The Ent .1 T HAN l' presented a Petition from I
I leo; y Hunt, Esq. which was of c insiderable length, I
and bzing read by the Clef k, appeased t 9 corophi'r
f numerous calumnies against his eimaucter and
c9thitict, of a most,injoriuus tendency, and reflecting
upon his characVv 'as a good and loyal subject 01 his
Majesty, when his conduct was, as he could rove, if
alli.r.ed, at toe bar of the House, of a very different
nature and description ; that lie had in the course of
the termer war, furnished fir the service ot the G -1
veinment, at a tune when apprehensions of an inva-
sion were entertained, a supply of several waggons
and a number of horses. 'fire Petition further stated,
that in 1140, when a Voliniteer Force sues eqablisli-
iris for the defe,ice of the cottony, he contributed to
that Establishment to the utmost of his power, by
calling round him a number of n.en for the purpose
of fighting for thtir King and country, and proposing
tliat they should serve in that pat of the country
where it was thonght probable Ail enemy might laud.
That he had communicated the same to his Majes-
ty's Ministers. The Petition then went on to n ler to
the circumstances of certain recent public Meetings,
in which he (the Petitlonir) took a part, particularly
on.' held at the city 4,1 Bristol, for the purpose of pe-
titioning. the' House ot Commons, &c. respecting
Which, olletatihns of a mast false and inj•isions na-
ture e;ere urged against him, and printed bills to that
clittt posted up in vatirMs public places, for taking
down one of which, a boy was recently committed
Bridewell, &c. and iu the usual way praying for
redress.
1 ere Peti;ion to the above eff•ct being read,
The LOW CHANCELLOR observed, that he
Certainly had no objection to the receiving of any
Petition thzt could properly and constitutionally be
received, and to the affording every fair and practi-
table relief ; but to receiving the Petition just rea.!,
there was a serious and weighty objection, namely,
rugst to entittaiiit would be to assume an original
tisJiction, which undoubtedly did not belong to
the 1-louse, and which, according to the principles of
Oa &Isiah Constitutive, did not belong to it. (.Uv.'e,
horj—Vii.ler these circumstances he would humbly
suggest that the Petition could not be received. Tail.
appearing to be die general sense of their Lordships,
use Petition was nor mitered to lie on the table.

D Cu MR VICTORY AT Aromas.
Visconet MELVILLE. in pursuance of the notice
Riven, rose tc mlyz the Thanks of the House to the
gehle and gallaitt Visconrt (rot then in Hs place),
for the gliaions and decisive victory achieved by him
and the varions officers and seemer. (.f the squadrons
under his command, at Algiers, or. the 21'th. Angst
las'. The Noble L'lrd imroduced his motion with a
variety of &tailed i:bservations or the n :..re of th:•
expedition. and of the meritorious and i:valnab!,
service performed. He glanced to the (onset at tht
difficulties, which. under the circumstances in which
the country was placed, prevailed in dilly fitting nisi
the expedition ; bat obslrveil, that such were the
exertions made, that they loll; and completely ar-
swrred the purpose fur which they were designed,
and proved highly satisfactory to the. Noble and gal-
lint Viscount. When arrived at the place of his
destinatirn, 'be British Commander proposed certain
terms of accommodation to the Dry, requiring an
explicit answer within a given time. Upon his re-
ceiving no reply, "he proceeded to prepare. for the
eattallll, and the several ships took those positions pre-
vitrisly assigned so them. With respect to the par-
ticular line of operation, Officers of high autharity,
1);.,r1) in. the Naval and Military services, were con-
40+0 ; and the gallant Admiral himself was well
aware of the strength of the place. But in the result
the varfons objects of the operations mid attack were
completely fulfilled. The attack began about two
o'clock, and continued, without ii..erifis,ion, until
,nine at night. Daring the contest, the skill and
bravery of every Officer and seaman who fought,
were eminently cinispictions; they fought with native
enthusiasm, and the result was such as might be
expected. Our gallant men fought, not merely with
that energy which he might say was peculiar to Bri-
tish seamen, hut they fought with that steady and
immovable courage which no danger could g pod.—
The squadron of the K'ng of the Netherlands amply
contributed its share to the glorious result of the Jay;
and he hailed it as an anspickus omen, that on the
way first occasion upon which the British and Dutch
flags, after so many years, fought in union, and in the
same cause, that a victory so brilliant and decisive
should be achieved. Both squadrons fought with
such a determined and persevering valour. as rendes-
ed it difficult to say which, comparatively, had con-
tributed the more towards the achievement of the
briLtant, decisive, and glorious victory of the day.—
He felt it unnecessary to detain their Lordships
longer, trusting they would unanimously concur in
the Vote of Thanks he should have the honour to
propose.—His Lordship then moved the 'Thanks of
. he House to Admiral Lord ViscOrtnr Exmouth,
G. C. B. for his able, meritorious, and gallant con-
duct on the 27th of August, !SU.% in the destruction
of the batteries mid defences at Algiers, &c.
On the question—
Viscount TORRINGTON rose, for the rurpose
of expressing his most decided and cordial concur-
rence in the ;notion before the House. Never were
their thanks more worthily bestowed, -nor ever did
there exist a more zealous or able Commander. It
was not only on this occasion that he deserved thanks
'and applause ; but his tare and attention, to alive-
' casions, to the important consideration of expense,
was highly commendable :::is provident care of the
stores and other naval necessaries under his controul;
and his exertions to keep his Clips in readiness for
service, was beyond an praise. He never felt more
satisfaction odany occasion, than in giving his most
cordial concurrence to the present vote of thanks.
L Viscount MELVILLE then moved, in the usual
way, the Thanks of the House to the various Officers
under the command of the Noble and gallant Admi-
ral, and also to the Dutch Admiral Capsllan, and
the Officers of his squadron; and further, the appro-
bation of the House of the, toad= and bravery of
'the Seamen and Marines of both Squadrons.
Which several Motions were agreed to, arm sils.—
Adjoutned till to-morrow.

