LORD MELVILLE. • .
'The CllAlti CELLO!? ',of. the 'EXCHEQUER
thought it his duty to,acqUaint the House, tha-t the
Noble Lord who had been the.subjeCi of the dis.
cussion on, a former night, .had since mace a tender
of the resignation of the Office of First, Lbrd of 01* '
Admiralty to 'His' Majesty, which teL‘l,er had been
graciously accepted by His Majesty,
Mr. WHITBREAD on -this, moved, that the Re.
solution]; adopted by the Howie on Monday. nigh'f
be read.
The Resolutions being entered as read, anti the
last, which clurirs the connivance of the Noble
Lord at the praCtice, of drawing the public, money
from the Bank, for , the private interest 'of Mr.
Trotter; ae a gross violation of jaw, and a high.
breach of his duty, having been read by the ,Clerk,
.
Mr. .WHITRIM/11) observed, that the corn,.
munication which. the Right lion, Gentleman hail
just made courd not have,: been` tinexpdied after
the manner in vhich ‘he

, hitt confessed, that he as not satisfied with
such inOtification, neithei did she think Ahe ['Olio
~
1 or that•f4oti3e:we:itld be satisfied With it,'as the eilds
of justice would nut be attained if no Oreceediogs.
were to he adopted in conseqUenCe.of:Ahe Resolutions
which the I-louse had come to :on a :former day,
and they were to,. rest there,- IT the issue of the
Debate had been of'a personal or of a party nature;
if the Gentlemen who had:'srippOrted the ResOlu.
;ions were to consult ,only their own feelings, they
might be satisfied, because die Noble' Lord bad
thought proper to retire from is situation of honour,
of dignity, -and of responsibility-under the Crown, -
A, far as personal feelings might have been coo.
cerned, the triumph Alley had obtained would be
:completely aatiifaCtory. But neither he nor any of
those Gentlenten,.whose support he bad the honour
of having, had been actuated by any thing personah ,
He had undertaken the,arduous. task friM a 'sense
,of
duty, andon.constitutional grounds, and should-mit,
therefore abandon the prosecution of it in conre.
(pence of. the notification that the .Noble Lord: had
, retired frorn dice. If,' he knew his own heart, or'
the feelinga.predominant in his breast, ho coultide-
. clare that there was nothing..vindietive, in either,
and could there have been any.. motive of Such a.
nature for his condo 1, lie. should stop short, and
' desist, after having obtained such a iverditi from'
the HpusC. They should consider that. Lord Mel.:
I ville, stigmatized- as he had -been by that virdiCti
had not been ilismisseds-. He had only done what
any honourable. man would 'do if he had reason notl
to. be satisfied, with hi;:'situatiOn.‘ If the House'
were to -test here; what security hid they that Lord
Melville might not Ile restored tozniorroyv ? Such
an event was'not impossible, and it became the dig:„.
..nity, and wa,l consistent with the :honour of that
House to, take. such further proceedings as would
render such a

ilefting,onthe circumstances that had aecottipanied
their ,past proceedings on thisaubjed, no man could
: contemplate the issue without feeling gratitude,
pride, andiatisfadion. There had been „many. in,.
