As the recommendAtion cam© from Successive rresidento of the. Board, consequently did nett oliginate with his night Honourable Friend (Mr. Domino), nothing had been said to prove that it would be improper not to g rant the iitcreaso now. General ItLITON expressed his determination to vote ag:mist any increase of silary, as the claims of the ()dicers of the Army and Navy were in. finitely greater then the claim of Civil !Officals. He was aware of the embarrassed situation of the country ; but when. Ministers talked of the flouriiih. ing state tit she, finances,. It was bts,cluly to mentlon the claims of the profession to which he belonged.— An honourable Baronet (Sir .T...kibtfuther) had they bad greater incitements than the hope of p e cuniary rewards.—" They, to be sure,". said the Honourable General, rr seek the bubble reputation in the cannon's month ; but would it procure them wine and bread ?" The Honourable. Baronet might talk of incitements—some 41i:dements were laud able; lawyers Would Sometimes leave Wesiminster Hall to neck the. Clime of ludta, to toil in their ttrocations, under a silk palanquin, or scale the back of an elephant. They mot wit h reward, and re ' turned to this country enriched with the impoils,of tins East ; but did the Hon. Gentleman ewer lmear of m eombe, of his (Gill. Vs) profeteion returning Crum t , e Continent atter the spoils of war, and the . repose enjoyed on the ‘ ground rioda a wet blanket, emiched in purse, or with army other reward, than what he acquired by his valour ?

Sir W. W. WYNNE CM not "think' the measure particularly expedient., and deprecated any hurry in carrying it through Parliament. Mr. Secretary Rvoen adverted to the Irish Vo lunteering Bill pf 1804, at which period Mr. Fox, hating suggested the intiCidlltiinn into that 'Rid of a. clause• exactly similar to that recommended by the Hon.

After a few additeited observations by 'Lord Pals me , ston, Mr. Ponsouhy, Mr..ll , rbert, and Lord G.

