NAVAL FORCE.

• Lord HOBART expressed his regret, that in
consequepee of the absence 'of his Noble. Friend
the head of the Admiralty, it should fall to his lot
to move' for their Lordships' Thanks to the Noble
Admiral, and the Nay al Officers under his command.
He also regretted this circumstance on the obvious
ground 'of his inadequacy to do that 'degree .of
justice.oirsuch an occasion that his Noble Friend
was capable of. He trusted however that, in the
present instance, it would. be unnecessary to trouble
their Lordships at any length upon the subject :
they were all aware, and had ,received-due impres-
sions of the important and signal services' of our
Naval Force in that.quarter, and the great share
they had in recovering .the Country in qoestion
from our late adversaries. With resped, to this,
his Lordship observed, it would be sufficient to re.
fer to' what that gallant Officer :himself, whose
merits were so lately in the contemplation of the
House, had said, in regard to the assistance he had
derived from the Naval Force in general, in
his operations. After speaking shortly, but for.
cibly, applauding the condua of this part of
the Service, his Lordship moved the' Thanks of the
House to Vice-Admiral the Right :Hon. Lord
KEITH, K. B. Sze. tks.

Lord Plscouat,NELSON rose to express his ap.
probation- of the Motion, which he thought was
well merited by ,the Naval Officers in question.
'On such occasions, he observed, it frequently fell
to the'lot of the Army to fight,. and to that if the
Navy to labour., -He alluded to the important as-
sistance affurded by the Navy in the instance in
question ; and seemed to say, that without Naval
'Co.operation; he thought the contest could not have
been brought to so brilliant or so successful-an issue.
The question, on the several Motions, put by
the Noble Lord, for thanking the Naval Officers
and Seamen, were then put, and agreed to' by the
House, ner4.

A conversation of some length, then arose, be-
tween the Earl of DAtt•NLEY, Lord PFLHAM, the
LORD CHANCELLOR, and the DUKE OICLAR ENCE,
in consequence of the first mentioned Peer's observ—
ing upon the propriety of its being clearly under-
stood, and generally known, at what hour the Pub-
lic•BusinesS was to commence in that House. He
felt it incumbent upon him to call the attention of
the House to the point, though he had much rather
a proposal for reulation, in that respeft, should
come from his Noble Friend opposite (Lord
PELHAM). For his own part, he observed, the
hour of attendance to be fixed was a .matter of in_
difference to him, but it should be known for the
convenience and even the praelicability of attend-
ance with other Lords. He thought some under-
standing on this point should be come, to, as speedily
as possible.- .

Lord PELHAM agreed with his Noble Friend
in the propriety of having it settled and understood
at what' hour public business was to commence.. At
present it struck I)im that the old and established
hour of four o'clock would be the best they could
fix on. However, as the attendance was then rather
thin,' he thought it would be better to mention the
point in question to-morrow, when a fuller attendance
would naturally be expeded, as a subject of dm-
siderable importance would then be under discussion.
The
,DUKE of CLARENCE expressed himself of
opinion, that a fit hour should be settled for the
commencement of public business, and the regula-
tion of the House in that resped—generally known.
in this view he was glad the Noble, Lord had hinted
the expediency, of renewing the discussion to mor-
row, when the attendance would be fuller. With
respell to the hour, his Royal Highness seemed
inclined to think, that a later hour than four would
be preferaßle ; assigning as his reason the conside-
ration of the judicial business of the House, parti-
cularly the Appeals, - the hearing of which often ran
to a great length.

