As the peispored &lea of the Bill was to citable& an unltoendty of =e in the United Churches of England and Ireland. he it wield be better to poltpone the Committee for form days, in order to give an opportunity for the sore nature eon& dention of the mature. After foam converfation, In which the Lard Chancellor, Lord Efienboroegb, Lord Carleton, and the Whops of Hereford, Ox ford, and Ferns, took a part, the Costunitue was deferred to this day fennight.—Adjourned HOUSE OF COMMONS. The intendment' made by the Lords, in the Bill for improving therms of London, west greed to, and Sir j. W. Annaason was ordered to carry it, thee amended to the Houk of Lords, When the order of the day was rewl, foe the fassed roam of the Croydon Canal Bill, Mr. HOWARD moved, " That the Bill be read a fecond time on the I xth of April wit " lOLLIFFF. moved, That it be read a Mr.]( mt as an amendmcnt, &Tend time tila day th onoutba." Mr. HOWARD exprefTed his forprize at the amendment, which went to throw nut the Bill completely; more particularly as it at • tided an oiled of confiderable importance to the inland trade of the country. The Honourable Gentleman who pofed the anwodnicut had not thught proper to Rate a finglc reaon In fop port of his motion, yet called upon the Houk to arm to a vote which would deltroy the property already embarked in the under taking. and fupprefs the fpirit of laudable enterprise in the internal commeeee of the country, which had fo effentialiy contriauted to its profpwity. Lord W. RUSSELL Rated, that out of Sco,ccoL the eltimated lam at w:leh the canal was to be Aoimed, the ken of 120,essol. only had been fabferlbed. • Mr. SOME= COCKS was decidedly - 4*rd the Bill, and be was feepported by t►e at R refpcdtabk authority in laying, that the fubferibers were fo very confeious of theft weaknek, that thdr real intention was not to go farther with the work than to Croy don. There did not appear to him any well-grounded Mama of Its bring carried on to the fubttantial advantage of the country at krge, Noce, out of the ellimate of Soaped. the fum of tata,aool., only had been fubkribed. He wa, ready to encourage every Cyr tan which prowled effential benefits, but he was no lets an enemy to the wild fehemes of bold adventurer, and fantafticalfpeculatora Mr. HURST (poke in favour of the (ecend reading of the Bill en the a ith of April, upon the principle, that no evidence was be fore the Houfe t 'lnduce them to negative the motion. Sir J. W. ANDERSON olikrved, that u Treafunir of the 4rft charitable inilitution In the world, Cheat's lierphal, he had been biltraded to vote againft the Bill, which, were it agreed to, would materially injure that property. Mr. JOLUFPE's amendmait was agreed to, and the Sill was conkquently thrown out. The bit Confolidation Duty Bin was read a t►ird time, pared and ordered to the Lords. The Exchequer Rik Bill was read a [mond time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. Mr. ?IT T gave notk• of hi• Intention to move, nett Tuefday, for leave to bring In a Bill, which bad for Its °Wed the better re gulation, Improvement, and tuereafe of the Array of iteferve. NAVAL DAPENCE or THR COUNTRY. Mr. PITT rote, and addreffed the Route to the following effed :—" Sir, as I have reafon to believe that a part, and I muft confefs a very important part, of the information which it is nvy with the Honk ()could be in poffelfinn of, with refpeill to the Rate and means of our naval defence, is not likely to meet with any oppetition on the part of his Majelly's Minitiers, I (hall not detain the time of the Houle with any details or obfervations which do not apply as clofely as paible, to the papers that conflitute the chjea of my enquiry. I (hall, therefore, Rate gene rally the ground: and ends of the different motions I have to bring forward ; but I beg leave to add, that if they are, as it will appear to me, unexpeazdly ob idled to, I (hall claim the indulgence of the Hinde r in explaining more foliy, and calling the;r attention to ti.e importance of the information in detail, which I conceive effentially neceffary to the falsty at the country. The objeft of the firfl motion I (hall have the honour of making, will be, au humble Addrefs to his Majefly, " That he may be pleated to give di reftions to have laid before the Houfe, an account of the number of (hips of the line, of (hips of fifty guns, of frigates, Poops of war, of bombs, hired arm ed 'eats, &c. &c. &e. in commitrion on the 3111 of December 1793, on the 3oth of September, 180 t, and on the St u of December, 1803, Specifying the Service in which they were refpe'hvely employed." Gentlemen will perceive that this motion calls for the