[ IRISH LLECTION RILL
Sir JOHN NEwPORT said, that from what had
passed relative to the lush Eleaion Bill, he pro-
}wed to &let pressing it forward at present, only
to have the blanks filled up, and to have it printed.
He was certain, that the more it was read and an-
derstodd by the people of Ireland, the more they
would approve it It was, therefoie, his intention
to have it circulated in Ireland, dot log the recess of
Parliament, and very early in the neat session he
would bring in another hill, etaaly to the same ef-
Wt. He therefore moved. " thatthe House would
resolve itself into a Committee on the sail Bill."
Oa the question, that the Speaker do leave the
chair.
Cannel V Eli F.K ER said, he did not rise to op-
pose it, as the Bight H in. baronet had agreel to
withdraw this Bill for the present session; but to
iy, that he objelled a:together to the principle of
the Bill, that it was a harsh and violent attack upon,
ilo
and a disfranchisement of, a great body of the Elec-
tors of Ireland, of their corporate rights. which had
been hinded down to them from their ancestors, for
ogee past, ar.sl which it was his duty to protea and
defend. And he then gave notice to the Right
' Hon. Rennie', that he would oppose the ISili when-
ever he brought it forward ; and that he would.
s, during the recess of Parliament, visit every corps)-
i la-110 in Ireland, of winch he was a member, which
were fie.r or aie, and would point out to the people
the injuries they would sustain by the Bill. and he
had riti doubt but there would be numerous peti-
tions aiming it.
The bill then went through a Committee, was
eidered to be printed. as amended, and the report
W he taken into coniiieration this day two months.
' Mr. ALEXANDER said, that as the Right
~. Hon. Baronet had deferred the bill to the next
Session, Is: would, with the leave of the Hat:se,
withdraw the motion of which he had given notice,
• and by which he only intended to draw the attention
of English Members to this Bill, and to obtain leave
to being in a Rill to regulate the Elation Laws of I
England; which was accordingly withdrawn.

The House resolved itself into a Committee of 1

to various regulations which had been made ante-

doing away. 11e the'refore gave notice, that he
would, early in the cbmmencement of the next Ses.
sion of Parliament, move for leave to bring in a 1311 l
to remove all such obstrudions, so far its the same
was found to be predicable.
The Report of the West India Trade Bill was
brought up an i read, and ordered to be further
considered on Wednesday.
The Committee on the Post-Office Regulat:on
Bill, which stood for to-day, was postponed to

