vral terms, that the offence should be vlaioed by the punishment id a toh demean° r. Pitt to have been more luminoni and correct than those his successors could boast of in the Financial partment ; and that at one period of his life it seemsii to have been his design to become a great. Financial Minister, by economy as well :t. calculation I—but waether he had clanged his triewt in 1792 he could not tell, but from that period all his schemes of esco , nomy had vanished, and the most expensive and un fortunate measures had been pursued, without any re gard to the resources of the country. The Right Honourable Gentleman had stated the offices and places abolished, but he had nut mentioned those created during the same period. The abuses in the Barrack Department alonb were more than an offset to all the other instances of (economy. He argued that the influence of the Crown in that House was by much too great, and concluded by moving, as an Amendment to the Resolution proposed, which, in his opinion, did not go far enough—" That some limi tation ought to be put to the number of persons bay ing seats in that House, and holding places in his Ma jesty's Government." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in a speech of great length and ability, contended, that the influence of the Crown had not increased of late, while, on the other hand, the wealth and itflu ence of the Commons, represented by this House, had increased in a very great proportion. The pro posi:ion, that the influence of the Crown had increes ed, was one which he was prep fired to negative. He contended also, that the independence of the Welch Judges was completely provided for, and therefore . : that they m;ght properly be Members of that House. Mr. W. SMITH observed, !ha: it had often been rep `ated that the present times were a period of com parative plenty. Now though he was not one of the laudatores tcmpor.4 acti, yet surely the very Bill we were debating about last night, proved that the abnse of the sale of seats had been greatly increased. The fact was, that the bad practice w•is fortenately-over-1 "tiled, in some instances, by principle Mr. PONSONBY thought the amendmcet of his Honourable Friend very important, and su6. as would require the serious consideration of the liouse; • he trusted therefOre he would allow it to he on the table, and not to press it to a division. He would la ther vote with him than against him, though he sloe ild, • at the same time, wish time fly farther deliberation. • Mr. LYTTLETON also concurred in the idea of postponing the discussion on the amendment. Mr. H. THORNTON expressed himself to the same effect as to an adHirnment. Upon the whole, however, he was inclined to think that the infinence of the Crown had considerably extended, in conse quence of the increased patronage in the army and navy, and in all the establishments of the State. It became Parliament to be continually watchintend improving our Constitution, according to the tempe , rate manner of our ancestors. completely disorganized his own army, that it would have been unfit for efficient operations for Willi time. Marshal Sinus hat effected his retreat into Gallicia, after having lbst all his artillery; baggage, aminuni= gun, and about one-fouith part 'of his army in this silicon campaign. Sir Aftrituti WELLLSLEY has began his march to the southward, in order to carry into effect the operations which he had planned, as soon as SOULT was di iven nut of Portugal. The retreat, or rathecahe flight of the French, was so rapid, that it was found impossible to bring them to action. In one instance our advanced guard, composed principally of detachments of the Guards, came up with the tear of the French, and attacked them with such impetuosity that the French, after a short resistance, fled with pre cipitation. The Frent.li killed or hlwr.-strung all the horses and mules belonging to their baggage-waggons •and artillery." Another account, to the fullm-Ang effect, was also circulated : Several ether clauses of the Till unde-went conalde •able dis zussiup ; atter which the !louse ;laving been resumed, the reptrt was urdei eel: obe recei% , o _ rno , row .

