MILITARY DAYINCY.

Colonel CRAUFORD moved for &venal papers
of military detail, which were ordered.
He then moved for a return of the number of dif•
charged foldiers, exclufive of invalids, by the returns
from India, during each of the lan five years.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
had no objeftinn to the motion, if it could be eon]•
plied with officially, and he believed.it could. But
it could be of little fervice to the Mover, as the India
European force has for fome years paR been in a Rate
of progreffive and fyftematie diminution.
Colonel CRAUFORD wilted the return might be
made, as he purpofed (hewing that the &It India
Company's Army, which is enlifted for a term of
years, fußains no aftual injury from that circum-
Rance, the men enlilling, in general, after the expi•
ration of their original term. He, however, with-
drew his motion till Monday, in order to his framing
it In as to go farther back than five years.

made on the Cunene of the Chancellor of the Ezlhopeer, who,
whiltt expreffeng his with to that purport, manifefted inihtite

PROCESS:OIIIOS ItILATM vo eta y otserzorrit.
This Wag the day axed by Coloael WOOD for
his motion for the prodoftion of the proceedings of
the Court Martial relative to Sir John Duckworth,
he role in his place and Rated to the Houfe, that he
was willing to defer his motion for tome days lon-
ger, thaesvery Gentleman might have fufficient op
portunity of informing himfelf on the fubjeft. This
delay had been fuggefled by tome Hon. Gentlemen,
and timid it meet the approbation of the Houk, he
would renew his notice for this day fe'nnight.
Mr. BAKER did not wilh to oppok the delay pro-
pofed by the Hon. Gentleman. but could not help
remarking. that this was the fecund time he had de-
ferred his motion without adducing any fatisfaaory
ground for that delay. He complained at the fame
time that the Hon. Member had handed about papers
on this fubjea, one of which he had got put into his
hand on entering the Houfe, and which was calcu-
lated to make an impreffion on the public mini, to
the prejudice of the Hon. Baronet who was the fob-
jell of the intended motion.
Colonel WOOD then Rated, that though he wifhed
to give Members time to confider the cubjea, he had
no objeaion to bring it forward now, !hootsl it ap-
pear to be the defire of the Houfe. The paper of i
which tie Hon. Member complained (Capt. Wood's
memorial to the Lords of the Adm?talty) he Rated
to be a public document, and therefore a proper
fubjeft of attention for the Houfe.
Admiral MARKHAM law no reafon why the
queltion fhould not now be determined, as it merely
related to the propriety of producing the proceedings
and not to the merits of the Court Mania'. For his
own part, he acknowledged himfelf hotlile to the pro-
dation of thole papers.
On Col. Woos 's riling to explain,
The SPEAKER obferved, that there was no fillet-
lion before the Houfe, and it remained for the Ht in.
Gentleman to determine whether he would defer his
motion, or now bring it forward purfuant to notice.
C,l. WOOD then rote, and previoufly to the mo-
tion he intended to make, begged leave to read a me-
morial from Captain Wood to the Lords orthe Ad-
miralty, which exhibited in detail.the variou charges
againft Sir John Duckworth. Captain Wi od had
been fisperfeded in the command of the Acafia fr gate
on pretence of recciviug a fuperinr. Another Cap-
tain h td been appointed to bring that veffel home horn
the Wen Indies, which, contrary to Aft of Pal lia.
merit, the Admiral had employed to convey home
logs of mahogany, wows, and other articie, as pre-
fents to his friends. _ _

