Lord SIIEVVIELD preser.ted ‘iiother Petition
to same eifect, from the Inspeceor of Woollen

Cloths, lit the service of the East India. Coal-

piAy.
These documents being read, were severally
ordered to lie on the table.

Lord Viscount ME.LVILLE, after briefly observ-
ing, that what he -.vas about to propose, troida
answer every end in the way of information, with
the account 'moved fur by u .-Noble Earl (Earl
Darnley) on a former evening, without partaking

of its objectionable qualiiy, then tuovcd
the production of an Account of the British
Ships of Wkir on the NOrth AmeriCan .ta-
tion, distinguishing the various descriptions of
force, on the first MondAy of every month, front
April, 1812, to February last, inclusive; which
was ordered accordingly.
The Earl of DARNLEY then moved, as supple-'
mentary to the Account just ordered,. and as ne-
cessary, in .ibis opinion, to the farther ilhistration
of the subject, for an Account of the Weekly Re:-
turns of the state of the said ships, describing cer-

tain particulars. And also, for au. Account of the
numbers of King's ships built and repaired in the
Merchants' yards within a given period, specify.
ini the 'rates and descriptions of such vessels,
nature of the repairs, Bic.
Lord Viscount MELvILLE observed, that part
6f:the N'oble Earl's motion it was impracticable
to comply with, inasmuch as no. Weekly Returns
Were made on the station in request. • The re-
turns were made not regularly but from time to
time, according to eircumstanceS, to the Cont.-
mander-in-Chief • and - he transmitted them. to
the Board •of wander-in-Chief;
as he. could. He was,
however, well inclined to afford the Noble Earl or
the House every information the office-afforded on
the subject. • '
After a few words„ in the way of explanation),
from the Earl' of DARNLEY and the Marquis .of
• L.% NSDOW N R that part of the motion, was (form-
ally) negatived.
• With respect.to the second part,
Lord Viscount M LvILLE observed, it:would re-I

quire much more time ,to obtain the necessary

statements than the interval between this•
(lay and that for which -the Nolte Earl's motion,
on the subject to which the information referred,
stood for (viz. Friday next), and. in t,►t,t
view, it might be eligible to postpone it, to it
future day,
Lord Gagtivfia.ti, in that point of vieir, sug-
gested the propriety of postponing the discttss►uu
to future day..
The Earl- of DARNLEY said, that for his own
part, his %visit was tluit the discussion should come,
on us, early as it consistently could.' However,
if it were deemed more convenient by Noble Lords
to postpone, he had no objection the order for
Summoning the House out his iitotion► for Friday
next should he discharged, with an understanding
that he Should bring forward the subject of tvt►ich
he had given notice, on an early day after the
holidays. The order was accordingly, on bk.
Lordship's motion, dischorged,
.and the accounts
moved for in the second part of the Noble Earl's
motion as above, were ordered' to belt id before
House.

Lord GRENVILLE, alter a few observations on
•
the special importance of the point, and sits ne-
cessity for the illustration of that part of the sob-
ject under the consideration of their LordShips'
Select Committee on Indian Affairs, viz. the Sys.
