1 4 • • r, f ' P. ' I. sblil±ed .to borrow 191 millions? Had Ministers in contemplation to redUce this dreadful expenditure in any important degree ? If they reduced the deficiency of the succeeding year to fifteen millions, this would be the very utmost. So th it we had the prospect be fore us of adding fifteen millions a-year to our na tional debt. It had been.said that Mr. Pitt had re , pented at the low rate in which he had fixed the • .• peace e,!.4blishm , mt of the cou n t ry previously to the last 1.93 T ; but persons Wb 3 were well acquainted with the °pillions of Mr. Pitt, had deeied that he had ever exprev;,%l any regret at t i,at circumstance. He (Mr. Grate) ha never felt any great rrspecof nvinacr To Pitt had eater a., Pi one Minister of this country, but it was but justice to him to say ; that he had used his utmost of to reduce the expenditure in time of peace to a lev.4. with the income. He had imposed taxes to this ehd--( fifer, hear, from the Chancellor of the Exclierpier and he bad Also re duced the establishments to the • lowest possible ammiet. In 1791 he institteed a Committee to in- 11 geire into tht• state of the puldic e x p enditure, so de- I termined was he not to rest till he had openly and clearly %hewn the Norse and t h e Coeette the grounds on wine' , the expenditure then sued!. rrotn the esti- i mates which had been laiS belore them, not ba suppesed that his Majesty's Ministers had taken • any suet extended view of the finances of the coon try. They must have begun at the strong end ; they have iequ:red for whet -.urn certeia services could be performed, instead of se) My, that there was a certain sum of which the best onus be made. On any other supposition, it cetild not fe imeeined that they would ktile reposed a vete or . 150,0G0 men far services for wh c:, enls fifty millions had ever befete been de- mended. With regard to the necessity of this tome, neither he nor the Hoose could jntlge from any thing hue it •ni their knowledge of the histor y or times past. He could not say that a given number was sufficient in this or that island or parrisan, but from the know ledge that on former occesions the same number had maintained the interests of the country. But the es timae.s which had been proposed and voted were greater than those which had been voted for the same service: in former years of peace, and bad only been defended 1111 the supposition Unit they were the inter mediate establishments between peace and war. Dit it the extent of the establishnients was defended on this g round, it should be shewn that the possessions in which the gteet esteblishments were kept op, w:me expired to some dancer, which in following years wiaild cease. ‘Vliat dangers were the nian Lianas or the West India Islands exposed to now, to ethich they %wild be less liable in the next yrer ? Or it t!lete were none, why suppiet a ten:perarresta blislittient He could account fur c h ar; reduction which was promised on no other supposition tit sr. this, that the leliniters had formed estimates which tLey were themselves convinced were extravp gent, and to avoid the shame of an immediate revision, they had raised the fiction of en intermediate state betws en peace and war, for which there was no ground either in the nature of public affairs, or the practice of the country. in Canada it was seia the frontier had been cultivated, and the secutity which had been de rived from morasses arid forests had been taken ire ay. But was it expcc d te_ that these forests would r ise again, or the morasses he ft -d again, so as to wet rant a reduction hereafter which was not now pr Able In 1791 the Committez had aprov.at the estimates which had bin presented by the ilinistere witt,out aey re.lirctit a. Ott corripervier, these rose- a with the votes if Ow pit.et , t year, the stifle- Wes siiiking. It had been attempted to ex pi Cll (Lis •iderence by :..ryitig, that the pay of the army increased, and that Itelaud had ma bee::, ~,c. o idc,t in the estimates of that year. Yet even by tranitee Cie whole estimate of that year, and mak ing iilowee:ce lor I:eland and for that expense which had been iii-..leCentie called a dead weight oe country, lie meant tee pensions ttr those wh „ had ter. sea their cimetry and had bled tor it, the sum of six millions tinly would be the result, instead of the e el which was now demanded.

