ard from that department. The teefonsaliGgned the fitbfequent alretarion, are; that An uniformity • ight pervade the public Boards from which bills of fintilar defcription are ;fried ; o time arrived at the cnclufion of the late ayar, that many contraCts were put up, utd many more were intended to be fir, it was thought a good opportunity for making an alteration in the mode of paying the interell on Navy Bills, which could not, without imputation of departiey from an univerfally under lined cutlom, be alive(' whillt the contraas were pending. It is likewise intimated to be immaterial whether the Bills were paid one day limner or later, the fum paid for dm intriea being the fame in one cafe as the other. We !hall now make tome remarks nn the above proceedings of the Navy Board, and afterwards ob— • terve on the ',ills drawn by the- Commiffioners of 'l'ranfports. Altiintip the Navy Board might have been unin , firmed of th• general pradice of compnting the dif co:ii:t on bills of exchange, and the mode of calcu lating intereil on Exchequer bills, yet, when theVic 'nailing Board fo Ilrongry pointed out to them, that they were in error, and that error injurious to the public, we think they (hould have inßituted an en quiry. HO they done fo, they muR have come to the fame conclufion then which they did afterwards, and on the fame grounds ; for the method of com puting iniereft on Exchequer bills was the fame in 1797 as in aot; and the pradice of the Vidualling Board they were before fully acquainted with, and had rejeded. It is certainly the rule in the paying of wages, fa larks, &r. as obferved by the Navy Board, to include both days, but nothing is gained by this to the per fon receiving Inch payment, as his time is afterwards reckoned frvm the day next to that included in the termer account, In that in the courfc of the year he is only paid for 365 day s ; but by the Navy Board's mode of making the 90 days intereft payable on the 89th day, a peifon might obtain 369 days interell i n th e euinfe of die year —or, by following up that mode, a day's intereft might be gained every time individuals changed their fecurity, provided the money was again lent on the day of its being re ceived. The faith to he preferred with perfons whcfe con trails were pending, is a circumflance much infifted upon in the Navy Board's letter to usoand in the mi nute of the Committee of Accounts. In order to judge what influence that confideration could have had upon the ref lution of the Board at the time it was carried into execution, we called for an account, chewing what (landing contracts had determined be tween the la of October and t 9th of December, 18ot (the day on which the alteration took place), and an account of fuch as were then in force, and continued to be fo for twelve months. By the tetum made to oar precept, it mutt appear how little the confidera tion of keeping faith with the contractors could have influenced the decilion of the Navy Board, as only two contrails, of (mall confequence, had terminated within the firft-mentioned period—and one hundred and twenty-three contracts were remaining in force a pear after the change, beyond which time we thought it ureters to carry our enquiries ; and the change being ordered to take effect the day after the refolu- Lion, operated immediately upon all thefe contraas, contrary to what was alledged to be the common un derftanding of the parties. It further appeared, by the examination of the Se. cretary to the Navy Board, that although the con traaors were not confulted on the alteration, they did not (skied to or complain of it, confirming in this rcfpca what had been obferved in the letter of the Victualling Board. The Commiflioners of Tranfports, in anfwer to our application to them on the fubjea, informed us, that they had allowed intereft both for the day on which the bills were dated, and that on which they became payable, becauce the perfons to whom pay ments were made by 90 days bulls were, in fltianefs, entitled to their money upon the completion of the fervices performed ; but that an interval of fereral days almon invariably occurred whilft their accounts were under inveffigation, and the bills preparing—and be caufe, according to their conliruaion of the Jut of Parliament, they conceived it to have been intended that the bills fhould be fo paid. If the Tranfport Board thought themfelves jun fied in their practice by their conaruaion of the At, they thould not have departed from it without legal advice, or proper authority. If a compenittion, in proportion to the delay, was looked for by the con• traitors, one day's intereft was not fufficient. It would feem that this Board folloWed the courfe taken by the Navy Board, and altered their practice when they found that the Navy board had refolved upon a change. We rather think the Contraltors did not look for any anticipation of payment, as a compenfation for the lofs of time whin} their accounts were palling, fume delay in which mull necelfarily occur, and that it had not then, nor has it fince had, any weight with them in regulating the prices at which they made their tenders to Government. The following is the amount of ninety-day bills, Wised between the 26th of December 1796, and the gth of December itfot, at an intereff of threepence halfpenny per cent. per day, allowed both for the day of the date, and the day of the payment of the bills— trued by the Navy Board - Zt9,74035 tt tt Tranfport Board - 6,305 976 it f 16,633,8i2 3 6 I.ofs of one day's interelt on the above !um - 309 to a Although the iofi of between 7 and pool. per ann. adds little to the raft amount of the National Ex penditure, yet it is becaole the necelfary Expenditure is in great, that all poffible care thould be taken to avoid any improper increafe of it, fuch as we think this to have been.' To the public, one Jay's interefl on ninety, operating on fa many millions, was a con fideration ; to each individual it was not. We think it tight to ()Verve, whenever a difference of of inion may arife between the Naval Boards on the conftrudion of an Aet of Parliament, or any mitet general regulation, that fist-1i difference of opi nion Mould be laid before the Lord. Commiffioners of tl e Admiralty, for their decition thereon, AS the l.u• fning of different lines of conduEt Enna tend to pr. duce difritisfaetion, and will in general be found to be injurious to the public interen. NAVAL StRTICF.S. *MT TMPILILETED IT THt MATT •OAILD, TOIL MITT On examining the b<;nlccottaining the regillry of Bills ailed by the Naval Board, we lifciwered that confiderable fums had been advance by way