Before we have had an upport i pnity of considering the evidence on which that Report was founded, I do not consider myself as pledg ed to the approval of the,recommendation PI the Committee, but I feel itincumbent on me to pay that deference to their opinion, to suspend any judgment. until I have had as opportunity of coml. dering the.grouads of the Repore."

At length• ,i.t. he fixed upon airestatticalled, as he•was informed, ..Chidliam, in feassex, and gave direliiimerto his agent So. sell oat a; much money in the funds o within a few hundreds, as , would be equal .to the• soul required, The person who lived on and farmed the estote, and. .airho was said to have made a deal of 'money on it, resolved to purchase it himself, acid hide a much larger price than was offered by Sir 'llionois's agent.. The-mcoey thus sold ont heing thus rendered use less, Sir Thomas gave direflion to hi: agent to invest .the money *guilt, which was accbrdinglo done. .11e at the same time @elect his agent to sell out again, whenever Ise should have reason to think that the ftuids were likely to be depressed. The agent, in • ptirsuaree of the instruftions accordingly, and find ing the storks to fall 'on Saturday se'nnight, and to have experienced a still greater depression on •Mon day, sold out the same stock lie had before invested when the purchase of the estate was no longer in question. He then read a copy of the affidavit of the agent, in which he stated that he :Vied in porno. since of instroftions given him several months pre. viously to his selling oat the money—that he would convert it, into cash whenever he *hand the funds sinkiug, or to hi; apprehension likely to tall. That Capt. Frowlosidge knew nothing of his having done Sc', till he himself communicated it to him, and that he had always power to do the same, and aft in a similar mariner, at his own discretion, Ca pt. Matta. nast then remaiked, that lie was not h imself very conversant w:thtiae buiintsi of the Stock Exchange, but he could not conceive any other method there was for stock-holders giving instruetion to their agents. Were Sir 'l'. Trowbridge disposed to abuse his (uncial advantages, lie needed not confine himself to the sum sold out, as Ise had a great deal more money in the funds, and considerable sums in rolit of his chil dren. What was a further proof of the innocence of his gallant and 1 lonuourable Friend was, that Mr. Cook, the broker, himself, must naturally have made the most advantage of any confidential 'communication, and have sold out to a considera ble amount ; whereas, the stock he disposed of, on his own account, did not exceed SOOOI. From the long and intineite knowledge he had of Sir T. Trow bridge's charaslor, he could not sit easy whilst that excellent and nuritorioos officer lay under any im putation. Every one in the country was acquainted with his merits and services, :ls an useful officer, and every one who knew him must be convincci of his honor, his disinterestedness, ancl his purity. He, for one, was so well satisfied with his Hon. Colleague's possessing all these qualities, in the highest perl4- tion, that he was as certain of them as of his then standing in the 'presence of his Creator. Under„ these impressions, conceiving that the least insinua , tion against such a man should have the most tho rough investigation, he should conclude , with moving " that a Conunittee be appointed to enquire into the Conduit of Capt. Sir Tho. Trowbridge, on the occasion alluded to, and to report their opinion thereon to the House." . No :Ilember rose to second thus Motion. Mr. DENT hoped, the Hon. Gentleman who spoke last would do him the justice to acknowledge,' that he had detlared to him, in a private conversa-. tion on thii suhjed, that in what fell from him in a hutidebate,lie had no intention of making the slight est alias - len to Sir Thomas Trowbridge_ 'llie state ment he Made was obviously of a general nature, without the least reference to any individual, and no one had a higher opinion than he himself entertain ed of the honour and purity of Sir Thomas Trow bridge. He said this with reference to the charac ter he always hem d of him, without having the ho nour of any personal acquaintance with that Hono and gallant Gentleman. But the remarks he on a former night made, were occasioned by his surprise ',' at the conduft of the Ministers, rho after having gaisted so much credit, and merited applause from the secrecy and caution observed in communicating . the signature or the Preliminaries of Peace, had in thcsc resoefts been so de fi cient upon the late occa- ' sion, What he nvationed of the secret of his Ma jesty's Message having transpired, iv is notorious to every 1114!) Wila had Any transaftions in the city.: But in saving what he did, he spoke generally, and, without any particular' application ; and unques ticoahly ;;il. T. Trowbridgtis char:oer stood too. high to be in any way implicated in any thing he as *tiled. The transaqions of the Stock Exchange at the time he referred to, were certainly suspicious, „ and indicated some previoua intimation from autho rity. He was cootikhnit, that every evil- would have been prevrated, if the Government had suit word at nine o'clock in the morning that press-warrants , were to be issued, instead qt the Late hour which the ' communication was made. . The CHANCELLOR of the EXCPXQUER • said, he was perfeely aware of .the irregularity of trespassing on the time of the Hottse• , when there was no question before it, but trusted that he sho tt l4 be excused, frog tho pet-mbar circumstances of the case. He was read? to enafess that the assertion of the Hoe. Gentleman, on a former debate, was ,Ine.rt:ly general; tint it was at the same time riow„ that it famished. ch.: su_hjed of conversation in every quarter of the town: The imputation agAinst Sir 'Thomas '1 rowbridge had placed that gallant man in such a situationof mental agitation that he was now an of jen of conmosseration to ail those who had a sensibility to the feelings of wound ed hollow.

