The liovin..ibie Mem b er stated r!..st lie had received in foo ,„,ion that the men in Milford Haven could be victs ,A, l l for else ,hiking a day, or a little more ; but he should r ec,,llect that the charge in the Esti. irate of nor and sixpence per diem, referred to ibe hatbotos ot•Portsmourh, Plymouth, Chatham, macaws , aid other ports, and net at 211 to Milford stse , o . bilieved there were not ten men Mil. ford"Fi.rcen, v::.nse victualling was included in the i t . m in the N ivy Estimates then before the House. It wac no t quite 1..;r, therefore, to take one of the chews ; places in Wales, and calculate the expense ss i o ther disiric-s upon the charge which would be incor , e .: t:;at particular port. Besides, the H o . parable MetTilirr, in his estimate of what was neces victual men, included only beef, beer, and 101 2, forgetting, or probably .not knowing, that us i s i cs tiiose artkles, every man in the Navy received hstea,rocoa, i ne, lesno.i 4 nice, vegetables, Ste ( Year) Since she sta tement which had been made by the f i„ r neible Member on a former evening, he (Mr. e t ok,r) had taken the trouble to make a particular w i ry of the meritorious Officer who was at the brad of the Victualling Department, who assured him that Is. 6d. per diem was the real average 'ex.' se or the amount of rations which each man re- Z e d. Even jn Milford Haven, where there was one open and avowed competition, the charge, by contract, was 1, 411 notwithstanding the cheapwss of tise. o se e. With respect to the motion of the H ono nrabie Member, lie certainly could have no ob. j eet i o n to produce all the papers he required, or anira other which he might think necessary,. and it was his coovictien that whenever the question was tho ess4hly di cussed, it would be found that Is. 6.1. per ej ect was ma more than enough to cover the expense tti t h, , Average ration of,each man. gr. 6:IItHAM said a few words upon the cheap- To o f provisions at Milford Haven. 141 r. FREE AN FLE wished to know whether snr t hing was fur..ished to the men, under the pre. r e emir:icy which was not furnished in the years ism 1814,and ISL.; It not, it made no difference b to m : srp,mment, and it would remain for the lion. Secrete/ to shear why :hose articles which were sup• plied at one slnliing a day in those years, sho..;d now !erre Is. 6d. when the prices of all commodities bad taboo so much. A fusilier conversation ensued between Mr. Cao. mot, MT.Jo..its, Admiral MAnscitAst, Mr. BitouottAM, and*. BAltlPiCi, when the motion was carried. Mr. BA.a ING next moved tot a statement of the rate a t which such men Were victualled during the years 1313,1814, and 1815.—Ordered. Tile Hon. *other afterwards moved or a statement of the ex pease lammed iu building and fitting out for sea, the frigates Cydnus and Eurotas, and also a statement of the time ..t which each frigate was fit for service, and the condition in which they now were. His ob ject in making the motion was to dr aw the attention o f t he House to what he considered a shamelul ne gligence on the part of the Admiralty. He untie... stood those vesseis had not been built more titan two or three years, and that !In-) , were now, in come. (petite of their tame of decay, to be cat up Int fire wood, though they had cost the country such enor mous sums of money. It was immaterial to hint whether they had been built in merchant yards, ro in Government dock-yards ; in either case their ap tamed to be an equal blame attaching to the Go vernment. Sir G WARRENDER said, that the system of which the Honeutable M-nnber had complained on a Amer eveeing (building ships in merchant.' yard.) vas Already abandoned, and would never be resorted to again. Mr. BROUGHAM exp ressed his extreme satisfac tions le hearing, that at Itit h •ith it was deterrnincd to adapt tfe wise and sagacious advice of a N .life Friet. , l of his, Earl St. Vincent, who had long :1 . ,•lo pointed out the tillysof building ot:r vessels in nee: chants' yards rather than in the King's yards. he remem bered ti,e attack Wile!' was made in that I...etise by a Iti.ilit rionnoralAr. Gentleman, now nr. r . ; 41 a- • • • " noble ; attack that would, in fact, have amounted to an iinpeachment of that Noble Lord, had not the House rekcted it; and tile sole ground cl the attack was, that he (Lord St. Vincent) hod te , lected to build shins in merchants' yards. He Lid I now. however, lived to see the day wt?en the giy Art his Noble Friend Was not only acknow kditd, but acted upon. CROK,EK ..dmitted the importance of Lord &Vincent's supeestions, and observed, that it was Ls' cpword; of five years since any ships of the line kid tarn contrace.d h.r in merchants' Yards. Afar a fLw observations from Mr. Forbes, Mr. faker, Ajrniral Markham, and i 4r. Baring , the Mien was carried. The Lis!)

