said he could unt suspend the operations, but must

Colonel Ltazuvad, alarmed at the consequence,
concluded a coavention, the principal terms of

interesting speech, on Monday. in the House of
Commons. We may there see, with what facility,
frequency. awl impunity, the Treasury evn,le, or
disregard all the legislative enactment, male to
restrain profusion or peculation. \Who but must
feel some indignation, when he sees and finds, that
in times lilte these, the pension* granted to Foreign
Ministers have actually increased in twenty-tvo
years, since 1787, from about 9,0001. per ineum,
to nears2,oool. ; that is. nearly six times its for-
mer amount ! Boise* Bill a;mestrs to have
formed nu manner of bother or impedinseut to any
grant or abuse. Tiough by that Act, the pen-
sions, paid out of the Treasury Fee Fend, a ere
positively restricted to the auto of 9.3,0001. annually,
it appears that they hive been more than doubled;
amounting now to more than 36,0001. airir. But
the annual suns expended in sinecures at this mo-
men?, when we feel so severely the attacks of the
Assesf.nr and the Tox-gatherer, may well awaken
Seine attention hi the politic. Abuse 272,0001. per
annum is thus bestowed. though the return,, made
upon the subject do not embrace, or include the
colonies. It was not possible for the Ctisx,:ift.r.os
of the EICHCQUER to refuse going into an inquiry,
or taking into consicLration such it report, aithunt
exposing himself and his colleagues to notional re-
prehension. We cannot doubt, that when it comes
before the House, it will produce effects propor-
tioued to its importance.
