The ArtORINIIY-GINER,I F. 'said, that Ibis' Will

Plaintiff had received 801. in lieu of the whole de.
mand ; 801. he had received, hot not is lien of his

of his demand.

DIr.GARRow, on looking at the Bill, discovered
that it was on a SLAIN) or two shillings, which
trhonitl have been four, as required by the late
Stamp Act, being above one hundred pound'.
He therefore.objected to its bring read in evidence,
observing, that the circumstances of the cue jus-
tified lam. in taking this objection. The objection
was fatal to the Bill ; bolt the Attorney-General
said he could prove the Plaintiff's case, upon the
account of goods, sold and delivered, and for
which the Bill was given, for which purpose he
called Mr. William Peet Heyward, the P161'161'5

went:

With respect to this communication, not only
was the restriction upon your Lordship nut inde-
finitely continued ; but your Lordship actually
received, on the 28th of June, an injunction to
ovuke this communication to Lord Castlereagh at
a period distinctly specified, viz. the sailing of the
Ezpedition. And this injunction wis only an.
perseded by a voluntary act of yqur Lordship's,
your tender of your own resignation on the 12th
of July, as the basis of another arrangement.
During the whole of the period, from the ‘2Bth
of April to the 12th of July, the concealment
practised towards horst Castlereagh was either
without my knowledge and contraiy to my bile,
or it was against my earnest remonstrances.
It was without my knowledge and eosiirar; to
my belief, up to the week in which Pa Lament
rose ; and from that time forth it was aksuist my
earnest remonstrances.
Even when I I •arnt, in June, that the cornmii-
iiiraUon ha I not been nick by your Lordship in
Lord Casticrea4h, I did not learn that you had
been prevented tram making it by any absolute
r.strirtiun.

to your Lordship's discretion the time of disclo.
sure to Lord Castlereagh, that I learnt that the
silence which you had hitherto observed towards
him, had been imposed upon roar Lordship by the
injunction of the Duke of Portland. I did nut
till then know with whom the concealment hither-
to practised had originated; I frankly own that I
thought it had originated with your Lordship ; I
was anxious, above all things, that it should not
be ever suspected that it had originated with we;
or that I had been a consenting party to it, or
even (till a late period) conscious of its existence.
• In my correspoudenee with-the Duke of Port-
land at this period, therefore, at the seine time
that I resisted the new delay then proposed, I dis-
claimed any concurrence in the concealment which
had been hitherto practised)—and requested ". that
it might be remembered hereafter, ellenever that
concealment should be alleged against mei as an
act of injustice to Lord Castlereagh, that it did
sot originate in my suggestion, that so far fro:n
desiring it, I hail conceived (however erroneously)
par Lordship to be the sere channel of commu-
nication- to Lord Castlereagh and that up to a
very late period I had believed such communi-
cation to have been actually made."
The-Duke of Portland in answer acknowledged
my repeated remonstrances against pm conceal.
went; stating himself at the same time not to hate
been aware that I had at any •time believed the
communication to have 'been actuL'lly made ; but
assuring me " that he should be at all times
ready to avow that the concealment had originated
with himself (the Duke of Portland); that .he hied
isijoined it to all those with whom fie had commu-
nicated, from motives which he was at all times
ready to justify ; and that he was desirugs of [ak-
in whatever blame might have been, or might at
an time b., incurred by it, upon himself."
This, as I have said, was my first knowledge of
any restriction whatever upon your Lordship's
eimentiiiication to 164 rd Castlereagh.
If I a::i asked take 1 believed your Lordship to
have actually ma le toe communicetion, I answer,
because it was natural that yeti should make it ;
because the especiation 01 .your making it was
the motive allied induced me to desire, (and I did
desire) teat tae communication teiciiild he nrade•to
your trued hip;—because tee manner in which
you first received th.ilcoemiteneation (as reported
to me by the Uuke of Port in 1) tendial to contact,
the belief that your L trashy was the fit chaeuel
of cointutioication to Lor•I Castlereap ;--41.1 be.
cause I &new not of 'the existesicti of any impedi.
=eat to your pursuing what appeared to we (mid
does still appear to tor) the natural and obvious
course to be parsuetrupoii such an occasion.
If it be objected, that I ought not to have been
contented with prissuesiag the disclosure to -have
been made, but . °ugh,. to have diligently aster.
taiued that it wai su ;—first, I answer—that no
person naturally sets about 'ascertaining. that of
which he entertains no doubt secondly,
answer, that the snoment that my suspicion of the
fact was excited, I did set About ascertaining the
truth ; and that.upon ascertaining it, I did re-
monstrate iu the strongest manner against the con-
cealment ; and enforced that remonstrance by the
tender of my own resignation.
It was on the 2fitti or '27th of .June (five. or tie
dip after Parlialiteut rose) that I discovered my
suspicion to be founded.—On the 27th 1 fall4lll,
strated.—On the 28th I tendered my resignation.
--And in the course of the same day, your Lord-
ship (as I have already stated) received an injutit!.
lion to make•the coinniunicatiun as souu as ihe'
Expedition should have sailed.
The second of the two periods to which your•
Lordehip's statement refers, begins front tile filth'
of July, the day of the tender of your Lordship's,
resignation.
It does not appear, nor does your Lordship's
statement aver, that at any time deriag this se.
coud period the restriction which had uriginaliy
been imposed open your Lordship was ;
or that any other existed, except that whicloyour
Lordship had imposed upon yourself, mid which
was therefore no longer binding upon your Lord-
ship, than while• you might yourself be willing.
that it should bind you. •
:Of the mama to which this self-imposed restr/r-
-tion appears to have guise, I had nut an) suspi-
cion. I knew, indeed, theft your Lordship had
stipulated to keep the time of • the distlosere, to
Lord Castlereagh, in yoisr own hands; but, sub-
sequently to my being made acqUainted with that
scipulation, I had received the assurances, which.
