MR. JUSTICI TOX.

!ot d WALSINGHAM, as Chairman of the Com-
m r -e, to which the complaints againft Mr. Plaice
are referred, rote to propofe to their Lordfhips,
:ave (hould he given to that Committee to re-
: - from time to time. This was not the moment
to: laying any thing on the queßions which had come
under the confideration of the Committee. It was
fufficient for him to obferve, that the inveßigation
WAS purfued with that attention which its importance
merited—but the cafe being no leis novel than im-
portant, the Committee was defirous that they might
have the opportunity of obtaining the inflrueliona of
the Houle, when it might appear to them necdrary '
to Tern on any particular point. He therefore
moved, that the Committee appointed to confider of
the charges againft Mr. Jußice Fox, have leaie to I
report from time to time fuch parts of the evidence
as may appear to them to be of filch a nature, that
if fubflantiated by proof at the Bar of that Houfe,
would form a fit ground for an addicts to remove the
perfon complained of.
Lord CARLISLE thought it unneceffary to give
this power. He laid it would be much better if n 1
Report was made until the Committee should come
to a decifion on the whole of the quellions before
them, and walled their Lorcifhips to agree to give
the Committee an infirtglion to that effea. At any
rate, if pat tial reports were to be permitted, he hop-
ed it would be underftond, that no proceeding would
be intlituted upon them by the Houfe, until their
Lordihips had an opportunity of confidering the
whole. Ir the Committee were to be confidered in
the maul a Grand Jury, tbcy ought not to re-
turn one Bill until they had gone through the whole.

Lord HAWKES6URY—obferved, that the mo-
tion propoted did not affea the question Rated by the
Noble Earl. The Committee might report or not,
as they thought fit, and their Lordfltips would alfo
be at liberty, if any report,fhould be made, to defer
taking it into confederation until the Committee had
gone through the whole of its inveßigation. There
might be cafes, however, in which it would be ne-
eeffary to report oecafionally ; and he could fuppufe
cafes, in which great public inconvenience and pri-
•ate injußice would atife, were fuch a power not to
be granted.
Lord CARLISLE explained.
Lord GRENVILLE only agreed to the prefent
motion, becaufe he conceived it did not preclude the
queßion of, whether the Committee (bold make par-
tial reports ; or, whether the Houfe °zooid proceed
to the confideration of thefe reports, before the inver
tigation of the Committee was concluded
The LORD CHANCELLOR expreffed his con-
currence in this lag opinion.
The motion was then put and agreed to.
•
THE BOCK-YARDS.

Earl FORTESCUE rote, in conformity to the no-
fce he had given, to bring forward a motion, which
appeared to him of great importance, as it concern.
ed the public fervice. It would be neceffary for
him to detain their Lordfhips but a very Mort time,
while he detailed the circumfiances that had given
rife to it. In the fpring of 180 t, when the price of
Corn was high, he was called upon, in his official ca-
pacity of Lord Lieutenant of the county of Devon,
to adopt meafures, in confequence of open ads of
violence having been committed. He found, how-
ever, that thole diQurbances arofe from other caufes
than the high price of provifions. In the dock-yard
at Plymouth they had become the more dangerous,
as a communication was maintained with other parts
through the means of delegates and that fort of ma-
chinery. He could nor fatisfy his mind without 'com-
municating to Government the refult of his own ob.
fervation. A Noble Duke (Portland) who then fil-
led the office of Secretary of State, wiffied to avail
himself of fuch local information as he (Lord For-
tcicuei could obtain. He would not trefpafs upon
their Lordthips' time by very minute-details, hot
woula fhorily Rate, that he alto received from the
Nohlt Lord (St. Vincent) who at that time prefided
at the Admiralty, information that three Commif-
iloners of the Navy would affociate with him for the
purpole of enquiring into the confpiracy in the
Dock yard. The refult of the moft impartial and
patient enquiry they could make was, that from
t to to iso men were difcharged from it. This Rep
was followed by inflrudions being given to all the
other dock yards, that none of the peifons thus dif
miffed fbould be received into them. He had, how-
ever, lately heard, that many of there people had,
notwithilanding, been again admitted into the King's
service. He therefore telt it a public duty, in confe-
lisence of the flare he had had in the tranfaelion, to
bring the fubjed before their Lordfhips, on account
nr. •:)e great danger which molt attend fuch an ex-
He mutt alfo add, that he felt fomething due
.o tie late Board of Admiralty, and a Noble Earl,
!3t. Vincent,) whom he hoped he might likewife call
qiis friend. He thought it jug that they fhould not
lay under the imputation of having wined out fuch
a number of perfons, except from a rooted convic-
tion that it would be incompatible with the public
texvice for them to aft otherwife. It was not his with
to grtuad any proceedirg upon the motions he was
ibotit to fabmit ; but he fhould leave it to their
L.ordlhips to ad as they might think proper. The
noble Earl concluded with moving, firß, for " A
Lift of the Artticers difcharged by the Navy Board
'n tBot,in confequence of the Mutiny ;" Secondly,
" A Lid of the Artificers fc difcharged, who had
Ince been admitted into his Majelly's Dock yards."
Vifu.unt MELVILLE begged to apologize to
‘;ir Lordfhips, for his abfcnce yefterday. He was
..;t aware of the motion, and w.u, in the country.—

