HOUSE OF LORDS, MONDAY, MAY ift,
The Earl of EXETER took his feat as Marquis
of Exeter.
Lord SUFFOLK faid he held in his hand a Peti-
tion from a perfon of the name of John Herron,
complaing of very grievous hardthips, and pray-
ing for redrefs from that Houfe. His Lordfhip
Paid he was not acquainted with all the faits ftated
in the Petition, nor had he read the whole of it.
But there were fume of the faits which he knew
from his own knowledge, axed, upon enquiry, to
be correctly true ; and, were it not that he had
been out of town at the time the Bill for fulpend- 1
ing the Habeas Corpus MI was hurried through
that Houfe, he would have attended, and (tined
the fads, in oppofition to that Bill : at prefcnt he
would only move that the Petition be brought up ?
The Lop CHANCELLOR faid, be would be the
tall man in the world to deny the right which every
fnbje& had of prefenting petitions to either Houle
of Parliament, and of praying for the redrefs of
any grievance ; but he mull obferve, that it was
a rule generally observed, that when any Noble
Lord brought forward a Petition from an indivi-
dual, he had previoully informed himfelf that the
fads contained in it were not only true, but that
it was drawn up in fuch decent and refpeChful lan-
guage as was fuitable to the dignity of that Houle.
He would therefore put it to the Noble Lord's
own mind, whether it was proper for him to prefs
the Petition until he had more carefully conlidered
the language in which it was drawn up ?
The Earl of SUFFOLK faid, he certainly had not
read the whole of the Petition, but he did not fee
any impropriety in reading it, and (offering it to
lie on the Table.
Lord THURLOW faid, nobody could doubt the
right which every fubjea had to lay his grievan-
ces before Parliament. But it was the duty of
Parliament to fee that the petitions in which they
were Stated, Should not be made the vehicles cf im-
pertinence and Minder; nor that they Should con-
tain any language which it would be unbecoming
the dignity of that Houfe to liften to. If the Noble
Lord was unacquainted with the language con-
tained in the petition, he ought to defer prefent-
ing it until he had examined it.—The Petition was
nut prefented.
Lord SUFFOLK rofe again, and obferved, that
it was necelfary for that Houfe to exprefs the fenfe
which it mull entertain for the merits, and the
memory of the late Sir Ralph Abereromby ; to
whom a monument ought to be erected in St.
Paul's Cathedral; and for whole family fome
provifion ought to be made.
The Earl of Rossacvti faid, if the Noble Earl
had been there the laft day the Houle met, he mull
have recollected the notice which had been given
upon the very fubjeCl which he was then about to
anticipate : and with refpeCt to the honours which
the Noble Lord recommended to be paid to the
memory of the perfon he alluded to, and the re-
muneration of his family, he mull be aware that
fuch a propofition could not originate in that Ho Life.
The LORD CHANCELLOR informed the Houfe,
that he had received an anfwer to the Addrefs of
Thanks voted by their Lordihips to Admiral Sir
Hyde Parker, which he read; and in which that
gallant Admiral expreffed the high fenfe he enter-
tained of the honour which that Houfe had con.
ferred on him.

On the fecund reading of the Bill for divorcing
Mrs. Addifbn from her hulband, it was, on the
motion of the Duke of CLARENCE, ordered to be
committed for Wednefday next, and the Lords
were ordered to be fummoned for that day.
The Earl of CAaN•Rvow prefented a Petition
from an Officer now ferving in the Eall Indies,
whofe name was Williams. The Petitioner hated,
that he had been feveral years in that country, that
he had married a young lady, the daughter of a
Colonel, by whom he had three children ; that
while he and his wife refided in the interior of the
country, his military duty made it neceffitry for
him to go to Calcutta, and other places : that his
wife, whom he left behind him, had, during his
abfence, formed an adulterous connexion with a
perfon, againft whom the Petitioner recovered
Spool. damages in the Supreme Court of Bengal.
The Petition alfiptlated, that it would be impoili-
ble to bring ovef to this country the witneffes who
could prove the adultery, in confequence of the
religions prejudices of many of them, which would
prevent them from leaving their own country, and
from other circumfiances; his perfonal attendance
before the Bar of that Houfe was, from his mili-
tary fituation, alto impraeticable : he therefore
prayed that the Houfe might grant him leave to
have a Bill introduced to divorce him from his
wife, and that the written depolitions of all thofe
witnelfes, taken before prpper Commiffioners,
might be received as evidence, and that his per-
fonal attendance might be difponfed with on that
occafion.
Lord THURLOW raid, the Houfe could never
fufer filch a proceeding as that prayed for in the
Petition to take place, and although the Petition
might be received, it was neceltsry to apprife the
Petitioner or his Agents, of the expence they mull
incur if they brought in a Bill which could not be

