Lord ELLENBOROUGH .aid, the Noble Lord (Holland)
had shewn him the Petition, and he could not at first recollect
who the person was, but he at last recollected it was a person
who formerly had a snit, and the Judges were called to decide
on the construction of a will. He had received several libels
from a printed paper, part of which he read, and being dis-
gusted with the libellous matter, sent it hack to the Editor,
doping he might not be troubled on suds a subject in future.—
He knew nothing of the person, and he could only say, if the
Judges bad acted to excite displeasure, it was in the fair exercise
of their duty.
lord REDESDAI.E d;d not observe that the Petition contain-
ed any charge worthy the least attention.
Lord STANHOPE said, be had refused to present the Pei-
tion, because it contained a statement that the Judges had c,n-
ducted themselves improperly, without saying why or how.
After some farther discussion between Lords HOLLAND, SID-
MOUTU, STANUOPE,ADdLAUDEDDALL, the Petition was unani-
mously rejected.
THANKS TO LORD WELLINGTON.

Earl BATHURST rose and observed, that the
victory which their Lordships were now called upon
to commemorate, sv.7.s of a nature as decisive in it-
self, and as gigantic in its results, as any which had
graced the military annals of England. Not only
were the enemy defeated and driven off the field, hut
they had lost all their artillery, their stores, their bag
gage, and, in short, every thing that constitut:!cl N.
material of an army. They had been compelled to
abandon the strong military positions on the Ebro,
which they had been fortifying for months, and
' where they reckoned upon making a staid, if forced.
to relinquish that portien of Spain which they had
previously held. But the great talents of Lord Wel.
iingt'n %%ere not less displayed in the decisive battle
of Vittoria, than in the skill with which the ca•:lin:Igo
had bee:i planned, and the rapidity with which it
been conducted. The enemy had imagined that the
fortifications which they had constructed at Toro and
other places, but particularly at Bargos, *Quid ret
the movements of the British General, till they should
he able at least to carry off their magazines in secu-
rity.
however, was the skill of Lord Welling.
ton's rnanceuvres, and the rapidity with which they
were conducted, that all the plans of the enemy were
confounded. No sooner had the Allies advanced into
Spain, than they hastily abandoned all their points of
defence,and were even constrained to evacuate BurgoF,
on which they had expended so much labour, blowing
up the foe tifications at the approach of our army. They
abandoned l'ancorvo and Miranda on the Ebro, with
equal rapidity ; so that in less than a npnith they be-
held our army threatening their magazines at Vittoria,
which they were compelled to defend at every hazard.
Here the contest was never for a moment doubtful.—
Indeed, the enemy, confounded and subdued by su-
perior skid, even before the action, seemed not to have
displayed that valour for which they have been dis-
tinguished on other occasions. They appear to have
fought with spirit only on two points :—the one on
their right, where it v. as their object to cover or re-
gain the main road to France by Bayonne, but in
which they were completely repulsed by the troops
under Sir T. Graham : the other point was on the left,
where they endeavoured, in vain, to retake the coma
manding positions that were forced and maintained
by the division of Sir Rowland Hill. It was in this
pact of the field that Colonel Cadopn received the
wound which cost him his life. Feeling that his
wound was fatal, he made it his last request to his
brother soldiers, that they would convey him to a
small eminence in the rear. There seated with his
back leaning against a tree, he gazed on the field of
battle, till death shut his eyes in darkness. He was a
gallant officer, as brave in action, as amiable and re-
spectable in private life. He (Lord Bathurst) la-
mented sincerely the losses which our army had
sustained, but he believed they would be found in-
considerable when compared with the magnitude of
the victory which had been gained—a victory that
would be ever memorable in the annals of the coun-
try, and of which it was impossible to calculate the
beneficial consequences. It was not a little remark-
able, that near the spot where this battle was fought,
another victory had been obtained in one of the
proudest days of England's martial glory. It was
when Edward the Black Prince defeated the usurper
of the Crown of Spain, who on that occasion was
supported by French troops. How different, how-
ever, under all the circumstances, was that battle
from the present f How incomparably superior were
the resources of France at the present day, compared
to what they were then : and how much greater the
talents of the man who was at the bead of her Go-
vernment ! Then France was only an auxiliary ;
now she was a principal : the victory of the Black
Prince was only the result of a single campaign, but
this of a series of campaigns. Could such a victory

