- - - Kent or Seise: districts, although of the ssemolt importance. On the Home Staff there had been hardly any retrenchment, aithoogh this was the department most objectionable. Officers, were often put on the Staff who were completely in efficient, •nd held the station as sinecures. It •was often supposed, that instead of selecting Ge nerals for districts, the districts were appointed for the convenience of favourite Generals, whose head-tlurrters were at the places they wished to live at. Mr. CALCRAFT thought that on the home district there sbould have been a saving much mere considerable than in the redaction of one Major. General, He was afraid that the Right Honour. able Gentleman (Mr. Perceval) found something in that Staff which he had not power to remove. Mr. WARDLE said, that in considering this expenditure, he by no means meant to blame par. ticularly the present Administration, as the. Fame profusion prevailed under the last, and he was afraid would continue as long as a system of cor. ruptlost was acted upon. When the enormous es. •timates for barracks had been formerly voted ,(which had altogether cost the country near 13 ,'asilliens) it was said that they would cause a dimi nution in the expense of the Staff. This diminu tion, however, had not taken piece. It was also said that the Barrack establishment would provide for many half-pay Officers, but instead of that, the dppoikments were given to the favourite ter. vents of those in power. He didetiot conceive the present was a fair estimate, as it slid not notice either the Volunteer Staff or the Ordnance Staff. The Staff expence for the home service was now nearly as great as when we had a great part of our population under arms, and our armies at home. The House seemed now aware el what AC had been calleel a Jacobin last year for stating, that every economy should be practised, that slid not interfere with the efficiency of the army. He should ask, why these very lucrative situations were to be heaped on one individual (General Brownrigg). lie was Quarter-Nlaster.General, for.which he received above 41. a day; he had a . regiment of two battalions, the 9th foot, which 'was at least 16001. per annum, and then he was put upon the staff, at an expellee of about 1300 t. a year more. The Adjutant-General was also put upon the staff. lie conceived that both these men had sufficient appointments without gutting their appointments•on the staff as a sinecure. lie said there was atfiarge of about 41. for each re -1 cruit t ► the smelting staff. This charge appeared to him unreasonable. He conceived the estimates much higher than there, was occasion for. Gen. HOPE stated the length of service of the lalarter-Master-General and of the Adjutant- General ; and that there had been a promise to them of being pet on the Stair if any other Gene ra's were added to it. General TAR LETON expressetl his opinion that no diminution ought to take place in the ca valry, which he thonght was among our best means of defence. Mr. P. IzIOORE defended the late Achninistea. whose system of economy went on the ge l led scale of con6uing the expenditure of the country within its income. : • • An Amendment was moved to take off from the estimate proposed the sum of 88861., being then'_ pence of the two Generals on the home Staff, who were conceived to be quite unnecessary. The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER .hoped the Committee would not supdose • that the present A.dininistrstion had been more.,pircrfuse in this respect that, those who preceded. them, "and , saw no reasonable objection to the'estiniate before the Committee. Mr. WHITBREAD animadverted upon the practice of the Right Hon. Gen'tleman, when he could derive no arg*ment from his own deeds, in referring to the deeds of his predecessors in office. Bet all that the Right Hon. Gentleman hail said, as to the comparative number of General Offifers at the various periods to which he referred, had nothing to do with the question, which was simply whether two full Generals were necessary to be employed in the Home District. He was .y ready as the . Right Hon. Gentleman to agree to any thing that might contribute to do honour to his Majesty; but he must contend that it was nut necessary that the Officer employed. to bear the gold stick, should be a full General, or of high rank, or, even an Officer on the Staff. He was convinced too, that if the matter were to be re. presented to his Majesty, he would not -consent to the appointment of an Officer of either description with the additional pay. There were no full Generals on the Staff in the year 1 . 806. Neither the Duke of Cambridge nor Lord Heathfielei had any duties to perform, entitling them to their re spective salaries of 40001. per annum ; so that, 'in fact, they enjoyed sinecerei 'to, thc _sursoorte of 10,0001, a-ydii. The Iloti. Gentleman also ob jected to the placing of the Adjutant and Quarter. Masters. General upon the Staff, with an augment ation'of pay from 5001. to 16001. per annum ; and upon all the grounds he had stated, was in. dined to-vote for the Amendment. Sir G. WARRENDER explained. Mr. lIVSKISSON begged to recal the recollec tion of the House to the relative situation of the country itulBos, when the whole military force of France was upon the coast, and In 1806, when it was withdsawn to a 'distance of 4 or 500 miles from the coast. The Honourable Gentleman then went into a defence of hi; own consistency. The in.. fluence of the Crown, so much talked of, he contended was counterbalanced by the popular in. fluence arising from the increase of nealth, and the general diffusion of knowledge. Sir. T. TURTON and Mr. Hosaissow severally explained. Captain PARKER Thought his Majesty's Ministers right id whartijey meant to do as to the Staff of theA ruiy.