He deemed it unneceffary to enter into much detail
onthis occafinn. TheNobleMoverhad,in thisinflance.
only aped with the fame candour that bad always dif
tinguifhed him. Nothing certainly could redound
more to his credit than the produdion of the papers ;
at the fame time, he thought the revival of the buti-
nefs might produce much mifchief, and could do no
good. If it was intended that the prodaton of the
papers called for, (hould lead to any further proceed.
ing, he would will; to know what that proceeding was.
Hemight then, probably,bringforwardother circum-
(lances. He could not content to the produCtion of
the documents in the form they had been moved for.
He would fuggea to the Noble Lord (Fond-cue), that
it was not neceffary to obtain the name: of the perfons
who had been difmilfed ; the *umber would be fuffi-
tient, without any fpecification. They were, perhaps,
fcattered over the kingdom; at leaf he hoped they
were fill in it, notwitbftanding what had been laid
to their charge. He thought their names ought not
to be handed about the Dock-yards. They might,
perhaps, have been perfeEtly replar fence. He ob-
jelted to the term of Mutiny, which bad been applied,
and did not think that fuch an epithet was bellowed
at the time. The Delegates came to London, had
conferences with the Navy Board, and returned back.
Afterwards, when the ditturbances in Devonlhire
broke our, both parties were connected together. He
fhould offer no farther obfervations.
The Earl of ST. VINCENT expreffed his opinion
that the confiderations adverted to by the Noble
Earl were of great importance, and the country was
highly indebted to him for his conduCt upon the oc-
cation ; were it not for the temperate and firm tone
of his meafores, the whole county of Devon would
be, he believed, not only in a Rate of difturbance,
but in atflual rebellion. At the fame time it was fair
to fay, that the exertions of the Noble Earl were
very well and effectually feconded by Lieutenant-
General Simcoe and other officers. It was well
known to the Noble Lord on the Woolfack, and to
the Secretaries of State, that what be then anted
was founded in truth.

Earl FORTESCUE fhortly replied to Lord Mel
vale, and was inclined to be fatisfied with having the
Nursikr of the artificers. He fufpeaed that many had
changed their names.
Earl ST. VINCENT witted that the name: might
be laid before the Houle.

Vifcount MELVILLE then moved his amend-
ment, that the words" names of" &mid be omitted,
and that there fhould be inferted, innead, " number
of, with their defcriptions." The queltion was then
carried.

Lord CAMDEN laid on the table, by command
of his Majefty, certain Papers relative to the Military
Defence of the Country.
On the motion of Lord DARNLEY, their Lord-
(hips were ordered to be fummoned for Tuefday next.
Lord KING moved, that there be laid before the
Houk copies of the depoUtions of certain State Pri-
foners in the Jail of Kilmainbam, before thofe of his
Majefty's Judges of Ireland, who fat for that pur-
pofe.