BUIs Sr. Is. di& We are happy to observe that the hint we lately gave, respecting the application of the Droits of the Crown to the necessities of the Nation, has been attended to. Lord CarruaLtoit informed the House of Commons last night that the arrears of the Civil List on the last Estimate, which amounted to 41177,000, had since been liquidated nut of that fund. A Bill is also preparing• for regulating in future the expenditure under this head. The subject of the Abolition of the Slave Trade, brought into discussion by a question from Mr. WA. BenFonce. caused some observations to be made re specting the conduct of Spain. That Power had by her Minister at Vienna, pledged herself to abandon the Slave Trade is to,* in eight years ; but Lord CASTLEREAGH remarked that little could be promised respecting the issue”-in his Lordship's opinion 66 the policy of that Power was not only, on most occasions, unintelligible, but, generally speaking, at variance with common sense." May we not add ?de in many instances opposed to the dictates of common justice." But in the relation in which the different States of Europe are acknowledged to stand to eack other— for this relation as memuers of one great family, was the base of all the proceedings at Vienna.—We say, on this admitted relation it follows that the family of Europe has a right to command the observance, by all its members, of every Institution that has rela tion to social duties as affecting the great family of mankind. Statesmen, and, we doubt not, those of Spain in particular, can easily comprehend, and some of them would perhaps wish to Apply this feel ° f principle only to the relation subsisting among rulers —or, to keep up the analogy, amorg the fat/pre—hi such a manner as to keep 4: children in proper subordine don. But if the symptom of advance toward more perfect principles of social relation--or rather, to wards a more bette6c , al and perfect practical applied. don of principles is to be attempted to be thus limited, they had better have left all the States, respectively, in their isolated situation. None but fools will, in the nineteenth century, delude themselves with the idea that general social principles may be applied by Rulers to their own corporate convenience._ It was the people, not the rulers, that elicited the kNowledge of these principles—and without the pro. p!e they eannot be followed out in any Suite. It wits the general voice of the general popula:ion that enabled the Rulers of Europe as a body, supported by the people, to curb the licentiousness of one great branch of the European family—and the general voice, when directed to a proper object, can at any time command and ensure the obedience of any branch of the same great family; because, when the object is humane and legitimate, the wit' and strength of the people will ever second the benevolent inten tions of their Rulers. The conclusion is obvious. Spain has no right to oppose the general ptinciples of humanity, or to insulate herself in what respects the policy of dealieg in human victims. bloater words, the Powers of I.u:ope, on a qototion of this kind, have no election. If general principi.s of humanity are t direct the social rtlations of the great family, the obedience and submission of every branch of the fa. nply must be commanthel end tnfirced. The world expects this—the world wills it. The question of economy also occupied the atteo tion of the House for some time; and, if the inde pendent Members shall c'ntinue to discherge their duty through the Seslott with the ze' which they have etine , :.:, we may :.ope that a considera ble ;reit% !nay he etfeeted in the public expenditure. Initeed thou be done. The nation bore long and patiently a lead which would have driven any other people, less virtuous, to acts o% desperation— and this load they bore on the promise and prospect of essential relief on the return of Peace. The par. ticular pledge respecting the Property Tax the Par liament—not the Ministers—have redeemed, but the general and repeated pledge of relief from the pressure of War Taxes and expenses has not' yet been redeemed ; but it must if the country is to be completely saved from the ruin with which it was threatened by the late long war. Indeed, it is pos sible that Ministers themselves, witnessing what they have witnesssed, may be induced to act, with more vigour than has yet been manifested, in seconding the voice of the nation, by a widely extended system of economy. It is understood that eke meeting which they had with sonic of their principal supporters on Sunday and Monday had something of this kind for its object. The Duke of YORK was present, and rumour says, that Ministers stated to his Royal Highness the Aisne lute impossibility of resisting the universal demand of retrenchment. The fact mentioned by the Mar quis of LANSDOWN, that in 1792 the Staff of the Army was but one ninetieth of the whole, and that , in 1816 it is one seventeenth part, had made an im pression not to lie f traced from the public mind.— Tne Navy tstitnates too ought certainly to undergo some revision ; but in what may.regard the substance —the material of the Navy, the return of peace always occasions far the first year a considerable expeaditore.. —Bat the gametal dent should be well eta. mined. The figures of an account mar all be cor tect—,not a single error in the additions, and yet the *hole statement faulty. The items should every one be examined as to the necessity for their individnal outlay. Places, Pensions, Sinecures, should every one be scrutinised. On the question of smuggling we again call the public to bestow a 1; the thought. This crime is too often considered u a trivial offence, whereas it is one of the greatest nangnitude ; but there is no need for a Standing Army to put it down. if it shall only. be placed among those crimes which will ensure to the transgressors either hanging or transportation. At this moment thousands of in dustrious weavers are out of bread in Spitalfields, in consequence of the quantity of French silks now worn by those who ought to set a better example. Till you make your laws reach the rich, the law-makers. tho families of our chief men, vain will be your efforts to hinder the lower orders from obtairling contraband commodities adapted to their wants, as spirits, tea, to bacco : teach them to view the crime as it really is. as a robbery of their neighbour.; let the offence be punished as robbery ought to be ; and let vengeance fall wids double severity on the head of every one who receives the wages of the public. Do this and ra will need no standing army to suppress smuggling. Do this, and before long you will be able to reduce the esta blishments themselves that are connected wish 11;e Customs and Excise to a half of their present expmse. To-day we received the Paris Papers of Sund►y: they contain the communication made by the 1(17.:G to the Chambers on the Doke de Dates marriage. His MAJESTY purposes to grant therm a million of francs a-year, as an eraabliOment, but for the first five years they are to receive one lia:f of that sun: only : the remaining half, during that time to be ap plied to the exigencit's of the Stare. General Deszt.t.es trial proceeds : so far as the evidence goes, his case assumes a very favourable aspect. He accepted of the command of the De partment of the Drome from BONAPARTE, it is true, but all the witnesses admit that his conduct was mast humane and merciful. Barring the circumstance 4): serving under the Usurper, in short, DaasiLa seems really to have been an honour to the French name. CIIIMBER OF PEERS. BULLETIN OF TIIE S:TTINGS OF '2 11AREIII.