MESSAGE FROM HIS NIAJFIsTY.
Lord H. PETTY announced, from the Bar, a
Message from His Majesty, which was read }rum
the Chair, and the purport of which was—" That
His Majesty, being desirous to make a turther pro-
vision ter aged, disabled, and woanded Seamen,
requested the assistance of his faithfid•Commons,
to citable him so to do ; and for that benevolent
purpose, he had resolved to apply such parts of the
prizes as should be oondernned for the use of the
Crown, towards the euppol t, and in aid of, the Royal
Hospital and the Chest at Greenwich."
The Message was ordered to be taken into con-
sideration in a Committee of the whole blouse to-
morrow.
The second reading of the Irish Rerenue Regula-
tion Bill WAS postponed to Wednesday.
AUDITOSS' itILL
Lord H. PEI-1 Y said, he rote in pursuance of
the notice he had given, si.rne days ago, to move
for leave to bring in a 13.11 for consolidating the
.iwo Boards of Commissioners for auditing the
,Public accounts, and to make a more effectual
roviston for Luditing the Public Accounts. He
no doubt the House would believe his assay.
Attlee,: that His Itil iii.sty's Mini:tees had used no de-
lay that could psiseibiy be avoided ; hut had, with
every possible degree of iadu.try and attentien,
which the vast magnitude and importance of tiie
teeibitd required, proceeded to bring the matter to
maturity, and not a moment had, on their pits,
been lost. It was with great satisfaction, therefore,
that he was now able to stand tot ward, in order to
stew to the House, the outline or sketch of the
ilisiCasure he had then to introduce. He believed it
would lies! be necessary for him to tread over again
the whole ground which he had so fully explemed
on his first opening of this subjed ; but it wou:d be
41karficient to give, as briefly as possible, such a state-
slimiest as would give the 1-louse a tolerably cotred
idea of the nature and objeds of the bill, for bring!
ing in •if which he *as about to move ; in order to
do which, he would just mention the amount of
the several sums which remained unaudited. There
were, he said, fifty-two millions delivered over to
the Auditors—there were then under examination
169 millions—three millions not delivered over to
the Auditcrs-21 years of the Army Accounts not
delivered over, which amounted to 209 millions.—
Of the Navy Accounts, for the same period,
1,820,0001. forming altogether a total of about
534 millions—a vast mass, and which it would cer-
tainly be of peat advantage to the pnblic to get
reduced as speedily as possible. To do this, with
as much speed and effect as possible, it was pro-
posed, in the Gist place, to consolidate the two
Boards, and to add four Commissioners to the
now existing Boards, which would make the whole
number to consist of ten. One of those so added, to
be the Chairman. with an additional salary.—
The nomieation of those Commissioners, it was
proposed, should be in the Lords of the Treasury,
and the following was the mode in which they were
us be divided, for the purpose of carrying on the
plan which bad been devised, to surmount, if pos.
sable, this complicated mass of unsettled and un-
aueited accounts : First, it was intended to separate
the two Comptrolic sof army accounts ; and as to
the ten Commissioners, they were to be employed
as follows : four of those Commissioners were to
superintend the current business; three were to be
employed in prosecuting all these account+, which
are already in a state of investigation ; and the
other three for bringing up the arrears. But as this
increase of establishment would be very consider-
able, in order to prevent it from becoming a lasting
burden on the public, it was proposed that the
Lords of the Treasury should not have the power
of filling up any vacancy that may happen by the
death of any of the parties, sill the number comes to
five, and then they shall not do it of their own* will
1 and option, but Parliament shall be applied to for
the purpose, and shall have the diredion of fill-
ing up the Same. in such manner as they may
think proper. The great and effectual provision
in the Bill with regard to the current accounts,
will be a compulsion on all public accountants
to send in their accounts within three months
after the 31st of December, in every year ; and
all his accounts of receipts and expenditure of the
preceding year ;and an examination and comparison
of those to take place, in order to see how far they
agree with the vouchers. And in those offices
where the period of making up the annual accounts
is different from the olst December, then all such
public accountants shall send Su their accounts
within three months of that period, be it what it
may. Another part of the plan, though a subor-
dinate one, would be to have all public accounts at-
tested before Commissioners of the Exchequer, re-
siding in the country, which would give a facility
to :he public accountants, and at tau same time
op, rate as a salutary check on those who might be
tempted to mak.: out their accounts in a slovenly
Or Ileglrit•Rt manner. Another pat iOf the plan, he
said, was that the Commissioners of -Audit should
have the power of charging all public officers, who
shall autherise any expenditure of the public mo-
ney of their own accord, with the full amount of
such expet.ditute so ordered by them. The parti-
erriar mason for this, his L •rdship sated to be, [bat
a General Officer, during the last war, in the Walt
Indic., had ir..urred ae. :rpenditure of the public

