PAt.hiltit 1210iictl, that 114: HOLM: Sh01)11,1 re-
solve itseit into a Committee to consider of the Pe-
tition of 1 Ir. Paltncr tor further corppeus.itioti 'for
the suggestion of the conveyance Ot .I.4aiers by
means vt.Nlail Coaches.

The 01-IANCELLOR of the. ExettEQUEtt .gave liis
conSen‘.4o,the 100110ns 4)11 the ground that a Coln-
mittea tatiitt afford the wort satiititaory gloat'.,, ac-
eordin4 to.. the opinion ot the Honourable Moveti.,
tor-Utscusiin4 the nwrits of the cue, He begged
•

however not to,be understood as assenting in' any
degree whatsoever to the principle of opening anew
an arrangement long closed.
The House'llaving gone into the Committee, •
Mr. PALMER expressed his acknowledgments for
the attention sheWn to him in acceding to that form
of discussion which occurred to him. to be most con-
venient to the nature of the subject, and which, was
certainly most convenient personally to him. He
thankOilie Committee to whom the Petition had
been "referred, for the trouble and diligence' they
had bestoWed' in the examination of the case. He
trusted that the House would feel the justice of ac-
ceding to the recommendation; contained in the Re-
port, and h e,av i this hope he forbear troubling the
Committee with: any statement preparatory to the
Resolution he intended, to offer. If, unfortunately,
a different opinion should exist,, when he should
have heard what was to be urged in opposition to
his proposition, he should take an Carly opportunity
of stating what occurred to him in reply. His doing
so would be attended with mall convenience, and
• particularly in abridging the debate. The House
would readily make allowance for his feelings on this
occasion ; but be begged that pu consideration of that
kind .should bias the judgment Of • any man, and that
the House, would do by Mr. Palmer just what it
would think in justice to itself, if it were in the place
of Mr. Palmer. He moved that it was the•opinion
of this Committee that a sum of 1.5001. a year for
life be granted and paid to Mr. Palmer, in addition
to 2i per cent. on the increased revenue of the Post
Office above 240,0001. from April 1803, dedu&ing
therefrom 3,0001. a year, settled by the arrangement
of 17.89.
Mr, LONG reminded the House, that aConituittee
specially appointed had already decided against the
merits of a Petition precisely of the same import as
this. The ground of this Report was, that Mr.. Pa-
lmer had failed in the performance of his agreement.
Mr. Palmer, was bound to execute the duties of the
station to which he was appointed in the Post-office,
and he had failed in that point, and on that failure
be had been removed. 'Mr. Palmer was first sus-
pended for refusing to obey the orders of the Post-
masters-General, for 'endeavouring to throw the
Post•ottice into confusion, `to-create unnecessary ex-
pence,
.and to render the delivery of the letters late.
The hlonourable Gentlenian cited from one of Mr.
Palmer'sletters to his Deputy, some observations on
an extraordinary charge made by one Wilson for the
Weymouth mail-coach, in .which it was allowed
that the charge was infamous, but, yet it was advised
that Lord Walsingham, then Postmaster-General,
should pay it. Atter this, it was strange how the
present Report could recommend Mr. Palmer on the
ground of economy. It was advised, also, that this
Wilson should be brought into conference with Lord
Walsingham, that he might frighten and bambooile
his Lordship. The charge of creating confnsion in
the Ptist-office, the Honourable Gentleman, thought
substantiated by certain arrangements recommended
with respect to the inferior persons in the Comps
trollers' Office department in ,the Post-office. It
was, said in the letter tha't one of the persons instead
of doieg his duty in the situation in which he was
directed to be placed, would employ his time in
quarrelling with his superiors.. The late'delivery of
the letters was also mentioned as a possible con-
sequence of some of the arrangements proposed.
After all this• it would hate been highly im-
prOper that Mr. Palmer should have been con-
tinued in his empleyment in the Post-Office.—
He asserted and argued, that Mr. Palmer 'was not
entitled eithpi to the 16601. a year, nor to the in-
es-eased revenue of the Post Office, without official
Service. ' The impression on his Mind', as well as on
that of Mr. Pitt, was, that Mr. Palmer accepted the
30001. as a full compensation in lieu of all emolu-
ment to which lie was entitled, independent of his
personal service. Lie was ready to allow that Mr.
Palmer's plait had done the public great service, and
OD that ground Mr. Pitt had felt great reluctance in
dismissing him from his office.' Ott that ground,
too, if it were now made a question whether the re-
muneration given was sufficient, he might be cad-'
verse to the entertainment of it. But when the
question was brought forward on the dry principie•
of the execution or non-execution Ot the.agree-
; ;nem between Mr. Palmer and the public, he •must
maintain that the case was against Mr. Palmer.
Mr. Par.mea stated that the Committee appoint-
ed by the House in, 1797, was first instructed to
quire into tile agreement with Mr. Palter, and
at terWards into the causes of his suspension ; but the
Chairman of that Committeenvit hoot anylatille-
tion from, or any conununication with, his fellow
Members, moved tor an order from the House to lay
beture the House, not a Report digested from the
evidence, but the evidence itself. Thus those'docu-
merits, contained expressions, that, it left un-
explained, rendered Mr
,Palmer's continuance in
office wholly incompatible with a proper administra-
tion, were placed before the HBuse without the be-
nefit,of that explanation, and consequently operated
to the grievous injury of Mr. Palmer's cause and cha-
.rader. Mr. Palmer, though he allowed the power
to dismiss bins, never acknowledged the right to
dispense with the agreement, which, he always con-
teoded, entiffed'hitm to emoluments equal to those
of the office- he had been deprived of. It was
strange to allow the claim to go to a Committee, and
then to dispute tht judgment and recotnmendation
of that Committee, upon the claim. He considered
the office as part of the commutation for the'twO
and a haliper cent. for life; to Which Mr. Palmer Was
entitled tdr the increase on the revenue of the Post-
'office, substituted at his suggestion, for a duty on
coals, and estimated at mum)). a year. He. came
now to the expressions coutained in the letters, and
he hoped the explanations lie had to otter would do
away .the injurious impression, which, without' such
eXplanation, they were calculated to make. Lord
Waisingham, though at first adverse to Mr. Palmer's
plan, acknowledged afterwards the high publio ser-
vice it had rendered, and, declared him well deserving
• of the compensation he had received. But when Mr.
Palmer was in Ireland, carrying into effect the ex-
tension of his plan to that cocutry, Lord_Walsing-
. harp made an improvident contract with Wilson for
.the conveyance of the Weymouth Mail. Mr. Palmer
looked upon this as' an improper interference,with
the exclusive controul which he ought to have over
every thing connected with the' execution oChis
Han ; and he wished that this„person should-give
Lord Walsingham a specimen of what he had to
expat from such. interference, and from coming la!
Foutad with such peopl. Mr. Palmer 114

