m,..prifr 440; with :411 deference to the Chair, ter must, atilt crmsidtr the lostration as regular. Won recurring to the journal*, it would be, found that in the year t7is, an Instrualon was given to a Committee on a Bill relative to the appointment of some Commissioners to the Army, dircaing tlient tp appoint the s,one Commiscioners that were named in a preceding Bill. He apprehended this was a case in point. The SPEAKER then stated the question. The CI.IANCELLOR of the_ EXCHEQUER con tended, that such an Instrutlion was not binding on the Committee, and that it would still have an option. His Right Hon. Friend had stated, that he had known the sentiments of his Right Hon. Friend upon this subjea ; he did not complain that he Old not know them, but he repeated that he did. not know till this night that an . objettion existed to the present measure, on the ground of its involv. iog a Breach of Faith with respea to the Public Fonds. The. objeel or the present Instrutlion would have been better answered by moving to leave out miy pat nt . she Bill which afFeaed Public Credit, upon the Farther consideration of the Report, but that stage had been pa:;sed over. Mr. PITT said, that ltinguage must have been very defe4tive, if the lion.'"Gentletmo did not know belorelmnd his sentiments with . respt4l. to the situation or the Stnckholders. It had been ob. jetted that he had . sieferred this proposition until the moment when the Spe:tker was about to leave the Chair ; but it should be reccllecled, that it was at the express request of the Hon. Gentleinan himself that the Bill passed through A Committee profoora. and that tic discussion was postponed till the re. commitment. With respen to the objet ion that a motion tnight have been MAC: so alter the Bill upon the further consideration cif the Report, it would have becfii as fair if the lion. Gentleman had can. dilly staled that mode of proceeding at a precious period. The CH,ANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER re. rota, dull he aid no e(inplain of being unapriz. ed rf the bentiments of leis Right Hon, Friend, but he never till now heard of the objection of it'Breach of Faith with r,f.see<"t to the Stockholder. He ad. mitted that tote. discussion loot been deferred at his request ; but w irli reoo - oot to the imputation of waot of cantionr, the !ilea of altering the Bill on the (urther - considerati.m of the- Report, had not suggested ;hell. to him till after that stage had .passed over, thongh he still "'taught that would have been the preferable mode of proceeding. S;i P U LTE NEY oliserved, that he thought the rluestson at present under consideration was, whether any exemptioos,•shOuld be allowed in the Bill. if the general principle of the Bill was carried into riled, the House 11111$t exclude al! exceptions. `!,'he Hon. Gentleman then euncluded by saying he did not. approve of the exceptions mentioned. 7'// INEY , after making a few remarks on thel state of the Public Fundh, observed, that he did not see arty real - giouods Int the alarm of a Breach of Faith which had gone abroad, and .which had been to. night mentioned by the Right Hon. Gentleman above him (Mr. PITT) o he was satisfied, as evety Mem ber. in the House must he, that the Rt. Hon. Gentle. noni did not wish to embarrass Government in any possible wog ; yet the Motion of Instre,ilion . which he had ofrered to the House, was calculated to agi tate the Public Mind, particularly cm such a .subje& as 0, 4 1 of the Funds of the Country, arid cumin from such high authority ; he therefore thought, at this critical moment, it would he better if the Right Hon. Gentleouin withdrew his Motion of Instruitton to the Committee. He could not hut express his approbatio n o f t h os e Honourable Gentlemen who sit within the walls of that Idolise, amid who fill high Public Situations in the City, in con. scgOeoce of the ready support they gave to the measure when first offered to the wisdom of Pailia. tnent ; indeed it was from the City of London that every City and Corporation in the kingdom receiv. ed the ,example of those great Public Acts of Mice. to the Country which have so long distin. guished the City of Loodon from every City in the Universe, lie begged leave to call to the ,01 the House the situation of the small trader, in this and every town in the King. doto, who h'ad no stoeh of their own, and who were mete agents, to dispose of goods by , commission—many -of these persons • are supported ill business in different parts of the town, which they cart y on, in their own name, and who have returns of one hundred - and y, to two hun. died a year, and yet not a shilling's worth of rock of their own, the stock being furnished them by more wealthy traders, who are in business in sonic colter part of the . mown: - .there • were many circumstances and cases which :night be stated to warrant the iodulgence of the House . to persons of the description lie had mentioned. . Mr. P irr went over his former explanation, and titer tooter ved, in rills wen to the •Might Honour. able Gentleman (Mr. Ti NEY), , that whatever noght have gone almrati with respdt -to a lireach of he consiard it his duty .s a Mem. her, ro state any circumstances which appeared to him of National danger, that the House might in i ts Wifioulmbe . prepated to consider the subject, and. ke an endeavour to remedy the 'Evil. It had been stated by the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Ti ea N t V), that the measure had been approved of, d sow tied by the City of London ; but it must rectioecit d o that they only jtuited of the measure m Report, a nd were led to helieve, that the Bill would n- t lie wl , at it is.

