Mr. N'ANSI I'TART remarked upon the Mfinificant amount a Cie diffsrence alluded to by the Noble Lord. and hated, that thi,dldcretce might be coniidered the nit& of the order, that no &duel ion for lets hiould be made upon the fun originally granted. Loner FOLKS RINE Paid, that to overlook rock a difference wonid be to eftablilli a precedent, tending to ittilify the Miniller in exceeditig the grant of that Hours, in applying a film of the public money beyond that which Parliament or that Moore might authorize. The Nbble Lord allu noticed fame iiieorreetnel. in calling op the accounts. %poll which this Bill was founded. Mr VANSITI'AR I' n (erred the Nubk Lord to the Journals, in which he would find a limner difference to that pf which he now complained, and that in the cafe of the illuftrious Chatham, which difference was afterward. fanetionod by the Haire. After Arai" tither remarks from Lord FOLKSTONE and Mr. V ANSIT I ART, the Refolutions were agreed to, and the Report was ordered to be bough. up to-morrow. Ordered, on the motion of Mr PAULL, that the Account. which were ordered out the 124.1 and 24th of April, and the lath of May 1011, relative to le.dia, thould be laid before the Hoof: forthwith. Mr. PAULL ohfcrved, that the Papers, the expence of print. ing which was yelterday moved for, were, he thought, included n tti. motion upon the fame fubjedt However, he was glad that the Honourahle General Lad, in hie aldenee, vakeu oration to fupply We ornition. Sir A. WELLESLEY flated Herndon. for the motion rekrred to, to be limply that the total tx2e.tee of the prtativi &mid be at once bdwe the Hook. MINT. Mr. ROBSON then rote, purfu:.nt to the notice j which he had givea raise days agop that he lhould this day make tome motions relative to the Barrack Department. He nulled it would be unneceffary to him, when the national expenditure was upwards of o:re million and a half weekly, and when the taxes had siren to (uch an enormous amount, to apologife to the Houfe for calling to their attention the aloft flagrant abufes of the public money that had ever been exhibited. When he made a motion on the rub. jet about two months ago, he was not fo well ac quainted with the extent of there abufes as he was now. He then afferted that double rent was paid for mere fluffs of barns; but on that occafion he had nut with a check from the Noble Laid below him, the previous quellion being tarried on his motion, though he believed that the Noble Lord had then no idea of the peculation. that exihed. This check in duced him to give ap the enquiry for a time; and he mull du the Noble Lord the jullice to fay, that he loft no timc ia making the neceffary enquiries, when he found matters much work than they were Tepee. Tented, and copied the very motions which he had formerly fubmitted, which were then carried. Front the papers it appeared, that the country had been giving at the rate-of 2001 a year for mere (hells of barns. About three months ago this rent had been reduced to one half, but if another half was taken from that, and another again, they would be hilltop dear. Could the Houfe believe that the country was paying cool, a year for mere (hells of barns? But, no doubt, there were other abufes in different parts of the country. The Barrack Accounts were fuppored to be the mutt difrofe in Europe (a/au:kJ. and he had hi therto confined himtelf to one quarter of the We of Wight, namely, the Sar,down Barracks, which were a mere (peck or (put when compared with the whale. He wilted them to be compared with the whole tera• porary Barracks in the kingdom, which, though taken , by the seek at an end-rmoos rate, were, i n genera l, ab fointely empty. He did not at prefent fpeak of the Barracks (4.1. ch were ercded by Government, but of temporary barns or finds. He had therefore drawn up a motion that would bring before the Houk the amount of the rums that were paid fur temporary Barracks, and every eireumfiance relating to them, which he fhould Stow fubmit to the Houfe. He then moved, that there 1)• laid before the Houfe," a Re. turn of all the buildings hired fur theasfe of Govern- mem, as temporary Barracks, throughout this king dom, from 1793 to the ptefent year; fpecifying, in fifteen different columns, the dates when taken, the perfuns from whom, the rents payable, the time occit• pled, and a variety of other itemsrefpeding the fame." The motion being read, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER raid, that he had no ohjeainn to the motion, as it was likely to procure information to the Houfe on the fubjed. He had formerly laid. that abufes exilled in the Barrack Department, and he had then given it as hit opinion, certainly with tome hefitation, that it would better fun the convenience of the Houfe to wa t fur the Report of the CommilTioners of Mi• litary Enquiry on the fubjed, as more likely to pro• duce a fatisladory refult. This Report, he was in formed, world be laid before the Houfe to-morrow ; but if the Honourable Gentleman thought proper, notwithfianding, to continue his motion, and not to wait for that Report, he, for one, fhould not object to it. The SECRETARY at WAR faid, that the Ho nourable Gentleman on a former occafion had moved for papers without any fpecific °Nee in view. The realms why certain barns had been hired, at fuels an extravagant rate in the Ifle of Wight, had been ow,, ing to the momentary circumflances of the time.