Money to the amount of no less a sum than 200,0001.
tutiiel& by. his own order, and without any Other
authotity. If he hadhad atCommissaryGet.eral with
,tim, which, by aOcident ouly, he had not,_ hat
Comfrissdry would have 'been liable to that ituns,
and the public would in all likelihood have lost
I'; but, luckily, there being no Commissary, the
General Officer was made answerable for the
money. There would also be a clause in the Bill,
giving power to theCommissoners to call before them
persons having the use and charge of the public
stores; and, in addition to the powers of the Comp.
trollers of Army Accounts, of calling on all persons
concerned in the army expenditute. With regard
to the einisexaling of stores, the Accountants shall
be enabled to ascertain the value, and then to
charge the persons with the value so fixed. With re-
gard to the importance of gettiug rid ofthis enormous
mass of public accounts, he was sure it must so ike
the House as a desirable objea. As to the pa-
tronage that would be consequent on it, he could .
only say, that the Noble Personage, who was at the
head of His Majesty's Treasury, had, as well as
himself, endeavoured to avoid it asmuch as possible,
and the utmost Wintry and care had been taken by
both of them to restrain and I it as far as in
them lay. The Inspeftors were to he taken Irons
the Comptrollers on half-pay, and every principle of
oconamy that could be employed,had been attended I
ro with the utmost care. With regard to the na-
ture of this vast mass of accounts, he had been told,
that many of them were not suisjeft to any risk a
all : many of them, it was true, might be su ; but
unquestionably there were others that were attended
with very great risk. In adverting to the case of
the Bank Accounts, he had mentioned the sum of
700,0091. having been issued to one individual in
the West Incites; and he was told by a Right lion.
Gentleman opposite (Mr. Rase), that he was igno-
rant on the subjea, and that Mr. Valentine Jones's
account had as much to do with the Bank Ac-
counts, as with the Hackney Coach Office. lie had
invired into that affair, and he found that
I ,090.0001. had been discharged by the Bask,
which they &dueled out of the Loan for the next
year ; but when they sent in their account, the Au-
ditors refused to audit it : but in the year 1798, an
ex pest faßoiclause was inserted in the Loan Aft, au-
thorizing the Bank to retain that sum ; and in the
same year an order went from the Treasury to make
Mr. Valentine Jones luspeOor of the Bank, which
was done accordingly : and sheaved, clearly, that
hi; account had something more to do with the
Bank, than it had, as the Right Hon. Gentle-
man alleged, with the Hackney Coach Office.—
With respca to the Paymaster, be was sorry to say,
he was not at present ready. From such a mass of
public accounts remaining unsettled, much may. be
recovered ; and Ire thought it was a subjea, the due
investigation of which could not fail to be high!
s 4
11
beneficial to the public. With respea to the Ili ,
Hon. Gentleman's suggestions as to the War 64
fine, nobody could he more desirous than he was to!
bring those accounts under investigation; hut he
was afraid it would not be possible during the pre-
sent session. In the course of the text session,
however, it would certainly be proceeded on. The
Noble Lord said, this plan would be a saving to the
public of 10001. a year ; the old establishment being
28,0001. and the present only 27,0001.; he cna-
eluded by moving for leave to bring in a Bill for
consolidating the two Boards of Commissioners for
auditing the public accounts, and for the better and
more effeaually auditing the public accounts in
future.
Mr. ROSE said, he did not rise for the purpose
I of opposing the bringing in of the Bill; but to ob-
serve upon what he considered to be the state of
the outstanding accounts. Oa of the whole sum
of 220,000,0001. placed to the account of the Pay-
master General, there were no monies of which any
thing was ever likely to accrue to the public, a. the
°Seers stood in the situation of bankers to the pub-
lic, and issued the money to their deputies, who
paid the money into the bank. He then went into
a long detail of official documents and calculations
of the sums charged to the Ordnance, the Bank, the
Navy, and the Exchequer, and observed, that the
concerns of the Bank in these affairs were merely
matter of form, and that it could not now
be made accountable for any of the money
Out of the 220 millions placed to the first account,
and 29 millions to the second, there were no more
than '23 millions now under examination ; and of the
whole 364 millions, the amount of the joint ac-
counts, there were only 8,000,0001. to be accounted
for by the Auditor of the public accounts ; for all
the sums placed to the Bank, the Ordnance, the Ree
ceiver-Genaal, and the Exchequer, may be pat
completely out of the question. He had some
doubt, he said, as to the expediency of appointing an
addition of font new Con:missionerr, as he believed
the business would be better done by additional In-
vetoes, for the Commissioners heretofore only sat
three, or at most, four days in the week, and oave
as a reason for it, that the time They took was amply
sufficient to audit the accounts of the Inspeftnrs.
alany of the regulations from which the Nettle
Lord promised to gain su much, were by no means
new, as they subsisted in the former Bill, which
provided that the sub-accountants should always
give in their accounts, if possible, within three
months after the last day of December, in the same
manner As was now proposed. Of all the breaches
alluded to by the Noble Lord, he considered the
War-Office to he by miteh the most important ; for
unless that Odice should be obliged to pass their a--
counts at the Exchequer, no good could come of
any new law upon the subject- In that depart-
ment, there was no less a sum than twelve millions
of money, which were itudi:ed only by the Secretary
at War ; and without meetiii.g to convey an in•
sinuation against any individual, he may be allowed
to oitiefl to the principle of the same Officer issuing
the money, and afterwards auditing the accounts
that were given in of it, which, In his opinion,
ought always to be examined by the auditors. The
Noote Lord said. that he was riot prepared with re-
gulations for that Office, ten it was certainly an
objea well worthy of atteation. After following
the Noble Chancellor of the Exchequer through the
several items be referred to, hr said he must implore
the patient attenti,,n of the House, while he took
this opportuuity or tem:irking upon what, Jell on a
termer debate, in consents...oe of some observa-
tions from Itim on the num+, iety of creating new

pressed an expeaatiort, that from the aversion
with which he spoke of such appointments,
he would the next day. give in his resignation
of the sinecure he held When any remarks or
insineratioes of that kind were made out of
doors, his di-position always led him to disregard
them; hut he could not be indifferent to them when
uttered from persons of anthority in that House,—
He then explained, that when he was first solicited
to accept the office of Secretary to the Treasury,
he did it with much reluctance ; but, haviag done
so, he thought proper to resign a more secure and
permanent situation he before held in the Tait
Office. On his first introdeetion to the Treasury,
the emoluments of his office were 3,05)01. a-year ;
but after the e-ommencement, they increased to
5.4001. Upcn that occasion it would appear, from
the minutes of the Treasury made at the time, that
in November, 1793, it was, on his own proposal,
eesleced to the original sum of 3,0001. annually,
At that period he had the sinecure Office he now
held (Clerk of the House of Lords) in reversion ter
two lives," one of which was as good as, his own,
loin that of a person of equal Age with himself.
Whets he retired from Office, and returned to it
again, after a Certain interval, he found the reit-e.
raised to 40061. per annum, which could teo. esti