Hay's.; read this memorial, the H tn. Member
(poke at ('me length. However natural it might be
for him to feel for a brother; however much be might
feel for a Captain of the Navy being fa cruelly tiled
as Captain Wood had been, he might perhaps have
notwithtlanding paired over this treatment in fitence,
however unpin ur unbecoming, had nUtthe violation •
of an Ad of Parliament been in queflion. He did
not lee how the Houle hefoate to tel
city their condemnation of filch conduct. They bad
b:en now bnfy for .months pall in condemning the
violation of Ads of Parliament, and therefore could
not continently overlook the prefent inftance. He
maintained that it could not be Paid that no inconve-
nieoce bad been fittlained. The men of the Acaula mull
have been incommoded by the articles on board, and
even ntany of them turned out of their births. He
would with to know of an Hon. Admiral ( admiral
Mai kham), if fuch a practice was .cutlomary. Cer-
tain he was that it could not be lefs on that account
a violation of the MI of Palliament, and if fn ought
immediately to be reformed. Captain Wood had
been fuperfeded in the Acadia, and Captain Dunn,
the Admiral's own Captain, fent home with that vet
beoaufe Captain Wood would not have been con.
cerned in fuch tranfaitions. The Court Martial,
however, before whom the charges had been brought
forward, had acquitted Sir John Duckworth, and
pronounced the chargei' proundlers. It was for this.
reaf -n he withed their proceedings to be brought
under the review of the Hoare. Ti,is nitafure was
not without a precedent. The cafe of Capt
in the year :745 off Toulon, mentioned by Mr. Mac-
arthur, WAS applicable to toe prefent queftion.
was the duty of the Houle to take cognizance there-
fore of the p,uceediogs of this Court Martial, if the)
withed to pleferve the naval glory of rue country,
and not to open a door to the moll flagrant atmies.
The Hon. Member concluded with moving, " ['hat
there be laid before the Houle the Proceedings of tilt:.
Court Mat tial on Admiral 6ir Duckworth—a-
alto, a Ctipy of the Memorial of Captain Wood to
the Lords of the Admiralty-3.11J the
.opiiii"n W
Cuuniii that was was given oh-thatsMeavai.d."
M. 1)11/4.:KENSG:: could fee, no advantagetPa►

void accrue to -the pnblie from this meafnre, op.
had any fuffieient ground been made nut for irs adop.
ann. The opinion of Counfel related only to the .in.
lation of the Aft of Parliament. and had been give
without a knowledge rithe particnlar cirrunlffAnc....
whereas the Court Martial had an ("ports, ni t
*mining viva vote evidence. and confided of two pp,.
lons of the fame rank as the profecutne. The Pirht
Hon. Member concluded his remarks by obfervior,
that as Captain 'Wood had esperieOced nn kenoi...
nience in his profeffion. from the judgro...r r,r thf.
Court Martial, it was the leli neceCary to ciPrrY the
queltinn farther.
Mr. Massa-, Sir W. Tarns, and Mr. ti“tre,
defended the charader of Sir J3hn Ditrkworli, ppd
from their perfonal knowledge of him, v.nrerded
that no perfon could be ler' apt to tranfgref the ruler
of the Greice.

Lnrd GLENBERVIE thought Cie H itre inner
fering with the proceedings nf a Court Ma,rial with.
nut better grounds, would form a dangercus pre-
cedent.

Admiral MARKHAM vindicated the (+armeer
of the Gallant Officer, under si bons he had Urved
many years, and never knew him in any infiance do
a thing oppreffive to any officer. The charge of
bringing home articles as prefents to his friends, would
be applicable. he contended, to every officer of the
navy. As a Lord of the Admiralty, he had often
&fired his friends to bring him home a pipe of wine.
and referred to other Gentlemen prelim if they had
not done the fame. The praffice was well knows to
be cultomary.
Col. WOOD did nit think it proper en arse the
queßion farther at prefent, as it did not teem to meet
the concurrence of the Houk, but gave notice that
early nest Scffion he would bring it forward in ano-
ther fhape.
On the quelii,m being put from the Chair the ite
motion be accordingly withdrawn,
Capt. HARVEY isifified, for the honour of the
Gallant Officer who had been the fuhjeft of their
converfation, that the queßion be put on the motion.
The queftion was put accordingly, and the m"tiop
negatived without a difientient voice.

