nit not at present ; the Motion went no further
onto continue it to the term originally mentioned,
old fixed by the liouse ; for these reasons he should
sate against the Amendment.
Mr. I. H. BROWNE said, that he gave great
coedit to the framers of the Bill when it was first in-
caducei into the House, and the reports of the
Commissioners acting under it had confirmed him
the good opinion he had then formed of it.
n'i•lo every deference to the opinion of the Hon.
itaonet who had so worthily aCted under it, and
eery confidence in the promise of' the Right Hnn.
niontleman as to its
consu continuance, he thought the
re so important and necessary, that he could
wt but vote for the present Motion.
lib. TIERNY sid, it seemed to be a greed on
all hands, that E
ta he Commi 'sinners have well dis-
charged their duty. lie thsrefore gave the Hon.
gaveo redit for bringing forwaid the motion ; and
fie the same to the Right Hon. Gentleman for
i;eclaration ; but for what reason should std be
i:efeTre I lie saw none more strong than at
n deliv ,red by the lion. Baronet (Sir C.
who hal aged so distinguished and honoura-
ve a p.in under it, " that it was the intention of
fi amers of the Bill, not to carry on the
Commission in time of war." In answer to which,
be begged to observe, that the greatest part of its
operation had t:tken place in time of war. He verily
believed, he said, that Earl St. Vincent would not
h ive instituted the Commission in time of war; but he
sheught there svoFtLi he infinitely pore inconvenience
arise from noW postponing the earranisSion t!:an
could possibly be the coasequenee of proceeding with
it. He thought also, tit it when the House considered
the fiery honourable and praiseworthy manner in
ox!i:ell the commissioners had ex, coted the high and
important trust reposed in them, .they would look
on it as a necessary compliment to them to renew
tie commission. tie thought also it ought to be
done as soon as possible, for no one knew what
changes might take place before the close of the
session (a lough). The Right Honourable Gen-
tlzman, he said, might not feel it, but he did.
He thought there was no point more deserving of
consideration than that of national economy ; none
weighed mote strongly with him ; and when he re-
fliCted on the astonishing mass of abuses and cor-
rupt praelices which bad been found to pervade al-
most every public, department ; and after the decla-
ration made by the Hon. Admiral as to the immense
saving that would probably be made by the con-
tinuance of the meritorious and indefatigable ser-
vices of the Commissioners, he could not hesitate to
vote for the-Motion.
The CHANCELLOR of the F.XCI lEQUER,
in exp!anation, sa'd, that lion. Gentlemen had in
the course of the detvee inferred, that he had ex-
pressed his approbation of the reports.. He beg.ted-
ta be understood, that he had given no opinion
whatever as to the reports.--He had only said, that
one orty o of them contained matter Of the highest