The LORD CHANCELLOR approved of the
idea' of Noble Lords to fix a regular hour for the
commencement of the legislative business of the
Ht use. %-it was his wish that it should. be duly ex-
pedited as far as was consistent with. the other im-
portant funlions of their Lordships' House. He
observed there were -a great number of Appeals
standing for' the present Session, particularly from
Scotiantt, and he 'suggested the probability of a
number being preferred from Ireland, and some may
be expeaed.from the Courts below in. this Country ;
yet notwitlimoding these appareoCobstades, lie

6tX.C1106.14 03 Lila4-.11% s.riclicta iry •
commence at four o'clock.—At former periods, we
understood. the Noble and Learned Lord to say, even
when the Appellate jurisdiaion with respea to Ire:
land, was vested in that-House, fill that sort of busi-
ness had been transaaed, and well transatted, artd.srill
the Legislative Business of the House regularly com-
menced at four o'clock. He expressed his satisfac-
tion that the-subjea was to be adverted to again -
to-morrow ; and with respea to the propriety of the
future regulation being generally known, he alluded
to the circumstance of the necessary frequent Coin-
munications from the other House of Parliament,
which might otherwise occasionally interfere with
their Lordships' deliberations.

The DUKE of CLARENCE and the 14ORD CHAN.
CELLOR severally spoke in explanation.
• Lord MULGRAYE expressed his wish to know,
with respect to the particular instgnee of to morrow,
at what hour it was proposed the Debate, should
commence. To which, as we could colle6l, one
or two Ministerial Peers answered; fine
and, an Adjournment immediately
.took place.

HOUSE OF COMMONS,

THPRSDAY, 'NOV. 12.

Mr, VANSITTART moved, that there be' laid
before the House zip Account of the Amount of Ex-
chequer Bills, made out by virtue of the Aft of the
lAA Session of Parliament, for raising two Millions
by way of Loan Qn Exchequer Bills, which are now
outstanding and undischarged.

Also; an,Account of those issued by virtue 'of an
Mt of the 39th arid .Loth of the King, for.raising
two Millions on Exchequer Bills, for the Service of
the year IE9O, which are outstanding and undis.
charged.

Also, an Account of those issued by virtue of
the same Aft,' for raising the further sum of three

&c.

-Also, an Account of those issued by virtue of an
Aft of the last Session, for raising six Millions
soo,oool. for Great Britain, for the Service of the
year zBo x, now outstanding, &c.
Ordered. • _ _

VANSITTART brought up an Account of the
List of Public AcCountants, with, resped to whom
process has been controuled, suspended,: or dis-
continued, according to At of Parliament, of the
39th an:. 4alh of His present Majesty.
Ordered to be laid on the. Table.

The 1-ionseagreed to.go into a Committee, of the
whole Home on Yucsday next, ,on the Starch and
Distillery Bill, on the Motion of Mr. VANTIT.,
•
TART.

The House, on the Motion of Mr.VANSITTART3
went int() a Committee of the whole House on the
Fishery Salt Bill, which, after a feW words from
General GASCOYNE, who doubted, and Mr. VAN-
SITTART, who explained its utility, under the pre-
sent circumstances it related to, passed the Com-
mittee ; and, the HouSe having resumed, , the Re-
port was ordered to be received to-morrow.
S;r WM. P. UL' NEI' said, he troubled the
House yesterday with a few words concerning a
great Business, that is, relative to the Trade be-
. maxi Europe and India, and which he had men.'
tioned on the first day of the Session. ,He found, that
what he said yesterday, had nor been faithfully re.
ported to the Public ; manv persons believing from
such geports, that he had given, up: entirely the
idea of bringing that, subjea before Parliament.-.--
-Now, to satisfy the minds of those who were un-
easy on ,aecount of their thinking so, he declared,
that he had not the least intention of giving up that
subjed. On the contrary, he should bring it for-
ward, unless settled to the sati4at-tion of all the.
Parties concerned ; and that in hopes it might he so,
he delayed the matter, which was the substance of
what he said upon it. He did not then mean to
give it up, nor did he mean now to give it up, nor
should he dela}, it long, for that on Tuesday next he
should name a day on which he should propose to
bring the subject forward.

The SPEAKER said, he understood the Hon.
11/ember not to-name a day on which he should
bring the subjeft forward for discussion, but to
mention the time on which he should name-a future
day for that pur.pose.

Sr; IV. PULTENEY said, yes, . certainly, but
that what he was most anxious about was, that it
should be unaeystood he did not mean. to give the.
subjed up at all.

