Mr. 11AURICE F1TZG1611.41.1) called the attention of the Howie to a subject which he considered of great impurtauce, and requiting the application of a speedy and effectual remedy ; lie meant the mode hitherto practised in the rooming, expeauliture, and accounting for time monies voted by the Grand Juries in the several counties in Ireiand—the latter juirtieularly of *inch was become im mere forum, and wholly inoperative. The evils arising front the intiltiplicatiun of oaths wits universally felt und ac . kioraledged. Gh the case of treasurers for counties in Ireland, the mode of accountiug was inertly upon oath, before a single magistrate, end was I found to be wholly nugatory. By the Bill which ' it was his intention to move to bring in, he pro postd to correct this 'evil, by making them, instead thereof, to account irgularly, in open collet, before the Judge of assize; which, he conceived, mtould prove a cle.t.k upon them ; awl also that they should site security for the trust reposed in them. Another evil which he conceived to call for redress was the way public works were carried on. By the present system any work voted by a Grautl Jury at one Assizes was necessarily executed, unit the ac comas :NllSltell at the ensiiiiig Assizes; this was at tended both with Irma and imperfection in the execution of such work. The remedy he proposed for this, was a delay of a certain period of time, ine terveuing between tint execution of tuck work soil the peeing the accouuts; for the purpose of afford ing leisure both for examining into the work itself, and the aceounts of time expenditure thereon. With regard to the levying, the money necessary for the currying . on such works, lie proposed tint this should, in future, be fixed at stated periods, that so the persons called on might not le: tukeu by smir prise. He nlimo proposed- to introduce into his Bill a power iii those interested to traverse either the work itself, or the accounting for it, lip the mimes of civil bill, before the assistant barrister of the county, as 11 check before the passing the accnniita. As a further improvement, he proposed, that in fit. lyre all proceeding* of ;nand Juries, on all bUli jects relative to presentnieuts, should become twit ters of mond, by being entered on their books, for the inspection of futnre grand joule., thereby en " them to be acquainted with the past, nod to be judges of time future. Auother iikeratioe he proposed was, the taking the power of passiug the uccomits altogether out of the hands of the magi.- irate., and placiug it in those of the assistant bars riser; subject. however, to ap:wal to the judges of assize. He further proposed, that till persons mi dertuking any public work, should he compelled to enter into a recognizance for the due execution thereof. The present system. upon that' subject was radically bad ; hy it, any person undertaking any public work, when tininhed, and his accounts passed, had no further iuterest in its preservation ; end this, for the saving of a trifling expense. it probably went to ruin. To prevent this evil. he proposed that grand juries should be obliged to contract With such person* to keep such works in repair for s certain period after the work was finish ed. It was not his intention to press the passing the Lill he proposed into an Act during the present enlace), init merely to have it j tell, for the pur pose of its ',clog considered during the vacation, in order to its amelioration against the next year.— There was another subject, which he considered as 111 some degree connected with this, and standing ill iice:l of li-olefin's—he meant tit• present mode of usses.ing the Laud Tex in- Ireland ; bet its hie kiiew that this had very much occupied the atten tion o. a Right floii. Friend of his (Sir J. New pnrt), who, he believed, had it in contemplation to propose a new survey, for the purpose of reme dying the evil, he did not know lint it would be better left in his hands rather than ineorporate it in the present Bill. He concluded with m o vi ng 1.r.• leave to bring iii a Bill to amend the Grand Jury I.4sts in Ireland. Mr. FOSTIR observed, that us it was not intend ed to press any measure during the present Session, he should, without pledging himself to ago eto any thin specific. not oppose the bringing in the Bill. Sir Joos Ncivemer declared, that he had it in contemplation to propose some new Regulation., relating to the mode of assessing the Land Tax in /whim!. By 1110 priliVllt $ 1 ,...t 1 11 , 1. the Tax was is se-ssrd by pl oug h lands , some of which might be only of three or four hundred acres, while others contained as many as thirteen hundred acres, so that it followed that some paid its much as two acre, where others did not pay more *ban us many pence. It was therefore certainly desirable to uscertain time her of acres tpat %honkd ire taxed, in order to aim equality of burden ; and he intended to propose some measure for this p ••••pose in the course ni the next Session. Col. Balmy expressed himself adverse from anry ineaseir of this kind, which lie considered as un innovation upon those who hail purchased lands, subjected only to the present cute, and as such en titld to call for rompeneatints. The lb,. !knit ',Rower. coincided in opinion with the Right !You. Gentleman opposite him, as to the necessity of soole re-zi•lstioo in the mode of levying the, at present gromoded lemon elest• wits. cabled the Down Survey ; since • !mi l (lucre were ten acres for one in cultivation, mind which,. by the oresent system, were exempted hum the tax.—!.cave was iiveu to bring iu time Bill. • ARMY wornoTioxr.

