The CHANCELLOR of the LXt2HEQUER said, that the subjed referred to by the Noble Lord was one likely to occasion much eliscussion. lhe report of the Commissioners of Military Inquiry. had pointed out a great deal of difficolty on the subjed. and had occasioned a doubt whether this Commission was the fittest ; it became therefore the duty of His Majesty's Ministers, to be cautious what form of a Commission they appointed, wi;ir cut first having an opportunity of inquiring the best mode by which that inquiry can be. effeSeds There was no disposition on the part of Ministers to ' precipitate any arrangement, nor did he think that this report of the Commissioners of Military ln qairy should be submitted as a ground of carrying into 'Eat what the former Administration had de- ' cided ou, even without report ; previous to this, it would be necessary to have other papers submitted to them on this stilled • Lord H. PETTY, in reply, observed, that the late Ministers had aeled in pursuance of the Re port of the commission of Military Itiquity, al though he acknowledged that such Report was not then aigually laid before the Home. Mr. WICRHAVI said, that Report dii Hot con stitute the whole at the case. The Army compt rollers differed amongst themselves, tad two out of due.: were against the the newly proposed arrange ment. The motion of Lord H. Petty was then put and carried. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the House went auto a Committee on tl e Loan Interest Ball. Mr. PERO:VAL said, he was desirous that the House should be as little pledged as possible to the p!ausible financial theory of the Noble Lord (H. Petty) r at the same time he considered it essential, that good faith should be maintained with the pub lie, particularly in the leading principle, that no new taxation should be imposed within the year ; he was also Surly aware of the impropriety of in terfering voth the provision of a loan, after it was contraaesi for ; all he had in view at present was, to eausid-r whether the whole amount of the war tars should be pledged, and be perpetuated as a security to the Loandrulders, particularly the tales upon imports and exports, and upon the tonnage of ships, which had occasioned a consideraole alarm, and was a suljed of great interest to the Wading part of the community. —He would, therefore, submit to the Commit tee, to leave the dill so at not to pledge the war taxes in the manner, and to the ex.ent originally propos-ri, but to form such an arreagernent asmight be amply sufficient to secure the public creditor, at tee same time so as not to preclude the House from risking the provision of the new Plan of Finance, a matter of future discussion ; he wished to leave the subjea open for further con,ideration soother year, as so new and complicated a system required a considerable portion of time to deliber ate on; for, notwithstrusdirg the discussions which it bad already undergone, so much doubt still re mained as to the praCtical eligibility of the plan, as to render it advisable aot to commit the House with respett to its future discussions on the subjea. With this view, be moved to omit the first enacting • A conversation of som- length took place on this subjett, betwt en Lord H. Petty, Nr. Tierney, and Sir .1. Newport,deps ecating any (deviation from the terms of the original agreement entered into with the pub lic creditor, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Thomas lurton, and Mr. Iluskisson, arguing, that it was equally available to the public creditor to look to any source that was sufficient for his se curity, and that no breach of faith was incurred, even if any deficiency should arise from any of the taxes appropriated to pay the public creditor, pro vided other sufficient means were pointed out, and that they considered it as substantial security, if 3,590,0001. was pledged by Parliament (instead of 9,500.000), for the payment of the interest of the loan of 1,200,0001. t allowing, at the same time, that if any doubt remained, the public mind ought certainly to be satisfied. It was then agreed, that the Chairman report pro gress, for the purpose of asking leave to sit again to-morrow. The House being resumed, the repurt was ieceived, and leave given accordingly. bird CASTLEREAGH gave nohow, that on Thursday next he should move a Vote of Thanks to the naval and military forces who had so gal lantly achieved the capture of Monte Video. On die motion of Mr HUSIOSSON new writs were moved fur the &rough of St. Michael, in the room of Sir Arthur Wellesley, appointed Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland ; and also for the Borough et Eye, in the room of the Marquis of Huntley, called up to the House of Lords by the title of Baron I lur.tley. 1 he Irish Loan liiil passed throagh the Com mittee.

DRRSIDENI, MARCH _l6. If we may rely on what is stated in li:ters from Vienna, Russia hat applied to Austria to furnish an auxiliary arm• against the French, on the ground that the Ern, , rm of Austria was a guarantee of the partition of Poland. The Court of Vienna, however, is said to have answered, that un. der existing circum‘taiices, uo demand can he made in conse quence of this guarantee, as the resent war has an oboe! en tirely different froin the restoration of the Independence of Poland.
