coaotry, in the gVfieral fly of Europe. Looking to
the lubjea is tins light, I certainly felt that I fhould
hasedeferted my duty to my Sovereign ho this Houle,
and to my Country, if I bad, from a fear of violat-
ing a particular fetus, not potencd for t i to de enough
to do, what I conceived the higheft intereils, not of
this kingdons merely,butof Europe, required. Under
an impreffion that the advance was effentially necef-
fay to the belt Wenn, of the late, I did content to
it, and if the Hoare in their wifdnm think I have
sled wrong, I Mall certainly feel it my duty to bow
to their decifion. But the Honourable Member lays'
that I ought to have inquired more minutely into
the affairs of Boyd and Benfield, before I confented to
give them fo large an advance of the public money.,
Sir, they had come to me aficing fur an advance of
r ‘oney aithoutanyfecurity,andon a mere alfurance
re-payment, I &odd unqacftionably have felt it
roe duty to examine minutely into the late of their
• •Fvirs before I acceded to dull. regime. When,
ant* (Kathie' were pat into my bands,
en I faw no danger but the impoffibility of get-
',jag thefe fecurities accepted in the ordinary metric
of mercantile proceedings, certainly furl an exami-
nation was foperiluous. It might he faid, indeed,
that the concerns of Boyd and Benfield were in that
precarious Mate that demanded rigid inquiry. It was
a fah, however, that upwards of three years elapfed
before their 3isfolute infolvency was afcertained.—
Even that Honomable Gentleman to whom he had
already alluded, had no furpicion of this till the
end of 1797, though Boyd and Benfield participated
in all the loans from 1796, yet in confequence of
Mr. Thornton's information I felt it my duty to re-
Life their farther participation in any public contra..
This, indeed, was in every eafe the courk I purfued
on every occafien. The Governor and Deputy Go-
vernor of the Bank attended when a loan was to he
contrafted for, and on their opinion of the folvency
of the contralars, was my opinion guided. The
Right llononrahle Gentleman, after a few more oh
!creations on this point, concluded by throwing hito-
Self entirely on the wifilom and candour of the Houle.
Mr. HENRY LA SC ELLES commenced his Speech
with obferving, that it would ill become him, after
what the Hnufe bad heard Gated, with infinite abili-
ty by the Right. Hon. Gentleman (the Chancellor of
the Exchequer) below him, to go at large into the
quefiion. In taking up the time of the Houfe, he was
not Linguine enough to hope that be bosh] afford
them any additional fatisfaftion ; but having fat every
day upon that Committee, and having given all the
attention in his power to what had patkd there, he
thought it incumbent on him to give notice, on a for-
mer evening, that he would propole counter refolu-
tions to any motion of eenfure, which the Hon. Mem-
ber on the ("polite fide may think proper to bring
forward, againfl the Right Hon. Gentleman below
bias. It, however, afforded him much fatisfaaion to
fee the Hon. Gentleman who brought forward the
refolutions this night, affume a tone and manner fo
different to that which he manifefted when he firft
Mentioned his intention of inculpatiug the Right
limn. Gentleman below him. From all that he then
declared, he concluded, that he had determined to
bring forward a refolution of &tea and unqualified
henfure againft the Right Hon. Gentleman, whom he
feented to with to implicate in the mil-conduit which
had lately engaged fo much of the attention of that
"LOUR. On a thusoei night, when a motion of cen.
Ore was carried again* the violation of an A& of
irliament, and that it was voted a high breach of
duty, he reconciled that lome Gentlemen on the
other fide of the :look. endeavoured to extend that
canine to the Right Honourable Gentleman, and
loudly exclaimed, that the country was governed by
' 4 di
(*graced (*graced Adminiftration." Some of thofe Gen.
tlemen had Since an opportunity of convincing them
Selves that the epithet was ill applied, and he was
happy to fee them adopt a tone and a manner, Suited
to the evidence which appeared before that Commit.
tee, of which they were fuch dillingnifhed members.
