Lord HENItY PE rry ruse, and now... ~ !
Order of the-Day for the House going into a •.. : -
mince, for the purpose of taking into c.m i ler .. .
the state of the pubii- Finances; and also, te,- f. ;
several Ails relating to the reeempoon of the I JO-
lic Debt, should be referred to the considereion of
said Committee.
This being accordingly donee-
Lord HENRY YEITY again rote. and ad-
dressed the Chairman of the Conamittee. in a
!nog and able sp-ech, of which the fel/owing is
neatly the purp rt :--" Mr. Hob:louse. I fee', as I
must inevitably aadeaasereily- doet Ibis moment,
reohiiderable weieat upon my mind, arising from
tile vast magnitude and importance el the suojea
bet ere me; bit I certainly, at the same time, feel
some c insolation in reflecting. that that vary mag-
nitude and importance wid give me rene deans
upon your indu.genee, and that of the C marnittee.
Upon the statement which I may hare to make
upon the :lemurs which my Bight Hon. k rter.l
(ear. Vansittart) has just now moved for, must. in a
great degree, depend that natioeel prosperity ane
greatness, which, they thew, are not tire mere
boests or self-coeglatuletion of this Country ; but
are, in faft, the pidlars and foundation on which we
are to rely, in our future twat:els for our freedom
and existence as a nation. It is, I say, ts• the staw
of our national finances, that our future security and
welfare are to be committed. I feel strongly, that.
notwithstanding the degree of Zrynets and prolixity
which may appear to exist ice the investigation
of ;itch a sir ijedl ; it is one which I, its my pr:sent
oilicial situation, am bound to submit to a Cnairnirtre
cf this House, and that the various complicated .sad
minute details of it are such es will Miele me to as
patient and indulge..t attention. Sir, lam pertehly
aware, that it is, although unt wholly unprece-
dented, yet eertaiciy an unusual course of peozrea- e,
inz. that a person. le.such a situation- as I ... ,
should open v. the public a knowledge of the Su; -
plies, at a period prior to the Iciasi ; but I true, to. t
(rum whet I shall submit this nuel:, 1 shall be a •
to satisfy the Como-titre.: of the propriety eel u; g . t
necessity of me a loptckg such a ii-oczsiere ice t. .e
present year, and upon the present occesion ; there-
fore, without detaining tee Conarnetee exith say s'
big erTrace, I shall proceed to that naeraiive 01 ---

there has been voted fur the saves: of the bievy,
exclusive of the Ordnance, for Sea Service, the bt.411
of 16,977,8371. ; for tire Army of Great Britee ,
the House has voted the sum of tu,2149671 :
and to: the Army in Ireland, the btagt I i
3,415,1311. shaking altogether, for the Army of
Greet Britain a. , Ireland. a MI" ata,ooLirg
to 1.3,61.8,09e1. For the Barrack; of Great Br-.
taus, there has been voted the suns of et(i,237i.;
and for the Barracks of Ireland, the sam of
46e,4501. making in all, for both countries ties "
total sum of 9ii3oes7l. For, the expences attending
the Commissary General's Department, there has -7-7
been voted the sum of 641,5::;i1.; and for the Ess
traorditiaries of Great Britain and Ireland, the sum
of 2,718,4741. deducing, from this last vote, the
sum which has been taken out t 3 make the subjc&
of a particular estimate for the Commissary Gen:.
ral's Departrnere, as has been explained by me
upon a former night. Ihe total for the Aimy, -,
therefore, including Barracks, Commissary Gen.•
ears Department, and Extraordinaties, amounts to
17A:43,71361. There has been voted for the Ord.
mince of Great Britain, toe sum of 3,2;i4,4601.;
and for Ireland, the suns of 479.246 t. :making alto.
gether, for the Ordnance et both countries, the
sum of 3,743,7461. For Miscellaneous Services,
there has been voted, for Great beitain and Ireland,
the suns of 1,800,06e1. It is my intention, Sir,
to propose a Vote of Credit, amotriting to
2,400,0001. out of which there is to be eskee one
million due for Subsidies in Treaties now existing.
Besides the 2,4e0.0001. which 1 have stated, there
is also to be allotted the sues of sac,ooth. as are
pliceble to subsidies, according to existing circur. . -
stances ; a sum which, however, miy riot oe a 1
which may be required in the present state oi is .
rope; but at this moment I have 0J re4s.in to i o
lieve, that a larger sum, or even that sum, we. • •
found necessary. The total gland charge, ; r
Great Britain and Ireland, will, by my caleufe-ii• ,
amount to the sum of 43,8 t I ,34d1. 1 here is to ti
added to that charge, the sons of 2.10001. to
make up a deficiency in the duty oil Malt, which
occurred during last year; and for services not too:,
meshy voted, the sum of csa,cooi. owing to the usual
discounts arising in the Loan and Lottery, whites
it was found impossible torm:ily to ascertain; but
which tall to be mad: Good afterwards. There is
also to be added. the interest of Exchequer Bills
for the year I dO7, anicuotirg to 1,20!).0i..1. It is
necessary also, to vote for use ietere,t of the U •
funded Debt, which formerly met wi.h the arm.
bation of the House ; and als.) the interest et twelve
per cent. upon the Loysny Loan, mssiog alto. e-
ther the sum of 1,000,ua01. Upon these miaciph ,
therefore, the toed euepiies to be vote.' a I
amount to eS,ell,:• 1.31. From this is to be dedne - , .
ed the Irish proportion of Supply and Civil Use,
amounting to twe.seventeenth. of the above
sum, or ehout 5.314,2;51.1 so that there wi 1 '
he remainine a total in be defrayed by Gen t
Britain, amounting to 4042.0651. Harlot thus
