It was not to its principle he objerted, but to the time at which it was brought forward.

Earl ROSLYN (hewed that the volunteer ferviee could not at all be affeAed by the prefent meafure, which was not a fubnitute for, but an addition to the volunteer fynem. He took a view of the different immu. aides, fuch as exemption from ballot for the Militia.

He adverted to what bad fallen from the Learned Lord (Eldon) as to the Volunteers being the Cavioure of the Connitn• tint; and milled it could sot even be inanuatei that fuck an idea was at all well founded in the prtfent awe of the country. Lord ELDON, in explanation, declared, that he had never either infinnated or dreamt of filch a thing. He had amply alluded to the Volunteers at the time of their formation, and bad attributed to them, he was convinced cortertly, that this country had cf. aped thofe deltruttive and defolaiing pi inciples by which the liberties of the relt of Europe had been overturned.

Mr. WHITBREAD role, purfuant to tha notice which he bad given on a former occafion. not with a view, in the prefect nate of the Houfe, and at this late period of the ferias, to move for leave to bring in a Bill for the better regulation of the Tteafuretfhip of the Navy. but for the porpofe of moving that early in the next Sefton, the Houle fhould take into con& deration the Aft of the ssth of the King, entitled, " An MI for the better Regulation of the Office of Tredurer of the Navy." Every Member who now heard him, he apprehended, had read with attention the Report made by the Committee appointed to ex amine the Journals of the Houle of Lords. relative to thelate impeachment, and if they had read it, be crafted that they mull have felt deeply intereßed in the matters that appeared there. He trotted that they had taken it into their moft feiious confideratioa, that according to what appeared in thous Journals, 1 eleven of the Judges of England had given it se', their opinion, that the law gave no hold ro the pub. sic on its officers ' • that without violation of t he law n! fuch o ffi cers migh t make use of the public money for their own priv..te purpofes, if they pleated, and on proof being had of fuch application, that the of f icers were not punifhable by information or indiement. If that opinion was called for, and if the majority of the Peers, upon the opinions of the Judges delivered to the above effeft, had pronounced the acquittal in the late impeachment, then it was high time that this lhould be declared to be law, if it was law ; or that, if it was not law, it (hould be declared, that it fhould not become fo in future. He regretted that at this late period of the feffion, he could not propofe with propriety to bring in a Bill on this fubjelt, but he hoped that early in the next feMon this would be done. As to the Al of the arch of the King, it did now appear, from the opinions of the eleven Judges, that the pnblic had, from the moment it was paired up to the prefent time, been tinder a moll grofs &lo tion with refpat to Its procifions, and that large rums of the public money, as had lately happened, up to the extent of ico,oool. might be drawn from the Bank, and depolited in any place whatever, by the Treater, Ind that net 101 l be, bat one deptitedbg bins..neiOt thus dicta. of the mituel, and lodge in any plate, even beyoul the coeqsul df the Tree- Curer ; he found not Any that the ' alligoed balances might be difpofed of is this 11111111116 but moo when another objet was in view, and when it appeared that that motive of the Treallorer tithe Navy, or his Deputy. was to snake ore of die public money fur their own profit and advantage, we Rill found from tbefc decifiuns, that (itch practices were ol oin it bie sa- Me by law, and that the parties were not 'on information or indictment. He will's' ra dr w e a t could, even in this fasts, have brought a Bill for the Regulation of the office of Treat of the Nev., and the greater fe e u rit v of th lie. As that, however, could not conveniently be done, he trolled that early in the next feffion his Right Hon. Friend near him (Mr. Sheridan) would introduce loch a Bill, or if he did not, be hienfelf would do it; and be fincerely hoped that his Right Honoured. Friend would focceed better in a eseafure for the regulation of his own office than his Noble Predeceffor had done ( &an Isar, hear!). The great difficulty he thould feel, he protefied, would be to find words more firms than thous which had been i employed in the A& of the as& He hoped. how.-, vet, th at his Right Honolusbie Friend'would snake the words Co thong and fo clear, the fads Co perfpi• coons and defined, and the enaernent fo plata and obvious, that it would be impoffible that the prowl. hoes ef his Bill could be mikonceived, or militates. lb vsedeft flawing that this Houfe do, early. tlittlioment=telOalrat into confideration the A& of tbe asta of OOP. lriL Chap. 3 5, relative to the revs. lotion of the Glee of Treafurer of the Navy. On the fuggeßion of the Speaker, he alto moved that the Report of the Committee appointed to infpett the Lords journals fisould be entered as read. I Mr. LEICESTER role, not with any intention to (Nett to the motion of the Hon. Gentl eman, but becaufe Come things which be laid appeared to him Co I extraordinary. that be could not pats them over without Come obfervations. He teemed to have fop pored that the Learned Judges bad determined that embezzling the public money was no offence sable by law. The Judges had determined no foch thing. [Here Mr. WHITBREAD , by permiffion of the Houle rofe, and read the following citrate from the Journals of the Lords :-- Whether It was lawful for the Treater& of the Navy. bereft tbc paling of the Aft of at Glow e. 3t, aad eases efyis. eienf when, bra td, wanrant frau his Massy his Nary es hub True. as fora af was suipwriwil bike ke i fees, and other prelk. asdi owehrooo. 