This arrange ment tills acted upon on the Conclusion o f tire keace of Atniens, and Sir E.

The salaries of 111 r.

This argil !licit!, he Would be reasonable, if applied tti the case of a poor Clerk, vvho received bet a salary of 1001. a year ; but •it had not the same character when it was urged with respect to, Gett - tletet:ll litialifivel to hold such important offices: as those filled by Mr. Cram. and 'Mr,.

ILe had now to offer some: observati.ms on the conduct of the Lords ot ,the Admirulty. It seemed Mr. Croker hurl been willing to have his salary reduced, as that of Sir E.

Their' reports had been • looked to as the' ablest and most important whieh Jed .been poldished, arid if so their hilnwrs' should inn be Considered as good for nothing, and their advice . disregarded. The Honourable Members opposite 'had fallen into a grear error mite', they stated, that.. a MllMent of p;:ace had been chosen for this increase. in ‘tinsitiln* to that lie should observe, that the me morial on the subject was dated the 25th of March, a time when a war was about to'he corn melleed, the terinieatioo , of which cool(' not be viewed as a matter likely to take place'in a short time, and he contended that his Hon. Friendi 'were right in attending' to the arfggestion which had been made to them at that particular period. With regard to the question, whether the present salary of the 'Secretary to the Admiralty, wit's too ninth in time of peace, he admitted it was one on which, the House had a right to inquire, butt the proper time for that inquiry would be when the Estimates should come regularly be fore 'Um. That be conceived would -be the pro per time for their opinion ; but.es to the general question of economical redaction, connected with the queetion before the House, he contended that his Noble Friend had civilly Proved it to be the plinciple on which he and his colleagues had acted, by the documents which he hail read in the course of his speech.. Mr. Haunt - a:oast understood, that a mast point ed anti personal attack haul been made upon him in his nbsence,. by the Right Hon. Gentlemen. He had been informed, that the night Hob. Gen , denims had said, be had taken off the'mask to. night anti disclosed principles hostile—(No, tto i) unfriendly to the Brunswick Family. It was do light matter, that language should be held respecting any Member, that might be thus construed. Mr. WELLIISIAtIe Pout repti4d, that what he had said wits cal in the reculleetinn of the fionit.-, and he was certain they would agree in Saving, that be had not used any words in the sense in which the Honourable and Learped Member (Mr. grongliitoo bad just stated. Mr. IlitotiOnam then tuideratood the Right Gentleman tretsly not only that he had Hot used words be l!ad repeated, but that he had opt made the supposed charge ag4inst his principles'. Mr. W. role repeated the words be had asedin his .speech.

Mr..lsAtsx.es .depreekted that heat slTich had been manif e 'sred in this discussion. He thought the Hon; and, Lertrried .Gentleitrau seas" not aware of the apparent-import of .the words he had utter ed while he was 'speaking.' Had he been so, he doubted not he wonld have been glad to lie check. ed. They were such that he could not bear them without displeasure, not (the Hon. Gentleman • would forgive him) without, indignation. huh; testimony to the-honontalile character Of the Comniissioners of Naval lievision. He did not approve of the increase of the salaries which had taken place. It appeared to him unnecessary et this time. He - should . vote against it'when the Estimates came tinder the cousiderwion of the House, but he thought the proper course on the present occasion, would be to proceed to the other Orders of the Day. Lord COCH NAN F. sapported-the trotitin. Mr. CHOKER had intended to give no vote on the motion ; lie had thought it his duty to attend in his place while the debate went on, that he might be . ready to offer any explanation which . might be required. The House would *feel an individual could not be placed in a more } gainful situation • than that in which tie had stood during part - of the time. This, however, had beett much ale.: viated by the sentiments which his , Aliiitsty's Rli luisters had expressed tupecting his eonduat, and by the impression these had' made on thoSe whose gmid opinion he most valued. He left.the House to decide on the question ; he had no interest at in it, and had only to regret that justice' could not be done to an honourable, but humble class of the servants of the public,: without bringing.hls name 'tor ward. • • Sir J.

LONDON, THVASIM Y,-•.V.l RCM' 11, MC The Discussions in the House of Cgtirmons, mist night, do not yield in i 1 portfince. to any which bate taken place this Session. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHIMURR announced the intention of Government to permit the War Malt Tax to expire in July, and further, to take oft a part of the fax on Horses employed in Agri. culture. This momentous relief to the labouring Agricultural Interests, will afford the highest gra tification throughout the Country ; and the man ner in which Ministers have conducted themselves in this respect, will recommend them to every li beral and honourable mind not jaundiced by party spleen. When Mr. WasUllsusubmitted his Itesoln dons, long before the determination of the Income Tax Question, the I. l ititica Ilsonwr's Servants de clined their intention of giving piety possible relief to the Agriculturist. This principle formed a distin gokhed feature of the modifications proposed in the Income Tax. Yet now, when the latter spe cies of relaxation has been denied, and they pro duce the other :Immures Which they a priori Vetiged'ittsMirelvet 7 to take ; twit Is the Wiktst of ttillytirti!ifintlitt in the breasts 'or their . typo"... nents, Vial. they accuse •them ith buittg forced to this' course by the -vote of hest Monday : rote t*hich Must thus have 1110 a tetedspective effect still more incredible than any of its proh mist(' benefits !