It had always been the praCtice of the country not only to husband its re sources is time of peace, but to redece at once the military force to the lowest peace establishment v.: ich it was, thought fit to maintain. As.an ex imele cf this, he should cite the force which had b-eli voted atter the Peace of Paris. It had r,ever been thought necessary in time of peace to maintain a force suilicient to repel a formidable invasion, but merely sudden attacks or domestic insurrection , Neither insurrection nor invasion mid we now to fear; and though he did not think the peace which had beri conclueed, or the arrangements made, likely to secure the permamut peace of Europe, yet he did not • &ink that in the present - or tl - e next year we had much danger to apre!ietid ; it. was therefore imperatively ernessary to husband our resources at the present time, that we might he prepared fur the future. In looking at the constitutional view of the question he should remark, that in the comparisons which had be.n made between the present and former peace establishments the effective force only of the present establisllnlcat had been taken into account, while the whole inie.ber of troops voted on former occasions Lad beau set against them. This made the difference appear loss sulking than it really was, for the whole r.umber of troops to be kept in Great Britain .was 32,090, out of , vhich there would be always an effec- tive force of 28,000 ready to take the field. In 179'2, the whole force in Great Britain WAS 15.919 ; it was now 39,099 men. In the Old Colonies, the ft; rce was in 179% 16,848 ; it was now 27,000. In Ireland it wa; then 16,000 ; now it was '23,990. This made, • iu the *former petiod, a total of 48,767, and at pre. sec 87,000. Added to this, near 2.5,000 for the lecw CoLnies, made a total of 111,756, which was the sum actua voted this year, exclusive of the :4:4141es in rtanllcey and Lydia. For what purpose this Force was to be kept up it was hard to 'al' It WI been said that it could mot be for purposes inimical to the Constitution. It was not: his business to com pliment any body of men, but to perform his duty to the people—(Hear)--and consistently with that duty, he could rot entrust any Prince or body of Ministers, with so large a military force. He could not consci entiously say that a force of 92,000 men could be per manently kept on foot in this islaud • wiloutulanger to the Constitution. (Hear.) He concluded by re peating, that the House would not do its duty if they were satisfied with general *professions of economy, for, even if the policy of low establishments had not been that which had been uniformly pursued in fotmer times, this would be the moment to adopt it. Lord PALMERS PON said, he s hould eertiainly ' not oppose the motion on the ground of precedent, as had been anticipated, because, under the present c i r cumstances of the country , it was open to any Member to bring forward any motion on the subject of the public expenditure, which he might conceive the exigency of the State to requiret-the shou d l op. pose it, however, because the Rinse, by :treeing to it, would teseind in effect that vote which they had, Alter so vetch serieus and attentive deliberation., adopted. It Was only on the resent year the met ceiuld have any effect. If it was intended that the motion should refer to the next year, it was pre. ntetere, as it gave directions for the conduct of Par liement at a time of tits- exigencies of which we could not yet forma judgmeet. The Henourable Getele triaa (Me. Gant) had - not made a fair statement, when he iesd 111 , 1 that no reducti n could be made in the nest year v.hich might uot have been made at present. cause there was at le a st a 'lake: which was required to wind np the expenses of the war, which would necessarily be reduced. Neither could it be stated, that the establihment kept up in Great Britain was 3 . 2,000 men, which the Honoureble Mem ber had by some means conjured up. The whole establishment in Great Britain leas '25.0(X ) The low peace establishments in former times had been the cause of our military faileres at the begin ning of the war, and, by ree enter consequence, of our financial embarrassment. He could not conceive that these establishments could lieve any injurious effect on the industry and energy of the country, which the blessings of its constittrion would always pieserve to its people. It did not i,ecome Gentlemen on the opposite side of the House to reproach Minis. tA*s with the difference between the expenditure and the income of the cour.:ry, l:ecanse it wars by their opposition that the 'l',l“-s which had been proposed to meet the espen;l: - .ore ii id been rejected. Sit.re the rriod when the sense of P.irliasnent had obliged Cion to charge their liee of cereiuct, no one could deny that the Min i sters le..d shown the most sincere .lesire to reduce the expenditure. I. 7 nlcs - , it was to be be supposed that the Parliament world be less y:gi. lant next year, he saw no g:oend for the motion but as he d:d not wish to negative the ascertion that the strictest economy was desiiable, he sheuld move the other orders of the day.