"P RI SONERS OF W. 411. Lord UMland's first tnotiotir 4. on ttrurtday, March 22, to address his Majslaty for— Copies of all correspondence which may have passed between the Transport, or any other department of Govern ment, and any other persons authorized to treat on the part of the Government of France, respect ing the exchange of prisoners of war since the Ist of ept. 1809. Also a statement of all communicating. mate by the Transport Board, or the Chair* men thereof, either to the Board of Admiralty, or to the First Lord Commissioner, respecting an exchange 'of pri soners of war between Great Britain since the Ist of Septem ber; and also copies of all official letters which have passed between the Adinirialty and Transport Board, relative to an exchange of prisoners of war, since the Ist of September last. PROTEST. Ist, Because the long period of time which has elapsed since the,commencemeett of hostilities, without the ettablish meld of a cartel for the exchange of prisoners between Great Britain And France, has been a cruel aggravation of the ca. lamitiesof war, and is a disgrace to the age in which we live. _ _ . Ydly, Because it Irks -been repeatedly asserted in French publication+, and is distinctly stated in a paper published by ratborit v of the Preach Governaneat, and purporting to be a dispatch from the Duke of Cailore to Baron Ruell, Minister 'of Foreign A fain in Holland, bearing date the 24th of .1 atm ary,. 1811.), that the &florets( proposals for appointing Coin nsissioners to treat of regeneroi exchange of prisonersat *or- Wt. v)as to he attributed to his Majesty's Ministers; and such assertions and statements have hitherto remained no contradkted. idly, Because a charge of inhumanity, so solemnly and publicly preferred, seemed to us to call for an early and satis factory refutation, if fate; for tilts strict and severe punish ment of his Majesty's Ministers, if trite and whether, for the purpose of vindicating our characterns a Oaf iOll from the foul aspersion of our enemy. or of convicting those who, by their counsel- 5 or neglect of ditty, have exposed us to them, Als MAIO 'KM of the information prayed fur in the Address, einuseti lobe propoeuseasonabk, and necessary.

PROTEST. Ist, Because the only arguments which, in the previous de. bate. had been urged against the pmdsclion of nil Corres pondence between the Agents of the French Government/and the Transport Board, respecting nn exchange of prisoners, could n o t apply to an Address for the commtuticatioo of the dates of such Correspondence. The Rossible inconveniencies restilOng from a-disclosure of particular topics in discussion, and the apprehension of dis turbing, by such disclosure, the progress of a negociatina stated t ► be yet pending, appeared to have. influenced the Hassell) their decision on the former occasion t but a motion for the commtwication of dates, if acceded to, could have led to no di,elosore of particular', nor by any possibility have interrupted the progress of any negociation. Id, Because the production of the dates of the corres pondence referred to, might have been soffeient to vindicate his Majesty's Governmeot from the odious imputation of neglect, by affording is proof that the failure of a plan for estaMishing a cartel. bad arisen front no delay in answering the propus.ils of the French Government on the subject. Because his Majesty's Ministers having resisted the pro dueihm of the dates of the several papers and communications referred to, sserecalied upon in the course of dehnte to dis claim any delay in auswertnitbe proposals of the French veronica. and they distinctly refits: 11 to make any deciara ti us. that no suck delay hAd ocenrred. 4t ,iy, Rev:use his Majeity's Ministers, called ppott in the course of debate to pledge themselves to the future produc tion of the correspondence or date) thereof, whenever t h e . w .. gociation stated by them to be peodiug. should be finally clo-ed, gave no such pledge, and returned DO answeV whatever to the question so pointedly addressed to them.

