to the situation or Conmeander in Chief.
The CHANCELLOR of the Excit Num requested the Noble

Lord MILTON'S Reply was wholly inaudible in the Gallery.

Mr. Secretary RYDKR moved the Order of the Day for the

Mr. Secretary RYDER observed, that to .obviate any anre-3
pension on dip subject, he was willing to move the insertion ( f
words stating, That the Irish Catholic Militiaman, when

military, and religious exemptions, as were enjoyed by him in
Iceland.—(lfear, hear ! hear !)
The several clauses of the Bill passed through the Committee
after a short discussion; and the House having been resumed
the Report was ordered to be received on Thursday.
INCREASE OF LORD LIEUTENANT'S SALARY.
On a motion for going into a Committee on the subject of
granting an increase of allowance to the Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland,
Sir J. Nr wpoiur wished to know if any notice had been• given
on the subject ? A something had been done last Session at a
very late period, and it was then understood that early this Ses-
sion certain documents were to be laid before the House to
prove the proposed increase of allowance necessary. This
he thought ought to be done, and it was proper that some
notice should be given to allow time for the due consideration
of the subject.
Mr. Pr:ter-NA t. said he had certa nip given notice of the
Motion on Saturday; but if the Honourable Baronet wished
it postponed till to-morrow, or any other day at but a short
distance of time, he had no objection to the postponement of
the subject. It was, however, to be remembered that the
motion was merely one to carry into effect the Resolution of
last Session.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT replied, That if it was only intended
to bring in a Bill in the regular way, on the subject, there
would be sufliaient opportunities fur him to exin es; his senti-
ments hereafter. He did not, under all the circumstances,
wish to cause any delay, but he was not aware that they had
the regular notice, Saturday not being a day on which no-
tices were commonly given.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER repeated, that he had
given notice on Saturday. .
The I louse then resolved itself into a Committee, in which
Mr. Perceval moved, 'That an addition of 'Ono/. per annum
should be made to the income of the Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland, to he paid out of the Consolidated Fund.
Sir J. NEWPJRT thought such an application to Parliament
was not necessary. If such an increase were necessary, it
might have been paid Out of the privy purse.
Mr. W. PoLF: stated the first principle of the Bill to be
such, that the surplus of the Civil List, which used to go
into the Privy Purse, was to be appropriated to the payment
of the increased allowance.
After some further observations from the last Speaker, Mr.
Foster, Mr Abercromby, the Chancellor of the Exclo quer,
and Mr. Tighe, the Resolution was 'agreed to, and the Report
of the Committee ordered to be received to morrow.
