lotion of-Adhering to the Most rigid_ exenatiy ; tfnd an Honourable Admiral had said that the Navy might be kept up at two-thirds of the present ex pence. He agreed with hiM irt this; and he would . sift that quarter. These ,thirigS Were Nirorthy the attention of the House. He proceeded aoin to 0= press his surprise at the charge of insincerity, and said that Governniont would not have a leg to stand on unless they adhered to economy. The Country did not call for-Peace, blit for an inquiry into the Public Expenditure. The Chancellor Of the Ex chequer came in with the affeCtiOris of the, people, who expected that Ministers - would perform what they promised as_ to economy. He said that the rents of the canteens and the produce of the ma nure would defray the expences of the TempOrary Barracks. This was a plain assertion by which he would stand. There were sales of different mate rials at the Barracks when they were left, and be wanted to know how these had been, ac counted for ? and his next Motion would refer to this. There was a mode by which the Barrack AccOunts. might be consolidated, and 'made every three months, and he did not see why it should not be adopted. The SECRETARY at WAR and Mr. Ronsot; then mutually explained. After which the Motion was agreed to. A Message from the Lords announced their as sent to the Auditors' Bill, Lord Rodney's Annui ty Bill, and others; and requested the House of Commons' would sit some time; which, on the Motion of Lord Henry Petty, was agreed to. Mr. ROBSON then moved— " That there be laid before this House a Return of all the Sales whickhave taken place at the several Temporary Bar racks, in Buildings, rented or hired by Government. and used as Barracks, or as Barrack Store. houses, in the whole of Great Britain. That the said Return do ernbrrice all such Sales be tween the rs't day of January, 1793, and the z4th day of !tine, iBo6 ; and that it be exhibited in nine columns, in the order, and with the titles, here following, viz. rst, The name of the Parish (or station) and the County where each Sate respec tively was made ; the said names of the Parishes (or stations) , following each other in, due alphabttical order. 2d. The date of the sale. 3d, The name or the Auaioneer or Person by whom the Sale was made, and, it the Sale was a Private one, stating that circumstance. 4th, The names of the pur chasers, it less than six in number. sth, A general descrip. tion of the things sold. (Ali, The name of the iiarrack.• Master or other person under whose immediate direttion and ,superintendence the Sale took place. yth, The gross amount of the, Sale, as criglited. to Government. gth, The total' amount of all the,surns expended by Government in titting up each, Building respectively. 91.11, The number of men or horses us , ,aliy quartered an each station respedively." Mr. 191.11rDH,01 said', that if his friendstould be disposed to screen abuses on the present occasion, it would be - from a gratuitous love of abuses, be cause these abuses could not have in any way been committed by themselves .but as the' Motion went back. to 1793 it might perhaps be supposed that it might attach upon him in a different state of existence. But it was singular that when the Honourable Gentleman objeEted to 'the history of the Commissioners, on r the grounds of its retrospec tive views, he himself should have called for the de tails of a period of thirteen years. This account he thought it would be impossible to produce, or at least it would take a long time. Useful it might be—but the luestion was, whether it would be so useful as to be worth the expence andtrouble. The Honourable Gentleman promised us a nostrum that was to check all the Barrack abuses. If he could do this he would deserve the thanks of the Country ; but he promised so much that he had very little confidence in his promises. He, for his part, would rather risk the imputation of screening abuses than agree to these Motions, which he thought would be of little use; but as some had already been granted, it was not worth while to ob jeet to the present one. But he hoped this would stand as a warning against such proceedings for the future. Mr. TYRIVHIT JONES recommended the most rigid .economy. and' thought he saw a disposition in Ministers not to consider a guinea as equal to twenty one shillings. The present was a war against our Finances. He wished Ministers would not be de luded into an improper Peace, for whatever might be their talents he doubted whether they were a match for Talleyrand. But however much we depended on our Navy and Army we ought to depend mere on our economy. Economy, public' and private, he considered as one of the cardinal virtues, and if we attended rigidly to this—a fig for Bonaparte. Sir IF M. ELFORD was sorry that Ministers had agreed to the Motion of the Honourable Gen tleman. He was welcome to any popularity which he could come at fairly, but this was really de priving the late and the present Government, and Parliament of the' popularity which they . were en titled to for having appointed and continued the Military Commission. This was the more objec tionable as it was doubtful whether the Motions could be of any use. _ _ Mr. ROBSON said, that the expence would be very trifling, a.,d that the Motions were the more necessary as there was a Clause in the Mt by. which the Commissioners had . a discretionary power of examining 'into abuses that bad ceased to exist, or not, as they pleased. The expence would consist in 'the waste of pens, ink, and paper, of which there seemed to be .a great scarcity, as in stead of farms in the Accounts he had a great num ber of 1 ‘ dittos." Lord HENRY PETTY - would answer ditto, ditto, as before. He was anxious for - inquiry into abuses, and the only difference was as to the mode ; and in doubting of the propriety of these Motions cm account of the expence,..he attended to the car dinal virtue of economy. If the Honourable Gen tleman thought the Commissioners did_ not do their duty, he ought to have come - down with a Motion, to repeal the AEt by which they were appointed.—.. He would not now, however, obje& to the present Motion. After a few words from Mr. RoEsoN, the Motion was put and carried. The adjourned Debate upon the Financial Reso lutions was resumed, and, upon the Motion of Lord H. PETTY, a set of Resolutions, differing in some respeai from those of Mr. Joh NSTO NE was agreed to and ordered to be printed; A Message frtim the Lords stated their Lordships' assent to the British and Scotch Militia Officers' Allowalwe'Bill, and the Irish Post Rdads' Adjourned till to-morrow.(tbis day).

