ff=h--------77—""'""—r-. .. .. Me atafp V end be maintained that the 111.84 would not do k received the aecounts in the gram The Hon. Gentile.* talked of stars and gabaies ; but he tent an Irish way of organs the question. by first admitting that the principle of sinecuresvrae bad. As to what the Hoc. Gentleman said about a bond of union, ft was absurd to suppose that between * Officer sitting semMy at the Admiralty Board and the Navy there could be anythingllite a bond of union. As to confidence, that House ought never to give away the public money, without knowing for what purpose the money was to be applied. lie therefore must move as ' Amendment, that a return be made in the prices of the provi sions used in victualling the Navy, from the years 1813 to 1821 inclusive. ---Mr. CROKER explained. Colonel DAVIS rose to ask if the lion. Member meant to give any return whatever to the application of his Hon. Friend? Sir. CROKER said he had already explained his view of the subject; and he was sure the House w ould not permit him to speak spin. The House then divided on this motion :—The numbers en the division were—For the Amendment, 54—Against it, 158.- 3lajotity against it, 104. Ott the re-admission of strangers, Sir J. OSBORN was pro . posing, that there be granted for the service of the Navy this tear, 21,000 men, including 10,000 Marines. Mr. HUM F. desired to know what there was in the present circumstances of the country requiring 2000 men more now than in 1817? Ile entreated the House not to pass the Resolution without further inquiry. He proposed to leave out the words 0 twenty-one thousand,' and substitute nineteen thoneand. Sir G. COCKBURN stated, that in the beginning of a former war the country had suffered materially from the want of a suf bean number of Marines to commence manning the feet. A . number of soldiers were taken on board in their stead : they were very much discontented, and when they left the port be came very sea-sick. It was therefore proposed last year, and Parliament had approved the proposition, that 2000 Slarines should be added to the Naval Establishment. Sir I. COFFIN adverted to the necessity of keeping up a cer tain number cf Officers ready at all times to go to sea. Men who like him had been fifty years in the service, might not be competent to the duty. Mr. It. G. BENNET said, that when it suited the purpose of Ministers, they held out the expectation that the peace was to last fur ever ; but when fault was found with the extravagant expenditure, the exclamation immediately was, " Wbo knows but we may soon have a war?" He should like tole informed why 8000 Marines were now to be kept up? Was a war now more probable than in 1817? The truth was, that in 1822, the peace establishment was larger than in 1817, while the country was labouring under increased distress. The difference was at least l'rs'oo,ooo ill the naval departments; yet from 1817 down wards the same empty promises of economy had been given, and the same constant neglect of them shewn. There was the same pledge of economy, and the sante practice of profusion. Why did tot the Country Gentlemen, when so many opportunities were afforded, dt,charge the engagements they bad made to their constituents, instead of trusting to the chance of a long Parlia ment, and the amiable forgetfulness of their friends—(Bear). — He wished that the people of England could really look into the Home of Commons—(Much cheering); nothing under Heaven could give him greater satisfaction, for it would save posterity from the innumerable calamities threatened by Mi nisters. If the eye of the Public were steadily kept upon their Representatives, there might be at least a chance of a remedy. The people of England did sometimes learn who voted on the Opposition side of the House; would to God they could see the votes on the side of Ministers ! That God-send, a list of a Ministerial majority, would bring the nation to its senses, and ought to be posted through the kingdom—(llear, hear, from all sides.) It would then be seen why, in 1822, a larger sum was to be voted than in 1817. Ile still had some faint hope that Gentlemen who had been be lavish of their promises out of door. would give some specimens of the performance of them within doors. Sir GEORGE CLERK called the attention of the Commit tee to the remaining portion of the Estimates, from which It would be seen that there was a reduction of nearly two mil lions—(Hear).—The Hon. Blember for Aberdeen seemed sur prised at this statement, but it was borne out by the fact. Mr. HUME confessed that the statement about a saving of 2,000,000/. was quite a surprise upon him. He was very willing to take it on the Word of the Honourable Baronet, if the Esti mates on the table did not shew the reverse. The Estimate for 1817 was 1A85,4151.; at present the Estimates were 489,5501. less; but how did this shear that there was a saving of 2,000,0001.? The expenses of 1818 were 6,540,0001. • of 'lBl9, 6,527,0001.; and of 1820, 6,691,00 01 .; and the saving apparent this year did not arise from any spirit of economy =the part of Government, but from the death of Bonaparte. Dir. CROKER observed, that the Hon. Gentleman was mis taken in asserting that the Estimates of 1817 fell short of 8,000,000/. 