, V MUalliitt r and nallSpOif9i in nit to amount to , 1 ,686,87 tl. that, is, the whole of the expence proposed to be voted for.the . particular branches of the Naval Service. `Beslides this, as . ,i hove already' stated there has been:a 'v.ery'considerabie increase of expenditure in consequence of the increased charges, upon the various at tiefes - of provisions necessary for th e Naval Service.' 'lt - was - hoped,' that the 'price of some of :hese articles would be reduced, but until very lately, almost all . tie articles of provisions have rather increased than diminished and under such circumstances, I found that I could not be jus. titled,- nor should. I ad according :to thy own sense Of Propriety, if I.did not .now „resort to the. House for the power of raising, if necessary, Two „Mil lions on a Vote of Credit. It will.be highly grati fying to me, if, on. the restoration of Peace, some of this Vote may become unnecessary, as well as that bur Establishment may be 'educed.; .but I could not hold out to Parliament before the conunencement of its Recess, that such .an aid. will not be 3vanted. I think it fairer to state the real case, which I hope I shall always. do the Wad' continues : nor would have been in•the poWer of the Executive Govern:. !pent to have herd out longer than the mOrith of' Oe. tuber, without'mking - this - application .to Parliament. 1 shall truly rejoice: if circumstances shall so turn oat as to 'render any, part of this provision unneces. airy ; but that -Willa I prOpoie at present is no Mere than the exigency blaffaits requires. I shall therefore, with a puled readiness to explain every thing that requires it, an d to answer as well as 4 , :am able tiny question, which any ; Member may Pleasedto put to me, mOve; " That it is the opi. Ilion of this Committee, that. a sum not exceeding Two Millions be granted:to firs MA J ESTY, to en. able Has Mkt Esty to take such measures as the Caigency of aXiira allay require.'.' The Question being put, Mr. }ONES' said, that the Minister stated with great truth t h at t hi s w a s a g rea t ilerriand:—,lt, was, certainly, an alarming, sum. The Right Hon'..Gen tleman had, with great credit to himself, on a for trier occasion, diserainied all' concern 'with the last " r " C elltiVe Government; and this it was necessary for him to do on his own account: - He hoped the present Chancellor of the Exchequer would' see the necessity of stati n g t o the House ) - in 'order that the rubric might kno‘ip, when the late Administration (11 ded., and when the present began. For his own 'art, he rathe r 'f e lt this proposed Two Millions "te of Credit, to arise out of the defic:encies of the late Administration ; because the Right Hun. Gentleman . alluded to the Armed Neutrality, which certainly did 'grow out of the measurer of•the ?ate Administration, and so of course did the al. lowanc e made . to Seainen detained under the late Embargo: He 'should •be extremely happy to see that to which the Right Hon. Gentleman alluded appear before us, namely, 'That we were travelling on the road to peace, for it did appear to him to be very necessary ; but he would ask in What =rate -we were with regard to Negotiation ? 1 his, maviever, he would Say,' that if there were publish.: Rd on our parta Manifesto .on.the subjel of our in clination to Peace, he . was perspaded the people of r.ranc e woald "Shaw their wish .for Peace, for they. * rslied it air njueir as,4the-yeople of England did, to "'bout it was so essentiali. - ttilsrlie ; .Waa persuaded fi l eY epuid not subsist for time without t4a_klanifoto were pnlashed 'on that sUbje s sl, the a,;. cgniui would be obliged to' follow, our ex.. ~and attend to what we published, ' or ire Nrld not sit long on the Throne of Eratiee.

