(Hear, beat, bear). it appeared to be admitted on all hands, that
I. Cotirtngten bad performed the 'service on which be has
been engaged, and in whatever circumstances it might have been
imposed, in a way that red led highly to his eharecter—( (lear, '
hear, from Mr. Secretary Peel end the Ministerial lienches)in a
way too, he might add, which was calculated, hi a very eminent
degree-, to ezalt she natal character of the country, and to reflect
honour on himself—(ilear, hear). It was not, however, his inten
don to take up the time of the House, by repeating those pane-
gyrics which had already been bestowed by ao many persons; but
when he considered the difficult situation in which the Gallant
Admiral had been placed—when he considered the heavy respon-
sibility which had been attached to the conduct he should that day
adept—when be considered not only the valour, but the eminent
discretion and prudence which. he bad evinced, he thought it im-
possible for the. House not to agree—as, indeed, he might say, it
bad done—that no Military or Naval Commander had ever exe-
cuted a service under more trying circumstances, or had ever come
out of the difficulties of a situation with more merit and claim to
praise—( I fear, hear). And he (Sir F. Burdett) regarded it as one
of nor the least fortunate circumstances of the affair, that that day
had been the means of placing the names of the greatest States in
Europe side by side in alliance, and had thus made the Gallant
Admiral the means of uniting the Combined Powers in a bond.
founded on reciprocity of interests, existing between Bitola,
France, and Fallantl—(Hear, hear)—and he congratulated him-
self, as an F.nglish Member of rarliament, that it had been an
Admiral of his country who had had the happiness of uniting in
valour the Admirals of the other Allied Powers; that it was
under his guidance they had placed themselves, and united in a
feeling even more splendid than that ui victory : there bad been
between them an emulation, not only of glory, Ira of gent rosity ;
and while each bad striven to:outdo the other iii deeds of bravery
and brilliancy, it appeared as if they had done so less for the sake
of intlivid.ral praise, than for general emulation—not for an emu-
lation which found its birth in envy, and which turned pale at the
voice of approbation—but for an emulation of great deeds. and of
all those generous feelings which, displayed before the world,
proved the union of the men, and that their one grand object was
each other's succ.ll4. Though there were one or two points on
which he (sir F. Burdett) intended to have replied to the Bight
Honourable Gentleman, he would not enter further upon any part
of the subject, as he was content to leave it, as far as restinfone was
concerned, to the candour and fairness with which the Right Hon.
Gentleman had met it—( Heat). He should tin rehire content
himself with merely eeprerslne his satisfaction at the justice which
I had been dune to the Naval ()Ricers who had commanded on that
I occasion ; and though there was nor room for a particular panegyric
on all the persona who had worthily distinguished themselves in
the action, yet, in the one general applause which had fallen from
every sane who bad spoken might be found the true feeling that
was entertained of their conduct—(Hear. bear).
Mr. 110BHOUSE congratulated the House and the
Gallant Admiral on the turn which this discussion had taken. It
was now to be relent 'on. that the sound policy on which %Ir. Can-
ning acted wouklire persevered in, and the a houg h a public Vote
of Thanks waaint given to Admiral Codrington—his skill, and his
discretion were admitted upon all hand:. Under such circum-
stances, he begged leave to withdraw his Motion.
The Motion was then withdrawn. _ _ _
