O:ELLESLEY,

Mr. SHER. his Motion for discharg-
ing the order of yesterday, for pr,inting the Charge
against Marquis- -Wellesley. He pretitced it by
keveral observations„pn the:- conduel of the Hon.
Gentleman who had brought forWard,that charge.—
',On his Motion, Volumes of evidence bud been laid
on the Table, lint he passed them by, and fixed on an
article •of charge to illustrate which there was- not a
single document. He (Mr. S.) did not make his pre-
sent Motion because he thOught that pending an accu-
sation no part of the proceedingsshould be made•ptil›.
lic • for on this subject he completely.differed from
a f,earned'Gentleman (Serjeant BesT).„who hattob-
tained leave to bring in a Bill, which he shpuld cer-
thinly oppose in every stage. His motive was to pre-
Vent the, interval of nve•or Six, months, which he was
told by an Hon. Gentleman near him, was likely to
intervene between the present time and the produc-
tion of the Papers moved for last night in support of
the charge by the Hon. Gentleman who bid 'pre-
ferred it. •He requested his Hon.'. Friend would say
whether-or not this was the case

The Order of yesterday for printing, the Charge
,against Marquis Wellesley, having been entered as
read,
Mr. SiIRIDAN Moved, thk'. the said Order be
diseharged: • .
Mr. HILEYADNNGTON lloulA answer the
. .
,question of his Right Hon. Friend to .the best, of his
j tidgthen t. He had examined the list' of Papers
moved for by the Hon. Gentle Man .(Mr. PaUll), and
from his past experience thought it would require
two'or three months to prepare and produce, them.
Mr. .PAULL made a few, observations in justification
of his own conduct. He stated, that it Was on the
suggestion Of the Chair, he had moved to have his
cliakp taken into consideration and printed, and
conTlained that many of the Papers he had moved
for were not TA produced 'to the House',

course he had adopted from a Suggestion. from. the
Chair, feeling it necessary to stand right with the
House,' declared that he had but pointed out the
manner in which the Hon,,Member could best ac-
commodate his proceedings to the precedent of Mr.
1 Hastilios's case, which be professed to have in' view.
,Mr.W.III. SMITH did not mean to.oppose the
Motion of his Right Hoe, Frieed, He had risen.
only to express. his opinion, that the Hon: Geetlee
man, as a Member of that House, was entitled to
~
1 very different treatment from what he had teeeived.
lie could not 'reit think that the Hon. Gentlemari
had atled in a rash and impolitic manner if be. had
engaged in the prosecution unassisted. He would.
be justly exposed to very severe censure indeed if
he tailed to make good his charge. But the Hone

calumny,. until such failure should appear on tilt

HIS MAJESTY'S DECLARATION, in THE SUN Of
this day, respe&ing the condua of Prussia towards
the Eleetorate of Hanover, and the very able man-
ner in which the sUbjeCt is treated" in the Speeches
of Lord GRENVILLE and Mr. Fox,last night, render
the whole so clear, that it would be an insult to the
patriotic feelings, as well as 'to the common sense of
our readerS; to dilate upon it in this place. It is
with much satistiiCtion that we found a cordial Una-
nimity' in
_both -Houses, last night, respe&ing. the
Address to His niJESTY on this important subjeCt.
We cannot conclude without again 'expressing our

hearty appfobatiou of the.prQuiptitude, decision; spi-
iiit; aud-digpity -which have -ellaraaerized all the

measures of Administration on an occasion so inte-

resting to .the general rights of every independent
State, as well as to those of our excellent Sovereign

it'd this Country.

No further intelligence has been received respea-
.,
itig the French Squadron supposed to have reached
the West Indies, but some doubts are'entertaitied
of
the accuracy. of the •account NN Mar was yesterday
.
revzived at LLoves. There certainly is some mis-
file ,or confusion in thedates. It states, that- the
.Ves'sels which brought the infotmation sailed from
Jamaica- on the 24th February, and that on the 24th
they fell in with the Veteran, off Navaza, which lies
about midway betNVeen Jamaica and St. Domingo'.
As there were but 28 days in February, we presume
it must mean the Ist of .March, because it is almost
iMPossible that these'Vesseiscould- be from the 24th
Of February to the 2bth Atarch going from Jamaica.
•to Navaza. Another difficulty which has been start-
&l is, that it is improbable that the Gradeuse,which
is stated to have been chaced off La Guyara (which
is on the Spanish Main), by the French Squadron,
should have falien
,in with the Veteran so far
to the Northward ag, Navaza.: Jut it seems na-'
.if the Gracieuse-'had fallen in ,with the
Ft'ach-Squadron,• that she should have 'Sailed im-
mediately for Jamaica;, for the purpose, Ofeornniu-
nk!atingthcinforrnation and in that case she might
lia,e fallen in jtith the VetiTan o Navaza. N**Ve
