The Legishtore, in passing the present Bill, which did not contain any provision sandioning or even per mitting the issue, would do nothing more titan, as it was found for the publicconvenience to issue these Dollars into circolation, make the counterfeiting them a crime, which- it was not as the Law then stood. :Whether the cointity to be issued ~should not exceed a certain pturortion to the silver coip in circulation, was a question certainly not undeserv. ing of attention ; but the, difficulties attending any effieient arrangement for the adjustment of the silver coinage, were WO well known to make it necessary for him to touch upon that ittlijett In the issue of the Dollars, the Bank entered into an en. glgement to take them back, at the same rattet which they issued them ; and infixing the day, in a former instance, they had only 'in view ,to get • them in as , snao as possible. it it .were desirable. -for the public convenience to .issue DAllsts tinder these circumstances, he trusted the.

He con. teutled, that bY bearing the Kihg'a image, they would have so ints'eh of the charatier of coin, that they would be taken as such, to which the present interference of the I,.% i ,i,lature would contiihute. It would he better, it intended as tokens, to issue themas such, without so much atilt charaeter .9f ein; in the present instance they appeared-in an equivocal mixed charader, 'without a prosped.Of gaining any thing, mitt in chance of much loss.

Circuit; last Au gust, in Ireland.---Ottiered to lie no the NIL. Mr. Du ta.ex, (ruin the Exchequer, presented an Account of all cite Sums that had been issued by His Majesty's orOcr,, pursuant to 4.ticiresspc of the 'House. of Commlns, « 166 hall no bteil made goon by Parlianient 7 —Orth. red to lie of the Table, IRISH CUSTOMS AND EXCISE Mr. bout tt moved the Order of the Day for the third reading of the Irish Customs and Excise Bill. On the question being put, 11171CIIINSON could not stair this op. .portunity to pass, without Making lk few nbserva. titans on the situation of chili part of the Empire to which the operation of 'this Bill was to he Confined. Right Hon. Gentleman opposite* (Mr. Fos. / ire) had stated the National Debt of Ite;and to. have bees, 25,000,0001. in tBOO 4.3,0c0,0p01, in eBO3 ; and that the Ate venues of Ili.' o)untry were' rapidly declin;ng. He Kui stated, that since Ja. ou , iry kit, a defalcation had taken place in the Re. venues to the amount of '300,0001. and yet, .with its manuf Antes annihilated, except its staple, the Linen Nti,tnutatitite, with its Ploviston Trade diMinished, ar:ol its jt,!sno r ee i Abiamed, that Country hadl udd':d 40 its debt thi yetr; while Great_Bri. Lint, during, the same petinti, enjoying a commerce commentura;e with 'tile limitS of the twhitalbie worlO t %tit!) manulatito es in a state of the highest proepe. rity, and wealth and resources inexhaustible, had ,added 'but a sum little exceeding t 2,010,6091. It Was unnecessary to accompany 646 a statement with any observations on the finantial difficulties that must be the fate of Ireland, difficulties which 'one would be almost 'afraid to look' in the. face. The iti 4 ht Gentleman' had proposed to support the Sirking liteenue of Ireland, by raistos an additional Revenue to the . amount of 1,253,0001.; and hells he took occasion to return his thanks to that Right Von. Gentleman , for having given up the increase of the Duty on foreign Salt, and the proposed Stamp . Duty, or the Registering of Freeholds. Bei that Right Hon. Geolieman must agree with ,him, that the Taxes now proposed would be heavily felt in a Country circumstanced as Ireland. The Right Hon. Gentleman had appealed to the Members for Ire. land to look the difficultiee in.the face, and to make c;+11141011 cause in their efforts to prutnine the col. tedion of the Revenue, No man more cordially wished for that unanimity . than he did, because he was - confident that the want of union had been the cause or ail the lamentable miseries'and disuse tioipi that hail beTallen,that Country.. 