The CHANCELLOR oi the Exclir.QuErt •said, that he rose in pnrsuance of .a notice be. gave on Monday lan, of moving $ - 41- a Selin.3 Committee to inquire into the set:sista% charges ttyun his Ma e jesty's Civil List. it had been his intention to have ' brought the subjeft forward before, but n-., , 5e he had reason to lejoice in the tie4y '..aving taken plarie,•as the eifea would be to put.the ;louse in possession of more correil infottnation than they could betere have had ; retelling . to 'his Majesty's Message of the Lith of .Febrtinry, ICOSI, in which the House agreed to relieve the Civil .List, which was certainly inadequate to defray the expenditure. Should:the I louse grant a Selo Committee, its principal busi rums would he to inquire into these eircumstartees, and after their report, it would be tbr the House to consider whether it would not be right to guard against any additional accumulations, such as had formerly occurred. Upon this subject be should nut pledge himself to any line of condeet or mea sure till the Committee should report wheurr the income was equal to the increasing exponditam, not arising from the household pomp or state of the's°. verei . gn dignity, but equally to other objeels of is political nature. He concluded with moving, , Th4t a Sele4 Committee be appointed to consider of thie charges On the Civil List ievenue, the salaries to ' Ministers at foreign Courts, &c. and report their opinion thereon to the House. 2dly.

Th.e ATTOR.NEY 'GENERAL rose, in conse quence of a notice given yesterday, to move for to bring in a Lill for regulating the ofticte of the Sur veyor General of his Majesty's Parks and Forests. Some of what was complained or may, be reformed by the Officers thermelves; : and he was authorised to . say, that what the Office could do would be done ; but there were other things which required Legis lative provisions And arrangements, which together with some arrangements in the office of Surveyor- General of the Crown L4nds, w0 , ,,1d be the princi pal objects of this Bill. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill, avid ' Committee appointed to prepare the same. • JRIFI Mr. ALEXANDER branglit the 'Report of the Committee on the Bill for enabling the Coro, missioners of the Treasury in Irelarai to aivanee bounties to persons enrolling themselves in the Iriih On the question for the Report being read a st. , sok! time, Mr. WINDTIAM said, that he could not zniTer a Motion cf this kimi to pass without entering a serious protest agr,inst it t and enforcirm his objec tions with some observations which might perhaps be applicable to some future erasion.. He wished to set out with stating, that he was by no means t friend to the Militia ; he had been a warm friend of it when very young, hut more experience, and mature re ficsions had altered his opinion. He was an enemy . to it in England, at least to any great extent, much more so W.IS he adverse to such an establishment in Ireland. The Gentkiwi) who were natures and best aria :nted with the rta:c of that . coentry, had lately declared thatit was impossible-to raise a.. Militia in Icelancl by ballet, and rather 'than raise it by bounty, he should nnwhyrefer not having it all. Every one knew that he was not a military man, Rscr likely to h;ye any other preference to ue ,establisment over another, except as fir as it W2C fovntied on real.opti nion.

PY,. • S ing also to order, said,-that he shotsid -bP'iorry xo hear the Right Hon. Gentleman siOpped in the iterge of his obserr vatic:fp. He had entered into 4 discession of topics, and a strain of remarki, in not. one of which he (Sir Wm .) agreed with him, but he was desirous that he-mtght be suffered to'proteo without iiirther in n terruptipn. . . .. Mr. , WINDHAM, in explaaatinn, said, that hi* observations went to state the disadvantages of a force merely ddensire ; the only arguments he had heard in favour of the Militia was, that it was a constitutional force, and that it called 'forth the energy and resources of. melt of tontine. But are we to depend barely pn deiensive measures ? Are 'we to live from band to mouth ? Are we not to look to the future, and. adopt measures cilculated for the future ;' if we did riot, the •C;overrmeni 9f this country would be ruined. He objeCted to the Militia as it stood in point of facte but much more so, as it would be established in consequence of the measure preposed by the ion. Gentleman ; for as to a constitutional force, that distinectien would be entirely done away by the system of bounties. Anoe ther *reason in favour Of t i tle - Militia was stated to be economy, by having it in our,powor to contintie a force in time c.O peace at a very little expense. But will any cite say that economy should he con sidered at a period so big with danger as the pre : - sent ? In :peaking of the Militia, he did not mean to cletraCt from its merits,.he believed it was brought to as high a state of perfeCtion as it was capable of attaining to, but as- a Military instrument he con contended it Was inferior to a regular force. fie withed to know what advantage' We could derive by giving bounties to militia-men? A soldier would npt enter a regular regiment as long as a bounty was offered for a militia-man, and stating the bounty for the regolar infantry at present to be six guineas per man, and the bounty proposed by.this measure at foniguineas per man, "he would contend, that the value of a regular, over a militia soldier, was more to the country than two guineas per man. lie would rather give eight guineas to a regular soldier than four to a militia-roan ; and his great obje.tion to the present measure was this, that it cut up the recruiting-service, and at a very little ad ditional expellee we may have a disposable force for foreign service. A s to t h e p resent measure a , recruiting for the Militia, it abandons every idea of the coestitutional sy•:erri, as much as. a canal draws water From the oxiginal channel. It was in the highest degree injudicious, and if his opinion was. cotwolted, he would advise raising regular reit , ments instead. He allowed, that it was maturat for mensu have an attachment to their oven works ) , and, certainly, •Genelernen connected with the Mili tia had brought it to the highest degree of perfec tion (as he e:zprts s ed hi mse lf hefote) that it .was ca. pattle of attaining to. ,T4a Right Hon.
