CuNSOLIDATFD FUND BILL. On the Order of the Day for the third reading of theConfolidated Fund Bill, Mr. WHITBREAD rule and obferved,, that as it feemed evident the Seffion was about to clofe, he thought it his duty to make two or three remarks on the extraordinary fittration of the country, at a period when Minifters were about to pro ogue Parliament. The Houk had before them feveral notices of mo tions upon fubjeets of the greateft importance. The Bills for the defence of the country were jolt gone up to the other Houle to be difctiffed there ; and they had heard fpeeches from. Noble Lord (Caftlereagli) Slating that there were other meafures necelfary, in It's opinion, but which the Setlion would be too fhert to enable him to introduce. A notice had alfo been given of a motion to confider the prefent trying fitu ;scion of the Weft India Planters, and the motion had been made to infpea the Lords' Journals, for the purpofe of taking an important fobjeet into confider. ation. He knew that we had jolt fent out a very large expedition, which it was fuppofed had not gone to any gr,:at dillance, and from which, there fore, intelligence, it was to be prefumed, might very loon be earthed ; and its refults would be moll im portaot to the country, whether fuccefsful or other wife. He knew alfo that a treaty had been conclud ed between Prafrt, one of our Allies, and France, the particulars of which were public ; and that there was alfo a Treaty figned between France and aoo thee of our Allies, Ruflia, of the greatest code quence, but as yet unknown. From the terms of the Treaty with Pruffia, however, we learned that the Emperor Alexander, who, it had been laid, bad afted with fo much magnanimity, had taken a con fiderable portion of the territory of his late ally and friend the King of Pinflia. The King of Sweden, our remaining Ally, was confeffedly in a moll criti• cal Situation, and the Britifh force was fent nut to atilt him. Under all there cireumflancer, and with the alarming State of the Well India Merchants, al molt iir a flare of impending ruin, with fo extraor dinary a Vote of Credit Aced on account of large lams being wanted, in the probability of the Volun teers being called out on permanent duty for feveral monthia which portended an expo Cation of a fpcedy invafion, or appearance of the enemy upon the coati; under all there cite-I'm:lances, he wanted to know what advice was given. or to be given by hlinillets to their Sovereign, repeaing a prorogation of Par. liament ? He thought that Minifters, who had ad vifed• the dill . ..lotion of the lalt Parliament, were bound to counsel his Majetly to keep the present Parliament together, till time was aff .rded them to confider tl.efe various important fubjeas, which fo mach interefted the country. The Vo'e of Credit was great, and it teemed likely to be taken with a view to counfel the King not to fummon Parliament at an early day. He was therefore defirous rrf know ing at what time it was probable that Parliament would again meet ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQIInIt eontidered that the prolonging the preient Sii.tang Parliment would be one of the greateft poffible in conveniences. As to the prorogation, it wauld be in the ufual was, for a Short period ; arid to be re newed, as occasion rendered neceffary, according to F.,' liter cultom. The queftion, as to the time of meeting again, depended entirely of ciicumflances, of which he could not at prefent freak, as it was not potllble for him to forefee what might happen. Lord HENRY PETTY obferred, that the quer tion put by his Hon. Friend was rot for a frecific - time, but a general queftion. After a vote taken at fa late an hour for a fum exceeding any former inflance of any vote of credit, and taken under cir. cumliances that called for a lets vote of credit than in other periods of war as connected with Continen tal co operations, the mind was naturally diretted to ark for fume explanation of the circumtlances which could call for fuch an unprecedented firm!— ' Recolleeting the circumflances of the vote then, he mull call on the Houfe co be aware of its great ex- I tent. Under the annihilation of Continental co operation, and after fitting two months later than i could have been expeeled, after the events which I alone could render fuch a vote applicable were gone by, yet this large vote was taken, and an avow. al made, that by the meafures now adopted an in creafe was made of 1.300,c001. to the public expenfe, after adding 700,0001. to the vote of credit, under circumtlarces that called for a diminution of ex. Ipences. They had laid it might poffibly be neceffary, in cafe of a threatened invafion, to call out the Vo. lunteer force : but in that cafe he thought it would lee the ditty of Ministers immediately to call together the Parliament. With regard to the 700,0001. that rum was voted in pure confidence, at a feafon of the year when it was not wanted, and, as it appeared, having no other objea but to enable Minifters to de lay the next meeting of Parliament. He Rated that a finals part of the vote taken in March was expected to be called for, and an allowance was made for the additional expences in the Mediterranean. He mull therefore again call the attention of the Houfe to the enormous grant, founded on no data or com munication whatever, made to the Houle by Mini. liters. He fhould take the advantage of the latitude afforded him on the fubjeEt of a money bill, as he thought it incumbent on him to fay fomething by the authority of his Noble Friend (Lord Howick) who was too much indifpofed to be prefent, on the charges that had been advanced on the fubjea of promifes held out an our allies of affillance, which had never been performed. He thought it due not merely to his Noble Friend, or to the charafter of the late Government, but to the credit and honour of the country, to make a diftina explanation on this fubjea. -He had then that Noble Lord's authority for laying, that as to promifes held out to Sweden, which power lie believed had been particularly al luded to, fuch promifes were merely contingent on the occurrence of a particular operation, in which cafe cavalry were to be fent out, and the number wanted could have been readily fupplied at any time when that contingency Should occur: but -the time and the occafion never did arrive. The grounds of the promife never occurring, could any perfon be juflified in making any imputation on the faith,honour, and charalter of the Government or the country !

