Reiman Wad is frerna ilia Commissioners of the Noetbersi Light liaises, presented an Absnaft 'of the Accounts of ih. Commissioners, with a du pliCate thereof I which was os dared to lie on the table. Mr. Russel , from the Ts: (Am, presented an Aceount of the Exnces incurred bf the payment of Salaries to the Commissioners for the Redemp ' tine of the Land Tax, pursuaat to the AA of the 42d of the King; which was ordered to !iron the Table. On the motion for the third reading of the Public Harbour Proeeetion Bill, • Sir WILLIAM F.LFORD said, he was ready so admit, that the general principle of the Bill was good, but he thought the words of It were much too general. Every person who lived on the banks of any river which communicated, no matter how re motely, with a harbour, would. be compelled, be fore he could make any embanktriei.t or other ereMion, to give notice of such his intent to the Admiralty. Almost every river, he said, emptied itself into a harbour of some kind; and he, therefore, thomfiht, as it would be a .'.ardship on many per sons who resided on the hanks of rivers, the. Bill should not pose in its present form, and should, therefore, stand over till the next Session. Sir CHARLES POLE said, it was only re quited by the Bill, that a notice sliotild he given to the Admiralty, before any ereaion should be made; and the only question, therefore, to be considered was, whether the people would thick it a hardship to-he obliged to give in this notice, knowing, at tl e same time, that the objea of the Legislature. in re quiring it, was the improvement of the harbours ? Mr. ALEXANDER conceived, that the Bill only aeeal in I urtherance of the Common Law, and tramanitted the care ef 'the flights of the Crown to the Admiralty. • Sir WILLIAM ELFORD explained ; and the Bill was read a third time. A clause was then brought up, saving the Rights of the City of London, and made part of the Bill. On the question, that this till do pass — Mr: IFOSTER rose, and after declaring that it was not his•obieo to create delay, said, that the Bill extended to Ireland ; and as many of the rivers theta, the Liffy,the Boyne, and several others, were under the management of special Commissioners, be did not think it right that they should be obliged to give notice to the AdMiratty heeel! There was another ohjettion also, - With regitrd to Ireland, namely. that of the evince that would be in coved by serving die notice ; he therefore hoped, that an amendment would be allowed, to limit the ine.sure to Great Britain only. Viscount HOWIC said, it was originally in tended, that the Bill should not extend beyond England, but as it only obliged a notice to Le given, and as that could be given by letter, which would he no expence, he thought Ireland might be included; but if the Honourable Gentleman con ceived it would be injoi ions to that part of the United Kingdom, lie had no objettion to allow a li mitation. . Atter some farther conversation, however, be tween Mr. lr'oster, Viscount Huvric, and Mr. Alex ander, the former agreed not to press an amend ment. Mr. POLE CAREW objefted to the EiII, as the words of it were too general, and thought it would be both burthensome to the A arniralty, and oppres sive to the. People. Mr. WHITBREAD said, the Honourable Gen tleman could not have seen the Report of the Com mittee on which this Bill was founded. It would appear. from that, that it was the opinion of very able engineers, tnat great damage was dune at Cat water, by private embankments, and that all our harbours were likely to be materially injured. Sir C. POLE spin pressed' the necersity there was for proteeting our harbours I but, after some (other conversation, an amendment was at length made, limiting the necessity of giving n'itice, to all embankments mode on rivers, so far up as the tide flows. The Bill was then passed, and ordered to the Lords. The Houston Estate Bill was read a third time, and passed. The SECRETARY at WAR moved, " that there be laid hef• - •re the House an Account of the Sums ieceived by the late Barrack Master-Gene ral. for rents of canteens, and for dung and ma mare sold by the Commissaries." Mr. ROBSON said, it fell to his lot to have his motions repeated aterlarias the night after he sub mitted them to the House. That