The firft was in December 1779, and related to <1 the then ilate of thc-country during the American in / war. The second was in February 1782, to nea> »'i m ly the fartie purpoit ; and his Lordship begged the t House ;o reeolleft, though at that time his mot' h. wis Wifre called anarchical and le .rtinj to confufi ' k and all that was bad,.yet h>nie (hort time af j, wrnij and foHotvttt-trp 'bynn Hi rrr -» o Friend of his in th« House of Comtironß, the Mi '1 ,y "ilter of that day was so far under the ne. tffity of v» ij allowing their force, tfiat he acceded to the ap- .b ; pointmcnt of a Comraiffion of Accouifis, formei' a of independent ,ger.Ueman, both in "fortune and rr nv character, who did fea!i in ci her Houfc- « of Parliament. The rquls paid the higher, ti 0. ci»inplimentß to thfe aWlit.■?», the integriry, and *f< lo indtUlry of these ge. t'rrhan, to whom he said the c oublic were under the gre.iteft obligslioiis f»r the h ;eport they ha 4 pubiifhtS o;i the many moll import- - ant matters committed to theii trust and research ; p ana particularly recommended the pei'ufal of the h ra, report to their Lordships, thattho' a gs they might not find it so entertainir\g as Lorcwzo de 1 ie, Mtdui, they would by no means think it dry read- r 3 ; ing, and they certainly would d#ive from.it a very h if. considerable degree of the mJ ufeful and import-* a la* ant information.

Having -requeued their Lordlhips' attenxioii to thefc k; .ffvjral points, particularly liptifed in the reports *co of the Commillioners ps Accounts,- he. next pro- eri needed to,animadvert on various irieafures adopted on and pursued by adminiftralipn, which he divided dil into twd hrads, viz. those undertaken without con- bi sent of Parliament, ami thdfe in which they had G' that confeut. Of the firll class, he began by no- til ticing the appointment of a third"Secretary of re State, a measure which, in his mind, wis no only \i, totally unnecelVary, hgst which was dirc&ly in the :l face of an Aft of Parli merit pr.fle 1 for tjhe re. ci trenchment : the of f„ many bai racks, in various paits a t>£ the which," be said, was a un- <0 C<»jUuiUi.irfal l «scJ#iirc r and alamifcv in t'uc highest w; degree, to eyery one for she li- ici bertics of the country.

He coridemned; in very ib fevereterms, the appropriation of so large a furn of fin money as they are to port, without any Application be td, or ronfent of parliament. He then took .110- trie tiee of, the_mlraotdinaries of the army, which l.e tri laid were carried to a length that was- frightful to w) think of ; and in of his alTertion on this ce fubj.&j bis Lotdlhips, after paying many high and eli ftijking compliments to the author for his great (h abilities and found .judgment, read an extrad from ir.j A work published by Mr. Hatfell, principal cleik nj to the House of Commons, in which he dates,with oil the greatelj force afld perspicuity, that the ji American war the extiaorcTinaries of the army <,1 were ft> enotmous as to exceed the ellimates gran ted by.pailiament ; so that a larger furtr'of the >tl public money was thus expended by miniftevs with out, than with tlie. content of parliament}' whose tft peculiar ('ury it was to fee to, and t* eonltpul the so expenditure of every (hilling. He entreated their ti Lordships particular attention to what Mr. Hatfell n had so ably and intelligently wrote tVn this head,' h and said he waiud forgive.all those newspapers which, h pretended to principle, all.the ttonfenfe they might; si put into his mouth as having said, if they wouldl (1 but print and reprint what Mr Hatfell had writteti '1 in so true and malteily a maru.ei : alluring the h tioiilc, that'in thole pralft's (:« beftowild op the x work he was actuated by rio ofhet motives whiter er, but that of doing ftrkS juliicc to what so truly n inferred it. The marquis ttien proceeded to com i ment on the traufpurt board, which he ; is si wi'h great ocpence 10 the tountry in ; naval war, which was not the most aufpiiious ill iU f i-oirfequepces, a»d at the iame time was not Co, ■ uctc/i with thai service to the public yMlich it i might be, ' y b?ing cntrufted to fotne a&ive indi- » vidual merchants,or taken into the hands of govern ment.

Beficles, it was not only t the 'wpti-ce.of this b'uard that he fount! i ( *faul. witlv; he had heard alf.>,s th»t it was to be- 1 • come rfejK ace ellablrlhraeirt, appearances, f hi.- yr»si{r»td there weregroardsfir the"f«ppofition 1 . —The gentlemen who compofjM it fcemcd to be .1 ; pretty snugly lituated —they hjid got a house, and_ I ; he believed a neceflary womw also—and lie'.was 1 ' afraid they would not be got,rid of easily. Hii 1 t Lordthip then came to those tneafurei which had 1 . received the fanfliion of perliameßt—and the firll i f he mentioned was, the India bill, which he cal'ed 1 . an enotmous mountain of influence ; a huge s wide' ( s and deep gulph of corruption.

The Lord Chancellor having afterwards read the motion.

His Lcndihip -said, . his was cettainiy alluding to our Finances very J materially, and put him to the necessity of obftr'v- I- ifig to their Lordfl.ips, that it called upon rhem to c, vido every thing which they had tfeen dinny du '< iisgth? last three years, meuly on the afTer.jun of he Noble Marquis, for which he certain!} bp.cf not any proof, and which he would take upon it i.irn to fay, was r.»>t foyndid in fa the lead.
