Lord C4•II.EREAfiI entered into a defence of the milittry, and obsersed, that lie was al a loss to conceive tin whist ground it was, that licistlemen °tithe other side of the House took every opportunity of "calumniating the character of the army, who ware cltiims as well as any other blanch of his Majesty's sub jects, and equally anbject to the chit power, which they had, Miring the late contest, shed their blood copiously to support, 'llsoNohle Lord concluded by MIK ing the previous question. Mr. Rolston...an said, that of late there hail been a visible disposition in a certain quarter to employ the military ; he did riot mean to say the Noble Lord felt that inclination.; it existed in another (punter ; and therefore, it was more necessary the Dome should look with a jealous eye to the rittlijectis.

He moved "to repeal the wink of the Duties affecting Horses used in Agriculture." Mr. (hoot obje , 2t.cil to the pi iiiciple of the Ttfit altogether, -aod thought a Tax on Salt or Candles might be resorted to iu .lien. Mr. VANSITTARTSLIICiI his objection to the Atilenilment.

What would the House. think, if a tax was proposed an looms and other machinery in 1 the manufactories. Itivaecoutrary to all principles of sound Sir E. KM/VIC/MULL and Sir C. BURRELL *nosed the tax, as most oppressive ; and iecominended a tax oil luxuries, such as pleasure horses, ratli,r than ciithe industry of the country. Sir J, MAJOAIIIASK% opposed the tax.

Isom Sir J: Mirserostt, after urging the unconstitutionality of:ap propriating the French Contributions, annouutius to airmit .7,014,0001. as Bruits of the Crown,. inoved six Resolutions,. •hettiog forth, that the application of sueli moue) by the Croon, without the interference or approbation of Parliament, was not warranted by the practices of the Constitution. The Cue sera.t.on of the Csrairour it said, the Hon. and Learned Gent. had been obliged to admit that, in a legal point of view, Government were justified in the IliStriblllloll of the monies; hut lie had not 11141IC .14 proper distinction beiS% (1•11 the payment of monies before the sigiiiiig of the Treaty, and those paid alter the signature of Peace. It wan clear, that mimics paid before were booties of war, and were recognized, as jure belli—the disposition, therefore, was legally correct: t it her as applied to tat erection of a monument to the List Hr the: }louse of Stuart, or for any other purpose, if paid before the Treaty was signed. Undoubtedly, the monies paid since the Peace were paid to the nation fur indemnity for the losses and expences incurred during the war. Those 71sonies were certainly subject to the review 411 Parliament, the Crown being bound to apply them wisely ; and if not so the appli eation was subject to enquiry. He concluded with autving the precious question ; which was carried, without a division. Sir I!. Mulcts railed the attention of the House to (lie sob jeet of certain Estimates in Northumberland, Oze. the property ot Gi eta's% ich Hospital—in the collection and expendituie of which various abuses had existed. He concluded by moving —" That a Committee be.appointed to inquire into the , C;11 . 1:ei of the diderence bell een the gross and net proceeds of the F-tates of Greenwich llaspital, iu the counties of Cumberland, Northumberland, and Durham." Mr. Ccieui Eft opposed the motion ; which was negatived by 93 against 34.—Adjourned till Friday. FRIDAY, MAY 17. TIT INKS OF THE HOUSE. ..... • Lord Ctsrt.ta KAG rt, in moving that the House should at its rising adjourn to Monday next, hoped that on that day they would be gratified by seeing a distinguished and gallant officer receive in person the Thanks of the IIOWP. It would be :is it were the winding up of the debt of gratitude, which they et er evince,' an anxiety to discharge to their meritorious defenders. now that the tumult of war had subsided. and the temple of dauns had been closed by the hand of Peace. 'floe gallant officer had frequently receivt d the Thanks of the House, as communicated by the Speaker's letter; but having been only lately elected a Member, lie had never obtained them in per son. He hoped that the Speaker would have no objection to WalVe the strictness of form on that occasion, and grati* what he fill assured was the wish of the House... _ IWe understand that the Noble Loid alluded to Sir Lowry Cole.] The SPEAKER said, that in ortlitit.ry cases he should fed himself precluded from lii.til:ing that duty, in consequence of the length of time that Lid elapsed since the period of the gal lant General's service% on the continent. On the present oc casion, however, he should most cheerfully gratify the wishes of the House. GAME L VIVA. Sir IL Rotent.v rose to move for Returns connected wilt the consideration of the Game Laver:, to which h' waa.contident no object Mit could be made. The Game Laws wore intimately interwoven with the Criminal JoirisprodulteP of the Country, and considerably affected the moral character of the lower or ders of society.-r(llsar, kur.)—As motitm fi r their re% ision would Rh ,rtly M• mad:. to ths. !bow., die was dowiroo , to sheiv the great niters of per.ons who were at present suffering under their operation..
