pression made an assault). Toe '&l:image:were

Mr. Lowten, the Solicitor, stated, That he hod
received that sum from Sir A. Paget, and had paid
it into the heeds of Lord Borringdain. •
Mary Stockwell, stated. that she had lived at the
Crown Inn, Lyndhurst ; that on the ued May last)
a Gentleman and Lady came there in' a cheise and
four. It was on a Sunday, at" four o'clock in the afe
ternoon. The Lady ordered a lied-chamber, and
another roam as a dressing-room, The Lady went
to look at the bed; and afterwards called up the Gen-
tlernan to look et the curtains. There ‘‘ its no bed
in the dressing-room. From what she observed of
the bed the next day, she could tide doubt but that
two persons had lain in it. They remained there till
Wednesday the 251 h, and, slept every night in the
seine bed. On the Wedueaday three other persona
came to thelnn, one of whom she since underetood
'to be a. Mr. Simmouds. On the t ea/ of July tole
lowing she saw the seine Lady and Gentleman at

cally. were a child to be born of Lady Borringdon

the,. SPEAKER thou addieSeed General Ferguson
nearly . iii. the following words Major-General
Vergeson, amidst the 'many valuable privileges en•
jnyed under our tree. Constitution, it is one of the
eeest gratifying, that those who have served their
• country in the field, and who have nobly asserted its
henber end`maintained its rights, may return to aid
• with:their wisdom its Councils and its Senate. at*
House beholds:with_pride and. satisfaaion those, gal
Jan t Officers who belong toil accompanying the armies
.of the State, and agehi relenting t.oit, with increased
rfpnlatti,n and glory. Whenever our fleets and ar-
fin6 go forth,'we 'look with an anxious hope t:or
victorious re'stilt of their exertions ; with a confident
espeetatiowthat our military leaders will combine
with the improvements of modern warfare, the coo-
.° 6ge' of ancient. This, hope-and this expectation
yttu lkive completely gratified by your intrepidity :it
Iloleia,` and by the, signal display of your judgment
• and valoint at Vimiera. ylliese exploits have °h-
elloed for you the approbation -ef this House, who
heve received them as a proof of the further services
which the country may exped at your hands. In
the name, therefore, and •by the command.of the
United Parliament of Great Britain and Ireland, I
„ hereby thank you for your noble gallantry and good
conduit on those occasons."
• General FERGUSON, in reply, expressed the strong
eense•which he entertained of the distinguished ha-
- no& which had been conferred upon him ; having
everconsidered the approbation of his country as the
highest reward a soldier could receive. He was well
aware, however, that ,for,this honour he was in-
' debted, not in own merits, but to his singular
good •fortutie, in having had such excellent Officers,
and such brave men under his command, and in
having been himself under a General whose talents
inspired every 'one near him with energy and con-
fidence.
On thelVlotion .of Lord CASTLEREAGH, the Ad-
dress of the Speaker to General Ferguson, was or-
dered to be entered on the Joutnals.
• IRELAND. •
• Sir ARTHUR WELLBSLEY rose, in pursuance of
the notice lie bad giveil, to Move for leave to 'bring
in a Bill to permit the 'Archbishops and Bishops of
Ireland to frank, and receive letters free, within
Their ciwn dioceses. He said that by the A6t of.
Union the Peers of that part of the United Kingdom,
with the exception of those who represented the
Peerage in Parliament, were deprived of the power
r,t. franking. The want of this privilege had been
`Mt as a considerable inconvenience by the Archbi-
Ibrips and isliops, in consequence of the correspon-
' deuce which they were necessarily obliged to carry
lei in the dioceses: Bin some recent Ads of the
•Legislatthe having passed, which necessarily tended
very much to nierease that correspondence, he fait
it to be his duty to propose this measore, the advantage
Tio,vihitth would: nut only be felt by the
by the Clergy, of Ireland. He proposed that this
-privilege should not exct'ed
,that given to Members
of Parliament, and that it should 'be confined to Let-
•ters dated from and addressed to the See Hoese of
the Bis'hop, It was his intently also to introduce
ieto this 841 a clause to•permit the Secretary to The
Commander of the Forces to frank _letters. He con-
cluled with ruovidg tor leave to bring in the Bill,
,whieh.wae granted,-and,Sir A.Weeeeseer and Mr.
fosTita were ordered_ to prepare and bring it in.
• TRISH ,MILITIA.

