_Lord Lake's Annuity Bill VV,i5 br6ught up from
the CoMmonS, and: read a first t;toe. - -
On the Mot* of Lord LAtioatnAt.ii -the •Com-
mittee on the Reversionary Grants which stood
for Thursday next, Was deferred till Alimany.
Lord HOLLAND also moved; that the order made
out for his Motion on Thursday next, o the general
policy of the Orders in Council, be disclyriged; and
that a new order be made for Thursday se'unisht.
AMERICA.

Lord GRENVILLE rose to pit a question to the
Noble Secretary. of State, before the House entered
on the important discussion which vv:ei this eight to
engage their attention, respeCtieL; a topic, winch of
• late had often been Alluded to hi the course of. de-
bate. The subject to which rt.i.Crreti was' tim as-
sertion made by the Noble Secretary; to :rs.l..tared-
ly with no design to mislead, that the Treaty signed
with America, by the late Administration; lad been
received in America previous .to the separatiou of
Congress ; and that the Treaty was refitscd to be'ra-
tified, and was sent baelt.by the PreSideoref the
United States. Now he believed he- might 'sately
venture to assert, that'neither of these asSerttees were
founded in' fact ; and if the Noble Secretary 'hid ad-
•tanced any such assertions without due considera-
tion, he was convinced that his usual candour would
incline him to acknowledge the inadvertence. This,
in his mind, was a topic that could not Le too urea
insisted upon, and which was likely soon to come
before their Lordships in a variety:Of shapes.' Not
only,' he believed, the Treaty; in qtrestant had not
been received in Ameri6 bcforceongress had sepa,
sated ; but that might very well be the reason wity
it was supposed :he President had refused to ratify,
and, why number of insinuations were .sttldiouSly
sent abroad of . the predetermined hostile dispoSit ton
on the part-of America. ' But: it not. in Atnerica
only that such notions were, propagated, Every
thing here seemed anxiously seized .taut conkl stir
up a spirit of animosity against inctiza, and pre-
pare the public mind for that coun-
try, than Which there was nothing he telt more dis-
posed to deprecate.
. .Lord 11411/KESIWItY wasuot aware. that any
thing, which bad fallen from him ott anytOrtner
occasion could be so interpreted, and lie u'as de:in-Lies
to rectify any error or mistake into which he, way
have 'fallen upon this subject. To the .bet of hid
trecolleCtien, what hehad bifore:shitid on this point,
in answer to a question put tci hint,' was this—
that ati official copy of the Treaty, together with a
dispatch frOrti.the Noble Secretary of s:are (Lord
Howick), had been received America antcce...tit
to the separation of Congtess ; that is to say, it was
received by the British Minister at Washington on
the 2d of March, and the Congress, he believed,
separated on the 3d of the sante Month; that butte-
`diattly upon the receipt of it, Mr. r.rskiuc communi-
cated it tO Mr. NLitidison; who cotntessiric tied it to
the President ; that the report tit the friiival of the
Tre,ty had very generally gone abroad, and in eon •

,Aniericant LiovernMent as the, ground of a new

which it was desired to have -further discussion and

tsfi. u :ose to c,.y ve the Resolutions Which, 4n -41
day, lie had read to the: 'i heir ohje&
wits to chew the illegality Of the Oak rs iirCouncil,
their litter repugnance to the Law of Nations," and
the open and flagrant Volation they involved, not
only of the Law of the Land,*hat of the Prin-
ples of the Constitution and the Rights, of the
SoujilA. Itt the course. of a long and. animated
tipeccit, the Noble and Learned' Lard quoted a
variety 01 authorities in support of his Resolo-
tions, and descanted with much ibree; on the
impolicy of these .'measures, , Our commercial.
pro,perity ,s as daily onereaing, it. had ' indeed
reached its climax, and , a -great degree that
prosperity Wa3 owing to the 'trade of Atnelica.--,
From an absurd nyion of retaliation we were
now proceeding to come a war with Atnerica, with-
out a shadow of jUst reason, and thus 'should we
abut up- ilia **id source troin Which our corruntl-
viol wealth rtnd maritime power were known smell

now foie(' on' this Country, and it -remained for us
to pr‘nl.., whether. we were determined to adhere
tb, iaciplos non which the proud character of
this riatitm had so )01 stood, or whether we should
depart from their) to the degradation of that cha-
ncier, And the sacrifice of our bestinterests: The
Noble and L,:arned Lord conelnded with moving a
lining of fiesohilions, expressive of his opinions on

