expente of the war, among the accounts which were referred to the Committee. The exception was the eftimate of the Pay and Cloathing of the Mr. MemoEts raid he muff fuhmit, if he was commanded by the Chair to fit down, but he laid he thought be had a right to take the courfe he was taking when he was called to order. The SPEAKER Paid, that the Hon. Member ap peared to him to be going on an abftraft point, an d therefore he had hinted In to him ; but if he infifted on Rating his opinion on the fubjed of the war, the queltion being for his leaving the Chair to go into a Committee of Supply, he could not in firiEtnefs, perhaps, be Paid to be irregular. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEO.pER laid, that a Vote for the Pay and Cloathing the Militia, could hardly be Paid to be a Vote to fupport the War, becaufe it was a vote which was palled in time of Peace as well as War, and tke difference between that Vote, and the prefent one under the fame title, was only the difference which the amount of the one exceeded that of the other. He muff there fore fill hold it, that to go into fo extenfive a fub jeft as that of the War, on every Supply—its principle--its conduit—its effect, &c. would be an inconvenience, to fay the leaft of it, to the proceedings of the Houle, and might lead to a great length of argument, which after all might not tend to elucidate the bufinefs immediately be fore the Houfe. The SPEAKER laid, that every Member muff feel a little for himfelf onTuch a fubjed as this. In friftnefs, he could not prevent the Hon. Member from going into the war, on a queftion of Supply, !ince he contended, that the war ought not to be fupported ; it muff rather be left to the feelings of the Hon. Member, with a hope that he would for bear difcuffing topics which had no real bearing on the ibbjeft, rather than to a hi& right to Rop him, that the Speaker muff appeal. . Mr. NICHOLLS then entered on the fubjeft of the war, but not at much length. He aped his ;talons for apprehending our ufing force againft the Northern Confederacy,was of doubtful policy, and exprelled apprehenfions for the fate of Hann ver, in which this Country ought to have a lively intereft. Donor LaWllllllOl Paid, that had the fubjetct of the Northern Confederacy, and the right of Search, tome regularly before the H3ufe, no one would be more ready than he fhould to enter on the dif cuflion • bat alluding to it now, would only vitiate any other atrunent, which might be applicable to the cafe adually before the Houfe, and coniume its patience. Mr. Joats approved of the fentiments of Mr. Nicholls—blamed die late Adminillration for lofing Egypt, forhe was confident it was loft to us. He apprehended Hanover alto would be loft by the courfe of the fame Councils. He had an un feigned refpeft for the prefent Chancellor of the Exchequer, and was firmly perfuaded that he aged under no compromife with the former Miniftry ; but fome perfons out of doors Rill looked on them as a fet of fleeping partners with the prefent. Mr. VANSITTART faid a few words, and the Houk then went fnto a Committee. The Qinllion was then put, and the Speaker left the anat. The CHANCELLOR of the ExcHscurea raid, ft was unneceffary for him to call the attention of the Committee in any particular manner to the Ref°. Isations he had to propofe. They were all of them of the fame dcfcription as had been moved annual ly, though they varied in Come rerpeas in their amount, which arofe from the vote of G rants.be :rig for a 'honer period than thofe which were propofed in the preceding year, with one excep tion. In the Sellion of 1800, Refolutions were moved on Grants from lune 11300 to itio 1, and afterwards it was agreed to carry on the fupply further in the prefent year. It was now propored in this Committee to provide for the remaining half year, and therefore the votes would, in that part where they were for the half-year, be exaMy half of the annual expence. There was one head of Expence to which he would juft call the atten tion of the Comtnittze for a moment, it was the head of Secret Service—that it was imagined would be left than in the preceding year. In the ;mar illoo it was 50,0001. In the fhort &Mon this year, the vote for Secret Service was 3 colool. upon a fbppofition that as much would be wanted for this fervice as had been had in the haft, to that the vote might be made up 50,0001. he ihould have to propofe the fum of 15,00n1---He then moved the following Refolutions For the Charges of the Civil Eltabilarnent of tipper 7.95 0 0 0 For Ltiarges of the fame kind for Nova Scotia 1,915 0 0 Foe New Bronfwkit . - - :Aso s so For the land of St. John - - - 1,900 .0 0 toe Cape Breton - - - . - -957 16 Pr Newfoundituad - • - seas $ 0 S Yoe the Bahama Wands " - - 4, 1 0 0 0 0 For the Bermudas . . . 30r s 8 4 For Dominoes • -' - goo 0 0 Tor New loath Wales - - ' 7,146 0 0 Fa the Sapertedendanee of Aliens - - 7.61 0 0 0 For extraordinary Expenees relating tothe C 062 1,276 18 S For maintaining Conrhas at home - - 37417 6 5 For minting journals, and diffracting Vote., Ace. of the Houle of Coatroom - - moos 0 0 For Military Roads, Bridges, Ate. in North Britain SIX* 0 0 di r dtarsing the probabk =OM of Bins on :6,oent of New South Wales • - 14000 0 0 •.r Expences of the CommMenem on the 7th ttf the American Try:Ay, ice. - 3450 0 0 waS.or good Votes on Addrefica of Pulls malt - - - 2408 la 3 _ . r tie. kaki of tie %Mak; Clerz:y and Laity .1 1 r-zne and American Loya Las - 20,a7s o 0 .ee t .tre : iervicc - - - : s ix* o 0 I 4 , Alit 104111 MOWER= to Landry Clerks in Puha( Men • - - - Leas 16 o Fa Espana incurred on the Plan far the krt. proem -.tut of the Port et London - - sej Is 7 •er F.:pc:ice a( continuing the lade* to the loores4. of the Hook of I.ortb ' - - tl6 ,6 c Fa difclureqg Ezra= as paging certain Pub lic Ammo. 0 . - - - 3roo 0 0 rnr Lapme* of the Parliament Oike - 374 4 $ t•tc Irayiar certain Mb drawn Ws account of Ncw death Web - - 6,706 10 S ' ' r rtiatti eat*, other Mb arldcb become dim from new both Wake - - - 7001 10 4 i n Anibal m.