Sir 'ARTHUR: 1,14.51. EY then rose to move for
'leave •to bring in a Hill to consi,lidate and, amend the
Acts relative to- the Militia Of Ireland: The first
• law respe6ting the Militia pf Ireland, passed in
1703 i 'when the M7litia was established ; since that
period a number of Acts of Parliament had' passed
kipon the same subject ; the consequence of which
that in. many instances those who had to obey
the law, and thow who had 'to carry it into execu-
tion, bound great difficulty in comprehending all the,
vai ions regulations in these Acts. It keas therefore
his intention to briog tho provisions into one Act,.
so. as to mike them clebr and intelligible; and also
to propose notn.e Amentitnents. He should propose
o havethe liiil pt inted, and to let it stand over for
a month, in order that the Gentlemen of 'lreland
m'ght have an opportunity of considering its pro Vi-,
sit ns.. Leave was given to bring in the Bill.
On the. Motional Lord TEMPLE, an humble Ad;
dens, was ordered to be presented
,to his Majesty;
Faxing. that he AvOulii be graciously pleased to
•Ciitifto 10 be laid before the' House the following

CHIEF SECRETARYSI-Vis FDA
_s ,
Mr. WHITBREAD rose to make his pronrsee pro-
positiuli; which was of a tiailire;in his opinion, un-
objenionable; It was' a Singatar eirmanstanee that
the thief Secretary for It elands and the Uoder,Se, .
cretary of State, for the War Department, had both
been engaged in A: way highly 'creditable 'to them.;
selves, and in which they had distinguished them-
selves in the most honourable manner, but which
was certainly totally unconueded, and incompatible
With the discharge of their civil fonEtiona.
IJn-
c:oubtedly the country could not be better satisfied
with any appointment than it was with the selection
of those two gallant Officers for the services entrust-
ed to them, but it was most extraordinary that et a.
time when the war department of Government
must necessarily require great exertion to felfil the
duties attached to it, the Under Secretary of State.
for that department should he removed from his
situation ; and that' the Chief Secretary for Ireland,
on whom sp important a responsibility rested, should
also he removed from his situation. The answer
that had been' given by the Noble Lord opposite to
the question which he had on a former occasion
thought it his duty to put -respeding his gallant re-
WAS completely satista;aery, ThAt Noble.
Lord had, stated,. from the time, when the Under
Secretary of State quitted the country, his emolu-
ments had ceased. He had therefore nothing more
to say on that subjed. And here he begged leave
to state, that in making his present motion,. he had
not the most remote intention of attacking the
gallant Baronet opposite, for whom, on the coo
trary, he had the highest resped ; that that Hon.
'Baronet possessed all the, brilliant qualities which
could distinguish and adorn a soldier; was the belief
and the glory of every man in that HoUse and the
country,; every man :also believed. that be possessed
the necessary requisites fur on able .discharge Of
his duty, as Chief Secretary for Ireland. For him-
Self, he confesSed that he could itot help last Session
admiring the assiduity witirwhich the Hon. Baronet
persevered to the last in the lalfilment of his civil
duties, at a-moment when his nnud must have been
Very much occupied by the anticipation of that cam-
paign, in which he was about -to bear so distin;.
guished a 'part. But it was evident, that however'
qualified the Hort. Baronet mi4in be, either for his
civil or for his military situation, it was impossible,
When he was gloriously fighting the battles of his
country in Portugal, that he :should be fulfilling the
duties of his Secretaryship in Ireland. The things
were incompatible, and he was sure t he gallant Bart.
was of too noble ei &position, and was AOO much
alive to true glory to w i slat° set any improper example.
die was very willing to allow, that the emoluments of
the Chief Secretaryship, or indeedof any other adive
situation in the Government, were not more than
commensurate to the ex penees necessarily incorrect ;
but h maintained, that if no duty was exercised,
the POlic ought Out to be charged with any expoilee.
The Hon. Bart. bad stated,•thathe had left it to his
Majesty's Government, to appoint a yiceessor, if one
should be thought necessary ; now, when the let-
tore rif rite situation was consideradjt must appear
that it wee not only necessary but indispensable that.
it should not remain unoccupied. -It, was surpris-
ing, that wiam the-Hon. Baronet was appointed to a
foreign
,military comMand, he did not immediately
resign his civil situation, and require she appoint-
mem of a successor. Perhaps be,did se. When he
set sail, the operation of his services could not have'
appeared very limited, and it was most likely,
that on his return, lie expected to find another in
possessinn of hi:; place. . Had this been the case,
ungtwstionatily the Hon. Baronet Would not have
received the emoluments accruing during his ab-
st-mos. The Hon. Baronet had stated, that the
expellees of the,Secretaryship were great, and that
for some time his Staff appointments, had not. been
paid. • This latter circumstance was highly im-
proper ; they ought,,to hove heen raid : but sorely
they were not Withheld on the ground of the ifon
Baronet's retaining his situation as We( Secretary ?
It bad been stated by the Hon. Baionet that he had
not become richer by
.his civtl appointment. That
he believed, Few ever did hecorne tidier in similar
situations. For his, part, he thd not know, of any
hut those situations were net accepted for the sake of
riches, but for the gratification of honourable am-
bition in the laudable exercise hi' political, power.
'lie should not have troubled the Howse at 'such
length, hat] he no! been so pti•onotorily slopped the
6.1 ;er evening when he saas to make a few
.observationa en the subjekt. He cunctuded by mov-
ing the tellowtog lielasolutions : .
." That the Office of Chict iccretary Thr Ireland is an tr-
fetti v e office of the highest rtspoinubilit y, winch cannot be