traEted for the conveyance of" the Weymonth Mail .
at 81. a ray. The contraas made before and after - •
be bad the management of them varied from 121.. tO
181. and 211. With respea to the encouragement
to persons not to dO their duty, that arose from
abuses in the office, which Mr. Palmer thought
would be more speedily corre&ed by being brought
to a crisis. The delay in the deliverance of the let-
ters arose from an experiment for the diminution of !
the number of-Clerks. ..,.Mr. Palmer •direeted dwarf •
Clerks to be reduced, unless that should cause a de- [
lay in the delivery ofletters ; 'but by no means to re- 1i t
duce them-if such a delay should arise. Some dis-
putes bud arisen between Mr. •Palmel', who wisbed 1r
to have the execution of his own plan, and the Post
.
masters General, who wished to have the controul : •
of every department under their offices • and this was .4
the causeasithe dissensions which ended in the dis- 1
. missal of 'Mr. Palmer. The Postmasters General
being changed so frequently, insomuch that there
were sevettof them in five years, could not under-
stand
the business, without -consulting the old see-'
vants in the Post-Offices, who were hostile to -the
plan of Mr. Palmer. Could any thing prove more
strongly Mr. Palmer's independence of the Post-
~
, master than this letter ? The- year after his am-
pension the ' expense of the office exceeded by .
1 7 ,0001. the, expense of any year during his ma-
nagentent. All the evidence on this subiea has been
already referred to a Committee of the House of
Commons, who in their Report had • confirmed
every thing. Mr. Palmer bad asserted. As to the
amount of the demand, if it were proved to be just, '
he trusted that that would make no difference in the
decision of the House. The-advantages which the
Country :had derived from Mr. Palnier's ingenuity
and industry were very considerable. He put it to ,' '
his Majesty's Ministers whether, if the Post-Office
were in the same state now as that in which Mr.
Palmer found it, they would not willingly make the ••
same agreement as had been before with him. He
had been recommended to compromise the subjea,
but he had refesed to do this, unwilling to sacrifice
at once the interests of Mr. Painter and the honoUt
of the Country. From their parent, and from their
parent alone, Mr. Palmer's children wished to re-
ceive
tbat to which they considered that he was
justly entitled ; • and they would rather exist on the
remnants of his fortune than receive a pension
where they claimed a right. .
Mr. Rosa Observed, that he bad never witnessed
in that How a claim urged .with more propriety ei
manner than that ,which had been brought forward
by the Honourable Gentlentin, and nothing ban i
strong sense of his public 'duty could induce hitn' to
rise in Opposition to it. He entered into a detailed,
answer to 'the Hon. Gentleman's arguments; in
which he stated that Mr. Painter had been dismissed
because belied in a letter declared, that rather than
lose his 30001. a year, be would allow the wh4llo
office to go into confusion.
Mr. CRoCKER, as a Member of the Committee
to.whoin Mr. Palmer's claims: had been referred,
declared it tobe his fixed opinion, that Mr. Palmer
Was to have had the two and a hail per cent. on the
increased revenue of the. Post-office, .not as a salary, i
but as a rewatd for that extensive elan which he
bad devised, -and in the execution of which be had
risked his health, his fortune, and his eharatter.---
He differed, however, from that pirt of the RepOt
of the Committee which related to the 1500.1. a y.qt,
conceiving that that was e salary for services to be
performed, and that Mr. Palmer having so coo.
dusted himself as to occasion his dismissal from
Office, had forfeited the 15001, a year, but by iio,
rule of common justice could Its in any way be s'il'l
tit have forfeited the per coinages No tslnporaff
indiscretion of Mr. Palmer ought to induce ill
House to deprive hint of the emoluments which he. •
'had received for the advantages for which the coon`
try were indebted to him, and which they were at
that moment enjoying. .The faith of tie country
had been pledged to Mr. Palmer, and the pledg.
ought to be redeemed. He. would
,move as an
ameniment to omit, in the.kivlution propoaed by
the' Honourable Gentlemati,' Oe words that related
to the 15001. a year; but SO rotlyjneed way be of the
ondeniabie. justice -of- Mr. Palmer's claims in (she
-respects, that should the amendment be neetive,A -

