GUARANTF.E OF THE TURKISH DOMINIONS. Mr. BANKS role for the purpofe of obtaining form information from his Majefty's Minifters, upon a fubjca which he conticlered to be of confi importance. He obferved, that by the tifth article of the Preliminary Treaty, this coun try flood engaged to guarantee the dominions of Turkey; at the la.nie time the Houfe, in his opi nion, was not fttilkiently informed with refpeCt to our relative fitueion with that country. The ar tick in quetticn fccmed to refer to a guarUntee of the dominions of Turkey by a Treaty, which he believed, had not been laid before the Houle. He was fully perluaded, that the Right Hon. Perfon who prelided in his Majefty's Councils had no with nor intention of refuting to the Houle the fulled information on the fuhjal. He felt anxious that this country fhould, at the end of a weir, be left ft ee from filch engagements or embarraffments ref - tithing other powers, as might eventually in volve her in another war, under circumflances which might be injut ious to its interefls, or which might tempt her to the other alternative which he conlidered as QM more injurious, of deviating from its honourable and uniform policy of main taining its good faith towards other powers. To obtain, therefore, the withed for information, he Ihould move, " That an humble Addrefs be pre fented to his Nlajeily, that he would be gracioufly pleafed to give orders, that there be laid before the Houfe a copy of the Treaty entered into be tween his Majetiy and the Sublime Porte, in the month of January, t 799." Lord HAWK ESTICRY fitid, lie 11tw no objection that could be made agalrdl the, produCtion of this Treaty ; nor, indeed, was he aware, till what he ,had Ittacrl tall firm) the I Itritortt able Gentleman, that the Treaty in quettion had not been actually laid bcfnre Patiiitoent. At any rate lie would °bleu ye, that the Article ref - pet:1;11g Turkey, in Ott Pt elimlnary Treaty, did not inipofe upon us any additional engagenvnt. The Ti eaty of 1799 was fel,n :01::r the viamy of Lord Miro% and' wilt( ior to 3 Tr eaty of :4114; ec which had ht. en c.rirchttled b. tween Rolla and the Sublime ; ;:i ii J..: ::•.TV following., the Treaty was ! , )!Irt LI hcu is (.01 this Coua.try and the Porte, and 3 , 4r5-zalAy to that untras rati!i eel bet ween Pitt!:a .tad turkey.

Mr. Wicastroaca did not like pledging th: country to Treaties of this kind offenfive and de fenfive, without moll maturely confidering their extent and tendency. He fuppofed the cafe of a poffible rupture between the Porte and Ruflia, in which, under the terms of the Treaty, this coun try would he called on by France to interfere and quarrel with an Ally. Too much caution could not be exercifed on a ground of this fort. The motion was however put and agreed to. SECRET SERVICE MONEY. Mr. Comer brought up the Report of the Com mittee of Supply. The fief Refolution having been read and agreed to by the Honk, the next, refpeding Se cret Service Money, was read alfo ; when The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER role, and obferved that on reconfidering the fum he . had already propofed upon this head, and in which he was fupported by the vote of the Committee, he found that upon a comparifon of the probable oc callous of the coming year compared with the pall—a period of peace and tranquillity abroad and at home, compared with an arduous confiid abroad, and feditious difpofitions amongft the lower orders of the people in various parts of the United Kingdom, fomented by domeftic traitors, and the machinations of our enemies, he judged that fo large a fum as 33,000 L would not be ne celfary. The expenditure of the laft year under this head, fell very confiderably short of the foal voted, and he therefore thought no inconvenience whatever could arife under the prefent fituation and profped of the country, by reducing the fum of 33,0c01. to 12,3001. He wifhed to lave the Houle trouble by declining to move the recommit tal of the Refolution. And he moved his amend ment in the orderly form. Mr. ROBSON &Id, that, after having troubled the Houfe a few days ago on the fubjed of the Secret Service Money, he thould only now snake a few obfervations. He difliked feeing fuch annual grants introduced in the regular votes of Supply. Secret Service Money went to feed people in Ger many, who always ultimately betrayed us. Large fupplies for the enfuing three months had been al ready granted, and which the Houfe had been told were not likely to he all wanted; Purely then, the prefent demand might be paid out of the monies voted for fuch Supplies. He wanted to be in formed why fecret fervice money ihould be wanted, now that we are in profound peace ? and that at a time, when many families, of fixed incomes, were hefitating whether they Mould quit the country tiom the oppreffion of the Income Tax. The vot ing of fuch grants, he confidered