dude) thereof."
Sir A. Wat.LEst.Y.v said, he was very sorry that,
by the rules of the'House, 'the Hon. Membet,was

prevented on a former evening from stating his opi-
nion 'to the House upon this Sutsje6i. lietnte he pro-
ceeded to coMment upon what had had now fallen
front' the HOtt Gentleman, he begged to state, that
:What be (Sir A. Wellesley) .had .said upon a for-
met occasion had been tuitamderstood and misrepre-
sented, and that misrepresentation had been argued
upon. With tespea to the point in question, he begged
to repeat what he.had raid when this subject was ad.-
verted tobefore, that when he was appointed to,tlie
office which he now had the honour to held, it was

clearly understood by the Noble Duke at the liead of

the Government in Ireland, awl by his Majesty's
I,,Ministeri in this Country, that
_that appointment
has not to preclude him from military employ-
ment. Under these circumstances, and under
this understanding, he had gone in a military COM-.
;nand to :Zealand and to ,Portooz, and upon his
return from theF;e,Expeditipns; ecting that a mites.
sor had not been appinted to him in his official si-
minion, he had resumed the duties of his onice. But
dpoti both those occasions, when he was setting our,
he bad clistinCily and; expressly, relinquished all
claim to Ills office, and he should niTghiitil absence,
le.li tlfe
.
slightest ground to complain,if, i
Ministers had appointed another person to succeed

