Every exertion continues to be used for the rein forcement of our army here, and they are daily i,n pressing men, who are not allowed as formerly to lie in prison, but are immediately obliged to swear fide lity to their colours, and are then marched off to the corps to which they are appointed. Cannon are also constantly sending to the frontiers. It is very com mon to see twelve or fourteen carts, with a gun and carriage in each, drawn by six oxen ; we, in common with our neighbours, have been called upon to send one and sometimes two men for a week together, to work at the erection of the forts which are forming in every eligible spot, as rallying points in the event of the troops being compelled to return. All these measures are doubtless very prudent and proper, but we should be very sorry to see the army obliged to fall back upon these forts, however formidable they may be. We are expecting more troops from England, which, on landing, it is supposed, will form a reserve, and be quartered - in the city. The transports here, are divided into divisions, with 3 Lieutenant commanding each division ; they are stationed in different parts of the harbour. Two di visions are lying in the bay formed by the point of Clisilas and Coinha ; and as they are all fine cop pered ships and armed, it has a very beautiful ap pearance. Another division is below Belem, and each regiment, now, has certain regular transports appointed in case of need, and one in particular for the field officers, &c. of each. The men of war are also formed in line of battle, with the small craft in the intervals. rocks. Eight men and one boy (named in the margin *) were killed on board the Tribune, and, thirteen men wounded. The loss of the enemy is supposed to have been considerable. • Lawrence Higgins, William P.

First Lieutenant Cavalic Mercer to be Setond Captain, vice Fyers, promoted. Dared as above. Second lieutenant William Reid to be First Lieutenant, vice actually shewn to particUlar persons, not only through the means of persons employed in the subordinate departments of the Office, but through the agency and co-operation of one of the principals. 44 Your Committee here think it necessary, for the elucidation of the narrative which it is their duty to submit to the House, to state that the establishment of the Exchequer Bill Office is composed of three Paymasters, who are the chief and responsible per sons in the Office. The present Paymasters are, Sir John Peter, Mr. Planta, and Doctor Cudlipp. Sir ' John Peter and Mr. Planta were the Paymasters at ' tending the Board at the time the funding took place, , and were also the Paymasters in attendance at the time the Committee were .proceeding in their exami nafo as. According to the rules of the Office, the I ant n _lance of two Paymasters is necessary upon every operation of the office ; and it appears that the three IPaymasters arrange their periods of duty for their mutual convenience and accommodation. Sir John 1 Peter and Mr. Planta are resident in London ; Doc tor Cudlipp is a practitioner in medicine, resident in the West of England, except at the period when he is in attendance at this Office." The Committee having then commented on Ale extremely inconvenient manner in which the Holders gained admittance into the Exchequer Bill Office, proceed to skew with what kind of impartiality the different holders were treated : " Such is the mode in which business ought, by the custom of the Office, to be conducted in the operation cO . funding ; a mode sufficiently loose and inconvenient, but which certainly should be the !same for all. In the late funding it appears, that 1 one of the Paymasters, Sir John Peter, according to an arrangement previously made, did. on the first day of landing, before the doors were opened to the public, take into the office with him Mr. Goldamid,' 1 Mr. Sutton, and Mr. Gilman, as appears from the ' evidence of Mr. Goldsmid and Mr. Sutton. The i other Paymaster in attendance, Mr. Planta, says, that he found those Gentlemen in the Board-room upon his arrival at the Office ; that he knew it to be a great impropriety ; that he expressed indignation at the proceeding, and ordered the doors to be imme diately thrown open to the public. The names, how. ever, of the gentlemen so introduced stand among the very first on the books of that day. This irregularity appears to have been sufficiently known and noticed to have prevented a repetition of the same practice; but it probably would not have been brought under the ob servation of the House of Commons of itself ; because the whole of the £8,000,000 of Exchequer Bills was not subscribed in Bills bearing Ad. interest per diem ; all who wished to subscribe such bills hid room. On the 22d of March, the day on which the 31d. bills were first admitted, there remained of die 5€8,000,000 a sum of £2,188,700 unsubscribed. The holders of. those bills were very eager to fund them ; a great com. petition was excited, and a great number of persons assembled ; there was great press and hazard to those in the throng, and many irregul trines were on that day committed in the Office. and much partiality was shewn. In the first place, fmm neglect of constantly casting up, an excess of bills to the amount of €311,000 were admitted on the books, and when bills to that amount were returnad to the bill-holders, it appears that some perons who had been in attendance at the door of the Office from the earliest hour, and who had been admitted amongst the very first after the doors were opened, received their bills back under pretence that they were not in time to have their names put down before the £8,000,000 were corn- , pleted ; whilst others who had manifestly arrived ii.' the Off to at a later period, some who had obtainedl 1 adpittance into the Office by ways not intended foe , theft purpose, and some who had not been in the Office I at *all, nor any one for them, at the proper period. had their bills included in the funding. The circum stances attending these separate modes, by which ma undue advantage was allowed to some persons to the injury of the public at large, will be found in the evi dence contained in the Appendix, which your Coln. mittee is sorry to observe has been rendered much more voluminous than was necessary by the mode in which some of the witnesses have answered to their examinations ; but your Committee forbear to press their opinion Oil such conduct, or the motisfes of it. The House will judge for itself. The House will %also perceive in the evidence of Sir John Peter, the reasons why his examination was not continued by the Committee.' `the manifest impropriety of this conduct is obvious, 'bid to proceed-:- •e, wo,-1. . • 'Si It appear§, first, that it auunstutimition was held ' joetween Sir John Peter, Mr. Sutton, and Mr. Roberts, ruttier to MT, Sutto n , on . she,SlsiCii March, relative --- - Mery r, promoted.

