The Houfe ballotted for a Committee, for the purpose of inveftigating certain papers and documents, refpecting the proceedings of certain Seditious Perfons, &c. in Great Britain and Ireland.

[blocks in formation]

The Earl of St Vincent moved the Thanks of the House to the above mentioned gallant and meritorious Officers, as well as to the Officers ferving under them, and to the Seamen and Marines on board the fleet. The Noble Earl prefaced his motion with a very few general obfervations, upon the important nature and the great profeffional merit difplayed in obtaining the recent Naval Victory near Copenhagen. He faid he had no hesitation to fay, that, in his opinion, the recent victory atchieved by the gallant Officers to whom he fhould have the honour of moving their Lordships Thanks, furpaffed any exploit ever performed by the Naval Forces of this country. His Lordship then moved

to this effect," That the Thanks of the House be given to Admiral Sir Hyde Parker, for the very able and judicious difpofition made by him of the naval force under his command, for the attack, &c. of the Danish fhips formed in a line of defence, and by means of which the Danish Naval Force, in the harbour of Copenhagen, was either taken or deftroyed on the 2d day of April, 1801, alfo to Vice-Admiral Lord Nelfon, K.B. to Rear-Admiral Graves, and to Lieu tenant-Colonel Stewart, of the 49th regiment, and to the Officers, &c. ferving under their command, for their very able and gallant couduct, &c.-likewife to the Seamen and Marines, &c. ferving on board the Fleet, commanded by the above Officers."

Lord Grenville faid, the fhort but comprehenfive eulogium pronounced on the action by the Noble Earl, who was not only an ornament to that Houfe, but to the profeflion to which he belonged, was infinitely beyond any thing which an individual like himself could poffibly offer: when he heard him ftate, that in his conception it exceeded any thing ever yet performed by the British Navy, he felt fatisfied that every thing was included which could poffibly be faid upon the fubject; thofe few emphatic words expreffed more than the greateft efforts of oratory from other perfons; he principally rofe to exprefs his own perfonal fatisfaction at thefe glorious events, and his hope that their advantageous tendency would prove equal to the brilliancy of their atchievement, and that the event would fhow that the Northern War was terminated as foon as it had begun. His Lordship then particularly adverted to the great fhare which Vice-Admiral Lord Nelfon had in the atchievement in queftion, and expatiated upon his fingular felicity in being chiefly inftrumental, upon two great and important occafions, not only in adding to the luftre of the British character by fo gallant a naval exploit, but effentially contributing to benefit the political circumftances of his coun

try.

ed, in the instances of Sir Hyde Parker, and Lord Nelfon, the former having fignalized himself upon a particular occafion in America, which his Royal Highness described to be a kind of fervice, in a great degree fimilar to the paffage of the Sound. He then adverted to the fhare which his Noble Friend, Lord Nelfon, had in the action, whom he ftiled the illuftrious Hero of Aboukir, and praifed the judicious arrangement of the Commander in Chief, in selecting that able and gallant Officer for the performance of that part of the service. He praised the intrepid conduct of Col. Stewart. As an Englishman, he had to congratulate the Houfe and the country, on the brilliant fucceffes in queftion, and which, he trufted, would produce the moft beneficial confequences, and tend to the recovery of a country, to which he, and the Family of which he had the high honour to be a member, were attached by peculiar ties, as well as thofe of affection; his private and perfonal obligations to the gallant Commanders, and thofe acting under them, who performed fuch a fignal fervice, were of course added to thofe confiderations in their behalf which he had already adverted to.

Lord Hood made an eulogium on Admiral Sir Hyde Parker, Vice-Admiral Lord Nelfon, and all under their com mand.

The motions were agreed to unanimoully.

THANKS TO SIR HYDE PARKER, LORD
NELSON, &c.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer.-"I
rife, Sir, to move the Thanks of this
Houfe to thofe diftinguished Officers and
gallant Men to whom we are indebted
for that fuccefs which, as far as it could
be detailed by official communication,
is now univerfally known, through the
medium of authentic publication. Sir,
I have the fatisfaction to feel, and ex-
prefs, that no atchievement of the pre-
fent war, coupled with all its circum-
stances, has contributed more to the ad-
vancement of our interefts, to the glory
of our efforts, or which has contributed
more towards fuftaining the conteft in
which we are engaged, and bringing it
to a glorious termination, than that, to
which I am now calling the attention of
the Houfe-I mean the late brilliant
victory over the Danish Fleet. Sir, the
plan, which has been fo fuccessfully car-
ried into execution, was a plan devifed
by those who were in his Majefty's
Councils at an early period of the pre-
fent year.
Preparations for carrying
that plan into effect, were made foon af-
ter. The plan itself was adopted by
those who are now the confidential fer-
vants of the crown, and executed under
the direction of that knowledge, that
fkill, and general ability, which all who
are acquainted with the promptitude,
the vigour, the difpatch, which have
marked all the efforts, and the glorious
effects of many of the actions of that
character which now prefides over the
Admiralty, will be moft ready to ad-
mire. For the execution, however, of
that plan, the great and eminent talents
of Sir Hyde Parker, of the renowned
Lord Nelfon, and the juftly admired
Admiral Graves, were employed; to
which was added, the ability of a gal-
lant and justly efteemed officer, whom
we have the honour and happiness of re-
cognizing as a Member of our own Body

(Colonel Stewart,) who commanded a military force. Sir, this armament, thus provided with knowledge, fkill and valour, proceeded to the mouth of the Sound, where they arrived on the 30th of the laft month, after encountering confiderable difficulties. Sir, I will not enter into the particulars at all; I can only fay that they are only fo many proofs of gallantry, fkill and vigour, in the commanders, difcipline and courage in the men. From the Sound the fleet advanced to the inner road of Copenhagen. It was impoffible for all the fleet to come into action, but the fame courage animated all. Sir Hyde Parker, with that fkill and judgment, for which he is fo juftly eminent, felected thofe who were moft fit for thefe different ftations, for the purpose of carrying on the attack on the line of battery at the entrance of the harbour. In that felection it would naturally occur to him, as it did occur, to confider that the splendour and renown of Lord Nelfon pointed him out as the fitteft officer to take the active conduct of the attack, which, agreeably to his known fpirit, he had before offered, and I am happy to add, that the Conqueror of Aboukir did not fhow more fkill and bravery than the Victor of Draco at the harbour of Copenhagen; but the merit of Lord Nelfon did not reft there.-After having deftroyed the whole line of battery, and obtained an entire triumph; anxious to prevent the effufion of human blood, ftill recurring to, and retaining what he knew to be the principle on which he was inftructed to act, and which was indeed most fincerely the wish of his Majefty's Government, Lord Nelfon renewed, by a Meffage to the Crown Prince, thofe pacific offers which had been repeatedly made, and to the failure of which alone, he faid, must be attributed the disasters, which might befal Copenhagen.. After having deftroyed the line of defence, under one of the heaviest fires which, an experienced Officer declared, he ever felt, Lord Nelfon retired to his cabin, and wrote a letter to the Prince Royal of Denmark, expreffing his defire that a flag of truce might be fent on fhore; ftating, that if fuch permiffion was denied, he would deftroy the veffels and the floating batteries; and if fo, he could not be anfwerable for the lives of the brave Danes, by whom they were defended. Thefe were his words.-In reply, the
