul already undergone solids ample consider-
ation. There was one eirciiiiistiiime, however, rela-
tive to Mr.. Clarke, which haul not been adverted
to, but whichappeated to has. made souse impression
upon the country, injurious tie the character of the

•
Duke of York. Many persons thought that
hail been reduced fruin the arms of her luaisbitiet,
debauched and ebandoned ; this, however, was
not the fact, it was wholly an exaggeration. lit
the course of Mrs. Clarke's evidence she had timid,
that she had been intimately Herturiided with a
Mr. Ogilvie, an army agent, before she vies ac-
quainted with the Duke. f York, or at least be.
fore she went to reside in Glom-ester-plata . Pre-
elites to that time the had been crummiest before

ruptcy, mid lied been asked, during- the 1 xamina-
bon, whether she lived with Mr. o.:Alvie ?To which
she answered, thut he had lived with hi r. jt
was a materiel thing to notice this circa mutilate.
for it was naturally to he inferred, trout her has-
iug lived with an army ogeot before she went to
Gloucester-place, that she had prev;ously acquired
a knowledge of artily jobbing. Irvin tier exami-
nation before the Cseninittee, she had been
asked, what induced her to take up this mode of
Sheanseered,herdis.ressescompelled
cif to it, sail that elle comet not odic-rein • iti, o. sap-
piwted her establi,lnnent. It had betas also stui...l
y her, that it was sonic months Ott e see acid
to Glotieettersplace that site ndoptee this expe-
dient; she supposed half a year. Elba estithliali-
ment hi Gloucester-place took place in Jaaiiiirv,
1804, and yet her preposal to Colgate' French
was in February, 1804; and in consequence of
this proposal the app oilitineut is sand to have
taken place ; a letter froiu Captain 4anden's bu-
reau proved his statement ; so that lie was justified
in asserting, that when she clone into the Ottke of
York's hands, out of Ogilvie's situp, she was ini-
tiated into all the chicanery of army jobbing ; rind
when it was lhuud that this tratisection laid com-
menced so much earlier than she had stated, could
any one otheye that she hail spoken truth upon
the subject? The letters of Coloiitt French and
Captain Sandra', of the mouth of March, further
.proved that she was tellini; an untruth, he at
that Liar ;so that her distresses at that bind idol ap-
peared mere fabrications. The Huiloilvalile Cep-
tlianan who spoke last had considered the sub-
ject of Colonel French's levy the most aus-
picious of all ; but lie considered that the only
corroboration of this story was in the conversation
of Miss Taylor with his Royal Ilighners; and upon
this he had a strong doubt whether such conversa-
tion had ever taken place; he doubted it floor the
general tenor of her evidence relative to Mrs. Fa-
.
Very ; she had lutig„known Mrs. Fuvery from her
acquaintance with Mrs. Clarke; had frequently vi-
sited her while she bred at Mr. litlis's, and yet she
said she never knew her to go by the name of
Farquhar ; this, he thought, very improbable.—
More suspicion again attached to her from
the weakness of her memory on other point, es she
could nut recollect conversations with 'maims with
whom she wit, very intimate ; while, upon this par-
ticular point, she could speak with certainty, and
yet forget every thing else connected with it. He
felt it was impossible to find the Duke of York
guilty upon auch evidence as this. That the
Duke of York conversed with her upon military
affair% lie conceived extremely probable; there was
nothing more likely ; he being•always engaged in
military affaire, was it at all improbdble th .t he
should occasioaally converse with her upon the
subject, in whom he placed so much coutidetice ?
It was a fact which could hardly be denied.—
But be would ask, whether that, in Can-
StitUted 11 crime ? or whether the House could,
consistent with humanity or justice. on entertain-
ing such au idea, inßict so heavy a punishment?
It tile Duke of Yink had spoken at all to Mrs.
Clai Se upon the subject of the levy, he was coil-
% weed it was not iii the way implied. A cotiversa-
bon might have taken place shout the time at
whirl) the levy was stopped, as, from the minutes,
it appears in 1005. without proceeding from ally
corrupt motive. The Right !foe. Gentleman Own
alluded to the 'tote which hail created so nitwit
doubt us to bring the Duke's writin,;; and said he
could tint doubt for u moment but Mrs. Clarke
was equal to ally, t:Oliiiivaisce which could answer
her designs. Tlw person from the Batik who had
examined this note, and who had at first expressed
his conviction that it was the writing of the Duke
of York, yet when he saw the letters of Mrs.
Clarke, they brought a doubt upotehis mind, from
the similitude of the character, of its being writ-
teu by the came person ; and when it was consi-
dered that in a few (Idyl alter this letter had been
given, she received Soul. and that she powsessed a
facility to imitate, was it not reasonable to con-
clude that this daageroua woman would have re-
course to such a practice us readily as to fivlsehood?
An Honourable Gesitleinan had hull stress on the
woes upon the hills ; but @wild not the ihand
which forged that letter have forged those 'totes ?
Ile did not consider it necessary to say any thing
relative to Colonel Shaw's case; that bail already
been satisfactorily explained. As to Mr. bowler,
it Wil.4 scarcely necessary to soy any thing about
him, for his evidently was seari:ely to be credited ;
it was well knOwii lie Was her favourite paramour,
and was it likely she sliould exact a thousand
pounds from him ; lie should rather consider
that it was a I:olstr:vatice to draw a tilOtistind
pounds from his father's pocket, particularly• as it
appeared lie was concerned with her in on
which she got credit in the mouth of June, from.

