The Statesman. — London, England, 1810-03-15 00:00:00

Till?. STATESMAN 1. , . some ; but it, wonl4 not seem so to any who considered, that since the French Revolution the syateits of war hail been completely changed, and the employment of artillery of the very first consequence ; it was, indeed, owing to the expo. dition and skill of their artillery, that the French over G er mans olnained the atlvanges they did. In support of this opinion, he hail only to quote the knout authority of the late Duke of Richmond. The estimate, 4th respect to gunpowder, bad. been objected to ; but the fact was, it was consi. dend necessary to retain materials for making this ankle, coal to ensure a supply for seven years to the country: When he propelled this increase at brat, there was only, a supply of two years stock in hands. The Hon. Gentleman conrledeil, by es- Vesting his hope, that the moneY already granted "fur the worksat Dover would be sufficient fur their . completion. • . - . M. CA (.CRAFT repeated his former objec. lions ; and after commenting on the gaunt expense of Cumberland Muse, expressed his opinion that the practice Of hiring hones by contract might and •piyekt to he done away with altogether. • Mr. SMITH sail it seemed to be the intention r; Gowernmeal, like rick. men, .to lay in. a store au every thing which might by any possibility .14 wanted; not,• like. turn of °economy, to' spy 10 Ciennelves, f' Can we by any possibility geoid ibis . eitikence." [Mar hear n He rose chiefly from his local knowledge. of ‘Voolwich, to make some remarks nn the expencc and utility of the works now carrying on there : 700,0001. ho ob. served was the estimate • for ',tricots buildings car 7 . rying on ia that quartet. He could. positively state, so fa: from this being. necessary, that the Works there were a common jest Nike whole neigh. bouvhood. He bail heard them ridiculed* within ,thas very walls of the arsenal, about which he scarcely ever roile without obrerviag some new piece of architecture. The land which lay on the side of the Thames bad. been, he declared, pur thaeed byGrivernment at it such above ten times its value ; and this purchase.was nut more to be con. alms:tied than was the expenditure of 20,0001. on a wharf. He said rhea much on a subject with which he was locally acquainted, because he knew those estimates were now (not, as formerly, con. fined to the ilouse)`canvassed by the country. He hoped every Member would also examine . them, and expreasifis opinion on those with which• he was' aripraintiii, ile.could not sit derNTI %it h. out ai : i deolaring, that the bui:ding. at Wool , isichveera.partieulariy tibjettslafdisgust. • .Mr, WARDLE rose, not . for; the purpose of eanvasbingeach individual estimate., but of remark jog ou the eatire mass as it stood before him. lie confessed.* had. sortie hope 'that a retrenchment (aild have taken place, from the declaration of .„.. opposite, last session, that • .4 le a saving this year of .a million and An i rtensiflle diminution had now indeed ,tare ; but if any one took the trouble of a,njuinq, would sec that it was but osteOsi-y b saving hadAreetemaile only by using old* . roves, ; but ;witty new estimate, a real di. visienVon" by nu ireans solicited.

A close inquiry into those . estimates watt view ressciatially'necessary, portico leriat'as pny account of the eKinmiliture was to be', . refused hereafter. lie hoped, however, the day ;rhea the jlouso would have a full and fair at.' coati* of the expenditure of every sum voted foe. .the public service was not far distant. To shew the.alfccted mieutriless of 'the present estimates, he had..utily to, refer to two items, Which ho bad acei. densally obverveti.,• The first was the estimate of Oho ee'pheasait Cumberland Fort, in which a pegay. wat .seeleulaiod ;. and the neat was for a fortification at G m ipart,,estimate4 at 36001. mid rixpence.[lleite] This two really ao ludicrous, that it did hot de. save a serious - comment. The tame of the Hun. Gentleman fur the enortneus estimate of 6000 ar. finery horses, was, that indeed they were neces sary in .order to train and exercise the drivers ! This, surely, could .he done just as effectually by . 100 horses. pear !) Last Session he hid moved fur the gontingent expellees of thif Drivers Corps; and . thongb Iris niotiois bad been agreed to, they had nut as yet been laid upon the table. Ile had heard they amounted to 6 or 70001. annual. ly. The Waggon Contracts he had also eaves. • "cal jl s disapprobation of; and _it would be in. ' • ereditele, if the 'mount lad nut been taken from the vslia , Ves of the years thumwlves, that the con. • two, for *hips waggon tioisionfc.r firer years had footnoted 674;0001. Comparing this year with she former year in this catimate, a reduction .of 40,0001. did, (tinged, appear; but this was cum. peesmed for in the ; rimy. AteXixstitiskic, by na•od.. dition of • 30,0001. I,l'e was -informed, that if re , port had reaitheib the Ordnance, concerning these • y •ry. horses, and that a person had.been in tonse q.neuce sent on an investigation, bat thathenever had made his report s and there the , business was all.iwed to end. complaint was, that many . pf the horses had been taken from the public., be mii.