'He was pine enough in hope that, if ever that blessed day, as lie shnild call it, should arrive when the. Mem, hers for Ireland would be unanimous in recomme4d. ing measures best' calculated to promote the perma nent interests of their Chantey, they would have the hearty concurrence of the . , Members - for this part of the,Empite. Anti here he begged to enter his solemn protest against the principle, from whatever,quarter it may have been derived, that Irish Members ought not to interfere on ottestions exclusively tined to Gieat Britain, nor wire wirsa. Such a: principle was in direet contradidion to the spirit of the tinion, which transferred the care of the intere tis of all parts of the United Empire to the enlighten. etf.wisdom and 'impartial justice of our Imperial Le. gislature. The Right Hon. Gentleman hod pro. posed two arrangements for supporting the sinking reecoirces.of the Country : he had appeal/1d to the Gentlemen of Ireland to., assist; in promoting the "effedual colleilion of the Revenue, .and to . the Minister of ' the Empire, tn, give • efted to a 'system of economy. These, however, were not of themselves sufficient to save the Country, and lie should look upon himself as deficient in duty, if he negleiled to remind the House, 'that something More Was necessary to save that Country from the ruin, which, -by the statement of the Right Hon. Gentleman, and by the Papere on the T.ihle, appear. ed to be impending Over it. No man lamented more than he did, the circumstances of exclusion under which the present Administration was formed ; yet whatever loss he must suppose the pnblic service. to have sustained thereby, when be looked at the Right Hon,Genneman (Mr. PITT), when he recolleiled the experience he had had for act years in the Govern. meni of Ireland—when he called to mind the cir. cumstances; feelings, and sentiments under-which he had retired from office, and wtien he perceived him returned to power, convinced, as he must be, that Ireland had been miserably governed, and that no. : thing had since occurred to change those sentiments and feelings, "though he lamented the principles of exclusion on which his Administration was 'formed, : he could not hot (mien . favourably to the Cease of his Country, from the return of that Right Hon. Gentleman to power. He hoped and trusted the Right Hon. Gentle Man would bear the matter in his mind, that he Would..take with him to his closet during:the recess,. and employ on it his gi. gantie faculties, and that he should not he misled by weakass, bigotry, or wickedness. lie could nor. avoid adverting. to these circumstances at ,a moment when•they were going to impose nearly one half in addition to the Baud amount of the Revenue in Ireland. The Honourable Gentleman then ad..• verted to the suspensioo of the Habeas Corpus, Mt, and the Bill for establishing Martial Law, the pulley of which measures, 'or of repealing theta, in the present instance he did not mean Weiner• into ; • and after bearing honourable testimony to the: mih. ner in which the governMent of Lord I IA R h.td been administered, concluded with a declaration of his wish to rivet the attention of the Right Hon. Gentleman. (the CHANceLLou of the. ExcArtQuix) • to the State of Ireland, and that the security de. pended not upon Fortifications or Blockading Spia. drons, but upon the AgetliOns ind Loyalty of the People. I Bill was then proceeded with in the third _reading ;* and after some prngtess had been madC; the tnitherroceeding was put off 011.to.murrow. SCU reli BARLEY. Sir Jou tt SINCLATIL, as dim Report of the Com. niirtee respecting the comparative value 91 Eng. fish and. Scorch •Barley and Malt had, been ROMS time before the House, gave notice, t!iat he should on Wednesday next bring lortVA a Dilution on the sithjetl. EGYPTIAN• MONUMENTS. Mr. Rose Drought op a Petition from the Tuts. tees of the aritish Museums praying a g r ant o f the min of, 16,0001. to enable them to make an addititin to the , British Museum, in order to secure those valuable Monuments from the effects of the. weather. The lion. Member stated, that the application had the sanCtion of the Crown, and that the object of the Petitioners Was to provide suitable apartments for the preservation of invaluable monuments of antiquity, which had been acquired by the valour, intrepidity, and skill of our Troops ; in an Expedition seldom equalled in the annals of any country,•and