Royal Highness and his Avis. rs meit have been in profound ignorance of the r: ell seite of the i country. An attempt had been made to raise a false alarm for their consisteucy, for no one who hid heard it read could have felt that alarm. The I Address did not propose -large • prospective benefits, from petty retrospective teprouf. It stated the large amount of military establishments with au utiavoi.±- able feeling of regret. It e.Tressed a hope that in the ! ensuing year means wou l d b e taken to effect greet; reductions, and protested against this innovation being made a precedent for the future. If there was any one who was enamoured of thesteestablish meets in the abstract, and for their own 'sake he might oppose the Address, hut in his humble opinion un other. If any man looked at the reductions which had been made it would be evident that they were effected from carve:hence, net Won convietion-i-that they were the asininsurn at retrenchment which would avert the censure which impended on the head of Ministers. It was not till the Noble Lord (Castle reagh) had been awakened somewhat rudely from his golden dream of prosperity, by el the ignorant impa tience" of the people, when he began to hear censure from those mouths from which praise and panegyric had flowed before, that he had consented to make any reductions in the enormous estimates which had been framed. The further, reductions proposed by the Noble Lord an his colleagues vete of the same waspicieus origin, and liable to the same charge of insincerity. When the House recollettid the indecent attempts made to burry the proposed establish. ments through their respective stages in one night, which had been solely prevented by the vigilaneel of his Right Honourable Fri e n d ( Mr. Tierne y ); they would at once see that the confluet of Ministers arose from no principle of attachment.to the interests of the nation. A s curious sort of argument had been adopted by the Noble Lord (Castlereagh) in defence of this extravagant military system, that much mis chief had arisen to the country from our military es tablishments being too much reduced in time of peace. To justify, therefore, this unconstitutional establishment, the Noble Lord had termed the pre sent year Gf an intermediate state," or in other words, a state of neither peace nor war. He (Mr. Macdo nald) thought if the present year might be so charac terized, there was no period whatever when tie euun- trfthiglit be said to be in a state of peace - . It‘was .an argument which every Ministae might adopt for Testifying his measures, and which would effectually debilitate the energies of the country, by perpetua ' tine the means of mischief. The Chancellor of the . Exchequer had observed, since the abolition of the Property Tax, thlt the finance of the country was rather in a critical state—(rime, hear.) Much as he respected the private virtues of that Right Hon. Gent. he was astonished on what principle he could possi bly agree to the wild extravagant propositions of the Noble Lord, his colleague, if he really thought the finance of the couno-y so critical—(Hear, hear ) Did he forget the baneful consequences which had repea. jtedly followed a critical state of finance, and which in a recent instance had deluged a neighbouring l conntry with torrents of blood ? Did he tlenk there was any thing paoiceler in the constitution of this country, or in the feelings of the people, to prevent a similar occurrence here? Were we to be exempted by some magical charin or another from sudden at tack in consequence of a deranged finance ? But al, lowing the Right Hon. gentleman to be sincere is his opinion re-peciine the crisis of fieence, how did he propose to relieve that ? Why, by tax Minn, tin iest, oppressive, intolerahfe taxatien—(llear, hear.) The resolt he found was net favourable to his vie ~.

Great Britain looked in time of peace to the Patriot and the Minisor *rn playine the undivided energies of his great wind to consolidate the adventeges of peace. Lord NUGENT supported the Address, and.re peated, his former argonients against the proposed numerous military establishment. Mr. CURWEN was persuaded that the Noble Lord would not have proposed such a Military es tablishment as he had done, except with a persuasion that he should be able to carry the Income tax. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER 1 opposed the Address, which, he said, must either go to call for an entire revocation of the measures already adopted by the house, or as a recommenda tion relative to the Establishments for next /car ; on both these grounds he would oppose the Address. Colors,' PALMED. supported the Address, and particularly that part of it which complained - of a large standing army as being unconttitutionel. He was astonished to see many Honourable Gentlemen, yeti° had voted against the Income Tax, vote with Ministers for the military establishment to the fullest extent to which they had proposed it. Mr. J. SMITH contended, that Miuisters, from some delusion or other, were not treating this coun try as it ought to he. The cry for economy had spread from one end of the country to another ; and it was the duty of the Hbuse to comply with the wishes of their constituents. The House then divided.