Mr. PITT, with that pure patriotititn and superior energy of mind Which so greatly cha. raaerize him, found it necessary. to urge, Ministers to prompter measures in providing fur the Defence of the Country. _We have seen with deep regret, the want of that vigour upon several important ye. casions which the circumstances of the Country appear to us so imperiously to densand. It is 'from, the great mind of Mr. PITTItt, we have caught the stark of energy and eau. tion which begins to spread itself over he, Country, but which we ardently wish to see kin. died up into a flaMe. which shall raise the British Emtire .above the chance of disaster, and strike terror into the beaus bf our Foes. It is the corn. :minding voice of Mr. PITT alone in the Senate, that can do this, and we listen to•it with enthu. siasut. Mr. ADDINGTON and• Mr. PITT differed essentially in their opinion last night upon this most important point. The latter said, 66 that an instant should not ,be lost, when we expetted the mind of every Individual in the Kingdom to rise to a leVel with the necessity. that called for iti eier. tion ;" while Mr. ADDINOTON, in answer to Mr. PITT, observed, 66 That every exertion was mak. ing, not indeed to bring the"minds• of the people to a level with our situation, for, rhankGod, the Minds of the people were up already." Between the justice of these . two assertions it is not difficult to decide. If the minds•of the People are sufficiently up, . w hy is the complaint repeated, from mouth to moutltin the "streets, of the apathy that seems to 'reign throughout the NatiOn Ministers are deceived ran this point. Tlieyilatrer themselves that the Public Mind is up sufficiently, when that is not the case— ' that it is rising, we see with the most heartfelt . satisfaaion, but. it seems to look to the - high and commanding Genius'of. a PIT; as 11ChI'qUA lifi&I to rouse it to its true pitch, and when roused, most . successfully to aired it. Meanwhile, however, 'we have no doubt but that the unex:tm. pled Patriotism of that Great Mart will not be OW its due influence on the Public Mind ; and the pe o pl e will rtfled with sarisfadion, 'that if the Coln , iry has nut the benefit of his' services in the they are sure of them IO the Senate s when. his sentiments upon that bead. After a short progress had been made in the hill, The C OVA biCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER proposed the Committee's immediately going to the'consideration of the Schedule.. Mr. W. SMtrn expressed his disapprobation of the Mode in which it was proposed to proceed with the Bill through the Comtittee. If it ,were intended to hurry through the• Bill in a rapid manner, he thought it would be saving time, but with a uselEss. view. It would be wiser in the House, and Tore befitting its dignity, were they seriously to sit to the discussion of the measure, or if that should not be plat.' able, 'to postpone the discussion. The Cite NC&LLOIt of the E %elf lOU I a thought no serious objection could be adduced to the mode proposed. It was then his wish to proceed regularly with the hill. When an important point arose tiponlw hich a serious dillerence of opi. nion should prevail, thediscussion might he postponed. Mr. H. , BkOWNL 110tiCt:(1 the state the Committee were in, in which he conceived it impracticable properly to discuss the measure. The ATTORNEY GENERAL was surprised at any . objeftion to the proposed mode of proceeding, more especially as it was understood, when they came to a period of diseuesion, it should be the signal ter. the House to adjourn. Sir WILLIAM GEARY and the CHANCELLOR of the Ex. cui u ea. made sonic observations on the part of the Rills then uncle: consideratiun, in which the latter observed, that the alteration proposed was in consequence of a Bill having been described in the Clause as an Att passed, whereas it was a Bill then before the House. • Some verbal amendments were then made, in certain parts , of the Bill, on the Nlotion of the C it a tic Le Loa 'of the Ex.

Gentleman had alluded to. . • Sonie farther verbal Amen e `enents were made on the sue;. gestion of Mr. V a trsteeaite, the Lug o MAYOR, and others.
