and state of the Supplies and
for the present year; I shall trans-

the state of the Supplies, don the
and afterwards, by showing
what parts of the Ways and Means are of a pet -
sent description. First, then, with regard to the
Supplies: those for the Navy, (exclusive (.1 the ord.
trance for sea service, which amounts to 444001
amount to 1i',6177,8371. For the Army an Grcat
Britain, 10,209,9671. Fur the Army for Irelan-1,
„3.44.5,1311. Making a total of 13,643,0961. Far the
Barracks in Great Britain, the sum of 506,2371.
and For Ireland 459,4501. making a total of 975,6871.
The Conuni.sary General's department, which has
been deduaed from the Extraordinaries, will amount
to 641,5'261. The Army Expenditure, altogether,
may therefore be stated at 1 5,46:1,3101. but at the same
time the Committee most recalled, that the excess of
extraordinaries were the only articles of expenditure
which were not brought under the eye of Govei n.
meet. That excess has been much more considerable
than was formerly waled, sad the Ways and
Means already provided, do not provide for that
excess, which 1 state at ;93,790L Add to this,
that to will be necessary to provide for the various
Expeditious already on foot, or which may be after-
wards in agitation. I shalt therefore state the
a,neuut fur that purpose ; for Great Britain
9,950,0001. ,and for Ireland 600,0001. making toge-
g. tiler the sum of 3,530,0001 being something short
of the env anrdsnai in of last year ; but the Cons•
mittee will recoiled, that the charge of the
Commissary General's Department having been
dedigfed, is the cause of its being so.—
The total Supplies for the Army will there-
fore amount to the sum of 19,809,0521.; for
the Ordnance, for Great Britain, (includiag
41.2 .3'lol. for Ordnance for Sea Service) the sum
rat 3,•..f54,44,61. and for Ireland 479.310 L making
t iA. tlier the slim of 3143.7161.; for Miscellaneous
Se..vicet for Great 13:iaain the sum of 1,200.0001.
aod for Ireland the sun of 66:;,0001. :nuking to-
gether the sum of 1.666,0001. ; for the Vate of
Cre lit for Great Britain the sum of 2,800,0001. and
for Ireland the sum of 200,0001. making together
the sum of 3,000,0001. Out of tc.ia Vote of tared t
it may be necessary here to notice. that there is a
aulrsedy actually provided for Russia, tothe amount
0 500.0001. in consequence of strong repreaeat-
eons made by that caunory. Tms sum was
granted only as an advance payment, in cansirmience
of the cx.isticig Treaty with tois county ; and there
srillrvmai..;, necessary cu pay, in the name of subsi-
die,„ in e-nsequeace of other two 'navies, namely.
the sun of 80,u001. already voted this night to the
Kina of Prussia. and the further sum of 230,0001.
wall be due to the King of Sweden, in the course
of the present year, by the term:, of the Treaty
already conadisded with that Ylanar..h. But it will,
perhaps, to more regular. to explain this in the
Committee of Supply, when I come afterwardi to
p-opose a TOCC towards defraying these sums. I
o:aly state them at present, to let the Committee
see that there wail, in consequence of existing
Treaties, be 3 i 0,0001. to be added to the Warner
vote of credit for 560,001. already granted and
paid. This will make tee whole ct the subsi-
wet wanted for the prascat year, to amount to

proper to take a Vote of Credit to the :shove
amount rat a,ao,Got.ol. in order tn enable His Ma-
jesty to make goad any rata (ordinary demand that
may be made. I may add, however. that I am
not at present 311%42 of the necessity of any being
So mach then for the Vote of Credit, and for
the total joint charge of Supplies for Great Britain,
amounting in all so 45,396,5751. The separate
charges for Gnat Britain, are, first, for the defi-
ciency of malt, in lb. 200,0001.; secondly, the,
interest on Exchequer B Ils, 1,200,0001.;. and.
thirdly, the five per cents. 1797, to be paid. off,
tonouuting to 359,0001. making altogether, the
sum of 1,750,0001, By these several calculations,
it will appear, that the total Supplies for Great
Britain, will amount to the suns of. 47,146,5751
From this grand total is to be deJuaed the Irish
proportion of joint charge and evil list. amounting
to 5.515,0: 71. being equal to two-nineteenths of the
whoie, which will leave to he defrayed by Great
Britain, the suns of 41,600,13961. Now, Sir, I

I have stated, Sir. as a part of these Ways sal

remains for ass to state the advantageous terms
upon which that Loan has yesterday been sub-
weaved, tor the public. FA. every 1001. Ih...sub-

List year, which it will be reculletted was thuu;,bt
advantageous, was at the raw of el. 1)s. 7d ; so
strati as comnared with the luau of last year, there
is a gain eel 5.. pet cent. which is not to ne thought
*considerable. I should think that I had concluded
asy duty upon this occasion, by stating the amount
at the Supplies, and the Ways and Means, if it

snowier the estimate of thirty-two millio is, as ap-

creased price of those articles that are used in the