-ss to be employed en the - farm of Mr. Wel. ling, and sent duo u fur inspection on the days of simmer. pear, hear!] estimates with re. epee' to 1 relmol, h sa w that the contingencies of this '1 rain, aad of other• corm, were included, though the expellees of these other corps were after Wards Introduced in the Army. Estimates. In the con. tingenciet of , the Irish A riplety,,between the years 1808 and 1809, he obsersed a dilferenc.e of ,b„.. 70001. the reason of which he coald• by no /ovens' comprehend. There was slap anothec circumstance which, he confessed,' perplewil 10 6 alcullttiOn ; it was, that there were in Vi v i l ion • nut 2,400 hrtillery.mctl, and in fog os,oool 411. d yet else year the eapencto • of Ole In Ireland amounted tot half us ' 1 . much as the eapeneel cif the artillery in Eng .. hod, Ile shoi4il be glad to hear this aerounled 110 number of horses, too, in 'lreland, were ite It the a 1 ,9 1 .. 11'P:2 IPSI. ho Cpatl 1) M Of(frsj”d i;• . . t:. ~ ~ 10,0001. was to be demanded for an increase of them, yet he saw that the estimate for forage fur this year was lessehan for last year, which ap peared unaccountable, if the number of horses was the same. As long, however, as the head of 44 unprovided for" was allowed to remain in the Estimates, any charge, either as to forage or any • thing else, might be introduced, At Waltham Abbey the sum of 101,0581, was estimated for powder mills for four years. Now he could by no means see the necessil of any such expence. The French and Germans, it was well known, used barns or any other temporary building for the manufacture of powder ; and every body knew 'what an effectual use was made of W— ile admitted, indeed, that lie had hear the fo reign powder was . not so good a! ours.— d [llear: hear ri—lp these estimates it was the custom to vote large sums under the - head of different buildings ; and yet a sweeping cearge was made for these afterwards, as for the " defence of the country." ( Hear ! hear !) Various charges were included under this bead, which bad been made before under the head of depots, fortitica. tions, &c. Sec. Fur four years, indeed, comment. ing at l/eO7, 4,193,000 1 . had been voted for build lags, _repairs, &c. (" Ammunition included," from the Minitterial Bench.) No, said Mr. War inert for buildings and depOts ; next year, it would . he. en- goubt in the same proportion. As to 'the minuteness of, the Estimates, it signified very little Wieetbeielbsy were minute or not, as any mistake might easily be obeiated, so long as the ,head of " Chlprovided for" was allowed to continue, - He hoped these were the last Estimates in which such an head would be allowed to be brought before the House ; and he hoped also, that an account of the expouleore of every sum voted at the Es timates would hereafter be produced. Ile was sure there could be no difficulty in the computa tion, as it would be much easier to give an account of how the money had been expended, than .to make out an abstruse estimate in the beginning. . • Mr. A. COOPER said, that the House were not to understand by the term " unprovided for," that there was to be no account .given. Ile al. 1 lowed, that with respect to land purch ased in the neighbourhood of Woolwich, the price was ex orbitant, but it was extorted from the public ne. eessity. The land was absolutely necessary for the range that was required for the artillery. As to the increase which the Hon. Gt. took notice of in the corps of drivers, it proceeded from a mistake in the estimate of last year, when the number was stated at 5000, whereas it was really 5,600. The ex pence, however, had not been increased except hi giving. increased allowances. The Honourable Cent. appeared to him to confound the draught horses for the artillery with the contract horses. The contingencies of the artillery in Ireland in. chided the contingencies of the horse artillery, the corps of engineets, and ell other corps connected with the Ottlnancee When, the Honourable Gentleman complained of the expence of the pow. der.mills at Waltham Abbey, he should have re collected the period of the American war, when Government powder was proverbially , bad.