He was soave an opinion was entertained by Some. that any interferenee of that House with die regulations of the unity, was a thing to itself Highly improper ; bat lie was by no Maims of the same opnuou ; anal lie would liotif) himself in that sentiment by left-rent.r to many 'hi *Maces ou record ell the Journals or that House. Ile was, liowever, ready to admit, that such au interfci ence was not to be exercised noon light groutidsoini only in a ease whore OM which called for it coital sufficiently justify it ; bitch lie eciisidered the pre sent, where the standing vegetation, of the min) had been broken Through. When his Royal High ness the late Coast huder-iii-Chief wus jamasl at the head of the army, he felled it in ti state iii which unv one could 'wrier at the highest milk, by purchase, without am iestri:aion of eitla r time or service, mid lie had opplicil a remedy to the evil, by enacting the regulitiom that DO one should he prn aaaaa tell In the rslik of Field Officer, without having first served for the pe riod of six years. Upon the present Comman der-in-Chief coining into office, he Inol pub lished a further regulation, that no person 'mild be promoted to the mil: of Lieatennist-Colonel, without having several nine years; ten of which he must have been a Major. In violation, however, of these regulations, lie found Lord Burghersh ad vancad to the midst of Major in a West Indi-a regi ment, on the 4th uf May last, and before he had been six years in the army ; dies putting lam over the heed of many. ',hove vele hundred Captuiss•, who hail prior claims. The eldest Captain (Grant) in the very regiment tem which 'his Lordship war promoted, was an old officer, anal had been a Captain befure hill Lordship had ever heels in The army; a n d the passing him thus by could not be imputed to his want of merit, es lie understood lie way tin officer whose character stood in the highest estiniatisin. if this, however, were all, perhaps it might be instead lay ; but the very next Gazette ninioneced his LOTIIShip . 4 pro- 1110f4 . 11 to the rank or Lieut.-Colonel in the army, ;tad this over the heads or above six I dyed Majors --a more flegrunt instance of injustice than this, lie would venture to assert, never existed. I lad Isis Lordship been the son of some veteran, whose ser vices hud entitled him to so signal a mark of fa vour; had he been the son of au Abercronibie w a Moore, still he should have considered the memsnre wrong ; but here the country saw with grief and iudignation, the %moats Cabinet Minister inivancial„ iu violation of every regulation—thatMi,tisterx ho, by virtue of his situation. ought to have been the foremost to have preserved those regulations units late, at least who ought to have done en in his out' family. In the oh-emotions he found himself compiled to make, lie declared .he nitiant hieg in the slightest degree personal air disrespectful to Isis Lordship ; on the centrary, be understood him as deserving of much praise ; he was sleserviag of praise, fair having in his rank of life selected the army for his profession; hat with all his ad vantugoa he lied done nothing. he could have done nothing, to merit so mind a promotion. He understood that the defence intended to be set up for this measure, was an p 'se made on the subject by the highest personage in the kingdom. Such at defence he considered Na altogether oncost atitutionul ; as nothing whatever could be done by that personage without his legal advisers. lie thought it would be preferahle to abolish regu lations altogether, than to suffer them thus to be broken thruugh by caprice or any other worse mo tive. Although lie had, upon a late inquiry, given his vote ateainst Isis Royal Highness, yet, in com mon justice. lie must say, he entertained no doubt his Royal Highness would not have suffered this measure to have been adopted. Ile would rather sea commissions' now and then disposed of lay the influence of n woman, than have a Commandetein- Chief so wesik, 44 to gke way to Ministers, in suffer ing them to loi•.11: through