for mifeonduef in ofike. And Mr. R. Dun

Mr. Whitbread has alfo given notice,
that he will, at an early day, move cer ain

of which it is faid, the refolutioas v. ill be

“ 1 he fecond head of the report refers
to the representations faid to have been
made to the 1/r<’s comm’fiioners of the
Treafury, and the Chancellor of the Ex

“• '1 he Committee (late, thet they do not
find any rcprefentation on this fubjecT was
made to the Lords of the Irealury, but
that it was reprefented to Mr. Plttt as ap
pears irom the evidence of Mr. Raikes, and
^ the admifion of Mr. Pitt himfelf.
** I he report Hates, that fdmetime ir
the year 1^97, Mr. Raika, Governor of
(he Bank, had an official interview with Mr.
Pitt. After official bu fine is was at an end,
he told Mr. Pitt, in cornerfation, the man
ner in which public money was drawn from
the bank by the Trialurey of the navy :
That he had heard the ireafury (Lord
Melville) kept calh at Ccuttis ; and that
Navy Bills were paid by drafts on that houte,
iidtead of by drafts on the Bank. Mr. l\tt
thanked Mr. Rcukes for this information.
Such Mr. Raihes, in his evidence, dates to
have been the purport of the convertor ion,
1 but, from the length of time that lias iincc
elapfed, lie is not fure as to the terms.
“ Mr. Pitt admits the general import of
the converfation as Hated by Mr. Ta kes,
I but differs with him as to the terms. Tie
! don't: undertake to recollect with accuracy,
but Hates ij in fwbftance to have conveyed
to him an imprtfiion that funis were drawn
from the Bank ami carried to a private
bankinghoufe, to a larger amount than was
fuppofed necefthry ; that he took an c arly
opportunity of liming to Lord Melville the
information he recaived from Mr. Ha kes ;
and though, he cannot ftatc precifdv what
further paffed between himfelf and Lord
Melville on the fu* j Ct he was impreffed
with a belief that iu-fums were fo transfer

the duai s of fen ice i* payments to indivi
duals, ar th m- - *. 1 be pifficult fo car
ry on fuel . m any o'her way ; that in
his coverfaii.il with Lord Melville he did
not advert to the provifions of the adt which
forbid fuch transfers, nor did it occur to
him that drawing from the Bank iuc fums
of money in fuch a way for the puepofe of
carrying on the details of office, was an ille
gal practice.— Relying on the rectitude of
Lord Melville, from the opinion he enter
tained of him, lie made no inquiry as to the
necemtyot thf practice, and was io tar lat
isfied with the general Aatement by
given that Noble Lord, that he did not
think in neceffary to communicate the ei>
cumfiance ot the cafe to any othej of his
Majefty's Minifters, cr to take any further
Heps on the ftibjcdls. lie had no know

tion cf ?>lr Raikes, until after his ret.remem
from office, he was acquainted of it by Lord
Harrowby —'1 hat Noble Lord told him
that he though.: the practice very Lingular,
and was therefore aking flops to put a fton
to it. I hat private * relit was made from
the ufe ot the money belonging to the
funds of the Navy dud no knowledge what

Scott accompanied them*
I 1 he parties met alter lun rile, and we on

'draw from the held, till one of them was
| ierioufly wounded, and they might advance
one after each lire : the diiianoe they
! were placet! at were ten flops.
.The hrit lire was ineffectual, ^aprain
: Moore milled his antagonilt, and the piitol
j of the latter hung fire and afterwards went
' off at random. 1 he Captain imagining fume
! advantage had been attempted to be taken,
[ advanced towards the General in great pd
lion, but being informed by both fetonds,
that the General's behaviour had been quite
honourable and lair, returned to his If*tion.
At the fccond fire, General Lrwith was
wounded below the right bred I ie iidmnt

unable to (land. I)»*. Scotr, who examin

He arrived in town late in the evening,

C3* Unacccvntab’e Surety,—It is well known
that for fome time pall, our trade to the Ifl

Englilh cruifers. Large facrihces of A
merican propriety have been made, by

I he fccond reafon, is, that his Country Subfcribers do
