SCOTCH JUDICATURE.

The LORL) CHANCELLOR rose and ob-
served, that as the committal of the Bill for the
better regulation of the Courts of Justice in Scot-
land, stood for to-morrow; and as it was his in-
tenrion to bring in a Bill to regulate the situation
which the Judges of Scotland and Ireland should
occupy in that House ; he now moved theit Lord-.
ships to discharge the present Order, and to post-
pone the committal until a future day.
Lord GRENVILLE felt himself obliged to op-
pose Any motion of postponement ; inasmuch as he
apprehended, that it was the inten:ion of some
Noble Lords, by delay, to get rid of the whole
measure altogether. The 111:1 was now twelve
weeks before the House and the Country. Every
information possible had been acquired upon that
subject r and he could by no means subscribe to the
pc.sit•on of sacrificing a great and important rnea.
sure of legislation, to a mere question of elivortie.
A lung and unintcreAtng conversAtton en•
sued, in which it was contended by Lord
HAWK ESBURY and the Duke of C.ION
ROSE, that it would be wore preferable to
delay the discussion of the merits of the E:11, until
the Comutittee, appointed to ascertain the places al-
lotted to the Judges of Scotland, should have made
UAW Rep.vt._

T::e Eari of ROSSLYN thought the House should
call upon the Corn Muer to scpurt forthwith tort
proceedhigs, as faros they went, and concluded with
a Motion to that elle& ; which, after some fur-
ther observations, was put and negatived.
Lords HOLLAND, LAUDERDALE, and
KINNAIRD contended, that the decision of the
House in the case of the Irish Judge (Fox) was
conclusive. The Committee who were appointed
to search far precedents on that subje(t, bad con.
eluded, from analogy, that the Irish Judges had no
right to a seat within the House ; because they had
found, tram precedents on the Journals, that such
right vas dt,licd by the House to the Judges of
Scot:and. They had no obj-etiou to an AsS of the
Leaislature, ena'iling the Judges of both countries
to enjoy that privilege ; but they could not listen
to any propcsal sehith went to delay, and pethaps
finally to drop a great measure of legislative wis.
dwa, merely because the House was not at the
litomess: prepared to answer a question of ceremony
and etirtelte.
After a variety of observations and explanations
hum several of the Noble Lords, the Lord Chan-
cellor withdrew his motion of postponement ; and
the committal of the till standsfor tomorrow,
when the Lord President and the two Senior Judges
arc crdered to attend.

After the disposal of some private busin:ss, the
I louse adj urns./ until to-morrow.

Earl TEMPLE took notice of a certain Noble
Lord, a Member ot the House (hat iihote name we
could not collasli). having voted morning,
al-
!hough adtoally takes into thit_icustody of the Sir-
jeant xt Arms ; as one of the Tellers upon the di-
vision, it fell to bins to know the ma of this state•
ment. He therefore gaged "'that the NAle Lord
trr dire led to attend in his place, to give an explana-
tion of his e,mdit/t "

Lord CAS I'LEREAGH supposed the Noble
Lord had not been apprised of the circumstance of
his having been orderei to be taken into custody.
SPEAKER. thought, that,by asiral courtesy,
the Noble Lord ought t Ise previously Informed of
the purport of this motion.
In consequence of this hint,
Earl TEMPLE gave notice, that he should give
no ice of a motion to thi, ta•nitro.e

THANKS T. TIII CoNcit;ERJR% o; ‘IUN rt vtnEo.