him. He had retained- his office in compliance with
the wishes of the Noble Duke at the head. of the •
GoYernment of Ireland; who lad",' fie the keliksi
manner, expressed a desire te.avail himself of his
services, and he certainly felt himself obliged to the
Noble Duke for the kindness and partiality which
he manifested towards .him. The motion of the
Hon. Gentleman .appeared to him to go merely to
the establishment of --this ,abstrett-proposition,
that there :should be an efficient Government
in Ireland ; a proposition which no one would
think of disputing, but. he .should submit to the
consideration of the House, whether,' before they
voted this abstraa proposition, it would not be ne-
eessary for the Hon. Gentleman to prove that during
his absence from Ireland there?had .not been an ef-
ficient Government in that Kingdom. • Upon this
subject he could confidently appeal to the Gentle-
men of Ireland, and would ask them whether, dur-
ing his. absence, there had not been an efficient Go-
Vernment in Ireland?- Whether there bad been even
a delay of twenty-four hours in any public business ?-
Te Hon. Gentleman ought to have ascertained that
there had- not been an efficient Government in Ire-
land betbre he called upon the House to vote this
abstract-proposition, which certainly implied a co-
sure but let the result, of this motion be what it
would, such a discussion
should never take place
with reference to him again ; for if ever he took a
command again, • he would take care to have his
successor iisstnediately appointed. With respect
to; what had been said respecting his salary,
he begged to state to the' House, that the sae
' laryattached to the office of, Chief Secretary for
Ireiand was very considerable; it was equal, •or
nearly equal, to'that oldie Secretary of State. NOw
as the office was certainly inferior, it appeared to .;
iihn obvious that so Wee . a salary :Was given for
`some reason beside the duty; it was give!) for the
.purpose of enabling the person. holding the'Office to
maintain a respectable situation ih that country.—
When he was going to take the command in Porta-
"gal, the Duke of Richmond pressed him to retain
his office, at the same time stating, that if ah-
lsence exceeded a certain period a successor would be
appointed. Under this .state of uncertainty, ,there-
fore, he could not put deep the establishment he had
formed, because he was not certain whether he
should retain his office or cot. The Honourable
Gentleman had said, that if
.another Secretary
had beech appointed he (Sir Arthur Wellesley)
would have ceased to receive his salary from
the date of that appointment. Undoubtedly he
should ; but if a successor had been appointed;
he should also have been relieved from tiie expence
attached to
.his office. If he bad not conceived that
he had a full right to this sahity, he should certainly
net have received it; but having received it, he
would not return it ie order to evade the discussion
of the question. In' the commencement of his
Speech be had ',stated that he had been misunder-
stood and misrepresented ; •t he misrepresentation to
which he referred was this, that he had been des-
.cribed as -saying, that his emoluments as a General
Officer were inadequate. to the expence : he had said
no such thing, nor made any reference to the ex-
pence of his military situation. Having Made these
few observation, he should not intrude any longer
upon ate indulgence of the House. sir ie. wsues...,
ley then withdrew. ,
The CHANCELLOR of the ji4CH RACER confirmed'.
all the stateMents of the Honoeratile Baronet with
resped to the understanding which prevailed on his
acceptance of a civil situation, that he should not
thereby be precluded fro.'n assuming a military com-
mand,; and also with respect to the wish e/wressedby
his Majesty's Obverument, •of consulting the ad-
vantage•and interest of the cepritry, by contieeing,
if possible, the ,Honourable Baronet it a situation
In which he had conducted' himself with so inpch
ability. Had the public service sustained arty incon-
venience, there Might have been something like
a ground; for the Hon. Gentleman's propsisitiou ; but
as the contrary had been the case, he shouldeertain-
tnove the previous question. ' .
/Lord H. PETTY did not think the statemi'nt
either.of the Hon. Baronet or the Right Hon, gee-.
tleman gatisfattory. His, Hon, ;1' end's complaint
was, that the Hon.. Baronet tying usefully dmployed
in one service, no provision was made tor the fUlfil-
ment of another, from \Nhich he was necessarily ab-
sent. 'The Right Honourable Gentleman thought
the. Reaelinion unnecessary, because no mischief or
inconvenience had %thistly resulted from the trans-
aetion. .Did that deprive the Huuse of the right of
recording Its diapprubatiou of it ?, Suppose the gar-
rison of . Gibrsitar were withdrawn for a certain tie
-
tied, and during that period, that. important place,
was intrusted to,the care of a company of invalids,
would Parhatnent be precluded from declaring its
disapprobation of such a measure, because the ene7.
my might out happen to avail himself of the inter-
val, to otonin possession of the fortress ? But the cir-
. ctimstance certaihly had been attended with ineed-
Venience, and more
,particularly as the Under Se-
cretary bad unfortunately died while the Chief Se-
cretary. was absent. ' The
.argurbents to prove that
.no inconvenience had. heir sustained, would al-
ways' prove that clic Office,ef Chief .Secretary was
an useless burden to the Country, and ought to
he abolished. For his mini part, he was very wil-
ling tea accept the pled& which had been given by
the Hoe. Bayonet, that the circumstance 'should not
recur in his person.
Lord CASTLEREAGH contended that the }-lon.
Gentleman acid Noble Lord opposite) argued as if
this was a novel case, and as if no efficient public
servant, could be called on also to undertake an effi- '
'dent service of a. nature different from that in which
he was orikleally engaged, even for a limited period,
the duration of which was to be determined by the
public advantage. s'• The situation of the Hon. Ba-
ronet,
And that of his Hon. relation', were totally dis-
tin& and dittereut. His Hon. relation had no offi-
dal establishment to keep up ; he was at no ex-
peoce ; the Hon. Baronet, on the contrary had a
large official establishment to maintain, and was at
considerable expence. With respett to the policy of
retaining the Hob. Baronet, in his civil situation, hey
had felt it his bounden duty strongly to urge that the
Secretaryship 'Should not, be filled until his return
from Portugal ; convinced as he was of, the advan-
tage which the Government of Ireland must expe,
rience from his general ability, and partiCularly in the
pre4ent state of that country, from his great military
ROOM/ledge.. That a person in office should Ihr a
time hold two situations was by no mean unprece-
of whose integrity and
dented. Lord Cornwallis,