produaion of papers, dillinguithing ss hat is als folutely neceffary for their information, the flare of three different periods in which the naval means of the country's defence were called into aftion. When she queflion is properly confideled, with reipee to the tecttlity of making great preparations, in order to meet with vigour and efficacy thole carrying on by the enemy, and openly avowed to be intended againd slitlence of this nation, I believe it will be found, that the number of that defcriptirai of oar naval force, fit to repel the ailoal at:e ropts of the enemy, is at the preen! moment more immaterial, and his :adequate to the exigency of the danger, ilia: at any period in former times. Shall 1, Sir, detain the Houfe with a tedious recital of the great and extraoydioary changes whiclshave taken plamand whi c h ca ll t :, , v increafed activity and exertion ? Such in appe a l i s sei sdered nonce:ll:try by the atqual Rate of things, and by ca lls which cannot be controverted. .11, on form;:r occali.nns , te have been called umn to make prepanitions of . Jct.:rice in their magnitude, inperior to preceding Cdie3; it does not require from me any arguments to conviNe the Howie, that in our prefent fituation our mcaN of (malty timid be much greater in a consparatix e point of view, and that in proportion as we ate threatened, not only tits acknowledged determitudion of the enemy, but with his encrealed power of cffeeting an inv.'. Son, we fhould redouble our efforts, and be ready to guard again& every pollible rick whieli may be ha. ,arded againa cur independence and hxispiners.— Ile next point to wl:ich I 111411 beg leave to call the !;e: 1 is. Owe f t iectes of ca.. force . . _ vii:.ch is bc!t calculated t , t tnr:t and &kat that plc by the cr.:my, to aceomplith the great Anti IA • , u,'At ~Neet rf ircali n. 1 believe, that a the s::.m:n::¢sat 44 . the L yc.u, it occutted to the Lords of the Admiralty, that the kind of force bell calculated to aft againit the attempts which might be made to died a defcent was, that snore peculiarly fitted to difplay itfelf in fhoal water :—and I have good grounds to believe, that the Lords of the Ad. mtralty, thinking fo, were of opinion, that it to be confiderably augmented. But althooskle;' were of that opinion, in the month of Januttry..lßos,' yet lean fate to the Houle, without the few ofeon. tradidtion, that only a• 3 gun veffels were provided for, as an augmentation to this fpecies of naval force, five of which were to be completed in three, and the remainder in fix months. I mean, Sir, that this provifion againft invafson was undertaken to be carried into effea in the month of January, 184. —Yet of all the veils likely to be' employed with fuceefs, this craft was, of all others, the moft eligi. We, whether its means of defence and annoyance are to be confidereJ, or the water on which it is defined to a& The Lords of the Admiralty, convinced, however, of the neceffary of empinyiog it, took femme ineaftwes for an eftablifhotent of that nature t and I am naturally led to enquire into the Saps, which they purfued to complete fo defirable an ob jea. They determined-to have five gun-boats ready in three months, and the whole, confituting twenty. three, finifhea for a*ual fervice in fix months. It is undoubtedly a very material point to enquire why this augmentation was not thought of at an earlier period ? Am I, Sir, to recapitulate the various mo tives which fhould have accelerated increafed exer tion ? Were I to do fo, I lhould merely rellate what has been obvious to every man of common fenfe and common obfervation. In the month of Auguft, when we law the neceflity of augmented efforts ; when we raw tranfporta for the conveyance of troops collecting daily in the port of Boulogne; when we law them gaining new firength and new additions during the fine weather, to the months of November and December, and when we k-sew that they had in created to upwards of one thoufand in the fame port, independeat of the armaments in Helvoct, in the Tetra, in Drell, and other points of attack : what reafon, let me arse, can he afligned fur the grrti ne glee which his taken place in this repo :a ? But above all, Sir, let me a& what defence can be let up fee this extraordinary conduit, when we were told by Government itfelf,That we were eireatened with inva lion from day to day (a cry ef. 6 Hear! Hear!") when we had, if I am not very much mifinformed. reafon to believe that one hundred strong gun-boats were collefted at Boulogne, ready to convoy and protea the enemy's flotilla affembled in that fame port. In Rating all thefe circumflances, it is hardly neceffary for me, I think, to ap: ;y