The Sun. — 1804-03-08 (London, England)

ATTORNEY GEN-ER A L spoke against the Motion. Lord DE I 3 L A out ERE, in a very neat and pointed Speateli, supported the Motion. • Mr. kViNDH AM supported the Motion, and manifested his accustomed talent, in a Speech of considerable length. Mr. Ti ERNEy opposed the Motion. Mr. Fox, in a short explanation, alluded to the Paragraph respecting the Business, which appeared in one of the Dublin Prints ; which, he said stamped the charader of the Paymasters of that Paper. Mr. G Rai spoke at some length, and warmly urged the Inquiry. In the course of his Speech, he strongly animadverted upon the consistency of his Right Hon. friend (Mr. TIERNEY), as manifested by his Speech that night, and alluded to his idea of the degree of decorum which Gentlemen should observe in changing their opinions. He was very severe upon his Right Hon. Friend's idea, that the affair of the 23d of July, with the exception of the murder of Lord Kilwarden, was no more than a paltry tumult and riot, and had produced no important consequence. Did he esteem the death of a Field Officer, and the loss of near forty lives, be. sides suspending the Habeas Corpus At, and subjecting Ireland to Martial Law, Nothing ? Mr. Ti ER NEY explained, that his meaning was, that with the exception of Lord Kilwarden's death, the affair did not appear to him to be of sufficient magnitude for an object of Parliamentary Inquiry. Mr. WI 7euftwi.l spoke in explanation. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, Ina Speech of some length, oppesed the Motion. He vindicated the conduit of die Government of Ire;and, civil and military, in the affair in question ; against whom he insisted no imputation whatever of negiett or delinquency could fairly be laid. Adverting to the recent parliamentary conduit of a Right Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. ‘ViNnunia), he said, he appeared to relapse with uncommon rapidity into his former Intuits and mode of aeting, and to lose sight of those principles whicli had governed his conduit for the last ten years. General TnELErroN and the CHANCELLOR of the Exc HEQU ER reciprocally explained, in the courseof which the former insisted that lie had brought forward strong and material facts, to spew the necessity of the Inquiry, and that he could have adduced many more, were he so illaWd • Mr. C ALca we e spoke with considerable ability in support of the Motion.  Colonel Hu rcnlNsoti, after requesting the Motion to be read, said, that as tar as it respeCted the conduct of Lord HA R W e, throughout the whole of his Administration, it should have his decided negative, but if the inquiry were in regard of the insult given to a gallant General, it should have his support; or were the inquiry with respect to the general condutt of Ministers in regard to Ireland, it should have his hearty approation. He took occasion to mention certain Letters written by a person in an important Office in Ireland, which, lie said, were a cruel in,ult upon the People oc Ireland, and upon sortie of His Majesty's loyal Subjects.  Sir 'OUST IVROTTILSLEy spoke at some length in reply, and successfully vindicated his own motives in coining forward on the present occasion. Tire ATTORNIty-OENERAL spoke shortly in explanation. The Question, which was loudly called for. several times in the latter part of the Debate, was then put, when a Division took place : for the Motion • • 8z Against it , - • 178  Majority - 96 At HALF PAST Foug O'CLOCK the House adjourned to the usual Hour this day.
