THE BUDGET.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER having at this me.
ment entered the House,

Mr.Tteltrotv rose and observed, that he understood of the
unfunded amount of 52.807,0001., 26.6001. and odd
unprovidi d fur in 1816. Of' the latter amount, 16,00 1.0001.
was said tube provided for, viz.-11,752,0031. out of the Aids
of last Session, and 3,942,0001. was chat ged to the Supplies
of the Treasury. Now he wanted to hear sometlunit more
precise, as to the way in which the 11,000,0001. sairu was pro-
vided for, ..rd As to the 3,000,0001. and odd, this was for the
fit.t ii.ite he heard that charging an amount to ii., freasury
Supplies was said to he providing fur it in the sense in which
a proper provision for those 'inns was understood.
The CHANCELLOR of the Exempt:an replied, that as to
the first Hun of 11,762,0001. It was provided fur by Bills is.
'net, for the Aids of 1816, which would of course be provided
for ont of the Ways and Means of this year. This was miy
thinly bat providing for these Exchequer Bills in a technical
and Parliamentary sense ; not by an actual appropriation of
money for their total liquidation—the remaining 3,942,0001.
was, by the arrangement of last year, chargeable in the Ways
and Means of the present year.
Mr. TIERNEv—" Then I AM now to understand that what
is meant by Exchequer Bills ' pros bird for,' is, that they are
provided for by other F.xchequer Bills? I find that the former
are merely disposed of by a tthalt issue of the latter. The
end of it then is that yon cancel the old ones by issuing new.
Tb House and country must now understand, that with the
exception of the Land and Malt Taxes, they have 52,897,0001.
thus totally unprovideJ for, except by this sort of re-issat of
Exchequer Bills."

HABEAS CORPUS SUSPENSION RILL.
Lord CASTLRRIAGR moved tke order of the day for the
second reading of the Bill fog the further Suspension of the
Habeas Corpus Act.
Mr. F. DOVOLAS rose to oppose the measure which was, be
contended, nothing lees than general suspension of thi li-
berties of the people at large to repress the tumults of a few.
Before he could consent to this measure, the danger must be
made out immediate and inevitable, and it cleat be clearly
,hewn that no other measure would apply to the case.
Mr. LocattAnT replied to the last speaker, and contended
that the measure was necessary.
Mr. CUNWIN denied that any necessity existed fir this
measure. There was a wide difference between the cireunt-
sta*es of the former and last Report, and the result of the
late trials justified the opinion he had ail along entertained en
this subject.
The I.ostp Mavens detailed the circumstances of the Spa.
fields meetings on the lab of November, and the td of De-
cember, and stated, that the rioters had been effectually and
easily dispersed by himself and a brother Alderman, with a
few City Officers, tmas•isted by the military power. It was
indeed a matter ofsurprise to hint, that a large body of rioter,
amounting to 2 or $OO persons, with arms, had been suffered
to enter the city without any opposition from the military.—
He had since that received many letters of a very violent na-
ture, some even threatening his life, and containing nothing, as
far as he cou Id judge of a rebellions character. Of these papers .
whatever were of importance, bad been communicated to the
Government, bet there was one to which he thought proper
to call more immediately the attention of the House. It was •
placard, which, previous to the Apafields meeting, on the 24
of December, bad been posted up through the city, entitled,
" Truth/or • peon Go st, soy boys l' Thus placard bad been
circulated by a printer, who was desirous of slowing his seal
for the G tent; bat it was assets a *stare, that had it
come front any person of different feelings, it would have been
deemed a fit subject of prosecution by his Majesty's Law Of-
ficers.—After having dispersed the deters with such ease ea
the 2d December, he was induced by some papers found in
the pocket of the young man, who in Mr. Beck witk's shop
had shot Mr. Platt, and who, sobeetpient circumstances had
proved to be young Watson, to proceed to rreston's home.