honour on Lord Wellington, which was almost
one:amp'• das his services. in modern times it •
certainly the only instance of so distinguhhed a
of military hodiur having been con'erred for
services. He was sure it would be grateful to
°filets who had been passed over, as well as
man in the army, to have at its head the first
meet of the profession. All must be glad that be
been advanced to so oiatingukhed a situation, •
merits so' well deserved, whose talents justified
preference; while the interests of the country
that it should be given to him whose services .
amply earned the highest honours that could be
ferred upon him.
The Marquis WELLESLEY felt himself
on to make a few observations. The Noble

had alluied to the military rank bestowed on
Marquis Wellington 6y his Majesty, as the
professional meed he caul I receive, and
the remark w.ts true. Eut if the meed were

the merit was no lecs so. It was to In cons!,

that the Nc,ble Persnn who ek as the object of_
Noble Secrtary's motion. did appear before - ,

as a new m.m, hut is one who had been tried by

•
the circumstances cc,:ld contribute to bri

his character and merits at once to the severest
most honourable test. First at the head of an al
wit') whicli he s, as obbged to pursue a tiny 3,

protracted system of defence against .an enemy
much ru^erinr to him in `►rce. In pursuing
,"stem of a pmient 2nd:lntace of diAicuhies that
tingui,hed O.lcer received the unanimous thanks
Parliament. Afterwards vif:;il;nt hold of.
incident or circumctln-e of adv.totage, he made
sodden and succecs!ul. adv.►nce into the country,

snatched victory out of tie bosons of retreat: To
day Iv^ stood before their Lordships in a new t:
of Ivor. No longer vtuggling with those di
ti •s, and iaoflit:ent mina% which before hid checked

his progress, and c-.-np?:led him to measures
caution and retreat, he had drawn (mil the mean
of opening the campaign and entering on it wit
the full display of all its grwt interests. The
means he was glad to acknowledge had been amply,
provided in every respect by his Majesty's Mini-
ters. To do what might be done by the,c means,,
guided and directed by genius and ability, the
Noble Lord presented himself that day in a new'
situation, and in a season duly cho•en. The cir.l
cumstances of !e tail which he had already men-1
tioned shewed then undoubtedly that the Govern.
mcnt at home had provided sufficient means to
enable the Noble Lord who commanded the British
forces to perform this gl ainus and an;matine,
achievement, an achievement that would be for ever'
dear and cherished as our national pride, which was
accomplished by one of tle first military geniuses the
country had ever produced, and which had never
been surpassed in any of the circumstances of mi.
litary glory. He had heard it sometimes argued that
the splendour of an exploit was nut alone a sufficient
ground for the Thanks of Parliament, that ther
ought to wart until it was ascertained that the prara I
tied results afforded assurance of real advantagel
having.heen gained. It has been however the pnas,
ciple of all great States, in effect, and he should everl
contend that it ought to be so in theory likewise, that
military fame constituted the best security of
cal independence, and that the paths of glory were;
the paths that led to safe and honourable peace.H
(Hear, liar.)—He was far indeed from saying that)
they ought not to advert to the substantial conses,
quences of victory and to the foundation upon which'
every military success, however signal, rested its
claims to the :approbation of Parliament. He admitted
then first, that Lord Wellington had been amply slip.
plied with all the efficient means for carry:llg his
own plan into complete execution—that of producing
by a great effort a decisive .effect upon the French
force opposed to him ; to the same principle on which
he condemned Ministers in the last campaign, be now
praised them. Whether these means had been calcu-
lated merely by an estimate of that force instead of
being extended to still larger and ulterior views, he,
knew not, but he knew that the Noble Lord's principle'
of conduct had uniformly been to lispose of the force'
immediately opposed to him, and is i.-rwards do the best
with the means that remained in his possession. With
respect to the troops 'a hich had embarked from Sicily,
concerning which force there were some disastrous
rumours, the question of policy was, could the perj
soil who was to be immediately affected by their att.!'
sistance, have had it in his power to control their
operations, and make them subservient to the gene-
ral purposes of the campaign ? He hoped the Intel.,