The Petition was received, and ordered to lie on
the table.
THANKS TO THI OFFICERS IN EGYPT.
Lord Rosser rote, he faid, purfuant to the no-
tice he had given, to move the Thanks of that
Houle to the Officers who had fo glorioufly ditlln-
gnithed themfclves from the time of the landing
of the Britifk troops in Egypt, until the brilliant
otnaincd Vn tin 7 tit of March. It was im•

'• That the thanks of that Houle be given to the Hon. Major.
General Julia HILT Him:unison, fecoud in command under
General Sir Ralph Abercromby ; Major-General Sir Evae
Cote re ; Major-General DOT LC ; Major-General the Earl of
CAVAN; Major-General Moose; Major-General LUDLOW;
Brigadier-General S r ; and Brigadier-General Hort ; for
the ability, valour, and intrepidity with which they had effedl-
cd a landing on the coil* of Egypt, with the troops under their
comma nl, although oppofed by a fuperior force ; and for the
fignal Victory which they afterwards gained on the 21 ft of
March, before Alexandria : That the Thanks of the Haute
be gi% en to the feveral other Officersbelooging to the army in
Egypt Acd that the Houle doth highly approve of the good
order, the difcipline, courage, and animation with which the
Non-commillloned Ofßeers and Privates belonging to the feve-
ral Regiments had received and repulfed the enemy, after they
had fo gallantly effected a landing on the coaft of Egypt, and
with which they bad gained the glorious Victory of the sift o f
March: And that the fame be communicated to them by the
Commanding Mai of their refpedive Regiments."
Lord Moms raid, the motion met with his molt
hearty concurrence : and it gave him no (mall de-
gree of pleafure to find that his fellow-foldiers had
proved to the world that the Englifli army was as
capable of performing as brilliant atchievements as
any other army in the world. That had always
been his opinion. Their Lordfhips might rem'. •
lea his having Rated that opinion in that Houk,
and of his having at one time in particular laid,
that whenever a proper opportunity fhould prefect
itfeif, by which the British troops could difplay
their valour, they would appear not to be inferior
to any other troops upon etu-th ; not even to their
brethren in the navy. Happy lie was to fee his
prediction now verified. He heartily joined in
every panegyric that had been fo juftly bellowed
on the brave and ineflimable Sir Ralph Aber-
cromby ; and he had alfo to add, that befides his
high profeflional charadler, there could not be
found a man of greater integrity. Before he fat
down, he mull obferve, that had it not been for
the imprudence and mikonduCt of his Majelly's
late Minillers, that great and valuable charaarr
might (till be (pared to his country : we fhould not
now have to regret his Lifs, and the lots of fo much
Britifh blood. Hail the French been Caere(' to
evacuate Egypt, in confequence of the treaty of
El-Arifch, we fhould have had no occafion to
fend a great expedition to that country, and a
treaty of peace might at this day have been con-
cluded with France.
Lord MULGRAVE rote to exprefs his furprife and
regret that any thing like a difference of opinion
Ihould exifk on the prefent occafion ; he was is
Lopei that nothing but the molt cordial unani.
mity would have prevailed that day. He was
forty, therefore, that the Noble Lord had mixed
any political refleaions with the approbation
which lie gave to the motion : and he could
have wilhed that fuch refieCtions had been made
the fubjeel of a fpecific motion, and deferred to
6 Tome other day. Whatever opinion might be en.
tertained of the breach of the Convention of El.
Arifch, or however the confequences of the French
not having been faired to evacuate Egypt, might
be deplored, It was no (mall confolation to reflea,
that the circumaasce had afforded an opportuni-
ty to the Britifh troops, to thew to the *odd that
they were not inferior to any others whatever ;
and that they were fully entitled to that military
reputation which the pedantry of tome European
difciplinarians, and the vanity and infolence of our
enemies would haie denied them. But the recent
difplay of Britifh military valour and difciplina
was not new: As a foldier he mutt declare, that
he had witneffed it on all occafions in which be
had ever had an opportunity of teeing Britifh
troops engaged with an enemy. They had al•
ways united the Illiaeft order and difcipline with
the molt heroic valour.—The feveral motions were
then put and carried unanimoully.
Lord HOZAILT then moved—

