wee, to discover whether the money pante& for
Navy Service• had been applied to any othel. sett
vice ; and one of the documents, the Letter. from
Lord St. Vincent to Sir A. Hamond, rendered
that cleir. No man could suppose that LW.. St:,
/Vincent would swear that he had not known lipy
thing of the Secret Expedi►ion, In his Letter the
Noble Lund stated, that as the expence was to be

defrayed by the Treastiry, • there was no occasion
fir giving details to the 13:ard of Admiralty,—
He asked the House whether any man could more
clearly wash his hands of the business ? As a
hinet . Minister, he must have known of an Expeili:
tion projetted by the Cabinet. Here then ended, in
the Isce of the Hnuse, the first charge brought against
Lord St. Vincent. This was the situation in which
nu man of hotiour could submit to. The Noble

Lord had acquitted himself as a Naval Officer, by
not employing any Naval Officer in.choaking up the
Harbour of Boulogne; and as a faithful servant of
the Public, in nut allowing the application of the
public money to services- fur which it wa• not
voted. ,He had only to return his thanks to the
Hon. Baronet for having braight forward the Mo.
tios which afforded the opportunity of vindicating
the Nvble Lord's eharader. _ _

said, that this much at least indisputably appeared
en the face of the Papers that had.iseen read, that the
t, tnsaition that had oecasioned the expence was
known to Lord St. Vincent, that he had no objet.

Mr. Giiii,Y said, u was most certain that Lord
St. Vincent knew of, the tratisitelion„ When the
question was put to his Lordship, it was only in re.
harrier to the application of the Navy Money ; and
in that sense, which was the only rational one, the
evidence Stood unimpeaclied,
Mr, WALL ACE said, if he recolleatd the con.
tents of the Payers just now read, there was one
in which Lord St. Vincent avowed a distinct know.
ledge and complete approbation of the Expedition,
and in which Sir A. flame:trot was not only direeted
to superintend the preparatioos, but also to procure,
the funds. .
Mr. GREY thought this construction direttly eon.
wiry to the fair sense of the Papers alluded to.
Sir 4. S. II AM)IV D.—Lord St, Vincent three%
the Comptroller of the Navy to issue the funds tar
the preparation of the Expedition. I beg to know
whether his Lordship, or any hotly else, could sup.
pose that I was to furnish these funds out of my
own pocket ? Lori St. Vincent writes that he is
sarisued the preparations will be well perfedeti. k
was to suppose, that with lay letter he had read
what I inclosed, and given the approbation he cx.
pressed to the whole arrangement.
(Here the Hon.
Baronet read the iliCinAllti which was a letter from
Lord Hobart, in which he was (Hutted to superin.
tend thr ereparations of the Stone Expedition, to
ourchase vcssela, coiled materials, arc. and to issue
the necessary sums, which were to he replaced by
the Tre.aststy.) When the preparstiutel were eons.
pieced, Lord St. Vincent expressed his readiness to
provide a convoy, and to write to Lord Keith to
give t-,tay assistance and facility in his power.—
Tlie answer of Lord St. Vincent to him soiclobed
Uoll Hoharths letter, saying, that as the expence
as to be defrayed by the Treasury, it was not
necessary to state the details of the plan or prepa.
ratio's to the Admiralty.
Mr, trA LL UCCA asked whether, after this ex.
- plana'ion, what he had asserted was direttly con.
trary to the fair construction of the Papers. It Was,
obvious that the money was to be advanced, in the
Ars' instance, by the,Comptroller of the Navy, to

Mr. TIERbitY said, it was evident Lord St.
Vincent would not allow of the epplieition of the
Navy-money to this Expedition. , '
Mr. GREY contended, that Lord Sr. Vincent on.
detstood that the whole captivee was to be defrayed
by the Treasury, and his Lordship protested against
applying the Navy money to it. He had the au.
thority of Lord Sr. Vincent to say, in his own cm.
phasic language, he would have put his hand into
the fire before he would consent to any such sip! li.

Mr. WALLACR said, there vos nothing in the
Papers betas the iloose to chew this abh9rreucc of

Mr. SULLIVAN was now loudly called for on
every side. He began by lamenting that he bail bed