keno was not true, but should k onfprtunately prove
go it could not, in his judgment, detract at tell from
Lord Wellington's merits in thp plan and management
of lbe eatnostign. For the final result; of that cam-
paign, there was every ground for indulging the most
sanguine expectations; every circumstance that could
enhance its immediate value, every title that could
leave weiyht with the House in conferring-that meed
of hetwor, which they were now called ppon to grant.
In point uf direct advantage of gairtto ourselves and
Jots to the enemy, the quantity of stores and guns
captured was, he believed, unparalleled in military
history? He recollected, indeed, that in one of Lord.
wellington's victories, in India, he took a hundred
pieces of cannon, and with this exception, there was,
.11e might ventnie to say, no example that approached
it. Was it nothing, then, that Lord Wellington bad
driven before him the principal army of Spatu to the
'northern *frontiers of that country ? That which not
long *ince was deemed an extravagant speculation—
of all visions the most chimerical, of all enterprises
the mist romantic—he meant the invasion of France
—should now be a mere question of prudence on our
part. Whether this was a project that ought to be
posertained, or could be effectually accomplished, he
pretended not to decide ; but it was evidently now a
mere matter of discretion whether certain parts of
the territory of France might not be seized with ad-
vantage. Was it nothing then, he asked again, that
( tive, who had so many years been threatened with
invasion—who were so often told, that we might soon
1 sexpect to see French banners waving on the Tower
of London, wire now in a situation to retort the
l menace ? It was, indeed, a subject of some curio- t
sky and amusement, that that same army which had
`been ordered into the sea at Lisbon? should be now
in the neighbourhood cf Dayonne, and that the ques-
tion of invasion? if a question it still was, was not in-
vasion on this side of the water.r--(llear, hear.)—
This he might at least say. without incurring the
hazard of encouraging too sanguine anticipations,—
I•The next part of his general proposition was, that we
bad now begun to experience the advantages of that
policy which led us to take so extensive a part in the
Spanish war, and which policy was originally found-
ed in the deepest political wisdom.—(Haar, hair.)—
lie did not know whether he was not going too far;
but undoubtedly all that had recently occurred tend-
ed to support this opinion, and to induce Government
' to give the rein to Lord Wellington, who, if human
• ;mans might accomplish the end, had shewn himself
to be the man who could point pot an opening to the
rescue and deliverance of Europe. What had been
the.great objects which were contemplated at the
first outset of the war ? First, to operate a grand
Oiversion, which should afford to either nation the
opportunity of producing their strength and directing
it against the common enemy ; secondly, to establish
the independence of the Peninsula itself. Had not !
both these objects been proved ;It once salutary and
t attainable ?—His Majesty's 14lioisters know, and he
I himself knew, that the Court of Russia had most ear-
-1 pestly requested, that our exertiiins in the Peninsula
should be continued, and regarded the continuance of
those exertions as the condition of its oven success. We
had, then, not mere deduction or general reasoning
to fortify us in our confidence in the original policy of
• the Spanish war, but tho plain position and incontro-
vertible evidence of lac! s.—The object of re-establish-
ing the incierepdepee of Spain Irtd been obstructed
by various emhartassments aaising out et the defects
• of the old Government ; but these score new Rattly
il removed, and the new system of Administration
i founded on just and solid princiFles. This object there
was every reason for believing would now.he attained,
if the war should be can on vigorously and directly
1 to that end, and to carry it on, except on the prin-
i ciple of restoring to the Spaniards the blessings of
igood Government, would be as inconsistent with
i sound policy as it would be false in honesty and de-
; fective in moral feeling. We saw what bad been done
by applying all our resources to the great cause. Now
the p( wor of France had been attnihilated in Spain
by one mighty blow, and the crown of the Usurper
was to be o and nowhere unless in his own Focket.—
He had hut one further observation to moire, and
that related to the Spaniards excluaiyely, He trust-
s ed that the Spaniards would now feel it incumbent
t on them to place their Government in such a situa-
' tion as should be at once acceptable to the nation and
formidable to their enemies. Ile was satisfied that
the Noble Lords opposite would adopt every plea-
• sure for the purpose of promoting this object ; but
what he would wish to express was, that it had now
Ibecome indispensably necessary, and that if de-
feated, it might render the prospect of the war des-
perate in the eyes of the Spanish people themselves.
1 —Every effort should be used to strengthen the
native Government—to purge it of those ancient
corruptions which before exposed it to foreign in-
vasion, and to enable it to resist any future attack
which might be meditated against it. The intro-
( daction of a French force into the Spanish territories
bad been effected indeed by treachery of the basest
character ; be hoped to see the pet iod arrive, when
it would be impossible to renew the foul aggression
, by these, or by means of any other description.--
He feared that be had troubled their Lordships at
too great length in his observatioaa on this occasion,
but he had felt extremely anaitius to have it recog-
; pivot that we wero. acting on sobstantial grounds,
that wa !two; upon a glorious eminence, that if Eng
,i land rooild but work as she Bald lately worked, the
`prospect of ultimate triumph and complete success
dawned foil ti eon her. li,e trusted Ministers would see
the wisdom of adhering Singly and unintert optedly to
the prosecut on of that cause in which they were so
deeply eneaged, as we'd as t f straining' every nerve
in its support. Of the victory itself on which the pa- 1
1 lion was now minseiteg its coogrotulation, is appeared i
VII ,IM to be not less d. irab% as an effort of military •
skill and valour, than it was *ii;lvantageous hi its ion-
' mediate results, and likely to be decisive in its re-
finter operations. It was• 3 'victory which would be

