no blame rested any where ; but that the conduct -
of our commander, at Navarin was part of the poliel
which he had not heard iu the course of that night's
debate that it was intended to change, hut if Ministers en-
tertained any such intention, he hopd they would have the
manliness to avow it. If, however, blame rested any
where, it would be easy to prove that it (lid not rest with
the gallant individual who had been so frequently alluded
to, and never without praise and honour, but with those
who concluded the treaties that had placed him in the
situation in which he appeared to have exercised a sound
discretion-with reference to his sense of duty.—(Hear.)—
He would not have consented to the address had not the
Noble Duke declared that in the unlucky selection of thi
word " untoward" there was not even a hint of disappro-
bation intended against the gallant officer. When the do-
cuments should he laid before their 'Lordships, it would
appear that the gallant officer was intrusted with a neces-
sarily large but well and fairly-exercised discretion. He
hoped, that in justice to the gallant Admiral -himself, the
fullest documents possible would be produced.—(llear.)
On the first intelligence of the affair at Navarin reaching
this country, it was found that further information was
wanting. That information was supplied, and being sup-
plied, it was seen that the gallant Admiral was entitled t,
the warm approbation of the Government and the country.
It was not incumbent on him to say more on the present
occasion. With respect to other events, lie was prepared
to give the fullest explanation when called upon. He had
rises on the present occasion merely to enter his protest on
behalf of a gallant individual, who was entitled to the pro-
tection, not of his friends alone, but of every person who
was proud of British honour.—(Hear.)
Lord GODERICH said, that having been a member of
the Government under which the Noble Duke (Welling-
ton) had been instructed to sign the protocol, and having
also been a party to the treaty of London, he felt it due
to his own character to subscribe entirely to all that had
fallen from his Noble Friend who had spoken last. When-
ever the time should arrive for discussing the course of po-
licy in which be had had a share, he would be prepared
to express his sentiments with the same fearlessness with
which he now addressed their Lordships ; and be concurred
with his Noble Friend in believing that it would not be
difficult to prove, that there was nothing in that policy,
or in the particular transaction growing out of it, incon-
sistent with the honour of the country or its best under-
stood interests. That proposition he would be prepared
to maintain, and, he thought, to establish it to the satis-
faction of the House and the country. He entirely con-
curred in all that had fallen front the Noble Duke and the
Noble Marquis respecting the conduct of Sir E. Codring-
ton. In his opinion he had exercised a sound discretion.
He was placed in circumstances of no ordinary difficulty,
and he discharged his duty like a man of courage. He
was prepared to support the Gallant Admiral, not only on
the principle that it was the duty of a Government to sup-
port those who executed their orders, but from a delibe-
rate conviction that he was justified under the circum-
stances in the course which he took, and that in taking
that course he neither tarnished his own previously ac-
quired fame, nor sullied the honour and reputation of his
coutitry.
The Earl of DUDLEY rose and said a few words, but
in su low a tone, that they were lost in the noise and cen-
fusion incidental to the want of accommodation afforded in
the House to the Press, and to all below the bar. We un-
derstood his Lordship to say, that Government intended to
adhere to its former principles in relation to Turkey, and
that he was ready to uphold the conduct of the Gallant
Admiral.

The Address was then carried Nem. £on.
The usual Motions at the commencement of the Sessions
were then put and carried.
The Duke of WELLINGTON, after a few laudatory
observations, moved, 'g That the Earl of Shaftesbury' be
appointed Chairman of Committees on Public and Private
Bills."

Lord ELDON eulogised the Noble Earl, and the vote
was carried without opposition.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY expressed his sense of the
vote, and said, that this was the thirteenth time he had
been appointed Chairman of the Committees of that House.
At Eight o'Clocl: the House Adjourned to Thursday
next.