Because the appointment of a Secret Committee was the only remaining mode of proceeding, was net liable to the objections urged against former motions on the subject. wa consonant to the usage of Parliament, and expressly sanction ed by a recent precedent directly in point. ' A Cnmuuttee having ben nppoinied by the House of Com mons in li9B, examined and considered the treatment of French prisoners in this country, the causes' that bad led In the suspension of a cartel, and the negociations which had taken place between Ike two Governments upon the subject. They reported thereupon, and tit the instance of the Wale of Commons, their report was eurnmunscated to all States in amity with Great-Britain, for the purpose of giving a public and solemn relhiation of the calumnies iudustciously circulated in the publications of the enemy. 241 Y, Because the rejection of the only remaining mode of proceeding seemed to us to imply h determinations to resist all investigatton of a transaction in which the character of the country and the interests of bunianity were deeply involved ; and as we cmild.not disguise front ourselves tie impression which l imit be produced on the public, and on Europe,. by the silence of Milliners and thedettga of .tiw-hionsm-wirt & Rep asisi•inn‘ter messed 111111 bur solemn protest, ngtsiast the rejection of all inquiry into the truth of a chtsrge which those implicated - in it have neither attempted to refute by evidence or argument, nor ventured to repel by a distinct and simple contradiction of the allegations on which it is founded.

I think that if the plac e h a d b een reverted assailable, an e'er tine might have been mad e f or th e troo p s t o have arrived by the 6th at night, and th a t o f course the assault wodid have beeu immediately made. When you Wile that the army might have been before the place on the Pith, with the heavy artillery.for a boinbarduzent, is it your Opinion that the hoinbardineett could have beencion menced on the night of the Bth ? The bombardment might have commented the moment the mortars could have been placed in their beds. Rave you been yourself in the neighbourhood of Antwerp, and when? 1 was at Antwerp in 1794. . In what military situation were you at the period you wereat Antwerp in 1794? I was Deputy Quarter-Master- General to the British army. From your recollection of the ground, and particularly of the suburbs of Antwerp, do you conceive operations could have been commenced against the town a ithnut the necessity of breaking ground at a distance and proceeding by regular approaches ? There is a very considerable suburb on the road leading to Breda, which is the side upon which we should have approached Antwerp, under cover of which I ma milliard to think that batteries for cannon might have • been established a akin the distance of. six hundred yards, without regular approaches being made fur that purpose. When you state that the army might have been before Antwerp with the necessary means for as bombardment upon the Stb, upon what scale of ordnance is your calculation founded ? The proportion of inortant and guns would have depended upon the Ju dgm en t o f the &beer commanding the artillery and the etsimmutding engiueer ; but 1 slioula con ceive, as fief as my humble jiMgintist goes, that about an equal proportion ut mortaps and grins, mot I should have imagined likewise that about thirty pieces of hear.) ordnance world have been hs many as our means would have enabled as ,t) carry up in the time me n tioned. • What espeetatien - of reduriui the town of Antwerp by orb an attack obs'you have now de-cnbetithe British army 'would have had the means of making,thaidd you have cut.

