The Hight Honourable Gent. thought it unfit that any refl-ction should be thrown on the Getalemeu of the %Vas Office, whose industry and ability were acknowledged by the Cominisnoners. He coiiclurit-1 with saying. that s.iinething should be done to afford a speedy and effectual remedy. Mr. Lotto agreed in the, necessity of a new sys tem. The one iutrodum•ed by dr. Burke was wholly impracticable at the present time ; the va riety of payments had increased, the nature of pay meat to the soldiers was ymaite changed, and it riHa extremely difficult to tsarina's. the accounts. The 'Wet/Unto fur the last year had gone into the Audit- Office, and would be finally settled within a few mouths. Ile thought the pry menus to the soldiers should be consolidated, which would render the ac counts less imamate. Mr. Wittman said, that the real Mianri. of the arrears was, that business hid grown noon time (Ace faster than it could be gone through with— the grist came faster to the mills dim it coliml be giound--there wanted more mills' and tilore tnil- It•rs. There was en immense increase of lot:mimics'', as might readily be conceived from the effect of the local militia and army of reserve; but no blame was to be attached to the persons employed in the office, they were men of diligence, Intelli gence, and experience. He particulatised Mr. Tay lor, who, if be bad any fault, it was over-scrupulous lICSS in the discharge of his duties ; many hands tootle light work, and be conceived the only way was to increase the number of assistants ; but if the Hon. Gentleman had found out a better mode, whip': he much doubted, he wished the country should have the benefit of it; and as the inconve nience of producing the papers was not very great, lie thought the lion. Gout. should be allowed them. Mr. WHIT/MAD said, that every one ought, awl Ile hoped did wish, that the arrears of the office should be brought up. The Hight lion. Gentle 'lSHll had would we not trust them already in the situation ? Ile for one would not, not that he doubted their integrity, but that he suspected their abilities. Ile was the more inclined to deny them his confidence, as he taw that t lie very same person, under whose speculations they had already failed, was the per.oa with whom thee were again consult tug. Colonel Charmilly had stated, that there were various sums of money paid to him, of wlii h lie was prepared to give an exact account. Th., exact account he (Ir. W.) would wish to see. The enlistinentof foreigners into the British army was a practice to which he was hostile ; no s)stets mull, mu his opinion, be more fatal to the interests of the country. Ile would at *ollie future day more for a return of all the foreign officers ii: die service of Great Britain. He hod heard that Baron Hoot , peel was a General in the sorrier; but a future day would present Imo with un opportunity of in vestigating these hustlers more ummtely. Mr. 11. Tuoasyrom thought that the House up on such occasiumm should t general look to tile Feuds of the offices themselves, Time Kau. Cern tlercan had only stated the inconveniences of the existing system; lie had produced no plan of his firm to substitute: until he saw what that plan was,. lie (Mr. T.) could not decide upon its toopricty. Mr. Batiaciar doubted u littlew}tethar the hope was not too sanguine timid time Mot. Geutlemma could 'accomplish this reform.' The War-Office Was 41 mere office of audit; lie aid not Lilow what . was want by simplification, the gulden mode which it seemed to signify, was nut yet discovered. Mr. PULTEVIN explained. • Mr. - littsgtssou said, answer to something thet hail &lieu from an Honotaruhle Member, that Col.