The lion. Member who opened the debate was the
leading member of- that Committee; be called for
what e v thence he pleated, examined them as he liked,
no obtlacle was thrown in his way, all the docu-
ments on the table were produced by his ingenuity
and alliduity ; and it was not unfair to prefume, that
the moderate tone of the refolutions he brought for.
ward, was the effea of the dofe and Cautioning
inveftigation which he made into the conduit of
the Right Honourable Gentleman in certain parts
of the matters teterred to that Committee. There
were three diftina Etas which were the foundation
of the Refolutions. The communication made to
the Chancellor of the Exchequer by Mr. Raikes, the
condua of the Treafory in the affair of Jellicoe, and
the accommodation afforded to the houfe of Boyd and.
Co. As to the firft point, it was comparatively of
fmall importance, and therefore be fhould not take
up the time of the Houle with any obfervations on it.
As to the condo& of the Treafory with refpek to do
debt due from Jellicoe, he did not think that negli-
gence was to be imputed to the Right Honourable I
lief-et:man. The cultomary orders for enforcing
p.iyment had been ifihed as loon as the defalcation
wa, flitcovered, and it was not to be expeted that a
hliiiiiier, fuperintending the molt important interefts
of the country, could have leifute or opportunity for
the confidcration of fuch trifling details. The as
hommodation afforded to Boyd and Co. was not only
jultifiable, but meritorious in a great degree. All
the evidences agree as to the &bet's which prevailed
among commercial men at that period, arifing from
the Icareity of money, the impoftibility of rendering
!ecutities of any kind available, and the ruin then
Imptading over, and which &only afterwards did
rail upon fome of the mutt rerpedable commercial
etlablilhments. At loch a cribs could the Honoura.
hie Gentleman have aeled otherwife towards a Houfe
to iatonately connefted with the Government, nfing,
as they did, the precaution to take ample Security for
the accommodation they extended to that Houle.—
But the Right Hon. Gentleman is ceafitred for nut
having applied fora bill of indemnity: that certainly
would have been more regular. Let, however, Gen-
tlemen call to recolleition the different eircumftances
which occurred to prevent that application, and he
was perfuaded they would fee no great caufe for cen-
lotng the negligence of the Right Honourable Gen-
tleman in that relpea. The Honourable Member
hho moved the Refolutions, thought there would be
'"' great difference of opinion as to the Refolutions.
In that he could not concur with him. He could
rot agree with him as to his mode of (toting the
t4tis : and in the LA Ittfohrioa be did not think

there was that poAtire erpretton of the exigency of
the country at that period, which, to the knowledge,
he believed, of every man in the Houle, exited to a
very great degree. He would, therefore, move an I
amendment, by propofing to put the previous quef- 1
Lion on all the Refolutions but the la, in the place
of which, with the leave of the Hnufe, he would
fubnitute the one he had prepared. The Honourable
Member then read the Refolution, which was in fub-
Rance, "That the advance of a loan of forty thou.
(and pounds to the houfe of Boyd and Co. though
not ftrietly conformable to law, was highly expedient
in the exifling circumftances, and attended with the
molt beneficial effeCts."

Mr. HAWKINS BROWNE feconded the A-
mendment.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
then rofe and faid, if the Refolutions werodeemed of
a criminating nature, he would withdraw (a loud cry
of No !)
The SPEAKER obferved, that the firft motion
contained only a Ratement of fads.
Mr. LASCELLES faid, by way of explanation,
that if Gentlemen would permit the previous queftion
to pars, a Bill of Indemnity might be moved on be-
half of his Right Hon. Friend.
Mr. FOX faid, in reference to the ohfervation of
the Right Hon. Gentleman, it was undoubtedly for
himfelf to confider whether it would be proper to re-
tire. But it did not appear to his mind that there was
any thing in the Refolutions propoted by his Hon.
Friend of fuch a criminating nature, with refped to
the Right Hon. Gentleman, as to luring his cafe with-1
in the precedent alluded to. Before he entered into
the fubjed of the debate, he begged leave to advert I
to what had fallen from the Hon. Gentleman under
the gallery (Mr. Lan:elks). That Hon. Gentleman
had dated that his Hon. Friend had materially alter-
ed his tone fince the firft time this tranfadion was
brought under the view of the Houfe, and the Hon.
