had been sustained against him. He would ask the
Secretary at War, whether a meeting of General
Officers did not lately take place, when the Duke of
York was expected to be in the chair ? He had heard
that the purport of that meeting was,.to express their
satisfaction relative to the conduct of his Royal
highness. He believed the information which he
,bad received on the subject to be. perfectly true ;
and he considered such meetings highly indecorous
and dangoous under the present circumstances.—
Was the. ll‘use, under the present discussion, to be
influenced by the opinion of general officers ? When
general officers spoke to the character of the Duke
of York, and nvntioned obedience and subordina-
tion in the army, they ought to think of obedience•
to the -state, which was due from the highest officer
Ito the meanest soldier. The voting of -plate to offi-
cers for services, might be subversive of strict mi-
litary subordination, Voting a sword to Sir Home
