A paragraph has appeared in lime of the Papers, Rating that Jom soon, the fmnggler, was outlawed on Monday, for not making his appearance under a tommiffinn of Bankruptcy. We think there midi be tome millake i this. If we are rightly informed, he was proclaimed July Bth, at which time, by dire-aim of his fuperiors, he was in Rochelle Harbour. and it is undertiond that he will farrender and be examined as loon as his duty will permit him. About twelve o'clock, on Monday night, a toot alarming and tremendous fire broke out in the brewery of Meffre. W. Boer and Ca. of Newcaalc. which has alone very confiderable damage to that extenfive concern. Upwards of Imo bulbela of malt, betides hops, rec. have been dellroyed and • great part of the buildings reduced to ruins. Happily, by the exertions of the inhabitants, the large Ruck of ale and other liquors was fared ; and the buildings sod Rock, we are glad to fay, are infured to an amount which will nearly cover the whole. We are very forry to Rate that Mr. BAN tire ii, of Drury lane Theatre, has met with a very ferious ac. cidcnt. Whillt out Shooting nn Wednefday with a friend in the neighbourhood of Southall. a few miles from town, his gun Surfi, by which accident hi s h an d was dreadfully lacerated, three of his fingers were torn off, and the thumb much wounded. Surgical ann. since was immediately procured, and about 5 o'clock in the afternoon be was conveyed to his hoof, in Gower.flreet, where a furgeon was called in. It was at firli feared that amputation at the wrin would be necelTary, but hopes are Since entertained that fueh an operation may be avoided. The fowling piece ufed on this accation by Mr. BANWISTIII belonged to the late Mr. Into, the Comedian. Mr. Minium" had exchanged it in the courfe of the morning fer one ufed by hi. friend, but not liking the latter he re-1 quelled to have his own returned, and on the fecund fire afterwards the accident above gated happened. MILIT4Rr istp.wr. SICOND REPORT OF Tl4l COMMISSIONERS OF ' MILITARY INQUIRY. ISNNINT OF TNa RRRRR Clt OFFICa. F..llowing the order of Inquiry propofed in one 6ra Report on the Barrack Department, we proceed to report on the ERablithment of the Barrack Office; the mode of procuring and of Wiring Barrack limes and fupplies, will form the (Ojai of our Third Re port, which is very nearly completed. With Mix& to the building branch, it has already employed a very confideralile portion of our time, and we had made fuch pr refs in our inquiries, that we were in expectation of having had our Report on it in equal forwardnefs with the prefent $ but our attention has been recently drawn to feveral circumnances of Cu& kient importance to lead as to a much more minute examination of revere' particulars in the mode of ex• muting this part of the pity of the office, than we had at 6ra conceived necelrary. The confequence has been, that we do not feel ourfelves prepared, at prefent, to fubmit our obfervations on this branch to the Legillaturs $ but we troll, that it will hereafter appear, that our time has no been employed on us important °Nees. Havinc, in our Firß Report, given a brief hillory of the origin of the Barrack Department, we Mall commence with a (hutment of the eftablithment, as reported by the Seletl Committee on Finance, in 1797, recapitulate the heads of their report, of the ex pencesin falsities, extra allowances, and contingencies at that period, and th e n R a r e w h a t were the eflablills meat and office expences exifling in June, 1805, a few months after Li e ut enant G enera l De Lance, had retired from the charge of conduaing the barrack concerns, and when the eflablifhinent had undergone little if any change. NUMMI / DIJTIIII — , AND seemeiss, OF rill OFFICUS OF Tilt &&&&& CIL DA & CAT. The eflabliflunent of the Barrack Office, in 1796, as reported by the Selea Committee of the Houk of Commons on Finance, confiag 1, exclufive of refident Bernick Mailers, and other Inferior Wharfs of " a Barrack Mager General, with two clerks under him; one Depu Barrack Mallet General ; Afflflant Barrack Mailer General, for (applies, with three clerks ; one Accountant ' with fi ve clerks ; one Af•l 6Rent Barrack Mallet General, for infpeetion of Barracks ; and fix other Afflnant Barrack Mailers General, for fuperintending and infpeaing barracks in different diarlas : there were alto five clerks for the general bulinefit of the office : for the building branch, one Afflflant Barrack Mailer General, one checking clerk, and (even other clerks ; two archi. teas and fnrveyors ; two allinant ditto, and two clerks; four krvants in the office; one A.fillant Barrack Mater General is North Britain, with two atfifiants and two clerks; one agent (or treaftrrer) for the general &roles ; and three other Affillant Bar rack Mailers General, to adrift in general duties, and in vifiting and infpeaing barracks occalionally."— And the (Aeries and extra pay of auk different offi cers, for the year 1796, amounted, as (fated in their Report, to 952 1 t1. 