CUISMITTIIS OF SUPPLY. The Report of the Committee of Supply being brought up, Lord GARLIES role, not (he Paid) to give any onneceffary trouble, but, as the Noble Lord had ex preffed his inclination to hear with pleafure and re ceive with attention any fuggellions which might be offered, to propofe two amendments, the one of which he had himfelf already alluded to, and the other of which proceeded rather from what had fallen from the Noble Lord. The firft of there amendments re• garded an addition to the pay of Firft Lieutenants of (hips of the line, including fifties, who at prefent, and by the rate introduced by the Noble Lord, were to Rand on no better a footing than the other Lieu tenants. This addition, he propofed, (bould only go to thofe Lieutenants who had a feniority of fix years ; 1 and the rate he (hould propofe above the allowance to other Lieutenants was is. per day, being an ex pence to Government of not more than five or fix pounds per day. The praftice, he Rated, during the naval aciminiftration of a Noble Lord, whore careful attention to the interefts of the navy was univerfally admitted (Earl Spender) had been to employ as lirft Lieutenants only Inch officers as had a feniority of fix years. While he was at the Navy Board, he had carefully attended to this diajnßion, which he knew to be highly gratifying to the feelings of the officers. The other point to which he wifbed to call the atten tion of the Noble Lord, was that of the Petty Officers. The Noble Lord had Rated it to be his wills, not to confine this clefs of perfons to their prefent number. If increared, however, in the way in which they at prefent exifted, he was afraid Come inconvenience might refult. He fbould therefore recommend, that a new clefs be introduced among the petty officers, under the defcription of Q . 2arter Gunners. Thefe men formed the pr ime Britith failors of the navy, and he !book( propofe that one be appointed to every fourth gun, being to a Chip of too guns an ad dition of 25 men of this defcription. There was lull another fultjeft to which he begged to call the alien. tinn of the Houfe. This was, as a fufficient encou ragement, in many inliances, had norbeen held out to petty officers, that the out penfion of Greenwich fhould be granted to their widows, mothers, or or phans, in cafes where they fhould chance to be wound ed, or lore their lives in the fervice of their country. After Rating that he was ailuated by no party feel. ing of oppofitioa in proptifing the prefent amend ments, but that on the contrary he had formerly fob mitted his fentiments on the fubjzft to the confidera tion of the Fri Lord of the Admiralty, his Lordthip concluded by moving his lira amendment. The SPEAKER fuggefled to the Noble Lord, that this could be only effelled by moving a ref - Motion, fpecifpng the was rum which it was wi(hed fhould go to effect the ohjel of the motion, to be put at the command of his Majeßy. Lord HOWICK, after thanking the Noble Lord for the pains he had taken in the bufiners, begged to doubt the neceffity or even propriety of the amend ments fuggelted by him. He had never yet heard that any greater refponlibility attached to Fitft Lieu tenants of a line of battle (hip than to thole of a fri. gate. In many inaances, he was certain the labour was infinitely lets. Neither did he underfiand that Firti Lieutenants formed a fep.trate and diflinft dal.; fu lefs that fix years feniority was necefrary to pen. c.oe them fisch a lituation. If the hit requifite were proper, he thought it amuld be at once declared that none elle could be Firil Lieutenants. It was well kamn, to-, that, from convenience to the fervice, from the will of the Admiral, etc. a perfon who was Firtt Lieutenant of a !hip to-day might be Second Lieutenant of her to morrow. S.) ir, this way the dif- I by the Nobie Lord ld wolf.—beof prejudice. Th.it, however, FUR Lieutenants had great achiant.yes over other Lieutenants. was to be feen in the facility Of acquiring rank. For in the battle of Trat.oo.lr, and in that lately gained by Sir J. Duckworth, every Fir It Lieutenant had beer. promoted to the rank of Muter and commander.— As to the fecond propotal of the Noble Lord, relpec ting i - ,2arter Guns v, the 1 - :.d)/e Lord had mifun derar.od his meaning as to the number of petty al). cers which he propofed adding. His ohjeit only was to make the number on an a ge ten to each (hip, b e i ng t o the larger Iltips, probably fifteen, and to the (mailer in proportion. The eltimates he had moved for, would in no refpea admit of the addition pro. poled by the Noble Lord. The Itefolutions paned in the Committee, were then put and agreed to. FOR tICK STrekintDtill. Mr. CAR R. after a few I . t elitninat v f..trtelts. ttion on the ',office cf all perfons being obliyt,l tti pa , for the protellion which their propt—ty received, Onots ed. " That an ace unit be laid before the Honfe of all exemption' granted to Fireigrcts; whit Tette* to the Duty on the Dividends r 1 ,It•ick, in the Fends of the United Kingdoms', er of EJlt India or Smith Iles Stock, in the year tlfoti" The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQSER did not oppnfe the prtiduflion of the Paper, but thought It would be unfair t , i lay a tax on thofe who were not reprefented in that 14oure, and that it would be equally contrary to the rules of found pm licy. Mr. ROSE was again the ;41: operating on the property of foreigner. t not fo inocvthat he thluglit they were entitled to this privilege o f exemption, bi.t becaufe he thought it would occafi-n many of th=at to withdraw their property from our funds,' and lo.ige it el fewbere. Mr. FRANCIS could fee