but whieh. did not bear at alt, on, the , nature of
the measure undea- discussion: the other Resolu-
tions referred to the diffcrent:eirOmStrinces upon
which it was supposed." the •Otiders 16 , Council
would operate. Their LordsliipS must be aware,
that by acceding to these Resolutions, they would
recall every 'thing 'they had already done, and
into an incomisteney which could admit of no
planation. He therefOre thought • his duty to'
move .the previous (it-test-ion tip ;n, them.
contetickd, .with Lord Ers.-
kine, that this Orders in were an open and
flAgrant- violation of the of Nations, of the
Municipal Law, of the Law of the Land, &c. and
called upon:Ministcrs to bring a direct i charge against
their preele,essors.for the ordets thiy- bad issued, if

meditated by the late Ali,nisry; were much more
ruinous in their 'cfr,i!:.4, 'and more repugnant in their

auth.rised by his Alaiesty'R pre,ent Government.
Besides this, there was abundant proof-already on the
table, •of the intention of' the French Government
inure rigorously to enloree their decree; and a re-

Sir CHARLES POLE, pursuant to noikie, rose
to submit his Motion'lo the *House, founded upOn
the 14th. Report of the .Com Missioners of Naval Iu
quiry. :The ,itija of the Bid which ' lie had to
propose, was-to'carry into (lea both the spirit and
the letter of the Chafer of. Greenwich Hospital.—
Before he proceeded to make his Motion, he begged
that the Report- of the Curnmk,sioners, who had
been.a;pointed•on a t",;rtner oce,:sion to inquire into
the stale of thin Hospital, shOuld be read. By the
charter of the Hospital, which 'vas granted in the
16th Geo. 11,1. it ~.%•as required that alitthe officers
of the Hospital should he persons. who had served.
his Majesty in the navy,4and had list: limbs ur been
disabled in the st'rOce. ...Chi.: provisions of the
Cwrit.4, It, opp, ineci, had not .. been. complied with ;
but it was nut the objett of his 'Bill to inter-
:fere
.with any:of the existingappointniems or emo-,
luments its sole purpo,d being to in uvide that the
charterishoill 1 in rat ure be compiie t with both in
letter'imd- to spit it. .Aninher part ot hi, 13111 would
.provide tiir a public swing, by requiring per Sons
holding such unices-to give • up their half-Tay, . His
Bill was also- to extend to the Institution of the Na-
val Asylum, which had been established thr the en-
couragement of the naval service ; nodifeter thete
had been a time when they ougist to kfo every thing
consistent with conlonly and he intc.rest of the ser,
vice for thaeobjett, it was the present. These were
the Clauses which he intended to introduce into this
Bill ; and there was also another, to- provide that
the. Bill Should. not ?mend to any persons holding
offices at tins moineia either Pi .the Naval Asylum
or Greenwich Hii;p though it was to provide,
that in future no persons but Such as had served a
certain number at years in the Navy, or been dis-
abled in the service; should hold any onicein either
e:staulisluneut. It -had als.o been his inteinimoo to in-
: trodhce a Clause to pit:Vide that all soots ,;vintiao fur
the use at •:Green %viol) Hospital shouid Gz.! paid Into
the Bank of -EtigLinti 5 bin tas lie.OntleistoodAhat re-
gulations WI-c to Lie adopied which would render
that Clause untivcos;:aiy, he sto.;id not press it. -He
tberefort.... moved to le tve tiriog in a Hi!!
.14, the
encouragewCut S,..rAce, by
regulating the uppoiDi ti,t• Oa Ct'rg lu the - Naval
•Asylum, and in
Mr. 11,0 SE htnicd, rival iinii.ediately after his npn
pointment to fhe..office:h4. then held, h('' had in-
quired into the facts..s:ated pr.. Report of the

quence of repit,s(:,l:,l:i:)..:. by Lim tQ the Ad-
miralty, prosecutions were. carrying on against
the persons woo lied heen guilty of maKerkition ill
that department. Ent having said this, hu did not
think that the Hon. 114ronet had made out case

tel Ole Rouse to accede ti) his -motion. About,
yi; an ni?r,:iry 1p(1. been.rncle into the
C; ielf Hospital, but
leLij:i;;lti,•. ~.,liietment was iliought necessary.
'Nara weve offices, such 'fiS that of Organist,
Siltveyor, and Archite4, which persons of naval
cchicai....,n would tzar be competent to fill. The Au-
ditorwa4 otlic.:r Whd rtfluired a competent skill
in ihe law. The Noble Lord who, now held that
office had succeeded, Lord
~Thurlow, who; Must be
allowed to have, been skilled in the law. Besides,
the Revenues of the. hoSplial exceeded 160,a001; per
annum, and the Beceixer.would require other'quali=
•ficationS than a na'val education.' sAstothequestion
respeaing the Naval Asylum, he thought that the
Hon. Baronet would do well to wait for the Report
front the CoMinissioners on that. head: He was as
desirous as any person that none but those who had
served in the Navy should be employed in the Of-

qualified; and if, when.the regulations of the Com-
missioners should be produced, the Hon. Baronet
'should not. be satisfied with them, it would be per

