LORD MELVILLE, &c;

r. Iv°I'ITIME rl /.? grated,• thatas the p,,pers
on.the sohjea of the Tein 'h Report were not likely
-
to be printed belote Saturday, lie felt it necessarty
to pot oft thi mo:ion for th'eliripeachment tit Lora
Melville, of which he had given notice for Thurs.
His intention was at first to put it or till
the Monday -pftvr, but understanding that that dAy
would lie ii;convenient to the Right Hun, Grntlernan
ppoitc the CHANCELLOR, of the E4CIVEQUita),
be would fix it for Tuesday.
Tb, C ANC kLL'..)I? If the EXCILEQUBR
said, he had not been in the House when the 'Hun.
Getitlernangiive his notice, He understood it, how.
~er to relate it) tW 0 Objeth : one the 4npeschment
of Lord and ilia other certain Resolutions
conceping himself, lie did suppose that if the Papers
041,1 pot he printed before Saturday, it would be
too soon to offer to the House a Motion grounded
pn thi! whole matter of .them. He did not know
what tPaY be.the ovule of the Resolutions to be pro.
pusetl nits, what may le precisely the
I,sarti, tai the 44,,eputt oh which btl,ol Resolutions may

be founded ; bat he was anxious that any charge
that was intended to be brought against him should
he brought to a decision as speedily as possible,
Those who ,composed the Committee knew best.
what parts of the Report such charges could have
reference to; but after the notice that had been given,
it waa natural that he should wish the matter to
come to a hearing as speedily as possible.
• .41r- WHITBREAD was desituus that the mat.
ter should be brought before the House as speedily
as pnosilde, but it was necessary that the whole
Reisnrt shinild he a reasonable time in the hands
of Gentlemen before any Motion could be insti_.
tined tion it, either with resped to Lord Mel-
ville or the Right Hun. Gentleman. He should
therefore be under the necessity of allowing •th'e
proper interval for consideration, and he should ad.
here to the order he had laid down in his notice of
moving the Impeachment first. He womb' be pre-
pared to bring forward the other Motions as soon
after as the House could sir.
Mr. CANNING said, the matters which were
to be made the grounds of charge against his Right
Hon. Friend (the CHANCZLLOR of the EXCIIE.
(vett) must be known, and any Member of the.
Committee was competent to say, whether what re-
lated to the condud of his Right Hon. Friend was
capable of being considered He wished some
other Meniber of the Committee besides the Hon.
Gentleman (Mr. WkilTaltitAD), to say whether that
part of the Repcsrt could be separated from the ge.
neral matter. If it could be separated, and if it
could be clearly, understood in this distind form, he
saw no reason why any Member of the Committee
may not move that it be taken into consideration
on ThursdAy.

Mr.)", L fISC E L kES stated, that thegeneral mat-,
ter of The Report related to Lord Melville and Mr.
Trotter. The part which related to the Right Hon.
Gentleman (the CHANCRLLOR of the EXCHEQUER)
was distintft. There were only three points that may •
be made the ground of Resolutione against the Right
Hon. Gentleman : the application of the eete,oool..
the conversation with Mr. kaikes, and the affair
of jellicoe. These points were plain and distinct,
and required no delay for the consideration of them,
at the tiitme time that it was most important that
the 'sense of Or House upon them should be speedily
pronounced. It no other Member of the Committee
thought. there was reason for delay, he thought the
matter (Met to ,he proceeded on without delay.; and
if no other ;vas disposed to move that the points he
had referred to be taken into consideration at the
earliest period, he
Mr. WiIITBRE,I9 suitl, if the Hon. Gentle.
man did what he preposed he would do that which
he believed was wholly without precedent. When
one Member gave a notice, it would be very extra.
ordinary indeed that another should take the business
out of his hands merely because he might wish it
to' be' decided upuo a day or two sooner. It would
,he for the Howe to consider whether any , thing
resulting (rain the Papers could be judged of before
the Papers were fully considered, and Whether the
Pliers could be fully considered in any time short of
,that he proposed., I:Liquestiotiably the Members of
the Committee had the means of forming distinct
opinions .wHioot,this delay ;
.and it was as a Mem.
her of the 'Committee be had. the means of forming
the opinion oti which he had given his notice. But
that was not a reason fore calling on the House to
pronounce. witbotieconsideration on what the Mem.,
bcrs of the Committee were ,already perft!ftly ac-
quainted with. The Cniennittee, as
a body,
had
not agreed to propose any proceedings on the Re.
port. Ii the Cemmittee 'had been of opinion to
institute such proceedings, the Chaffin in would
have. been,instruded accordingly. He had asked
'the Chairman, whether he meant to submit
any Motion to the House ; and it was on being
informed that the Chairman had no such intention,
that he formed the eletermioation of bringing for.
ward the measure, of which he had given notice.
He again represented the extraordinary proceeding
of the Honourable Gentleman taking the unattrr
out of his hands merely because he wished the
business to he considered a day or two earlier.
The Papers would not he ready before Saturday
evening. Many Gentlemen would, have left town
before that day for the Holidays, and would not,
of course, have the Papers in their hands before
Wednesday. Ile thought the day he mentioned
sufficiently early, and he adhered to the Order he
had laid down.