them to the folsieS under our chicufflon. Having, as I .have oblerved, all thefe proofs before u', I with to know, and I troll I (hall not confidered as :dieing too mach, why we can :save but n F.sca tr , .seer tl,c email/ in his own way, a part at whit!. it to be ready only in three months, art the rcm tloder, the greater part. to be completed in not I than lit ? If we have been preparing for a conliierable time, with all the efforts of which the couatry is capable, an immenfe land force; if Government be lerious in the notice which it has given, and in the alarm which it has diffufed of the attack that menaces our independance and even our exißence ; if we are now ready to contend on our native foil with an enemy waiting for a fa vourable moment to make a defcent in that dais of veffels peculiarly adapted to crofs the Channel ; I hope I thall not be thought unreafonabit in afking, why the heft and molt effeeiral means of meeting and triumphing over the danger, have been fo long lufrended ; and why a part of our counterafling ex ertions, in the naval department of our Rrength,has been deferred for three months, and the more confi• derable part has been poilpc.ned tar the fpace of fix month'? This will conflitute the objea of my fe cond motion, with which I (hall trouble the Houfe. I than not, thinking, as I dr., that it would be bn unprofitable walk of time, tincttrtake to thew, that the means of our national defence, with refpeft to the tile of gun boats, have been improperly ufed; and that when it was found neceffary to refort to them, they were only attempted too late to be effec itual. I have now to (late what has been done in the i cootie of the war, when the occafion was lefs ' prefling. and the circumflances were, under every point vitiw, of a left imperious nature; and I have to affure the Houfe, that if the proper doers ' meats be granted, I (hall undertake to prove the ! truth of the afferions, which 1 may feel it my duty to bring forward. Gentlemen will, no doubt, re , collea. that in 5794, 5797, and 'Sot, it was found neceffary to augment the fame fpecies of naval force to which I h.sve this evening alluded. What was ithe conc:4l of Government at each of thefe periods? A couiiderable number of Icon boats was got ready in the two fit It perimis, within ten weeks only ; and the fame itaicity of preparation was carried on with fuccefs in the year tfot, within the fpace of from twelve to foutteen weeks. Inllead of any exertion now. fimilar to thofe inflances which I have men timid, we are informed, that the greater part of our means of defence is to be completed within fix months and that a few gun boats will be ready at the end of l three. Thus, Sir, I am warranted in maintaining, that here we have fufEcient grounds for a motion to aJdrcfs isis Staidly. that he sti.iy be gracioufly ed to life additional vig o ur and expeaition in prepar ing and maturing our naval nreansrif defence againa the enemy's armaments; tor employing redoubled aftivity againft the danger with which we are threat. ened ; and for guarding the narrow real with more frianefs and vigilance. Theft, it will not be deni ed, conflitute objeas of true confitutional enquiry, and they form a moll lati4adory ground for me to demand the information which I defire may he laid before this Hdufe. In the t.: manner I allo pro. 'pole, au an humble rrefettcd to his ?via kity. for a copy of the c.u...ra..1 made, and the or• der , . given, by the of l! AJmii ally, in s 793, 5797. and :got, will ro the niiraber of g , n vell.ls to be bunt, dittini i aithirg the time at ial.i.h each contraa was made, the period in which it was to be brought to a cooclulion, and the amount of the ' turn to be paid fur the performance of it. Theft accounts are the more important and materiallas they will give to the Houfe the opportunity of net only being the opinion of the Lords of the Admiralty on the fubjee, but they will alfo afford the means of com paring our naval ftrength in this refpee't, as it actually *sifts, with what it was in former inftances, and tend Molt effentially to promote that end for which we cannot be too zealous in our willies—the fecurity of the country. It is not for me to anticipate the opinion of Gentlemen upon there quellions, but molt cer tainly no man will undertake to tell me that this is not a proper mode for fatisfying the Houle, whether the preparations which have been made by his Ma- Minifters, in the direCtion of naval affairs, have been commenfurate to the magnitude of the crifis in which we are placed? As the meafures I have thought proper to touch upon are decifively neeeffary for the defame of the country, I will nut fatigue the Honk wltllddwellieg oh them at a length- thiermalt be Dui n- Rinetive aid tedious. There is, I am confident, no man who hears me that is not convinced of the vall importance of theft objects, which are fuperior in magnitude to any that can occupy our attention.