Gentleman took occalion to repeat Come words that
Were ufed by him at the clofe of the debate on the
Bth of April. Certainly he did fay, at that time,
after the refolutions which the Houfe had paffed,that
the country was then under a " difgraced Admini.
aratiori," and he expreited his hope and will), that
while in that fituation, no public battlers fhould be
proceeded upon. But then this obfervation applied
to Lord Melville, who, notwithllanding the crimina-
ting vote of that Houte, formed an effential part of
the Adminiftration. If the Hon. Gentleman meant
toinfmuate that the Right Hon. Gentleman, whofe
condud was now the fubjed of debate, wa‘ condemn.
ed before he was heard, or before any inquiry into
his conduit took place, he could allure the Honour-
able Gentleman, that with refpeft to him, the infinu-
ation was totally unfounded ; or, if he would infer
that any fuch difpofition at all exilted, he begged for
himfelf to be excafed from the inference. Neither
he, nor his Honourable Friend, the Mover of the re.
(Motion before the Houfe, ever did, in any fpeech,
diredly or indiredly, infinbate what would be the re,
Cult of the inquiry before the Seidl Committee.—
Indeed, in point of fad, none of the Gentlemen on
his fide of the Houfe, ever did hint that the Right
lion. Gentleman was at all involved in the snifcon-
daft of Lord Melville. The conneetion firft appear.
ed from the ftatement of the Right Honourable Gen-
tleman himfelf, with refped to the 40,0001. ; and
undoubtedly from that moment the Right Hon. Gen-
dentin was jull'y faid to be implicated in the delin-
quency of violating the law. But be never was
tonfidered to be criminal in any degree beyond that
which his own avowal naturally implied. And he
allured the Right Hou. Gentleman that he fhould
feel as fincerely lorry as any man in that Houfe if it
had appeared, from the refult of this enquiry, that
the Right Hon. Gentleman was guilty to the fame
degree as Lord Melville. However much he might
have differed from the Right Honourable Gentleman
in the courfe of his political life—however he might
have thought his general conduct deferving of blame
—however he might think him blameable in this in-
(lance, yet be fhould feel uneafy and unhappy had it
turned out, after the rank and Ration which the
Right Honourable Gentleman Ind fo long held—
after the oppofition even which he himfelf had felt
it his duty to give him, that the Right Honourable
Gentleman was perfonally corrupt. For himfelf, he
could declare, that he never entertained fuch an opi.
nion of him, and he was happy that the refult of the
inquiry did not juftify the adoption of even a fenti-
ment of fufpicioo on that ground. Although he had
frequently condemned the public conduft of the Right
Hon. Gentleman—although he had on many occa-
(ions uttered fentiments refpeBing him which he
would have felt it treafon againft his country and his
confcience to fupprefs, Rill he never expreffed a fuf-
picion that the Right Hon. Gentleman was capable
of perfonal corruption,nor did he ever entertain fuch
a flifpicien. However he might charge him with that
fpecies of corruption that attaches to general neglat
of duty, his mind entirely acquitted the Right Hon.
Gentleman of that kind of fordid corruption alluded
to by the Hon. Gentleman under the Gallery.—
But yet in the cafe under conlideratian of the Houfe,
another queßion arofe. The Right Honourable Gen-
tleman appeared to him, on the &It mention of the
tranfadion, with regard to Lord Melville, not to
have paid a proper deference and attention to law,
when lie was informed of its violation by Mr. Raikes.
When information of that nature was communicated
to him by any perfon whatever holding that office,
which, in foreign countries, is denominated 44 S'ipen
intendant of the Finance-4'4 it was juftly thought in-
cumbent on him to have inflituted an inquiry into the
circumftances,and to have put a flop to the evil com-
plained of. From the Report of the Committee it
Appeared that the Right Honourable Gentleman had
made inquiry, and however unwilling he might feel
to aggravate the cafe of Lord Melville, who was
now ordered for trial, he could not help obferving,
that he did not think it poffible that fuch an anfwer
could have been given to inch an inquiry. The
Right Honourable Gentleman's reliance on that an-
fwer, from the nature of the attrition held by Lord
Melville, wad the conflation fublifting between him
and the Right Honourable Gentleman, could not
fairly be made the ground of cenfure, although the
neglecting to inveßigate the Wines farther, betrayed
rather a want of diligence. But • the circuintlance,
however, of the Right Hon. Gentleman's giving cre-
dit to the Itatement of Lord Melville, although a
matter of regret, was not a jug foundation for blame.
