" On the evening of the 7th, his Imperial High-
ness the General in Chief, ordered that the army
should pass the Piave on. the day following. During
the night every preparation was made for carrying
this bold enterprise into execution. The passage
was effected at three yesterday morning : half the
army swam across, and the other half forded the
river in presence of the enemy; who was encamped
on the other side, and was amused by false attacks on
other points. Hardly was the passage effected than
the French troops threw themselves upon the enemy.
The cavalry, the voltigeurs, and the artillery, per-
formed prodigies of valour. The enemy's ranks
were forced on all sides, and the instant they were
formed again, they were again broken.
" enemy has left a considerable number of
killed and wouncled on the field of battle. Among
the former are several Generals, particularly Lieute-
nant-General Defirnsont. We have taken 16 pieces
of cannon, and a number of chests. The General
commanding the artillery, and the Commander of the
cavalry, have been taken, as well as a number
d' other officers, and an infinity of soldiers. The
enemy's army was in complete rout. To-day, the
Prince-General in Chief pursues his brilliant advan-
rages ; and to-night, or to-morrow, a detailed account
will be given of a victory as brilliant from the bold-
ness of the plan which produced it, as from the ex-
ploits which will for ever reflect lustre on the Army
of Italy.!'--Moniker.

I of its Ministers : and it would be much better such
1 regulations had never been established, than suffered
to delude the officers of the army by a shew of im-
partiality which was not intended to be adhered to
in every instance. He (Colonel Shipley), was one of
those who voted against the Duke of York, but he
would be much more inclined to give his sanction to
one who might be seduced by his regard for a woman
into certain irregularities, but who would inflexibly ad.
here to the regulations of the army, than a Comman-
der in Chief, who, whatever might be his individual
merits as an officer, would 'submit to the regulations
made under his own adviceand sanction, being bro,lcen
through, almost as soon as they had been issued and
promulgated. Under these circumstances, he felt it

