Lord I3ATHURST rose to order. He, theee.hr,
it was completely out oforder for any Noble Lora to

that it as quite out of order for , any individual in

which were supposed to belong only to his Majesty,
sad-which had not been regularly befors.thte. House.]
Lord GRENVILLE hoped their Lordships
would never countenance such a construction of their ,
orders, as that after a Minister has thought proper
to pall from his pocket confidential dispatches from
other Noble Lords, and read from them sentences,
and half sentences, which had the effect of misrepre-
ening their communications in confidential situ-
ations, for the purpose of criminating their conduct
in the eyes of the Public, it should be deemed a vio-
lation of order for Noble Lords, so misrepresented,
to rise in their places, and vindicate their characters
by plain statements of facts. Not only had a vili-
fication been attempted in that House, but even in
;public Newspaper, wherein the conduct of his
Noble and Gallant Friend had, been arraigned, and
himself reproached for the. counsel ha had giyen.
Into the . same Paper another attempt-to *-ow
odium upon his Majesty's late Government: had
found its way, in the shape of, a coefidgiiiii4,
dccw
neat, but garbled and mutilated. for the,- purposes.
of misrepresentation, and which could have been
obtained in no other way than through the medium
of a, Secretary of State. It was . against misrepre-
sentations of this sort that his Noble Friend- hadi
risen to vindicate himself, not by an unwarrantable
disclosure of confidential dispatches, but by a plain .
statement of truths, in refutation of falsehoods.

-service ; and having so done, he purchased a* ship,
sAtled at Ostend, and exchanged the vessel so pro-
cured for another named the El Trusco. Thus pro-
vided, the Honourable*Baronet sailed for India, where
he loaded his ship, proceeded from thence to Dunge-
ness, and there'ran in ; or, to speak more intelligibly,
smuggled in a part of the cargo. After some trans.

was concerned, the ship came within the jurisdiction

-upon instituted, and claims were put in by the Ho-
i)ourable Baronet, to the amount of 100,0001. ; and he

absconded. Captain Robinson, who was the, captors

any groonitbe justified? He thotight .the whole navy

--spent such a diversion of the property from its legiti-
,glate appropriatiOn. The Honourable Baronet did
,not event pay to. the captors their eapences out, of the
amount thus gratuitoully besthwed upon him. The
Right. Hon. and Learned Gentleman would recollect
that he delayed some timiliefore he i.routd. venture to
sanction. such a grant; and this circumstance ought
to be mentioned_ to his. credit. The documents from
which he had.aequiied this. information he had. only,e.duli• *ruing i and he thought that aftei pro-

The • CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
spoke.to Order. He could not sit still and hear -ohser.-
cations of this kind upon the question before the
House. There watio. motion by-which the Charac-
rer of the Hen: Captain was at all at issue. He was
sure that the Right Hon. Gentleman would not com-
plier of the interrtiption, but would rather be dis-
posed to thank him for preventing tbitirregularity.
The SPEAKER said, that he thought it difficult
to determine what were the precise limits of order on
the occasion ; but of this he was sure, that by abitain
ing froM piirsuing the debate in that manner, the
House would best consult its own dignity.
Mr. SHERIDAN resumed, that he did not wish
to complain, but he must insist that he was' strictly
in order. The Right Honourable arid Learned Gen-
tleman
had intimated that there was not a Single in-
stance tole prodtieed of • the misapplication of these
Admiralty Droits. An Honourable Gentleman had
informed the House of a most flagrant abuse in this
department, and with perfect regularity. He (Mr.
Sheridan) was commenting upon it. It was not a
mere matter of vague and idle rumour—it was a fact
established in a Court of Record, beyond the poisibi-
lity of contradiction. He would say one word as to
the genuine object of the motion—it was not to know
the amount, but the application of it. If this produce
were unquestionably the right of his Majesty, and
the sum . were insignificant, no examination would:
be necessary ; but if, in consequence of the bellige-
rent state of Europe, it had risen to an immense
amount, it was discreet to enquire, not only to ascer-
tain its•preriOus extent and appropriation, but to de-
termine if such a fimd ought to continue in fir hands
of the Crown, independent of the
,salutary controul,
of Parliament. He himself was not-disposed to ob-
ject to the grants of a portion of these jars corona to
khe younger branches of - the Royal Family; but he'
lthought the concession ought tole extended higher.
'He should have approved of the application of some
part of the fund tO Ins Royal. Highness the Prince of
Wales, whose claims on the Duchy of Cornwall re-
anain unadjusted.
i The JUDGE ADVOCATE said, that withregard
tt, o the grant to the Hon. Captain, he thought,
after
!what had been said, that it was necessary he should
;give some explanation. (A cry of Order! Order 1)
!If it were not esteemed to be reg:ular, he would not •
obtrude the subject upon the House. Whether. the
Hon. Captain did right or wrong, he established hini-
self at Ostend, and. went from thence to India on a
mercantile speculation, and he was perhaps liaßlitii
the prohibitory laws, as chargeable with the violation
of the Charter of the India Company. His being
there was however known to the highest Officers of
Government, and he was countenanced, it being the
adopted policy of the India Company to encourage
the exportaticn of their commodities in foreign bot-
toms. Amidit the cries, of Order on every side,
Mr. TIERNEY rose, • to request that the Learned
Gentleman would confine himself to facts, and spate
all comment.
'The SPEAKER desired the Right Hon. and
Learned Membe'r to confine his remarks to Mere nit.
ter of explanation: It was the 1144 of the Reuse Iti
avoid dilating on such occasions'!'~_. ..