That the Thanked the Houle be Om

hard& in roving -pubSe thanks to every Nicer
who had been diftinguifhed for valour and zeal in
Egypt, he should fcarcely know where to flop.
Ile was as ready as any Noble Lord could be, to
acknowledge and to applaud the talents, the cou-
rage, and zeal of Sir Sidney Smith ; but he under-
(Food it would be a deviation from the general
praftice on there occafions ; and was apprehenfive
It would be injurious tu the interefts of the fervice
to make a fpecific motion of thanks to any Officer
of his rank, particularly when it was confidered
that Sir Sidney Smith was not in this inftance the
Commander of the Seamanand Marines employed
on chore. It was alto desirable that no difference

of the commiflions of Captain Cochrane and Sir
Sidney Smith, in order to (hew that had they been
' in the Army, they would have been 'ere now in
the fituation of Major-Generals, or Brigadier-Ge-,
nerals, and therefore that they were entitled to
higher confideration in point of rank than the Co-
lonels of regiments, with whom the Noble Secre-
tau of State feemed to think them on a level.
The LORD CHANCILLOR faid, no terms could
prefs the high fenfe he entertained of the merits
of Sir Sidney Smith, and he was perfuaded that
gallant Officer would feel no pleafure in the adop-
tion of a motion which might be injurious to the
general intereils of the fervice ; but in order that
no abfolute negative fhould be givers to a motion
of this nature, he Should move the previous queflion.
The Dues of CLaassicr perfifted in fupporting
his motion, Rating, that no argument had been
offered on the other fide to convince him that it
ought not to be agreed to. The difference of the
votes of the other Houfe of Parliament was no
good ground of oppofition.
Lord AUCKLAND corroborated the arguments
of his Noble Relation, as to the impropriety of al-
lowing a precedent to be efiablifhed fo contrary to
the general cufiom, by voting a motion of Thanks
to an, fubordinate Officer. It might lead to the
pradice of every Noble Lord riling to move the
Thanks of the Houfe to his particular friend or
relation in the army or navy ; and who would at-
tempt the invidious task of queftioning the juflice
of thofe claims? On this ground, and under the
conviction that the character of Sir Sidney Smith
required not the thanks of that Honk, which on a
former occaflon it defervedly obtained, to lift it
• higher, he was againfi the motion. On that occa-
fion, he obferved the circumflances were materially
differerff from the prcfent, as that brave Officer
bad the command in chief of the detachment, and
was at a confiderable difiance from any fuperior
officer. It could, he conceived, he more grateful
to any officer that a Motion of Thanks fhould ori-
ginate with his Majefty's Minifters, who had the
bell opportunity of judging of their merits, and
who were refponfihle Tor any propofitions they
fubmitted to Parliament.
Lords WRIMIORRLAND and Mote:Ravi concur-
red in applauding the condo& of Sir Sidney Smith,
but difapproved of the Motion of Thanks, as like-
ly to introduce a practice prejudicial to the fervice.
Lord Ronnie commented on the obfervations
of the Noble Lord (Auckland) refpeding the ufage
of the Houfe ; and Rated a cafe in. point with the
modest of the Royal Duke, when, on his recom-
inendation to the late Piet Lord niche Admiralty,
a motion of thanks was propofed and agreed to in
that Houle to Admiral Cornwallis, who was then
In a fubordinate Ration. _ _ _