to be of a dan gerous tendency to the Conftitution. He believed that it was a novel prattice to grant fecret fervice money by At of Parliament, at leaft that its commencement might be dated from the year 1787. He reckoned, that upon an average ofthe lafi nine years, the fecret fervice money amounted to upwards of 60,0001. per annum : fo that the Minifler of the day had had about :soot. per week, which he thought was a fum too large to entrull to him without accounting for. And on an ave. rage of the laft fix years, he reckoned that this fecret fervicc money had amounted to the enor mous fum of 183,2 tot. per annum. When the fum of 33,000 for three months had been lately propofed, and palled a Rage in the Houfe, he was much ationiffied that fuch a fum fhould be pro pofed and acquiefced in for a periodof three months of peace. He thought it too much that 12001. per week fhould have been taken 6y the Minder for fecret Cervices out of the Civil Lift, and with out rendering any account of the difpofal of it to the public. 'Phis he confidered to be an uncon ftitutional meafurc, which fhould not be Coffered to exift in a free Government. The CHANCELLOR of the Excntopts. raid, that by what arithmetical procefs the Hun. Gentleman found out that 50,0001. a year was 'soot. a week, or that p times 12C01. was 50,0001. he could not potlibly guefs, becaufe to every body . except the Hon. Gentleman, it mutt appear clear that 50,0001. a year was not quite wool. a week. But it teemed rather ftrange that the Hon. Gentleman (Mould take the opportunity of charging Minifters with improvidence at the very moment when they were propofing fo very confiderable a redation in the public Expence. The Hon. Gentleman prefumed, he fuppofed, that becaufe 35,0001. was alked for the three months, that four times that furn would be required for the Service of the year ; in this, however, he was millaken, as it was intended only to have applied 50,0c01. for the whole year. Upon re-cOnfidering the fuhjeEt it was now his intention, inllead of propofing to recommit the Rcfolution, to move to have the alteration made at preterit while the Speaker was in the Chair. As to what the Hon. Gentleman had Paid about 60,0001. being taken out of the Civil Lift for fecret fervice mo ney, he really did not underfland what the Hon. Gentleman meant ; he only knew that he had no fuch tom at his difpotal. A certain furn for fecret fervice money was always neceffary, and Parlia ment had always mulled Minillers with the difpo- I fal of a turn for that purpofe, and the Money which had been Franted to the late Adminiftra lion was lets, with the exception of three years, than had been granted to any of their Predecef- I fors in time of %Var. It seas nut the intention of Minitters to aft: for more than had been granted lilt ) . ear, vii. to,oocl. and that turn would not be applied if it was not needful-. Mr. Rosstot iltid, it appeared by the Papers be fore the Houle, that for r s years a turn of above 60,0001. had been taken out of the Civil Lill for fecret (dyke money : the Paper be alluded to es as a Itatement of the funs granted for fecret fervice money for 25 years. As to the granting of money fur this put-pole by Pal liament, it was a new prac tice, and had not been done above ro years. The CHANCE( Los of the Etc tisox sa laid, that the Hon. (lend, man was perpetually conveving to hint nov infoi mai i•tti : he really knew nothing alvi.ut the lam to n hich the lion. Gentleman al luded. Mr. Et.t.t.trot 1141, lie lea% inclined to give the htiii*r% Inch ::,tiplits As they mi;;ltt deem ne e:A.lry for t:.: Publi c .c:. Li:re appe.u.il, he thought, upon this occafion, a degree of Ica 'only which the charafter and concha& of the pre. fent Minitters by no means deferved, and until he faw reafon to the contrary, he fhould place that confidence in the prefent Adminiftration to sthich they appeared fo well entitled. Mr. VANSITTART laid, that the Hon. Gent man had fitid, this was a new pratite within ten years, and as a proof of his :ilk:Lion, he produced a paper containing a Itatement of the fums grant. ed for 25 years. The Hon. Gentleman teemed to think that befides the fum granted by Parliament, there was another large fum applicable to that purpole : if it was In, he had never been able to find it, though it was his duty to turn his atten tion pretry much to the Public Accounts. Mr: Roasow Paid, he relied upon the paper which was laid upon the Table, and he did not find that any money had been granted by /lathe. ment for fuch fervice till 178$. The Cirawesttoit of the Exclitopea Paid, Hon. Gentleman was not aware that by Mr. Burke's Bill, the (urns paid out of the Civil Litt for this purpofe were to be paid out of another fund. The Hon. Gentleman, in order to fupport his argument, ought to have (hewn that money was advanced out of the Civil Lift for this ter. .vice, and that at