think this bad been done in the present hlstance,_ he
should certainly support the previous questioh.
Mr. WHITBREAD made a short reply. The only
'point in which he'coutd agree with the Noble Lord
and the Right Hon. Gentleman ;opposite was, t'
their estimate of the Honourable Baronet's ability ei-
ther in a civil or in a military chara&er. He com-
pletely differed from them in thinking the two cha-
ratlers compatible. That the HOriourable Baronet
did not resign his civil situation when he went to
Zealand was improper ;. that he did not resign it
.when be went to Portugal, was worse ; for WWII
he went to Zealand, it was to be expeEted that the
job would be done, and the throats' cut in a short
time; but when. lie went to Portugal,. a protraCted
contest was necessarily to be looked for. After what
had been said, it. was evident that the blame of this
transaction reSted.ori his Majesty's Ministers and on
the Government of Ireland. It had been declared,
that had any, inconvenience resulted froM the eh-
sence of a-14 Hon. Baronet,,a successor would mune-
dOely have been appointed. Why, when an incon-
venience was .sustained, that would have been la'
late. Lind Cinnwallis was a highly popular charge*
ter dining his.life, and his memory would ever °
held 'dear by his country; but that did not render the
circumstance alluded to by the Noble Lord less im.
proper—it only spewed the evil of allowing the er-
ror of a great popular character to pass sub sileritio
without: correction. He 'was satisfied, however,
with the declaration made by the Hon. Baronet ha
the subjea. All that he wanted was to prevent the
present case from being established as a precedent'
and, he believed that a similar transattion v,rould h°t
be attempted again for some years by any Ministr).-
. The previous question MIS then put and agreed to.
Lord H. PETTY Wished to ask the Noble. Lord
opposite when it was probable" that the Papers re-
specting the Convention in Portugal would be laid
on the table of the House ?

Lord • CASTLEREAGH replied, that every means
would be used 'to expedite their • produ&ion, sat
that .he believed iu a few days they would be ready to
be presented. .r 1
Lord H. PETTY; as these Papers had not yettbad°

on Mr-. Jetfery's eligibility,

issued for Poole,. vacant by. the appointment at Mt-,
Jetiery to be the British Consul iu Portugal.
Mr. BANKS said, that as .thii Was a subjeet inti-
tn2tely connected with the Third Report pf the
Finance Committee, of course it, had received his
particular attention. There was one suggestion in
that Report, which,' if attended to, would prontole
economy in .44 tespett It Was singular, whe!, the
large list of 'persons who had retired frum diplornv•
tie situations was considered, to observe .that the 10
five instances of appointments were appotbtmentso
not from that list, Lift of persons heretofore not in a
similar capacity. There-were forty or tiny roil"-
ers upon that list, the expence of. whom to the coun-
try amounted to•the annual snm of beiween..6o aaa
600001; So 'lately HS Saturday last, the
contained two new appointments of the desCriptioa
to which he had alluded. He was far from won:
ing to cast any slur on the Hon. Persqos so OW':
ed (Mr. Villiers and .Lord.Amkerst) ; • but it sca'
certainly strange, that from the list of rensiaers
no person could be found equally capable of 611'115
such situations with advantage to the country•
Mr. CANNING commented on the Right 1-11;1,..1.