this motion shoals: be now made was most extraordinary, as he had himself moved for the amount of the produce of dung, and other manure. He wished to have a reason why his motion, which was exaely the same, was negatived ? and while on his legs, be took the opportunity of mentioning intention of bringing forward a new motion with reaped to the Barrack Department, on Monday next, as he was every day getting more accpsainted with the al..r es in it. In pursuance of that intestion, he had come down to the House early, for the purpose of seeing the Re poet from the Commissioners of Military Inquiry ; brat. before he strived. it had been presented and ordered to be printed so that he would ant now be able to get a sight of it until nest Session, which be very much wished for. The SECRETARY at WAR wished the Hon. Gentleman to understand, that he did not oppose his motion the day before ; on the contrary, both he and his Noble Friend (Lord H. Petty), agreed to it. He concluded. by assuring the Hun. Gentleman, that it was the Gentlemen at the other side of the House who apposed his Motion, and that if he had called for a division, he, for one, would have had the Putman of voting with him. Mr. ROBSON explained ; and the accounts were then ordered. Lord HENRY PETIT wished m know, whether the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Robson) intended. as be 'sod, to make a mastication Monday twat t and, if be did. he would wish to know the objeft of it. Mr. ROBSON said, be bad dneovetad pecola• Lions to a considerable amount in the Barrack De partment, and his objefl would be, to move for papers relative to them. The Settitary at War presented, Flamm to order or the Mu-e, several papers eel rave to the Bprrack Departm'ein. • Mr. PAUL rose, and called the attention of the House to the dismissal of Mr. Atkins, from his of fice as Barrack Master of Sandmen. A man who had served his coontry for five or ix years in the West Indies, and who had served under Sir Ralph Ahercromby so faitlifidly, should not, he thoueht, have been dismissed on the a ff t iavit of a min, wnhout some inquiry bring made ins() the nature of the business. The SECRETARY at WAR said, he had no knowledge hf Mr. Atkins. !le was not un.ler his -direCtiott, hut under that pf the B trraek Master General ; and it was in consequence of hi; report, that Mr. Atkins had been dismissed ! as the papot s before the House would slim. Mr. ROBSON said, that the affidavit on which Mr. Atkins's discharge was rounded, was contra dieted by three positive affilavite, aid he thought, on that account also, the matter slonild he investi gated. The papers presented were then ordered to be printed. A Message rroun that Lords informed the House that the Leeds had aereei to the American Isiter• course Bill, the Irish 0 tit-Runs Bill. the Irish Mi litia Service Bill, the Volunteer Officers' Bank Bill, the blasters' in Chance y Remuneration Bill. die Sugar F.xportation BA Ow Silk-11 , mM" Bill, the Ex:ise LAWS Amendment Bill, the Legal Quays Bill,. the Grain Intercourse Biil, the Irish Gunpowder 831, the Mast Importation Bill, the Gibraltar and Malta Trade Bell, and the Innkeepers' Bill. Sir JOHN SINCLAIR presented the Second Report firm the Committee on the Broad Wheel Ac; which was ordered to lie on the Table. Lord H. Pi...rrY m , ved the usual anon al grants to the Officers of the House, as follow :-12001. to IL Mexander, Eire. Chairman of the Committees; such a sum as would.with the fees and emoluments, make op the sum of 20101. to Jeremiah Dyson., Eso. one of the Assistant Clerks; 10001. clear to J. Loy, Esq. Clerk t 5001. to.l.Clementson, Deputf Serjeato at Arms: also, thit the Journals of the House, from the end of the last to the end of the present.session be printed ; and that 350 copies of the Journals he printed for tire u,e ul the Members : t , , George kVithim, Esq. for an Index 1., • !„tat na i l; also such compeusation as His M 3:: a' may think ;of ficient,to the Clan is a t•eildlog r)..: public Committees. and that the Huai.. tri doe good the same ; all which motions were severare. pot and agreed to. PUBLIC DrIIT. Mr. JOHNSTONF. said. i;ese. on vieseinet the state of the Public Debt, co , n;seted wits that of the Noble Lord and the Hono.