'the mistake was very trifling in amount, being only 671,000/.—(Hear). That sum was obtained by the sale of old stores, and it was taken in aid of the vote of the year; so that, in point of fact, though the vote from Parliament was only as stated, yet the real expense was greater by 671,0001. The Hon. Member might dispute this fact, if he vault. It could also be found that, under the Appropriation Act, there was a vote of 1,660,0001. to make good the expenses of the naval establish ment, and to pay off the Navy Debt ; so that the whole of the Supplies was not lees than 7,700,0001. Mr. HUME pledged himself to the accuracy of his own state• meat; and was equally certain that the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Croker) was wrung. He (Mr. Hume) contended that the 671,0001. ought to be deducted from the 5,98.5,0001. so that one statement was as correct as the other. The annual finance ac counts, given under the authority of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, and laid upon the table on the sth of January, 1818, spewed the same thing under the Bth head. It there appeared that the Navy wages amounted to 2.524,0001. the victuals to 9,793,000/. and the ordnance to 1,155,000 f. making a total of 6,472,0001. being an excess not more than common of 500,0004 above the estimate. Perhaps the Honourable Secretary could explain all this. Mr. CHOKER said, that be would do so with the greatest pleasure. The Ordinary Estimate for 1817 was 2,476,1151. from which was to be deducted the sum of 671,000/. for old stores. The Extraordinary Estimate was 1,691,0001. the Trans. port F. , timate 261,0001. and the Wear and Tear Estimate 1,619,9001. fonFing a total of 6,492,0001. Mr. HUME was willing to rest the issue on the papers upon the table—(Hear). The Marquis of LONDONDERRY adverted to the employ ment of the Marines is the Mediterranean and on the Coast of Africa. Both there and in some of the ports they did the duty of land soldiers, and thus enabled Ministers to make a larger reduction of the regular military force of the country. This could not have been dune without the 2,000 additional 3larines voted last year. Sir ISAAC COFFIN bore testimony to the great utility of the Marines.—A division then took place— For the Amendment...s3—Against it... 157 Strangers were also ordered to withdraw on the next resolu tion kr £593,579 for the Wages of 21,000 Seamen and Marines; but no division took place, as the resolution was carried. On re-admission of strangers to the gallery, Mr. Hems was objecting to the vote for what was termed the Coast Blockade. Ile complained that the House was quite in darkness upon the subject, and objected to the system altogether. The CHANCELLOR of tfie EXCHEQUER noticed the re -transferring of £BO,OOO from the Customs to the Naval De partment, which apparently swelled the item. Mr. HOBHOUSE saw very clearly that Ministers intended to refuse every kind of information, everything that could enable the House to investigate do subject. All propositions for inquiry were met only by a direct negative, supported by the ordinary 'Ministerial majority ; and as this course had been pursued quite long enough fur one night, be moved that the Chairman report progress, and ask leave to sit again. Lard ALTHORPE put a question regarding the different charge per man for victuals at present, and in 1817? 1 Sir O. COCK BURN said, that the charge fur victuals per man now was .ti. 19s. per month. Mr. BROUGHAM observed, that there had been a very considerable fall in the price of provisions, and he wished dis ti• etly to know what difference that fall bad made in the monthly charge for victuals per mars. 'Hie expense now, it appeared, was Al. 19a,-Wl2Bt was it in 18 - .71 Sir G. COCKBURN answered, that the charge for the years ante and 1820 had bees IL Is. per man. It ought to be re collected, however, that sometimes It was necessary to buy pro visions abroad at a dear rate, and in the East India this year there would be an additional nav force. Mr. W. SMITH raid a few w as requiring further informs opallino as the subject of the pr resolution. Mr. BE AL wished to home bowls would interfere with the high destinies of Inland to give information on the prices of • beef and pork for the current yes'? lie objected to the eO,OOOL given for the coast blockade whitest farther istorntation. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended the meatus of trandarbg from the Customs to the Navy the ex penses 10 the coast blockade. Mr. LOCKHART entered into a good deffi of dlscusdon on the misting distress. and the inane of relieving it. The distress was admitted to be great, yet there was a proportional reduc tion of the public burdens. There should, therefore, be no vote the present abject tin the elimination proposed by his Fla. •Filsod,•tho klen• foe Aberdeen, was gone into. Mr. BROUGHAM declared, that in his opinion sufficient intornadon was not laid before the Committee for gala vote. Nor did he see why Ministers should moist the production of more Cirestimates. At any rase, he Could see no objection. r tosing to give information of bow the last year's sailor. the some object was disposed of. He could conceive a Frani or Spanish Lord of the Admiralty looking with some intmestod view to an account of the estimates for the present year, ad therefore ministers might refuse very minute information. but am was not the same reason for denying information on the item of last year. and therefore no such ground for the reluct ance of Ministers. He was therefore surprised to hear that this infatuates was to be denied. By furnishing a more particn be adulate, the country would be able to .deride whether 11. 19.. was too much or too little. Mr. CROKER said that before the Report was brought up, it the vote was allowed to pass, the requisite information might be laid before the House. Mr. HUME objected to a vote without more particular in formation. In lit? the sum of to.L is. was voted for each man. No information was Oval why the present differed. The Marquis of LON DO NDE RItY did not see how the particular items of the estimate could now be made out. After some farther conversation between Mr. limo, Mr. Assammt, Mr. Class, and Mr. 11. Sumas, the House di vided Far reporting progress, and to take time to consider the vote for victuals . • Against it . . 47 . 147 . -100 Majority On re-admission to the gallery, Sir R. WILSON was expressing his intention of again dividing' the Committee, for the purpose of delaying this vote. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY expressed his readiness, if the vote were now suffered to pass, to give every necessary explanation on a future day. Mr. BROUG/lAM willingly acceded to this proposition. If the vote were taken merely as a vote of credit, to be minutely accounted for on another day, he would agree to it, but cer ,tainly not else. The resolution was then agreed to, the Chairman reported progress. and asked leave to sit again on Monday. Mr. GOULBURN brought in a 1.1111 for regulating the im portation of arms into Ireland; and also a Bill for indemnifying those persons who had seized arms in Ireland, for the preserva tion of the public peace, since the Ist of November last ; which were Severally read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Tuesday next. Adjourned at half-put 12 till Monday. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1822. STOCK EXCHANGE, TEN O'CLOCK. The House is crowded this morning, and a great deal of busi ness is transacting. Consols opened at 78k, 79. 5 per Cents. are 104. When the result was first known yesterday of the plan of the Lords of the Treasury, the Funds fell ; but, after three o'clock, there was a great quantity of 5 per Ccnt. thrown ors the Market, and Consols rose one-half per Cent. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Funds are not so brisk as they were on the opening of the Market this morning, when Consols were done at 781, 79. Consols are now at 78; fur the Account, and S pet Cents. 1034.

A difference of opinion seems to exist as to the probability of the plan being carried into the full extent contemplated, bat the extensive holders are fa vourable to the project.—Current prices Bank • Stock 249 248% 3 per Cent.

Ministers are certainly either very undecided as to their plans or very careful that the Public shall not know much of them at once : thus they are either let out piecemeal or involved in such obscurity that it is not easy to penetrate them. On Friday week the Marquis of LONDONDERRY laboured for upwards of four hours to convince the House of Commons that the finances of the country were in a most flourishing state ; and that the Ministry, of which he is so pro minent a member, had made every possible reduction in the public expenditure, although out of an expen diture of twenty-six millions reductions to the amount of two millions only were made, a large portion of which was necessarily saved to the country by the deaths of her late MAJESTY, Of BONAPARTE, &C. His Lordship, who, in addition to his other offices, is on all important occasions the mouth-piece of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, intimated an inten tion on the part of Ministers of reducing the interest ea the Five per Cents. Yesterday the plan, having been duly concocted, was submitted to the Public, through the Governor of the Bank and several other Gentlemen, who waited on Lord lavinrooL and Mr. VANSITTART, and is as follows: " A new Stock to be created, bearing an interest at the rate of 4 per Cent. per Annum, the interest to be payable on the .sth of January and the Sth of July, in each year, and not to be paid off until the Sth of January, 1829. • " All holders of 3 per Cents. who shall not signify their dis sent, to have for every £lOO 5 per Cent. Annuities £lO5 in the ntw 4 per Cent. Stock. • " Tht Sat Vvidead of the new 4 per Cent. Stock to be pay able on the Sib of January, 1823.