Watson. as it was in his department, nod us it lea:

took place, three had been 'downed through his
recommendaticsi.—/ Hear ! Hear Thnt cir-
cumstance, coupled with what Alderman Collette
recollected on the subject, confirmed him in his
opinion. Colonel Taylor was mistaken in describ-
ing the expense of the levy. He lead said the men
raised cost the country one hundred and fifty
pounds a men; but it was proved by the pape:t
recently laid on the table, that they did
not cost more than 411. a man. and this was at
as cheap is rate us some other levies. Ile had no-
thing more to say on the criminal pelt of the
charge, then that 'any man who knew the Duke
of York could not think him o mean as to become
• cotrupt participator with Clarke. The
Right lion. Gentleman then adverted to the pro-
posed Address; it was such as he wasconvinv:cd the
House could 'fever adopt; every thing was ins-
stunted in it, and nothing asserted. It commenced
with the first resolution of his Right Hon. Friend.

then it avenged in form, and concluded with re-
commending the dismissal id hi, Roy al Highness.
It was impos,ible the House 1•01111(1 adopt such ail
Addres,. If they thought lent guilt!, the pro-
ceeding would not be jos', they stitixt stool him to

right to expect, and what he had so right to elation.

(Hear! Hear!) It wasallowed by the Constitution
that the House 101:1440'.45V1i that power; fur if they
could exclude a Prince because he was a Papist, so
they could exultitle him on any other

Aeat • o—To be sure, when the people in these
eountries had antlered and were still suffering the
greatest privations ou account of the eventful
times in which they lived, some consideration
was due to their sufferings, and it was to be
exliectecl they might be disposed to listen to
those who spoke of the estravail,ance or vices of
all in power, the accusations of bribery and tor-
ritption in that House, and of abuses iu every
department of the state. It was well known
such reports did exist; and they were with the great-
est industry circulated throughout the country, by
means resorted to for the purpose, and with a
most extraordinary interest. Still, whatever might
be the popular cry, it would nut be proper in the
Hotter to attend to it ; and by concluded by say-
ing, it was iiielimputable, but if the popular cry
were out of the commie'', the House would not feel
at all disposed to agitate further the subject now
before them, on the conduct of his Royal llighness
the Duke of York.

Mr. LEACH thought it his duty, upon this im-
portant occasion, to address a few observations to
the attention of the House. Neither of the Ad-
dresses moved respectink the Duke of York met
with his approbation--bemuse neither of them ac-
quits his Royal Highness from every species of cri-
minality and connivance relative to the uhuses com-
plained of—and because they both continua request
hit His Majesty will be graciously pleased to re-
move the Duke of York from the command of the
army. First of all he was inilneed to say, that
he could not believe the evidence upon which
these Addresses were founded, for he certainly
could not reedit Mrs. Clarke lierselfr-she was con-
tradicted he the testimony of others, and there were
also contradiction and int-inisisteiicy within her own
evidence. He trusted the House would indulge
him in the course of what he et...lndere(' the die-
• barge of his duty, while he referred to the writ-
tety.testimony now before them. He contended,
if recourse were And to that part of the papers
which contains her evidence, and that of Knight,
she is there most flatly contrailieted be him, re-
lating to what she Iced expressed on a former in.
stance, in respect to the threat she made of ruining
the Duke. Whatever might have been said by the
Honourable Gentlemen (Mr. Whitbread) near
I hita;outi which be wee astonished to.hastr, that Mre.
•

