SIR lOSEPiI YORKE.
Mr. WHITBREAD sashed tO put a question:to the
Right Hun Gentleman (Mr..Yorkti) as the First.
Lind of the Admiralty, respecting a report which
was ssettained tit the• papers, matins that Sir Joseph
Yorke had hoisted his flag, and sailed on a toreign
, statioa. Was that report true, and to what statiou
had he sailed ?
Mr. YORKE replied, it was certainly true that
his Honothauleltelative had hoisted his flag, and
sailed to a particular' tiestinatiolt, which he was
not at liberty to ,di.clotie. At tha same lime,
the Ifonouraole Gentleman would not give ere•
dim to all thoaccounta which he saw in the public
papers.
Mr. WHITBREAD wished to know whether the
Gallant °Meer had vacated his seat at the Ad.
intralty.
Mr. YORKE replied that be had not.
Mt. WHITEHEAD then observed, that as the,des-
tittation
,t he Gallaot °dicer might perhaps detain
him long flom home, and as • it was necessary the
Councils of the Admiralty Board should be eons-
view, he should feel it.,l4s duty, on. a to
move, as in the; case of Lord Wellington, that the
,space of the Gallant Officer at the .Board should

iru-

cIituULANNG MEDIUM BILL.
. .
The CHANCELLOR of the ILXCHEIHUER • rose to,
move she tirat reading of tin. lid just brought
Irons . the House of Lords. 1'1u). House, ;he
,erved, must .be
.awaie that the Lords had patiied;
'a Bill for preventieg the Current Coin of the Ite,alm
from being paid or accepted at .a greater price than
the current value, and also for preventing the de-,
predation of the Notes of the ti.overnor and Coin-
, piny ut the Bank of England, by passing them at a
lesser value than their ,tioitenal value purported to
ire. The Bill also had a farther objeCi,,via. to 'pre-
vent any unnecespary and vexatious arrest or dis-
tress by landlords, as, the creditors upon the tail,"
ure of the. debtor to , comply '.with their
.demands-
;of payment,,, in gold of their respetilve debts,-
--I.llelore be flashed that the Bill beleadas first time,
it *Olll4 e heceriary 'for to , state the reasot is
which, had induced his colleagues and himself to re-
commend .tuts,: (originating with a Noble
Earl) to use adoption of the House. He had' to as.
sure thou, that it was With t lie, greatest reltiaattee'
be found hot self compelled to take this course at SO
.late a 'period of the Session, But,under all the.cir!,.,
eutnsintices of the case, and considering the cause.
which more immediately led to its being introduced
elsewhere, he felt couhdent that the House would
agree with him, in,,thieking that suing measure of
the kind was lissol9tely neves.sary, fur the sake of
&p
public ity. It must be aiieurceof regret to ell,
that me necessity for •sticii a measure should exitit at
anytime,Lbut more particularly tiO.velnitt the public
business .wascuticluded. That regret Was, however,
greatlyinere,asetl, when-it was recolletted, that, far
the,last fourteen years public credit bad. been up-
held witlurt any measure of the kind;
.and it cer,
mainly would appear truadvisable, when the House
recollected the trials which the, cutettry bad under-
gone, the events that hut aczurre I, and the exer-
tions that .had been made during the whole of itiat
long period to support the credit 'of the country.—
fie thust, therefore, admit, that it was a .measure to
tie approttet(ed with caution, and his Majesty's Ali-
nisters telt the greatest reptlgnai;ce to Olin it tuf-
ward. It was become
iinstitiable Iroirs impe'rioes tie-
cessity,'ot which lie could slioitlisatistythe Hease:,
A siioet. time sauce a Nobleman (Lord "King) of
high.rank in the:State, and'of considerable. landed
property, thought it.,eXpedient to give notice fa his
tenants .that. ho would nut receive any other pap.
went tor his rents than gold of Batik notes, to-be
taken by.'llln it R..... This. entice had been given
only ten Alga, berole-rent.-day. Whether that no-
LiCq UlOl, was not platter of inoch

pute any die Noble Lord lot it bet the.