Lord HAWKESBURY doubted whether this mo-
tion could be agreed to with fafety to the public, and
wilhed the Noble Lord to pollpone it until to-morrow.
Lord KING obferved, that from what had already
paired refpating motions which he had been requefl•
ed to pollpone, he felt very little encouragement to
I delay the prefent.
Lord HAWKESBURY faid, that fence the Noble
Lord perfifted in his motion, he would not propofe
that it fhould be negatived, but would merely move
as an amendment, that the Houfe do now adjourn.
Lord GRENVILLE thought it incumbent on the
Houle to agree to this motion, as its objed was to
enquire into the fituation of perfons who were fuffer-
ing imprifonment in confequence of their Lordthips
having agreed to furpend the Habeas Corpus AEI.-
1 Would their Lordthips fo far abandon all enquiry, as
not to examine into the filtration of the public pri-
fons ? It fuch an examination was at all times their
duty, it was particularly fo at the prefent moment,
when there prifons were filled by the aft of their Lord-
fhips.
The LORD CHANCELLOR obferved, that one
of the reafons for which the Sufpenfion of the Habeas
Corpus AR was to be regretted, was, that it fre-
quently rendered it improper to give information,
which, under other circumßances, would be readily
granted. He did not oppofe the motion from a with
to rejea it, but merely to obtain time to learn what
was his duty refpeEting•it.
The Earl of DERBY expreffed his furprife, that
the motion of his Noble Friend thould be refuted.—
It was the duty of the perfons prefent to know, whe-
ther it was fit to grant the information required?—lt
was a very extraordinary cafe indeed, if the Secre
tar; of State could not fay at that moment, whether
or not it was proper to agree to the motion.
Lord HAWKESBURY again urged the neceffity
of his taking time to confider of a motion of this na-
ture. Before he could agree to it, he would think
it his duty to confult thofe who had the fulleft infor-
mation on the fubjeft, and to form an opinion how far
it would be proper, fhould the motion be agreed, to
accompany the paper, when produced, with other
documents. The pradice of haftily acquiefcing in
motions of this kind, had been often produftive of
bad confecrences. Information had in this manner
been frequently difclofed, which it would have been
for the advantage of the public to have withheld ; it
would therefore have been a fufficient reafon for ob-
jetting to the prefent motion that no previous no-
tice had been given by the Noble Lord, were it not
necefrary that enquiry Ibould be made in order to af-
certain how far it wits proper to agree to it all. In
the mean time as he did not pretend to declare that
the motion was unfit to be adopted, he had not pro
pofed that it thould be negatived, but merely that it
(ho uld be delayed.
The queftion was then put, and Lord Hawkelbnry's
amendment, that the Houk do now adjourn, carried.
Adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6.

Mt. SHUMAN'S MOTION FOR THI lIIPEIII. OF THI

ADDITIONAL DEFENCE ACT.