4..01d FOLLAND said, that they had again seen
the Coble Marquis victotinua, after wz.ittng his or
portuoity, like another Vabius ; iticl., after an advance
4.he cat-say of which a Czsar might be proud of.

He was glad to see also that the Spaniards, under the
directions of our Noble Commander, had. acquired a
better spirit. The Noble Lords opposite certainly de-
served pcaise, not for the wisdom with which the.), had
conducted this great cause, but for their perseverance
in it. lie hoped that this great victory would be pro-.
ductive of pace to Europe, as well as of freedom and
happiness to Spain.
The motion was then agreed to nem. efif. as was a
motion of Thanks to the Spanish officers and privates
acting under Lord Wellington.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, that although
the measure could not originate in that House, he
hoped Ministers would not neglect to recommend that
a Monument should 14 erected to the gallant officer,
(Caftan) who had so gloriously fallen on this great
occasion.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL assured the Noble
Bari, that he was prompted to recommend such a
measure, not only from the manner in which that
pliant officer had finished his career, but also from
intithate acquaintance with his truly brave 4nd esti-
mable character.—Adjourned.

of £6OOO be granted for that purpose.
Sir FRANCIS iIIIRDE I T wished to know why Mr. Mani-
son hall not received the remuneration for his invention of the
cork jacket, to preserve seamen from drowning.
Mr. ROSE stated, that he had received full compenAtion
for what ha bad done. The invention, he saicj, was a thing of
twenty years standing, and of course the merit of it was not due
to Mr. MalOon.

In answer to a luestion from Sir FRANCIS BIIRDETT, Mr.
ROSE said, that the Clerks of the Navy Pay Office were obliged
to be uncommunicative upon the subject of the pay of seamen,
in order to prevent imposition.
The conversation having proceeded, the SPEAKER Interposed,
and it dripped, but Sir V. liricosTa• gave notice that he would
to•morrow more for a more easy means of attaining information
upon the subject of the pay of seamen.
Mr. ROBERT SNII I H presented a Petition from certain
persons resident in the town o' Nottinextm, praying the ;louse
to reconsider its former decision, by which a Petition from that
town was rejected, becati4e it was primed.
The SPEAKER informed life House chat the prc sent Petition
prayed for the repeal of a former decision made in the present
Session, and therefore it could not, according to ordinary usage,
be received.