He hoped, however, that while pins were taken to make people underßand the law, by which they were tared, they would alto hint that the payment .f taxes was made r alit rto them. Of what utility, he wr.1.14 ark, were tho't rumer.rits reports which were Lid before tire Houle. of every kind. if they were not afted upon for the public benefit ? He hoped therefor; that MiNitters I would fc to thole things, befote nest Seffion. As the Repreen. wire of a large induftrious city, he could fay fur his cnnftittient., that they were ready to make any facrifices for the public goad, and to fupport their fharein its fplentiour ; yet they expeeted tco newly in the difpofoion of the national money, and that their ' to &a might he leffilred.

The CHANCELLOR of the h XCHEQyh.R fahrhe was quite unable to give any aufwer to the loft Gentleman, as he was not aware of al: y meafurc founded on any of the reports he alluded to, that would be found capable of producing the relief he mentioned. If the Honourable Gentleman would inform him publicly, or, if he pleated, communicate to him privately, any particular report, or any nit afore which could produce a great laving, he mould he very happy. and extremely ready to ad upon it ; but he could not pledge him felf to be of that Gentleman's opinion ou any of his fug geftions He was ready to give attention to whatever be might fay , but protected he was an utter Rranger to what be alluded to. Mr. P. MOORE faid, that if the Right Honourable Gentleman did not know, the table of the Houfe would inform him of the nr,,,y rep-rts, tinaecial, military, and of other kinds, the due at. rention to which, he. believed, might lave us front five to ten mil- Leon of our expeners.

Mr Ald. Comb:, And foraral others. . J!'~. friend had never Rated any thing of this fort, in any •verbal conference, beyond what was contained in the regular official difpatches, and which were in the poffellion of the Right Hern. Gentleman oppofite.— ' From many circumftances, all arifing from the late diffolution, the Hanle had been kept fitting fo late in the feafon, heaping up laws and fufpeneiing the Contlitution ; exercifing the molt extraordinary and delicate powers ; and giving votes of fume; exceeding all precedent, when th e - importance of public confe derations feemed lefs to require fnch grants. Lord CASTLEREAGH laid, that with regard to the arrival. of the contingency alluded to, he had not (teed what his own fentiments were, but he would fay, that Sweden felt that the occation had arrived in her judgment, and that the confidered herfelk to have tuffered by the delay. Such alfo were the fentiments of the other two Powers. The prefent Minifiers thought it a point n-.t to be ne gleeted, and they did Lot limit their notions of what was wanted to cavalry alone. But he had Rated, that Government had difqoalified itfelf, and would not have been potlible to procure the means of tranf porting the cavalry which required much prepara tion. Sweden thought the cafe fo (Irong e that her efforts were crippled for want of the atliftanee the expelled. Had the time arrived, Government could not have given the affillance ; but the prefent Ad miniflration fet about it immediately. Mr. WINDHAM commented on the difference of the fiatement now made, from mat which the Noble Lord had made previanCly. He called to the recol• leCtion of the Houfe, whether he had not previonfiv laid that he was affailed on all hands, and from all fides, concerning promifes of military aid that had never been performed. It now appeared that it was only to one Power that any loch promife was given, and that Inch promife was limited by a particular contingency; and the other Powers were new brought in, not as c implaining for want of performance as to them, but only for our not fulfilling promifes to Sweden. This acsount might make a good literal flatement ; but how would it make gr osi the fpirit. of the accufietion ? He could at.fwer, that as far as he knew any thing of his own knowledge, as a Member f the Cabinet,land generally of his Najefly's Coun cils, no promife except this had been made, and no promife made had ever failed in its perfdrmance.— The contingency they, on his fide, would fay, did never occur. Ent, laid the Noble Lord, the other party fays it did, and that the promife was not made goof. He thought it might have been as well, inflead of Hating thus the conitruCtion of one.party againfl the other, if the Noble Lord and his friends had given their confiru,c.t7on of the matter. They were more in poffeilion of the documents than he was.