No, but if the evidence on the table was correct, ache
had ao doubt that it was.fatit flood oacootradifted

'any thing that came from toed Melville MRS& when
lbefore the Houfe, the guilt of the Noble Lord was in
an inverfe ratio to that of the Right Hon. Gentleman.
Without entering into the queltion, whether, if the
amount of the transfers from the Bank to the Houfe
of Meffrs. Coitus, was bona Pe for the purport of
carrying on the " details of office," fuch transfers
would hose invclved a violation of the ad, as was
his own opinion, this furely could be no queflion that
the transfers that were actually made, were contrary
to its fpirit and letter. But, however the Right Ho-
nourable Gentleman might Shand in this part of the
fubjett, from his tuneable confidence in the word of
Lord Melville, he was very differently circumftanced
with refpea to the cafe of Jellicoe. Lord Melville's
tendernefs to that than might form, on the (core of
humanity and juftice, force claim to the confideration
of the Lords of the Treafury. But the complaint
was, that the Noble Lord did, in his endeavour to
obtain the writ of Privy Seal, Rate that which was
not fad, and that the Treafury Board did eel on mil-
reprefentation without inquiry. Lord Melville, it
appeared, Rated in his memorial that Jellicoe's debt
was contracted before he entered into office, whereas
the fa& was, that much the greater part of it ac-
crued after he became Treafurer of the Navy; and
Rill more, that, after the indifcretion and debt of Jclli-
coe was communicated to Lord Melville,hecontinued
to entruft him. Now there was this marked differ-
ence between the cafe of a Noble Friend of his (Lord
Grenville) for whom it was impoffible for him to feel
any other fentiment than that of reepett, and the cafe
of Jellicoe, to which the Right Hon. Gentleman pro.
felled to confider it quite analogous, that Lord Glen-
vine, after the money was embezzled, roofed no
farther confidence in the perfon who was guilty, and
made no falfe Ratement, while, in the inftance of
Lord Melville, the conduct purfued was directly the
reverfe. The blame then which attached to the Right
Honourable Gentleman in the cafe of Jellicoe con-
fided in this, that he granted Lord Melville an ac-
qnittance upon falfe ground', and in an unpre-
cedented manner, for a debt due to the public.—
Now as to the 40,0001. lent to Mr. Boyd, he con-
fiders this tranfaCtion contrary, not only to ftatute
law, but to the fpirit of the conftitution, and the prin-
ciples of common fenfe. Nay more, there were on
the journals feveral Refolutionsexprefsly condemning
the mifappropriation of naval money. Every man
therefore, mutt be aware of the impropriety of loch
a practice. Indeed he was one of thrift who always
thought that the law thould not be difpenfed with by
any power, unlefs where the neceffity was fo urgent,
that to Whin from loch difpenfation, would be a
higher breach of duty than the violation of tits law
itfelf would involve. The quetlion then was, whe-
ther the cafe of Boyd, was fuch as to teflify a devi-
ation from the general rule ? When fir ft the reafon
of this loan was Rated, it really (truck him with fur-
prize. It appeared a molt extraordinary taftnfaCtion.
What ! that the credit of the Government fhould be
fuppofed to depend on a loan of 40,0001. If the Go-
vernment really flood in fuch a fituation, which was
to be collected from the general arguments of the
Right Hon. Gentleman, when he Rated as a reafon
for avoiding inquiry, that if any delay took place, the
evil might become remedilefs, then much as was ge-
nerally faid about delicacy of commercial credit,
public credit was (till more delicate. The Right Hon.
