The Report tben ordered for eentideration en Mondey nett, and en the motion of Mr. Whitbread, ordered to be printed. A Meßage was received from the Lords, announcing their con currence with the lrith Linen Manufaeture Regulation Bill, and tome other private Bilis. MARINE FORCES. Admiral R L R KELLY Rated that he bad repeatedly come down to the Hoek, Ii hopes of feting force one of the Lords of the Ad miralty in his place, that he might have an opportunity of petting a queftion whiZh lie thought of tome importance. The quellion was relative to the v turn of Marina. He aimed to kcow, if the fifteen thoufand of !'Urines were to be confidered as over and above the eighty-four thoufand that bad been returned ? If Micitters were prepared for this queltion, he hoped frame of the Lords of the Admiralty ....oakd come down to anfwer it. Mr. TI t N eapreffed his readieds to fatisfy the Measura ble Admiral The fifteen thoufand, he could affure the Gentleman, were exclufive of the other. The one is Rated, the Right Hon. Gentleman added, from the Navy Office, and the other from the weekly returns; but the two are to be added, making in all up ward* of a hundred thoufand. HANOVERIAN TROOPS. Mr. FOX role, in purfuanee of a notice he had given on a for mer day, relpedling a return of the traofports employed for con veying Hanoverian Troops to thh country, and the date of the or der for employing them, the date of the embarkation of fuch troops. He thought there could have been no difficulty in the way for ob taining fuch a return ; hut he undtritoed this day, from an autho riutive quarter, that there was an ohje.ftloo to the granting of it. lie writhed, therefore, to know explicitly if that was the cafe. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (aid, It did not appear to him, from any thing which had been offered by the Hon. Member on this fubjeffi, that he had laid any adequate cround be fore the Houfe, to lhcw the neccffity for producing futh a return; and until luch a ground mould be clearly made out, he certainly mould have objeetions. Mr. FOX thee Paid, he fbould bring forward a motion on this fubjeft on Wednefday next. IRISH LOAN. The Houfe, purfuant to the Order of the fly, refolred into a Committee of Ways and Means, Mr. ALZIATIO en in the Chair. Mr. CORRY rote, and raid, he felt it uniseceffary to trcfpafs long upon the time of the Houk, by going at any len;th into a statement of the estimates for the =pence' of the year in Ireland, a great part of which baring been already voted. It was neceffary for the prefent only to Rate, that as the permanent charges upon the frith hitabliihraert for the years past had in foam degree ex. seeded the appropriated funds, it bad been thought proper to bor row a loan of ,150.c001. to be railed in Ireland, to make up the deficiency. It was impoffible at this moment for him toftate mi nutely the particulars of the inereafed expenditure of the public fervice for Ireland, both here and in that country. A confider able turn for thole firvices had been already voted, and much remained to be voted. It was only his purpok at this time to move for a Loan of the (mall (urn of 1.50a.ci001. which loin had already been contracted for In Ireland, fubjed to the approbation of Parlia ment, for which it was his intention to make provlfion in the Ways and Means, when that fubjedihmild come before the Houk. . The terms on which this Loan bad been made were at 5 per cent. to commence from the ssth March lath The bidding Was made on the soth of April, and at the rate of Ital. 75. 3d. for every rcoL paid ; but in order to cover the principal intereft, and bonus of 1,250,0001. it became neceffary to borrow at leaf! 1,404.000 l and according to the above rates, the creel intereftper cent. would be 5L Ira 4d. Towards the paying off of this Loan a finking fund was to be created, which, including tomtit, would he 84,2711. per ann. One thing he begged leave to Rate, which was certainly extrantdioary, confidering the cutting Rate of credit between the two countries, namely, that the above bidding was at the rate of 891. cath fur tool Rock, which, confidering that the funds in Ire land were at 5 per cent. brought the prefent bidding for the new I.oan within 1 per cent. of the market price of the old; and this would appear the more extraordinary, as the price of iriffi Rock, Sn the London markt:, on the day of that bidding, WWI onl y 801 t ot. a circuanftance to thew, that the prefent was a Loan upon terms as advantageous as could reafonably be =petted, confidering the Rate of erifUng circumstances. He concluded by moving. " that a funs not exceeding 1,404.0001. be granted to his Mayfly. for the fervice of Ireland, for the current year, to be railed by Loan." Agreed to •RMY ESTIMATF 3. