• RETITRNS OF TILE SPANISH IpiP it
Lord TEVIPIfF. rose to enforce hls motlon for the returns of
the late Expedition -to Spain. He thought thite., had boleti
spite sufficient ISine.to make them up, and that theidiad siletiei

Wire table. ff •
The SPEAKER reminded the Noble Lotd, that what his Ma-
jesty had promised, rested with hint to perform ; and that the
House was not qualified to make any order upon the subject.
Lord TEMPL F. explained.
Mr. LONG said, that every diligence had been used to make
out the returns, but they were not -yet ready. -
Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that they were ofa most com-
plicated nature. As far as lay in the office over which his Lord-
ship presided, every information had been afforded co the House;
but the Adjutant General was not able It this moment to give
any account of seven regiments from Portugal. It was, there-
fore, impossible to promise the Noble Lord completely perfect
returns ; hut he trusted, that in the course of next week, or be•
fore the holidays, at any rate, it. should be able to satisfy his
Lordship.
Lord. TEMPLE .replied, that some of the returns at least
might have been made out ; for instance, the return of men sent

to Spain, and of the quantity of artillery horses,iind of the num-
ber of transports engaged. He should, however, be satisfied, if
this were done before the holidays.
Lord CASTLEREAGH anew, red, that he could not under-
take to promise this, and protested against laying before the
House partial information.
Several other Members rising to speak,
The SPEAKER observed, that there was no question before
the House.

Lord lOLKSTONE, (or this purpose-, moved that the House
should adjourn.
GeneraITARLETON urged the neccsQty of an early return'
of the proceedings in Portugal, that Alii.ittrs might receive a
lesson tow to act in Spain.
Mr. HUSKIS SON supported Lord Castkreagh's opinions.
Lord TEMPLE declared his intention, if the papers were not
before the House in a week, of moving an address to his Ma.,
jesty, praying, that they might be laid before the House forth.;
with.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER protested nainst
the child's play of moving the adjournment of the House' merely
to give Members an opportunity of carrying on this unedifying
discussion. It was not a gracious way of disposing of the public
business.
Mr.

said, that this child's play was what had
been acted over and over again by the House ; and so far from
being child's play, was the most regular way of disposing of the
public business. If the discussion had been improperly prolong-
ed, why did the Right Honourable Gentleman add to Its length,
by saying a word about it ? His Nob* Friend (Lord Temple)
would have been justified In moving hisAddreas- -rrbov 4
veanteil there-turn from Spain; they bad aueitions made by a Noble
Lord (Castlereagh) and his brother, and they wanted those asse
tions contii-med. The Honourable Member was sorry to have
been led by the Right Honourable Gentleman's example, to pro.'
tract this discussion, which was necessarily carried on upon a pre-
tence, which when treated ridiculously became so, but which
was not in itself ridiculous.

Lord FOLKSTON'? defended his proceeding as that of the
regular mode in the old times of Parliament, which were the
best times. It was the constant practice then to put the question
ur Adjournment. There was then, too, another motion of con-
veni,nce, that of lighting the candles; and there was one instance
recorded when the House debated all night upon this question,
and when day light came, resolved that they should be lighted.
These were the regular manners of discussing what there was no
other oi:portunity of doing ; and Parliament were very far from
doing any thing discreditable to their dignity when they adopted
them.
The discussion being at an end, Lord Folkston° withdrew his
motion.

Lord Milton, and the three sons.of Lord Dundas, were ex;
cused from Parliamentary attendance on account of the death of
a near relation:
THE DUKE OF YORK.

Lord FOLKESTONE moved the Order of the
Day for the resumption of the adjourned debate on
the conduct of the Commander in Chief,

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER,
after a few words had passed between him and Mr.
Tierney, announced his attention, to withdraw his
Resolution, and omit from it the word " charges,"
and otherwise to alter it to the following, effect—
" That this House having appointed a Committee to investigate
the conduct of his Royal Highness the Duke. of York, as Com-
mander in Chief, and having carefully considered the evidence
which came before the said Committee, and finding that personal
corruption, and connivance at corruption, have been imputed to
his said Royal Highness, find it expedient to pronounce a distinct
.opinion upon the said imputation, and are accordingly of opinion
that it is wholly without foundation."
Mr. TIERNEY said, that the character of -the
Duke of York was public property, the public having
an interest to see that no person should sit on the
Throne whose character was tainted. lf, therefore,
the charge of corruption should be proved against his
Royal Highness, a Bill of Exclusion from the Throne
must necessarily follow. The House, knowing that
he was corrupt, would degrade themselves if they did
not pass such a Bill. The Right Honourable Mem-
ber was solemnly of opinion, that the charge of cor-
ruption had not been proved against the Duke of
York, and had no objection to comply with the Right
Honourable Gentleman's (the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer's) Resolution, that it had not been proved.
He was desirous too of some such Resolution, to as-
sure the Public that the present case was not disposed
of: the general impression .upon the public mind
seemed to be that the Duke of York had received a
full acquittal. At thii, Gentlemen acquainted with
the forms of the House would wonder; but he could
assure them it was pretty universally believed so.—
But the Right Honourable Gentleman's Resolution
stopped too soon. The charge of corruption not be-
ing proved, the Duke of York came betore them as
a public functionary, and was to be treated as such ;
and -the Right Honourable speaker wanted some
pledge from the Right Ijonottrable Gentleman, that
this Resolution, denying the Duke's corrur Con, was
. not all that was to be done. The Right Honourable,
Minber was sorry the Right Honourable Geuzle.

