P IMENTrIRr PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, APRIL 22.
Lord AYLFSFORD reported his Majrfty's gracious anfwer to
the Addrefs of the Houfe, praying for the produetion of certain
official document; conneded with the Ordnance Department. It
exprelied ,racious compliance to acqoiefce with the fame.
The Innkeepers' Soblittence Bill, and the Oak Ba►k Itegratiug
Bill, Were kverally read a fecund time, and ordered to be c
tea to-morrow.
Lord REL)ESDALE brought in a Bill for the relief of Copy'
holders in certain cares. It was read afn ft time.
SCnTS JUDiCATURF.
Lord ERSKINE role to call the attention of their
Lordihips to the circumtlances which lead led to the
predicament in which the Houfe was placed with
Tell:reel to 11 t: hill brought in by his Noble Friend'
(Lord Grenville) for the better regulation of the!
Courts of Civil Jittlice in Scotland. He thought it
recelTary to imprefs upon the anent •n of the Houfe
the caufes which had operated to produce the prefent
efFeelc, as fuch a retrofrelive view would tend to
explain the nature and objelt of the motion, of which
it was then his intention to give notice. He would
not then atgue whether the divificn of the Court of
Sayan into three or two Chambers would, in its cnn-
fequences, prove the mot: beneficial meafure ;—but
he was perfeelly confident that the furrcnder of the
fecood bill, which refe►red to the int rodue.lion of the
Trial by Jury, in certain cafes, would totally vitiate
the whole meafore of improvement, -s intended by
the bill propnfed by his Noble Friend (Lord Gren-
ville). It was his with to afcertain the 'opinion of
the Learned Jtidgec, whom it was thought nee( fray
to have in attendance. In receiving that opinion, he
was induced, by every feeling and duty, In treat
thofe refpelable charallers in the moll c:ignified and
honourable manner. He would, therefore, incl. fe to
the Noble and Learned Lord on the NVoolfircic, a
copy of the c,uellions which he deemed it advanta-
geous to put to the Judges ; and the anfwer to which,
Le was led t anticipate, would materially change
the decifion which the li..ufe was at p. trent inclined
to adopt. He alto wiflied, that tire Scots Judges
fhould have the opp-rtunity of deliberating on the
cioeflions propc.fed, and then of giving the colleaire
vpinion of fuch as were in attendance. The Noble
Lord concluded by giving notice of his intention to
put certain o.rettions to thofe Judges of the Court of
Stflion, who were in attendance ; and that they be
summoned for to-morrow.---Orklered accordingly.

WE•TMINST Eft PETITI^S.

Lnrd GRENVILLE obi-dyed, that it was a Ilan.
ding order of the Hcufe, that no Peer fbnuld attend
any Committee or order of the other Houle, witht.ut
the content of their I..,trdHaps. He was fommor.ed
to attend fuck a Committee, and, if permitted by
their Lordfh;ps, was poi-ally wiilii;g to obey the or.
,der he had received.
The LORD CHANCELLOR Olen moved,—
" That Baron Grenville have re; no!if,rl to attend a
Committee of the Houle of Commons."—Ozdcted.

HOUSE OF CON,I,!ONS.
covERNmENr J 7 CL'N.^.COA.

Colonel WOOD rose to t:ive v.:nice of a moti
to-Morrow for the prodt..:":ion of lean' front Ad-
miral I)acre, dated the it th of janua• y latl,
iing another letter from Cap-ain Brifoane, g vin'
ail account of the capture of the Nand of Curies.
The SPEAKER tantight it neceflitry to Ultra m
the. Honourable Gentlern.,n, that tree ul4ge •.1 the
Honfe required, that any Honourable ',".l‘tieber,
in moving for ollica d!iettments, the old explain to
the Houfe fuch motives a, thottl,t, aT leaf in his (1,,,-n
mind, be a fati,faet..t y grouted fut. tc.ota.n.
Colonel WOOD explained, that he move.l for
thole papers, in order to lay the grrtricl rf a motion
r a Committee to eaqiii.e into the carafes of re-
rr.oving Captain Brifb..ne ft, m the Government of
Curacoa, which he had enietterc.l, and for appointing
the relation ('f a Right Hon. G,ntlemein tippcfite
( Mr. Witten. am) to that i
Mr. WINDHAM had :n very part:coilr with
to opp.,fe the rranicn annul:lived by the Harnmr-
able Gentleman, for the letters mentioned 7 but it
judge whether he had
woulii be for the Honfe
made out Inflicient groottdx to induce a compliance
:v•tie hi, ohjal,confitttirly with the la inciples t•I Par-
.ruentat y praftice. With relpeet to the Govern-
ment Curacoa, immediately tubfequent to its cap
,„„., tt was no more than rate of thole temporary
app, itaments which ;dually took place upon Inch
orca fi on the mere authority of the captor, and
c,anerally devolved upon a y Commander, until
the pleafine of his Majetly thould be known. Tile
4‘. ruination of Captain Brifbane, at CIIraCOA, was of
t-eis rat ure. and precifely ti that of Sir David
I;,ittl, at the Cape ef Good Hope, in the prefent
~ear, and of Land Macartney, at the fame place,
dieting the Lift war.- But there appointments were
~_vet made in the regular way, under his Maicay,s
iignature ; and therefore, could nut be conuldered
as
r::ettlatly fettled. Having fo far explained the nature
of the fubjca, upon which the H. nourahle Gentle•
ioan propofed an enquiry, he begged to 311 c, whether
the Houfe, after all that had been laid of late about
the Royal Prerogative, would entertain loch a pro-
ooiition as that of a quellion,—not why the King had
a,.vinted the prefent Governor, as was his Majefiy's
iiiktoultted right fn to do—but why Itehad not appoint.
.1 eomebody elfe ? The 'Honourable Gentleman did
.t pretend to alledge,any grnupdi ofdif.cinaliqcation