The Order of the Day for taking into considera-
tion the Resolution relative to the interference of
Peers and other persmis in the Election of iVl6nbers
of 'the Commons House of Parliament, was deferred
to Tuesday next, on the Motion of Mr. -13RAGPE ;
who observed that the Resolution had not been
printed long enough to afford Members sufficient
time to consider it.

Mr. BRAGGE brought up the Reports of the
Committees of Supply and
.of Ways and Means,
the Resolutions of which were read and agreed to.

THANKS TO OFFICERS, Z:c.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
he rose in pursuance of the notice •whieb he gave
yesterday, to move the 'l'h:inks of the House to
Lord KEITH, and Sir JOHN HELY HUTCHINSpN,
and the Officers under their command in Egypt.—
That the service performed by the detachments of
His Majesty's Fleet and Army in that quarter of
the Globe had completely satisfied the feelings of
all whose wishes were the most ardent, and whose
hopes were the most sanguine, for the-Honour of
this Country, and the lustre of the British Arms,
was a point not to be doubted. As long as un-
daunted valour, as long as consummate military
skill and perfelion in discipline, as' long as all
those qualities that can dignify and exalt a People
(for they were all displayed in this service) Were
duly estimated, so long will the exertions of His
Majesty's Fleet and Arrriy in that quarter, be the
subjeft of admiration. It was by no means his in-
tention to expatiate 'at large-on the particulars of
the service. • General HUTCHINSON had described
part of it already. But while we leave to History
the care of recording the particulars of that service,

of pul;iic gratitude to those to whom we owed tae
c,lory. That was the objet of the Motion he bed
T
in nis hand. , It was not his intention to confine tie
Thanks to our Army and the Fleet, for it would >e
recolleaed that a, large detachment of anotherArm*,
from another quarter of the World, whose milital
merit made them worthy companions and assistants
to the British, were also the objeas of 'ourresteem
and gratitude. The Contest was now closed—the
sword was now sheathed ; God grant it might Lc
sheathed for-ever ! .But if it shoUld be forced fros
the scabbard,- and we should, from a sense of

pensable duty, be ;gain compelled to wield it, be
was confident that the triumph of
_Egypt, which..
added lustre even to the British name, would sti-.
ululate us to exertion, although the brave persons
who signalized themselveS in that service should, by
the. lapse of fears be last. Even the zeal, the patri;.:
otism by which we have been always animated,
would receive new vigourfrom-the sentiments that
arose from the memory of the atchievements of our.
Arms in Egypt; sentiments which were so engraver'
Oil 9ur breasts, .that time itself could not efface them.
He should, therefore,' now propose. that testimony'
of Public. Gratitude, to which it was his beliefana
expeftation, the House would unanimously assent.
On these grounds he moved, " That the Thanks
of the House be given to Admiral Lord limit,
Knight of the Bath, for the ability and perseverance
with which he comma:ded on his Station on ILe
coast of Egypt, and for the 'effeaual assistzre
rendered by his exertions to. the Army in Oat
Country, in the several important services in whdi

. _ .
they were employed, which were so essentialT
serviceable, &c."

The Question being put,

Mr. JONES said, he could have wished to
have 'seconded this Motion he now could
give it his cordial assent, and furthermore say that
he approved entirely of the expression of the Rigtic
Hon. Gentleman who made this Motion, who had
Said, the COntest is now closed, and that the Sword
was sheathed. He hoped with that Hon. Gentleimn,
it never would he unsheathed again. Ile shonldfor.
bear making observations which, if the War had
continued, he should have been obliged to make, oa
the situation in which our Army was placed in Egypt.
He wished to pay a large tribute of applause.
to-His Majcsty!s Ministers, who, he thought, had
closed this contest under circumstances the most.
arduous. Might he be permitted only to hope, OW'
as the system (for Jo he must call it) of Conciliation
which had manifested itself, with the greatest dig,
niry, at the same time, to' hring about a peace,
(which he .must for conscience sake leave out the
word bloriows in describing) be allowed to exrend
itself in ads of mercy to ourselves,—particularly in
the Repeal of that most grinding of all Taxes, the .
