Paper went to establish zr char" titre'rhe repair of
the Romney. What this repair ould riocnow
state, but at any rate it was proper that it should
have been done with some attention to economy. But
he found it Si ated in the Report, Otat out of 90061;
there was an excess of charges of 71801. With re.
sped to the Sensible, there were also several par-
ticulars of overcharges stated by the Navy Board.,
He had altered the establishment of that Ship,
and made her 'a 32-gun vessel. It was also found,
upon examination by the Navy Boatel, that so tar
from paying attention to the wants of the vessel,
a mast and other articles were ordered for her one
month previous to her arrival at Calcutta. Other,
Accounts, relative to the proceedings in the Red Sea,
would also be necessary in order to investigate
this proceeding. When these were produced, he.
believed that they would belound extremely curl.

necessary, particularly th there was any
such, Iron') Marquis Wdle, live to this busi.
netts. If it should be declare that there was no
such letter, with that declaration he must of course
be contented. There was, however, one drams.
stance which would form an inducement to the House
to grant these Papers, and would be a justification
of his cdndud in the present instance. It might be
asked, whether there were not other TribUnals be.
fore which this matter might more properly be
' brought ? The reason was this :he had heard, and
had heard it from good authority too, that the late
Board had it in contemplation to move a Criminal
Information against the Hon. Admiral. Now, when
he saw the inefficient AdMiralty out, and the ',Orient
Admiralty in, he thought it proper that the matter
staould come before Parliament. The CoMmissioners
of Naval Inquiry, one of the most honourable 80.
dies that ever existed, would not have arty thing
to do with the affair. He hoped that the Hon.
Admiral would be able to clear himself. If there
was no such Report as he alluded to, the Hon. Ad.
tuiral might thank him for giving an opportti.
pity of exposing a
,false and scandalous libel. He

On the Motion being put,
Sir HOME POP t lAM, though .he hod not the
smallest ohjeftion to the Motions .of the Hon.
'Member, yet trusted, he ehotild meet the indul.
gence of the House ,for a few Minutes, 'whilst he
read some Extradi of Letters to and from the late
First Lord of the 'Admiralty, and to the late Ad.
miralty, on the subjed to which the Motions
of the lion. Gentleman referred. He should not
follow the Finn. Gentleman through the whole de-
tail of matter which he had drawn from an annoy.
moos publication, though he could not help corn.
plimenting him on the fidelity,' of his, memory, in
tracing the,Charges through such a length of time
and number of dates. So far was he himself from
objeCting to the produCtion of any Paper that
could serve to throw a light on the subjeCt, that he
should, with the permission of the House, submit;
some Motions.. for further- Papers, with a view to
that end, as soon es the present Motion should ha
slispoled of, and he had no doubt, that the Honour!.
hle ClentleMan would'have a different opinion on the
question, from what he seemed at present to have
formed on an ex pane Statement, when the rapers
should be laid on the Table. He could not here
omit replying to the observation of the Honbura.
ble Gentleman with roped to the cirounstance
of the Pamphlet to which he had alluded, and
from which he appeared to have derived all his.
information, having remained hitherto unanswered,
that that anonymous Publication would have been:
long since anewera, if the Press had not been
somewhat alarmed, so that he could rireget a.
Printer to print his Answer. That impediment had
since been remetved,, and the Answer was ready for,
publication, which bad been deferred in. consequence
of the Motion of the Honourable gentleman. Withe.
the petmiision of the House; and if the Horeaurable
Gentlemartthould not have any objedioe, he pro,
posed. to read certain Extrads from Letters con.
tamed theroire,:, Theo, he confeased,' were not in
an official fofot before the House, but he proposed
toinnve,in the course of the evening, tot all such, in
an official form, as would be necessary.. to give the
House a clear view of 1110 whole,' of the subjeo.---
The Hon. Bonnet then proceed4.'to read Extrads
from several Letters, from the printed Copy of his
Reply. The first was, front a Letter from himself
to Lord St. Vincent, dated July 2, 1803, in Which.
he repeated a pressing solicitation' for an interview
with his Lordship, hi order to. obviate. the Calumnies'
with which hischalitder was traduced; Second; an
Extrad from: LOrd St. Vincent's Answer, dated
July 3,, ,in. - which his Lordship states, 'that the
Admiralty had ciliated the Navy: Nara to inquire
into, and report Upon the Coptbid of Sir Irony:
Popharn,.; ~and that a Copy of :the Report, When
made, should be given to him, .aecompanied with.the

be.personally examilted before the different.Purds,
in or,ter to accelerate the Report 'on bit) o,lttlutf,
this Note no whatever 1144;1 been returned,
Vile next was an Ex trao of a Letter to the Navy
ii eird, to which he ...news his solicitation to he in;
, stiomental it, ANcicrating the Report tip his