Mr. SHERIDAN rat, and (poke nearly to the
following effai :—" I rife, Sir, in. p:irfuance of the
notice I gave, to firbmit to.the Houle a motion for
the 'repeal of a Bill, pat Ted lall Seffion of Parlia-
ment, intituled An Aet for the Additional De-
fence of the Kingdom, &c." I choofe to give the
whole of the title of this Bill, rather than to be flu-
dious of brevity, though it might certainly give me
an opportunity of complimenting.the feelings of the
Right Hon. Gentleman, by defcribing it in its ufual
appellation, as Mr. Pitt's Parith Defence Bill. When
I gave my notice of this motion, I could not help
obterving, that it appeared to excite fome furprife on
the part of fome Gentlemen oppofite; a furprife not
unmixed with marks of difapprobation of a nature
not the molt orderly. I have been endeavouring to
account for thefe fymptoms of furprize and difap-
probation. Did the Honourable Gentlemen con-
ceive that my motion arofe merely from the thought
of the moment ; from being piqued at the Right
Hon. Gentleman's filence ; from the lofs of a de-
bate on the occafion of the motion of my Right Ho-
nourable Fliend on this fide the Houfe ? Did they
imagine that we confidered the fpeech of my Right
Hon. Friend, a fpeech in which fo full, able, and
luminous a view of the fubjeft was taken, was fo
feebly fuftained, and fo ably and completely anfwer-
ed by a Right Hon. Friend of mine on the oppofite
bench, that we withed for a little time to rally and
get breath before we renewed the attack? Or did thofe
Hon. Gentlemen conceive it to be extremely dike-
(ocelot to the Right Honourable the Chancellor of
,the Exchequer, who appeared to be fo reludtant and
fo bafhfnl when an attempt was made to bring him
to take a part in a difcuffion, that I Mould (hive to
force him into another opportunity of a fimilar kind ?
I do not doubt, Sir, that it muff have been molt un-
pleafant to thofe Gentlemen to have teen their Right
Honourable Friend wincing and writhing under the
&ill and force of the attack made upon him, and the
mortification he mull have felt at the necetTary fee-
blends of the anfwer, that it was uncourteous and
uncivil in us not to take thehint,antlto decline preffing
him any further. But the duty every Member of
this Houfe owes to his own fituation, and to the pub-
lic, ought at all times to overcome mere matters of
perfonal feeling. It may, indeed, Sir, be Lfaid, by
thofe who choofe to objett to my motion, that the
military defence of this country, and all the mea-
fures relating to it, form a fubjeet on which there is
fcarcely any thing new to fay. If this thould be Paid
by any Hon. Member, I 111311 give him credit for the
remark, for the whole fubjeEt was undoubtedly treat-
ed by my Right Hon. Friend in fo mafterly and per
fpicuous a manner, that little indeed could be added
to what he Rated on a former occafion to the Houfe:
but if in the courfe of his fpeech, then, my Right
Honourable Friend, in reviewing the general Rate
of our military eliablifhwents, either for defence
or offence, incidentally touched upon this Bill, and
expo(ed its errors alid its diladvantages, and its
total inefficiency, I am hill left at perfeet liberty
to move fur the Repeal of that Bill, which was
one, among many other of thofe meafures which
he confidered an object of his difapprobation.—
Having mentioned fome of thole caufes to which
I might attribute the marks of furprife I have al-
ready fpoken of, there is but one more to which
&all allude. As this Bill was introduced for the
profefied purpofe of bringing forward the Ipirit and
ftrength of the country at this urgent cries, it may
be thought inconfiffent that I thould move the repeal
of it, confidering the principle in which it is fuppofed
to .have originated, or indeed of any AEI profelhing
fuck an object. I know it has, of late years, been

