Upon the Second Resolution being read respecting
the Restriction upon the grant of Peerages, Lord LI-
VERPOOL moved an Amendment previously contended
for by Lord GRENVILLE, to omit the exception in fa-
vour of persons distinguished for military services.
Lord GRENVILLE stated, that being of opinion that
some Restriction of Peerage was necessary, and his
only objection to the Resolution as it now stood
being removed, be should feel himself obliged to vote
for the Resolution.

Lord Lansdowne then stated, that conceiving the
suspension of the power of granting Peerages, a sus-
pension of one of the most essential and constitutional
frtives.of the Crown, and a suspension not called
ilgathisituotaufee. by any just apprehension of dan-
ger from the exercise ; he should for the same reasons
that had induced him to propose the Amendment
which the Committee had adopted, proposed to nega-
tive this-Resolution, and take the sense of the (Com-
mittee. 'The Committee then divided,
• Contents for the Resolution - 106 -

This was composed in the following way :

Upon the Third Resolution tespecting Pensions,
Lord Lansdowne said, that he felt the same objection
to it with the former, but as it rested upon the same
principle with that which the Committee had just
agreed to, he would not give them the trouble of di-
viding again ; and it was agreed to. The Resolu-
tion respecting Personal Property was then agreed to
without a division.

• Upon the Fifth Resolution, Lord Liverpool moved
an Amendment similar to that proposed by Mr. Per-
ceval in the House of Commons, upon which the
Committee divided,

Which taken from the Ministerial 102, left them - 97.

Upon these resolutions being reported to the House,
Lord Liverpool said he should move to restore the'
words which the Committee had agreed to leave .out
in the first Resolution.
. Lord Lansdowne then said, that as it was desirable
to get through the Report that night, he would not
take the sense of the House upon the motion. of the
Noble Earl ; being aware, that since the majority of
the Committee bad agreed with him in the Amend-
ment he had proposed, they bad been induced to agree
to two distinct restrictions and limitations, by which
means the Resolutions might appear inconsistent with
each other ; and several Noble Lords who voted with
him at first, might upon this ground not be disposed
to do so now ; he would therefore, retaining to its full
extent his opinion as to the propriety of omitting the
.words, so far waive any opposition to the Noble Lord's
.proposiiion to restore them, as not to take the sense
of the ilouse upon it.
:Lord Spencer and Lord Moira concurred in the
esped:ency of not taking the sense of the House.
. Lord Live:pool's amendment was then carried
without a division.
Lord Liverpool now stated his intention, sbotild
'there be a difference of opinion upon the furthei ;amend-
ment which he meant again to ,propose to the Fifth
Resolution, to call for Proties.—Lord-Erskine, Lord
Holland, Lord Stanhope, and Lord L-msdowne, ex-
pressed their opinion that Proxies could not be called

The Lord Chancellor maintained the Iropriety of
receiving Proxies.
Lord-Moira then moved, that the tiebsie upon the
subject be adjourned during pleasure, for the purpose
of considering the question of Proxies7-the House di-
' Tided—For the adjourriment 102—Against it 99.
The Earl of Lauderdale and Lord Mulgrave were
appointed TeUers.—The Earl of Lauderdale refused
to take Proxies ; Lord Mulgrave contended for them ;
but the point being stated to the House by the Chan-
cellor, from the Woolsack, and the numbers actually
voting stated, a motion was made, that Proxies be
! now called over by the Clerk, (and the following Re-
pert from the Committee was read), upon which the
House divided :

Ordeted to Report—That the Committee have nut, and in-
spected the 'mythl forms of Proxies, and having examined the
Journals, can find no precedent exactly similar to the present,
excepting that of 1788-9, at which period Proxies appear to have
been entered from the 4th December down to the 34 February.;
on which day a commission was read for holding the Parsta-
ment, purporting to be" By the King himself, with the advice of
the Lords Spiritual and Ten:it/oral, and Commons, assembled ac-
tording to the prorogation aforesaid." From this period to the '
end of the Session, Proxies were continued to be entered; from
the 20th November, on which day the Lords were assembled,
to the 10th March, there dues not appear to have been any divi-
sion in the House; on which 10th March a fresh Conanisbion
was issued, signed by the King himself, for declaring further
causes fur dpening the Parliament. On she loth of July 1789,
upon a question whnthereertain Petitioners should be heard by
their Counsel against the third reading of a Bill, intiruled, " An
Act for making and maintaining a navigable Canal front or from
near t• Cromford Bridge, in the County of Derby, to join and
communicate with the Erewask Canal, at •r near Langley
' Bridge ; and also a collateral Cut front the said intended Canal,
at or near Codnor Park Mill, to or near Pinata) Mill in the
said county," a division took place in the House, by which it ap-
pears the Lords present on that day were 33; the Lords who
voted in the House were 22. Proxies were given. and it appears
that the Earl of Morton and Lord Cathcart, who each Leld a
Proxy, entered on the 29th of December 1788, were present in
the House that day. The number of Proxies held by all the Lords
present were 18, and the number of Lords wko held those Proxies
13. The number of Proxies given were 11. The Committee also
feel it proper to draw the attention of the House to the ease of
1660, at which period there does not appear to be any Proxy Book
or Minute Book existing amongst tie records of your Lordships
House.—For the Motion of calling Proxies !9.—Against it IGe.
The Earl of Moira was then about to propose a
general Resolution respecting proxies ; when the Earl
of Liverpool stated his intention not to call for them
again; upon which the debar, upon the Report was
resumed, and the Eirl of Liverpool's Amendment
negatived without a division.