•:. t f, Cientlern an on the opposite side, there was nu difference in any of the grand results. There ;vete, however, one or two things on which he a ished to make an obsetvatintu Notwitlistaadi.:74 it had Ise,:e said, when we first en tered on ilepreeeet war, teeth there would he nn o•s• casion to make any addition to the National Deb: ; yet our debt has, since thaeperiod, increased to the anuarket a 70,000,0001.; and it was rather remark - able, that the four years of this war made nearly the same addition to the Debt as the first four years of the lest war, the expense's of 1793, 179 1 , INS. and' 1796, being 69,000,0001. and the four years of the war 07,000.0001. He wished to have said snmetirias mote on this sohjeet; but, as the Honourable Gen tleman who made that declaration of one not heing obliged to add to the National Debt, was not then present, he would not trespass farther no the time of the House. He then moved his Resolutions is the usual form. On the first resolution being read from the Chair, Lord H PETTY* said, he should not, after what the Hon. Gentleman had said. object to the resolu tions. It must, however, occur to every one, that the Mapes of not brunt obliged to add to the Nations]. Debt, by whomsoever entertained, had been frus trated, from their being built on too sanguiue a foundation. Dr. LAWRENCE said, all those estimates were generally made on very fallacious calculations, and seldom proved accurate by any means great Statesman among the ancients, on the breaking nu: of a wear, being asked how much it would cost to carry it on, answered,.) War is a devouring animal, and will not submit to a regimen of diet." The resolutions were then agreed to ; and tne de bate thereon was adjourned to Monday. Sir. A. WELLESLEY moved for several India Papers. - iNDtI BUDGET. The House. in a Committee, resumed the Debate On the Irides Budget. Mr.TYRWH I IT JONES asked the Noble Lord (Morpeth) whether the 3,500,0001. doe from the Company to Government, was included in the pre ' sent accounts ? Dr. LAWRENCE spit to order, an:l slid, the Hon. Member had no right to ask questions. but as to the subjell on which the debate Was ; and that speeseion did not relate to that to l ejeit. • Mr. JONES said, he s ke ILI great deference to the opinion of the Lea Dorftot, at all times; but. be conceived, he had :I right to ask this ques tion at present ; !weever, if - the Learned Doelor wanted to speak to the sub:i •a, he would give way to him, as he was always s tall of brevity. Dr. LAWRENCE insisted the Hon. Gent. was out of order in asking the question. The Ci I AIRMAN being appealed to, said, he believed any Member had a right to ask a question of another ; bet it was in the option of drat. other Member whether be would answer it or sot. Mr. JONES then said, he had asserted is Mt . that the India Company were on the verge of bank ruptcy, and then their debt amounted to 20,0t50,0001. He was then reprehended as having formed a rash. conclusion, and be was desired to wait, and be would see their atiairs were more prosperous than be imagined; be had now waited five years. and their debt was nearer forty than thirty millions; he was, therefore. afraid they were now *Sadly arrived at a sow of baakruptcy. They had engaged to pay 0111Cooarmasent 500,0001. a year for the Noma! of • limpir Amer. which had never been paid, except the fro year ; so that they now stood indebted to site 'public in the sum of ).500,000L and he had m easly a sight to ask if that sum was included in the nonseot. He was 'maid the public would be suf ferers by the Company. Mr. JOHNSTON F. said, the Hon. Gentleman ha.i. Aro years ago, twitt..l.l, that the Contrary Pn'lß were no the eve of Bankrupt, :y, and hYr bhewed, that the predillion w.a I to tided. yi, believed their affairs were is 2 V:ite of eetthatrAtt mem, but by no means so glnomy as 11.1,i been t.._ presented. lie hoped, however, would never come t 1 Parliament for ri•;:ef, M feared, that whoever may be t e Vl:flirter of day. he would grasp at a part at :tie teraitnries be. longing to the Company, which u.sald give him a mos: es.:•nsive patronage ; and that, added to wh a s. the Cl'o4l elite4J, peastristiv, w uuld takeaway bat trice SCIII*CeSSAty ADA esseni4 to the maioteaanc e of our eXc..ll-rit Constitutinii. Mr. C.