Mr. M. A. TAYLOR gave notice, that on Wednesday fort-
night he should move for tears to bring m a Bill for the better
Paving of thintreits of the Metropolis.
Lord A. HAMILTON Pose to preset a Petition front the
Inlabitauts of girkintllloeb, hi Scotlaad, praying for a Reform
in Piiihaineitt' die ground of the unjust mid unequal repre-
sentation of that part of the comitry. He must do the Peti-
tioners the juitiee to say, that their language was not so strong
as that of Mpity Pethtops which had latelg.mit, before that
Hou,e, anti ikhich contained general arguments against every
'petits of kiftirm. These Petitioners were not desirous either
of 'Universal beuirige, or Annual Parlianwnts. But they cow-
plain Of the exorbitant eapenditufe of the country, which has
involved them in the deepest distress; and they conclude with
Its hug, that they do not press the House to adopt soy partisular
spices or Reform, hut that they do hops and pray that sonic
kind Refonn may pe adopted. He must take this opportunity

THANKS TO LOUD EXMOUTH.
Lord CL.STLERLAGH said be rose in paw.
I am, of the sutler be had given, to call the attention
of the Howse to the subj..ct of the late bsilliot
wry obtained by .his filajesty's arm* at Algiers.. It
Must tett:Only have been the hops and expectation of
the House and the country, as it was of bump,'
when it wai so lately conimuniCated that we hid
closed with unrivalled glory, .a long and arduous
contest, that we might not be again engaged in hos.'
otelities with any rower for a long series 41 yeari..
lint, if tint Mies host in this respect Wen diiaapwated,