— A large body of troops had been Rationed at that) part ut the coati, and thus the officer at the head of the Barrack Department had been placed at the mercy of the people who let out the barns to hire for the accommodation of the troops. But the earlierl opportunity had been taken to lower there extrava- I gala rates. He contended, however, that by the mode of proceeding adopted by the Hon. Member, unjuitinfinuations had been thrown out with regard to the charatters of Gentlemen who had no oppor tunity of defending themfelves. There did not ap• pear Mitiondua on the part of any one, except on that of the late Barrack Make, who had been found guilty of peculation, and difiniffed from the (mice. ! He salted the Honourable Member to be cautious of throwing out general infinuations, and if be had any complaint to bring againd any individual, let it be dine in a proper way. He lhould have thought it better, if the whole affair had been left to the In. veßigation of the CommiConers of Military Enqui ry I but Ince his Noble Friend had not objeaed to the InGtiON it fhould not meet with any oppofition ' hum him.• He faltered, however, that he meant to ground fame enquiry on his pretest motion t sad this would go to take the whole out of the-hands of tboto who were already entruded by the Honfe with the enquiry into military abaft% and (epee& the hivelligations of the COMTMIENCTS. Mr. ROBSON contended, that having waited two ' months for the Report oldie Commiffioners, and no report being prefented, he W:lf juftified in bringing the fithjea forward ; betides, thefe very Commiffioners had been fitting for thirteen months, to make a Re. port on a fobjea which could not with diligence oc copy more than one week. He had the affidavit of a Gentleman to prove, that it would be between three and tour years before the a hole of their labours could be finithed. He could not confent to give up his duty as a Member of Parliament in fhrinking from enquiry. If the Houle would appoint new Commif fioncrs, and make him one, he would undertake to lift the bonnet's to the bottom in a very fbort time. Mr. MARTIN (of Tewkefbury) (aid, that he i cordially agreed with the motion of his Honourable Friend, and added, that the people of this country were fu ftmiliarifed to this fort of pillage, that they were like lkinned eels, which were thought to be fo much arcultomed to the operation, that they bore it patiently—(4 laugh.) The SECRETA RY at WAR allied to know what farther meafiire the Hon. Gentleman meant to ground on his prefent motion ? Mr. PAULL then made tome ohfervations with regard to a Mr. Atkins, the late Barrack Matter, who had been difmilred. He dated him to have been for merly an honourable charader, and recommended by Sir R. Abacromby to the fituation which he held. It was not found out that he was a pilferer till he bad dilcovered certain peculation, of others, and had given information of them to the War Office. Till then lie was never found out to be difhoned. Sums had been given by way of rent that were perfeelly incredible, and in confequence of his information, they were reduced from t tool. to pool. He had been told alto, that thefe barracks were halt furnifhed by Government, arid then immediately gutted. When Atkins gave information of thole abufes, he was im mediately difmilred, without even being confronted by his accufers. He concluded with cordially fup. potting the motion of the Hon. Gentleman, whom he was glad to call his friend. Mr. CANNING obferved, that it had been &flirt ed for a fag, that this Atkins was difmilred on the affidavit of a man who had firffered by Atkins giv ing information of his peculation:. He had no doubt that the difmiffal was right, but he could will that the matter fhould be Hated to the fatisfaaian of the Houle. The SECRETARY at WAR denied that the Barrack Mailer had been difmiffcd on account of any information he had given, but merely becaufc there was a deficiency in his accounts. Mr. PAULL confidcred it very extraordinary that this man who appeared now to be the MIA improper pf all perfons, thould be fo long continued in a fitu stion of truth and confidence, that none but an hunch man fhould be placed in. Mr. Secretary WINDHAM raid, that he knew nothing of this Barrack Mailer when he was fiat appointed, and had only heard that he was an oth. cer fomewhat dillretred, and that there was nothing then Paid againft his charaller. It was not forpriz ing that the difcovery fhould have been made in the manner it was; for the fall was, that there was fo little public