peritarz /113peritl, to interfere in the deliberative pro-
ceedings of that House, and to answer its -arguments
by fixed 'coyonetal Hetrusted it would be sufficient
thus to. have warned the. House at the existence of
such a Meeting. The Honourable Gentleman con-
cluded by observing, that what :had. transpired in
the course of the present investigation into the con-
duct of'the Duke of 'Yolk, furnished a'new proof,
if•any additional proof ,were wanting, of the neces-
sity of a teinperate reform,: reform which .would
ertenti'dot only to the administration of the army,
bit to .the Government in Church, and:State.
The 4camtaTrat Wit thought himself called
uvon, to say a fete iVords respecting the- meeting
of 'General OffiCers, to which the ,Honourable
Gentleman Lad -alludt,d.: There was, some founda-
tion 'for th 4 statement of the Honourable Gen-
t;i'nuati; 'but it was only this, that there, existed in
tins towna.clob of Military/Gentlemen, of which
lie was an unworthy Member. That Club had .lately
and at the'. meeting some 'conversation had
sti Sri rtspeeling the conduct of the,Duke of York
as Commander in Chief..- That conversation turned
,upon the 'services. rendered. by his Royal. Highness
to the army; and the Members of the.Club_thuoght
themselves bound in gratitude to.testily :to his Royal
•Highness the
_sense they entertained of the
eminent tidvatitages which the army had derived:
from his able administration of the military affairs,.
or;' the Country. These sentiments they-had resolv-
ed to express to his Royal Highness in the.form of
an Address, but their proceedings irr this respeet had
no reference whatsoever to the circumstances of the
present moment, or to what was' now passing in
that House.. • .
Sir.TnouAs TLYRTON thought it necessary that
4ottle amendment should be proposed,' of-the nature
at that he had moved, and he trni.lt therefore persist

in it. • • • •
Mi. CA KNLNG was of opinion, that the authority
of that House should be maintained ; and that it any
meeting of General Officers, such as , that described
by the Hon. Gentleman, had taken place, ircould
not be approved , of ; on the contrary, by adopt-
ing improper means, it could only tend to place the
of :the Duke ,of York in a bad light, and
eounteraa. that which it was no doubt their real. in-..

tention to promote.
G-eneral HIPPS had no knowledge whateverof
any Such meeting as that alluded to.
e Mr. COATS diiliked the distinction which some
Gentlemen '.seerned disposed to draw between the
cliff:tent descriptions of persons who were Members
at that'House. He was one of those who were' de-
scribed as Country Gentlemen: He hoped that the
Country Members would continue to maintain the
,(liaracter, of independence, but in so maintaining, he
was by do means prepated to say that otherdescrip,
tiomk of Gentlemen.in, that Housti were not:equally
independent. _