againft the perfon whir nowt filled that Ration, nor
did thole who recommendred him to his Majelly's
choice, fee any circumftances in his cafe or charac-
ter, which could, in the fmalleft degree, depreciate
his eligibility to the fituistion. His fervices in a mi-
litary line fur fifteen years, his education, his man-
ners, his experience, his time of life, his reputation,
were all points upon which the Hon. Gentleman had
offered no objeCtion ; and they were certainly sir.
cumftances which, when his Majelty condefcended
to afk the advice of his Miniflers as to the appoint-
-1 ment in quellion, induced them to recommend that
Gentleman. The Honourable Member feemed to
I alrume that as a principle which he could never admit
namely, that inall cafes, the Officer who takes an
1 nand ought of cootie to be appointed the Governor.
It might happen, in many cafes, that the perfon
i.under whole command the capture is made, would
be the moll improper perfon in the world for adari-
' 1 Mitering its government—as the two duties of Con-
querur and Governor required qualities totally dif-
ferent, although they might fornetimes be found
r I united in the fame man. But it by no means 1.-.1-
1 lowed, that the atchievernent of a conqnefl qualified
1 a Commander for the office of a Governor, any more
than that the maker of a nautical initrument mull of
necetliry be an able performer thereon. • As to the gal-
lantry difplaytd by Captain Brithane, in the capture
of the place, no man more highly admired the at-
chievement than he *did :—but it remained to be
alked, diti Captain Br itbane himfell with to be can-
tinned as the Governer ? 1-le did not know that the
gallant (Hiker ever expreffed, or entertained filch a
with. And he himfell happened to know an initance
of an itland, of much greater extent and importance,
having been captured by a Britifh fquadron nder the
command of the Captain of a frigate, whou declined
the appointment of Governor, and preferred the
command of his own veffel. If the Honourable
Gentleman had real-on to believe that there was may
thing in the conlftia or charafler of the prefent Go-
vernor of Cotracoa, which rendeted his appointment
improper, and liiintelt unfit lot the fituation, he would
do well to Rate it in the pryer cparter—but under
the precept cii comfiances, he believed the Houle
woula not be difpofed to entertain a que:lion for
calling his Majelty to an account for appointing a
Governor to a captured Settlement, againit whom
no fault or dilqualificat ion whatever was alledged.
L'rd CASTLEI(EAGH felt confiderable diffi-
culty in the motion introduced by his Hon.
and was perfuaded that his 1-lon. Friend would fed
there was no kind of rptellion lefs within the province
of that Hunk tndifctica. All that at prefent appear.
ed was, that Captain BriCoane had affirmed the go-
vernment immediately after the capture. until his
Majolty's pi:aline 'honk! he known—and that his
Majetty had•tince thought fit to exercife his dircretion
in appointing another peribn. The Hon. Gentleman
urged no complaint whatever of incompetence, in any
reipesl, againg the perfon appointed—and therefore,
it was hardly to be expeeled that Parliament would
travel out of its province to interfere with the exer-
cure of the Royal difetetion on this occafion. The
conduit of Captain Brifbane flood 10 high with the
Parliament and the Country, that it would be a de-
traction from his merit to hippie that he felt any
dircontesit at the difpcfition made by his S..veteign
in this cafe—and he did not conceive, that the delicacy
f Captain I.l:ilbane's feelings Of reputation were
confulted by agitating loch a cptellion. Unlels there
tore, the Honoorable Gentleman had 'erne com-
plaint to offer againfl the character or contlita of the
Gentleman appointed to the Government in queflion,
he would early:111-
r teLonsinend to him to withdraw
his !notion.
Coliatel WOOD decl tied, that his tole inJuJe.
ment to the HT he had taken was his riche to ftrp-
port the tights of an individual met hot ieus Officer,
whole defer ts he did not tl,ink wr-re fairly or liberally
arnli-teiedby his Majelly's late Minillerf, in this affair.
fie thought the yt f thole iNlini:lers who held the
ra,ronage of the et.utor y, would he elerti‘ed with
mach mote Hike, as weil as more advantare to the
rublio weal, if that patronage was applied to the
ercouragetmnt of merit n.l t 11:: reward of brilliant
f.rviccs, rather than in providing ins their (...,11 im•
mediate frienel•. 11;:,1rowever, contented to w ithdraw
hi, notice, with tit:: leave of the 11,:ute, which was
granted.