of im preft, during the late war, for the performance of Secret Naval. Services. The impreft againft one of thee parties, amount ing to too,oool. having been taken off. and the ac• count doled in the books of the Navy Office in a manner which appeared to us irregular, we enquired into the circumnances"rf the tranfaaion. From the examination-of the Comptroller of the Navy, we learned that this cum bad been advanced by the Navy Board, in confequence of direCtions given by the Lords Comm;illor.ers of the Treafuty, to the Comptroller, which were marked " Moft Se cret ;" that pool. had been repaid into the hands of the Treaforer of the Navy, and that the remaining imprefl of 95,0001. had been cleared, or taken off, by the direCtion of the Lords Commiffioners of the Treafury, fignified by their Secretary's letter to the . Navy Board, dated the ill of May 184. By his Ma:Jelly's Order in Council for regulating the Navy Office ' dated the Bth of June, 1796, the Comptroller of the Navy is autitorifed to execute fuch Secret Naval Cervices as may be directed by the Firft Lord of the Admiralty for the time being ; and, after the fervices are performed, the Comptrol ler is required to communicate his orders, and his proceedings thereon, to the Navy Board for their con currence. In cafe a majority (honld difapprove of any part of his conduit, they are to fubmit the whole with the reafons for fuch difapprobation ' to the Firft Lord of the Admiralty, whole decifion thereon is to be confidered as final. Upon this Order in Council inflrneinns were drawn up by the Lords Commiffioners of the Admiralty for the conduit of the Navy Board, and they were di reeked to conform thereto by their Lordfhips order of the 17th of Auguft, 1796, in which there is an omiffion that we think it right to notice. II is not Hated in that order under whole direc tions or authority the Comptroller is to perform the Secret Services therein mentioned. The order runs thus : 66 All contratts are to he made by the Board at . " large, thofe for Secret Seriices only excepted, 66 which are to be entrufted to the Comptroller, " who is hereby authortfed to execute fuch 64 duty." Whereas, in the Order in Council, after flitting that eontrafLs of every kind are to be made by the Board at large. thofe for Secret Services excepted, which are to be entrufted to the Comptroller, it is ex pretled, " That the Secret Services above-mentioned fhould " be performed ander tbeauthority of the Fieji Lord " of the Admiralty for the time king." This million fhonld be reetified, as we are of opi• nion it is of confiderable importance that the feve. ral fubordinate Boards fhould hive precife informa tion, not only of the extent of the authority veiled in them, but of the authority under which they are to ail. The Navy Board, by their patent of appointment, are required to follow fuch orders and inftrudions as they may from time to time receive from the Lord High Admiral, or rife Commilli'sncrs for executing the office of Lord High Admiral, for , the time being; and it doe, not appear, that the.) are authorifed td follow directions which may be given to them by any other Department of Government. It is, however, Dated by the Comptroller and the Secretary, that the Board have been in the conflant pradice of re ceiving and following directions from the Lords Com. miffioners of his Majefly's Treafury, in certain cafes, which they have enumerated. It alfo appears by the account entered in the Appendix, Nn. 4, that t 6,0001. have been advanced by the Navy Board to MeiTrs. Harumerfley and Co, for the performance of a Secret Naval Service, which was directed by one of his Majefty's principal Secretaries of State. If it be jedged expedient that the Navy Board fhould fol. low the diredions of any other Department of Go. vernment than that under which they are placed ex clufively by their patent, we think they lhould be fur nilbed with fpeci6c authority to that effect, and that they should in no cafe depart from their inflruaions, without the fandion of the Lords Commiffioners of the Admiralty. It is Dated by the Comptroller, that the fervices for which the fum in queition of tochoool. was ad vanced, were not performed under his orders, but under the directions of the Lords Commiffioners of the Treafury, by whofe authority the imprclt was cleared, without any account of the expenditure of the money being rendered to the Navy Board. It is molt probable that a communication of the c;rcumllances of this tranfadion was made to the Fire Lords of the Admiralty at the time of advanc ing the firtt part of this money ; it does nor, how ever, appear, from his Lordlhip's examination, that he directed the meafure ; and the Fire Lord of the Admiralty, at the time the laft advance was made, and when the impreft was taken off, was altogether uninformed of the tranfadioo. Notwitlitianding the time which has elapfed fince the advance of the money, and the inj unctions of the Order in Council, we fi nd that the Comptroller has not communicated to the Navy Board his proceed ings in this Wines, or even made them acquainted with the nature of the fervice performed. The rea fon given by the Comptroller for this departure from his rnftruftions is, that the fervice is of fo delicate a nature, that he does not think it prudent to make the circumliance public. After this declaration we forbore to enquire into the purpofes to which this money had been applied, and, of courfe, have no evidence of the nature of the fervices performed ; yet we have reafon to believe, that they were of fuch a nature as to come within the defcription of Naval Services. There are cir comiltnces, conneaed with the public intereß, which have irrluced 115 to withhold the names of the parties to whom the money was advanced, and the nature of the fervice to which we apprehend it has been ap. ; but, as the only fecurity 'which the• public have for the propriety of the dilburfements of public money by the Comptroller of the Navy, which may be cunfidered of a fecret nature, is the ultimate in velligation of the Navy Board, to which all tranfac lions of this nature are diredted by the Order in Couccil to be (Omitted, upon the completion of the lervices, we think fo falutary a regulation ought not to be departed from. By the :acetone entered in the Append;:, No. 4, it will be feen that other fumy have been advanced by the Navy Board for the performance of fecret Naval Services ; but as there Services are not yet terminat ed, we can only recommend, that as loon as they are completed, the communication, direfled by his Majefty's Order in Council, be made to the Navy Board.