0 *Of say 12 2 =l,Wayoulial to Itim for Navy Swill... ea orry odoir er, pelt& or private, without sap& asittiodty it doing 1 sad whether tech application by Thane wadi have kern a astittamestr, or pentad& by latermattes or in. diEtasoott The Lord Chief Jußice of the Court of COllOllO, Pleas delivered the unanimous opinion of the Judges upon the (aid Qneßion That it was not tin awrtit for the Treat of the Ifiloy,,= . itis wet at ss George 111. c. 31, although alter the Wolieno In the yeallioo, to apply any Cum of mosey hoprelbal Wavy 'mom. to other mks pablk or private, without thorny for fo doing, foes to mufti= s a soltdesocasstalli by Information or Indlttmeat and gave his reafons.) Mr. LEICESTER In continuatioo, obferved, the" be was perfectly aware of that; but then that weasel embezzlement. The opinion only went fo far as to fay, that a temporary tire of the public money by io dividuals in office, was not an offence cognizable by law ; and every one knew, who was at all acquainted with the courfe of bufinefs for theft lag 3o years, that this had never been confideredpis a public offence.-- Where was the differeoce between the cafe of the IoIC Lord Holland and fuch individuals ? The Honoura ble Gentleman had Paid. that the Judges had gireo It as their opinion, that money might by law be drawn from the Bank, and depofited elfewhere, for private purpofes. They had laid no (Itch thing. They had only Paid, that it was not illegal to draw money from the Bank, Molt& for naval fervice. Whether after , wards the trult mould be abofed was a quite different thing, and one which they confidered themfelvea as having nothing to do with. The Gentlemen on the other fide. therefore, feemed to have milconceived them, and to blend the liberty of taking out the mo. ney with the emoluments made by Trotter. Mr. WHITBREAD denied, that he had ufed die word embezzlement in his Ratement, or had implied that the money was not replaced ; but he contended, that Come new regulation was abfolutely aeceffory • or the prefeot Treafurer of the Navy would be at B. betty (he knew, however. that he would not ufe that liberty) of allowing Mr. Scott, his Paymaßer, to fae• culate with the public balances for his own privets advantage. Mr. K. DUNDAS raid, it was not fair in the Ho nourable Member to prefume that their Lordlhips determined upon this decifion of the Judges. Lord Melville never did admit, that it was with his know ledge or privity that the money had been drawn free the Bank for the purpnfe‘ of private emolument. Mr. SHERIDAN conceived, that it was clearly I contrary both to the fpirit and the meaning of the At, that the Paymafter fhould draw for thole balan ces, and lodge them at his private Banker's. He did set fee that it was neceffary for a tingle guinea of thole balances to be in the hands of the Paymaller, and be fhould confider it criminal in his Pay mailer to a& in a fimilar manner, whatever might be the COD. Ibs/lion of the esilling law. Mr. PERCIVAL threw out for the confideration of Gentlemen who propofed to bring in a Bill upon this fubjee, whether. if the arrangement were en• seed, fuch as the Right Hon. Gentleman had jut defcribed, the Sub-accountants might not be open to the fame objeelions which were applied to the Pay. mailer ? that is, whether thole Sub•accountantt might not be open to a fimilar abufc of the public money ? Mr. WHITBREAD thought fuch a confequence improbable. It was to be recollefted that the Sub accountants on the trial refuted to withdraw the public money from the Bank at the particular in. Rance of Trotter, and by no means in courequence of their own with, for it appeared that inconvenien cies refulted to them from the transfer. Mr. SHERIDAN could not admit that the cafe, with regard to the Sub-accountants could ever be fubjet to the fame objeftions as thofe which applied to the Paymafter. It was obvious that they could quitenot be Co t othe pra ai abi c am e extent. fo to walc id h t he n s e u e b d h a , cc e o t i ihnotuas— gnht it to to ettablifh 3 check between the Bank Diredors - - and the Navy Pay Office, as to dete& any drawing of money not needier,' for, and immediately applied to s Naval purpofe ; and, fhou)d fuch a thing appeas on the put of any Sub-accountant, he bad no be&a tion in raying that he fhould feel it his duty on the inAant to difmifs him. Mr. PERCIVAL explained. Mr. FULLER, adverting to a notice of a motion which he had given Come time finee, relative to the expecte% incurred by Lord Melville during his late trial, Bated, that in confequence of the declara tion of the Noble Lord's fan, that no delay having occurred in preparing for the trial, or in its fubfequent conduttoso more expenfe had occurred to the Noble Lord than if the trial had taken place in the chamber of Parliament, he was induced to wave his intended motion. VORTIIIIII measles. Mr. R. DUNDAS alked whether it was the inten tion of the Noble Lewd= the Magary Bench to bring forward the propofition refpeeing the Northern Me ries which he bad mentioned in the early part of the Seffions Lord TEMPLE anfwered, that the mature re ferred to required more confideration than be bad been yet able twgive it. and therefore he did not mean to bring it forward in the court* of the prefent Seffions. Mr. HUSKISSON yielding to the preffure of the important bufinefs which flood for this evening, pod , polled till Monday, his propofed Refolutions upon theitthjerit of Finance. snowmen atsowaaces TO TNT TOTAL TANILT. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQLJEE. moved. that the Bill be now read a fecund time. • Colonel WOOD profeffed the highed rdpea for the Noble Lord, and a fincere belief that he withed as much as poffible to economise the refources of the country. —aAt a time of fuel% great preffure as the preterit, he thought that if there Royal Perfonages had really faired a little like other people from the deareefa of the times, it would have been better for them to have fribmitted to it, than to let this claim be brought for ward in their names. Indeed of this perpetual inerede of expenfe, he thought retrenchments ought to have been made. There were Tome of the Princes whore incomes were inferior to the reR. The Dukes of CIA• rence and Suffer might perhaps complain with radon of their incomes bane limited, but the raft of the Princes bad confiderablt emoluments from their regi ments and military commands. This, be confiderede ought to be taken into the account. Mr. W. SMITH confidered that his Royal High. nets the Duke of York was quite right in not claiming any addition to his allowance, and that the other emoluments which the younger branches of the Royal Family polfeffed ought to have been taken into the account. The great Lord Bacon had Paid that po verty was often Usourable s he &mild confider that at the prim times, when the nation was fo prcffed with debt and taxes, it would be the highelt honour fee Princes to prat& a certain abdinenee, isdead of demanding all that their rank might teem to require. Mr. ROSE thought the increale that was propofed to the allowances of the younger breaches of the Royal Family was very reafonabk, and much Ids than was barely neceffary to meet the depreciation of money fince chore snowmen, were fixed. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ob (erred, that fince 1778, when there allowances were fixed, there was no public officer whole falary had aot been increafed. (holier the rime principle Arnold be extended to twit perages whofe rank and fplendour were fo early councils.' with that of the nation. An Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Smith) bad quoted a paffage from Lord Bacon, about poverty being honourable in many fituations. He mud fay, that in the cafe then before the Houfe, whether po verty would or would not be honourable to the indi vidual, it certainly would not be honourable to the State to fuffer thofe to be poor in whore grofperity and fplendour they were Co much interede . As to his Royal Highnefs the Dube of Yorh, his cafe wits very different from that of the reft of the younger Princes.—By the liniment made upon bins by the ' nation at his marriage, he had 56,0001. per annum from the public, exclufive of his military media- . ments. Sucks an income made a very wide didinflion between him and his younger brothers. The Bill was then read a fecond time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. tosoaresits. Sir HENRY Mti. i DMAY rofe, purfuant to no tice, and after pronouncing a panegyric upon the Volunteers, whole feelings were offended, whole zeal was damped, and whore jealoufy was excited by the language and fuppofed intentions of his Majefty's Minifters, called upon the Hoare to remove the irn preffion which prevailed among this numerous nd delaying body, by agreein to the Motion which he felt it his duty to bring for ward. To the objed of loch a motion he Lad no doubt of meeting the fupport of a Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Sheridan) whom he was glad to fee in his place, and whore fps rit, patriotifm, and zealous attachment to the Vo lunteers were univerfally known and gratefully felt. The Honourable Baronet concluded with moving as follows—l , That this Houle does highly approve tnd gratefully acknowledge the meritorious reprices fo eminently difplayed by the Volunteer Corps, and that it does think it neceffary to record its decided opinion. that the due encouragement of the zeal and patrio tifm of there corps is effential to their difcipline and the maintenance of this edablithment." Mr. DENT feconded the motion. He perhaps might hear the previous quedion moved upon his Honourable Friend's motion, but be did not believe Minillers dare move it. Sir R. MILBANK was of opinion the Volunteers. upon all occafions, would come forward in defence of their Country, Conflitution, and King. With re fpeti to the mode of defence, if Minilters thought any other better. he was for placing confidence eft their abilities and integrity. General PHIPPS, who had been an Infpeaing Field Officer, fpoke drongly in favour of the officering .of the Volunteers is general, and particularly thole of London. Mr. WINDHAM vindicated his opinions upon this fubjee, which were precifely the fame at prelent as they were on any former occafion ; and he was perfuaded they were fuch as could never operate to deprefs the fpirit of the Volunteers, if faitly repro. rented. But mifreprefentation had been aftive refped ing his fentiments upon this queftion. Some perfun had dealt with his fpeculations precifely in the way it a It.