the fame time money had been granted by Parliament for the fame purpole. He had not done to ; all he had done was to Th e y, that formerly large firms were applied out of the Civil Liftfor this purpofc. At prefent he could only fay, that not a flitting was taken out of the Civil Lift for Secret Services, all the money being granted by Parliament. Heconcluded with with. drawing his former Motion fbr recommitting th e Refolution, and moving to amend the Refolution by fubffituting 12,5001. for 35,0001. Mr. Roasow role to objeft to the Refolution g e . nerally, when he was called to order by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, who Paid, the Hon. Gen tleman could not object generally .to the Refolu tion after a motion for amending it. The SPEAKER laid, the Hon. Member would have an opportunity of oppofing the whole of the Refolution when the queftion was put upon the Refolution generally. Mr. Jow ls Paid, he thought his Hon. Friend could not enter into a general objeftion to the Re folution, when the queftion was put, whether the whole of the Refolution thould be agreed to or not ? For his own part he had not the leaft idea that the public money would be mifapplied by the Minifters. _ Mr. Rosso): Paid, he had no intention of impu. ting any fuch intention to Minifters ; but he con. tended he had a right to argue upon the papers laid before the Houle.. _ Mr. SHAW Lsravai (aid, he was glad that the Houle had no intention of making any fuch an attack upon the Minifters, becaule he was con vinced, from their conduel, that no fuch imputa tion could be made again ft them, with the flighteft juftice. The CVANCELLOR of the EXCHFVER faid, he was aware-that it was not only the right but the duty of every Member to watch over the public expenditure, and he biggcd to obferve, that he did not tinderftand the Hon. Gentleman as throw ing out any imputation againit Minifters. But ha WAS anxious that expreffions ufed there, ihould no produce impreftons elfewhere very different from the intention of thofe who ufed them. In 1782, Mr. Burke's Bill paired, by which the Secret Ser vice Money was to be granted by that Houle, in- Read of being taken from the Civil Lilt. The only fum taken out of the Civil Lift now for that pur pole, was to,oool. a year, which-wascalledTrea fury Money, for Secret Service at home, but them was not a fhilling taken out of the Civil Lilt for torti g n Secret Service Money. The fum now to be applied for was only yo,OOOL which was lets than had been granted upon former occafions, ex cept laft year. The Hon. Gentleman had laid, that the employment of the (urns voted for Secret Services, were never accounted for ; but if he would only look into Mr. Burke's Bill, he would find that the Secretary of State was to make oath relative to the difpofition of thole monies. Mr. Roesom laid, that during the whole of the American war Minifters did not come to the Hour: for a tingle farthing for Secret Services. Where the mom y came from that was then applied to this purpofe he knew not, but he fuppofed out of the Civil The CHANCELLOR of the Excasoarte laid, that if the Hon. Gentleman knew any thing, he mull know this, that Parliament had, wi bin the period alluded to by the Hon. Gentleman, paid the debts of the Civil Lift, a great past of which wore from the fums applied for Secret Services. Sir JOHN Paa m ELL role to (peak to Order. He could not conceive bow kthe continuance of this difuuffion applied to the queftion before the Houle. There was not a word laid about leffening the fum, and it was the firft time he had heard of any jea -1014 being (hewn at the Minifter's decreafing the expences of the country. Before Mr. Burke's bill. Minifters could fpend whatever fum they pleated in Secret Services, but by the provifions of that Bill, the precife fum was to be voted by Parlia ment. He could not imagine for a moment that any one would opptife the voting of Secret Service Money, which was always abfolutely neceffary, the application of which had, he was lure, prefer ved both England and Ireland from infurreltions And rebellions, and which was effential to the terefli of the State. The money now propofed to lie voted was certainly reduced to the finalieftfum ;liable 4 he was only doubtful whether it was large enough. No one could deny the truth of the pa per brought forward by the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Robfon), but he denied the inference that was attempt( d to be drawn from it, it having no 'ela tion to the quell" before the Houle. Mr. Et. LIfOR raid, the Hon. Gentleman (Mr- Robfon) had been merely talking of Auks which exifted previous to Mr. Burke's Bill, and which were put an end to by that BiU. The Itelidution As amended Was then agreed to, as were aLb the remaining Refolutions. The Committee of Stipply and Ways and MOAN were deferred till afonday. Ailourricd at a coal ter pal five.
