pnhlic affairs, to the condu& of Minders, and the difpofal of public money. He withed every Gentleman in the Houfe to examine the accounts on the table, and be Satisfied whether the rums Slated there had been properly applied er not.— He was lure the Houle would agree with him in this point, that it was need:try not to provide any of the fupplies for the current year, until the contra& for the loan could be made with greater certainty and he thought it would be more proper to provide for the extraordinary expences of the laft, before any money thould be nifed for thofe of the current year. With refpea to the fum given to the Prince of Heffe Calk!, it was one on which there could hardly, be a difference of opinion ; and it was only to be lamented that it had not been paid Sooner. The reafon of giving too,oool. to the King"of Sardinia was this ; Parliament had regularly allowed that Prince the (urn of zoo,c.col. annually, from the time of the commencement of the'war until the misfortune which beta him in 1796. Before that event was known, one halt of the furn voted for his ufe had been fent off; and a warrant was if. fued from the Treafury for fending the remaining too,oool. ; which, however, on the news of his being driven from his dominions having reached this country, was not fent away. But in Oaober, I Soo, the late Adminiftration admitted the claim of that Prince, and agreed to pay him the ioo,oool. at the rate of ;cool. per month, and the prefent Minifters thought themfelves bound to fulfil that engagement. As to the obfervations that thee fonts were applied to other betides military pur pofes, he muft obferve, that the expence inctuded in army extraordinaries never could be purely mi litary. The two millions for the navy was not for a new ferrite, but to get rid of incumbrances ; to take up out.ftanding Navy Bilk" Mr. MARTIN explained; and obferved, that whatever might be Paid in favour of there papers in that Houle, the people thought very different of them out of doors. Mr. foe Es laid, he had to thank his Hon. Friend • (Mr. Robfon) for the great exertions he had made on the prefent occalion ; and his obfervations fhould not be treated with levity. He hoped that at the next general elation not a man of thofe who had fo long been voting away the public mo ney would be returned to that Houle. He was aftonifhed to hear the Chancellor of the Exchequer praife the laf Miniflers for their management of the public money. There was not a man from the (pot where be then flood to John O'Groat's Houfe who WAS not convinced that under their admini ftration there was the moll lavifh and fhameful expenditure of the public money that ever took place in any country ; but he would not then en ter into the difeuffion of their condua, as an Hon. Friend of his was fhortly to bring it before the 1 Houfe, and he hoped he would make twenty mo tions on the fubjea. He had advifed the Chancel lor of the Exchequer to make out a feparate ac count, diftinguilhing the expenditure of the late from thofe of the prefent Minitters, and it was to be , wifhed he might do fo. It was evident the papers on the table related to expences incurred during the late Adminifiration. The SECRETARY at WAR rote to explain the na ture of the items that had been complained of.— The fum of tsool. given to the Duke de Choifeul, was an indemnification for the idles he fuftained while aCtually in the Britith fervice, in confequenee c' having been fhipwrecked on the coaft of France, where he was detained a prifoner for a long time, and 101 l all his property. The money for the Black Corps, was for the payment of the fervices of thole who had diflingnilled themfelves in affia ing to take the Danifh Weft India Iflands. Thefe corps altogether amounted to 9000 men. With regard to the propriety of keeping them up, he would not then fay any thing. Minifters had con fidered the extreme delicacy of the queftion, and when he brought forth t he army eftimates,he fhould Hate the fentimenti of Government on the fuhjeCt. Mr. VA NSI TTART role to explain feveral items of expenditure, which had not been noticed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer or the Secretary at War. It was impoffible, he obferved, to avoid mixing, upon all mations, the political and mili tary expences, more particularly upon remote and complicated fervices. With refpet to the fum drawn for at Malta, he was confident that when the Hon. Gentleman knew the caufe, he would, in common with every Member in the Houfe, con fider it as highly meritorious. The furns of ao,OOOL and 47,0001. were in that cafe applied to the par- , &ale of corn, when the country laboured under the preifure of the late fcarcity. The total was then carried to the account of the ViCtualling De partment in the fervice of the Navy. The Hon. Gentleman had expreflcd his furprife at the men tion made of Capt. D'Auvergne,and enquired who he was: The anfwer would, he trolled, prove fatif faCtory, when he Hated that Capt. D'A it vergne was no other than the Prince of Bouillon, a Nobleman of one of the oldelt Families in Europe, who hood very high in the lift of Officers in the Britifh Navy, and had particularly diftinguifhed himfelf in the naval command which he held on the Jerfey Ration. The expence incurred in die Wand cf St. Domingo was occafioned by the necetlity of Hill keeping up a proper intercourfe with that fettle ra.nt for obiL:ls of great utility; and in adverting '0 the funis charged, under the head of Dominica, n- had merely to remark, that they were produced by the arming of gun-boats and craft of that na rare, fur the defence of the coaft, and the pro %Coon of trade. The bills drawn by Lord Bal carrm, Lieutenant Governor .f Jamaica, certainly I,rrmed a confidtrable fum, which was, however, ocifioned by the extraordinary expences of vic Nailing, and the relative Rate of that Wand to Domingo. As to the articles of expenditure, rdpating Nova Scotia and Canada, he could af fire the Committee, that they had palled the exa -filiation of the Comptrollers of the Army Ac counts, and had been created by a mixed kind of military and naval fervice, which at once em braced troops and the eftablifhment of armed vet- Ms. Mi. Vanfittart then went into a minute r iLtilativn of fume other items, and - concluded with esprefhng his hope, that the Hon. Gent:email objalon, had been fully anfwered. Mr. Jones was defirous of learning from the Right Hon. Gentleman, whether he had not for. merly affured the Houfe, that there was no further exnce to be incurred f or F ore i gn T roops ? The CHANCFLLOIt of the ExcuEvErt declared, that he could not have made any fuch affurance, as it was fill necefrary to retain fome foreign troops in the Britifh fervice, particularly thofe who continued in Egypt. No returns had been receiv ed, and confequently their accounts could not be yet made up. Mr. Ronsom affured the Committee that he was perfe9ly fatisfied on many points by the fair and candid anfivers which he had received from his Majefly's Miniflers. He wifhed, however, to learn what became of the Premiums on Exche quer Bills ? Mr. VANSITTART obferved, that they were ap plied to the Intereft of the Exchequer Bills. The Refolutions of the CHANCELLOR of the Ex. CHErtykß,_ _ . . That the funs of r,847,174 be granted to defray the Extra ordinaries of the Army for the year Igor.

One-third of the body is to be called out for twenty-one days an nually to be exercifed. Regiments of 800 men to have one Colonel, two Lieutenant-Colonels, and three Majors. Regiments of 700 men to have one Colonel, two Lieutenant Colonels, and two Ma jors, and fo on, reducing tht number of Field Officers in proportion to the fize of the Regiment. The Bill contains a number of other regulations, and is generally approved of by Militia Officers.