— Bad as it wao,• we were then entirely dependent for a supplylupon the merchants. Even at the time of Lord Nelson's celebrated victory, the'stock of gunpowder was so small, that the Ordnance could have hardly issued enough. for another battle of the same sort, and were absolutely obliged for a time to suspend their penes, in the expectation of a scarcity. This was a fact, which it would have been dangerous to the public service to have been stated at that time; but the evil was now, in a gritat measure, corrected. The Hen. Gent. had spoken of the practice of the French to make the powder in barns. If he would take the trouble to examine the works at Waltham Abbey, he would find that we also use, for that purpose, many build ings that resembled barns. Under the general head of" the Defence of the Country," was included the expence of building batteries and martello towers along the coast. .And as to the sum voted far building_ and repair tog depots, it had lately been judged necessary to have a large quantity -of ar tillery and aromnait ion in depot, to guard against iiitaeion,.or unforeseen contingency. Mr. W. !eel ITH said, that as it was impossible for (i (memo) on his side of the House to have the same means of information on this subject as the Gentlemen on the other, their objections must coma from chat appeared on the face of the Es timates. It happened that he had made some ole. servations respecting the works at Waltham Al). bey, as he passed by them once or twice every week. Ile was really astonished at hearing that they cost 100,0001. fur there was nothing about them which appeared to require such an expellee. Ile was afraid that there was, in no instance, a sufficient check on the expenditure ("he public money ; and the public generally paid ten, twenty, or even thirty per cost. more than indiiiduale, for the settle work. Ile remembered, that when those works at Waltham Abbey were going for. , -weed, • bee _-w ere perpetually - ' threatened ' .by 'his workmen that they would leave bint,_ and go to Waltham Abbey, where they would be sure' to get whatever they chose to ask. When Go vernment also consented to give a sum of 12,0001. for 45. acres of ground near Woolwich, they sub- meted to what apecared to him a most extortion ate demand. Nuw he could not perceive any reason for this. They might have either 'pur chased at a fairer price other ground nearly as eligible ; or if this particular piece of ground was necessary, there were means to which the public might have recourse to purchase it at a fair and reasonable price.- An expencu of 12,0001. had also been incurred, in purchasing the lease of a house to be fitted up fur the Secretary of the Ad miralty. This appeared also to be a profuse waste of the Public money. The purchases of wood in the last four years appeared enormous ; as did also the money perpetually expended fur building store. houses, and quarters for officers at Woolwich. This anionnted to no ; less than 422,0001 in the four last years. l appeared to him that the leads of the Orthiance had acted on no settled system, but according to their own caprice, e hick we e too much -indulged. He remembered thel e. hem the late Duke 'of Rich Mend brought in 110 r lee brated plan of fortification fur all England it was .. .. ' . supported by Government and by so many gen' tiemen in that House, that it was only by the casting voice of the Speaker that the country was Own saved from a most enormous burden ; and he believed, that if the whole expence of the Martello Towers had been stated to Parliament at once, they would hardly have agreed to the present extension of them. He was afraid that lir no department of the Government was there a suffi ciently strict hand over the expenditure, and-that in every item of the expenditure there was a con sideration of gain to some iedividual. In one stance a man had been dismissed from an afire, and yet received a pension of six or seven limultnel a year, which was calculated on emoluments that were at the time not se )posed to be fair. It was high time that the country should now see that the Pause did attend to public economy, and ,tot merely to keep up the Government by the influ ence which contracts and jobs procured. The 110C100 who was allowed to defraud the country in a small instance et ould be thus prevented from giving informations against persons committing great kbuscs. They would conceive themselves parties concerned, and as a sort of cyrit de corps would prevent them from detecting greater abuses. Bethought, therefore, that too much publicity could not be - given .10 every Atari of public ex-, pegilitgreous vgbficity Ass the befit rc!ncdy for abases.' Mr. WELLESLEY PALE 'agreechwith the Hon. Gentleman who spoke that tweneniye slight abuses would lead to the• comiehsion of Vie greatest. It appeared to hile,ffinwever, that tlut' (lon. Gentles en had directed his animadversions more against the'manner iu which the Ordnance had been managed for many years than on the Es timates of the present year. As to the expenditure whiCh took Wave on the works at Waltham-abbey, it was in consequence of a survey, by which it appeared that the supply of gunpowder was alto gether insufficient. The' average 'expenditure of gunpdssaler in war, was from 50 to 60,000 barrels yearly, whereas they possessed at that time in the stores only 1.1,000 barrels, applicable to all man ner of service., both