With respea ta'the application of the two millions now proposed, if it - gliould be the ple4 . 611 re of the House to grant it, he ' begged to he an ( letyood as notkpledgirrihimselfl6 apply, the whole ?f It to the'Naval Service ' although tt waS. to the it.lcrelsed dem a nd s o f thatSeritic'ethat this ' applicai on , Aeasowing.. He was I not^award ,aily oOler o t_ s . cr vatio n necessary for him to_ niake,....oiezpi..l.l3at which referred to the Vote of Credit of Saco:mot. that vas ' 500 ) C001. for Great Britain, sntl 1 . . . _ for ireland—='-306,600i. were since now for the sistance...of Portugal, - : so that now theie retnained . out of dfat part of alit. 'Vole. of Credit, which was applicable to Great 'Britain, ioo,ool. 'Mr. TIERNEY said, - that the Right Hon: gen_ tleman who preceded the present - Chancellor of the Exchequer in Officf (Mr,PrTT) had, the time of pro posing the last Vote of Credit, expressed some con cein that there was no possibility of-sending out any money to. Portugal ; but now the Matter stood thus --the original Vale of Credit proposed by the late Minister for this year was Beio,toOoh.; that was 500,0601. - for England, - and 300,0061. for Ireland ; - arid - now it Was proposed to vote Two Millions mare. Now' the Right Hon. Gentleman said, that this was not to be striftly applied to.the Nary—if nor, why enter into a detailed account ? By this it appeared that's Vote for one purpose might be ap plied to another, and. this was his constant objeaion to a Vote of Credit ; for we voted large stuns of money, Witham knowing to what purposes they . were to be applied. The Right- Hon`. Gentle man had had gfeat' credit with the Mouse for having _proposed a Vote of onlyso,oool. for Secret Service this year ; but how were the House to know that part of this money now pi•op6sed. to - be raised upon a Vote 'of Credit, might not be employed .to make good tile deficiency of a Vote of Credit ? No body would .knoW this without much more explana tion than the Right Hon. Gentleman had yet given ; these wereihe things that made him tinable.to pur sue, the inclination he 1111 to support Ministers. The CIIANCRLLOR Iithe'EXCHEQUER *said, that the TWo Millions now proposed Ito be voted, cortered the 300,0001. for 'Portugal, so that.the fereoee was not now to be computed as between 2,503,0001. as stared by the Hon. Gentleman; but' as between 2,300,0001. and 800,0001. 'for the 309,0901. were comprized in the 2,000,0001. The Right Hon. gentleman alluded to (Mi. Pir'r) took credit for 'only 800;000l. thit was soo,oool. for Great Britain, and 300,0001. 'for Ireland. He did not imagine that the 'Right Hon. Gentleman then foresaW the Subsidy TO, Portugal, and whether he did or not, certain it was that he could not know the amount ; hut the circa was the same us to this Vote, for it was not In Contemplation, to vote the rernainder of the soo,oool. , Mr. 7IERNEY said, that according to the pre sent statement, there would not be, out' of the whole Vote; for the real purpoSe of supplying any exigency that might . arise, (the true spirit upon which a Vote of Credit ought to be adopted) any more than about 100,0001. a stem that would, he feared, be very in sufficient. . _ _ Mr. STEELE said, that from sonic ,things which had been said by the Hon. Gentleman who spoke last, it was'necessitry for 'him to explain 'someinat ters. Thelion. Gentleman bad stated stich -objec tions as he had been in the habit of doing 7 -The meant . fair objeZtions—that estimates were . stated for set_ vices for which they, were not ultirnat,ely applied— Now pn. the subjed of Estimates he could s'peak from experience the difficulty of fraMing an Esti mate at the beginning of a Session .was so - much be yond what any, Member of that Meuse, who' had not been conversant with the official part of it, and had not the means of lowing it, that . it. might be fairly said to be beyond .t,he conception of such a person; so that 'there ought to -be alloWanceS made for inaccur4cies - in statements before hand, by way of estimate, when they came .to be compared with thefafts , as :they afterwards appeared. ,He was no fdypme .. fpr ;pity misrepresentation to the House, S I M I ' Ali proposing a vote for, one thing when it was intende4 fOr •ariother ; so .far from it, that lie weuhi.jdin in reprobating in the Strongest trms such'ondna. As to the 'Army, the Estimates on them were .ogectained without difficulty, for the estatlishments Were.,gxed and ascertained, at , least neatly4o, and so they were always correctly stated. —The only subjea• of variation came - oat of the ,Fxtraordinary Service. It was well recolleaed, that until a late period indeed the pra6liee vas continued, cif .neat, voting voting any inoney for Extraur diniries, but of paying, Without. any authority of Parliarneti,t, Pfterwartis corning to Parliament ,fpr a *Ote. to cover the expense which had been thus ineurred-that was the old pradieeit was a r n imprpper pradiee;,and ,his Right . Hon;Friend Ptyr) hait'rlone eyery . thing in his power, to reniedy it. Why then should large sums .of nioney.be called 'for, which were not included in any Estiinate His ans‘yei.was, because the demands arose from ex rradtdinary Oeca.shins, the amount. of Which vary so often that it is impossible tp form before-hand a correh Estimate. Suppose Miniiters Were to,cOmc forward with an Estimate, and "to state, that . for such a' head of Service they wanted so much ; and . such another - so much, what . ' would be `the conse quence ? :Why, if 'afterwards the raft should turn out pthetwise than was 'foretold, Gentlemeniwould say, ‘ 0 We took it for granted that you 'wanted. so much money .for such a service, and we voted it for you, and so much for another, and we voted it for you ; but now we and that you have ernploYcd it for porposes for which it was never intended to have been voted by us,,and therefoie this is a misappli cation of the public money.".;-He - had - knowti these. charges made against Ministers, in his opinion, always unjultly ; but they h a d'been exhibited, and, they had. the, effectof creating some prejudice, More, or . lesS against Estimates, they had peen stated. There was no remedy for thii,,eXcept putting *under, one head the Extiaordinaries: of the -Army, and nicking; Ministers : Ministers 'afterwards to account for every thing that had aeluatly'been expended.—T wo mil lions add. an halt had 'for two Sessions been‘stated as, Extraordinaiies of the Army-They had - shied come. before the House in detail ) and they - hat ap t pepred very nearly actor:ln - 1g to the 'accoung been :of 'thern. The 'faiiese, 'accounts' were given that the nature of the' thing WOuld Col ) npll!ints Were 'indeed made;ithzii the dates 'of 'sonic - Fartetits were . nOe . aceurately stated. , Now he .would submit to the HOUSE., -whet tiler theie-appeaiiiiin air 'parr Of thii'.'a desire t 9 , conceal anr,thing ?