no danger of the t farts nor did he know any other country in which they could lodge their money with equal fecurity. He thought, that upon every principle of juffice, th property of foreigners ought to contribute to the ex pence of its proteftion. Betides, this diflinetion would impofe an additional difficulty in the colleeion of the tax, as it would not be cal) , to afcertain what pan really belonged to foreigners. After font; further convers a tion the account was ordered. TN, WiLLESLIT. Mr. PAULI, moved, that the Articles of Ins. peadiment which he had prefented again( the Mar quis, be now read. The Motion was put, and nega tived ahnoft sinanirnoully. Mr. PAULL complained of the treatment he had met with from the Houle on a former night, and he thought the time would come when they would be lorry for it. Some thought it a ferious charge to make againft him, to fay, that he had come into that Houfe for the purpore of &ceding Lord Welk-Rey.— He did not know white they obtained this informa -1 Lion; but if it had been true, and that d efter the means of judging of the Marquis Wellefley's eon duel, which a refidence of thirteen years in India gave him, he thought it his duty to accufe him, he thought it would rather be met itorious to come for. ward as his accufer. Much had been raid of his imprudence, but it appeared to him, that the rela tives of the Noble Marquis had bien at leaß as im prudent. He thought the Honourable General (Sir A. Wellefley) did not much confult - his pru dence, when he (poke fo warmly in defence of thole meafures, in which it was known that he was himfelf mot deeply implicated, one of the charges being for his illegal appointment at Oude. It had before been Rated in the Houle, that every Rep of the Mahratta I war WAS a ground of impeachment. Twenty-nine Direftors had already, by their declared opinions, ftigmatized the conduet of Lord Wellefley. It had been Paid to him emphatically, that he brought this accufation " at his peril." This was a language which he had never heard applied to the *milers of Lord Melville, nor did be believe it was ever ad- • drefed to the Right Honourable Secretary of State (Mr. Fox), when he *ceded Mr. Hafting'. He had fuch an opinion of the guilt of the Marquis Weller lacy, that were he to take (hater in the bofom of the Prime Minißer of England, be did not think that welter would he fufficleat to proteit him from thefe accufations. Although the Houfe had, nn a former night, refcinded the vote for printing the charge, yet that had been the courfe in all the former precedents in impeachment cafes, in the cafes .of the impeach ment of Lord Arundel, the Earl of Canby, Lord Koningflzy, and recently, in the cafe of Sir Elijah Impey—(The Clerk then read from the Journals, at his request, the order for printing the charge in Sir Elijah Impey's cafe), There was no cafe in which he conceived the notoriety of the fats warranted the publication more than the prefent. The atrocities at Madras, the Mahratta war, the Rate of the finances when he came to India and' when he left it, were all matters of notoriety. He thought it would have been better if initead of taking advantage of an error l in point of form, Gentlemen had fet him right on a I former occafion. He, however, now held in his hand fome of the papers which had been moved for, and which were the proofs of the charges he had brought forward. He had charged him with the illegal application and wage of the public treafure, and, he was now prepared to prove it. He had be fore Rated the increafe of the Company's debt dur ing his adminittration, and had undertaken to prove that it did not proceed from war, but from his pro. fufe and illegal expenditure of the revenues, and his wale of the finances. He then took a very ample view of the lituation of the finances of India, at the time that the Marquis fucceeded to the Government of India, and at the time when he quitted the On• I vernment, and concluded a fpeech of confiderable length, in which he recapitulated his charges again( Marquis Wellefley, with obferving, that the papers now before the Houle, furniftted proofs to fubltanti ate thole charges in a great part, if not in all ; and he was ready to move for othrrs to futlain the re• mainder. He would call upon Hon. Gentlemen on both fides of the Houle, who knew. the bet, to lay, whether there were not bani. which would become due from the Company in India, in the robing year, to the amount of five millions, for which orovifion mull be made, if poffible; but which it was more than probable mutt he added as a permanent increafe Ito the already enormous debt of thirty one millions ' The charges he brought forward, he laid, were net ' bier novel nor unccaillitutional in their principle and having laid them on the table, be was warrant ed from Parliamentary afare to fay, he had a right to claim and demand of the Houle the objet of his prefent motion, which was, " That the Paid charges, laid before the Houle on the 24th ingant, he printed for the nfe of its Members." 1)1. LAW RENCE raid, that whatever might have been heretofore his opinion touching the propriety of printing the charges, before all the evidence in cup. po r t nt them was laid on the table, from what he had heard this night from the Honourable Gentlemen whin had juh fat down, he mutt fecond his motion, and lupport hini, if he perfilted in it. At the tame time he begged leave to fuhmit to his own difcretion whether it might hot better anfwer his porpofe, and recite lefs nppolitinn, if he were to pnllpone bis too. non for a few days, until the whole of the paper en lisppott of the charges mould be laid oa the table. 1 I