From the documents altogether, Paid the Hon. Mem-
there refults an augmentation of the whole body
of the army of only 11,469 men, making the whole
difference between the returns of force of the two
years, and confequently the sum of the efforts of the
prefent Adminifiration. But you are to confider,
that of the increafe, 7000 men are in the Foreign
Corps, and 4000 in the cavalry. We find, however,
that in the Britifh infantry, there is a deficiency of
853 men. Surely the Ceylon troops are not in fair.
nefs to be reckoned. Indeed, augmentation in that
quarter cannot juilly be taken into the account for'
Minillers, fince,with the increafe of diflant territories
it becomes a matter of neceffity to increafe the
troops. To call this an afloat extent-ion of your dif-
pafable force, is a downright fallacy. But what we
do find, Sir, is this ; that there is a pofitive decreafe
in that particular branch of the military force, which
it was the peculiar and boated objea of this bill to
increafe. To what was this Bill particularly to
apply ? Was it to the railing of troops at Ceylon ?
Was it to the Black Corps ? W 45 it to an addition of
German Legions ? No ! It was to augment greatly
the numbers of the Briti(h infantry 1 Has it done fo ?
Has it produced the promifed and defired augmen-
tation ? No ! And if there be any increafe upon the
whole, it is not the Right Hon. Gentleman, but it is
his predecelfor, who has the right to claim the merit.
It is he who was at the head of that wretched, inca-
pable, naufeous, milk and water adminiltration, with
whore laurels the Right Hon. Gentleman attempts to
adorn hirnfelf. I mutt therefore fay that Gentlemen
should be inclined to retraa thofe fevere and taunt-
ing cxpreflions againft the late Adminiaration, on a
comparifon of their merits with thofe of the prefent
Miniflers. I know it was aid, that let thofe Mini-
tiers go when they would, worfe could not follow.—
Some others, as well as myfelf, were of a different
opinion. We thought that worfe could follow, and
we think now that worfe have followed them. We
may now prefume to think, that we were then in the
right. We (aid, infinitely worfe may fucceed men
who would perform their promifes much worfe, and
keep far lets good faith with this Honk and with the
country. By what means have they railed the in-
create of 4000 horfe, but by the railing of men for
rank? Did the prefent Miniflers introduce that? No!
And the fame rank holds good as to the Foreign
Corps. Whatever merit, therefore, is afcribable to any
perfon for the augmentation of our military force, is
not at all owing to the Right Hon. Gentleman, or his
boafled Bill, but it is owing to the; Noble Lord now at
the head of his Majefty's Councils." (A load cry of
hear I hear I front she Otivfisioss Beaches.) Mr. Sheridan
proceeded. " Perhaps I have made a mitlake. I
mean the Noble Lord, now Prefident of the Conn
cil. (A loud laugh.) I don't know whether he is
at the head of his Majelly's Councils or not, that
might be a minake ; I don't enquire into that mat-
ter. It is not now of material confequence, whether
he is fo, or not. But Ido fay, that if any thing has
been done to enable the Right Hon. Gentleman to
make any grand exploit, any attack on the enemy'sl
poffeffions, the merit is not due to him, but to my
Lord Sidmouth. Whatever returns may appear
from the Right Hon. Gentleman's own Bill, they
can have no effell ,• but it is molt ludicroully clear
that his Bill has failed, completely failed 1 And, Sir,
what does appear? Why, it appears that the 51 coun-
ties of England and Wales have jointly, under the
operation of this formidable Additional Defence Ad,
produced 1,295 men ; that out of this number there
have deferted, or have been difcharged, 266 men,
leaving 1,076 effeeive foldiers. And it further ap-
pears, that out of this number railed throughout all
England, by the moR extraordinary means ; by all
thofe grand efforts, of which we heard fo much ; by
local influence aad attachments ; by honk/the& feel-
ings, and a thonfand other operations, aflitled and
enforced by Jullices and Churchwardens, and all de.
fcriptions of par& officers, I fuppofe not lets than
40,000 men at work altogether, at work to raife a
few more than tOOO men; there have been procured
no more than 343 men to enter forgaseralfervice; that
is to fay, Sir, that the gentleman has, with all his
machinery, been enabled to raife after the rate of four
men and a quarter for each county in England I In
Scotland, it teems, 267 men have been procured, out
of which 43 have gone for general fervice. In Ire-
land, where the parith officers alone have done this
bufinefs. they have got 1 oft r ; but there, Sir, the zeal
has flopped. Ido not find that one of thefe has en-
tered for the general fervice. It does appear from a
particular examination of the whole matter, upon
abundant proof, that the Ron Officers are much
worfe agents, with all the local and sympathetic en-
gines, for railing men for the army, than the Regi.
mental Recruiters. It appears that they have not
been fo folicitous to give the King a good foldier, as
they have been to get rid of a vagrant. Hence in one
county (Lancashire, we believe, the Honourable
Member mentioned) there have been 255 deficient by
defertion or otherwile. Where the Gentleman's own
influence was particularly directed, eleven men were
procured, all of whom deferted, and that particular
diarid where his own authority and popularity are
In abounded, where all the people admire him as a
General, as much as they venerate him as a politician
and a Statefinan—l mean the Cinque Ports, the fpot
of his own refidence, he has contrived fo far to (Li-
mulate martial policy as to have been able to raife

nary man ;he mutt be a very Hercules. He is an
extraordinary recruit indeed—
At isle two eft.'

