His Lordship said he felt that he was irregular in making t.us statement, unconnected with any busi • ness before the. House, but he also felt it to be his duty to noakethis declaration for the purpose of correcting an erroneous state-ment, which he conceived to be of import-ance.

Mr. WHITBRJJAD, attended by a large body of the Commons, presented the A u i -clesof Impeachment, in maintenance of the Impeachment made by the Commons, at their Lordship's bar.

After the Articles were read by the C lerk , Lord HAWKESBURY moved, that a Com-

mittee be appointed to, search the jou rnals for ( precedents for their Lordships' guidance in' the proceedings on the Impeachment: And also, that a Copy of the Articles of Im -peachment be sent to Lord Melville within one month from that time, and that he be allowed to.the 2d day of next Session to put m his answer.—-Ordered.

On the Motion, that M r . Trotter's In-dpmnity Bill be committed, -

T h e L O R D C H A N , said, that no Bill of greater importance ever came before 'the

-House, and yet no grounds had been made out to justify it. Much of the objection he hadto th* Bill had been done aw4y by the At tides of Impeachment being actually laid on.the table this day, because these con-tained some evidence, some- reasons - not before m the possession of the Hou«e.

• ^ m a n y objections pressed on his mind H e believed there-was no instance ^ the House being called upon for in-demnity for transactions not known ip the House. T h e checks the common law had put.upon indemnity given to Approvers were very severe, and most jealously watched in the administration of just ice .—They could not be admitted as evidence till themselves were charged by indictment; they must pre-viously confess. themselves guilty of the crime; they cannot be compelled to gtv« evidence,, but must do it voluntarily • if they vaiy in their evidence in the respective proceedings, they are liable to be executed themselves ; and the same peril hangs over

. ihem if the Jury is not convinced,, and the person against w h o m t h e y are evidence is not convicted. In the indemnity asked by

1£ does not appear that Trotter and the others alluded to in it are accomplices.-it departs from the principle on which in-

, demh.ty is granted by the common law, that the witness confesses himself guilty, but takes indemnity for-the purpose of enabling him to convict another. A material ebiec tion he had to the Bill was, that it called on the House to admit, that money had been applied by the parties implicated contrary to iaw : and thus might prejudice the icause their .Lordships had to try. A word also of" most extraordinary extent and operation

..was used in the Bill . T h e witnesses were: to gi ve evidence as to their belief, « well as knowledge and remembrance. T h i s was

,. hoped the House would go into a Committee where the objections to the BiU would be easily removetl.

civil proceedings as well as criminal; and from all civil suits of private persons that may have a legal remedy against them.

his was an extent of indemnity not war-.ranted by the motives.and reasons of eivihp indemnity.

Jones was such as justified the strongest sus-picion, and w o u l d have warranted G o v e r n -

, rhent in arresting any man.-; still he being .a. xnan of warm.temper.;, and l ikely to use e x -pressions, and indicate designs which he did j interfere with the exercise of Tiis " ^ a j e s t 7 ' s not deliberately mean, it was the opinion of | p r e r o g a t i v e , yet he hoped the House w o u l d Government that indulgence might, be safely i feel , from the peculiar circumstances of the extended to liini. In". consequence of. this j case, that its adoption was essentially ncccs opinion it was intimated to a gentleman -of ' the highest respectability at the Irish bar ( M r . Saurin) , w h o interested himself for the petitioner, • that Government was dispos-ed'to liberate h im, provided, he won id quit Ire land, and. retire to his residence in this country, wher.ehe had been for many years previous to his return to Ireland. T h i s in-timation Was communicated to the peti t ioner; and instead of replying directly to it, he im-mediately applied to the Ir ish G o v e r n m e n t , ' asserting, that what proceeded from their disposition to leniency ivas a direct a c k n o w -ledge merit of : his total innocence, and de., niatiding instanteous and unconditional libe-ration, with an indemnity for his imprison-ment. W i t h that demand ihe Irish Guveiiu-ment ,would not feel themsel ves'- warranted' in comply ing . ; particularly because, after thie trial o f the rebels, and the fullest in ves-, ligation of t h e charges against M r . Jones, b i i case.became much.mpr.e ..serious .than' it appeared, to .be o n the outset. Willing,-h o w e v e r , to act w i t h every possible con-sistent mildness, his case, was submitted- to the" crown l a w y e r s , , accompanied by this q u e s t i o n , W h e t h e r it would.be proper to liberate M r . Jones,?" and their unanimons opinion was decidedly in the negative. S t i l l more to ascertain the rectitude of their con-duct, the Irish Government transmitted the case of M r . Jones to his .Majesty's Ministers