Might not such an altiiiiit upon the town of Antwerp have i been materially assisted by tile use of tae rockets tout at -1 tendeil theoriny ? I had an opportunity of eeenig these rocs 1 kets used at Fluihing ; th e y certainly are very tiemendims in their appearance, and alarm considerably • those agninst whom they are directed, and unquestionably would set hie to any combustible substance they met with. Supposing the•town of Antwerp in the paseassiona of the Britt'' arms ; would it, in your judgment , have been practi cable under the protection 4 the homes to have taken 111C41111 for destroying the arsenals and the ships of war building on toe slips at Antwerp, notwithstanding any opposition that could be reasonably expel ted Irons the Citadel ? We cotild only have pbssewed owrselves of a part of Antwerp, that part which was Wilder the immediate influence of the Citadel of course we could not have possessed; but I do ronecjve that f under cover of the buildings we might have established guns that Would have borne upon the ships on the stocks toad nese , nal, which in probability would have succeeded in destroying the z realer part of them ; when oace a eitudagration tout place, it is to be presumetit would have spread. Suppoilag the communication between the town and the arsenal to be open, would it not have been pra, ticahle at night, without exposing the troops to any very see tetury from the fire of the Citadel, to have carried all des. rile ions of materiall for setting fire to the ships, and to have applied them etlectually for that pun; se ? I understand Na it the Ar senal is surrounded by a wall, and therefore I do cmiceive it would have been ditficult to have desttoyed it by those moans ; I taink the only chaiwe we had ofiOstrosing it was lis how beets, shells. and rockets; I doubtorehetaer we shosds have heritable to have approached it so near as to have done it by 11111111. • If the wall to which you allude is a wall hot erected for purposes of defence, but to prevent pillage of the materials i ill tne Arsenal, could there /lave been any dilllculty by the fire of 'al ['fiery in vetting that wall so as ‘ii gtse to toe truth's a free acce-s to the Arsenal I No doubt artilfery wit de stroy any brick wall or moderately stone wait : hut I Iniiik the object might have beet, faceted ....,0 rauut haviing recourse to shame menus, After several questionirespecting the'state of Antwerp, the Taloa ing were put : Upon the whole. did yea consider the town of Antwerp as a respectable fortification. eras &large populous city wOn a rampart mid ditch, which had in a military sense Wiest into neglect i Certainly in the stale I saw Antwerp it could not be called a respectable fortification—fir from it. Supposing the army had cimrinued in health, do you eon conceive that the disembarkation of the army might base been elected y ou the 25th of Allgl4lit, near Saluvliet, wituout prejudice to its safety from any force the etiealy might have urought itgainst it in the held ? Ido think, ant) indeed . Fain sure, that -- if the array shad been in a state to have acted against the enemy on the 45th of August, it would have•beca landed, and I should not have twee appreheusive that ihe sufe:y of it would have been risked. Are you of opini ~,,, or have yin, reason to know, that if the army had then been in a healthy state, it would have beet the deteriniaition of the Commander in Chief to land the army, with it view to open the Scheldt by the seduction of Litho and Liefkenslieeik, if Sir Richard Strarhan had required such an aid from the army ? I have no doubt but that such an at tempt would have been made. .. Vith what prospect of seeress dorm conceive that such an attempt might have been made upon the 25th, suaposing the army had been then in a completely effective state, and in perfect health ? Reckoning confidently, as I do, upon the gallantry and spirit of enterprise of the nayy and the artily, I entertain it sanguine belief that we might have sticceedea in taking Liefbenshneik, and probably Lillis, which would have opened the Scheldt for the wiry, and 'Died have led to tin- . portant consequences. 1 What was your opinion previously to !ceiling, as to the er. Mability of the success of the Expedition, according to the originally projected plan, and the information received ? ' The accomplishment of all the objects of the Expedition ap pared to me to be from the first itoulaul, because they ight tonally depended upon the state of the winds mid weather to have enabled us to have entered the Scheldt; bat I. run et opinion, that if Cadsand had been in, our possession, and we hat reached Sandyliet by the Sd of August, there would have been a very fair prospect of maces'. • LTo whatetatioalla .