Chrke's testimony remained unemitradicted and •
unimpeached ; yet on his (Mr. L's) mind there was
a clear conviction of her teminunly being fully
euntredieted, and not worthy of belief. (The Him.
and Learned Gentleman here read that part of the
evidleace). The next instance of her being con-
tradicted would evidently appear from what she
had slatted regarding her wt havitig seen thr lion.
Memberwbo brought forward these charges thedny
before ; she said, In 3114.11 3 1111InIter thus precluded

Atone, without referring to the evidence itself, he
waidd endeavour to recollect the other eases, to
which he wits demi ttttt * of calling the attention of
the House ; and they would remember, when Mts.
Clarke was 'piked whether die was in the habit of
tiering Mrs. Favery, she ward she was not ; and then
Mrs. Fibs afterwards stated Mrs. Clarke was 111 the
habit of seeing Mrs. Favery, end often visited tier.

evidence wee; itko in itself inconsistent and contra-
. dietorv. With respect to Mr. Dossier, she not
only &flied having slept at the Slitughter Coffee-
house, but said she hail, nut seen Mr. Dewier the
very night alluded to,' which was very material.
He was ready to *limit, indeed he was confident,
that the note so often mentioned wa; the hand-
writing of the Duke of York, and he was also of
eetinion the elide lice respecting it was conclusive
,to this estent, it proved his Royal Highness had
some cominimicatiou with Mrs. Clarke oil Major
Tonyn's uppointment ; but that communiretnill
was entirely innocent on his part, and seas the
writing of the note itself. He hail next to snake
a few observations upon whet had been said by
Miss Taylor respecting Colonel Fieuch and his
levy. ('Yule Hon. Member read the passage from the
minntes, where Miss Taylor relates the wordsof the
Dislie of Vol k on that subject, to a conversation with
Mrs. Clarke.) He was not disposed to believe this
tesmormy a complete fabrication on the part of
Miss Taylor; but there tireitir(l to 1111113 diaposi-

sidered what Mite T. hail said for herself on this
occaeiou, when she swaeasked how she C.llllllto re-
enllect this particular cooveneetein from so distant a
pet ird as four years ago To this she answered, she
had frequently from that time recollected the cir-
cumstance ; hut email behig tusked further, she
could not in the least recollect what Mrs. Clarke
said in reply. Veit he was certain, and it eras On-
poredhle It should he otherwise, Miss Taylor could
not forget ; she had been inclined to suppre.s a part
of the conversation, and thereby to give it a defer-
ent colour from that which would otherwise bare

another topic of animadversioa is the speech of the
Honourable Gentleman ; hit if we look into the
account, all which haul been immediately expend-
ed or supplied by credit on the part of the Duke
of York, the amount of those sums would lie about
16,0001. Another getieral principle, and a very
powerful one, was the conclusioa drawn from
the Duke of York permittin% so • tustous me
,procedure as die Levy of CAo tuba French. If
it were as stated, it would, must of all, sliew
corruption iii the Commuiteler-iii-Chief; but
he del not admit the fact. Colonel French had
acted 111 a regular way, and no doubt would have
obtained the levy without any adesistatice from Mrs.
Clarke. It was strange ant oue should argue that
each man coot 1.501.; whereas it was au erroneous
opinion, founded upon the ultservatiou of lienerul
Taylor, whose mode of reckoning was for one 111311
only. thi this subject it wits ma our duty to in.
quire what injury merely resulted from this levy ;
but if it were mitred for thevurpose of privately 1 e-
netittipx Col. French ? Did Col.Frencli gain ally ail-
:gouda es. by this levy? Now the fact was, he bee much
from his undertaking, and that cotisideeitiou alone
(hosed there coatd be no collision between him

guesting private ailvadotage. Ile would pass over
Brooke and knight/ for, whatever the case might
be, it was not 4,ovsolicit could in the slightest de-
gree call in tptestion th- rt I triode of the Cuar•
mender. If, in the case of Colonel Shaw, he had
first been promoted, and afterwards put 011 half-
pay. because lie did nut pay a certain sum of
money to Mrs. Clarke, it would be a strong
instance of corruption against his Royal High-
lieu. But it was not true ; the case was other-
wise, and Colonel Shaw was glad to accept Ins
situation, oil coadition of his being put on
pay. He did not believe the Duke of York was at
all privy to Samuel Carter's having stood behind
the chair of Mrs. Clarke ; at the same time he
might have been in that situation; yet it did nut
follow the Duke must necessarily have beets cog-
nizant of diet circumstance. Believing as he did
there was no truth in the testimony adduced, he
considered himself bound to dissent from die Ad-
dress, and to declare he snort firmly believed there
was no criminality nor connivance in the centime
of the Dnke of York ; neither did he see any rea-
son for the interference of that Howie. and by
acting 011 that subject it was net likely at would be
attended with any salutary effect. Much had
been impressed upon the minds of individuals
with regard to the proper ilkeharge of their
duties in that House. He thought the only duty
they were bound to attend to, wits to read with
coolness and impartiality die whole of the evidence