In this C o u n t r y , requiring their advice ; and their answer w a s , that under all the ciictun;-stances it w o u l d be extremely ••inadvisable to a l low such a person to. be at large in Ireland :

jwitb this opinion from the L a w Officers in' Ireland and the Ministers heie, the Irish Government felt that they would have incur-red a deep responsibility had they complied v ith the.demand of the . Petitioner for un-conditional freedom. But as to-the charge'of severity in prison, he could assure the House

that nothing could be farther from the d is - V position 'and the desire of the Irish G o -vernment than the wanton oppression of any prisoner. On the contrary, imme-diately on ' the arrest of the Petitioner, spe-cial directions Were sent to. the General commanding the district . in w h i c h he w a s imprisoned that the unfortunate man should be treated with every indulgence that was consistent .with the safe custody of his' person. Indeed it was remarkable , that- so none of the Generals commanding at C o r k , , w h o were directed to inquire into the situa-tion of the prisoner,, did the Petitioner ever ma,ke any complaint of harsh treatment; and he.was.surprised to see such a complaint in the petition on, the table. T h e Right-H a n ^ Gentleman stated rha: he should have submitted those .observations: to the H o u s e immediately after, he; had; seen the petition, had he.not been prevented by ill health, arid he was sorry to-observe, that an H o n .

tinue the proceedings in the H o u s e o f Com'-mons, against L o r d , V i s c o u n t M e l v i l l e , and to empower the Committee to continne their sittings', notwithstanding any prorogation of 1 arhament.

T o o b . v i a t e i b i s difficulty,. .he*,thought they" might , occupy a certain number, ot days at the comrneccement of next Session of P a r -liament./ for the purpose of forwarding the necessary arrangements. T h e question he. conceived to be, whether they should de lay ' those proceedings for a. very f e w months, or b r e a k t h r o u g h one of the most important, principles of the Constitution.

L p r d T E M P L E pointed out, in v e r y a p -propriatc.terms, the advantage of getting the-liecessary evidence as early as possible.

M r . W I L L I A M S W Y N N E . expressed the same o p i n i o n — l o o k e d f o r w a r d to the i n -con veniency they would be exposed to in the event of.the,death of M r . 1 rotter, and was o. opinion, that from his e ^ n i n a t i o n sou rces o f . evidence might be disco vered that might p r o v e of the, h ighest importance, and of w h i c h , by any delay, they inight be w h o l l y deprived. H e insisted therefore on the propriety o f a Parl iamentary Commis-sion to-examine evidence. T h i s was n,o new proposition ; there were, many instances on their Journals of such a proceeding.

A f t e r some fartticr observations from M r . W H I T B R E A D a n d L o r d H E N R Y P E T T Y

T h e C H A N , of the E X . .alluding to the case of M r . Hastings, and producing it as a precedent, proposed in lieu of the Mot ion of the H o n . Gentleman, " T h a t the proceed-lngs against L o r d Meiyi l le .shal l not be di's-continued by any prorogation or dissolution of P a r l i a m e n t . " T h i s Resolution would -equally serve the - purpose proposed by the H o n . Gent leman, and-not being in .positive terms did not w e a r that face of hostility to the constitutional principle he had already al lud-ed to, and which he was anxious to preserve inviolate.

M r . W i i f r B R E A D ' h a v i n g ' w i t h d r a w n his

motion, the' proposition of t h e . C H A N , of E x . was accordingly agreed to, and permis-sion g ian.ed to 'br ing in a Bi l l confo imably to the same.-

C A P T A IN,-. W R I G-H'TV M r . W I N D H A M then rose"," and observ-

ed, that he had.al ready b a d occasion to state to the House the case of Captain W r i g h t , w h o had been confined in a dungeon of the T e m p l e , and had been treated with unex am pled severity by tlie F i e n c h Government . H e should not n o w enlarge on the c i i cum-Stances of his detention; but it w o u l d seem, that the only circumstance which had made him the subject of such an un-paralleled breach of the law of nations, had been his meritorious conduct in the Bri-tish service. T h i s , of itself, formed a strong reason for taking his case into consi-deration,. and for attempting to extricate him from the peculiar hardships of.his situa-tion. T h e ' question then came to be, in w h a t manner could we afford him relief ? N o w oh'e of the most effectual mc-thods of preuenung crimes, was letaliation on the offender. W h e n murder has been commit-ted, w.e cannot remedy the evi l , but w e can do.something to prevent its repetition. In this case also retaliation seemed the only method that could best ava i l : ' If this couise had been fol lowed at first, it would perhaps, have'been attended with the best conscqucn' ces : but, by our o w n supineness, we gave to-the P'rench the privilege of committing any violence without fear of retaliation. Such conduct must-have a pernicious influ-ence on the minds of a l l w h o are engaged in the naval and military service of their coun-try. T h e y m i g h f j u s t l y complain o f being., in somedegr.ee;. unprotected ; w h i l e it Was evident that service and protection should, in every instance, - be reciprocal.

' In 'either, case, we thought 011.1 selves warranted in publishing it, not because we supposed.jt absolute}]' true, but because we conceivcd it ext iemcly piobabie .

