Mr. BATIIURSV twived that the Alien Bill :lu•.uld tie coittmitiel. On the (ovation that the SpeAlter do leave the Chair, Captain lILNINicr objected, because he thought • the bill was huilied tiliongli the House, and also becau.e there WA, no resembiance between the situa iion c.t tals 4:ouatry at the 'Hestia period, and that in iLti the measure wits hiNt introduced in II 92.

De Berenger had others, and therefore should °i, ig: .1: going into the Committ,-e. Mr. H. ADDING TON begged to . say a f!it• wards. He said there were more th.:ll 16';u 10-• reigners had arrived in this country since the rcturtt of 'Bonaparte to Paris. acid the greatest part of them under passports from the present French governmmt. It was scatcely credible that aniung su many loyal Frenchmen as should at this juncture be e.y.:r to quit France, the French goverament weld no, send some of their own emissariewo and ho did,not speak from . light inhumation, when he told the House, that se veral persons had be-en sent hither for the exilic-, pur pose of purchasing aims for the enemy. Ile had imp: apology to maze to an Honourable Gentleman, for having came into the House while he was speak ing, and dime was part of the Honourable Cl.?title man's speech respecting souse Italiansin Sliftilic-street, which lie was just concluling, and which he would be ohl;ged to aim to repeat. Captain BENNET re-stated what he had said. Mr. H. A DDI NGTON declared he /au nut heard one word of the ercurnstance. The Bill then we;;. t^•rous;h a Cnturnittet , , and the report via, ordcrtd to be received to.:not row. cnteiNtrrrEr or surrLy. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved, that the House should go into a Committee of Supply, and th.tt the. navy estima;...s auJ several miicell.tneous .services should be relerie.: to th:. Committee. Wien the Speaker left the Chair, Sir G. WAR RENDER said, that to save the ttrnr of the Committee, he should abstain from go:ng the statement of the voluminous estimates helore lle would therefore content himselt sat:l barely tieing a few alterations which had tak.ra place—an .1 it any H )nourabie Member wished for i.l!ormation on any particular ankle, he would be ready to give it. The navy estimates, he observed, eivided tt•eir.- selves into two heath—the fleet afloat and the serv:ce. Foe estim u of the oidioary nee was increased about X 9.50,000, and the ex:rss Was (Ming to the increase of the number of rersoa, e,oployed in consequence of the detenti'm so iar,,:e part of the fleet, as wed as from the large inci, of half-pay officers, the increase of F ay ree ar.!i to sailors and marines, :and to surgeons, and m isters' '*fates, which had given the greatest satisfaction to the navy. He was happy to say that arrangements riled been made by which an Opportunity had been (4-1 tered to all midshipmen to be constantly employed. The increase of the half-pay amounted to icp , ;6,thio. The reduction in the building of ships and rep.tirs was upwards of £200,000 in the King's-yards. lie was also happy to that the bleak water at Plymouth WitS, in the opinion of all the artificers and engineers concerned in, or who had inspected it, likely to prove of the utmost utility. It bad been town' nectssary to ask for another vote of seamee. At the commencement of the Ses,ion an addition of 8000 had bcen agreed to, and it was now proposed to increase that number to 20,0X/0 men. He congra tulated the House on the present state of the navy, which admitted of a large fleet being sent out with the greatest dispatch, and then moved a resolution for 23,000 additional seamen for ten lunar months from April 15, including 5000 marines. Sir M. W. RIDLEY wished to make a few re marks, neither vexatious nor impertinent. There was a charge of 45000 for parish expences and other con tingencies, and another such charge of double the amount, and one for disbursements of re15,l)00. He wished to know how they arose. In several instances the estimates for expences in the public yards were stated as uncertain. The various itenis which struck him, amounted to £299,000. Sir G. WARRENDER. said there was a head of expence for what was done at Milford Haven ( Peer), but that was a place where expenditure Was propor tionably far less tb.tn in other place:. Complete esti mates werodesirable, but the practice was of A mo. dern date. Mr. GORDON made several remarks en difroren! items : 4.516000 were set down for old tore.F. Great loss had leen sustained by the mode adop:ed ut pressing on the sales, which prndtteed too little, and :night occasion Government to lei..urdiasc At high prices. Mr. CROKER stid every endeavour had been exerted to keep expenditure as low as pu‘s;hle. The most ex.tct mode was used to auctit the accounts. They were in fact audited twice, and he did not see how they could be kept lower. The telegraph branch had been stopped; but a short time would replace it in its former activity. No stores were condemned but such as had been damaged. Sir M. W. RIDLLY, though glad to bear of good regulations, saw no reason for not giving full information. Mr. W. SMITH commented on the chArge of seiitiO a year for the Paymaster of Widows' l'en.ituis, winch was more like a prevision for an individual, than payment fbe such a duty ; but he thought the Astronumer Royal, who must be a man of superior science, and supposed to correspond with similar per sons is foreign countri:s; much tinderpaid at the rate stated of 41129 i per annum, and 4100 for an assist. aut. He did out object to £5OO a sear to the Chap. tai••: GORDON elpla:aed as tr the Auzust sales L.) mouth. Mr : BENNET asked a questinn respecting CT. :tin Usher, to which Lord Caoler:•agh under ,,tnad t-) reply, that semetki..?; satk!act.ry had or would be done. Admiral HOPE said that Captain 1.7i!:-.r loci bccn pensioneJ accordin g to hii r.;:ik at the time he re ceived his wound. . Mr. W. SlvitTH noticed - !he exoences attending the dcparttrre of illustrious foreigners from cwt. try. Ulider the head of 11arshai there included the Princ; of Wurtemberg, nince burg, and a number of others. Mr. PONSONDY understood that Captain K";:, in matters of this kind, had been a gre it ln•r Mr. CROICER could not explain ever ; ticular ; he beliaved Marshal buchei's at the head in this instance, as t:te first nalre down. Mr. WARD—The Arronarrer Roy 11 had been variously paid for Ilk services sit:et: t!.: iitstitutlnn LT Charles 11.• from the Admiralty, Ora tnt-e, anh Royal Srlciety ; altogether he might rece;vz £ - .'oo or 4100 a year. •' Mr. D.