(Loyd 10,46i5r.)—1 remember a (tory of a favourite
blind horse of Lord Donegan's. Somebody called
out, " Where is Lord Donegall's blind boric

HO, (Cays a man) I am Lord Donegall's blind
hods !"—(Laugh.)—Why, Sir, when the men come
to be examined from this part of the country, and
the enquiry is made where is Inch and fuch a corps
of recruits ? and the men appear, it may be a(ked,
"4 Where are the Cinque-Ports Additional Defence
Men?" Up comes the man—" Here, here we are,"
rays he—" I am the Cinque-Ports Corps !"—(Laugh).
" Here am I ;" and a moll extraordinary perfun he
no doubt mull be! But, to be ferious, if ever
there was a Bill framed for the purpofe of difgracing
its author, this is that Bill. I am not difpofed to
refute credit to every man for his zeal, according to
his ability, in our prefent fituation, to do fomething
for the country ; but after the mai:deflations of the
inefficiency of this Bill, it is grange in the extreme,
that any Gentleman fhould think of paufing upon the
quellion for the repeal of this ablitrd meafure, this
public cheat, this beggar that thrufis himfelf into
every parifh in the kingdom, and turns bully and
crimp—" put me down twenty pounds in a certain
place—you (hall hear about it."—Really, when we
are talking of the penalties to be inflicted on parifhes
for their inefficiency, 'it Teems much more rational to
think about levying a penalty on the Members of the
Privy Council, or that Minitiets of the Cabinet who
are but a Committee of the Privy Council, for (hew-
ing their incompetency to carry into effeß their own
rneafures ; I mean at lea% while the prefent Miniilers
remain in power.
44 Now. sir, the argument we have heard, and
which, I fuppofe, we than hear again, for want of a
better, is, ' Give the Bill a fair trial.' 'Why, what
is meant by this ? As a Bill to attain its objed ex
peditioufly, the time is over. 1 have heard lately of
many expedients to accelerate the progrefs of troops
by land-carriages. Machines have been devifed, on
which four planks may be laid, and you may mount
the foldiers upon them, and off they go. But then,
fuppofe a new great projector comes : I am the man
to carry your troops with expedition ; drive away all
that nonfenfe ; I will do it for you' Well, we truly
to him, and he undertakes to carry a number of
your foldiers on his new invention, to Wincifor, and
back again to town, fey in fix hours: the time
dapfes. Well, has he got back ? No ! —Where is
he ? Somewhere about Kenfington ?—Then he'll be
back again loon ?—No !—What is the matter ? Oh,
he has not got any further on his way to Wind-
for; but never mind, do not complain; let him
take a little time ; he is .in no hurry about it ;
give the fchemer Come more time, and a fair trial
(a loud laughs. There is another man (hews me a
very curious gun, well mounted, a hair trigger,
and every thing very complete. Try it ; it is the
find} piece in the world for (hooting; but then,
upon trial it won't go off ; it hangs fire. What can I
do with it? Oh I never mind, this is rather damp
weather. Keep it a little longer. Suppofe you keep
it fix months, and give it a fair trial! (a laugh)—
Really, Sir, the mode of proceeding adopted by Gen-
lemen oppofite, upon this Bill is fomething like laugh-
ing at the Houfe."*They bad better call it a tax-bill
at once, and defend it on that ground, though that
was never profeffed to be its objed. If it wo'nt do for
one thing, it may do fur another. If it cannot attain
its intended objed, it will Serve fur a different one.—