by ally °pillion; and thereby thy would hem ilia-
cherge their dnt'. If any Member should act
otherwise, and be biassed by the sentiments out of
doors. he would relinquish his ditty, and his con-
diva wonld"be su libel on the good sense of that
!bow andilii Country.
Lord rOLICSTONC then rose, and stinke in sub-
stanee nearly as follows : lo proceeding to offer
lay rentiinents upon the question before the flower,
shall, in the first place, notice some observations
that have fallen from the Right Honourable Gee-
denten onposite, and si few or thnse whip have pre-
ceded hint in the debate. With respell to what fell
from that Right Hononnible Gentlemen, in refer-
ence to the proceedings recommended by my Hon.
Friend, I must observe, that upon its legality
and constitutionality I have no donbt, and neon
its propriety in the prevent Maumee us little. I
think it is desirable that it should conic before the
House ip one connected view, and be decided ore

_.

that liberal scale proposed in the Resolutions.—
With respect to certain topic* contained in the lat-
ter part of his speech, I carrot pass turn over with-
oat notice. He talked nitwit of public opinion, and
the influence it ant had, and the impropriety of sub-
mitting to it, wheat ummormitemied with justice ;
but I do not see say possible ground on which
be can rest the judgment, that my Honourable I
Friend has been induced to adopt this course
from any weak and culpable suloservieficy to pub-
lic Opi7iion ; fur my own part, agreeing with Into
as I do as to the propriety of the course be has,
adopted, I do not think that there is any ground
for accusing me of a weak submission to that
opinion ; anal the Right Honourable Gentleman
may recollect, that not long ago I braved its
voice, and trimmed ait universal clamour, for the
sake of what appeared to me to be justice. I
laeg likewise to allude to an expresston which
seems to reflect upon any Honourable Friend ; it
was said that we were not h Ito attribute pro-
per motives to our Members ; but can any one
thick of charging my Honourable Friend with
improper motives ? (Hear! hear!) I am stir-
prised that any one should go out of his way to
attach Limits him an imputatimi so utterly ground-
less. (Hear !.1 I sin pet ouriled that he was
influenced in this business by pure and genuine
patriotism, by an attachment to his country, and
to the principles of truth and justice ; lay a wish
to overthrow corruptiou, to ensdicitte the vices that
undermine the stater-nod sap the foundation of
civil Society. There is another olsiervation of the
Eight Honourable Gentleman, to which I cannot.
forbear directirg your attention, as I think it is
of importance that it should he discarded ; he
*elated, that the result of this inquiry was likely to
be rather iiijorious than otherwise. Sir, agatisst
this opinion I must protest ; when such things are
hrotight to light, when suelt abuses are proved to
exist in the tioverament wider which we live, I
cannot thank the consa *peace of that discovery

that the Itight I lonoural.Ae Gentleman, tee friend

as not litie!y to be ron,etieial. Sir, I believe no-
. thilig can be more ; the subject is now
before us, and if the House act up to the int-
' piwtance of the subject, I beheve it will do more
to defend the erase of liberty, mod defeat the ef-
forts of a foreign for, than any other cireitinstailee
within the compass of its power. Again, the Ho-
t:mumble Gentleman has urged as :VI argument in
this ease, that the Hoke of York has served the
army ; ha. this I know nothing ;. I am snot :legatos*.

solti II cooler hinds; that he had alunidomill the

the advice of those counsellors in preference.
Now, tit all times I dislike such attacks.—
I do not know what the Right Honourable Gen-
tleman means by those advisers of whom he
speaks, and I cannot help thinking it unfair
that my Honourable Friend should be attacked in
u manner so unsatisfactory and inexplicable. pie

improper isilluence in the department of the army

cipating in, those refits, which, by the exercise of
that itifineure, she procured. Such are the charges ;
as to the evidence resorted to for their establish-
ment, exception has iiceis taken to it by the imp°.
rile side of the House. It is stated, that the bl iu-
dishments of Mrs. Clarke render one no proper and

such motives as cast a cloud over and defeated it.
But when it appears that she was employed in