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR cf the EXCHEQUER, the Houle refolved into a Corn anittee of Supply, and the different eftirnates relative to the army being referred To the Committee, The SECRETARY at WAR role to move the neceffary grants under the head of Military Services. The ellimates now to be voted were, he Paid, fupplementary ones, and, with the exception of the charges for the Militia of Ireland, not now included. the ellimates ..or the prefent year were of the fame nature as thole of the lall. The eftimate for the ;I: y and cloathing of Volunteers was 730,0001. The rrd were much as before, and the only thing added was for Foreign Corps. With refped to the Augmen tation of the Army, already propored, by an addi tion of new battalions, it had been hated fo fully to the Houle on a former night, at to render any detail on the fubjeft now unneeeffary. There are, befides certain additional Corps for the ferviee both cf Great Britain and Ireland, the climate of which, for the former, was 130,0001. and that for the latter 70,0001. The only other item, whic:r it teemed par ticularly neceffary to notice, was, the Foreign Corps. in the dal year, the Houle voted for the continuance of feveral foreign regiments in our lervice, as De Relic's, the Qt2een's German regiment, and lonic otlitts; the only addition now • is, the Queen's Ger man Legion, cow - ailing of scroo Hanovetian troops, of which number 4000 are already railed, and the remainder expected to be completed in a little time, all difcip;ioeil men, and well ufed to fel-vice. The whole of thefe foreign troops together would make 7 or ficroo men, and thofe the only noes included in the prefent eflimate. The next ;km on which there was a difference from the climate of lalt year, was, the allowance to innkeepers in Scotland, and which the nature of the public fervice., and the circuits fiances of that country cenlidered, he trolled, would be but reafonable. The red of the items were in the ordinary entitle, and not requiring any particular obfervatir.n. Under the head of Barracks in Ireland was 461,81001. The next item was for the new mi litary eftablilhments in this country, the Royal Mi litary Coliege and Afylum ; the one for educating yoiing men, the ions of officers, &limos of a reg Illi;;tAT; education, with a view to the ferrite ; the other, for the children of foldiers, who may have fallen in the defence of their country. The t,f n ne• to complete the buildings was 31,4001. In !i:e latter eftablifhment it was intended to provide for ic:o children, but the number as yet did not esceed scio ; and the former required fume new ar e:logentents r — under its prefent reg ulations it was required that Amid be paid with each pupil in ciiiertminatrl: ; but this, even though a fmall fum, was found to be incompatible with the circom fiances of ro.,ny deferring Otiicers who were defirous of ads.intag:ng by the Inilitriti,n ; and, therefore, it was intended to open the tftablifhment upon a kale of L.:pence, pi °portioned to the circumflances of the yarcnts, and to educate gratis thole w h o could not afford to pay any thi. T : betide. as it was dciirable to add the advantaAct of art ordinary education to thi le of a military nee. it was intended to acc , m. mr , dait both under the faille r•iof, and pr 'side :vat: molt. for Mailers, Sc. and I , tint a u ntil.ur •rra..ge mi.

The hire of barracks In the WI year already con 5,250,0001. ; and in the barracks already built, there was an accommodationfor 26,000 troop; in cantonnients along the coed, and the efti mate for the new barracks was ;434,0001. including premiles purchafed. The contra& was now before the Houk, and was framed from a plan which met the approbation of military men of the firft experi ence. The works were to be fubjeet to the controul of a Barrack Mailer, whu was to judge anchcheck levery proceeding of the Contra&nr, and without whole certificate no money was to be paid to any Contraaor. Betide this, the public would be com pletely guarded againtt any lois for walle Of time, ex traordinary wages, or debts contracted, as the work was to be meafured, and both that and the materials paid for at the ordinary rate of the vicinage where Inch buildings were to be ereaed, iinlefs it were in vet y remote filtrations whet e eNtra-rdinary expedition Ihould be required, and where it would he but juts to make a realonable allowance, when the Conttaaor was unavoidably fubjeaed to extraordinary expence, either in conveying his men to a confiderable dif- Lance, or paying an extraordinary price for materials or labour. Having Rated thus much for the fati•fai tion of the Committee, he fhould be ready to give any further explanation which Gentlemen might re • quire. He concluded with moving, " That there be granted for that part of the United Kingdom called' Ireland. for the recruiting, 98.000 l." Mr. :R ANCIS enquired if in the prefent eflimates the forces in India wet e comprehended ? The SECRETARY at WAR replied, they would appear by the accounts to be included. Mr. FRANCIS remarked on the incontinency in the reafoning of the Right Hon. Gentleman in refpea to the Barracks. The expence had exceeded all rea tunable computation, and deferved the ferious atten tion of the Houle; the extent of the charge did not at all correfpond with the expedients Rated to have been reforted to for the -purpofes of public ceconomy, and it fome fatisfaamy explanation was not given, he fhould think it right to fubmit the abufes which had prevailed to the attention of the Honfe. The SECRETARY at WAR Paid, among the more weighty charges on the Barrack Eflablifhment was the condruaion of bartacks on the coati ; and it was conceived that this meafure, on . variety of ac counts, would lave a very conliderable expence in ad jacent encampments. It is rather . premature to give any decifive opinion on the total chafge in this impor. taut and necelfat y fervice, as the accounts are not yet made up, by which that opinion mull beguided. With regard to the execution of the works, if the Right Hon.Gentlemanentertainsany doubts on that fubjea, it would be candid if he would advert to fome parti culars from which thefe doubts en iginate; he conferied he h adunderfloodnothing of the kind from the Barrack Office, and he trulted that the Hon. Gentleman, on further enclairy, would