— They can receive no embellifhment or illultration from any words which it is in my power to ufe, for they prefs themfelves irrefiflibly on the minds of all. Another objeft to which I (hall call the attention of the Houfe is, however remote it may appear to fome, not leis elTential to the permanent lecurity and hap pinefs of the country. I mean, Sir, not what relates to our prefent danger, and our actual exertions, but to what Ihould be our &Item of condo& even were peace to be concluded, with refpeift to any farther war. It is a confideration, let me fay, in which not only our own deareft interefts, but the interelks and defiiny of Europe are involved. Next to the two first points which I have noticed it remains with the Houfe to determine whether the nate of our navy, at the commencement of the war, was Inch as to call for augmentation, or diminution. In the year 18ot, it was impoffible to fuppofe that the navy did not re quire more exertion than in 5793, fur every thing indicated that it was not To promifing as in the be ginning of the former war. I have no defire to dif clole the preeife condition of our prefent force, but the truth is, that you were bound to make every prattle exertion, and even efforts altogether unprecedented, to augment and repair your navy at the beginning of the prefent war, from motives and *antes which Jid not exit} in the commencement of the former war: It is almoft needkfs for me, Sir, to remark, that there are two modes of increafing our naval ftrength with refped to our (hipping ; the one by building veffels in the King's yards, the other by building them in confequenee of private contrai9s in the mer chants' yawls- If wo look to di* pmgrefs of our naval improvement for a very long time, we (hall find that no lets than two-thirds of it have been built in the merchants' yards ; and. undoubtedly. it is not neceffary for me to Rate to the Houk, that which mull be known to every perfor converfant with the fubjet, that building in the King's yards, in time of war, is nearly fufpended altogether. I have alto to remark, what I am convinced will not efcape the attention of Gentlemen, that the great augmentation of our Navy does not arife from (hips begun.in a pe riod of war, but from (hips which have been raid upon the flocks for feveral years antecedent. During the lalt war, I can (late, without the poffibility of contradiftion, that out of twenty.four (hips of the line, prepared and finifhed for aerial fervice, two alone were fupplied from his Majetty's yards.— What conclufion then, it may be laid, do I intend to draw from there lifts ? I with to eflablifti it as a fyflem that Ihould be afted upon, that when the cir cumltances of the times require extraordinary effort , . you Ihould look to the building of (hips by contraft, and that you (hould :No look to the augmentation of your navy, not in the pectic moment when ne cellity calls for exertion, but many years antecedent to the prelfure of any unforefeen exigency. As to the difference of building between the King's and the Merchants' yards, it was evident that no material difference arofe in point of expence, fince, in the latter, the amount of the expence was regulated by public advertifement, and the work was to he exe cuted in the belt manner. Now, Sir, if I am not very much millaken, I am enabled to !late, that fince the prefent Lords of the Admiralty have come into °Sze. only two (hips of the line have been contraaed for to be built of in the merchants' yards. I mean to (hew that, entering on the prefent war,v-hen our navy could not be in fo good a condition as at the begin ning of the former war, every pollible means mould have been taken to augment and Itrergthen it; that it was a period which requited greater exertion ; and that only two (hips of the line have been controlled for. while. during the 101 l war, out of ay (hips of the line, the King's yards furnithed but two. But if the Admiralty be liable to cenftii e for thefc it will be found dill more fo from details which I can pledge myfelf to prove, in the moil latistaftory way. I have explicitly to ;tate. that there arc at this reumci.t , docks and flips in the River unoccupied, which are calculated for building fourteen r, fifteen MO t I the line. When, therefore, all circiimilances are put together, and lairly coo', la ...Ai, 1 htlie I dull not be told that they do not et,' gr ,, unds for an Addrefs to his Maj.ily.