the additional sum of ode thousand rounds
a year made to the salary, sad only retained it

should have remained as shied a menther or that
House as he ever was before, if he had not foaled

confessed, that after Log poblic service, when this
place was vacant, he applied for it; but surely it would

Ctieettte AGAINST MARQUIS WI-LESLEY.
Mr. PAUL moved the Order of the Day for
the farther consideration of the Oude charge ;
which being agreed to, Mr. Hawthorn in the Chair,
Colonel Payne late Aid-de-Camp to General
Sir James Craig), was called in. and examined by
Mr. Paul. In answer to the first question, he stated
that he was never present at any of the consults
tions held with General Craig, and that he was out
sufficiently master of the sullied to say whether the
British power, before the demeede aside on the
Nabob, were strong enough to defend his territories
against any external hostility. or internal commotion.
Mr. Henry Strachey was the next wioness
called. His testimony went to prove that the
country was in a state of insursedion, and that the
mild measures which he advised, had the effect of
noose-leg peace. After his examination had bees
finished, Mr. Paul declared, that it was not his is-
tention to cell any other witnesses.
Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY wished to knot
whether the Hon. Gentleman intended to cell Cap:.

Frcm the expedition used by Mr. Wi Left A HA tu, we

We, with great reluaance, slightly alluded. yes-
terday, to a matter of great delicacy and importance
to a certain Illustrious Female, who, though not
a native of this country, is one of the first objeUs
of itg care. As the innocence of the party, we .
understand, has been established, it would have
been well if it had never been publicly de-
Oared ,bat suspicions had ever been entertained.
Ss of the female servants of the distinguished per-

much confidence, appear to have been all pre-
Mature. It was reported at Vienna, on the 2.1
Instant, that two thonsand Austrians hal en-
tered the place, and delivered it to the French.
but a subsequent letter of the sth of June, horn
Vienna, inserted in the Menhtur of the 19th,
merely states, that the AtmCan Ceneral Bellegarde,
and M. Lespine4, the Comm inder of the Marine,
had sailed from Trieste to
*receive the place from
the it ussieng, preparatory to its surrender to the
French the of paper of the same date states,
that General Lanriston, with 6,000 meg, has taken
possession of Ragusa, for the purpose of proteeling
It against the Montenegrins. This, however, is a
mere pretence Ragusa is a tolerable sea-port,
with some trade to the Levant, and of course an
°lie& likely to excite the cupidity of Napoleon.

to allow time for that good Citizens of the Hague to
make necessary preparations to receiv., him with all

Mr. DALLAS teamed his :tuition, as mentioned
in our Paper of yesterday, for a rule to thew cause
why swoon papers and documents should not be
mussed to the proceedings in' this case, already be-
fore she Court. Having adverted to the evidence
• on the trial, respelling the laws of Old Spain, as
they related to the Government of the Island of
Trinidad, so far as they authurised torture to be in-
Blest on mamas suspeded of ocinainality. the
Learned-Counsel stated, that when an account of
the trial of this cause had reached the island of
Trinidad, the Governor held a Council of all the law
oaken, at which resolutions upon the subject of the
law which governed the island, were entered into.
&arches were made in all the records of the island,

that he had been appointed to his present situation

was first taken by the English ; he perfectly under-
stood the Spanish language, and had literally trans-
lated the Saida of Charles H. of Spain, which
was a book containing the laws of that coun-

He also adverted to the case of a negro slave, who
hod been stopwied of assassinating his master, when
is was airyedged to ieflkt the torture, but the negro
made his escape, and could sot afterwards be appre-
kilaiiiii. This was cited to shew that there was more

penitence, and on the other hand, that it would he of the most
mischievous cons quence to concur in a Reitalittion, which,
upon the grounds stated for adopting it, has a tendency to
prove that the mitiduct of the Judge:, in the execution of their

4th-b-Recause, we think it not only dangeous to the arlosi-

in
a most oppressive manner; tiiat, on several 0.:01414014, in the

bring His Majesty's Government into hatred and comempt.

to
stay the proceedings in that stage of the business in which this
Resolution has been adopted.
