1. N the' Spring of i. 794 I was 41.1.1iCteci 'w4ll' a
Venereal Complaint, which, I treated with incliner-
ence for five months ; but Was then obliged to apply to a
regular Physician, who put _a temporary, stop to the viru-
lence of the Disease (by mercurial applications) for some
time;- but growing, in spite of all .medicine and the advice
of the first Gentlemen of the Faculty here, worse aril
worse for two years, I was reduced to a state aioNst un-
paralleled and beyond description, being• an entire leper,
and ulcerated front head to toot.---ly head, throat, mouth,
nose, legs, arms, lkc. have been alternately. in danger of
becoming useless; in short, X have had from twenty to
thirty eating- ulcera on my • body; and nearly totally de. -•

Will 'be, one of a More dangerous, or of a Mote cornpli-
cate&hature. I was long looked 'upon by my friends, and
imagined myself, beyond all hopes of rec,:very ; and,,in-
deed, in my- then condition, death was preferable to.. my
more than miserable state. in this dreadful situation did
I drag a, most miserable existence, till Divine Providence
threw in my• way a Newspaper containing the case of a
Mr. B. of Plymouth—my friends read it, I could not.—l
sent and procured some of your --LE A KE's PATENT

General LoFTtissalled the attention of the House
to the situation of the Family of the late Lord
KiLwAtttErt, and expressed a hope, that something
worthy of the dignity of His Majesty's Gottern-
ment would be done for the Family of a per%on who
had fallen under such circumstances as those in which
he lost his life.
Mr. Secretary YoRIE assured the Hon. Member
and the House, that the subject to which he had al.
luded, had been the object of the most serious at-
tention of His Majesty'4 Government, and that
some measure would shortly 'be submitted to the
House which, hetitasted, would be of a nature not
onlysufficient to meet the wishes of every Member
of that House, but which would go so far,• as to
gratify the most sanguine expectations that could
reasonably be entertained by the warmest friend of
that highly respectable, and rrnich to be regretted
person.

tIANOVERIAN TROOP,S;
Mr: FOX then rose to make his promised Motion
'relative to the Contra 1s for Shipping to 'convey the
Hanoveriao Army to this Country; 'and pref;:ced it
with a' very, few. observations: He took it for
granted that no man would deny that ,the loss of
Hanover was, under the, present circumstances of
this Country, to be considered a serious calamity.
It was equally clear, .that if the loss of His Majety's
Eleaoral Dominions could not have been prevented
by timely interference, every exertion ought to have
been made to bring over the whole, or at least a
part of the Hanoverian Troops, who might either
have been employed for purposes of national de-
fence, or sent on foreign service in distant gunners
of the world. His Majesty's Government had suf.
ficiently early intimation of the intentions of the
French Government to invade' Hanover, and this
plan they ought' to have been prepared to counter-
asi. If they _could not succeed in this, it was at
least their sacred duti, to have taken measures to pre-
vent the Hanoverian Artny falling into the hands of
t French Army employe&to over-run the Country.
I If corntOun reports were to be credited, Ministers

had looked to both of fhose objects. They had not
only thought of measures to prevent the incursion,
hut, anticipating that these measures might he una_
vailing, they had adtplly entered into a Contrail
for Transports to convey the Hanoverian Army to
this Country. This was what common report stated,
and he wished to have the matter fully under the
consideration of the House. If Ministers did take
up Transports for the purpose he had stated, the
question would come to be, how far this C)ntrad
was entered into in time ; and whether, if Frans-
ports were taken up, they never sailed on their pro-
poNed destination ? It was with tile view of ascer-
taining these fads, of the existence of the Contrads,
and the deg:'ec of progress which had been made to
carry them into effed, he had felt it his duty to
bring forward the Motion which he should now sub-
mit to the House. Mr. Fox concluded with making
the following Motion :—" That there be laid be-
fore the. House an Account of the number and ton-
nage of the Transports prepared by Government for
taking on boatel the Hanoverian Army : also an Ac_
roam of the expences attending the same, with a
statement of the dates of the first orders sent from
the Transport Office, for their sailing upon that oc-
casion : and lastly, for Copies of the Orders (if any)
which had been sent by Government for the pur.
pose of countermanding the sailing thereof."
The Motion being put from the Chair,

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
got up, and stated, that he perfealy agreed with the
Hon. Gentleman, that the incursion of the French
into Hanover was a serious national calamity ; and
if it had been possible to have taken any measures
for the protettion of that Country, it was the iudis-
pen.aable duty of His. Majesty's Ministers to have
resorted to them, and to have made their bes.t
efforts to have rendered them successful. It it/as
riot at all his intention to enter minutely into, the
subject, on the present occasion. He thought it
right, however, to ni,.ke a few general obseivations,
which appeared to him highly worthy of the atten-
tion of the House. He wished the House to hear
in mind the state of this Country at the recom-
mencement of hostilities. Under t:ee circumstances
in which the War was renewed, ',at would not be de-
ried that we had not the rnean'4 of sending any part
of our Military Force to che relief of Hanover.
The House would also 'iecolleft, that at the time
the War broke out, tly'..te were two Treaties in ex-
istence for the proteiti.n of the Neutrality of the
North cf Germany, to which all the Great Powers
of the Continent, wete parties. If these Conven.
tions were dis'agardeti by the French Government,
he appealed "ail the candour of the house whether any
rernonstrir,tcs by His Majesty's Ministers were
likely to, be attended with success. So much as to
the fit point he thoughtit proper to state generally,
on the present occasion.. As to the second•ques-
tioo, about the exertions made to bring away the
lianoierian Army, a few words of explanation might
not be unsatisfaefory, As the Motion which had
been submitted to the House was now worded, he
had not the smallest objedion to urge against it. If
the Papers called for had at all referred to any Orders
issued by His Majesty in his Eledoral capacity, un-
questionably he must have opposed it ; as it now
stood, it-had his assent. At the present moment he
was desirous of anticipating the result of the pro.
dulion of the Parpey moved tor, so far as to state,
that Ministers 'had taken the earliest opportunity of
providing means for bringing away the Hanoverian
Troops. Only two days titer the recommencement
hostilities, a conference was held with His Ma-
jesty's Eledoral Minister at this Court, for the pur.
pose of consulting on the most effedual mode of
conveying the Hanoverian Army to this Country, in
case of necessity. The result of this was, that a
plan for this purpose was proposed and instantly
adopted. An Agent was, on the rBth of May, sent
to 1.-lanibtargh, to contract fur Vessels to bring the
Hanoverian Troops to the mouth oftthe Elbe. These
vessels were contraded far, and in all respeds ready,
before the orders for their sailing were issued.
Circumstances did occur to retard the orders for sail-
ing, but these had eta connexion with any want of
I)reparation. At the txeiration of two days, mea-
sures bringing over the Hanoverian Troops were
adopted, and in a week, no fewer than thirty-six
Transports were ready to proceed on their destina-
tion. The H',use, he trusted, would give him
credit for this statement, as it would be fully yeti-
ed by the production of the Papers for which the
Hon. Gentleman moved.

The Motion was trith from the Chair, and
carried, without a division.
The consid•raiion of the Lords' Amendments to
the Volunteer Bill was postponed till .Mondry next.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL mewed for leave to
bring in a Bill io facilitate the Arrest of herons
who may escape frown crie part of the United King-
dom to the other.—Granted.