by sea and land. The battle of the Ist of June alone expended 5000 barrels of gunpowder. It was, therefore, necessary to in crea,4: the supply. Government then both called upon the r s erchants'f or a supply up to the extent, of their powers, and also thought it their duty to have powder-miNs of their own. In such an ex tretnity he thotieht it was not too much to expend • 100,0001. for the defence of the country. The works of Waltham Abbey, which at first preduced . but 10,000 barrels annually, now produced 22,000 annually, of the best powder in Europe. Ile felt it necessary to describe these works a little. There had been introduced by Colonel toegreve a very great improvement in the mode of dressing • powder, which was now done by steam, 'and in a much safer method thin formerly wax used. This apparatus was of course expensive, and au ex pensive building was erected for the purpose. There was a melting-house, in consequence of a new discovery, for refining saltpetre. The corn ing-houses were expensive, being tilled with mill machinery of the nicest mechanism. There had been lately erected houses fur dressing powder at Portsmouth and Plymouth, which were found of great advantage to the navy. He altowed,.that he had, in the erection of the works at Waltham Abbey, directed Major Mencaster to proceed .with the utmost expedition, and not to be stopped by expence. This, however, •appeared to him to be proper directions at the tinter and under. the I circumstances he had stated. Ho could not avoid justifying the general arrangements of kisdearfriend Lord Chatham, whom no one could ever haveserved under without loving hint. When his Lordship catre into the Ordnance, he found ‘Voulwich without' covering for stores, and it therefore became nem: sary te erect many buildings. It had before that time been always obse;veul, that the Ordnance r was a mouth behind every other department when an Expedition was preparing. .This was a sufficient excuse fur remissness .in the other depart. ments. Lord Chatham, however,. had, by his different arrangements, corn mutely dune away this reproach upon the Ordnance, and now a very few daj s were sufficient to do every thing which de pended on the Ordnance. As much could be dune at present in three dap, as would formerly oc cupy a month ; and no other department could now say, 64 we are waiting fur the Ordnance." As to tho wood that was purchased, he thought it good economy to have in store a laige supply of seasoned wood for the carriages of gulls. As to the purchase of the ground at Woolwich, they had in their stores above 17,000 ship-guns which had nut been proved. The cylinder powder was new, and was meth stronger than that e hick was formerly in use; and therefore to. prove the guns, a greater range was alisolutely necessary, and ! there was no other- ground that would answer the purpose as well as that which was purchased. —There had been also a heavy expence for building a new -Academy fur Cadets, which was absolutely necessary ; and a contagious fever, which lately broke out in thc- old one, from their being too much crowded, seemed like a thing which )leaven had sent in confirmation of • the propriety of Lord Chatham's conduct -in this re. spect. The Right lion. Gentleman observed, that much had been said on the subject of the Martell° Towers. lie was at that time in the Ordnance De. • pertinent, and could therefore give an account of them. It would be recollected, that at : that time. an invasion had been much talked_ of, and Col. Cranford had spoken very much at large on that '. subject. Mae)? Gentleman thotight 'extensive forth! ficatiuns %cold be necessary ; others, that the; coast ought to ho studded with Martell° Towers. Nothing else was scarcely talked or thought of. —Now, however, matters were changed, and he thought invasion was next to being morally i•neussilde. The enemy could not HOW put Out two sail of the line-from the Straits of Gibraltar to the Nordi Cape. Government wi-re,• how. ever, at that time, by means of the clrinour,that" was raised en. the score of -immediately-threatened invasion, compelled, as it were, to build,,Mar,.. tell:, Towers: - they Were told it be doue ins. mediately, and if not completed by . the Month of June next (0110%14, it would be too 'tale.

Mr. , PAItNELL wad not prepared to tote for the Estimates, because he thought them is many instances most extravagant. Ater objection he had to doing it was, that when he looked at the 'House (which was eery dis indeed)* he could not think that so large a gum as -1,000,0001. of the people's money should be voted away by so few of their Representaiives,sed with so little investigatlim.. lie should, therefore, move, as an Amendment,' that the Chairman do report progress, and ask leave to sit again.

Mr. WHITBREAD observed, that the Hot Gentleman opposite (Mr. W. l'ole) hail aid, it was morally impossiele that an invasion of the country should now take place.