Gentleman had Rated that Boyd could not obtain
money in the market for the fecurities he produced
to Government, s, in conlequence of the fcarcity of
cant, and general embarraffment that thee prevailed,"
and yet,' firange to tell, it was not above three weeks
afterwards, when his Majelty, in a fpeech from the
throne, congratulated the country on the profperous
Rate f its marsufaaures, commerce, and rapidly
growing wealth. The precedent of filch a loan was
molt alarmingly mifchievous, and mutt, if fuffered
to be acted upon, ellablifh a degree of arbitrary
power in a Minifler. What if it Should he under-
Rood that a Miniller (hail have the difcretion of ad-
vancing the public money to merchants, for their ac-
commodation, upon any conception that he might.
form of their neceffity, or to prevent any potlible evil
that his extravagant fancy might fuppofe, could there
be any fecurity for onr freedom ? How liable would
Inch practices be to interfere with the purity of that
Houfe, and even with the independence of the mer-
cantile world. For, it would be very unlikely that
any Merchant, independent of Miniflers, would par-
ticipate of fuels accommodations. There were
many failures of great mercantile houfes in the City
at the time Boyd received this aid, and upon what
principle fhould fuch aid be granted to one Houfe,
and refufed to another ? If it were really neceffary
to lend the public money, why not apply to Pattie-
ment for its concurrence, as in the cafe of the Weft
India Merchants, Come years ago ? Nothing of the
kind fhould be done without an Aft of Parliament :
the confequence of permitting it mutt be obvious.—
It was very juftly aneed, if the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman felt the neceffiry of the cafe to be fo ftrong,
that he was confident of jollification. why did he did
not apply to Parliament for an ad of indemnity ? but
the Right Honourable Gentleman laid, that he could
not at the time the loan was made without a &filo-
lure, that mutt defeat the (shied in view. This was
an argument, however, that did not avail after the
temporary ember ra ffment of Boyd's boufe had ceafed,
when they had become fo flourithing as to be trufted
by Government with a large fum of money to be re-
mitted to the Cape of Good Hope. It would have been
no difgrace to Boyd's houfe to reveal the circum-
(lances of the loan at that time. Bui aftei the total
failure of the bode no motive of delicacy'could be

able Gentleman's fpeech which referred to this point,
he could not help obferving, that there was much to
complain of and even to deplore. The Right Hon.
Gentleman declared, that he felt no compunction for
the act. There was really lomething very extraordi-
nary in the declaration—that a Hinifier who violated
a law for purpofes of private expediency felt no bur-
then on his confcience—that he who was cottoned
with a principal office in the execution of the law,
&mild refleet, without pain, on a grofs breach of
provifions. The thing was not, as his Honourable
Friend ( Mr. Whitbread). had truly Rated, to be heard.
without furprife and indignation in any Government
of law, but particularly in this country. The Right
Honourable Gentleman had Rated, at one time, that
when the bankruptcy took place the-a,& of indemnity
did not occur to him. But why did it not occur to
him If the Right Honourable Gentleman were not
in the habit of tmkintfuch.ufsof,tha public money,

which he Was not incened to belie*, and that thh was
the only cafe that had been deteded, one would tutu-
rally fuppofe that the indemnity fhould have occur-
red to him, ;Ind it was a had fymptom of his govern-
ment that he was not anxious to obtain it. But it
might be laid that he confidered the application to
Parliament unnecefftry, as he hoped the tranCadien
would remain a fecret. In this hope, if the Right
Honourable Gentleman entertained it, he had been
difappointed, and he trofled that this would ferve as
an example that the tranfgrefflon of the law was not
likely to remain a fecret, for after nine years conceal-
ment, the malverfation before the Houfe was brought
to light. Indeed, the miCappropriation of the public
money was a thing that was never known to have
efcaped deteftion, at come time or other. With the
exception of the mood. mentioned by Lord Melville
a few nights (ince, that was a cafe pettedly fui gesseriz..