fpirit generally going, that it ufually proceeded from the irritation of loan private quarrel that trimfattions of this fort came to light. He did nut fee how Parliament could take the Wines into it, cavil hands, or do more than generally recommend it to the Comcniffioners to enquire diligently into abufes of this nature. If thefe Commiffioners did not do their duty, other Commiffioners Ihould be appointed, but he did not fee how that Houle could examine into every feparatc abufe that might be complained of. Mr. BASTARD thought it was the duty of the Houle to look diligently into abufes, when they were Rated, and, as guardians of the public purfe, to begenerally dißruflful. He did not expel much good horn one let of Commiffioners being ap pointed to fuperfede another. The Military Com millioners had Cott the nation the (urn of moool. for their labours the firth year. He thought the poi& ment of the individual, by tenurial from his office, would do more good, in the way of example, than ten Commiffiorn. Common fame reported, that there were mon enormous abufes in the Barrack Depart ment : that the nation was often charged for pulling down Root buildings, convenient fur lodging men, as much money as was (pent in building wooden Bar racks in unwholeforte fituations. He thought the whole fyfiem ought to be examined accurately. The SECRE VARY at WAR obferved, that the dimiffid of any Barrack Mager was only done upon the report of the Barrack Mailer General, whereas the original appointment was from the Secretary at War. Mr. HOBHOUSE was for the invefligation of every abufe which appeared to cliff. The Selolutinn was then put and carried. Mr. ROBSON then moved his ficond refolution. When he was called upon for the objeft of his mo tion, he fhould atif*er, that his objea generally was to lave the public money. When he got the lapels Moved for, he hoped it would produce a laving of 500,0001. per annum, in the Barrack Department. lie thought that the accounts of that Department, like thofe of the Board of Works, Ihould be made up quarterly. He imagined that there WAS no difficulty or myflery in the examination of thole accounts ; and that it only required felting about it. If he had the honour of being appointed a Commillioner, he felt himfelf perfatly difpofed to enter into the bu finefs to-morrow. He concluded by moving fir " Return of Canteens and Barracks rented for the ar meithroughout Great Britain, from the year t7srß to the prefent time, 4illinguithing the per forts from whom taken, and the rent paid." PAtILL role proliffedly to fecond the motion, but commencing by a reply to fnmething which had fallen from the Secretary at War in the dilcuflion of the former Refolution, The SPEAKER informed him, that this was con trary to the ellablifbed forms of the Houle. Mr. PAULL flill continued addreffiug himfelf to the obfervations of the Secretary at War. • Mr. Secretary WINDHAM fpoke to orden. He (aid it would be impofble•for the bufinefb of the Houle to be ever gone through, if Members conceived they had a right, at all times, to fay whatever they pleated, without paying any attention to the forms of debate, or the intimations oldie Chair. Mr. PAULL again rofe, and contended, that he had a right, to give what rufous he Ocala for fc conning a motion. He was spas continuing in fame courfe. when he was reminded of the inquiet it/ by the SPEAKER. The SECRETARY at WAR thought it the bitfl way to let him make thofe explanations about which he appeared Cr. anxioos. Mr. PAULI. again store. and continued hi. fpeech ; when Mr. Secretary Wass:mem and Colonel BASTARD (poke to order, and the Hon. Gentleman. at length, fat down. and fail he Ihould withdraw hi. fcconding the motion. After Come words from Mr. ROBSON, the motion was put and agreed to. Mr. ROBSON then brought forward another Re. folution. He (fated. that there were Come parts of the information which he had received, which was alma too bad to mention to the Houfe. There was a Mrs. Parker, a favourite lady of Major Lewis's. who had taken a houfe from a Mr. Barton, a taylor, in Newport, at the rent of Sol. per ans:.• sod rented it immediately to the Officers for their mm; at 7.1. per ann. When (poke to about the enormity o f the charge, the raid, that when every body elfe was lA. bing Government, the did not fee why the mould not have a little. fie concluded, by moving for an Ac count of Dung, Allies, Dun, Straw, and Sweepings. belonging to the different Barracks, from the ft of January 1793. This motion was negatived without any dircuffion. MILITIA 0/VICARS' ray SILL. On the motion for the 3d reading of this Bill, Mr. PI.RCEVAL Paid, that lag night he had for borne to make any ohfervationa on the Bill, on ac count of the thin attendance of Members. He mu' now fay, that it was unwire and unjuft, that when the Militia Officers were on different duties, they fhould find themfelvea futidenly, by an Aft of the LegiOature, placed on a worth footing than th e Officers of the