Oa the motion of Mr. STUART WORTLEY, the House went into a Committee re forma upon this Hill.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the order of the day for going into a Committee of Supply. NIICELLANICOUS MID/AVIS The House having resolved itself into a Committee. Mr. HERRIES moved that a sum nut exceeding 1110,000. be granted to his Majesty for Civil Contingencies fur the year MS, in addition to 100,00 W. already voted for the same purpose. Mr. HUME took that occasion to bring under the notice of the Committee the present expense of the di plomatic establishment of the country. We now kept up an establishment with the Courts of Eureve which cost 300,0001. per annum, and which, if Ministers were sincere in their professions of wishing to kcep aloof from the concerns of Continental States, Avits uncalled for by the relations of the nation. In 18.17, the Finance Committee fixed the amount for this depaitment very liberal scale, and notwithst anding it had since every year incre as ed. F or hi s pa rt he thotteht it "khe very sell be reduced to the standard of 1792 W leo Ihe saw th.it vexatious taxes were maintained on the plea of their being necessary to the support of the tr 47 tion, he could not help thinking that the charge for our diplomatic establishment was altogether dispropore donate to the wants of the State. In proof of this he , would advert to the expense of our embassy at P.O. In 1792, it amounted to 8000/. but the Finance Cons. mittee of 1817, considering it one of importance, rated it at 1 1,000/. or 12,0001. per annum. Last year, how-, ever, beside: this sum, several bills were brought into the Civil Contingencies on the same account, amount ing to 15,0001. which made the whole cost of the %ion 27,0001. To him (Mr. Hume) the amount td which these extraordinai ies wet e swelled was unac countable. In 1818, they were 28.000/. in 18‘23, 30,0001. and last year, no less than 80,0001. so that hi* stead of 226,0001. per annum, appropriated by the Pl. nance Committee for this sum, it was at pteieni 312,0)01. Ile must also beg to remind the House that in the 312,0001. was not included the 60,0001. for the le vetal missions to South America, and for the Consuls- General appointed there—which increased the tdtal charge to nearly 400,0001.—Although, however; he did not object to the latter item, he thought that the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Secretary Canning) either ought to bring back the expenses of the Missions to the Petty States of Germany to their amount in 1792, or withdraw our Ministers altogether from those Courts. As things were =mining on be saw no limits to the 'charges of our Diplomatic Establishment ; for as our relation. increased with the new world, the cost of those with the old world, Magid of being proportionably dirinished, was kept up, and in some eases augmented. He had already noticed the charge under the head es traordinaries for the Paris Mission. U nder the same head there was a charge of X 5,000 for our Austrian Mission. Another charge for Russia and almost for all other Courts, under the average ex pense of our Diplomatic Establishment per annum for the last seven years, amounted to E 5197,000 a year. He trusted the Right Honourable Gentleman would give some explanation upon a sub ject of such importance to the nation. Mr. Secretary CANNING (who, we regret to say, still laboured so much under the effects of his recent indisposition as to be occasionally inaudible in the gallery) said he should not follow the Honourable Gen tleman (Mr. Huine) through the det.iils he had brought before the Committee, but content himself with stating that in the review made by the Finance Committee of 1816, the branch of the public service alluded to was examined with great minuteness. The sum which that Committee apportioned to the support of our Diplima tic Establishment the House had since frequently sanc tioned, and he (Mr. Canning) midelt a point to keep within that amcunt. He had also enJeavoured, when reductions compatible with the public interest could be effected, so to do, and where the public interest re quired an extension and interchange of friendly offices, attended by an increased expense, still to keep the whole within the bounds originally prescribed. With respect to the States of South America, our conversion with them was so completely new, and their situation was so far from being as yet thoroughly explored, that Parliament would deceive itself if it imagined the pre sent charge was the utmost which would be demand. d on their account, or was at all adequate to the extent and the importance of the objects contemplated—(<flear). For his part he had carefully examined the several claims made from that quarter, and the Reports sub mitted to him, and he sincerely believed the allowances hitherto made to our Agents there, were rather under than above what the duties to be discharged required. It the House wished to diffuse throughout the vast con tinent of America the system ti hch it had already approved, it must also be prepared to incur the cost attendant upon so new, and at the same time so neces sary an undertaking—(Hear, hear). The Hon. Mem ber (sir. Hume) had asked, why not adopt means of retrenchment is Europe to meet the increased charges in America ? But no reductions could be made adequate to furnish the supplies demanded by these novel rela tions. He assured the Honourable Gentleman, and be trusted the Honourable Gentleman Itimself would ad- 'mit the fact, that there were larger questions embraced in the maintenance of embassies at the smaller Courts of Europe than those of mere expense—and least of all did he think the House would cone to the di cision that we ought to give up our amicable intercourse with the lesser States of Germany, and confine all our respect and friendship fur those of preponderating power and in fieence—(Hear, hear). He (Mr. Catmint) believed the current feeling of the country was against such a course of proceeding—(Hear, hear). He thought it would not only be abandoning our interest to act thus, but abandoning that old English established principle by which we had always been governed, it we consi• dered every inferior State as good for nothing, and if we estimated even the good wilt of those Courts which our intercourse with them secured as of small value—(Hear, hear). He must, at the same time, observe, that there were instances in which he had curtailed the expenses of such missions one half; and however much he might desire to proceed farther in the same mode, he found he could not do it without prejudice to the country. And when he had adopted that pl in, he assured the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Hume) that he found it most difficult to satisfy those Courts that tl?e reduction was attributable to a spit it of economy, and not to a wish to lower the dignity and consequence of the Courts themselves. It was, he conceived, a wise policy in this country, to encourage those minor Powers to look op to us as a common protector—not because of any im mediate danger, fur he (Mr. Canning) hoped there was none—hut because he thought them was nothing more unlike our established practice than to bestow all our attention upon tie rest Courts, and leave the others unattended to. With respect to the expenses of the Paris Mission, which the Honourable Member CODSI• dered one of large expense, he (Mr. Canning) felt con fident was by nu means charged at the sum it actually cost. He spoke the mine decisively on that point, as he was certain that his Noble Friend (Lord Gran ville) who now filled that situation, expended upwards of three, perhaps four thousand pounds a year, ont his private fortune, above his allowances. True polic: and t tie public economy was not to .make the emolu- IN • •• .1 A 4 it of gicy lola. s , ENGLISH and BRISTOL.

BISH, of the Old State Lottery O ffi ces, 4, Cornhill, and 9, Chafing Cross, having published at length the Scheme of the present Lottery, now merely directs the attention of his best Friends, the Public, to the number and amount of the Prizes it contains, and its general arrangement.
