A new writ was ordered to be issued for the election of a member for the borough of Sligo, in the room of Owen Wynne, esq. who had accepted of the office of escheater of Munster.—Mr. Williams presented the 14th report of the commissioners of naval inquiry. Ordered to be printed.—Lord Howick said, that he was about to move for some papers, to the granting of which there could be no objection. It would be proper to state to the house the reason why he asked for them. Soon after he had come into office he had been informed on good authority that in consequence of the embankments at Catwater, near Plymouth, the Sound there might in a short time become unsafe for his Majesty's ships. Having this information from respectable authority, he had thought the matter of sufficient moment to require examination. He had accordingly ordered an inquiry to be made by engineers, whose reports, in some 868 degree, confirmed what he had heard on this point. They, however, requested time to make a more minute and accurate report, and this, by some accident, did not come to his hands till the 18th of the present month. This he stated to account for the lateness of the period at which he submitted this affair to the house. After he should have obtained the papers, his design was to refer them to a committee, which should inquire whether any injury was likely to arise to Plymouth Sound from these embankments, or if no injury was likely to arise, whether any more works of that kind should be allowed to be carried on without authority from some competent public body, or a consent on the part of the crown, such as was required in a grant of public money. He concluded by moving, for a copy of the report of the 18th, made by Messrs. Rennie and Whitby on this subject, and an extract of the other report, with the plan of the Sound. The motion was agreed to, the papers presented, and referred to a committee as proposed.—A message from the lords desired a present conference with the commons in a matter that concerned the good correspondence between the two houses. On the motion of lord Howick, the house agreed to the conference: managers were appointed and went out. On their return, lord Howick stated that the lords had communicated to them that in consequence of the examination of lord Teignmouth before the commons, relative to a charge against marquis Wellesley, they had taken the matter into their most serious consideration; that they had searched for precedents, but could only find one, Which was that of lord Balcarras in 1779. On the motion of lord Howick this communication was ordered to be taken into consideration on Friday next.—On the motion of sir W. Young, lord Temples proposed motion relative to the Oude charge was postponed from Wednesday to Friday.—Mr. Kerr gave notice that early next session he would move for a committee to examine the acts relative to the Irish roads.—Lord Douglas moved, that the return to the order of the house of the 8th of May, for an account of the gratuities and pensions granted by the East India company since 1793, should be made forthwith. Ordered.—The Greenwich chest and Greenwich hospital bills were brought up, read a first time, and 869 ordered to be read a second time, and to be printed.—On the motion of Mr. Windham, the training bill was committed, When a discussion took place on every clause; the whole, however, was at length got through, the house resumed, the report was received, and ordered to be taken into farther consideration the next day.—Mr. Yorke gave notice that he should on the third reading of the bill propose a clause, enabling his Majesty, if a sufficient number of volunteers to his satisfaction should offer, to suspend the operation of the bill.