On the motion of Mr. MARTIN, the House went into a Committee on the third Finance Report. Mr. MARTIN said, that one thing had happened to give strength to his former opinions, which was the permanent taxes, which only brought in 30 millions for tf.e la..f. year, while the interest of the national debt is SI millions, and upwards. If that account be true, we are arrived at the time when we must see that every shilling added to our e::pcnditure must assist in rendering the War Taxes more permanent, and every day adding to the permanency of the In come Tax also. As a discussion on all the parts of the 'Resolutions' would occupy a• deal of time, he would consider them briefly. His first Resolution went to . recommend economy in the public expendi- Wet on account of the perilous situation of affairs, and the increasing weight of Taxes. Mr. HUSKISSON thought* the resources of the country had been stated by the. Honourable Gentle. man in too g,loorny a light. He considered the per manent taxes as sufficient to defray the inteiest of the national debt. He did not think that the permanent taxes had diminished within the course of last year. But if they had, the duties on timber, &c. had been less, in consequence of the little imported this year, whereas list year had been one of considerable corn merce. The produce of the War Taxes has increased since last year above one million, which more than makes up for the supposed deficiency in the Perma- nent Taxes. He deprecated any opinion of despon dency being entertained by the Committee, with re gard, to the state of the Taxe,s. Lord FOLKSTONE conceived that there was much fallacy in the arguments used to spew the pros perity of the country. Mr. MA RTIN explained. Mr. TIERNEY thought his Hon. Friend (Mr. Martin) was perfectly right to impress on the House, by his first Resolution, the necessity of economy at the present state of . affairs. He stated, that the Con solidated Fund had been £900,000 less in its produce that the. Chancellor of the Exchequer had said he ex pected it would be ; he judging it would produce four millions, whereas it had only produced, for the last year, 5e3,100,000. He said, the Peace Establish ment would amount to 419,500,000, and the perma nent Taxes would only produce £3d,500,000, leaving a deficiency of f 11,000,000. Lora MILTON conceived this discussion irrele vant to the question on the third Report of the Com mittee of Finance, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, if Gentlemen would examine the Resolutions he formerly moved, they would find they were only new arrrangements of those of Mr. Martin. He proposed to subaitute, for that Gentleman's first resolution, that it is the opinion of this Commit• tee, that in all cases of Public Expenditure, economy is necessary. • Mr. MA RTANI then consented to withdraw his first resolution. " Mr. ROSE sail, that during the administration of Mr. Pitt, many economical retrenchments had been made• with regard to public money, exactly on the' same principle with what Gentlemen now wished to lay down. .He would. support. the Resolution of his lti,ht Mr. CREEVEY observed, that the Right Hon. 1 Gentleman had ornitte'd, in his account of pensions, those on the Scotch Establishment and Leeward Ftutdi of 44 per cent. to the amount of 73,0001. In the year 1786, it had been stated, that the Leeward Island Fund, from which the Duke of Gloucester had an al. lowance of SOON. a-year, was insufficient to produce that sum, which was provided by the public. From this fund, however, pensions were afterwards given • to a variety of persons, and, among others, Lady Chatham, Lady Grenville, and Sir Home Popharn,l The accounts receive' yesterday in. else Portuguese Mr, 1 - luskisson, and Mr. Rose, which he considered journals and in numerous private letters from Lisbon, as so much money taken from the public, and argued, were highly gratifying ; and,till the substance of the at the same Vme, that this fund of 44 per cent. was Government dispattbes was snikred to transpire, re not the property of the Crown, but a part, originally, coved very general credit.

The enemy haviug destroyed all his guns, ammu nition, and baggage, with the ex.ccption of such part of his plunder as could be conveyed upon mules ; • and, having left all his sick and vwounded, had el- • fected his retreat through the mountains by Villa del Rey to o: . ensee. There had been a slight nffair with the rear-guard at Ravaens, in which the enemy suf fered some loss. It was supposed that since the com mencement of the campaign upon the Vonga, the enemy had lost one-fourth of his army. Letters have been received from Abrantes, dated May :.'O.—A French corps of l'2oo men had faced the byidge of Alcantara, and ha/ proceeded to Cartel Branco, on their route towards Almeyda, with the intention, it eras supposed, of succouring Sault; but it is imagined, that when the retreat of Soult is fully known, they will move down the- Tagus to take advantage of Sit ARTHUR WIILLIZLIa'S absence. Another French corps, but few in numbers, haciappeared on the South .Bank of the Ta”. 9ns at Membrio and Salorino." 0 To the preceding we shall only add the following letter, which contains the proceedings of Sir Aft.tnutt WELLF.g.LY up to the 17th ult. and some interesting details of the operations East of Lisbon : " Lisbon, Sunday Naon, May 21,11'09.

Mr. WHITBREAD said it was by no means his • wish to take the House by surprise. He only wished that Gentlemen would turn it in their minds, and come prepared to decide it upon a future occasion. He dwelt at some length on the inconvenience of blending the higher Law Officers with political situa• tions. We often found that the Lord Chancellor was obliged to break up his Court, and defer the sentences of his Court, to attend a Cabinet Council, or his duty in Parliament. He then gave notice, that he would move it on Thursday in the House. The conversation was then continued for some time longer, after which the first Resolution was read and agreed to, and the others were withdrawn till Thurs day, when the It:_Tort was ordered to bn! taken into farther consideration. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, And the House adjourned at Halt-past Two. TuE EkExc_NG STAR. LONDON. SATURI)AY, JUNE 3.