Heres a (word and a fhield ! If the (Meld cannot be
ufed for its proper ufes, it will make a fifh kettle, and
the (word may be turned into a Soup-ladle! (a laugh)
Now it is jolt the fame thing with the Right Hoo.
Gentleman's Bill. It will not anfwer for recruiting
the Bridal army, but it may be a notable finance
meafure. But pray do not venture to fay, that for
all its profeffed ends, it has not totally failed. My
Right Hon. Friend oppofite thought we were in
fuch a date as entitled us to overlook this failure ;
but he wi(bed us to fee the increafed Rate of our
Naval Force. Now, I fay, we have not added one
man to the efficient force of the military department
of our navy. I Cay, that in that point we are not
equal to the Rate in which the Earl of St. Vin-
cent, the late' Firtt Lord of the Admiralty, left
us. The force he left us, I affert, was fuperior
to our prefent force, for the protection of our
Trade and for the annoyance and chailifement
of our enemies. If you examine impartially
and carefully all this trash of fifty additional flips
of war, you will find more than thirty of them old
broken down Welt India vefrels, and others of a
fimilar defcription, bought in the River. One of
them got to the Downs, but could not keep the tea
any longer ; another, a fifty gun (hip, an old
Weil-
Indian, was broken backed in the River, and was re-
ported in that Rate, but was purchafed neverthe-
lefs, and others of them are (till in the River.—
One went out neither fit to go to tea nor to ride at
anchor. She went without her convoy, not becaufe
they could not keep up with her, but becaufe the
was quite unmanageable. Such is our new addi-
tional Naval Force. But in fad we difmantled (even
fail of the line and Several frigates. The number
of our Marines is inereafed by only gOOO men.—
When you take the flight trouble of confidering
what was the great increafe made by the Noble
Earl during his administration of the Naval Affairs,
and compare it with what has been done Since, after
all the boaß you made, and aU the charges you
beard, the performances of the prefent Administra-
tion fink to ridicule. Why does not the Right Hon.
Gentleman put his affertiuns to the tell? Why does
he not bring forward an examination of the condo&
of the late Board of Admiralty ? While he refufes
to come to that tell, how unjunifiabie is it in him,
to Rate in this }lnure, to the prejudice of that gal-
lant veteran Officer, that all he has heard, and all
he has read, and all he has teen, convinced him of
the juffice and propriety of the accufations he had
made, when he arraigned in this Houfe the conduct
of the Noble Earl's Naval Adminiftration ? On
this fubjed I do not wilts to Cay any more at prefent.
But he mutt obferve, that if the evil hour thould
ever come when Government would find it necefrary
to call upon that noble and gallant Admiral again
to hoift his flag, not more for the terror and difgrace
of our foes, than for the benefit of his example
throughout the Briti(h Navy, by his (kill and valour,
and his aria obfervarice of that difcipline, which is
Ib effentially neceffary to the exittence of our fleets,
and of which he himfelf is fo decided an inftance, in
his own rigorous obfervance and his Pelf devotion to
the Service, they will be deeply and folemnly refpon.
fible for having fent out that Naval Hero with all the
impreffions they have made, by endeavours to lower
his character in the eyes of the Navy, by fending
him out calumniated, and half difgraced and dit-