Lord CAS rose !or the purpose of
moving the Ihooks of the House to the individual.
who had so honourably to then TM contributed
to the success of His Mojestt's arms at Monte Vi-
deo. There was hot a more graiefal duty imposed
upon His Majesty's Ministers, nor one tnnre cern-
genial to his own feelings. than os hen called upon
to bring forward a Vote of Thanks for the brilliant
services performed by our fleets or armies. On
such a staled, all party feelings ought to be laid
aside, and only one spirit of einulotion ought to Sc.
tuate every Member, which should be most tot ward
in expressing their gratitude to those gallant heroes
who had so signally contributed to the honour of their
country, and the success of His Majesty's arms.
Whatever differences might subsist respelling the
condun of any individuals, yet mean the point on
wh ch he had now the honour to address the House,
no wish could be indulged but to bury all oinrences,
and to fi x the :attention of the House to the very
meritorious services of those who loaf been called
into active services during the late Administration ;
for but one sentiment ptevailed regaining the value
of the important services which had been performed,
or the. nature of those exertions which had taken
place itrthe execution of their orders. The indicar y
services which had been performed were of a nature
to entitle the actor, to the warmest thanks of both
Houses of Parliament. There was no description
of attack which required more skill and determined
valour ih the soldier, than that of an assault and
storm ; in the particular instance of Monte Video,
many were the embarrassing circumstances attend-
ing it on the part of our troops. which put to the
severest test the valour and discipline of our army ;
the breach made in the walls was but imperfeCt, and
the enemy, during the darkness of the night, had so
obstructed it, and it became so difficult of acif
cess, that it was almost impossible to distinguish
where the assault could be effete'', and which could
ocly have been cffened, tinder such circumstances,
by such troops as His Majesty could command.
1% hen the charader of the British Navy was also
considered, it was no wonder to find that they so ma-
ters illy contributed to the success of the undertaking;
at the same time he was happy to find, upon this and
other occasions, the British army so rapidly emu-
lating the glory of its navy. The army had certainly
not enjoyed the same opportunity of 'hewing their
services on the Continent, but in every separate ex-
ploit, they had acquitted themselves so as would
have done honour to any army in the world ; in
every instance in which they had been employed,
whether on the plains of Alexandria or Maids, they
had displayed the most exalted talents, and shewn
themselves competent to any enterprise whatever.
He was persuaded that a similar spirit wculd per.
vade our array upon every other occasion that
might offer. By a vote of thanks, the House
would discharge a duty of gratitude, and afford
a stimulus to other exertions. Intermixed with
this satistanion, he had, however, to express
his lamentation, that, however highly this trans-
anion at Monte Video was distinguished, it had
been unavoidably attended with the severe loss of
most valuable and distinguished Officers; a loss
which pressed severely on the feelings of the
country, and on the relatives of those gallant men
who had fallen; still, however, they had sacrificed
themselves, under circumstances of great honour to
their names, and had endeared their memories to
their countrymeo. Lord Castlereagh concluded
with snoring the "thanks of the House to Bilge-
dice-General Sir Samuel Aechmuty, for the skill and
valour that he had displayed in the capture of Monte
Video, ma the 9d of February last."
Mr. WINDHAM rose to second the motion.—
Nothing need be added to what the Noble Lord
had so torcinly suggested, as to the skill and valour
displayed by our General and troops upon this oc-
casion. 'There was no rule laid down for moving
the Thanks of the House, which would out apply
under present circumstance'. This event stood as
highly distinguished as any other in oar historic
annals ; when the difficulties to be surmounted were
considered, and the tremendous fire to which our
troops were exposed. The valour of our troops
was also enhanced by the valour of the opposing
foe; aod he could not help thinking, that a little of
the same valour, it dioplayei by the Spaniards in
the old world, and ogainst an enemy of another de-
scription, would be attended with a salutary result.
Sir JOHN DOY LE. said, he hoped he should be
allowed to add al. i his tribute of admiration and
gratitude to our tt,,,pc, who had coveted them-
selves with glory in the attack upon Monte Video ;
more especially, as nee of obese regiments which
had distinguished themselves, was what he himself
had raised. when his brave countrymen had fol-
lowed his fortunes in the last war ; he wished them
to know that he vra: not cool in their praises. He
had never seen an instance in which British troops
were opposed to equal forces, bitt what had re-
sounded to the honour of their country ; and, in the
Firearm instance, when the strengths of the place, the
quantity of ordnance, and the disparity of numbers,
were all taken into coosideretion, h: confessed he
knew no instance in which the present exploit had
been ex :erdeJ.