After a few wnr!s from Mr, W. Satire, Mr. An mtcaostott,
and several Diller Members, the Petition WAS accordln,;ly with.
drawn.

In answer to a question front Mr. Wimaa Nt SErrii, Mr. W.
rIT:GLK4I.I) said, it }vas not lti, in (ninon to propo+e any
alteration in the duty upon Salt txportAl from this Country Imo
Ireland.

THANKS TO LORD WELLINGTON, &c.
Lord CASTLEREAGH rose, and said, that in
submitting the :lotion, of which he had given notice,'
to the consideration of the House, he felt a difficulty
in finding language capable of conveying those emo-
tions of adrrinoion which he felt in contemplating
the details of the campaign in Spain. Many Minis.
ters of greater ability had formerly sat where he now
had the honour to be, who might not he equally em-
barrassed in delivering a speech, but he felt in his
own mind, from every information which had reached
him, that the victory of Vittoria . as one of the most
brilliant w hick )% as recta ded in the history of the
world.—(Horr, hear.) It would be presumptuous
in hint to offer many conm-r.-nts of his own, and
he felt the less inclined to make any, atter every
Member was already in possession of the most re-
-1 mat kable events contained in the dispatches of our
great C::purander. Every Gentleman must be
sensible that he did not over-rate the victory when
it was considered that the troops to which our Al-
lies were opposed were as well disciplined as any in
Eurore, that they were amply supplied with mili-
tary stores of every dese iptiun, yet such was the skill
and promptitude •of our incomparable Commando,.
that they sustained a complete defeat, leaving be.
hind them all their cannon, their treasure, and every
article of military equipment which could alone ren-
der them efficient as an army. In stating that much
he was aware that it would be expected from him to
give an account of the number of the enemy's troops
who were engaged, but he regretted that no account
which could be considered official had yet leached
him. He understood, however, ft gm the information
of Officers who had been in the action, and whose ve-
racity he could not doubt, that the enemy's numbers
amounted to 70,000 men on the morning of the 21st,
land that they were composed of the Armies of the
North, the South, the Centre, and of Portugal ; so
that the grand m iss of the French army shared in the
defeat—and had the nature of the country admitted
of our cavalry pursuing the fugitives vigoroosly, he
did not conceive he ventured too fur in saying, that
probably not one man would have escaped to France •
to tell the tale of their disaster—(Loudeharitoo) He
could not slate, with. any precision, the oumoer the
enemy had lost, but, from the lowest calculation
which he could learn, they must have amounted to
12,000 men, or double the loss in men sustained by
the Allies —(Coritinuerichrering.) The French army
Was pos7 destroyed in point of efficiency, and had
the scene of no other victory been attached to that
of Wellingtrin, that of Vittoria must immortalize
him. In the campaign, and in the actin), the I it us-
trious Command: l.'s comprehensive genius eras cim-
spictioes, and had decidedly confounded the hopes ,
of the enemy on the Peninsula. It was not from any
apprehension of the power of the French that the No,:
ble Lcrd retired before them at the concho ion cf the i
former campaign, but to improve and refit his own
arm;, and a successful result had justified his policy.
The'repose taken in winter had not only been ad- I
vantageous to the British and Portuguese iumics, but
enabled Lord Wellington to inure the Spanish troops l
to a st;-!.te of military discipline and efficiency, which
rendered them worthy and capable of fighting in the
same ranks with their brethren in arms. It was in'
the confident expectatkm Of the complete snccess
of the Allies, that he (I,ord Castlereagh I venrued,
t arly in the Session, to predict the "discornitoire of
the er my. It w:d•aot with an invidious view ff.
lessening the talents of the Generals; o'6e bravery
tric soldiers of other nations that he mirodocel
the e.traordinary Marti: Vittoria„ which the At.