Ihe bad the consolation to knoW that the interruption'
bad been but of very short duration, and that it arose
out of circumstances connected not only with hu-
manity, but with the rights of nation:. With respect
to the glorious achievement, he WAS sure that there
coal be but one sentiment about it. Perhaps it
might be thoug,ht by some, thin the enemy Lurd
Exmouth had to contend with might not rank so
high in military discipline, as those Puwei s we had
bun so long accustomed to contend with ; yet he
woul4 gar, that there never was a transaction, in all
its bearings, which required more übility in its con-
d:;ct, or was attended with razo.re brilliant results ;
for althnhgh the Alecrine, might be interior to other
Powers tr. the practical science ot war, they proved
themselves by no means deficieht in bravery. Yt •,
it their character had not been known before for in-
trepid valour, the advantages tinder which they fought. I
and the obstinate resistance they made, rendered our
assault doubly hazardous, and eminently gioriou. of
its termination. We should not find that ally of
those great Laval 'achieve:nem; which had signalized !
iow name and character dung the late contest, had I
coast this country asgreater to ihute of sacrifice, in va-!
luable lives, than the one which had made so emi-
nent an addition to our lame; for it we estimate the
!mintier that, had fallen, !.ie proportion would he
found to execed that of any one oft to great victories
of the last war. it would be waiting the time of
the House to carry their recollection b.ck to the de-
tails of the transaction, which they had read already
in the .. hhir and animated description given by the
illustrious Commander himself ; but he tell that he
should do great injustice to the character of that
distinguished officei ,i 1 he did not offer one observation.
We had heard much in that House before the expe-
dition, of the facility with which the attack might be
made. Persons of scientific information had made
the world believe, that a very small naval force
would be saiiient to accomplish the object ; while
others were of an opinion so very ditftreni, that they
urged it as a matter of prudence to consider well
whether, from the nature of this enyrprio.e, it ought
to be undertaken against such lortraidable batteries.
He had, however, had an opportunity of hearing
this illustrious officer state his (opinion to the head ot
the Aduiiralty on the subject, and it took a middle
cotirae, and the Noble Lora, as the result of his high
professional ability, did most distinctly Ina
OCC +Won, that it was an attempt which souse neces-
*airily be attended with a considerable degree of risk
Awl loss, but be was confident of its success. He
Lawn not only distinctly detailed what would be the
'result of it, but pointed out, without hesitation, Oh:
manner in which he intended to lay the ships, and
precisely how he meant to place his own ship above
all. H.iving now stated every thing that WAS in jus-
tice due to the important subject, lie felt that he
could add nothing more, and should conclude: with
submitting his motion. But he was desirous to ex-
taint it to drat branch of our Allies, the naval ser-
vice oldie King of the Netherlands, which • bravely
*este(' us and partook of the glory. Nothing could
be more congenial to the feelings of this country
than to find their army joined with ours in fighting,
in behalf of the rights arid liberties of mankind. hie
should now conclude with moving, " Th it the
Thbilts of-, thin douse be given to Lord Viscount
Exmouth, Knight of the Grand Cross, &c. &c: -tor
his able and gadaat conduct in the decisive attack dh
the batteries and ports of Algiers, on the 27tH oz
August, 1816." •
Mr. LAW rose to second the motion. He felt
himself at all times incapable of doing justice to such
a subject, for which no eulogies could be too great;
yet lie enjoyed such perfect satisfaction in coetem-
plating the enterprise in question,:avlich, c..aisidered
under all its circumetauces, _reflected so touch glory
on all who were concerned in it, that he could nut
resist expressing what be thought of •it. He had'
alwaye considered Lord Exmouth as possessing pe•
culler good loitune. So great were hoa protesamuali
abilities, that whatever • he underiouk 'he was sure to
succeed in. EVen from the commencement ot that
series of great operations Which rose out of hoe revolu-
tionary war, success had uniformly marked his long
career. With respect to the late brilliant eaterprize,
too much could nut be said of it, and it was grati-
fying to know that the feelings of the House and the
country were the same. It was not, as had been
falsely and seditiously asserted in some of the ;mi.
does thrown on the table of that House, that the
feelings of the people and their Represent:us les,
were at variance. On the contrary, the late expedi-
tion proved, that t'ie feelings of the people went Cully
wite those of the House ot Commons; tor no sooner
Was the expedition resolved on, than the Hat was
manned, not by sailors who had seen long and ar-
duous service, but by persons who eoluutarily offered
themselves fur the noble enterprize, cc:minted of the
justice of the great cause for which they were about
to tight. The. assistance which the King
.ot the
Netherlands bad given on the occasion, could not
be too highly applauded. His Noble Friend had
justly observed, that the people of this country were
out aware of the difficulty of the undertaking, and
ghat many doubts ware entertained of its succeeding.
But he must observe, that public Opitlion was on
such occasions a most severe tribunal; and he must
say in justice to Lord Exmouth, that that matt twist
have a mind framed in the most extraordinary muted
who would venture binned* m a service'so pregnant
with danger, and yet pledge liimaelt fur the success
lot it—tor had he Laded, what.. horrpr must have

tants, who might. have fallen into. the.powcr cat thel
enemy, must haws remained lin life ity•the • mutt irws

gateitig their liberty. Yet Lord Exmouth I • '
istduly
calculated„all the dangers to which be was repueeti,
and knowing tee character of those by utinii he
was stifroueded, he had ma:reckon- a.mode uthit-

Mr. MONEY said, that as a very new Member of

The Thanks proposed were for a v:ctoey, the shoats
