• Lord CASTLEREAGH explained that them
were produced three Treaties between this Country
and Sweden. and one between this Country and Ruffia,
to which Aultria afterwards acceded. The Commo-
tion with Ruffia confifled of fifteen articles, one of
+which was never ratified. Of the remaining lourteen,
nine only were on the table, it not having been judged
expedient to produce the others. The Gentlemen
who were to fucceed the prefent Minifiers, would,
however, have it in their power to judge of the pro.
prkty of this.
Mr. FOX afked, if there were any other doen.

Lord CASTLEREAGH a.ofwered, that he knew
of none, but he thould inquire, and Ihould be happy
to receive the Honourable Gentleman's commands,
and to afford him every information he might require.

Lord CASTLEREAGH, purfuant to his notice
on a former day, role to bring forward his motion for
• a tribute of refpeet to the memory of the deceafed,
and an expreffion of gratitude towards the perfons
who. Survived the dangers of the different naval ac-
tions which have lately contributed fo materially to
reduce the power of the enemy, and added In con&
derable a degree of luflre to the Britifh arms. The
Noble Lord traced the combined fleets through all
their different situations, from the time of their Rat

-.lllt. to-the very able arrangements which had been
ataJe by his Majefty's Lords CommifTioners of the
Admiralty. When the combined fleets were in the
port of Cadiz, on their return from the Well Indict.

duous talk which Rill remained to be performed—
the difficulty of combating the elements—which was
overeothe by the unremitting exertions of thole who
furrived after the hour of battle. The humanity
which was then difpiayed towards our fellow crea•
tures, who had ceafed to be our adverffiries. was a
'trait in the charaaer of the Britilh Navy which was
alto worthy of the h.gheß commendation, though the
mercift of flat benevolent feeling had long fence been
a fettled feature in the charafter of a Briti(h Seaman.
It was a feeling which alto was the pride of ancient
France to cultivate, but which modern France ended-
vowed as much as poffible to (title. Another eircum•

on our part; a hero felt, whole life was devoted to
the fervice of his country from the tithe of his infancy
to that of his lateß breath; a man who, throughom
the whofe courfe of his life, attracted the friendthip
of every individual round him, and by that means
might be (aid to have enfured fuceefs, if it was in the
power of the force under his command to mem:tenni:it
the °Ned which he had in view. Bat he had a

to the defcreption of what Was achieved by him at the
battle of Aboukir,lhe battle of Copenbage.n, and the
battle in which he terminated his career of "glory.-k ,
That enormous perfon had eanftantly, in all their
trying fituations, to contend againfl bodily infirmities

his great mind for his withdrawing himfelf from

indefatigable perfon, however, nobly perfevered, and
the hiflot y of hisgreat life was wound up with a aloft
refplendent aft of glory. What was within the power
of his Majafty's munificence was done, and his Mi•
nifters had thought it their duty to give their advice
for every thing that was p.offible to be done towards
the name of Nelfon. The hero himfelf was now
placed fat beyond the reach of our gratitude; but,
the reprefentatives of a great nation, would, he was
well convinced, molt readily conctir with the paren-
tal defire of their Sovereign, and place the relatives
of that great man in a fituatiab worthy the character
of that friend, whole valuable life was loft in the ler-
vice of his country. It was the with of his Majelly,
that the widow of fuels a perfon fhould have fuch
ample provifion made for her, as would be propor-
tionate to her rank in fociety, and (tech as by her
claims on the country the was justly entitled to. An
annual income of wool. was meant to be fettled on
her, not in the common fenfe of the term property,
but as National property, to be for ever attached to
the name and family of Nelfon. This was not meant
to be done in fuch a way as might compel the re-
ceiver of inch a mark of public gratitude to live be-
yond their income ; but it was to be done by the
pill chafe of landed property, and it was propofed that
the funs of two hundred thoufand pounds Atould be
appropriated to that purpofe. This aft would corn-
memorate the atchievements of the Hero to the lat-
eß age', and the country would by this means derive
a tatting hmeflt from what was originally a moil me-
lancholy utisfut tune, as future officers would look to
the hittory of a Nelfon for the model of their prole,:
(tonal condufl. The Noble Lord then recapitulated
the names of lime of the Officers who were next in
rank, or who had moll eminently dißinguiffied them-
felves in the battles of Trafalgar and Cape Ortega'.
One eircutallance had nearly efcaped his recolleetion
—that was, that it was propofed that thole who had
endured the harifhips of thofe battles fhould have a
participation to the full amount of the benefits that
would have refulted if they had brought the whole
of the captured (hips into the ports of Great Britain,
I no`l they were now added to the number of his Mn.l
city's Navy. His Lordfliip concluded with moving—

Mr. FOX w, old not difturb the harmony which.
fliould pervade the Houle at loch a time. But now
that the 'Thank. of 'he HoitCe were unanimoutly car-
tied, he thotaylit it his El.!: y to recommend to the
' Noble I..”rd, thatoti any Inure occafion funilar to
the prefent, he thotild cart that he did not blend
the condua of Milliners and oh the Admiralty with that
of thole to whom thanks, were to be voted. He alto
informed the Noble Lord, that the feryices of Magi-
cal Lord Northelk appeared to him to have been left
too long unnoticed.
Lnrd CASTLEREAGH declared that he had
found it utterly impotlible to examine former into all
the different claims to Royal favour which rebuked
from fuel) ations as thole of which he now (poke.
But the Noble and Gallant Officer was to be made a
Knight of the Bath. As to the mention of the Ad-
miralty, he thought that he was completely julbfied
in making arc of it at the time, as the ideas mull be
ft naturally mine:led with each other, that it was
:down imponible to think of the one withoUt thinking
of the other. The prefent Firit Lord of the Adm.
ralty was alt.' particularly entitled to the commenda-
tion of that Houle; and the gratitude of the country,
for his indefatigable exertion in arranging the civil
department of the navy on bitch a plan as mull in the
' end conttibwe mon materially to the ftrength and
glory of the empire.
Mr. FOX, in explanation, obferved, that really if
Gentlemen prefent had not heard what he had laid,
they would have been induced to luppole from what
fell from the Noble Lord, that he had (aid fomething
to the difparagement of the Fan Lord of the Admi-
ralty. The an was, that he would have raid what
he did fay if Lot d Spencer or Lord St. Vincent had
been at the head of that hoard. He had only re-
commended the Noble Lord not to blend the names
of perfons who had nothing to do with a tranfaaion,
with thole of perfons who were entitled to the thanks
of the Houle. For it would be clearly Peen that a
cafe might arife where there was great demerit nn
the part of the Admiralty, and yet the navy had
proved ruccelsful. In loch a cafe, the greater the de-
merit of the one, the more meritorious would be the
coadua of the other. _ - _ _