Regular Army. All the Militia Offi cers who were in the Houle, oppofed the Bill, and the impropriety of it was fo great, that two tenants of the Crown were obliged to vote again' the Right Hon. Gentleman on that mafios i notwithaantfing all the prejudice they mutt be fuppoled to pave in favour of his meafures in general. He eonfidered that the raving was a paltry eonfideration, and that • it was a dire& aft of injoftice to alter the terms of the militia fervice, without at haft giving the men the liberty of refigning. Every militia man, whether a balloted man, • fobnitute, or a volunteer, entered the fervice under the terms Rated by the law, and had a right to ex pee to be on a footing with the Re. gular Army. The Militia, although a compulfory fervice, was entitled as much to all the benefits held forth by law, as impreffed (cameo have to thofe nefits which the naval fervice affords. It might be Paid, that although this was a breach of faith, yet it was but a little one, in the fame way that a Lady, excufing herfelf for having a natural child, laid." It was but a little one." It appeared to him, that it was a moll ferious breach of faith. He concluded by moving, as an amendment, " that the Bill be read a third time this day three months." Lord FOLKESTONE laid, the Bill was not fo voluminous, but much taller to be underftood thalt many Adis paffed under a former Adminiftration, of which that Hon. and Learned Gentleman was a Mem ber. He could not fee that any injurs was done by this Bill to any individual. The FieldOffieets of the Line had, however, Tome claims to the liberality of the public, fuperior to thole of the Militia Field Of.. Geer.. The Regular Field Officers mutt have been a confiderable time in the army, and generally rofe to their fitnations after many toils and dangers,wbere. as the Militia Field Officers were placed at once in that fituation. When he was a Militia Officer, he was convinced that he lhould have made no objeetion to a regulation like the prefent. Sir WILLIAM ELFOf:D raid, that force take appeared to prevail Sots: the Militia Captains. In the Regiment of which he was Lieutenant Colo- Del, every one of them had rifen to that fituation from Subalterns, and he believed this was generally the courfe in all well regulated Militia Regiments : they therefore did require the addition, often as much as the Regular Officers. As to danger, it mug be al lowed, that the Militia were not left expofed to danger now than they were formerly. ' Alderman PRINSEP did not think that the pay of the Army was (efficient at prefent to induce qualified men to become Officers of Militia. and the induce ment would be (lin lets, if there was any dininftion made to the prejudice of the Militia. Mr. WINDHAM differed with the Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman (Mr. Perceval) who laid, that this Bill was a violation of the Militia Aft ; but palling over this part, he denied the general principle which would follow from the propofition of the Learned Gentleman, namely, that an Aft of Parlia ment was a contraft formed with the Public, which Ihould be immutable from the moment of its palling, like the laws of the Medes anJ Perfians. Such doc trines carried with it its own refutation, benaufe the hillory of the country, and the praftice of Parliament, were proofs to the contrary. Would any perfon con• Cider it a breach of faith to make an altersonn in the Mutiny Law, even to make it more hem, if necef- Jai y ? Would an, body hi/apt:At, that it would be a bleach of faith to the Army to alter the chfcipline of one part of it and not of another ? As the Militia was always to lubfilt in tome Ihape or another, and theiefilre, on thofe grounds, it might be argued to the end of time, that it would be a breach of faith for the Legiflature to make any objeftions. It %vivid be a b•eitell of faith to do it in time of peace as well AS in ! t i me of war ; and yet the Honourable and Learned Member (Mr. Perceval) was hirrifelt the perftm to 'people its being done in time of deace, ma not in time of war. If, then, he conlidered th it it was a ! great breach of faith in time war, and only a little tine in tittle of peace, the (tory of the Lady and her " rue,. natural Child" was only applicable to the ar gument of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, and he might have done better to have kept it to himfelf.— The excepti. ns were not lo much made upon the I ground of ceconomy, as on the go und of justice. It was hut ju.lice to the Regular Officers to give what was abfolutcly necellary fir tit_ in. If this increale was nit confidered fo neceffary to the militia, they fhould rather confider it as an honourable dininition, than any fort of ill treatment. Mr. C. W. WYNNE fupported the arguments of Mr. Windham, and obfetyed, that the pimcipal sr gnment on the other fide of the Houle, that the Mi litia Oiliccrs were injtued by the arrangement pie !iclibed in this DM WAS, a total misdatcluglits sad s . . 'A I