the should teel himself bound in. honour to vote '4
the original question. - , •
The CHANceI.LOR of the Excireaustt declare 4
that it rim Resolution .moved were oclupteo, the
Committee would esieblish a most mischievous Pfe:
cedent. He ;Mewed that Mr. Palmer's case nest:4'os
attention, and that if his claim were just, slid
amount or it ought to Warn bar 'to his .success.,"
'When therefore'ho stated•that the sum was not leis
than 97,6901. for arrears, and I O,OOOL a year for 414
.for doing nothing/ he did not make that statement to
withhold the Committee from doing justice, bit ,
to inducelitern not precipitately, or 4roto a suatea

manner in which the Hon. Geatiernan had 'reale°

but basing said this, he was bound in duty to prod

Mr. Palmer ought to have no more titan what he
had already received. If the case stated by the Hatt.

by evidence, then ' indeed Mr. Painter's deniatal

A very gallant attempt was lately made bye party
of men belonging to the Raven Sloop of War. Cap-
tain GRANT, of that Ship, whose loss of the use of
one of his arms by a wound forms no obstacle to his
attempting the most gallant and hazardous enter
priZes, lauded, about three weeks ago, •at the head
of fifty-two men, at Figuera, on the coast of Por-
tugal. They succeeded- in spiking the first battery,
,and would havogot possession of the. town and ship-
ping, which was the obje4
.of the enterprize, had
not their Boats been unfortunately overwhelmed
and stove by the surf, which rendered their firearms
and ammunition useless. In order to save himself
and his men- from being made prisoners, Captain
GRANT, 'with that promptitude of mind so charac-
teristic of a British Officer, compelled a body of POr-
tuguese to launch two of their Boats,. and carry the,
English off to their Ship ; which was accomplished
without the logs of a man,. et- even of 'a. bayonet.
They took off with them the arms belonging to.the
(=finds stationed in the fort. This attempt
dis-
plays so much good coati& as well as gallantry,• that
it must serve' to place 'Captain GuANT's name high
in. the list of naval heroes. . ,