dal, and appeals to the tepott made at Chatham, in
proof that no repairs-had been made On the Rom.
ney but what had been necessary. The Honour-
able Baronet then explained what had liaised at
Calcutta, in the repairsof the different vessels under
his commandi none of which had been adverted to
by the Hoo.Gentleman, except • the Romney, nor
by the anon.ymouitpublication , from which lie had
taken all his infory; tion. Here he could not omit
to notice,- tlitt anonymous publication had
made no slight irni' • 'on on certain gallant Officers
in the Navy. In of this the Hon. Baronet
read an affidavit that 'l' en voluntarily made by
a Gentleman who lad en out with him as 3d,
then as xd Lieutenant, and had afterwards been
made Commander by Lord St. Vincent. The Gen.
tleman he adverted to was Prsusicli/lason, Esq.
Commander of His Majesty's Ship Rattler ; and as
that Gentleman was indebted - wholly for his pro.
motion to Lord St. Vinent, his voluntary and on.
solicited testimony would have some weight.' with
the House. The affidavit had been made before the
Mayor of Portsmouth, on the sth of January, t Sog,
subsequent to the appearance of the Pamphlet, but
before the notice of the Honourable Gentleman's
motion. (The tenor of this affidavit was highly
complimentary to the conduct of the Hon. Baronet,
as a disciplinarian and an Officer, and stated, that
in one instance ,1.00 lives had been saved in conie-
quence of the excellence of his boats, and the well.
trained expertness of his crew.) The Honourable
Baronet then observed, that it was not unworthy
of remark, that if the late Admiralty had had it in
contemplation to institute a criminal prosecution_
against him, he had been in England thirteen,
months, whilst they still continued in office, with.
our their taking any steps therein, though the Re.
port upon which so much stroll was laid haebeen
in their possession from. February till May, when
they went out of office. As the observations of
the Honourable Gentle Man seemed to have made
same impression on the .House, lie had trusted to its
indulgence thus far, to which he should only add,
that as the late Admiralty had sufficient time to have
consulted the Crown Lawyers, they might, if they
had chosen, have brought him to a Court Martial,
and it would appear from the passages the Hon.
Member had quoted from the Report, that they
would have cut off the hydra's headif they had it
in their .power. The Hon. Baronet concluded by
asattring the Hon. Member, that when the Papers
jie called for should be produced, he would alter
the opinion he had already formed on an ex pane
case; and expressed a sincere wish that there might
not be a single disientient voice in the House on the
Motions'of the Hon. Gentleman.

Captaitz MARKHAM defended the proceedings
of the hate Navy Board, and confirmed Mr. K IN-
NM It in his Staterilept respeding the intention
to move for a Criminal Information against the
Hon. Admiral.

Mr, WM.. DiC'KANSOisse said, he was not 'imme-
diately prepared to answer the question as to the
Report before the Admiralty; but this he could yen.
rare to say, from' ,his clear recolleetion, that the
Navy Board reportethhat they had acted contrary to
their usual course, and that they had determined on.
an ex parte examination, because they thought that
motes of proceeding more agreeable to the late Board
of Admiralty. It had been asked, why did not the
,present Bind bring that Officer to the trial of a
Court. Martial ? answer to that was.; that the
time had exraited."they, therefore, did with .the
charge all that they could d'; they sent 'it t 6 the
CoMmissioners of Naval Inquiry ; who rejected it •
as merely an sx parte Report; Hc, however, had
the vatisfaetion of congratulating the gallant Officer,
that whenever this business shall come to an inves.
ligation, he will he excoloated, not only on account
of hie gentlid 'eharaeler, but•from the evidence re,
speeting the fad itself. •
Me/R,Ki/A/1//, in explanation, said,' that
what the Navy Boarfi4tott done, to meet, as they
auPPPaesi, the wishes Of the late Board of Admiral.
,tY• was merely the raking the business tsi irnine.
diately, and without delay.
The CLUNCELOR of tit EXCHEQUER
said, he was very tar.from wishing to give the least
opposition to the Motions ; hut be could not help
saying, that as it bad been understood from the first
notice of those Motions, that there would be no op.
position to the medallion of the Papers that were
demanded, he should consider it mare,coneunant to
the,general principles of equity, that no unnecessary
or aggravated deteilrif circumstances should be *tat.
ea, in order to produce an impression, when the
Motions were not to be resisted, ha rather lamented
that the Hon. Movo had gone so tnuch into detail,'
and ha should: nut say
,a word on the other side, if
•it were not merely with a view of removing'prejo.
dice: As so touch stress had been laid on this Re.
-port of the Navy Board, it was necessary to consi.
der what that Report was, which wpula euificiently
appear from their own expressions in a Copy of ..it,
• which he held in his hand, in which they stated,
that " they deemed it necessary to infant' the 'Lords
of the Admiralty, that they had ltamed this iteport
'Docuinents upon which Sir Home' Pophern had.
not beenestaminett; and that they had departed from
t heir usual course,- conceiving it to be ttie wish of
• their Lordshipi that they #ltould proc.ecd in that
manner,"

. .
frir. FOX thought the Right Hon. Gentleman
have delayed his construetion of the. meaning
of his Report until the Report itself should have
been produced ; ha ,was surprised to hear him coin..
piain that the Hop..Gentletnan (Mr. Kir.tvAlßD)
had gone into too much tletail when he wits lay.

Whenever he or lii: Ftiends had moved for an In.

that when the neatest friends and trlations of the