He ought not.to be suffered to say.; that it ought not to be given if alehouse or dered it ; but he was submitting to the-I-taus& rea sons) why no such thing ought to be ordered. • The whole sum stated in the Account which had,been fonndlatilt with, had been paid within the period stated in the account; and if there was a deficiency in this account; he desired leave to take the, whole fault of it Jrpon „himself, if there seas any fault, for' he di rettathe Accounts to be so stated--so far withtespett to the Army Extraordinaries. Now, he COetended, that if the eondutt of his Right Hon. FriencilMr. Pere) 'was, fairly and .correttly stated, the House would see a degree of accuracy that would be from in all his statements. 'This arose an anxious desire of his Right Hon. Friend to prepare every thing he had to submit with all the accuracy of which the thing was capable- and when at the end of a Session his Hon. Friend had found the'EXe penditure more than the Estimate, he had .alWays come for Ward in a manly manner, ,and stated the feel to be so, and asked. for whatever more Supply was wanted. His Right Hon. Friend had stated the Vote of Credit he wanted of soo,oool. for Eng. land, and 300,0001. for Ireland.—What he had in his contemplation then, Mr. STEELE said, he did not know ; it was true his Right Hon. Friend had said, that Subsidies r to Foreign Princes were poi then in his contemplation : by which, however, he must be taken to mean, that of .§uhsjdies to the Ester:age, the ELECTOR of BAVARIA, or 'to some Power with whom we were under some Treaty, or some recent ,Engagement. He did not say any thing against the advance of this sum, ofemoney to Portugal, if the House should au thorize the issue of it by a Vote of Credit. Here he went over the Statements of-Ar..ADDINGTO'N, and approved of them tor their accueacy, the subject of tl.,e Vote of Credit,' he Said, it w:ts a measure adopted_ by the Hoose on - a Statement - _ of the exigency of aflaits, Which was the- 6ml:course; There were many instances of-applying the Vote of Credit to the'Serviee 'of . .the•'. Army and Ordnance : there was always a -hope'that the whole of a Vote of Credit might not be wanted ; .but it was yonel in case it might .be: absolutely' necessary: • Now, •if only 1,600,0001. was wanted for .the-'Navy, , and the rest of this Vote 'of Supply. should, during the Recess, .he . applied 'to' the Army, he appre hended no Member of than 'House would say that. Ministers had miseondneted themSelres in this matter, or (misapplied the' ,Vore of the -House:. If any thing should Arise during the recess which should make it necessary -to 'apply part' of this money to- the ArMyi Ministers'..were.not,to bccon sidered as being debarred friatn so,deitig. This he took to be the true.nature of a Vote. of - Credit: The . Hause would not tie down the 'application • ,of. the money to - any: particular service, 'to, -the- absolute, eXcluston of the rest, for it was the essence of a Vote of Credit to provide money against exigencies thar were uncertain, and it( was impossible to state before:hand, to what service-that was to apply. Sir ANDRE' HA MMONa followed Mr. STEELE on the 'same ground, and specified the Items in which the modern mode of making,up the - Navy Accounts were superior to those - that were made in flintier times, particularly in .the adoption of the plan of issuing Exchequer 13ills of 90 days only, by which the enormous discount of between re and tb per Cent, had 'been put an' end to, and Which was one of the'causes of the pres'ent itpplication, for in former times large sums of money might be laid oat on the. strength of 'Exchequer Bills, With the danger of their beieg at a discount, but now that Would not take place without a 'previous. applica tion to Parlianient. ' , • Mi. GREY took , a . view all'rthe observations . of the Hon.' Baronet, and differed from him in-con clusion e he took a view also of what .was said by Mr: 'STE ILE, from whom he 'differed also. He ad mitted that Some alloWance was due when there was inaccuracy - in Public Accounts, but that was to have its limits, 'and the inaccuracies , ip the Estimates of the lete CliMiCEleeott of -the Kkeo EQU ' heyOnd seeh limits. He said, that rhe.Ciseeeree - - LOR of tii he EXCEUPIt might elweys have in;" tended' to be correct_ in 'Estimatesi hut, contended, - that whntevt r Irk intentions were, no . nem was ever rhore unfortUriate in the feels, as events had followed his Estimates or his Predidions.