— They had all that paffrd between Sweden and us in their hands, and fo tar as written communication goes, would they venture t' fay that we had broken our faith ? Haw did they 6:ew faith broken ? Did, they mean to fay, that the promifes relied on verbal communications ? Thus the nastier (lands between his N. Friend and the Foreign AmbafTador. He (Mr. W.) in that cafe fhould throw the prefumption in favour cf his Air ble Friend. It was quite unlikely that it thould exilt in verbal communications. We were to furnith a certain quantity of cavalry, in cafe of certain events occurring. He did not think that thofe . events had recurred. What further could he thew ? As to ye-IL:ls—the tall Minifters had left a larger number of (hips than they received. In De cember there were about fifty tranfports, and ac cummodation for fix or fiven thoufand men. Though a larger armament could not be put to tea imme diately, yet fhips were always to be had—and it was ablurd to fay there was not a fufficient number for any emetgencey which we know nothing of. Let the Noble Lord produce a Qatement, which he could eafily get from the Tranfpott Office, of the tranfports in hand on the coming in and going out of the late Minitters ; always underttanding this, that the trant port tonnage for that fervice which they found ready was ditcharged, as it could always be got when wanted ; and that a greater quantity was left of fuel] as entail not be had at once, when they were wanted. Let him bring his charges in a more detailed and ex elicit form than that in which he had chofen to make them. Mr. Secretary CANNING Rated that he had been defocus of avoiding thefe difcuilions during the ab fence of the Noble Lord whom they more particu larly concerned. What he had been led to Rate was, that when they came into power they found their Allies in flrong expeaation of pecuniary and mili tary Alliance ; but he admitted that thefe expeaa firms were much firinger than any thing the dif patches contained. Muoh depended upon whether we treated chiefly upon (bele points here or by our re fident at the foreign court. But we had in this cafe, the echo of our Minitter at the foreign Court. A challenge was thrown out refpeaing the contingency for requiring the cavalry; but his Noble Friend had Dated, that had it occurred, no provifion could have been made. The Noble Lord teemed to think this matter a fort of triumph. He gave him joy for fuch a triumph with all his heart. The Ni bit Lord had done nothing more than limply Rating the fall, with his Noble Friend's authority for it. He (Mr. C.) bad contended that the vaguenefs and generality of promifes created an exaggeration of hopes. But he would fay, that two other great Powers betides Swe den did entertain thefe hopes, and that they were entertained by our Minifter at one of thofe Courts. That Great Britain could have a very large difeof able army to fend, he did not contend, nor for afting on the line of the Ruffian and Pruflian forces : but the had a force for diverfion ' at which the Right Hon. Gentleman oppofite looked with fuch contempt, to relieve the Grand Armies from the prelfure of the whole French force. The prefent Miniflers thought our troops might join thole of the King of Sweden in Pomerania. It was expelled on all hands that we thould fend them and relieve, pro raw°, the force that oppofed the French in front. As to the tranfports, if the Right lon. Gentleman did not move, he fhould feel no difficulty in moving for the accounts relative to them. When the Right Hon. Gentleman laid he left more than he found, did he mean generally the tranfports, fuch as thole in the South American and the Sicilian and Egyptian ex. peditions ? This.he believed to be the fait : they were fent there, and none left it home. Thus he might make out more, taking them generally. He had heard of ancient conquerors, who after making good their landing burned all their flips, but he never heard before that, in - ordcr to fend an army aide the fea, the belt way was to dirmits atom tray.. _ . p'nt ts. Mr. WINDHAM did not mean ro fpeak gene. rally. That would not be a fair datetnent. He (poke of difpofable tonnage. There was a greater quam thy cf the fame fort when he went out than when he came in ; and there was fuch a difpofition to attend to this, that no (hip of that defcription was refufeciC The Right Hon. Gentleman had Paid that the hopes of other powers were, that wt fhould fend aid to th e King of Sweden ; but that was not the ftatement the other night when the charge was made, as if they had expeEted the atfiftance themfelves : here was a difference of (hutment. He then obferved, that he ; had never raid we were to wait for the expedition to come upon, us on the fudden. Dr. LAWRENCE laid, the cafe.refpeCting S.ve. den was now very differentfrom what it appeared %Il es , first Rated on the other fide. He ridiculed-the diftreffes I and Herculanean labours of the Secretary of State, is defending the faith .111 honour of the Government and Country, while he was aware all the while oi fectet ; and Outs, by a kind of pious fraud, was liittl t ; , ling the late Minitlers again(' foreigp 'But how whimlical was his Cud& n j. , y the other night Ten contradicting all tilde labours, and proclaivniti the grand (met, that the Government of Eng, gond had not kept her faith, and had occafioned all this mifchief ! TheHonfe and the Country, bow. ever, had not In little intereft in the charaCter of a Government, Winifred, perhaps, by