Lord Sr. VtacsaT (aid, that Captain Cochrane
lad three Captains on (bore ailing under him, in
onjuntlion with Sir Sidney Smith.
The Ma, bf Ctaasues Paid, that as the official
4ifPatches mentioned no other naval officer on
fhore than Sir Sidney Smith, he was led to think
him the Commander in Chief of the detachment,
and firongly entitled to the Thanks of the Houfe.
However, as he onderllood from the other fide
that no motion of Thanks was to be agreed to,
void's at originated with the Noble Secretary of
State. and that nothing coming from fuch a bum.
Isle individual as himfelf, uneonncSed with admi-
ni(tration, could have any chance of adoption, and
uniedling that a motion of the nature he intro-
4uted 11,,,u1d be rejeeed, be would withdraw it.
Cot& kicms.r Lid the iUuttrious Duke mdtook

`:

Itiould appear in the Votes of both Hou(es on this
fubjed ; and if the motion recommended by the
Illuarious Duke was adopted, they would not
correfpond.—The motion was here put and agreed
to unanimoufly.
Earl ST. VINCENT Rated, that the Seamen and
Marines on fhort in Egypt were commanded by
the Hon. Capt. Cochrane, an Officer fenior in
rank to Sir Sidney Smith, to whom, however, he
was every ready to fay no Officer in the fervice
was fuperior in merit.
The Duke of CLARINCI, in reply to the objec-
. tions of Lord Hobart, as to the rank of Sir Sidney
Smith on this occafion, quoted the recent cafe of
Col. Stewart, who was particularly fpecified in
the vote of thanks, for his gallant conduit off
Copenhagen. He therefore moved 4, that the
Thanks of the Houle should be given to the Hon.
Captain Cochrane and Sir Sidney Smith :" the
character of the former ever entitling him to the
approbation of that Houfe and the country.
The Earl of MOIRA paid a handfomecompliment
to the charaderof Captain Cochrane. He denied,in
the name of his profeffion,that anyofficer in the ar-
my would be capable of feeling any jealoufy, as had
been infinuated as poffihle, if the motion of the
illuftlious Duke fhould be adopted. They admired
fortitude and talents with too much lincerity to
repine at any diflindion that might be attached to
thofe who poffeffed them in a degree fo eminent as
Captain Cochrane and Sir Sidney Smith.'
Lord BORRINODON obferved, that as the name
of Captain Cochrane was not mentioned in the
Gazette, and as it feemed the opinion of the Houfe
that a vote of thanks fhould not be granted to Sir
Sidney Smith, without conneding it with the name
of an officer, perhaps very deferving, but who was
not fo mentioned in the official account as to war-
rant the Houfe in taking fuck :particular notice of
him, he would oppofe the motion.
Lord Kamm oppofed the Motion of Thanks as
injudicious In the mode, though he added his tri-
bute of approbation to the conduit and charafter
of the meritorious officers alluded to.
The Doer of CLARINCI remarked on the date

Mtn intleh if he imagined thee obferiations whicb '
fell from him did not, in his opinion, deferve the
molt refpeaful confideration ; but the opinion or
no perfon, however high in rank and importance,
fhould induce him to depart from his fenfe of pub-
lic duty. He was happy the illuftrious Duke had
withdrawn his Motion, and affured him it was with
great relatance he gave it any oppofition.
After fome further remarks from Lords Rom-
ney, Holland, and Hobart, the Motion of the Duke
of Clarence was withdrawn, and it was ordered
that the Lord Chancellor fhould tranfmit the ufual
Votes of Thanks.
Lord SuFFOLIC rote to move, that a Monument
fhould be et efted in St. Paul's Cathedral, to the
memory of Sir Ralph Abercromby ; but on the
Lord Chancellor Rating that as the Motion would
involve the expenditure of the public money, it
could not originate in that Houfe, his Lordihip
did not perfift in the Motion.