public
suspicion. All this - vas done away by the Amend- '
most.. The Right. Honourable Mcmtzer I,cwtv that
the Right Honourable Gentleman meant to propose • •
no other Resolution; and he in candour acknow-
ledged he did not. If he carried this Resolution, he
meant to incorporate it into the Address, and carry
the whole to the •King, So that while every mind in
the kingdom had been heated and torn with this sub-
ject, this House would be the only place-where nd
'opinion was to be found' about the matter. • Their
*ere to: embody this .Resoltition into the Address,
ail,4 416; to conceive they bad done their duty. The
Address not only (lid not go far enough, but it went
too'far the other way : not only it did not propose to
remove the Duke of York, but it suggested the pro-
priety of retaining 'him. The Right Honourable
Member hoped the House would bear in mind the in-
tention of the Right Hon Gentleman as to this Ad-
dress, in the event of his carrying his present Resolu-
tion, arid not go toohastily with him. (Hear ! hear!)
—The Right Hon. Member then proceeded to com-
ment upon the Duke of York's letter to the House,
which, he said, was evidently the production of the
Cabinet. The Right Hon. Gentleman had stated,
that the Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Wardle) had.
consulted cooler heads than his own. He thought the
Duke of York had, in this letter, consulted c,)oler
heads than his own ; for, from what the Right Hon.
Member knew of the character of the Duke of York,
he did not think he would have put his hand to such
a proceeding. The Right Hon. Member could com:
prebend the meaning of the Duke's asserting his in.
nocence ; but could not understand why he did not
do this at first. .He was innocent " upon his honour
as a Prince !" The honour of a Peer was intelligible ;
but this phrase had no meaning at all. The letter was
certainly the production of one of the Cabinet ; he did
not know who had the controul of the
_flourishing de-
partment. 'The letter went on to regret the connec.
don which had exposed the Duke's character to ant.:
madversion-: as much as to say, " I have fallen into
bad company ; but let me off this once, and I'll never •
do so any more." There was no " honour of a
Prince" in this ! The Duke of York was decoyed into
this letter, it now appeared, for the sake of ground-
ing an Address upon it. He could never have ex-
pected that the repentance of this letter should be
made the terms upon which his office should be con..
tinned to him. The latter part of. theletter must
hive come from the. Special Pleadees,office, The -
nt Hau hatrbefit 1010)4, they could:do pia. thing. with
a mAti in public office but impeach or acquit -him.
These winds must have given great pain to any one
who valued the privileges of the House. In many
cases it would be madness to impeach, however they
might be convinced of guilt. In the present case,
there were many reasons against impeachment. Was
there no alternative between inconvenience and in-.
justice ? It was difficult to produce an instance, where
the deficiency in power of examining upon oath was
productive of much inconvenience. Their's were
called inquisitorial powers : true ; but inquisitorial
powers must be lodged somewhere ; and where could •
they be lodged better than in the House of Commons ?
It was true the House were bound by no rule ; but
then they had the sound discretion of the representa-
tives of the people, and that, though no rule, was a
sufficient guide to honest men. If the House were
bound by rules, they would be in even a more un-
pleasant situation than they at present were. 'rile
Right Hon. Member' was not bound to say Aye or
Nu to the Right Hon. Gentleman's question : an Ad-
dress might be so framed as to. satisfy the mind; of
his Majesty, of the House, and of the Country. And'
unless the Right Hon. Gentleman carved his Reso-
lution unanimously, what did he do ? The Right
Hon. Member did not think the Duke corrupt ; laut
many Members might, and then where was the deli-
cacy of Miniters ? The House were a. Jury pro- _
nouncing by majority ; and in many of that Jury
were to be found names that did not wish to speak as
to the corruption of the Duke of York. Besides, if
the Right Hon. Gentleman proceeded as he, ought to
do, he would put a separate vote upon each. charge.,
Many might say, " I do not know as to general cor-
ruption ; but what do you think of this case ?" The
Right Hon. Gentleman would not be content with
any fair and liberal support; he would provoke
them to speak as to, corruption ; the Right Ron..
Member did not believe there was corruption, but no
man had a right to sift him, whether any thing un-
pleasant had passed across his mind. . .
The Right Honourable Member then came to the •
question whether their proceedings should be prefa-
ced, by thus informing the public what they were
going to do. He would not agree to the Resolution
unless it went further, and gave a distinct opinion as
to the bearing Of the whole. If the Right Honoura-
ble Gentleman had no objection to' his addition,• he
bad no objection to the Right Honourable Geetle-
man's commeigement: Both was necessary to sa-
tisfy the'public, Who had too-saon begun'to despair,
that so far from the discussion'slieing closed., it was
only just opened. - 'The kighElionourilble Gentle-
man Might say, a'Only agree to my Resolution first,
and then 'you may propose what you please." The
Right Honourable Member was very much oblipd
to him ; so he told the House before. It •'•a•as impor-
tant, however; not to'sepatate the 'opinions ; having
done with the Duke of York in his royal capacity, .
inasmuch as he might one.day be our sovereign, then '
he came to consider him as a public functionary ; and
there he was open to the same sifting-.and censure as ••
any other matt. No malt agreed mere cordially
than the Right Honourable Member in all the prai-es
that could be' bestowed upon the Duke -as Com-
mander in Chief ; but he could net remain whhe le!