lies had accomplished in the short space of a month,
which ocientific manceuvre enabled them to accom-
•plish more, with comparatively little bloodshed,
than could have been done by ordinary operations
in.a much longer time and more blootlsbed—(ilear,
hear.) By the masterly opt i.ations of the British Ge-,
neral the enemy were successively driven from all;
their positions, and at last reduced. to the alterna-
tive of giving battle, or retiring into France. It
was a proud circnmstance for the present genera-
tion to live in an age when the skill of our com-
manders and the reputation of our arms were higher
than at any former period of our history. It mast
be acknowledged, that in the progress of the war
the situation of the Allies was somcwh4 uhfavour-
' able, but the great mind-of our Commander was
I never overcenrT by any difficulties which presented
themselves, and instead of defending the lines of
Torres Vedris, he now pursued the enemy almost
upon their own frontier. He conceived that the
Goverhment at home too would be found to have
lorwatcled the views of the General, and amply
supplied him with every thing necessary to the m-
ention of his brilliant plans, and thereby enabled him
to reverse the haughty threat of the enemy to drive
the English into the sea—(Hear, hear.) Such a daz-
zling result must prove highly grateful to every Bri-
ton, but particularly to that House, composed of
the Representatives of a free and powerful people,
whose efforts were united in restoring the liberties
and independence of other nations.—(Hear, hear.)
4 would be very unbecoming in him to presume
to form any conjecture on the probable termination
of the present war, especially as all human events
were guided by the immutable decrees of ?Boer-
DENCE ; but as the protecting care of Pitovioesei
had hitherto watched over the destines of Brtain, he
saw no reason for thinking that success would not
crown our efforts to establish the general liberties of
mankind—(Beiseraped claering.) He would detain
the House with only one more observation, which
was, that he had reason to apprehend that the names
of all the General Officers who distinguished them-
selves in the battle of Vittoria had nte )et arrived,
but should any be omitted Isy trii44l;e, he would
claim the indulgence of the House to move its Thanks
to such Officers, when more minute particulars should
arrive. The Noble Lord concluded by moving

" That the Thanks of the Home be given to Fit-Pi-Marshal
the Marquis of Wvi.L,NcroN, for the energy and cliiiipgiiished
ability with which he conducted the operations of the Allied
Army during the present Climpaign, but particularly MI achiev-
ing the splendid victory ut Vittoria, which terminated hi the de.
fiat of the enemy, and the capture oat their cannitn, ammuni-
tion waggons, and baggage."

The Motion was received with lotti cheerings from
every part of the Honse.

Mr. FREEMANTLE rose to second the motion,
and in act animated speech psonounced the Ire vic-
tory to be well worthy of all the commendation
which the Noble Lord had bestowed on it, and there-
fore he conceived the present v,;te would pass with
acclamation. In speaking upon a subject which
must greatly interest every man in the kingdom,
there can exist but one sentiment of admiration, and
therefore every party feeling ought to be laid aside.
He was persuaded that the great military gen;us of
Lord Wellington had already achieved mote than
had been done. by any other Whitish Commander,
and therefine he would give his Lordship unquali-
fied approbation. He would alio admit that the Bri-
tish- Governmsnt were entitled to a considerable
share of praise for their promptitude in sending those
Supplies to his Lordship which enabled him to act
with such decision and vigour. It was his (Mr.
Freemantle's) good fortune to have been entertained
for the last three days with the details of the cam-
paign by a near relation with shared in the glory of
it, and he was fuily Satisfied that the loss of the ene-
my was rather under-rated by the Noble Isstrd. He
was warranted in so saying, flout the admission of
French Officers who were made prisoners. He could
also state, /root what he had learnt of Lot d Wel-
lington's character, that it wss not the hero aloe
whom Enpdislimen ocght to admire, hut we
ought likewise to esteem the man, whose pri-
vate virtues were no less conspicuous and amiable
than his military genius was splendid and compre-
hensive. His tenderness towaids the prisoners whom
the chance of war had thrown into his hands, was as
praiseworthy as his humane care of the sick and
wounded of his own army. He lamented that he
was not gifted with cleqoence to enable him to do
still farther justice to a General of such consummate
skill, whose masterly mancouvies had produced so
brilliant a victory, and whose splendid talents would
be still more displayed in the liberation of mankind
trent the challis which the enemy threatened to im-
pose upon them. He would not propose any motion
on the subject, but merely throw in a suggestion for
the House to address the Prince Regent, that he
would direct the thanks of the House to be conveyed
to his Lordship by his own Aide de Comp, who had
been the herald of the glorious intelligence to this
country.