revenge ; when it appears that the papers now be-

when this appears to your witilifiction, you mules

account for the apparent contradiction. When the

u The question of peace or war, and the part
that Austria is to take, has been fur a long time
the subject of much uncertainty in conversation.—
This micertsiuty arises from our ignorance of how
Austria actually stands with Russia. Within these
two days the rumour of war has gained much
ground. The whole Austrian force is to be divi-
ded into three armies. The Emperin in person
will take the command of one of them, with Qum-
ter-Master.fien. Chastoler under hha. The •Id will
be commanded by the Archaluke Charles, with the
Prince of Lichtenstein and Quartcr-Master-Cene-
rid Moyer tinder him. The third will be confided
to the Archduke John, with General Bach fur his
Quarter-Nlaster-tieneral. This,army anears des-
tined to take a position in iiiter.or Austria: The

It "IR% reported, yesterday, that a prorogati•

however, thut there is no foundation for this rus

Mr. BANKES prop ssed, last night, in the House

yesterday, respecting his Royal Highness the

tion been less strung, it would have snore sup-

middle measure b. tween Mr. Ataante's and Mr.
PERCEYAL's, will probably have that effect, and
unite many of the moderate men who would not
have toted for Mr. W A not.t's Address. The ge-
neral opinion is, that Mr. BA LB'S motion will be
carried. The debate will run into the ensuing
week.

It does not appear from them that BONAPARTE had

We mated, yesterday, a report of the arrival of
a INlesirciiger from the Contitolit, with au riecouid
that Austria, joined by muse oilur Poweis upon

Lily Charlotte Wellesley's r lopetrietit with Lord

she said, to take u14.01k. :the left hint at the gate,
with directinua to eeturo for her in en hour. Unriug
this interval, Mr. H. IVellesley had !eft his room,
and inquired fur her. A qt ;taut teas sent to the
Green Park to look for her, but all search theie
and every oboe else loured inetks.tutd. When
Lude Charlotte left the house, her agitation was
so great as to be apporeot to all ei.e dcluesties i
the holler partwislarly observed, that in the hur-
ried manner its which she'lliepenttl to leave the

child for her companion, in her rimming walk.
The little fellow earnestly desired the usual Mile!:
grime, but she refused, und he was left bellied.
These, and many other circutristunces, led to .
picion that she had eloped, and Lord Pueet,from his
attentions, was immediately suspected to he the

the same evening, Lady Emily IVeitestey, her Kis-
ter, moue to his house ne Curzon-street ; and hav-
ing received from her women the keys of her sister's •
drawers, carried off part of their contents in threa
bundles, without fesviug seen Mr. H. Wellesley. .•
As soon as he was informed of this circumstance,
lie demised the remaining articles, and observed.
tbuit Lastly Emily roust explain this eircuingtener
" hereafter... It also appears from the statement of the
domestic, who atteuded upon her out of doors, that
she bad orderad,withia the lost ten days, considerable
quantities, of dresses of various kinds, at the saute
tune desiring the trades-people not to send them to
her house, but to keep thew until she should send

called for by the same persou who brought i:. •
saying, r• they were brought home by mistake, as •
her Ladyship had :osrocularly requested they
might be kept st the shots until the sera a special
messenger for them."
From these circumstances it is ioterted, that the
elopement was a long-premeditated plan. The
story of a duel between Lord Psget and Sir A.
Wellesley, the brother of the injured husband, still
prevails; but from the secrecy observed by the re-
latives of the rune% it is impossible to streak
with eel taiuty on the subject. Many, however,
assert that a duel has actually taken place. " The
fugitives, it is said, sere overtaken by Sir Arthur
Wellesley. about four miles on the other side of
Uxbridge, near Bulatrode. The Lily nos brought
back, and a challenge liming been given, a meet-
ing took place on Tuesday morning behind
Holland House, Kensington, in the same field
where Lord Cumelford was killed by Mr. Best.—
The parties were, however, disturbed, and the
meeting was postponed until Wednesday morning,
when they met in a field not fur from Chalk Farm.
Lord Paget received the hall on the right side of the
abdomen. He fell, and was taken to a cottage in the
neighbourhood, where he remained until •he Was
coeveyed borne at 1,2 o'clock to Uxbridge-hotrsc.
The ball. ue understood, is not extracted, and
there are pin hopes of his recovery. Sir Arthur
Wellesley not having been missed from his public
duty, has given strength to the opinion that no
duel has taken !dote: The above account of the
reported duel appeared iu some of the most re-
spectable paper, of yesteedar- ; but, as we have
already stated, nothing COMBS epos this subject
has been vet ascertained. .
