Hon. friend, he had been induced to send that can 7
tion to him, which it afterwards appeared It i had
received. In a part of *hat he 141 said, on a recant
evening, he had been prompted Of the streng feeling
excited in•ftim atter the very Serious charges brought
forward by his Honourable Friend, to find that the
idea was ter a moment entertained of allowing one'
of them to stand over until the arrival of the wit-
ness from Jamaica. Iu •his observations on that
subject, he had not only declared how indispen-
sable it was that a question of 'such moment should
be -deterinined without delay, but had also shewti
that -theltesence of Colonel French, as a witness,
was nnriecaiiiiev;Scnce he and Captain Sanden were
completely identified in the same transaction. With
regard to his hailing insinuated that the Hon. Gentle-
nian received his intimnation front tout channels, it
was not easy for him at that moment to answer
the challenge of his Hon, Friend. It was difficult, for
him to'point out the persons from whom he was con.
vi need his Hon. 'Friend had received hiS information,
since he knew that several of "them would make their
appearance at the bar as witnesses. A witness was
yesterday evening exornined; not called to the :Bar
by his Hon. Friend, but he was sure), that wheever
heard the examination of that witness, must be pretty
u all satisfied of the accuracy of his (Mr. S.'s) state-
ment. It was very fair that Mr.Finuerty should be
cleared, as be had been by his Hon: ef being
among a number of his adviser:4; and the more e,pe
cially as Mr. Finnerty had been mistaken for a parti-
cular individual among thoseadviser: lie ptct it to the
House whether it was strange that tic should be sur-
prised and alarMed f
_Or tits kluti.,lFl lend, when he
knew that Mr. M‘Cullem, the author, of a Pamphlet
.•
• directly against the Duke of York, was one .source
of ;him authority. If his Hen. Friend thought. that
he eonlitiely on such men as Mr..M'Cullem. , er
Mr. Cockayne, he acquitted him of any improper
motive, but at the same time lie was sure he zould •
give :him very weighty reasons why he should nut
depend oe such authority. For his own part, he .'.
should proceed to the consideration of this business
without the slighteSt favour or partiality—witi.ocit
the slightest regard to the rank and power at the
litustrions Personage iu question—=and infinenced
solely by'a determittat ion, to contribute "Avert as
lay in his'powei. to further the, ends of ettb4justice.
Sir WeLLestniv, in consequence a thirintrol
duction in this business or the name of a late .wart ity
friend of his (C0101101111Cker) thought it incumbent-,
upon •him.ro ficatC that there was not itythe British
antky an Otticer who was• better entitled to the gra-
tande of his country than Colonel. Tucker. Doting.
his life.his services had been of the most brilliant de«
scriptinti, and ti
ts prettenuredeath had deprived the •
army .of one of. its most valuable,Oilicers.
WnitlMis produced the letters .from Mr.
DrltioVail, to Mrs, Clarke alluded. to ;-.yesterday eklen-
ing„and. wished to know whetherthey should he
given in.
A long and desultory conversation • ensued. on the
subject, in, which Lord Folitstone, Mr. Yorke, the
Allot ney-General, the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
Mr. Rose, Mr. Whithread,igr. Canning, Mr. She-
ridan, ant! Mr. Bathurst, :partielpated, and winch '
terminated in the letters, to the number of live, be
ing given to the Clerk-by. Mr: Wardle. The totlow-
ing questions were then put to Mr. Wardle. by the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, . .
Q. Are the'se the letters Mn.liClarke alluded to,
Mich she said, " I must candidly' teltyou, 'hi order to 11.44.
lit Ate the negomtion, ?"—A. They are.

Q. DO he get them with Mrs; Clarke'S consent, or With-