Mr. It' BITBREJ/D was 'of 'opinion, that Many.
musical-persons weth disabled in the- Navy, who
ffi
might he competent to the office of organist ; and
observed,: that the Right Hon. Gentleman who had
just sat down, and another Gentletnah, 'a Member
of that Huuse, were. proofs ,-thet• a naval eduCation
did not render per Sons unfit for, such offices as those
be had mentioned. At any ra'te, seafaring -men
might hold sinecure phices as well as any other de-• •
scription of persons, and it appeared that the barber
of. theeliospitaleMr Henry Clew, a Swiss, employ-
ed and derived an incmhe of 1501. per
annum horn his office, Without havingfanyduty to
perthrin, but the superintendence of the shaving of
the Pensioners. He- highly praised••the labours of
the Naval Commissioners, and of the Hon. Baronet
in particular, and he was decidedly of opinion, that
no person should be allowed to hold any office in
either the Naval Asylum, or -Greenwich Hospital,
"who was not a seafaring twin.
- LOCKHART regretted that the Hon. Ba-
ronet had couirectedthe two establishments, which
were so diffin-fmt in their objeds and nature. The
Naval Asylum had been instituted by ptibllc
spirit-
ed'persons, as strongly attached to the naval_service
as 'the Hon. Baronet, who-had subscribed a shm of
e0,00011.-for the establishment. Ike •prope.,al of
thulium Baronet,went to show a distrust that men
having acted under such motives would not make
tiegulations for its management io the same spirit.
Such distrest might excite discoOtent in the navy,
and a hike warmness in those who•had originated
and promoted the institution. The. Cominissintsera
were composed of seventeeu Gehtlemeu of 'the ni•
Vy, ate! eleven who had not_ been of that profession.
The latter could udt die late any thing inimical 'to
the ineerests of the navy, and• he therefoie ttiought
that those who had framed the institution in favour
of the, navy, shoold not
,he deprived of their infiu-
eneeuPnit it by •the Inot ion of :the Hon. Baronet.
PONSUABY observed, that the aro-
mentseMployed applied only to that part of the Mo-
tion'Which concerned the Naval Asylum, and not
against that which applied to the eatryince into effe#
the Charter rof 'Greenwich Hospital. That Chatter
had, it appeared, been departed from, and-therefore
there was a necessity for the iotefferepee of ;Parlia-
ment... He suggested, therefore, to the Hon. Ba-
ronet, whether he ought out to separate the Objects
of his Bill, and move, • in' thefirstinstance, tier
to regulate,Greenwich Hospital ; and afterwards, ,
it should-be necessary, bring forward, a Mot tut) ler a
Bill to regulate the Naval Asylumi.
Sir CHARLES - POLE acceded to the sugges- ••1
tion of the Holt. Gentlenian, - and eentioed his Mo.,
tion to the first objeete • •
PERCEVAL Kaid, that as the question bad
been narrowed; he 'should then only say, withye,
spet'd to the Naval Asylum, that it would .be
tent. to the Hon, , Baronet to more pn Address tit
his Majesty for the Regulations of the Commis,
sioneis, and to make them the subje& of any further
proceeding he might think ;necessary. But as•to the
remelt-I;6g part of his Motion, °he did not. think. the
House could agree to it without- having the Charter
Of the Hospital before it. It was as much the duty
of the Trustees, under the-Charter, to corre& any
abuses that might exist, as it would if an Att at Par-
liament were to pass for the porpoie. But the
g n upstio was, whether it would be desirable, if
only a single candidAe, who had'heen eonneetod with
tke navy, should Offer for an office, who might not
be ns \cell qualified as other candidates, that any
peremptory order, for hiS • eppeintineot should be
euzicted. He contended that there was nu necessity
for ::it Att Of Parliament. The Hon. Baronet
had'heen, whilst in the offiee of .a Lord of the
Admiralty, in a hij oation. to correet these abuses,
and if he had not dame • So, it was not matter of
blame to him, as lie
.had followed the course, her
sued by his predecessors, and if any mischief had
arisen, it twist. have .been, only front inadVerteney
on his part. The House he. %%la sure would not
accede toF the 'Motion, Until it should have th'o
ter of the Hospital before it.
Sir JOHN _NEWPORT contended, that -every
statement of the nigh tH oneurable Gentleman shelv-
ed the necessity of the As abuses' existed, it
was highly necessary. that an Act of PailiaMent
should be.made to correct them. • And many of the
Trustees would be glad to be proteMed. against the
appliCations of their triends by the provisions . of an
Aet of Parliament. The Honourable Baronet ap•
peered to hint to deserve the thanks of the Houseand
of the Country for, his accurate attention lo the in-
,,f a profession to which lie was an ornatneut
and ;I the enhtness of navel mcii for the Offices.
in the Hospital, he ocver could, 'forget. that the late
Ijord !Jaucellor had,been in that profession.

