' the promptitude and alacrity which they had evinced, the
ties or the undertaking had increased to such a degree by the in-
tervention of winds end weather, and other unforeseen causes,
av'to render the completion of it unfavourable to the projected
operation.
" That thl&liotfte feels with regret and sorrow the lost ofthe
many valtsablelives in the island of Walcheren,whieh ensued in
conirquence of the attempt to retain the island as a Naval
station, but that the state of the negociatious going on between
Austria and France, and the probability of the renewal of hos-
tilities, and the effect which the retention of Walcheren would
have upon those negotiations, induced Ministers to defer the eva-
cuation until the increasing numbers of the sick, and the impOssi-
bility of those hopes being realized, made it necessary to order
the evacuation. The House therefore is of opinion, that no blame
is imputable to Ministers for not evacuating it at an earlier
period."
On the quesion, as amended, being put from the Bar,
Mr. HERBERT rose to express his opinion as an
independent Member. With respect to the force which
was sent to Walcheren, he thought that if it had been
sent to Spain, instead of thanking my Lord Welling-
ton for the services he had performed, the House
would have hat to thank the Noble Lord for having
triumphantly entered Madrid ; but that not being the
case, there was no other object to whip Ministers
could have directed their attention, than the occupa-
tion of- the island of Walcheren. As it appeared,
when there were three objects in view in that occupa-
tion—first, the possession of the island ; secondly, tile
forward reasonable hope of destroying the arsenals and
the navy ; and thirdlf, to make a diversion in favour
of our allies. With fespect to the Resolutions of the
Noble Lord, as Ministers did not deserve censure - he
should not vote for the Resolutions, but would rather
pre.er those of the gallant General.
Mr. MARRYATT, after having attentively beard
and read the evidence, was justified in his own mind
in stating as his opinion, that the policy and conduct
of the Expedition stood upon fair grounds. The Hon.
Gentleman concurred with the last Speaker as to the
most rational hopes of success it the expedition had
been sent to Spain, and also as to the objects which
Ministers hoped to accomplish in sending it to W 4,
cheren.

Sir JAMES HALL made a few observations upon
the necessity of attaching responsibility, in a general
point of view, upon Ministers.—The cry of Adjourn,
adjourn, being raised,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ob-
served, that as it was probable the debate on the Breach
of Privilege to-morrow would not occupy much time,
it would be desirable that the discussion on the Reso-
lutions should proceed to-rnorrovr.—The debate was
accordingly adjourned till to-morrow. The House
then adjourned at Three o'clock thismorning till this
day.