" Persons dissenting to be paid of In the numetical order in which their names may be subscribed. Sear piiVenest to commence on the sth July, 1522, and to be coodnuad tench periods, and in such manner, as Parliament may direct. " AS holders of 5 per Cent. Stock will rem*. that dividends due on the sth July, 5.22." Some of our contemporaries are loud in their eulogies of this plan, while others condemn it; we think it merits neither, since it W as harmless in its 'nature as it will be inefficacious in its results. When, in 1749, Mr. PI MLi AM proposed reducing the 4 per Cents. which then amounted to three millions, he did it gradually, giving notice that after one year the 4 per Cents. should only pay 31 per cent. for seven years, but after that period they shourd be further reduced to 3 per cent. _ The whole of the National Debt at that time was less than 70 millions, and the interest did not amount to mote than three millions, et of the holders of the three millions of the 4 per Cents. only two-thirds agreed to the transfer; and l holden to the amount of one million were paid off. The interest of our debt now is thirty millions ; the lamount of the 5 per Cents. to be reduced is 155 mil lionst and yet Ministers, without a shijling in the Treasury, talk of paying it off. The fact is, that the plan is merely a tub thrown out to the whale, a plan , to divert the public attention front economy and re trenchment. That they cannot give £lOO to a single lbolder who should demand it, Ministers are well aware, but they hope to do it by transferring it from one Stock to another; that is to say, to cancel the present Stock which pays 5 per cent. interest, and create a new Stock, which is to be called 4 pet Cents. —lf the terms are agreed to by the Public generally, the Navy Five per Cents. amounting in principal to £155,000,000, and paying an interest of £7,750,000, will be done away with; and instead, a new debt to the amount of L:162,7.50,000 will be created, bearing an interest of £6,310,000. On this proposition, there fore, an annual saving, to the amount of £3,240,000, will be effected ; but, on the other hand, the sum of £7,750,000 will be added to the principal of the pre- sent National Debt. Now taking the sum of L:1,240,000 at six years' purchase, it amounts to the sum of £7,440,000, which about equals the additions made to the principal of the National Debt. The gain to the country, therefore, will not take effect until after the expiration of six years ; inasmuch as the million and a quarter- annually saved by this operation will not pay the addition made to the principal of the National Debt within a shorter period. We have hitherto supposed, that the whole of the holders agree to the transfer—that is, agree to receive four per cent. for their money, instead of five per cent. as gua ranteed to them on the creation ; but should they refuse, Ministers, with all their vapouring about the national credit, must either violate it or seek other means of evading the demand of the Public for such a system of rigid economy and retrenchment, in every department of the State, as shall make an extensive reduction in the public expenditure.

We regret that it is not this day in our power -to mention any abandonment of the lawless pursuits of the banditti in the country; indeed the system seems to be extending. In the county of Sligo, which hi therto has not manifested intubcrdination, scum ' outrages have beeen committed. At Easky, a few nights since, a temporary barrack was set on fire by a party of disaffected persons, and consume& A Serjeant of Yeomanry was beaten to death by this party. In the county of Roscommon, also, nocturnal meetings, for illegal purposes, have been held about Ballagh and Culumogh. In the Barony of Iverk, county of Kilkenny, last week, the banditti :ommittact several outrages. Wed nesday, a numerous party attacked the house of It Lindy, near Kilmaganny, demanding arms; on being tensed, they tet on fire put of the dwelling, which - , in all probability, would have been consumed, had not a Catholic Priest slept in the house upon learning which the party desisted. Mr. Max, who was dreadfully wounded by the in surgents some time ago, died on Alonday after much suffering. Two men have been committed co Kil• kenny jail, charged with the murder. In the county of Tipperary, the insurrectionary spirit proceeds with unabated zeal. Wednesday, three houses and offices, on the lands of Coolnaun, within two miles of the town of Tipperary were %urned. Of the fourteen men tried at Cork, on Monday, in one indictment, the following ten were found Guilts . : Daniel Murphy, Daniel Reardon, Patrick Lehane, Patna Breen, Thomas Guggin, Cornelius Buckley, Cornelius Lug, Jeremiah Hurley, Hurnihry Hinchey, and John Kelleher. Four were acquitted, of the names of Thomas Sz..hriven, mothy Swiney, Michael Lynch, and Martin Swiury. The Court then adjourned. THE ARMY. court:, JANUARY 2. The conduct Um. masters shews more and more their partiality in favour of the Turks. Not contented with having manifested it by closing up by their police all the channels through which we might receive in formation of what is passing in Greece, they make war by anticipation against Russia. The Consul- General of that Power at Smyrna heing obliged to quit his post, to escape assassination, had take% re fuge at Cerigo, with the persons belonging to his office, where he lived, strictly watched by the police. He hoped that time would bring some relaxation of this strictness, and he had permitted his first Drago man to go to Zante, where his wife and children had taken refuge on the burning of Plants. This Officer thought the wished-for moment was at hand when he should join his family, but with arrival at the Health Office, he received orders to re-embark, and to de pan within a certain time. In vain he alleged his character, and the rights of nations ; a deaf ear was turned to his' remonstrances, and he was obliged to depart. Since that time, the Government has given notice to the Consul. General of the Emperor Alexan der, to his Legation, and all Russian subjects, to quit the lonian Islands. It is imagined that all these ex patriated individuals, most of whom arc in very unfor tunate circumstances, are going to embark for Italy. FRANKtORT, FEBRUARY tr. The Emperor of Russia has issued an Ukase, which abolishes for ever the punishment of branding, which was in use in Russia after the punishment of the knout ; in order that the criminal, if he ever should repent and amend his conduct, may be able again to appear in society without the disadvantage of having his crime recalled to his own recollection, or that of others, by the brand-mark. The Emperor has also prohibited the use of all violent means to constrain accused persons to acknowledge themselves guilty.