Mr. 1..A4Ce11. ES said, he should not wish to Ale
any thing irregular.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCIJEQUER
asked, whether the Itan.Gentleman meant to bring
forward both Motions on the same day He thought
the Hon. Gentleman could hardly expea the House
to decide so summarily.
Mr. WttwitteAn said, he had meant merely
that there would be no delay part He would
be ready to submit his second Propositions as soon
as fhe house could t►►eet after the discussion of the
first part.

Mr. Fox said, he saw no reasnn why any Gen.
tleman who did not think the day fixed for the ilia.
cues on of any rirr r►l the matter sufficiently early,
should not he cornp►e'tent to move the House to come
to a deciiion e.►r;ier.

Sir JOIN STLI/IRT, as Chairman of the' COM.
mittee on the Repairs of the Romney, &c. reported,
that the Lords'hacl, in ?,nswer to the request of the
House to permit the Earls of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE
and Sr. VINCENT, 40,d Lord St DuottrH, to come
and be examined before 'the Committee, as to the
proceedings with tespeet to Sir HoMS POPHAM,
&slit(' to he informed of the grounds of the re.
(pelt, and the particular obj,tis of the examination.
The CHANCELLOR of the Excituquitit thought
the matter of this Report worthy of consideration,
and moved that it should be taken into consideration
to morrow.

Mr. FOSTER bought in 3 Bill for regulating the
Colletlion of the-Hearth Duty in Ireland. Read
a first time, and ortkred to be read a second time to.
morrow.

On the Motion of the Clint4c Ll,Olt Of the Ex.;
CH NUF R the Order tor the production of Accounts
of Monies inverted in the Funds in the name of the
Accountant. General of the Court of Chancery, anti
tt.e Deputy Retnensbrancer of the Eg„chequer,
the 'Account of §uitors its these Courts, was dis_
chargc4, and the 4cconnto were TAFfed in the

amended firm of Accounts of unclaimed Dividenda,
and that pin of such Dividends as litOjti in the names
of these Officers.

On the motion of Mr. ja FFERY, after a few oh.
-servationi from Admiral MARKHAM, a number of
Accounts relating to the Supply of Foreign Timber
to the Navy, were ordered, with a discretion of
omitting the names of the places and persons whence
the timber was to be obtained, when the disclosure
would be inconvenient to the public service. The
form of this limitation was suggeited by the CHAN.
c era.° a of the EXCHEQUIII. Several Accounts
relative to the Stores of British Oak Timber, and
the Building and Repairs of Ships, were also ordered
on the motion of Mr. JEFFERY. •
Mr. PETER MOORE called the attention of the
House to a Petition which he presented in the month
of March horn the Journeymen Calico Printers.—
Notwithstanding the time that had been given, no
reasonable arrangement could be obtained by the
Petitioners. The mischief arose from the unlimited
admission of Apprentices, in consequence of which
goon Journeymen were now out of employ. These
apprentices, whether indented or nut, had from 45.
to 75. a week ; the' Journeymen had from 245. to
311. friOM the excessive employment of Appien.
Ewes the Journeymen were reduced to great distress,
and the manufattures suffered. The price of the
commodity was- at the same time charged as high
as if manulattUred by the best and most skilful
hands, This was certainly a matter which called
for Legislative interference, whether it was with a
view to cause these useful persons to be employed,
or to give the commodity to the Public at a reason-
able price, or to derive aid to the Revenue, by
taxing the excessive profit now enjoyed. He moved,
therefoie, that the minutes ef the evidence taken
before the Committee on this subject last Session
should be referred to a Committee to report thereon
to the House.

Mr. ROSE thought, from the experience that
had been had in a similar case last Ses*ion, that the
matter could not be brought to a decioon this 4leb.
ii.lll. He thought itbetter to deter the matter till
early in the next Session, when there would be an
opportunity for 101 l consideratioo.

t t .
Mr. EGEKTON abd Mr. LASCtLLES tnougnt it
better to deter the constderotiun of the subject to
next Session.
Mr. Moottz consented to withdraw his motion
for the present; but expressed a confident .hope, that
the Hun. Gentleman would support him next Seri.
'ion, when he pledged himself to bring forward the
subjed, which certainly called fur Legislative in.
terterence.