which were now tinder a'alte4 ex posed to the injuries of the weather: Sir JOHN SiNCL,AIR thought the sum a consider. able one, and wished to know whether it was in. tended to submit thoPetithm to the consideration of a, Cotnmittee, 'or to vote the sutn. in the Committee of Supply, without further investigation ? Mr. Rosa. replied, that he did not propose to vote moo than half the SUM this Session. All that could be done during the recess would be to lay the foundation, and no money would be laid out but what was absolniely necessary,: •Mr. Ft ANC is wished to have stated to the House the nature of the monuments which required a sum of t6,0ool„ , to provide thein with a shelter from the Weather. • ' • Mr. Wistottma thought it an objets of much gfeater importance, if it was desirable to lay ow a sum of 16,00a1, to know giat it was to be corn. mitred to prOper hands. The CitAilcaLtos of the EXCH Vlt stated the ohjen to he not merely to provide .a saved's& but a fit residence for these important monuments, as well as for any others which, the accidental circurnst:mces, or the zeal t at individusle t might hereafter supply ; and he trusted, whf.n kith was the °Neel, that the House would not be disposed to cavil at the amount of the sum, which would be a disgrace to the national magnanimity. Mr. SHER titAN did nor mean, to oppose the ap_ plication, but if the Museum were to be added to at the public expense, he trusted thest some measurei would be taken to affird greater facility for the ad., mission of a larger proportion . of the Public to the : enjovniept of the exhibition. Mr, Wm. SM ITH thOusht that too little had been expended on objeets of so much interest to the na. tional charatter and taste. As the matter had been explained by the CHAN C R1.1,01t of the 4CH PciU ER. he thought that but one sentiment could prevail in the House, Sir ArttAt Ati YOUNG- VillalCated the Tiustiesof she Museum. The , Petition was onletetl-to lie on the Table. The CRANCILLOR of the Excutgova moved,, that the Emitnate and Plan, alluded to in said Peti., tion r be laid .before the }louse. -After it few words in explanation from Mr. 13ANICits and Mr. Rosa, the Plan and Estimate were orderctl. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. The CHAPICKLI,OI( of the Excsisqvatt. moved the Order of the Day fir the }Lithe to go into a Ctimmitice of Supply, and that the Reports of the Civil List, of the last, and likewise of the present Sessi"nt and the sever a l Accounts relative thereto, together with the Achli t io na l E.timates for the pltvy, the Sietril •Leone Company, .the African Ctstnpany, and the Veterinary College Extimatp, be referred to.--,Ordeted. The Rouse having rescle,ed into the Committee,: ' Mr. A.LRXANi/ER in the Chair', The CIiANCE.LLORof thr EXCHEQUER ob. served, 'that ' as : tree state of His IVl:ejes!) , ./s Civil List had been so fully before the fieuse, in the Report both of the last and the pre3ent Session, it would .not be necessary fur him to detain the C,ommitree, , by. dwelling at any length upon the.subjed towhieb he proposireoeall the 'attention of th e C omm i ttee ; The Reports skewed, that a considerable exceeding hid taken place in several atticles- in the year t . 8024 heyondehe Estimates of t 787. This exceeding, it appeare 1, hie; taken place only in acuities of three descriptions ;---first, in the third class, which come ptehereied the S..laries and Establishment's of Foreign Ministers ; next in the fourth class, eomprehendin‘ the .Expences of the Huthelecild ; and lastly, in:that class of Expenditure, ranked under the head of Ogee sional payments. Many of the items of increase tender this. head, arose from the addititinel eipenceei Of Foreign Service, from objets of internal police,' from the augmented expences of the two Haulers, of Parliament, from secret f areign services; and the additional expence in Messengers, in conscquence4 the renewal of hostilities. The H :Use, on the groundi stated in the . Report of tßgt, had voted .a sum todis c'earge the arrears then due on Hif M qesty'sCivil List, and when they had voted that sure, ,it had et t e: peared tri be their, opinion that some further arraege_ merit should 'he . mule- to .trovitle against the IICCS.!