heartened (u far as they could), to the fleet, with
the name of a harth, rigorous, oppreffive tyrant.
" It is not neceffery to call to your reeolledion
the many boans and promifes of the Author of this
Bill. The. Bill itfelf is full of fimilar prefumption.
It profeffes to raife 85,000 men, and it proceeds upon
this great point, as if there could be no doubt upon
the accomplifhment of it. So full of confidence is
it, that in the fecond year of its operation you are to
proceed to fill up all the vacancies. Vacancies, by
what ? Why by the enliftments into the general ler-
vice I It is quite lure about this; and upon the next,
that is, the third year. having atfained this grand
object, it grows rather moderate after being to far
fatisfied. Having got all this amazing run, of men
into the army. what then ? We won't exhao// the
country; and then it muddily limits its exertions,
and lays, ' provided the nember than not exceed
9,000 men' Then the parilhes are to recruit in their ,
immediate neighbourhood, arid to fpecify whence
each recruit comes. If the Government lhould choefe
to make this a mere Tax Bill, there is nothing to
hinder them, and they make all the parithes in the
kingdom delinquents. It would be a new and curi-
ous tight to fee all the parilhes in the kingdom pro-
fecuted in the Court of Exchequer under this famous
Bill. The Right Honourable Gentleman altered
this part of his meafure, in adapting it to the cafe of
Ireland, but he would not confent to put England on
the Irifh footing. The Gentleman, however, con-
tended all along that it was a Bill to raife the men,
and not the money. Now there is a claufe to prevent
that, if he pleafes, and it is become quite manifest,
that it cannot raife the men. He can fine every
where. Well, do we know what he may make of
that money he choofes to raife in this manner? What
will he do with all his fines? What if he choofes to
change his Recruit Bia ire° a new and arbitrary,
unjult, unprincipled, and atrocious tar on the landed
interea of the country, for the purpole of creating
a new fund ? How do we know to what purpofe he
may apply it ?
Sir, I have already obferved, that in the opinion
of fome pertons it teems as if there were fometLing
of a very peculiar nature in the prefent Adminiltre-
lion that gave them a title to an unbounded confi-
dence from this Houle and from the country, that
no ad of their's thould b. marked with reprehenfion,
and that we ought not to feel the fame fulpicions at
the failure of their plans, as we ought to have done
refpeding the condud and meafures of the late filly,
imbecile, infignificant Minitters. Now, in what
confifts all this boafted improvement, and where
are the merits of this great change ? A change has
been made, it is true. Many Ge olemen expreffed
their defire, at this crifis of the affairs of the nation,
to fee an Adminiftration founded on a broad and
comprehenfive balls, combining all the great talents,
genius, and experience of the glen public cherafters
of this country. It was not only the with of Par.
liament, but it was, I believe, the with, hope, and
expedation of almoft every man in the kingdom.
I give to my Right Honourable Friend opponto
(Mr. Canning) full credit for his fincerity in the
willies he expreffed, and the part he took for the
promotion of this great object. But if Ido not give
an equal degree of credit to the motives and con-
dad of others, it may be becaufe I have not had
the fame opportunity of knowing how to eltimate
and approve their charaders, habits, and principles.
I believe that the Right Hon. Gentleman fincerely
wished an Adminifiration to be formed upon a broad
balls, but furely he mull be as fincerely difappoint-
ed from having failed in his endeavnurs. I fuppofe
he foon found his Adminiftration was too firong—
fpirit above proof ; therefore neceffery to dilute it ;
the gold was too pure, therefore it required an
alloy ; that filch a conflellation of vigour was col-
leaCd as to be too great for the eyes to behold, there-
fore oeceffary to diminith it by intermixing fome
of the dregs of the old Adminiftration. But can
the Right Honourable Gentleman fuppofe that
he really came into office with the fame luitre am
when be went out of it ? He went out becaufe
of the great queftion refpeding Ireland; and when
out, he warns the Cabinet of Ireland to look to him
land his friends alone, and to regard his re-efieblifh-
ment into office as the fignal of their fuccefs. But
has he, fir,ce his re.eftabliftiment, taken one Itep, or
given the leell encouragement to reafife the expec-
tations he has railed ? Nay, has he not come back
to office with a Iligma of having broken faith ?
He will recoiled alfo how he has cafhiered the
Noble Lord (Hats ketbury) from the department of
Foreign Affairs, whom he had held up as the fitted
man in the world, and afterwards degraded him,
by turning him over to the Home Office. It is no-
thing, that he has (hewn an incapacity to judge of
the fitnefs of mots to condud public affairs! I confefs,
11 then, I do not think he has the fame claim to the
confidence of the country as he had when he went
llout of office. But fuppofing, as has been infinu-
ated, that he has refilled to fit in any cabinet in
which he could not fit foie mailer, I cannot be-
lieve that thefe noble, independent pert ins would
condefeend to fit in it as mere puppets, as if
they had no eyes, no nofes. But if loch be his
ambition, that he will not only not be placed
in a fubordinne flotation, but even that he will
not be on a footing of equality with the ableti men
in the kingdom ;—what (hall we fay when every
thing thews, at the fame time, his warn of judgment
and difcrimination ? As to one and another of the
component parts of the prefent Adminifiration (and
who alfo formed part of the IA), I fuppofe they
were all thought as capable of doing their ofiis•iet
in their former fituation, and under the former A I •
ministration, as now. But as to the Secretary e!
State for Foreign Affairs, whom the Right Ho.
nourable Gentleman held out as the molt able mem,
he has now cafhiered him ; and first, Lord Har-
rowby—and now Lord filulgiave is introduced in
his place. What fulosiority of talents has this
Lift Noble Lcrd dilcovered ? I recoiled he got
fomehow into Toulon, and he then thought himfelf
in a fate of comfortable fecurity. Whether he finds
himfelf in a Rate of equally comfortable fecurity now
I know not. But this I acknowledge, the Right
Hon. Gentleman has never told us that he was the
fitteft man for hie office, and hence I augur that he
has force chance of continuing in it. Bet if there be
no fuch firiking proofs in thefe high departments of
a change for the better, furely in the .-rdmicafry fume-
thing of the fort mull be vifible ! But whether the
Noble Lord, appointed to the head of that Depart-
ment, be the &tett for it, I have no: the nicaue of