and 1116 re :iilarining in the coaseetiences
which might aliona sack notices trotil other land-
if 4ny Such landlords chiposed Jo pro-
ceed. When the conclua of Ilse Noble Lord was
first under cousideration, the impression which he
felt was, that did not exist 'any occisibn fur a
Parliamentary meaesure on the huujea, and that it
would of.course, tie better to leave the SyStvill which
had been persuea tbr tourteeti years, to support itself
can its ownolertts, convieced as he had been, and
was, that
.the good Sense and patriotssnt of the
country would easily see the necessity for
ing from the Coirae of the Nimble Lord. Unfortu-
timely, however, that, impression he was obliged to
the greateat teluctance. The Noble
Lord's measure,creattve as H was of some alarm, atid
produCtive of whatever, feelings it might upon his
&mod, was .grounded; upuu oven 'considerations,
Which duly to the public would not allow him to pass
by. , Wend that it. was not merely. alie act of an
itisuhied .bat that the measure, had re-
ceived the countenance and support of other Noble
Loida of great,' property its the State: Hs. toUtid.

that litstead of thtseeNoble Lords endertvcheing lei
dissuade him from persevering in, his anion, and
giving by theircondnct a [tuft of &ante enance to
it, they were affording to hire. theitiup, Orr, not only
privetely but publicly, and by a :lineeof conduct
which they were at liberty to• pursue, raising an
alarm nut easily to be reconciled with the confidence
which the experience of fourteen years had pro-
duced. With , that impression he (Mr. P.) con-
ceived that tile Noble Lord would have been tn.
disposed fur carrying into practice what he. bad ero-
mised upon ncm.cotupliance with the demand. How
then must bis surprise be excited, when instead of
the line of conduct he, bad, at brit supposed they
would adopt, to learn that they imitated' more the
conduct of pedlars, Jews, and smugglers.. That the
conduct ofJew pedlars and stnngglers was timilar, was,
not to be dented, for unless suco persons were cone
cerned, there could not a vase have =weed in four.
teen years like the Noble Lord's. It the Noble.
Lord's example might nut have been followed, then
he Should have abstained team countenancing this
measure; but whcu he found that. the Noble Lord's
Friends not only geve to hint their countenance, but
dteended, maintained, justifier, and even peep-
riled his conduet, it then indeed was expedient to
notice the subjea. Besides, these Nebte Lords pos-
sessed great landed property in the Stale, and
..were
• a spit of monopolizers of all the talentaethe virtues,
and Statesineit4ike qualities which belong to public
men:. .When ehey therefore came forward in sup.
porteof .such conduit, when they. Sanctioned the
Noble Lurtr.s endeavours, it was impossible to pass
them nver. in silence, mid not imegine that eeey too
might, as , well as others in the country, follow his.
example.: Jo sayitig
.1 bus much, he did not. mean
'tu contend that the Noble Lord was not. tiding a
part ;whiclehe -was perfectly at liberty to.ael, but it
was a part which, in its conseqhences, might eettee
tually entail great :inconveniences in a public point,
elf view, and .herefore called for the observatioteofe
Parliament. He could not conceive, teehe present_
situation' of affairs, eteAtt of more peril tothe course,
try ; • or which ealled upon theni,mpre.. imperiously:
by some legislative provision to prevent the mise
chief which -might, ultimately ensue. Tl4o. Right,
Hon. Gentleman. observed, that it bad been urged.
by: certaiti,:persestw as mutter of reproach, that, thy.
GoverotThent had not talon the step of preveeting,
the depreciation: in the value of paper, which these
So tinging contend does exi-t. The opinion whiele
he then entertained ,was, that there was no necessity
fora measure of the. kind, conceiving eliet,no such
depreciation would` beeattemplud.
„That opinion,
however; he was now sorry to , see diaoppointedi
Indeed it .was the suggestion of the, Bullion
Committee, to extend the restriOicio
.of the
ink Note Bill to Iwo yeasts,
,atillead of itut
months. When any of the 149P9sitLognol
the 'incompetent Govertenente ot, which he (were
P.) formed a pelt, were submitted to the House,
they were met by the Cc/eh:men opposite with dise

to issue. It would be an act of tho_ woe/est Moss
Ace to permit ,oatt part Of the people. to call for pay.
