PUBLIC PAPERS. Report of the Committee of Secresy to whom the several Papers, which were presented (sealed up) to the House, by Mr. Secretary Dundas, upon the 23d day of January 1799, by his Majesty's command, were referred; and who were directed to examine the matters thereof, and report the same as they shall appear to them to the House. and Copenhagen House, the state trials, attack on the king's person, treason and sedition bills, &c. &c. It then comes to the naval mutiny, and states as follows: During the remainder of the year 1796, the system continued to operate silently and secretly; but, in the beginning of the following year, its contagious influence was THE report begins by asserting, found to have extended to a quarter that committee have satisfied themselves a design has long been entertained, by societies animated by French principles, to to overthrow the constitution, and separate Ireland from Great Britain. The utmost diligence, it is said, is still employed to sustain and revive these societies. Secresy, with respect to the sources of many parts of the information is indispensable to good faith and public safety. The committee applaud the activity of government informers, and add, they may be the more depended on now, as what intelligence they formerly gave has been confirmed. The report then takes a view of the nature and system of the society of the United Irishmen, from their institution in 1791, and traces the origin and progress of the similar societies in Great Britain, their correspondence with France, the Scotch convention, the meetings at Chalk Farm where it was the least to be suspected, and produced effects which suddenly threatened the dearest interests and immediate safety of the country with the most imminent danger. The mutiny which took place in the fleet, if considered in all its circumstances, will be traced to an intimate connection with the principles and practices described by your committee, and furnishes the most alarmiag proof of the efficacy of those plans of secrecy and concert, so often referred to, and of the facility with which they are applied for inflaming and heightening discontent (from whatever cause it proceeds,) and for converting what might otherwise produce only a hasty and inconsiderate breach of subordination and discipline, into the most settled and systematic treason and rebellion. These principles and this concert could alone have produced the wide extent of the the mutiny and the uniformity of its operation in so many and such distinct quarters. The persons principally engaged in it, even in its early stages, were many of them United Irishmen. The mutineers were bound by secret oaths to the perpetration of the greatest crimes. An attempt was made to give to the ships in mutiny, the name of The Floating Republic; and this attempt was countenanced both by papers published in France, and by a paper here called The Courier,' which has on many occasions appeared almost equally devoted to the French cause. In some instances a disposition was manifested to direct the efforts of the mutineers to the object of compelling the government of this country to conclude a peace with the foreign enemy, and they at length even meditated betraying the ships of his majesty into the hands of that enemy. All these circumstances combine to impress your committee with a firm persuasion, that whatever were the pretences and misrepresentations employed to seduce from their duty a brave and loyal body of men; yet a spirit in itself so repugnant to the habits and dispositions of British sailors must have had its origin in those principles of foreign growth, which the societies of the conspirators have industriously introduced into this country, and which they have incessantly laboured to disseminate among all descriptions of men; but especially among those whose fidelity and steadiness are most important to the public safety. A striking instance of the desperate extent to which these principles were carried, appears in the proceedings of a court martial, held in the month of June 1797; an abstract of which your committee have thought it right to insert in the Appendix. The opinion stated by your committee will be still more confirmed by the repeated and atrocious attempts (bearing still more evidently the character of those principles in which they ori ginated) which have been made in a great number of instances since the general mutiny was suppressed, and of which it will be necessary for your committee hereafter to take notice. At the period now referred to, these systematic attempts made to seduce both the sailors and soldiers from their duty and allegiance, to incite them to mutiny, and to engage them in plans for the subversion of government, had become so apparent and frequent as to attract the immediate notice of the legislature. Among these attempts, that made by a person of the name of Fellows, convicted at Maidstone in July 1797, deserves particular attention, The seditious hand bill which he was proved to have distributed among the soldiers is inserted in the Appendix ; and it appears from a letter (also there inserted) written by him to Evans and Bone, two of the most active members of the London Cresponding Society, and who have successively filled the office of secretary to that society shortly before his arrest, that he had gone to Maidstone for the pur. pose of circulating seditious papers, as well as of making reports of the society at Maidstone.
