CHELSEA ALLOWANCE BILL.

, Mr. :Wl:sum/of moved the third reading of the
Chelsea AllowanCe Bill.

On the question being put,
Mr. HUSKISSON opposed the third reading.
He had already stated his objections to the measure,
and had since .re-considered them altogether., with
,the answers that had been given to them. The con--
sequence was, that he was confirmed in his objec-
tions, and thought the answers unsatisladory. He
begged, therefore, to restate his objedions, which
be did at considerable length, and contended, that
the measure was, a breach of the privilege of Parlia-
ment, as it pledged them to make good•allowances,
to be granted under regulations of which they had no
knoWledge ; that it was derogatory from the honour
of the Crown, if, as had not been denied, the Crown
was competent to make the allowances without this.
Ad; and that it would hare the etfe& of rendering
the Artily perennial, instead of an Annual. Army.
Gen. Taut:ETON moved the Standing Order*of the
House, to ascertain whether there was a sufficient
number of Members present to constitute a House.
Strangers were ordered to withdraw, when,.on the
House being, counted, it was -found, that there were
forty Members in attendance.. _
On our re-admission to the Gallery we found Mr.
Windham on his legs replying to Mr. ,linskisson..-:—.
He contended, that in voting for the'presiint Bill,
without any specific estimate, the House would 'do
nothing more than it was wont' o do with respe&,to,
the Extraordinaries of the Army, to Treaties with
Foreign Powers, to Commercial Treaties; and even
to future Treaties to be concluded. .* The Crown:
might raise men to any amount, but the House could
not interfere except by refusing to provide thO ex-
pence. But all argument was unnecessary on this
head, as an Amendment had been made in the Bill,
by which the House was not to be called on to ivake
good any allowance' till tire Estimate should be laid
before them; and the regulations under which. the'
allowances were to be made have received the sanc-
tion of Parliament. Thus the House would have
the 'opportunity..eVery year of deciding upon the.
allowances and regulations, so that the objedion,
that the Measure would render the Army perma.,
neat, Was wholly tinfounded. Equally so, was the
statement, that no man could be discharged after
the passing of these Ads ;*.for the engagement was
the same with respeOL. to His Majesty's power of
discharging under these and the former Ads, the
attestation being,*that the man engaged should serve '
His Majesty for a certain term, if His Majesty should
so long want his services.
. .
Sir JAMES PULTENEY and Lord CASTLEIMAGIT
put it to the RigliCHon. Gentleman, whether lie;
would press the third reading of the Bill' in so thin
an attendance: •

General TARLETON again moved, that the House,
by counted, when, some Members having with
drawn, it appeared that there were but thirty•-ve
present, and'the.House necessarily adjolAied;

SOLESI QUIS DICIRS FALSUM. A.UDEAT

LONDON,

THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1606.

WE received this morning french and Dutch
Papers, the former to the sth and the latter to the
Bth inst. The three Haniburgh Mails which were
due also arrived this tnorning. The intelligence
brought by the Mails we". have already, in' a
great degree, anticipated, and the news in the
French Papers is' not of a very interesting nature.
The Moniteur contains a curious account of an at-
tack made upon a Battery in Carnaret Bay. The
number of 'English who landed is stated to- be
sixty; they attacked eight 'French Soldiers in the
Guard-house, killed two and wounded two. But
the remaining four. sallied forth, charged the sixty
English with fixed bayonets, completely defeated
themi and drove them on board their Ships !
The demands made by the FTench. Government
Upon the Porte, for the surrender of all the Posses-
sions which formerly belonged t oyenice, has, asmight
naturally be expeqed, excited the indignation of the
Turkish Cabinet, . and has led to the conclusion
of a Trciaty of Allianee, between Russia and Turley.
With i:espea to the Eyacuation of Cataro, it still
retuaitis in some degree. of doubt; on the one side,
it isailirrned, that M. D'AUBRIL has, arrived at Vienna
from St. Petersburgh with intelligence that the
evacuation of caw° would speedily ta,ke place ; and
the same Letter states, that M. D'Außnii. would
soon go to Paris, for. the purpose of negotiating a
General Peace.; while other accounts state, that
the determination of the Court of St. Petersburgh
respeaing Cataro is not yet known, at Vienna, and
that apprehensieps are even entertained that •hos.,,
tilities may recomnietwe between AuStria and
France, - '