Air. K. MONTACi Li I stated; front his local and
rin..on.ll‘ knowledge of an estate 'belonging to the

ed with the .'.ip..:a.tinstances .and nature: of the pro.-

Mr. l'ot,E, CARIAV contended, that either thera
were ittlies-,in;tbe Charter, requiring'persons holding
utfh:c..s.to be seafaring men, or there were not ; anit
thin in either. chle, it would be necessary for the.:
Hopse to interfere,' to allow person's. to be ap-
pointed, or to prevent persons not qualifwd from be-
itlig appointed.
Sir•JouN ORDZ awl Mr. Lint,: said a fk:w words,

but in so low a tone, that we colld not 0.,11e.1
sentiments.

Sir P. BURDETT was extremely surpt iced •at
the 'opposition.given to Allis Bill, Which wits to t?--
medy gross abuses acknowledged to he exiiting.
that 'had been said applied solely tope Bill, the
ceptionable..parts of which, if any, might be to t
ofit.' Thetprincipal obje& tie had in rising, ails to
thank the Hon. Baronet for the Course he'was pur-
suing in spite of all obstacles. He could not sup-
'pose, that the House could obje& to the introduelion
of the Bill, because. no negative had been given to
the statement of the 'Hon. Baronet. From what he
saw, he never had. been more astonished, than at the
frivolous objeCtiOns which had been made to theyno-
tion. The Obje& of the Bill was to infliCta penalty
on those who should violate the provisims of the
Charter; and he 'did hope, that the House would
never come to an)t determination that, would pre-
clude the Hon.' Baronet from bringing forward his.
Bill. •

MUTINY 00.1-
On the Motion of the SEClterAlir AT WAR the
House went into a Committee on the Mutiny Bill.
Lord CASTLERE4GH would explain shortly
the raisons on which he was induced to recommend
the proposition he intended to submit to the Housed
All. the reasonings and statements conneeled.with the
Army were so familiar to the House, that he would
have heldhimself bound, in regard to the time attics
llotere, to offer his moticm without nny prefaCe, if
the Right Hon. Gentleman
.oppoSite (Mr. Wind-
ham) had not, very causelessly in hiS opinion, taken •
alarm, as if this motion contained in it a principle
ruinous to the Military System introduced by that
Right Hon. Gentleman a short time since. To
maily.parts of the Right lion. Gentleman's System
he had uo objeetion 3 the inducements held forth to •
certairr desCriptions of rltrn, by the liberty to engage
for liMited service and by the creation of additional
pensions, he highly approved of. But what he com- ,
plained of Was, that the Right Hon. Gentleman con-
sidered his measure As prescriptive, to be preserved
without addition or alteration, contrary to what had
ever happened with. respect to any other measure.
He had no objeetion to limited service, and he had
formerly promoted, to a certain extent, engagements ,
bthited in space as well as in time.- But why shou!d
limited serviee be in a manner enforced, to the total
eXclusion of unlimited service, even when.the
were perfettly satisfied, and desirous. to enter wide-
odisc4itation. On former` occasions the men for
linriteil service were kept in separate battalions. • ,
The Right Hon. Gputletnan mixed them, It was .
it& intended to interfere with this, any more thau
*ith any other kart of the Right Honourable Geu-
tletnan's arrangement. .The Right Honourable;.
.Gent.leman complained mud) of the change about
to be introduced in the excitiive form of his mear
sure ;'but no measure, no military system, cotildrea-
sonibly.elaiin an exclusive and unalterable sanainti.

charged from all respousibilliy. for thismeasure, after
the alterittitjus . proposed ~to neintrodeced. All re,
sponsibility in
,matters of this kind, belonged proi..
perly, it not exclusively, to those who; were hound
to supply. every thing that.was deficient, to corrtt,
every thing.that ivas vicious in the existing system.
The House would form: its judgment without any
of that alarm which the Right
,Hon. Gentleman felt,
in -.his opinien,:Twithont, any ground.' The Right •
Hon. Gentleman bta no right to complain of tbL4
Hs 'premature intertetence with his meaSure. Titi"

ly and abruptly introduced to :the abrogation of the