those regulations which haul bees, laid down for the general benefit of the ser vice. The motive which had induced lhiw to come forward with the present motion, wits to give Mi nisters au opportunity of explaining the transac tion ; if they could do so satisfactorily, lie 'lonia be happy to drop it; if not, he should find himself un der the phalli necessity of persevering. He moved, " That there be laid before the House a copy of the regulations issued by his Rival fliohnesie the late Cot aaaaaa relative to the period which officers were obliged to serve before they could be promoted to the rank of Field Officers — likewise, a euPy of the regulations issued by the present Commander-in-Chief upon the seine sub ject ; and also the slates of the several commissions granted to Lord Burghersh." 1 Lord CASTLLREAGH, in dpposing the motion, felt himself called upon to state those circum stances, which lie doubted not would be found to justify the pmmotion complained or, nor did he think that if they had been really known to the Hon. Cent. he would have come forward with the h ;notion. Ile admitted the principle as laid clown. that is ease might exist wherein that House would he jmnifistble in milling for information ; but the same time, he contended that they should not be -too forward in interfering with what was the up.: doubted prerogative of the Crown. Whatever rules and tegithitions His Majesty might thilik proper to adopt in the govenimeist of his army, or what ex ceptiotes he might make to theirs, it was cer tainly dangernua for that lioness to 'lndia take to advise what creme lie should take in the detail.— Nobody could doubt the premptive of the King to put himself at the head of leis army if he pleased, aiwl to choose whom he thought tit to employ, and whom not ; it must therefore be something uoto nously flagrant er corrupt that could justify that House in interfering with his just prerogative.— When this genarallwincipie war aulmitted, he could not but emstiifer the view taken of the subject as inch ton narrow. It was certainly true His Ma. jetty had intimated his pleasure respecting such rules as he would have generally understood as re -101,..jag promotions in the urine, hut he denied that lie had thereby abdicated all rigla to interfere, whenever a cone should occur that seemed to re r. • gosre It. In fact, the rule would, to such en ex tent, be, in his opinion, altogether /*mugs, as tend - to fetter his jedgment; and therefore he would not have it miderstood as in tan case admitting an exception.

Ile hoped, therefore, that under all the eircninatences, the House would not feel it was case fur further proceeduope or that called' far the information required by the motion. Earl TENIMIL observed, that Lied Burghetsh hod not only the brevet ruck of Lieut.-Colonel in the army, hut still retained his Majority in the re giment, by which a double injury was itillieted ; brit, upon the eldest Captain in the regiment, who was thus ousted of his chance of pnimotion ; a n d next to the army at large, as he understood it was intended to scud his Lordship to Portugal. where Ito was to he made a Brigadier-General ; and thus he would be placed over the heads of all the Colo nels in that army. The speech of the Noble Loot war one consisting entirely of truisms; he bud said the prerogative of the Crown was not to be inter fered with but in extreme cases ha contended, was that very one which celled for such interkreore. It was said. that Lord Burgliersh vas uithin live days of the regular time at promotion ; upon refer ence however to 77ie Gazette, it appeared that hie Loidship's first promotion was on the t 2.411) Decem ber 16443, iu the I Ith Regiment, without purchase. consequently lie would not be six peers in the sat vice until December 1809 e There: was some di11...t -enet of opinion al to thirhe did but know - ther the Noble Lord or The Gazette was to he considered as the better authority ; but vt hen tl c y differed, let the papers asked for be produced ; this was the very hest reason for their produc tion.