Lorl CA STLE R EACH said he believed the loss
of the enemy to have been much greater than the es-
timate which It made horn the official returns mid
which did not include a considerable number of pri-
soners made before the battle, nor many who ni;glit
be suppcsed to be made after it.
Sir EYRE COO said he had been extremely
anxious to have followed the spei:ch of the Noble
Lord, and to do just cc to the masterly talents of
Lord Wellington, which achieved so glorious a vic-
tory. He telt extremely happy that the N,ble Mar-
quis had been created a Field Marshal, and as all the
°dicers and men under him were companions in
arms, having the same object in view, fie trusted
their nutted efforts would sotat lead to.a lasting peace
and the future repose and happiness of mankind.—
(Hear, /star.)
Mr. CANNING said, that upon a subject so pro•
lific, it was impossible r Britons to enter.ain a dif-
tereoce of opinion, or for him to say any thing in ap-
piobation of the skill of Lord IVeliing vat, and the
valour of Ins army,' without according with the gene-
rat anti, tents of the people at large. He should not
therefore dwell upon it, but as I,e had advised the
commencement of the' war, as well as its vzorous
prosecution, he be,eted the indulgence of the douse
nor a tew minutes. It was now hve years since the
war bt,Atan, and he was proud to see that the victory
of Vittoria led us to expect that the termination of
our tolls and exprms were not far thstaPt. At the,

commencement, many apprehended that our enn:i•
prize was too great to succeed, and advised a discus;.
continua.nce of it, but the splendid achievements of
our Commander had now rendered ultimate success
more than probable, He was disposed to do ;ample •
justice to Ministers for the promptitude with
they furnished Lord Wellington with ample meaas
of giving full exercise to his comprehensive mind, IF
which in the end was so likely to be so beneficial to
the cause of freedom and humanity. He had fre-
quently humbled the arrogance of France, and dis-
pelled 'the cloud which darkened the minds of men
when they thought that Boaeparte went abroad into •
the earth with Victory chained to his car, and that
his legions were impenetrable and invincible—(Hear,
hear.) —The talisman, i,owever, we; soon broken in
Spain, and in the North of Europe French invtacibi-
lity was put to the test, and a spirit of liberty perve-
ded the mind of every man who had been under the '
bondage of France, and the mighty deluge of Bena.
parte's power had subsided. These happy occur-
, rences were attributable solely to the talents of the
man whose exploits the House went now commemo- •
eating—(Loadchterink) His comprehensive mind
foresaw the whole result, and the celerity of hie
' movements confounded the plins of his adversaries.
Before sitting down, he would advert to the ,sugges.
tion of an tion. Member for an Address to the Prince ,
Regent relative to the conveyance of a vote of th inks
to Lord Wellington, but he saw no necessity for it,
as the House of Commons had ample means of con-
veying its own communicetions. •
Mr. ItOBINSON said he could not surer the ques-
tion to go to a vote without congratulating the House
eq the. remarkable circumstance of no British Gene-
ral Officer being lost to the sjivice. Officers of in•
ferior rank had fallen, and be was very sorry that the
practice of the House would not admit-of a motion
being
.made for the erection of some public imonu. -
ment in remembrance of their merits. One in parti-
cular (Colonel Cadogan) had fallen, and it was the
pride of his life to distinguish himself in the service,
and there was not a battle fought on the Peniii,ule
since he went there in which his talents were ne con-
spicuous, and that he did n t receive the approbation
of his Commanders— (Hear, hear, hear.)
The question was then put, and carried new. co*.
Lord CASTI.EItEAGH then moved, That the
Thanks of the Heine be given to Lieutenant-Gene-
ral Sir Thomas Graham, and all the other General
Officers whose names appeared in the dispetelrel of
Lord Wellington.
The motion w:;s agreed to erns. con.
Lord CASTLEREAGH then said, that it wa;
nit the practice of Parliament to vote Thanks to Of.
ficers of inferior rank by name, although he admitted
I their services to have been highly meritorious. With
r 'geld to Celotiel Cadogan, he 1 imented his loss sin.
cerely, because he knew him et be a gallant aad de-.
serving Officer; but it would be a satisfaction to his ,
friends to know that he died as he lived, a brave ,nen.
On receiving the wound which caused his death, he
requested to he carried to the lop of a hill, where he
could view and contemplate the brileant victory
which his gallantry contributed to achieve—(Hear,
hear, hear I)

