'~ 4 to its increase, it was necessary andjustif.vbter--41e.bad argued front first to last, as if all those establishments were inefllload for the purpose of ineret.sing the expenditure, instead ofariseng out of the circotiostantc3 of the ti•oes. In fortifications, the lionnurahie Cieutteman had promised to save the co:miry 500.000!. ; why wo.uld he not SiIVC them the whole e%penee ?-- The Honourable Gentleman had estimated the Commissariat de leirtment of Ireland at 98,000/. a par, hot he (Mr. Huski.sori) conni -gate. that int;toding all the pernaneat labourers, it did not exceed `i,04)1. but tie: Honourable Gentleman included th- Ctio'!oii of ‘vav-oners. who did not come properly und!.r the esta blishment. - It had been stated that the last Admin:stratioe weuld have saved morn to the country had they remained in of lice; hut surely an army of 50,000 men could not h.: sent to the Contineut without creatiog a most Material ditlerence in the ex peadi tore of the year. Such statements as they had heard that night were calculated to mislead the people out of doors, with, out producing any one good consequence. Ile had made an in considerate pledge, and had token that means to set himself right with the House and the Public. The Honourable Genticeeo; bad talked of the Collection of the Revenue, tied among tithet particulars mentioned the Post-CI - lice; with respect to the in. creased erdeuditure of that eitehlishmeet, it arose from the ex tension of so great a public convenience to manyirplaces where it was not before established. As to the Customs, wt u in crease was made in that department wns made after re presentations of its necessity.. The next branch vvas the taxes; the lionaarable Gentleman had quarrelled with the regulation which permitted the receivers to retain 6tloo/. in their hands ; more they would riot be ullowed ; tile inse.nce which had beet/ quoted was rather unfOrtunate; for that person was removed from office, and liable to he pros'ecuted like an debtor of the public. When the Hon. Gentleman dwelt so long on the charge for the management of the Revenue, he did not take into account the advantage done to the pubic service. The Post-Office was a great convenience ; the Customs were an ad vantage, as enforcing the system of the Navigution Laws. As to the augmentations that took place; they Were dictated by sound policy ; it was necessary that the lower officers who were • entrusted to such an extent, should be relieved front the weight of temptation; besides, the 11 , .n. Gentleman did not reflect upon abolition of fees that had taker : place through the - king doar, which rendered mapensations bece:sary ; ieetense upon such a principle was ecor.:ony. With respect 4 o auditiry; at connts. he hoped that uo other Gentleman in h a t (louse, besides • the proposer, would agroe to mete-the politic accounts a tee. - :‘ farce. Vp,,n this subject he,wotiltl say no more; 1;e could not,. however, :void xic;precotin., and he thought the House ;as bound to del,recate also tuell . genetal stssertions; they could only serve to mislead the eeimie—a. -ertions which he did not acsi tate to pronounce destitute of coo mutt sense. He would teke upon him to say, that if the Hon. Gentleman irol,iretl, he would And the taxes of this couu'ry were cellectee with more consi &ration for the subjert than any other in the vs orld.