of the Duke of York, relative to the time an officer should serve

the date when Gazetted. Sce."
I Lord CASTLEREAGH said he believed the
Hon. Officer, who brought forward this motion,
would not have been induced to call for this informs-'
I tion, if he was acquainted with all the circumstances)
of the case. He believed there was no principle the
House would more readily recognize than that they
should not interfere with the disposal of the improve-
ment of the army. Nothing could be more wrong.
Of all those prorogati.ves which the King possessed,
there were none more. universally allnwed or less
doubted of than his power to confer Commissions in
the army and navy, create Peet ages, make peace
and war, Ike. The King might put himself at the
head of his army, and it would then be in his power
to exercise his discretion in promoting what officers he
pleased, and nothing but some instances of something
extremely corrupt would justity the House of Com-
mons in interfering so as to narrow this branch of the
i prerogative. The Hon. Gentleman had, in the pre-
sent question, taken much too clOse a ground' as to
this part of the prerogative. The Commander in
Chief laid down regulations ; but his Majesty had a,
right to alter them. It never bad been, or could- be
understood that his Majesty had not a right to depart'
from that rule when he thought proper. There had
not long since been an instance 'of it in the case of
General Graham (hear, hear, hear!) There was a
rule that an officer who came into the army on tem-
porary rank, should not be preferred, but according
to a certain rotation ; but his Majesty, in the case
' now alluded to, thought himself authorized and im-
pelled to repeal that regulation, and to place Gene-
ral Graham at the head of all the officers of the same
rank. The King never did, nor ever could mean to
divest himself of that paramount prerogative. He
conceived the appointment was not contrary to the,
regulation which was made 20th March last. Lord
Burghershis commission was dated 25th March 1803,
so that he was entitled to his promotion on the 2.5 th
of that month, a difference of only five days ; and
for so slight a difference as that, he thought the Hon.
Gentleman who made this motion would be sorry to'
stop the promotion of so meritorious an otlicer.--;
Though a very young man, he had sought service in
every quarter of the globe—in the north of Germany,
in Sicily, at the Dardanelles ; was Aide-de-Camp to
General Walker at Rosetta, and to Sir A. Wellesley
both at Rohilla and Vimeira ; and he hoped there-.
fore the Honourable Mover would not think the King
had stretched the Prerogative in appointing an officer
of this merit. Certainly, 'after these acts of heroism,
application had been made to the late Commander in
Chief, and he (Lord Burghersh) obtained a promise
that he should receive promotion as soon as the li-
mited time of his services was expired; and he (Lord
Castlereagh) thought that when his Majesty saw any
young man who possessed high rank and fortune,
laying .tside all the soft and seducing allurements of
pleasure at home, and devoting himself to the ser-
vice of his country abroad, his Majesty would shew
great wisdom in bestowing superior marks of favour
on such extraordinary activity, zeal, and enterprize.
The Right Honourable Mover complained that Lord
Burghersh had not only received a Major's Commis-
sion, but one of Lieutenant Colonel also; but this was
no new case ; for there had been cases without end
in the Guards, where the rank of Lieutenant Colonel
followed that of Major immediately ; and till the late
regulation, no mention was ever made, or notice taken
of it ; and as the new regulation was oniv made on
the 20th• March, and the time of his Lordship's ser-
vice would be expired on the 25th, he put it to the
House whether it would be consistent with the com-
mon principles of equity or justice to withhold that
promotion which had been promised at the end of the
former regulation, when the new regulation had ne-
ver been thought of, and which was only made five
days before Lord Burghersh would otherwise have
been entitled to it. Under these circumstances, he
hoped and trusted the House would not think it ne-
cessary to call for any information on the subject, but
would concur with him, that no case had been made
out. which could justify them to call the prerogative in
question, particularly as to Commissions in the army.
Lord TEMPLE said, that Lord Burghersh still
remaioed a Major in the 11th regiment, to the injury
of a meritorious officer ; that he had received the
brevet rank of Lieutenant-Colonel for the purpose of
sending him into Portugal, where he was to receive
the rank of Brigadier General, which would imme-
diately put him over the head of all the Colonels in
Sir A. Wellesley's army. He was sure the House
would not unnecessarily or lightly interfere with the
prerogative, but when it was exercised unjustly, it
was their duty to look carefully to its operation, es-
pecially where the service of the army is so deeply in-
terested. The Noble Lord opposite said, that Lord
Burghersh had completed his time of service within
a few days. His ensigncy was gazetted on the 24th
of December, 1803 ; so that he cannot complete his
six years service till December 24, 1809. On that
there seems however to be a difference—then let us
have the documents. The Noble Lord had talked
of the merits of Lord Burghersh, and called him a
rising young man. According to the present plan,
he would be a mere rutin; young mail , very day. He
had been informed that in point of fact be was never

oft service with his regiment—he had volunteered I,
the Dardanelles, when his regiment was in Sicily—
and to other places, when that favour had be. r,
fused to many others who wished for it as much as
he did. On December 21, 1803, Lord Burghers!.
was appointed an Ensign in the 11th regiment, wi:h.
out purchase. He had not paid for any of his con,
missions—w: 7 allowed to volunteer without going tc,
his regiment ; but all this did not entitle him to ex-
traordinary promotion, in the face of the express ex,
isting regulations of Ore army.
Lord CASTLEREAGH explained.
Mr. HUTCHINSON spoke shortly in favour of
the motion.

Lord NEWARK said it appeared to him that a
very particular favour had been conferred, iu the w2y
of promotion, on a young Officer without any just
reason for so doing, and as he should that night vote
contrary to those with whom he generally acted, be
thought it necessary to say a few words why he should
support the present motion. _ _

Lord H. PETTY diferedfronl Lord CAsruttemut
on the subject of his MajeitYgivimparticular favou:
and countenance to young men of raft and influence
who entered into the army. He thought such persons
were not those who should receive Commissions with.
out purchase • and if they did so, and were put over
the heads of those who were only fit to fight Our Lat•
ties in the times in which we live, the situation of thc,
army would he dreadful.
Sir C. BURRELL said a few words in favour cf
the motion.

The. CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIEG,urR
spoke very shortly against it.
