perfectly ready to admit., that that punt of it which
,was apprepriated to the use, dignity, or comforts of
the Royal rurally, or to the reward of meritorious
officers, Or services, was not merely necessary,
hid requisite. But wiecti he considered that
the whole was raised by taxes, direct UT indirect,
open the public ; he was sure the House would go
along with him on the expediency of making all
possible retrenchments, al though none could be
immediately effected—and this they were more par-
tiettlarly called upon from the feeling of the public
mind, to shew the necessity they felt of inquiry, and
their willingness to save them from additional bur-
thens.Wliat were the wishes of the people T Reform
pructical Reform, which should be made as far as
was consistent with the interests of the country,
and which, Mr. Burke odd, would 'reconsidered, if
denied by the House, as tyranny. Il,.rdly a session
bad posed from I7tsfi to 1796, without Reports
upon that subject. The good 1.e11.41 of the Com-
edittee of 11796, upon whet retrenchments could he
aside consistently with public safety, pointed out
that the officesatici places iu the tiAereht Courts of
Justice winuuuted to lti,d79 ; but since that period
nothing had hero done to reduce them ; but some of
the offices hall been since grthted in reversion.
Pathan:mut did tint appear to have paid attention
to the stu'lject. Parliament bud bud enopportuui-
ty, they made a provision fell, retiring Judges
autl Chan ..!ellors, when they might be cousidered u
purchasers of these places : when from time to time
the salaries of the Judges had been increased, then
would have been the time to huve attended to the
suggestions of the Committee ; he however benefit
the labours of the present Commissioners would he
attended with more sucreess that, those of the,
7rmienittee to whist he had alluded. He would
mit pretend to say that what be had to peipose
earl what ought to be adopted. lint that what they
had suggested should be attended to. Sinecure.
'daces were thought to belong so mulch to the
('roan that they were considered by many as a
sort of palladium to the constitutinu; but wherever
recollected our exteoded establishments, the in-
creme of our army and navy, which was beyond bilk
precedent, whoever sees the mitred Oh of public ref-
furs, and the tittle probability of thew establish-
ments being reduced, could weir Ilduk the influ-
ence of the Crewel; was on the decline. Whoever
lied compared the inllueuce of the Crown in former
times with the present must be convinced tlbit
tlt-
stea of its having decreased, it had considerably
ieb-
creased,si, mem rev had increased h n every breach of the,, !
-state ; they were the source of the corrupt influ-
elect: which took away vigour from our arms and
energy from our couueils. He had stated the :moult
of sinecure places snider two heads, unoltjectiumehle
or necessary—the other questionable. 11.1tatever
resplects the provisions fur the Royal Family, or
provisions arising out of the Consolidated Fiends

those pensions amooteuted to %len ;at present they
amount to 61,860. The Hon. Gentleman tailed

to craifitie the amount of places stud peesious to
tto,onol, hut which we. subsequently iucreutesl to
itii,oool„ beyond which it was me no 'account to he
*Bowed...this made inquiry moist neeerery. He
next touched upon the pensions paid out of the
1i per cent. duties, to • restrict which might
he held by some to be materially trenehiug upon
the p•. rowdier of the Crown, but which he con-
tended would be obviated by au humble Address
to His Majesty. TIM lion. Gentlenian then
ad-
verted to Cie Treasury Fee Fund, to *leech the
Committee had particularly pointed the eittention
of the 111/111.e, because it extended it, illfleellee
over PerNolllllof whom the llouse had no knowledge.
' The ;louse had never been backward in remune-
rating meritorious officers ; but the manlier in
which the heads of public Boards were now pro-
vided for was highly reprehensible ; it rumbled Mi-
nisters to superwinsuare or grant pensions wherever
they thought proper, and then there were pensions
produced iii the orifilearg estimate. Another great
qmstioss a-at, the selling of old storm, by the sign
minuted—lee knew of no tirgnment to prove that
what the !triple purchase they hal nut a right to
sell, sod our of Iris resolutions would go to prevent
such sales mid pensirms being so made, and timited
the House would agree that they should eat Ire al-
lowed. The next point was pensioner guested un-
der the head of " allmvanee," which term was suit
to be limited in the Bill of Mr. Burke; but if this
head ow.• introduced merely to evade that Bill, he
WWI bare the House would not suffer it to exist.—

Mr. MARTIN propo,eit a series of thi:rsolutions,

ject of tlr•Third Fiousicial Report telative to plan-*,

The details of tbe ',side of Batisbon are an kings-
ly looked for by the public. It seems impossible
to donht, after perusing the different letters •amid
communications made front the field of battle, or
from its vicinity, that N•PoLsotr has added an-
other victory to the number which he has already
acquired in almost every country of Europe. But
was there any nom, unless, perhaps, some of the
Clerks in Mt. CANNIIPio'I, or in Lord CAbTLE-
kt'AGle* office, so absurd, or so little scare of the
tadliary advantages au.l superiority possessed by

instance ..efiire us, i:ecevsity mid desvair; in oilier
words, self-preservation, has forced tho Cabinet of
Vienna to have recourse to the uu.a hazardous, ni
well as impro!ntble expedient, I.or obtaining a
cluinee of extrlcao..o. Austria stands nearly in the
predicament of Carthage, at 1.,e rommeoceinent
of the third and last Punic %Var. Already beaten,
i;espoi.ed, diminished HI her territory, and eon-
ritious of the sulierior strength, resiiiirer•, and tac-
tics of her enemy, she nevertheless prefers evi' de-
struction to voluntary stihinission. For no Mats
doubts, that NAPOLEON means to 1/face some of
his race, if not a BONAPARTF., at bast a tle•u-
HARI4,II, or a :11tiaaT, or a Botttaihsr, on the
Austrian throne, as he has done wherever else his
victorious arius and arts have subverted or en-
. slaved the alitient monarchies of Enrope. Tlwre
can be no man so ssiiatime or so lot:sal:till in his
judgutent, as not to extiect that such armies,
and such commanders, as BONAPARTE conducts
into Slid field, must, in, the first histance. over-
turn troops led on liy Austrian Generals.—
It is probable that defeat after defeat will be expe-
rienced by the latter. Vienna, according to all ap-
pearances, utuy again he entered iby the Corsican ;
and he may insolently dictate, as he did three years
sod a half-ago, his letters, or hit Bulletins, from
the apartments of MARIA Timms, at Sel ))))) -
bran, or from the Imperial Palace at Luxembourg.
Th'se events are to be exp.xted : but, even
though they should actually take place, the Aus-
trian Monarchy is not overturned, if the Sovereign
and the People continue to resist the Invader. Im-
mense, and almost incalculallc are the means pos-
sessed by FItANTIS, of protractioc, and of avertiog
his own fall; if he 16 animated by the dete..milia-
tion to oppose his ...twiny. They emceed belief ;
but he must not again consent to au interview with
NAPOLEON in a windmill, nor on a raft in the Da-
nube. It is by retiring into his Illungariaii,
Transylvanian, and Sclavoiiiiiii provinces, as the
Czar PRTER, in 17nO, a hundred years alga,
did into his interior domicions, when pur-
sued by CHARLES XllOl, that the E.ir7.eror
of stomata can alone hope, or expect, to A erini-
alit* die war with honour. BONAPAZT- must 001,11
tile war in a few week.. or it will swallow him up ;
he titillation) every nerve to force Austr:i, by rapid
victories over ber, to sign • ileaces He cannot stand
protracted hostilities, while Nein for half his

is asvertheless most critical.