A m rtila ge lioni the Lords arinoonced their Lord ships' concurrence with the Pot t ugo e s e Th aty 'and .several other . 11111 s. On the motion fur going into a Committee on the subject of granting an iecrease of allowance to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, - sir J. isleweorer Wished to if; ny notice had been given on the subject ? somettuog had been dotes last Session at a very late period, and it was then understood that early t: is Session certain docu ments were to be laid beton?. the House, to prove the prope:eet increase of allOwaoce necessary. This he thought ought to be done, and it +.4 as proper that i t ot ne notice ehoUld be elver: to allow time for the dues'conside:ation of the subject. The CHANCELLOK of the Ittetteocast said he bad certainly gives police of the motion on Saturday ; but if the Honourable Baronet wished it posipontit Lid to. morsow , or any day at but a short dis tance 'el time, he had no objeCtion to the post phheineet of the subject.' It Was, !WA ever, to be remembered, that the motion was merely 'one to carry into eficd . the Resolution of last Session. Sir Joniet NEWrOUT replied, that if it war only intended tu. bring in a Bill in the regular way, en the Schiat, there would be sufficient opportunities 'fee him to express his sentiments hereafter, He did not, under all the circumstances, wish to cause any delay, but he was not aware that they had tar regts;• lar notice, Saturday not being a day on which no tices given. The Cum.:cc-Lox of the Exctiestote said, that be hied vett notice of the motion on Saturday, but it the itight Hon. 'tarot:et wished for" longer notice:, he would postpone his mein:: for a day or two: be had no objerEtion to comply with his wishes. • Sir Jour NEWPORT said, that if the Right Hon. Gerldeill2ll meant to move. far - a Bill, he seould not oppose the bringing it in,ae there would be Opportue nities of diScUssing it in it $ progress. 'The ElOuse then resolved itself into a Committee The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, s a id, would not beneceisary for him to dentin the Com mitteeos he merely rose to Move for a Bill to carry into etfeh the grant of an additional Litary which had I,tst year been voted to the Lord Lieutenant of Leland. The groundi upon which that addition was twide were fully discussed last Seision, and therefore ,he should not trouble the Committee by repeating them :• he concluded by moving-fit h:aye to bring io the Bill. Sir Jonu NawrouT said, he thought, if any ad ditional salary were necessary, it ought to be pro- vided out of the sums paid to the privy petite, with out coming to Parliament for it. Having mention,- ed the privy purse, ho thought it right to notice, that iti the papers' laid before the House respeding the payments to the privy purse, thrrewere receipts to alt of them except one, and he wished to know how it happened. Mr, W. Put.t said, that the case alluded,teby the Right Hon. Baronet happened in 1804 ; he wait not of tt tin it WO VON mentioned ; bi,l it was right that it should be,inquired into. Rut he prin cipally rose to, saris& the Right Hon. Baronet upon mother point to which he had adverted, viz. the funktaut of which the additional salary was to be Tire Might Hon; Baronet would find that the principle of thof4ill was, in the first instance, to apply the surplus of the Civil List, .which would have gone to the privy purse, towards the additional salary, and all that was now proposed was to add enough to that surplus to make up the 0,0001. The ~tAight„ Hon, Baronet knew that the surplus of the Civil I,istivas paid into the pritry purse, and that it balance WS% struck every . two years. The last pay ment was in taog ; the additional salary to the, Lord Ltentenant was to cOmmence in January is to, and all the surplus that occurred SUM: 1114 time .0111,1 go towards the payment of the increased allowance to the Lord Lieutenant. Mr. rOSTEt said, timt thottgli thete was not a formal reeeiPt* for the Stlm raid to the privy purse, which the night Hon, Bilrotwi frld alluded to, ”:1- 'here 'was the signature Of L. ,, td - Cardigan, the Krcper of the Privy Purse, which _he would not have affixed if th 9 money !tad riot been paid, , Mr. TiGtit ka , d, . he opposed the audit:emu grant to the Lord Lieutenant last year, and he should oppose it now, because be did not think sufliciait grounds had -been lid befote Partiament, to prove the necessity of it. He, however, should not now enter into the discussion, as more proper opportu- . _ Miles would occur in the progress of the Bill. Mr. W. POLK said, that as the Hon. Gentleman had not thought proper to state the ground's of his objedion to the measure, it would nut be necessary (or him "(Mr. Pole) to trouble' the Committee at, any length. Th r Hun. Gentleinan had stwed, that no gtounds had been laid before the House to chew the necessity of this increase; now he begged to state, that %hen the increase was proposed last year, lie had andies.ei the ' House at considerable length' upon the subjed. , Whether he had convinced the Hon. Gentleman, he did not know, but 'he certain. .ly had stated a number of fads to shew that the sa hry of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland nas inade quate; not one of which had been con troverttd.— It was notorious to every man acquainted with Ire land, and with the style in which a Lord Lieute nant must necessarily live, that no. man could take the office under the old salary, without being ex posed to an almost ruinous expenditure, and out of his private fortune. Wheneter the Hon. Gentle man was disposed to discuss this subject, he should be ready to ineet.iiim, and he trusted that he should be able to convince the House that the measure was necessary, and that it was one VihiCh every man who wished well to the two countries nitwit to view with baliSladit4l. The Resolution wa then agreed to. In a Committee of Supply, several miscellaneous giants were voted, and the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow. The I►tsh Hard Labour, the Glass Duties, and Rock Salt Duties Bilis, went through Committees, the Reports at wt►ich were urde►ed to be received to-morrow. Mr. 7.uattiNG•ro.N brought up the Report of the Win Dutie, Bill, which was read and tigreeid to, and the !Bill ordered to be rtad a third time to murrow. ASSESSED TAXER The CHANCELLOR .01 the EXCHEQUER rose to make a motion, at which he bad ,given noti.e. Con comiilainta had been tthde by Gentlemen coining here from Ireland of their having been ealled i tliput% to pay for their servants, tiorses, after they had • paid the assessed taxes there. It was deStrable that an arrangement should be made to remove this cause, at the same time guarding against the duties being evaded by aut,h preiences. He then moved for leUve to bring in a Bill, allowing exemptions in certain cases from the duties on car. rinses, servant, horses, and dogs. The motion was agreed to without opposition.. Mr. W H ARTON brought in a 11 . 11 for repealing certain cusioms and duties on hidei and hair, and one for repealing the Hat Duty. They were, severally read a first, and ordered , to be read a seoind time to-Morrow, as was also the Verdigtea,ti Duty Hill, Mr. Losnitsorors obtained' leave to bring to a dill to amend tie 2`3d of the King., with respect to the Coal Meters ul London. .

IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE FROM THE PENINSULA. \Vs have the ploasurti testate, that at an early hour this morning Dispatches were received by Govern ment flow) Mr. Srusttr, st. Lisbon, dated the Ist! inst. They mention that on the preceding day a tdogr2phic account had reached 'that City fro Elvas, stating that at nine o'clock on the morning of the Oth, Marshal &LILT haying colle6tecl ill his forces, made a moat desperate attack upon the A lied Army under Martha! BRISSYOIID, at Albuhera The, bailie that ensued was that obstinately co ested, and was attended with immense Imps an both .tide; : the reitilt, however, we art! happy to say, was, that the Allies were ultimately vi torions,- -and the French were compelled to re treat, leaving their wounded behind them. Gn. vernmeni have not yet received ►lie details of this important battle, but we learn with deep regret that our loss in Officers has been severe. General Hone goer is killed; Generals STEWART and Cols slightly Wounded; Colonel DUCLWORTH killed; Colonel Sir H. Mynas wounded (since dead) ; Colonel Coiuws lost a leg. The French had two Generals killed and one wounded. The Dispatches state, that the Spaniards behaved :ttltuirably well in this battle.
