ta- the Country of, the most brain- doeription'3,
lie was sure that the gallant 'Officer must have ,bo_n
iaS , much surprised when he heard that Admiral
Gambier was made a Peer as to hear himself et:-
tolled for having athhieyed a vi4lory. There were
but two thousand seven hundred rigular troops in
Copenhagen, andas to the 'Militia of Zealand;
they were something like what the lumber troopi
of London fOrmerly were, not formed into regi-
ments, but attached Irregularly to the regiments of
the line. If, indeed, the Danish 'force shad been
considerable:, ;Would cur %troops have been allowed
to land t',-,itlient opposition Daring fhe Whole
siege 'Of Copenhagen, no opportunity had offered
for a single Officer to distinguish himself,. The
Noble Lord himself could dwell only on the Wierit Of
the artillery, a all -the merit was unquestidnahlY
theirs. The bonthardment had been conduaed with
great skill, and if the Thanks of the Home were to
be'giveu ,at all, they ought to he giveri to the artil-
lery. With regard to the precedents adduced by the
Right Hon. Gentleman, did he see no difference
between thanking Admiral Cornwallis ." thr 'the
ability, judgment,: and bravery, which, he had
played in the presenceof a superior fleet of the
Etiemy,'.' and thanking the Commanders of the Da. ,
nisi gxpedition_ for compelling. town to surrender
when resistance etas o,o9vYess? • Had the enemy
been in strong force-7hAd'they emit: alit and fought
the:field,lie had no doubt that at tinit moment ha
should have been supportiug the Vote of Thanks, to
our Commanders instead of opposing. it. After al-
luding to former Votes of TbAnks; he observed, that
even jilt _Gentlemen at iLloyd's 4ad'not. voted their,
thanka. on this occasion. They had rejoiced that
this s favourite of thcits had been appointed' Cap-
tain'•of the fleet, because froth their experience of
him mc , they pet.ited that he would take care of trade ;
:instead 4,f which he had been so much occupied in
'pelting stores into the ships, that he had, not been
able to attend to any. Other objet. Had the Right
Hen, getitlerrian h.•trd no complaints on the Subje4
of the il,jurios sustained by. our commerce ? Had he
received ntili4 at the vessels eaptided in cOnsenuenee
of this oeglea ? Never bad there been an y prditian
'which having succeeded in its first objeel, attended
so little .to: any other. II: did not direa these
observations go 11111011 apinst the gallant Admiral-
as against the Captain of his Fleas who, having
formerly written letters to the Mayor of this
and. to the Mayor of" the other place, might have
been expeatxl at least to take care thin the trade of
ithe Country did not Sillier instead at being occupied
in •.r,ins'ackioqo storel,.ouses. He complained of the
•
I'-ierage bestowed on Admiral, Galobit-r ; and, after
alluding to the Voto cf Thanks, in respect to the
former Elcpedition to Copenhagen, concluded by,
