Also an ac. eaten of the number of Bills filed in each year, from the Ist of 14r.udry, 1810.—Agreed to. Mr. Wn I TBR LAD said he was desirous of asking a question sug gested to him by the speech of the President of the United States, latoly received in this Country : however, as he understood that the Noble Lord (Castlereagh) was indisposed, he should not press it, unless the Chancellor of the Exchequer ha.l no ohjoction to answer. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that his noble friend 'Castlereagh) would be able in the course, perhaps, of to-morrow, to answer the question himself. Mr. WHITBREAD wished to know when the adjournment was to take place ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said not before Tuesday or Wednesday next. Be was not aware, however, that any new matter would be brought forward in the House after Friday. Mr. WHITBREAD desired to know, what annum of Exchequer Bills would be outstanding in the month of February next. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it depended upon cir cumstances. The amount outstanding might be at that time about e, 1 340,0001. M r. CR EEVEY wished to know the produce of the Consolidated Fund nit the War Taxes up to the last quarter. lie should make a motion ta that purpose to-morrow, unless the Chancellor of the Exchequer sail he was ready to bring forward the account necessary to discover what their produce was. He thought it would be a great convenience it the property tax appeared upon two schedules, one stating the amount ariaing from land, and the other arising from trade . The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he could have no wish and no ioterest in withholding trom the public the accounts anuded to. Mr. CREEVEY desired to know Utile deficiency in the revenue was, to reality, not more than what was stated on a former sight, namely, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that the accounts lamed he very von before the House, when it woul d app ear that the LfO.tency was not niore than 90,0001. a great part of which fell upon the excise. The Malting Bill, the Chocolate Bill, and the West India indem nity Rill, were then read a third time and passed. The 1-16;use went into a Committee orsu My, and Lord Palmerstone prop ised rat additional grant of 2,700,00j1. for the army. fir. n TBREAD thought it strange, that in 48 hours after another grant hid been made, the Noble Lurd should come again to the House welt such an application. Lord P A LMERSIONE said it was his business to take the estimates trnnt the other departments. He had no other means of calculating i sum far which he should apply. What he proposed the other lll& he thought would be suftieieal. Upon enquiry, ho w e ver, it u •a N sfo:ind, that the sum then proposed w n be enough.

P. R." The C ANCEEIMR of the Excut 012 ER moved, that his Royal High ness's most gracious Messa,e t;hould b•-.: referred to a Committee of Supply. Mr. NVII Tr.tt rA n thought it would better heenme an English House cf Coo:mons. at a period like the present, to vote something to relieve the safli:ring subjects of this country, bef.)re they carried their generosity so far as to relieve tha subjects of Russia. Sir F. BeitHElr not only thought a grant of tit= nature of that pro posed most extraordinary, in our present eircumstancea, but he thought it most insulting to the people of this country. Mr. STECII s, far from thinking such a grant would be felt insult ing to the people of this country, was confident they would feel in sulted by larguage like that held by the Hon. Bart. Mr. VONSONBY said, whatever view might be taken of it by those Gentlemen with whom he was in the habit of acting, he had by no means decided on opposing the grant recommended. Mr. Rosa had a perf,?..t couviction on his mind, that the interests of the people of this country would be best consulted by agreeing to the measure recommenikd by the Message. Lord NUGENT tVi!•I1C1 to gu .rd against giving any pledge one way or the other, but he did not hesitate to say, that he had a strong dispo. sition to support the grant. Mr. Lock HART strongly defended the policy of the grant. The Message was order to he referre• to a Committee of Supply. SPANISH CANIPAIGN. Lord NUGENT rave n.&ce, that bowl afw the holidays, it was his intention to move thr certain Papers, explanatory of the corKluc.l of she late Campaign in Spain. The CHANCELLOR of the EX.CHF2UER, in fr °yin the th;rd reAdint of the Household Bill, propo e. 4 to omit two of the clauses which had been of jected to, not on acciunt of what had been said 61 thew in that Hoilsf-, but from other circumstances. The Bill so curtailed virus read a third time and passed. A MER IC A Mr. WHITSRLAD t•egged t ) ask the ISlrble Lord (Lord Castlereagh', if before the recess it was his intentior ; lay certain papers f i rmi nii difrerept correspondences before the House.
