The House resumed, the report received, and the Bill ordered to be reconsidered this day three months ' anJ as amended to he printed. On the motion of Sir TuomAs Aci claim), the Report of the County L'riJges Bill was taketi into consideralon, the Bill re curnm tied, and the report received. Mr. TIERNEY, previously to the House going into the Com mh tee of Supply, wished to put a question to the Noble Lord 1 opposite. A report was in circulation that Lords Cathcart and Stewart had recent) hi en placed upon the Staff a 4 Generals, wilt a proper number of Aides de,catop, a.c. He wi-hed the Noble Lord to sr.ite whether this were or were not true, and if true, to what army t Ito ie Noble Lor Is were to be attached Lord CASTI.ER2AGIi said, in a low tone of voice, that thine Noble Lords certainly were appointed to the Staff upon exactly the same footing as they hail been last year; they would be at the head-quarters of the torereigns, where their 'resew, would be iiects.sary to arrange and transmit military reports. Mr..fiERNEY said, during the last campaign, those reports bad not beets drawn up by the Noble Lords to question, but t y 'na. and inferior o ffi cers appointed for that purpose. Hire, hiswever, now came out this tact, that we bad two Ambasiadors. to two great Powers, who were likewise,pla:.4 upon the SWF, with an expensive retinue. He hoped the Noble Lord would have no obiectioo to produce an account of the emoluments of those appoMtments.—Here the conversation ended. (AD...IA.IOCE ESTIMATES. . The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the House should go inttia Committee of Supply, to which he moved, that the Ordnance Emitnates for GreAt Britain and Ireland, should be referred. The House accordingly went into the Com mittee. Mr. V. FITZGERALD moved some neous Mill Estimates, viz. 45000 forthe erection of an Asylum harbour in the bay ot.D.ablin ; 41250 foe Public Officers in Ireland for extraordinary trou ble ' • 4300 additional allowance to the Chairman of ! the Committee of . Irish Inland Navigation; 41500 for Treasury incidents. Mr. ROSE then moved a grant of 41486 to the Trustees of the British Museum. All these grants were agreed to. Mr. WARD, in moving the Ordnance Estimate for the ye.ti, said, that the whole amount of them f. , r Great Britain and behind would he 44,045,000. his would be a' saving on tt.osi! of last year W. ,e74.,(100. The OrdwAry Estimates would amount to 44,141,000; and there was 4147,000 for the! corps of tEngittrets,—elbe Estraordinaries would amount to £492000 mire than the peace estimate of last rear; but would he 4512.000 less than the last war estimate; There was a diminution in the ankle Of Works tit 4700,000, and in the office of the Master Gene rains the Ordnance there was a further dimi nution of £97,000. The total of. the Ordnance for the service Of Great 'Britain, therefore f would be (together with that of Ireli)sd) £4,045,0090 The in kreate cif revenui to the Clerks would be found to •mount to 45000 for those elilighted to the land see ' vice of the Ordnance department, and*. of swot) for those employed iu the sea' service. There had been, for some years, complaints that the salaries of the Clerks were inadequate to the services they per formed ; and, upon inquiry it was found that they wet e raid less than the Clerks of any of the other offices in the State. It therefore became their duty to give them such an addition as would enable them to !di. cvly.: the common comforts of life ; though still they were not so Vigil in point of salaries as the Clerks of the other Offices, such as the War and Navy Offices. Mr. BENNE . ri . said, he observed that there were erection and repair of fortifications , This sum he understood to be a Board, composed of persons who 'ice of that nature, which would ena ;ome complete judges of that branch service. The sum of itself appeased 'lige, that he wished to have some Igned for it, before he could agree to said, the Honomithle Gentleman was ibis sum was recommended by the agnsineeri, an Officer perfectly was well known, to fill the sitiration Nevettheless, the Members of the to by the -kionourable •Gtintleman,- eenipetent• judges of fortificatakni :11e4 nevir 'been 4411 of their closets : ;vied hit whole life is the field, and _ _ n it2t:6,000 tor the e in 1 . . i rt.c England alone. ommended by g ri had not seen bervit 7: ble them to becom 4'4/ • .4 of the military ter , •S to hint to be act tat .! good reason acing' • . .. . . the grant. •• . • • Mr. WARD** misir;fortned ; (Or • • Inspector-General tiompeten4 as. wat he . wat . pleiced in. , f l oardi illuded to . 1 inigitt , he '' very -. < 1 altkozil i . i titey."ihai , . its a might ip . ... . . liaftiMaSlMEM!tt= Yet• know nothing of fortification!.