575. ad. This ellabli ment was ennfulered by that Com mittee to Rand on a very large and estenfive kale; but It has fence that pc:in& been confidesably in created, both in the number of its officers, and in the amount of their falaries, efpeci a lly t o a:oft who hold the hither filtration, in the department, as will appear from the fubfequent Ilaternentv. In June t RoSt the eflablifhment confined as follows; one Barrack Mailer General, one Deputy Barrack Mailer Gene ral, four principal Militant Barrack Meters Gene ral, including one for North Britain ; 6fleen AlER ant Barrack Mailers General for different dinrias (including one at Gibraltar, and one vacancy) and one tetra affilant ; one infpeetor of Bores, one ac countant,lone ;anent accountant, and four clerks in the Accountant's Department ; ten clerks in thegene. ral office (including one vacancy), one infpeaor of re turns, nine clerks fur returns of fore., Sec. (includ• ing one vacancy) , one clerk for the care of deeds, funeraels, &c.; two architeas and furveyors, two at- Slant Purveyors , including one for North Britain, one checking clerk, thirteen clerks in the building department (including two vacancies) one principal clerk, and five clerks in the office at Edinburgh, one law clerk, one office keeper, one neceffary woman, and five mangers and porters, whofe fabrics (in cluding thole of five vacancies, Rated at four hun dred and feventy-feveo pounds) amounted to lives. teen thoufand two hundred and forty (even pounds, eighteen (billings. In the quarterly book of March, 806, from which an annual account has been made I out , and is hereafter inhaled, the falaries are fated to be at int rate of nineteen thonfancl three hundred and twenty nine pounds four fkillings and ten-pence per annum; the latter increafe is occationed, partly by the augmentation of falary to tome of the junior clerks, and partly by the necellity of forming a dif tina department, confining of an accountant and three clerks, for the tole objet of arranging the late Barrack Mailer General's official accounts. The contingent expences of the Bat-rick Office have ;smeared in fimilar proportion with the (Aeries. For the year ending December, 1796, there amounted, as appeers by the Report of the &lea Committee, to (even hundred and ninety pnunda five 'billings and eleven pence, and the travelling allowspets and es pence., for the (Arne period, to two thoofand (even hundred and forty pounds five Wiling' and eleven pence. But, for the year ending December, r 800, the contingent expences are R a t e d at three thonfand and fir pounds thirteen (Wings and twopence, ex clufive of one hundred pounds extra pay to the law clerk, and one hundred and five pounds twelve (Ml lings to the clerks for extra work ; and travelling al lowances and expences, for the fame period, at three thoufend and eighty eight pounds thirteen thillings and two pence ; and it as to be remarked, that in the flatespent of 5796, the rum of two thoufand fever) hundred and kitty pounds five Chilling, and eleven pence, includes the travelling expences and contin gencies of the Barrack Maßer General, but that the flatement for tBo.e. is exclufive of both, a circum• Rance which we mall have occafien to apti oe again, in a flibkquent part of this Report. For the year ending December, 1 Bop the firß entire year of th• prefent Barrack Mailer General's adminißration of the b k concerns, the expences contingent, as well as thofe arcing from travelling allowances and expences, are Rated to be four thouland fix hundred and fixty•two pounds nine !billings and fixpence, a Cum barely three-fourths of the expenditure of the preceding year, notwithAanding that the ex pence. of the Barrack Mailer General arc included in vie accounts. Althnitgh the cnntingent expenoes of the Barrack Office, for 1804., are Rated to be three thoufand and tic pounds thiriee2 IhiWogs and two pence, we ap prehend this is not a co:street Ratement of their amount. and for the following reafons : in the ac count of the merit' receipt and expenditure of the department annexed to our Firlt kiport, is an item of charge for contingencies. confuting of office enable liffiment, travelling expences. kc. amounting in the total to 256,1491. to.. 4cl. io elucidation of which, an account was, at our respite, ferniffied by the B snack Mallet General, detailing the particular amount of the (event !scads of charge for each year. an abllrafit of which still be found is our Appendix (No. g.)