The intelligence brought .by' the Jamaica ,Mail, in the Princos, Cliarlotte Packet, which has just arrived at Falmouth, after a Passage of twenty-eight days, . . tends to confirm all we hive said in opposition to the reports in the American Papers.of the failure of MIRANDA. All the accounts which have reached the West Indies speak, with great confidence, of its expeeted succes,. The Inquiry which was instituted by order of His MAJESTY, upon a subje& of the utmost delicacy and impertance, is, we learn, concluded, and the Noble' Persons appointed to condud the investigation have; it is said, transmitted to His MAJESTY a Report con taining the whole depositions taken before them.— The first point, we understand, to which the atten tion of the Commissioners was dire&ed, was to ascertain the. parentage of a Child of, about four yeas of age, Who has been for some time taken under the protedion of, and treated with the greatest tenderness, by the Illustrious Per soilage whose condu& was the subjed of the In quiry. Upon this point, the evidence, we are in formed, was so clear and satisfadory, as to render it impossible for the slightest vestige of doubt to re, main (if any serious doubt could ever have been en tertained) upon the subject. The 'other point, upon which a very long and detailed examination took place, related to the general deportment .Of the Il lustrious Personage alluded to. The 'noun).- up on this part of the case is, we have every reason to believe, as highly honourable to the Illustrious . Personage as the former. We are not yet enabled td state whether any Communica tion will be made to the PUblie; from authority, upon this most interesting' subjea, but we under stand that a Report, containi►ig the whole of tic Examinations and Depositions, have been 'transmit ted to the two Illustrious Personages the most im mediately concerned in the result of this,lnquiry. YESTERDAY notice was given at • the Bank, that the First Lord of the Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer would be ready, on Friday next, at twelve o'clock, to treat for the sale of the First Lottery for 1806, at the Treasury, on 'the following conditions, namely, that the Lottery-should contain .25,000 Tickets; the Prizes to amount to 250,0001. the whole to be drawn out in ten days, in equal drawings, and to finish drawing on the 15th Nov. next. The times of drawirig, and the Scheme of Blanks and Prizes, to be settled by whoever may contra& for the Lottery, subjeet' to the approval of the Lords of the Treasury. Chances-will be allowed, whereby the Purchasers will be entitled to every benefit that can arise to a Ticket above the lowest Prize, which is to belong to the Seller. Every person may sell Tickets, Shares, and Chances, without a Licence ; but no person is to MAKE Shares or Chances without a Licence, which is to cost 501. Mr. Fox was yesterday able to.take• a walk round his garden, and be passed a very good night. He. is evidently better this day.

Extra& of a Letter, dated Camp Kurrinkoer, De cember 25, 1805 In my last I informed you, that our detachment had marched towards Mulke pore, which we reached on the 20th instant, just in time to prevent its being plundered by the Pendaries. They are said to be about 3000 strong, commanded by SOOPKARUM, a Sirdar, formerly in HOLXAR'S ser vice: They bad received intelligence of our having marched, and had fallen back ; on which Colonel WALLAcB immediately ordered the 2d Regiment of Native Cavalry, commanded by Capt. SimrsoN, and the 2d "Battalion of the 7th Regiment of Madras .Native Infantry (after a halt of a few hotirs) to pursue them. " On the evening; of the 22c1, after a fatiguing march Of 20 miles, our (:Tit , alry foriunately got sight of the Enemy, consisting of 1200 horse, and four guns. At first,, they appeared determined to stand the charge ; but when our Cavalry had advanced within 300 yards of their front, they broke and fled. Mir ; ing a put suit of six.'or seven miles,. we captured their • 'guns, and the principal part of their baggage ; and amongst the latter were - six standards. The loss of the Enemy, in killed and wounded, could not be ascertained, but it must have been considerable! On our' side the loss has been'trifiing, only a few troopers wounded.