When in d e Office Mr. Sutton did not, in the regular routine, 0, to the counter, from the counter to the accour4nt, and from the accountant to the board ; but he we t ; at once into the Board-room, and delivered his buffs into the hands of Sir John Peter, and then departed from the office without any memorandum at all as A voucher for the security of himself or his cwomers. The memorandum was delivered, in the same after. noon, by Sir John Peter to Mr. Roberts, in coast. qiience of a note from Mr. Sutton. The hills of Messrs. Roberts and Sutton were included in theR8,000,001" It is here only necessary to add, that the person chiefly concerned in bestowing this undue preference, besides Sir John Peter, was Mr. Patetlinrp, the Ac. countant. The following is the pan of the obserra tions contained in the Report against him: ~ It appears to your Committee that the entries in that part of the first page, in which any ent r i es are made in Mr. Palethorp's book relating to the 91),d, bills, and the whole of the next page, are entries made by preference, as far as your Committee has been able ,to trace them, except in the case of Mr. Olivera, a n d Itwo others at the foot of the second page ; the erasures there found by the knite and the pen are explained in the evidence of Mr. Blanc." 1 The Committee, it appears from one of the pieced. ing extracts, have hinted that there was something in the nature of Sir John Peter's evidence, which induced the Committee to decline eaamisting him farther : we shall Ore therefore the conclusion of this Gentle. man's evidence Is not Mr. Faletkorp the entering Clerk of Exchequer Bilk fr Funding ?--fle is the Accountant.

The follevring is the conclusion of the Report : " Upon the whole, your Committee are of opinion that gross partiality has been shewn in the late fund. ing of Exchequer Bills; and that the details of per ticular Lacts, before enumerated, call for the immedi• ate revision and reform of the effice. " Your Committee are not authorized to point not any mode by which it might appear to them the busi. ness respecting funding Exchequer Bills could be placed on a better footing ; but the defects of the Of• fice, in the department submitted to the consideratien of the Committee, are manifest : the system is r.tdi• cally bad ; and the public are proved to have received material injury, to the advantage of favoured inii. viduals."