T h e report of an ehgdgement between the; Combined . Fleets and L01 d Nelson's squadron, originated in a D u t c h - p a p e r of the'2din«t. which stated-, " that.Ld. N e l -son had brought;the enemy's fleet to action, and had captured eight. 01 nind sail o f the line ; that ihe vessel which had Admira l G ravin a on board b l c w . u p ; and that L o r d Nelson was; killed by a chance.,shot at the conclusion of tlie engagement !" • -

N o r was this a l l . - T h e report way r e -vived in L o n d o n on T h u r s d a y last. A t Lloyd's,- it was said a West Indiaman had ar-rived,. the Captain of which stated" that L o r d Nelson had; taken i t .sail of the litfe, had sunk 2, and had taken 4 frigates'. • T h e Captain added, that he had-received the news from the Captain o f the A u r o r a (f,ii-gate, o n e o f L o r d Nelson's fleet. T h e re-port j h o w e v e r , -should not be implicitly relied on. •- •: .

It was stated on -Saturday or Sunday that our ships o f f Cadiz captured a Spanish line of battle-ship. Yesterday the statement was contradicted. . .

The Pacl;:;s of the 11th arid i st'r. iRitant, .which' arrived at our Office yesterday, liave trought us'BO' intelligence of muL.h interest. We have, however^ copied from them a number of articles which they extracted 1'rorn foreign Journals ; irony these, and the other extracts that have lately been laid -before' our readers, will. be. perceived, n-.ore than ever, ' the great importance attached on • the Continent to the mission of the Russian Minister N o v o s i J . z o r f . — The 'question of a Continental war is expected to be decided by it ' .—There cannot be a doubt that thefts^.. . . . object ot NOVOSILZOJI is to make ccrtain proposi-tion!) which may lead to a negociation tor a general peace, and establish the tTapquiUily of Europe on ' something like a solid basis. In the event o f failure, and fail hf certainly will , we think, when we consi-der the insatiable ambition, the' increasing arrogance, arid the new aggression! of . B O K A P A K T I ; in the J event of failure, the exertions of [Me Court of R us- :

tia w i l l , no doubt, be,turned, to a Continental] Warj-by which to extort from. the prudence w i a t cannot be obtained from the justice ot the "Usurper... The remains of the present year must be passed in nego- , ciation ; there is no chance'of a war on the Conti-nent before'.next spring, and: even then there w i l l probably, be.a lamentable difficulty in the way of it. VViiliout Austria a war on. the Continent wbu'ld be . vain ; -and the severe scarcity of, grain which-appears-J to prevail ir, Bohemia, as Well as in the neighbour* • ing: countries, totally incapacitate het from any spi-Tired operations. T h e eniuing autumn will-'there-fore be pregnant with negotiations-or. the Continent. By the Foreign Journals it will bt seen, that all is • bustle and expectation at the gr.e^t Courts ; at Berlin, Vienna, St. Petersburgh, and Paris.- TheTast ac-; ' ; counts received in London frOtri Berhn say that N o . v o s i t z o w was in :hourlyexpectation of an inter-view with his-Prussian-Majesty-, snd that great'hopes ' were formed-of his mission bringing, about a general peace. I f . Corsican pride, malice,, and obstinacy, could be for a time subdued, there ii no doubt that Peace might be obtained.

Our readers will also perceive that the menaces o£ invasion are still kept up in the foreign Journals under the influence of " B o s i P A M i ; and ho doubt they w i l l be redoubled, noiy, in- hopes, of veiling the ..shame b f the combined fleet f lying . from a force only half So strong in point of num-bers. It was mentioned ; in our paper of Thurs«_,. day last, that the Dutch fleet had made advances in t i e Texel preparatory to putting to sea. It is now said, that the command is given to A d m . WI-NTF*, with great Powers.; and that General DtiMOiiCEAU commands the land forces ; that new ships of the, line »re. put into commission; that the French Gen, MAFC-HONT, and the Dutch Minister, of War, PY- ." . MAN,, have been to .tlie Helder' to superintend tiie operations ; that great bodies o f French troops are, leaving Hanover for Holland, where vast prepara-tions are making. T o what point this expedition may be directed., is. not conjectured ; but ..we f p l confident that it 'will meet With lid rnore succesi tliaa therCombined fleets of Toulon and Cadiz, ' ' "'''•

• Hardly any thitrg'is talked of in London but Lord NSXSOM'Spursuit of the Combined Fleet ; arid, as • is.generally the-case, "when' intelligence; iioes rTot keep pace with the urlreasonable impatience o£ the j public, numbers oi-su:nfounded reports are ijroos.t hourly in circulation.—On Thursday last it. was pre-tended that letters werereceji'ed Itom Holland, slat-ing th'af an action took place between Ldrti N E I -soh a,nd the Combined Squadrons, in wBich' both-,' Commanders fell, and the Engl,sh captured nine sail of ' lhe line and 1'our'ffigales..

i t will be seen by the extracts. wliich .we. })?.ve made from' the Domestic Publications received at "ocr Offiee this morning, th'at*5:imilar rumours prevailed in Dublin, Limerickj &c. ftjunded on letters from

.London. Although these accou nts of the'defeat of, tSe.ene-

my's fleet appear to be prenqatnte, yet the most san-' guine'hopes may>e entertained, that a verv few daj s will bring us certain intelligence of the event.