Mr. PAW, repeated whit he had stated oil former ocossione, in support of. his opinioo, that the finances of the East India Company had ex. prri-nced great elolitic:ttion to the ceded Provinces Mr. MAR fIN thought that thi derangemen t the affairs of the Company Wilt not atutbu•aole is the wags which Ida' happened Mr. MIDI/US ['ONE cap:tissud his entire sa. tistanioti wt;h the financial :Idea en.: :uhrritted by the Noble I, rl (61,rpeth), and said, t . e:e ,s ail na occasion for the other I),reaor: o; the East India Company to Arienti in t•at House, as they felt that the country might I,rly upon the vatrineat in the Budget. '['i.e Clentli man then advert ed to what had, on. a f;.rolot night. fallen from as Han. Alderman kPricsiiii), whose view cf affairs he consideTed to be perrefily •falla in is I n its calculatisai of benefits and di.advantages, he seemed ti luxe wholly overlooked the ...port trade of the Cistripany, by which a huge part rf the population of this country was nos only ke.t frem being litt•thensamc, but made serviredhle, the State. Pttfeiring the interests of the erunt,y to thcir owe, the Company, at a great has to themselves. annually exported worll.n articles to ti.e amount of 1,300.0001. which employed 40,r,00 .p, in the manufadirre, and raid a duly , f tio,Onol. l'he lass in the export of u0011, , n grods, in the China •rade alone, was 40,0001.; ale. casiened by the China merchar.ts fixing thtir owe urines; and yet the Company, out of regard to the interests of the country, patented that exchange, other than to drain the country of silver, which was really a better enchaoge, and which they could easily procsre in the Western counties of Enghse, Mt. Aid -T=ol PA! NSF" said, the statement br had made he should be able to prove to the House, by impels which weie airrady before them, on the state of the carrying, trade, and the tpiantily of merchandise e‘ported. By those accounts. it ap. peared. that .5.0001. a year WAS the am na tof the exports of this India Cmpany ; and tor that consideration we paid 6,000.0001. a year, ter de fenchrig the peninsula. The statement which h id been lately submitted of the affairs of India, ails of a complexion with close which had been mate many years. The Howe and the punlic were buoyed up with empty statements of the prosp row and pro rutting state cat affairs, and %sere fed with hopc, unit at last the bubble would burst, and the East Melia Company fall to pieces. 'Mr. HUDDLESTONE said, the Hun. Alder man was altogether mistaken in has statement : the evorts from the year 17i2. , to 1304, 4M. u.. , e I to I 1,36t3 0001. which yielded an average of 1,516.0.

In the interval of peace, the surplus re vettoes of India had increased 2,823.0001. The increased expencis of the Comp iny, in cense , qirence of war in Europe, were at least a million sterling; And, when added to war in I,:d .1, a mil lion and a halt. It wooild be see I, therefore. that state of WArine more VireC upon the fiscal interest. of the Company, than some Gea tlemen seemed to suppose; and he was hilly of opinion, that a suer of peace would, in a very short time, render them extremely flourishing.- 11-,e Lord re-urged what he had suggested on r f.41..er nish:. respelling the ehnvettion of the Asiatic deb: to an Etoopean debt and co.iclud-d by eximlr rig his hope, that the subjell would be brought before Parliament early in the next Session. Dr. LAWRENCE thought, that after the Noble Viscount (Castlereagh) had for so many years deluded the country with his statements of the pt pretty of India, his plans were not entitled to much confidence. Mr. TYRWIIITT JONES said, if affain had been properly administered, there was nw &win India would now have relieved this counity from the necessity of the Income Tax.