difcover there was no jot ground of complaint. The payments in that de. partment were conduaed with the greaten regulari ty, at the fame time fecuring the interelt of the public, and providing 14 the exigencies of the coniratior. The terms on which the engagements arc made, ad mitt the latter ro the benefit of innalments, and he is alto entitled for money on account, in the progrefs of his undertaking ; but t 2 per cent. is retained until the conclufion of the hufinets, to apply to any defer that may be difeovered either in the quantity of the materials, or the Itruelure of the edifice. No pay. mein is made excepting it be authorifed by a certifi cate of the officers appointed to furvey the buildings, and bad materials arc ordered to he removed, and unfubliantial erections to he pulled down. No day work is charged at a fixed price, but the price is re gulated by the tate of labour paid in the refpeaive counties where the fervice is performed. With thefe precautions, it is not punible to fupprife much neglea can arife, or that the public money is employed without a correfponding advantage from its applica tion. Colonel CRAUFURD fignified, he Ihould on fome future day take an opportunity of expoling the neglect of Minifters in every branch of the expendi ture for military porpofes. Mr. W. SMlbii lamented the magnitude of the btirthen of the Barrack department, and confidered that, contrary to what the Right Hon. Gentleman had flei!..l, tae ;arch:tit plan WAS fubjeill to objeaions, both on account of the public and the individual. He would mention a tingle tab, by which it would ap pear the interefl of the tail was not very feduloufly confulted. A fmall Contraetor delis erzd in his ac count, and was furprifed to find a vrols deduelion made in it. Ile appliA to the Barrack•office to be informed of the particular items to which the de clitaion referred ; it was in vaia that he remondrated; he could obtain no explanation, and he w is at 'aft told that if be would not take the amount thus re duced, he might bring his aCtion. Although the deduhi .n exceeded the amount of his profit, yet the whole affair w.4s ft fmall that he could obtain no tethers by !flinging an aelion at the expellee of Sol. or 601. The I iononrable Metnlser was of opinion, that the largo ciifcretionary powers given to the principal Barrac'so filters, was neizlier confiftent with the ' , abbe or private convenience ; but at kart it w lci i.e c xpcaed, where they have filch extenfive coitti.!:nre that they v.••iiiid nfc it with fume moderation, and not only ..said but the ap peara::cc a t ir, by explaining to a creditor their ob• jeCion to his claim. The SECRETARY at WAR explained, that the geueral charatter of the Oiliccrs to whom the Bar• rack department was :01'1i:fled, would incline him to avoid !rattily concluding that they were culpable in the particular to which the lion. Gentleman adverted. AU the correeled accounts he had ken in tile cootie of his official duties, had the ground of objeCtion slated on :ACC of the account AgAine. the item to which it applied.

It will be im mediately feen that this is a concern of too much magnitude to be undertaken by individuals. This volt interfeCtion of the country is not to be on the contracted plan of ordinary canals for inland navi gation ; it is intended to be conduded on a fuperior fcale, and to admit the paffage of frigates of 32 guns. There are many local confiderations connected with this fubjed, which fhould not efcape the attention of the Committee. In the year dot, the Lords Com miffioners of the Treatury direted a furvey to be taken of that part of the Highlands. The Spring and the er.fuing rummer were employed on this duty. During the 1411 Sefton the report was made, and the Houle in confequence adopted the meafure. Corn miff-inners were then under the fame authority acw pointed, who purfued their enquiries with great dili gence and ability, and they were affifted by a Gen tleman perfectly converfant in undertakings of this kind, from whom they derived the taloa valuable information. The report was direCted to two prin cipal objects, the importance, and the practicability of the work. The expence was ftated at from 4 to 500,0001. The zeal of the country has been fo great to forward the projed, that in many inflances the land for the Canal has been offered free of all ex pence. Among the motives, I muft not omit to no tice the confiderable emigrations from the Highlands, which this improvement is calculated to prevent. I beg it may not be fuppofed that this emigration is in any degree to be attributed to the negled of the great landed proprietors. A variety of eaufes have con. duced to incline the Highlanders to abandon their native foil, and it is the duty of Government, as much as poflible, to remove there, that this gallant and valuable body of men may be difpofed to Men to the &dates of their own patriotic feelings. This great national work will provide employment for a great number of the people of that country, and it is expelled that the bleflings of commerce and of the arts will emanate from the fame fpring, and diffufe not only the means of bare fubfiftence, but the comforts, conveniences, and luxuries of life. I than therefore conclude with moving, "That 50,0001. be granted to promote the Inland Navigation of Scotland, by a canal paring Invernefs and Fort Wil ham, and connecting the Eaftern and Wellern Sea." The Refolution being •agreed to, the report of the Committee Was ordered to he received tomorrow. LONDON. SATURDAY, APRIL PRICE.