General r:liiT3 .Akt, th4t to what had been
aliemly observed in cu:nntendation of the discipline

of cur troeps,she should only make one *aides:ll
-bstrvation, that 03 the verydaltivr?on,aticiconettel Vida was taken by assault, at t

(Sir J. Doyle), estr- fish Catholics; and he Loped
t'.a: no one would say, si'-er this, that the Cathodes
were not to be eiu:ted in our army.
Similar thanks were nr,red to Brigadier-Cenral
Lum!,y, and the rest of the Officer:. Abo, that the
H -.use do highly appr,ve ct the valor and gond
eondea of the privates engaged is the attack ard

LON DON,
FRIDAY, Arnu 17.

A rapnre wag circulated, in the beginning of the
vreQk. B pAart had died of a form., hut
with si,:a..ny f.iire rumours 'f this kind fresh in our
niemor:, we took no notice el it. We understand,
however, that it is repeated. in some private letters
received yesterday from Flusum.

Foreign Papers to the I3th instant arrived yes
terday. The. French head-quarters were still ■t
Ostemde nn the 211th les:. The opposing armies
ver.: daily receiving reinforcements, and the pre.
paratiens indic•tcrd an approaching battle. BONII
ta itrr, with mote than usual caution, was forti-
fying the line of the Vistula, for his security, in
ease of an adverse result. The health of General
Bann:ono was entirely re establiZed, and he con-
tinna to enjoy the full confidence of his Sovereign,
who was espefted to join the army with his bro.
tier the Archduke Coast A et r 'me.

Our readers ate already informed. that the %-
enters had • majority of forty.sir upon Mr. Lrvi
t TUN'S nioticn in the House of Cmnmons.—This
exceeded, by tourteen. their majority on the tormer
motion by Mr. Be AND. As the aggregate num-
bers were nut, however, sogreat, and ciu:sequently
the whole strength of the respeaire parties was not
laiinght forth. the divisinn affords ao intetence re.
sperling the stability and probable pre-eminence of
the present Mini,ters. Viscount SID ItIOL TM'S ftiends
are obliged, by .t regsrd for their own consistency,
to vote with the Minister upon every motion that
iavolves the same conside-ations of delicacy towi,rds
His Met Leer. as those cf Mr. BRAND and Mr.
LYTTLI.IO/4.—We wish that some Member had
grounded .1 motion upon Mr. CA NMI NS'S threat in
do-a,ive the Pailiainent. The circumstances under
M. eli that ulleat WAS made in the debar, on Mr.

Bastro's motion, would tender it a ground for a
fair trial •f surngth betweun the pasties, totally
:fee from the objection to the two former motions.

Accounts have been receive I by Government of
the cap ure of the Crafty, schooner, by the enemy,
in the Medirer:anean, with important dispatch:A

:dykes by way of flown), that eleven Furkisit ships
of the line had been burnt in the D ardanelles, by
the boats of the British squadron; and that sisd
miral Sir T. Ducntrug tit iornediately, upon thi
event, sent a flag on shore, demanding the surreal
d.ir of the forts to the Russians, and of the Darda-
nelles to the English, threatening to bombard Con.
st ritinople, and reduce it Lis ashes, in Case of refu-
sal, giving only two hours for the delinitiv • an,wer
of the Dean. the capitulation and proposals for
peace immediately followed. This intelligence was
brought by a merchant vessel from Smyrna, which
arrived at Triestos f.t eleven days. I'he French
Minister at that place, received similar information,
tlinnigh the same efrannel.

The mortality in she Vass* nt. firatily has been
very remarkable. Lieut.-Col. VASSA IL, who fell
gloriously at Monte-Video, was the son of Mrs.

Her daughter, the amiable Mrs. locate, had died
in Mrs. VASSALL'S house a few weeks before ; and
the only child of Mrs. AMCMIIR had also died to the