SMaii "did not see why the lioncitrahla Baronet sh add take eilence at what Lit front his 11.): nourabk Friend, who had made no p:isloal allo is its. Mr. WHITBREAD was quite astonished at the Honourable Baronet's taking offence at what he hail said about the rats. He had never observed the charge in any former estimate. Every item of esti. mate was to be attended to, and he siiould always feel it his duly to do sa. He had midi: no personal reflection • but merely a comment on an arti c le be fore the Hous-. Sir G. WA RRENDE R explained. Mr. WHITBREAD was glad the Honourable Baronet was restored to goad humour, after what had passed about rats and cats. His only regret respect •ing the Honourable Baronet arose from the loss ut his eloquent and able support on that side of the R , usa —(Laugh.)—Obstructions were generally found to all naval improvements. Lord Spencer was tad by some of what were called the old stagers" at Ports inotnh, that the bason formed would be the ruin of the Navy. • _ _ _ _ Mr. lIONSONBY was not satisfied as to the charge of for destroying the rat:—(Lausb).—There was another charge of ,C 2 2s. for cats, which he thought would be sufficient to ensure the destruction of the rat: !—(Laugh)—This al.peared to Lint a most eroartrour extravagance !—(Lavkb. l ;.) Mr. CROKE lt —Thc only exc the for these charges he supposed, must from tlic rat: being in one yard, and the eau in 4.; atlier e another circumsi.tnce r.t gieatoT importance. Tne Admiralty were particularly desirous of pruznot ing imprwoments in the dock-yards. What was doing at Sheerness and Chatham, where a basoa arid two steam engines were constructing, was to be ex tended to the greater yards as soon as conveniently could he done. Mr. FORBES and Sir J. S.

YORKE and Captain FELLER' confirmed this tcbtiniony, preferring those made by manual la bour to those manufactured by machinery. Mr. WARD rec(.mmended to the Lords of the Admiralty that time-keepers should be granted by the lioatd to Captains of Vessels in his Majesty's service. Sir J. YORKE observed, that the subject had been attended to, and measures taken for supplying them.—lt was then moved, that a sum of £354,0ut) be granted tt.r the pay of the said men for the same period. Mr. WHITBREAD suggested the necessity for having all the King's vessels fully manned. It was a complaint during the American war that the 'hike were in that respect incomplete. Sir J.
