It bad been the fortune of verpniany of the 'Members of that House now present, to be culled at different pe riodS to the administration of puhlie affairs ; but during which the times of peace bud been unfortil nately so contracted, that their efforts were con nected with scarcely any thing but a Will Yet they certainly had the gratification of reflect ing, that the war-but thens which, they had found it their ditty to impose, while they We're eeeessat r and anavoidahte, had bad the effect of inftlaing such It noble and generous spirit amongst the people as hod carried the country proudly throngh% a con test unexampled in vieitoitudes and dangers. this respect they had the consolation of thinking. that they I n tl performed,' ,of all the ditties thee owed to their cot e try, the. one which was Most gratifying and sacred. We might now, for tits first time, °east:lets as having leroken through the pet iod of war ((or the last year in a wear degree partook of the war eXpenditere), and the House was now colled on. to "look at the state in which the tare had left the /76611 . 11:y. .

Nu country could be considered as founding its System on a wise (outing , unless i ts -expenditure • 'woe even reduced withiu its. income. That flits country might not be enabled to netke every pos sible reduction in the first yeas of a peace system,. ,was a circumstance that ought not to discourage the House, as we did not arrive at this state of things i m mediately after the Peace• which termi 7 nate7l the contest in the year 1783; mid if; from unavoidable eircemstences, this year might n o g he marked ivith so gratifying 4 character as conlif be wished, yet the House ought to see the pee- bability in a reasonable course.of time, ..olthiogs regaining their proper level. Altogether, he was proud - to think that the principle of - reduction might birexpected to arrive at its height at a much earlier peilod than that which it attaieed after the termination of the American Wee. In the'orditetry course in which the besiuesS of the State- is submitted to Parliament, it had been usual to la) before the Utilise the Estimates for the*Navy in the first instance,which were followed by these of the Artny, and the other branches of the service. Bin it had appeared !obis Majesty's Seteants on this occasion, that befoit the Honse proceeded to the getter:4 investigation, It 'would be convenient fur them to receive, by anticipa Cvm, such to d,..seription as, would outbid them to see,. at one view, the particular scale of expen diture on nbiele his 'Alajesty•s (Liverhttlent n''eret in the first instance prep a red to act. ,lie was aware that, it u as the opinion twtriy . mot; that it would. have been better if Minis:se:Cs hail called Parliament togrethq at an earlier. pe riod, or that they had attended to the intimation of a Noble Lord, given last Session, respecting reductions. But he. wus confident that on due tellection, Cite House would not now be, generally of titat opinion. It was !tot in the first inometnie,„ of _peace that the Home conld be competent to take a full and deliberate view of the whole of the public expenditure. Ile thetight it would be better in the first instance for Violaters to subtnit. to the Houk., un'tler their public 'responsibility. their own views of the sithieet, than to leave Gentlemen to runt race With the St:rvants of the Crown, without having any explicit e xposition before them. .fle therefore trusted that the Hoose would be convinced, when they came to look in to the subject, that Minister's have not foiled to look wit the most scrupulous anxiety to every poin-t, lit* order to propose snelt, reduc tions as might be futon!

Mil!groves,- a native of •11rist 01, (Eng.) one of the Crew of - the British brig Waterloo; laving dead upon the deck of the brig. Hope, of New Yot k, at Crafts' wharf. After a patient investi gation, the Jury returned a verdict itt substance, that the deceased had come to his death by being shot in his right , side, by Thomas Rafehman, mate of the schooner Jefferson, lying in the -BalllC Tack. On this verdict, and the evidence • con nected with it, Elatchntan was committed to - jail; to take his trial at the next Cowart of Sessions ; Captain Parker, commanding the schooner, was held to bail, to give evidence in the cast on the trial... Th e facts connected with this, unfortunate transaction appear to be these :—A hog had pr jumped over board, about 10 o'clock the preceding evening, from the British brig Thomas Naylor; which was , loond by some of the. crew of that vessel to have been taken up by Nlr. It the mote of the, Jefferson they accordingly demanded it as their property ;. but the.mnuner of niaking the demand being considered offensive by the mate, he refused it to them. A similar de mand,- made by the Captain•of 'the Thomas Nay lor, was also refused. This . , it appears, irritated the seamen, and being jolned.by others, they pro ceedell'about 12 and I o'clock at night, on, board the brig Hope; lying near the schooner Jefferson, and made a third demand;thicatening to take the bog by force, ilk was not voluntarily given up. ‘Vbile this wits passing, the mate of the schooner fired upon and wounded tVilliain anti' the fire being repeated'several tines; he w a s tally wountled,• fell opOw the deck, .and expired. The Captain 1,11111 mate of the schooner' were then taken by the city guard, and retained at the gnard-house until Saturday forenoon - , , when the latter was examined belos•e J. EL Mitchell, -. Esq. and committed to jail.