But the fait was, that the loan of th.. ao,o-001. being
known to many perfons, was not likely to remain a
ferret, and as a fecret precedent might operate con-
fiderable mifchief. For what might be the conk.
quence on a fucceffor of the Right Honourable Ger.
demon, who, from his example, might be induced to
make Golder loans. Such a fueceffor might be told,
" there Mr. Pitt, who was reflrefented by his friends,
and as admitted by his enemies, to be.perfedly free
from perfonal corruption, lent 40,0001. of the pub-
lic money to accommodate •an individual, how
can you helitate to do the fame ?" So much as to
precedents in fecrecy, which really might be more
dangerous than public precedents. However, the
idea refpeding money did not apply to the refolution
before the Houfe ; for, although this aft was fecret
before, it was now become a matter of publicity
and, therefore, tome proceeding to guard againit the
operation of fuch a precedent, ought to be adopted.
In conSidering the courfe that ought to be adopted
on this occafion, it was his defire to diflinguiflt the
motive from the aft. He had already Paid, that he
acquitted the Right Hon. Gentleman of any degree
of perfonal corruption, and of courfe did not mean
to impeach his motive in this tranfadion, but his ob.
jet wins to provide againft Inch an aft growing into
a precedent ; and be really thought that in candour
the Right Hon. Gentleman himfelf would admit the
propriety of fuch a provifion. If the Houfe Should
proceed beyond that—if any cenfure Should be pro-
nounced, it was his with that fuch cenfiare thould be
as mild as words could convey—for nothing appeared
to him more effential in moral juftice than to keep a
marked lineof diflinetion between the different degrees
of delinquency in the diftribution of puniOsment—that
crimes of high enormity Should not be confound-
ed with thole to which but a flight degree of blame
was attributable. It was in his judgment as culpable
to apply fevere cenfure to a flight delinquency, as to
fuller a flagrant offender to efcape with impunity.—
He particularly wifhed, that under elating circum-
'Lances, the Houfe Should keep in view the diftindion
be alluded to. It was far from his intention, or that
of his Hon. Friend, to follow the courfe of thole pro-
ceedin.gs from any thing like party feelings. He troll-
ed that the Houfe and the country would do juftice to
the motives that aftuated their profecution of great
public delinquency,and feparate thefe motives altoge-
ther from any thing like party animofity. With refped
to the different modes of proceeding recommended
in this cafe, the Honourable Gentleman declared that,
if his Honourable Friend's propolitions fhould not be
adopted, he would prefer a Bill of Indemnity, in the
preamble to which the fenfe of the Hoofs might be
to fully and ftrongly expreffed as to guard agaiutt
the precedent complained of.
Lord CASTLEREAGH did not with, nor feel it
neceffary to argue the general queftion at any length,
conceiving that, on the general view of the fulled,
there was no material difference of opinion, that
might not eafily beaccommodated. He acknowledged
the candour and moderation with which the original
Refolutions had been brought forward by the Hon.
Mover, and alfo the Hon. Member who fupported
his motion; and was lure it mull be latisfadury tp
the Houfe, as well as to his Right Hon. Friend, who
had alfo acknowledged it. The only difference be-
tween the motion propofed by the Hon. Gentleman
who introduced the debate,and that of his Honourable
Friend behind him (Mr. Lafcelles) was, that the for-
mer did nut fo fully Skate the fads, nor recognize the
ncceffity upon which the aft was done. He thought
the motion propofed by his lion. Friend much more
to the purpofe, and that that coupled with a bill of
indemnity, and a few words an amendment, (hating,
that the inftance Should not be drawn into precedent,
would meet the object of both fides of the Houfe.
Mr. ROSE vindicated the conduit of his Right
Hon. Friend (Lord Melville) and the Lords of the
Treafury, on the filbjed of Mr. Jellicoe's a , and
Dated that Mr. Jellicoe had not been originally em.
ployed by Lord Melville, nor had his arrear accrued
under his immediate adminiltration in that depart.
ment, and that the whole of his property had been
fold under an extent towards making good his de-
ficiency.
Lord GLENBERVIE admitted he was a Lord of
the Treafury at the time of fuch minute, but he could
not fay pofitively, whether he was prefent or not
when it was made. His only reafon for fuppoting
that he was not prefent was, becaufe he was habitually
abfent from the Board in that year. He did not think,
however, that any blame attached to him on that ac-
count, as, though the Lords of the Treafury were five
in number, three contlituted a perm for all purpofes
of Wines, and he was occupied at the time more
ofefully for the public. (Dwi'g ibefe two fperehes the