Lord CASTLEREAGH then moved the Thalak;
of the Mouse to the orhAr Officers, Non-commissicmel
Officers, and Men, which was agreed to nem. eon. •
His Lordship next moved Resoiuticas approving
of the zeal and valour displayed by the Portuguese
and Spanish Officers and Meu in the battle of Vit.
torin. They were als r agreed to, and the Speaker i
was directed to transmit the .same to Lord Welling,
ton, to be communica.ed to the Allied Array,
1 COLONEL ORDE, i
Mr. W. SMITH said, that after the heartfelt sa. i
tisfaction expresseid this day by every Gentleman, he ,
should be happy to proclaim an amnesty, and give !.•
up the motion of which he had given notice, were it
not that his public duty compelled him to bring it
foiwird. He feared it was a motion in which hp o,'
should meet with much opposition ; hot ilien he had 1.
the pleasure to think that he v, as advocating the cause ‘'
of those soldiers who had lately been gainin4 tor ri
such spleudiel victories. He thought it was a matter . ,
of importance that the Minutes of a certain Court-
-martial should be laid before the House. He had re.:
ceived A letter from Halifax, in Nova Scotia, where gl
this Courtonartial was held. The letter was frail an !4
old Offiaer high in the service, and many years resi.
dent in th..t county-t. The Court-martial was for the
trial of Col.inel Cr re, on charges of tyranny, etr,d the
writer of the le- ter conceived that it was.a case tit fOr
the consideration of the House of Commons. He had s,
heard from another quarter that toe trial of Coionel
bide was a very remarkable case, and that no one
could have supposed the sentence of the Court would
ever have been departed trom The case was this: —4
Court-martial seas held in August on Colonel Orde.
The first charge was cruelty to :he men ; the second
was a fraud upon the Quarter-master. Of the first
the Colonel was found guilty ; chi the second he was
found to have acted in a scandalous and infamous
manner, as was set forth in the charge. The third
charge was for cruelty and oppression tollse offic4.7
of the regiment—on which he was found guilty. The
Court was composed of the most re:pectable officers.
Colonel Orde did on his own authority inflict parish.
mends on the soldiers, which the Commanding Olfi-•
cer declared in General Ord ss to rave been tinlaw- •
lul and cruel. It appeared that these peinislim sets
were inflicted with the utmost severity. S 'me of the
men had received sixty lashes on their b ire bat lc. with ,
A canteen u 1
rap. It also dpi)earel that these men were
pt:nished tar the m( st trifling offences : one for having
rust li s stock, another for having lust a notton, and
a third for having a damp belt .tt....r .t wet Jay. Th.:
4-14iii•ant ( lietring) was a wretched instrumen, it:
these cruelties. It was the practice in the regiment '
for the private men to make their complaints to toe
Commanding Officer through taeor OLh eer s—he ‘v.ILS
sorry to sty, that scarcely any re. r, sent diem had
ever been made by any Odiser on the eau I die •
priv..te, in which the Oilicer or the private was
not reprimanded; and, in m •ny instances, tunes .ed.
He mentioned cot• instaitce in particular. of cruelty
and iimessien exercised toward, a p ivats., n tied 1