The Right Hen.

Many of those arose tram the War, foto the internal circumstances and siltation of tke Country, from increesed Law Exeene;s, from the Additional Expence for Stitionary foe Parliement e from the 'arrangement for the improvement of both Houses, .and from the Multielicition of Private none of which ought properly to be ch aged on the Civil List. It wou'd also afford a foe. titer Inducement. to relieve the Civil . hest fre t s such Charges, that 'they might. vary with cite:ult., stances, and !tome of them even be diminished on-tii&. recurrence of- Peace. Many ton wenid increase' from the effeft of that inclease in the objects of Lee gistation,' arising nut of the growing prosperity og the , Country.'filse Charges came' all under the heed of' Occasional Payments, but it was net his intention to propose to transfer them all to be. an nually voted, but such a prnportioti of then as would PM 111111 to rite Sum of 135.P001. , on the Scale on which they were estimated tot the present year, anti which would he subjet to some, ditnine. tion on the return crf Peece, 'ln, addition to the' Expencea of Printing ,for the Court of Exchequer, for' the Houses of .Perliame:nt, to a Provision fur the Officers of Parliament, to Law Charges, and certaiii' . allowances Sheriffs t they would else include 4 Provision for the French Refugees, Clergy and Laity.- The other heads ,were of a politicel nature., In the Estimates of 1787, no allowance --had been Male far Foreign Secret Service. A Sum was usually voted by Pariiatneet, under the- head of Secret Service Money, which 'was generally, insufa cient, and. the deficieney was made up out of the Civil List, but in future he 'ett - tee'flsOle Estimated Expence Shottle(be laid before the Ho t eee e in order to its being provided for by Perliem-ne.— The extraordinary alloweeces to Foreign Minist.e.es e. and the extra Contingencies in the 011 ice of Set:eatery. of State in War, could tent have nettle any pare of ra. Pence Estimate.. The seholeof the Stints for Civil, and* Political Purposes', from which he proposed tee tdieve • the Civil-List, would be, as he begoes' stated, re - meg'. This he did not think proper 3, vote at present; beesentioned it milk ley -way of explanation of What- he meant to submit to the House on a future day.. The Other preposalthae he had to mike, was a Grant of a positive addition ,to the Civil List. The etaition, he trUsted, 5v , 414 appear to Gentle Men moderate, when t 4 vas consi dered that the necessity of making ix etroacealsiellir from the increase strider the Hied4"TeitiesMeli't Billsi- in the different Departments of His. 41/140 jesty's Household, in that' of 'the Lord Ciente. berlain, of the Lord Steward,' a ci Master the Horse, and of the Master of the Robes. Nes Gentleman who rcfle'ted On the very Conattlerahte rise-that had taken piece in the price in every Artie 'etc of - domestic accommodation, could be eutenizert that Ilia Mee Mr had not confined his ExPences under that head, within limits that hail beep marked out so long Since. An increase of *et, o!. or Got. per cent, had taken place it, such arti cles since 1787. The expences *rider this heel chergeable on the Civil Lilt, amounted in do* to. 218,0001. anti he was convinced that a positive ade• dition of 6tetegol. to meet the increase in the differ rent articles, would appear m o der a te, especialleee when it was considered that these were articles that -most' intimately contributed to the-caitiff:sus uleveryi branch of the Royal Family. It would alio be a . satisfaftion to the House to be assured, that they who bad the superintendence 'of the, disbutsemeeus, were studious in avoiding any unnecessary expencee- These formed' the chief addition to the Civil List,. for it was apparent, that the other charges under the head of Occasional Payments, grew out of :the political circumstances of the Country. its the article of Pensions, there was a diminution :rather than an increase, being this year teectmel e . less them in 1802. Rite were to propose; an inereese, in proportion to the depreciation in the of money, and to correspond with the pregrossiel