an inttigue, at a critical moment. The Learned Gentleman went at length into the arguments on both fides of the cafe, and condemned the throwing out of Inch bore chatges rat the end of a debate, to anf xer particular purpofes. Mr. CANNING again alerted, that by the con. feflioit of the Gentlemen oppofite, expeflations lad ! been entertained by the Continental Powers of Att. ance from this country. Mr. WINDHAM tore once more to erplain. expeftation was held out, net any conditions mad. , that were not fulfilled ; no pro:llWe made that was afterwards broken. Sir THOMAS TURTON thought that in the pre. fent circumftances it was neceffary to give confidence to Minitiers. Ruffia and PrulLa were proftrate. at the feet of France, and our difputes with America inereafid. The condo& of the latter country was owing entirely to the pufillanimity of the lam &Cili ary, who treated vvithAmerica with a pilini at their breaths. He v abed for unanimity in the public cattle. He commended the Volunteer force, and wal l ed t h e Training A. to be cat tied into execution. He coin. pared the Volunteers and the Training Al to a Qage coach, the latter being like the balker, which was Inch an uncomfortable jofhling ficuation, that thofe who were in it were always trying to get forward. Mr. HIBBERT laid, that what the Right Honour. able Secretary (Mr. Cannieg) had on a former night (hated as promites made by the late Govenimen4 had now dwindled into expeaations formed by fn. reign powers, as to the affidance to be given by this country. Mr. ROSE laid, that the tranfports moll wanted were thofe for cavalry, which required a much greater time for preparation. As to what the Honourable Gentleman had laid about promifes having dwindled into expenation , , he thought if expernations had been held out and encouraged which were n o r f u lf i ll e d. there was very little difference between Ode and promifes. The Honourable Mr. WARD Paid, the Honour able Baronet (Sir T. Turton) had Paid that they were not infinuations made againfl the laietblininco, but a dire& charge. He thought fo ton, and if the late Minillers had really made promifes to foreign powers which they had firbfequently broken, they had been guilty of a crime, and that of no ineonft:. derable magnitude, and he was furpeired, if that was the cafe, that it fhould thus be brought in by way of declamation, when they ought to have been embiidied into a charge, and brought direaly againli them Mr. W. SMITH adverted to what lidd bein' laid by Sir T. Turton relative to America, and faid, that when that country was mentioned, it could not be in language too moderate or too conciliatory. He was certain that blinitters had a • very diffi;:ult talk to perform with tefpe.B to America, and he believed they would be very cautious how they followed the advice of the Honourable Baronet. He a g reed, however, with the Honourable Baronet 'in wh at Ire had laid about the Ttaining Ad, and thought Par liament ought not to feparate till fome legitlative nieafure was adopted for putting in motion that A& which had been brought in by his Right Honourable Friend ( Mr. Windham.) The 11;11 was then read a third time and paired. On the queltion " that this be the 'ride of the Bill." Mr. WHITBREAD role end faid, that as fome charges had, on a former uight, been made againli his Noble Relation, and as he had been Rated by the Right Honourable Gentleman oppofite (Mr. Can ning), and the Noble Lord (Cafilereagh), to have occafioned thole charges, he begged leave to make fome further obfervations on the fubje& If he un derflooclethe Right Honourable Gentleman right, his charge Rood thus: the late Government had made promifes of military alliftence, which they had broken ; and further, that if the contingency on which thofe promifes were made had arifen, it was phyfically impollible they fhould have been able to fulfil them, from h4ving difcharged the tranfports. which were to convey the troops. If his Noble Re lative had been capable of making loch prornife. and afterwards breaking them, he-had been guilty of a crime, for which he taught to be called to ac' connt by a dkefl charge. The Right Honourable Secre'ary had, on a former occafion, Rated, that fpecific promifes of military afliaance had been made to Ruffia and Praia ; but to night he.hadfaid, the; this was only promifed through the affidance to he given to Sweden. This being the cafe, he hopedthe matter would be Rated and brought to a point. The Right Honourable Gentleman might lay the C,orter! pondence before the Houfe, and then every one ser.nld be able to form a fair judgmesst as to the charge. The Right Honourable Gentleman had Rated, that one perfon connected with the late Go vernment had formed expeaations that the military affillance was to be given to Ruffia and Prtaa. Did he mean to fay that Lord Hutchinfon had expreffed fuch expeflations ? He hoped, therefore, they would bring forward a diliinEl charge on this fubjelt, and thereby give his Noble Relative an opportuuitr of defending hirafclf.