— We had before called for a (ewes account 14 the contingent ezpeoces of the Barrack Office for the Ic. veral years fucceeding 1796, in conformity with that furnifbed to the Select Commitree on Finance, and were furprized, on collecting the items into one ah. Arad, (fee Appendix, No. a.) t And that the fame heads of charge, produced, in the UFO abltrafts, 'ern different refill(' ; the expences "(coals and candles. for intiance, are wholly omitted for feveral years in Or. Ara abftrad, end the charge for furniture and re pairs varies much in each o f them. This dive.fity n appears to arife from the incomplete Rate of the Bar. reek Office books. and the castle is explained by the late Affidant Accountant. From his examination, we l earn , ;hat, fo r the fatisfaetion of the late Barrack Mailer General, and to obviate the great inconve nience toiling from the imperfect Rate of the books the Affillant accountant had for feveral years pall made nut an annual flatement of the application of all monies acted to the Barrack Mailer General, at. ranging the payments in fume inflames, under the head of the fervice for which they were made, and charging them, in other inflances, to an account with the party to whom the money was Hilted ; from the books in which theft annual Aatements of the Affißact Accountant were kept, the general accounts of ex penditure, as anneded to our Fit ft Report were, wit are informed, extraded ; and as the balances in each year remaining unexpended by the &sternest, agreed, as is Rated, with the balance in the hands of the Theurer at the refpettive periods. ?bele books mutt noceffarily account for the expenditure of all the money in a general way ; but that they may not ea hibit a corted Aatement of the perpofes to which money has been applied, the following obStevations will (efficiently thew : We have before Mated, that no charge appears in the account of contingencies. he. as ertrafted from thefe books, for coals and candles for the office, although in the other account of contingent ezpences of the Barrack Office, the amount is confiderable. The fad is, that coals and candles ware fupplied to the Office by the Agent for Supplies, in the fame manner as to a Barrack, and the amount iscluded.in his general account t in the account of contingencies, therefore, as weeded from the bo , ks we have mentioned, too charge of this Cott appears, bemire the fervice was not fp ec ifi ca lly paid fnr, but is included under the bead of bedding, fur niture, coals, and candles, he. and the fame bet pi. fibly applies to furniture and repairs. if performed by perfons having other concerns with the Barrack Ds partment. The account of the contingent espences of the Barrack Office was intended to remedy th-lt omillions, by colleting fr3m the different accounts of the tradefmen and others, larch items as might be confidered contingent espences of the Office. We have no radon to fufped any intentional incorrednefs in this account, but the mode of its formation ren ders it liable to error. We have noticed there circumilances in Come de tail, tucarde, though the fatal on which oar °brava lions have asifen are of thensfelves of (mall Import. ante, yet the examination of them, as far as it has gone, leads directly to the cmsclufion s that other er rors of Rill greater importance may calf! in the gene.ral account of the expenditure of the Barrack De partment, as inferted in our firlt Report, fo far as relates to the claltfication of expence. Other items of the general accounts above allode4 to, and alto of the abltraaed accounts, awaiting our attention, we deemed it proper to have them ex plained. There were certain funs credited made: the head of balances, over.paymenu, oatmeal fold, and oats fupplied in North Britain, 41te. and other rums debited under the beads of mifeellaneons, Itationary, furniture, kg. It would be difficult to exhibit an abtlraa of there fnms; and, as Ilse explanations given by the Barrack Office thew the nature of them, we mull refer to the examination of the accountant on this fubjea for the particulars. One of the items of the general account is for lodging money to officers, amounting to the lag year to twenty-five tboufand pounds. It is Rated to us, that there is no written document direaing the Bar rack Office to pay this allowance, and the prcfent Barrack Mager General is very anxious to be relieved from making theft payments. He obferves, that part of this expeuce is for the lodging of Volunteer Offi• cm on permsnept duty. We think with him, that this part of the payment Mould be feparated from that paid to regulars and militia, and charged to the account of the Volunt penditure I the remainder of theft payments, cunfidering the nature of the fen. vice for which they are made, cannot, we think, fo properly appear in the accounts of any other nice as in thofe under the direltion of the Barrack Mallet General. We (hall now defcribe the duties of the leveret officers in the department, in which divifion c.l our Report, to avoid prolixity, we mean to confine our. (elves to a general outline of the duty of the princi pal officers, referring for a more particular detail, to , the different Itatements and examinations, which will be found in the Appendix.—(To k "mimed ) DitURY-LANS TII t —The Comedy of the WO 44m, the Donee of the Fair Cinema, and the Fatah of the Virgin Urietafirel, went off lad night whit great rdat ; but nAhing new prefeuted itfclf for critical obi let vat The capture of BueT Ayres has turned out $ mod honourable and fitable ipe.utati,,o to oat brave Soldiers and Satin .