RETURN to an ORDER of the Honourable HOUSE of COM-
MONS, for Copy of a Letter from the Deputy Clerks of the
Privy Seal. oT the 4th lanuhry, 1811 ; stating their Reasons why
they could not prepare Letters to pats the Privy Seal, for the
Issue of certain Sums of Money for the Service of the Navy
and Army. GEO. HAR R MON,
Whitehall Treasury Chambers, lan. 4, tell.
Sic, Privy Seal Office, 4 h Jan. 1811.

In pursuance of your request, by command of the Lords Com-
missioaers of his Majesty's Treasury, that we should state, in
writing, the reason which induced into acquaint the Lord Keeper
of the Privy Seal, that we could not execute the command to
prepare Letters to pass thl Privy Seal, for the is..ue of certain
Sums of Money for the Navy and Army, we have no difficulty
in complying with your request.
The course of official routine, before we present the Letters of
Privy Seal to the Lord Keeper, is as follows :
A Warrant, signed by the King, and countersigned by three
Lords of the Treasury, is directed to the Clerk of the Signet, or-
dering him to prepare a Bill for tits Royal Signature, to cause
Letters of Privy Seal to pass.. The Clerk of the Signet they pre-
pares a transcript of this Bill, whicS being signed with his name,
as examined, after having his Majesty's Signet affixed to it, is
directed to the Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal. 'Upon receiving
this, the Clerk of the Privy Seal has a transcript of it prepared ;
but previous to examining it, it is customary for him to send a
Docquet, which in point of fact is a Copy of the Docqhet sub-
joined to the Bill, which is prepared by the Cleik of the Signet
for the Royal Signature. This Docquet commences with the
words following :

" His Majesty's Warrant for issuing," &c. ace. and terminates,
" Subscribed for Mr. by Warrant under his Majesty's
Royal Sign Manual ;" countersigned by three Lords of the Trea-
sury. '1 his Docquet is compared with the Doequet to the King's
Bill afotenibntioned; and the Clerk of the Privy Seal in wait*
writes at the end of it " Examined," signing his name. Upon
this being returned, signed by three Lords of the Treasury, list
Letters of Privy Seal are compared with the Sweet Transcript,
and being likewise signed by the said Clerk, are laid before the
Lord Keeper, in order that the Privy Seal may be affixed thereto.
—Our objection to signing the Letters of Privy Seal, therefore,
was, that we conceived it would be departing front the official
line of our duty, and acting contrary to the express letter and spi-
rit of our oath, if we signed these Letters of Privy Seal prior to
the usual Docquet being returned to the Office, countersigned by
three Loris of the Treasury. We considered this of the greatest
importance, as we have always conceived the Docquet to be a
Certificate under the hands of their Lerd.shipa, that the Royal
Signature bad actually been affixed.

Moreover, as the Lord Keeper always retain* the Signet, and'
Docquet, as his vouchers for affixing the Seal ; and the entry of
the Docquet is the only record remaining in the Office.
The tenor of the oath 'sus follows:
You shall be trite tp our Sovereign Lord the King, his heirs
and successors, Kings and Queens of the united kingdoms of
Great Britain and Ireland, and them faithfully serve to the best
of your power, as one of their Clerks in the Office of Privy Seal ;
antbduring rive time you shall continue in the same, you shell nut
prefer nor colourably present to the, Keeper of the Privy Seak or
Commissioners for t ite execution of the office of Keeper of the Privy
Seal for the time being, any manner of thing to pass the Seal, but
such only as you shall babe sufficiynt Warrant for, by Writing or by
mouth granted or given by the Xing 's Majesty, or some of hi.
Highness's Council in the Court of Requests.—You Shall not di*.
close any of his Majesty's causes to you commanded to be kept
secret, until such time as publication be thereof made.—And you
shall not seek to break any order used for the attendance of the
Clerks of the said office, or by colour thereof take any p
growing by the Seal of the said Office, and thereby defraud awn
of the whele due or any parcel thereof.
" So help you GOD, and by the Holy Evangelists."
(Signed) By the Clerk.
This -- day of in the -- year of the reign of King
George --, the said f bath taken the oath .
above expressed, and subscribed hi. name before me t
Keeper of the Privy Seal; and bath also taken the oaths ap.
pointed by so Act of Parliament, intituled, " An Act fur Attu-
satire the Oaths of Supremacy Ad Allegiance, and appointing

nary, had never bean chased during that time by 4I) i
of our ships. On her making the land near Chasse.
roll', she ran into Basque Roads, and made the signal
for a pilot to take her into . Bout-area ; whereupon
-the VALIANT hoisted French colours to entice Oaer
nearer, which had the effect intended, as she went
close alongside that ship ; and, upon a gnn heiox
fired over her, .she struck her colours, and dropped
Anchor. Her cargo, so far its it has yet been asccr.
tained, is valued at 426,500, and consists of :336 730
lbs. Dutch cloves-911,423ab5. sugar-153,21614X5.'