Mr. BENNETT said, he . had named no one in particular ; his obsertations applying to the Board of Courmilsioners genitally . ; Most of whom, he con tended, had not seen sufficient service to render them atimpetent judges of the art of fortification. He al luded also to the plan for preventing the publication of the maps made from the topographical survey of the co un ties, under the direction of the Board of Ordnance. The Inland Counties were nut to be 'Published, whereas some of the principal maritime ones had been. . • . • Mr. W.\ RI) said, the Honoureale Gentleman had brought forward a very heavy charge of incompe tency against' the - board, without mentioning any names, it was true; and on that ground lie called it 'no charge at all. Lethim bring a regular charge of incompetency against General Mann, or the Board, and it would be shewn by their works whether they ware competent fir their office or not. As to pre- Tenting the maps from being published, it was dor4 with it view to hinder the enemy obtaining military information, as to thelace of the country. When the Allies were about to enter France, Bonaparte ordered 'the plates of Cassini's great Map of France to be' seized, and they were actually found in a box which was packed up for his.departure to Elba. Mr. WHITBREAD was somewhat =prised as. the reason fur not publishing maps of the interier, of t. the country, when those of the sea coast were already in .the hands of the French, most probably, as a verj distinguished officer; when; , was employed on those to pographical surveys, had since the peace again retort. - tied to the French service. The Hon. Gentleman should have taken no notice of the box, which was opened, expecting it to contain the Crown. Jewels of France, which Bonaparte was running Tway with (and which were, by the .bye, afterwards run away with by another Ruler of France) but which contained only some plates of maps. The fortifications of Chatham, Dover Castle, and the Kovno Towers, had been carried on in Such a way as to excite deri. sine on those who planned them. He had heari that two sets of engineers gave in to Mr. Pitt plans of de. fence for the coast. One was by a canal, the other by Martello Towers. Mr. Pitt told thetn•+,•" Indeed, Gentlemen, I am incapable of judging between you e but, for fear of mistakes; let us have both your plain put in execution." The Hon. Gentleman had said, they on that side of the House were incapable of judging of the competency of these Commissioners. Pliny might not be so will able to judge of them, as a man (if any such there was) who from writing a hook on the Civil Law in his closet. was, some how or whet., put into the Ordnance Department ;—but, as Members of Parliament, it was their duty to in-, quire into, and animadvert on, the competency or, any officer in the state, even of the Hon. Gentleman himself to fill his office. Mr. WARD said, it would not have been accnr-, .ding to the temper or manners of the Hon. Gentle man, if hv hat: not mixed up in his speech a great deal of personal abuse. But he dealt his blows so much at random that he would rather be the object cf his attacks than otherwise. Mr. WHITBREAD said, the Hon. Gentleman had now proved himself unfit for his office by de. fining a personal attack, as being blows dealt about at random. That was just as correct as if he defined a direct aim to be a random shot —(4 laugh.) Mr. F. Law's, Mr. D. GIDDY, and Mr. BARING. were of opinion, that no injury toutd arise to lee country from the publication of these-maps. On tat contrary much benefit would be derived.' • ',- Mr. R. WARD rose and' stated, that he did not repent of what ha had said of tha public iteritata the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Whitbreia), lattaespecteti his private conduct, but could not retract a single. word that he had uttered. 11 Mr. WHITBREAD rose to order, and requested the Hon. Gentleman would explain %hat Le irh ant by using language which he deemed unparliamentary. • Mr. BROGDEN (the Chairman) put it to the Committee to say, whether the matter had not better aloe, and whether there bad not been too much per ' sonat attack ? Mr. WHITBREAD denied that he had personally attacked the - Hon. Gentleman. His observations were parliamentary.. Mr. It. WARD repeated, that he did • not repent of what he had said. He disclaimed any intention to use personality to the Gentleman. Mr. WHITBREAD requested that the Hon. , Gentleman would use parliamentary language. The txpression or designation Gentleman, without the Hun: was uupatliamentary. Mr. It. WARD repeated, that he felt it sr oeftib went t , . be attacked by the Hon. Gentleman. '•l'vei Mr. BENNETT here rose to order. Mr. R. WARD said he should follow his tygr discretion in the line of argument which he mightet , any time take. The Hon. Gentleman had madsll l o, of the term Civilian, as applicable to him (lalr..Wised) and in imputing ignorance to the, lion. Gentleman, he never intended to use the word in any other sense than as applicable to the criticism of military works by a person not a military man ; and who, of course, could not, from that circumstance, be so competent to forma correct judgMent. With respect to what had been urged by the other Hon. Gentleman, in re• spect to the maps, it was impossible that Government could publish them, for the reasons stated. . Sir J. NEWPORT asked why certain Centrals, which he had moved for, were not laid before die House ? He was anxious to know, because the Act of 1782 provided that Members Of Parliament should not enter into any contracts with any of the Public Boards, and directed that sprovision.should be intro duced 'into the contracts to that effect. He under stood that two Members had made Certain contracts with one of the Boards i ; therefore that Board .was highly blameable for not introducing the provision. -Mr. R.* WARD stated, that the reasons the sm.- ' counts of the contracts were not before the House was, that the motion had'beett made fora Return 'of Cce 'radii Or the last five .years, anitthe Returns haVlits been called foe enly ten days since were not ready. • Mr Ho 314g.T pi desired some information spectinraitadditional salary of - 41500 a MT OHM I.