in oppofing the Noble Claimant He then
entered at I'me length into the hittory of the &lye-
reignty of thit Maud, and gave a mo't minute de.,
tail of the various proceedings rerpeding the claims
of that Noble Family. He contended for it that the
Noble Duke had fold a barren (centre. If this bargain
was now to be broken, as well might thole with. the
Dukes of Grafton, Richmond, and Ormond be pro•
poled to be altered after the lapfe of a great number
of years. Seeing that there was not any proof of
grnfs inadeqiracy in the enmpenfation given to that
Noble Perforrage, whole claims were now fubmitted
to the Honk, he felt it to be his duty to oppofe any
revifion of his claims, or any alteration being
-made
in the bargain which had been entered into b:tween
him and his Majefly's Government He therefore
propofed, as an amendment, that this Report be
taken into confideration this day three months.
Sir WM. BUR R OWES declined clefts tug into the
difeuffion of topics that were not now before the
Houfe. However, from a general view of the Hit
tory of the Sovereignty of the Ida of Man, and from
the opinion of Lord Coke, and feveral other-writers
on the fubjea, he maintained that thlive was no tri
bunal in this country competent to decide upon the
merits of the cafe, when it was firft difenied.in (treat
Britain. Lord Coke had ezprefsly Rated, that the
Ifle of Man was an independent kingdom of
that it was no part of England, and thr conlequent•
ly the Parliament, or the Government of England,
had nn more authority over it than it would hare
over a ry taller independent State,- eicept in a cafe
where there was a rational ground of war, loch as
might be deemed fit with repel to any other power.
The Noble Dakethkd gven up his right, under an,
impreffi of comptilin r which had never been
crated frAm his mind ; and in jirffice we were b. and
to make him ample compenfation for his of the
honour of •the S-vereigury, as v ell for his pecunia-
ry tors in revenue. He therefore (uppnried the origi-
nal moti ,n.
Mr. BOND drew a very different inference from
I what bad been 'Wed by the Right Honourable and
Learned Baronet, as his conaufions from, the wri-
tings of Lord Coke, and added, that the opinions et
the Attorney and Solicitor General on the cafe, bore
him out i . t:g ideas he had formed on the itibk.6.—
After all the dellberatioa with which the claims of
1 the Nolde Duke had been attended n., he thought it
would be I ig .ly improper to open the bargain asrdb,
and grant him an additional compenfation.
Lotd GLENBERVIE afked if the opinions of
the Attorney and Solicitor General were to be con.
(*tiered a; law ; or that they were fuppoled to be
binding on any Memb.r of that Lord
Coke's opinion was erroneo ia with relj.eft to the tight
of England tti legiflate for Ireland at shit time, as
had been declared afterward in dee by the AM of
1782.
His opinion telative to the Ilk of Man was
equally unfounded. But the Attorney and S..lit.itor
General had only pronounc.d a negative opinion ou
the cafe, they had never come (o any pilau decifion.
For his part he thought that, from a confidetation of
.all the circumtlances of the cafe, if he was on a jilt y
upon the, merits of the cafe, he Ibould be bound to
Lay, that at ICA it was entitled to teconfidcation.

Mr. BANKES, Mr. W I LBERFORCE, and Mr.
C, EY, argued the motion.
Mr. SHER [DAN laid, he would detain the Houle
only with a very few words, and the rather he fhnnhl
he difpoied to confine hi. remark., becaufe, excepting
from his Right Hon. Friend °dim him (Mr. Wind
ham), he had heard very little that was applicable
to the quellicio. The Committee in which thele•
claims have been confidered, has been treated as in-
decorous, irregular, and even clamorous. ft had the
gruel al defeas of aft open Committees, and this was
ell that could be dated julily againli it. The whole
of the prefent debate wars out of time ; the Gentle-
men who had difcuffed the fuhjed ought to have
attended in the Committee of which they complain,
and to have affigned their maims for the cousin&
they would now purfue. The queflion now before
the Houle was, whether the Report of the Committee
fhould be taken into ci•nlideration ? and it was abford,
on fuck an enquiry, to examine into the general
merits. The whole affair had been charged as a an.
piderial job. He should not eafily be fufpeded of
conducing to any project of this kind, and the doubt
was 110 t what the Duke of Athol ()mold receive in
remuneration, but whether the Houle of Com*tons
ibnuld preferve that dignity and juftiee iu its pro-
ceedings, by which it fhould be ever charaufteriferl

the Attorney-General iu his place, to have denied '
the existence of loch rights, and as he did not appear
in his place to fitpport his former opinion, he might
at lest be permitted to conjeaure, the Right Hon.
and Learned Gentleman had abandoned his former
fentiments. He reluctantly oppored the friends with
whotu he WAS ACCUiIOIIIIO to concur, but he felt it
his duty to vote for receiving the Report.
Mr. GREY Paid a few words in oppofition to the
reception of the Report.

The Mnbcm teoit, of 18 guns, has arrived at Ply-

latter was to remain off Ferrol. The (Zit's*, of 98

BICKEL row then, but haifince gone to Gibraltar.
We do not find, that the brings any atconnt of the com-
bined Toulon and Chliz fleet, but it appears that Lord
