comfort-TEE (-)v r,rIPP '
The notise-re-solVed itself into a' Committee of
SUpply, to which some accounts of Ekchequer Bills
were referred, -Mr. Wharton in the Chair.
:Mr. WARD then moved that 130,000 Seamen.
shonld...be. voted .for the service of the' year :1809,
including 31,400 Royal Marines, which were voted
accordingly.
Mr. WARD then stated, that the estimates for this
number of Seamen and Marines were precise)y the
same in amount with the estimates of last year,
though it had betcn thought desirable to make some
alterations in the comparative amount of 'some of
the.branebes. Thetallowance tor wear and tear was
last year tikela at 31. per map,' Whilst :the provision
vituals *as estimated at 11. 195. only per man
ile'r month. The hitter eStiinareliad bead tbund to
fall greatly 'short of the -actual ekpenditure, hilst
the wear and tear fell considerably heloW.theaapal:
estimate. 'the Committee would therefore be aware
of the propriety of endeavouring to reduce-110th to
.arvatuonitt that, should be .nearest the truth, and this
he proposed to accomplish bytaking,a. guinea .troth;
the allowance for wear and tear, and adding it to the
allowance for vitituals.

The follpwing hums were then moved by Mr.
Ward, and voted by the Committee:— •

For wag'es for 130,000 seamen.and marines for •
thirteen month; at... 11. 7s. per man per month • X 3,116,000-
For wear and ICU of ships for ditto during th
same period, at il. igs,,, per man per month ' 3,295-50.0.
For victuals for ditto daring the same period, at • •
21.1g5. per man per month • 4,985,500

Mr. WARD then observed, that the House would,
learn with satistaotion, that the 'number ol seamen
now serving in the navy, covered ,it
not exeeeti, the tiurnter which .ttuix,Committee had
just voted.

• On tn'e question, that a sum of- 55 t,5001, should
he voted for ordnance for the :number of II1L:a
oted:

Sir CErirLis Pot.g.could not suffer thiS subjea to
pass off,, withoLt ekpressiug A hope, that his Ma
jesty's Ministers, entertained. a disposit ion . tO regulate
!he course of proceeding at Doators',Corinnons. it
was hl3 ophiinn, that the Offiees.of Adtrocate',
attd,King.'l Viw:tor ou;ht tobe divided. He (lid not,
mein Io objet to. the vote of any sum for the. Navy,
`hut lie add, that be,shoulnlike to see those
who were to manage the expenditure of it ; such as;
the-Commissioners of the Navy •and of Vieth:tiling,:
selected from amongst naval men. The pr lice, as
Well 'xin the whole sys of Selcclibg otlicerS of the
a r tny for. such offices, he deemed altogether improper,)
as the appointment of persons not aeq*iinted Ninth
naval affairs, to Such situations, could not but' be Most
ischieN ons. In, the estimates then under conside-
rat* he lamented that :he did but ace any provi-
sion made for the prote6ien and support of' the Or-
phans of marine orlicers,.:and hoped. that before the
end of the Scssioh, some establishwent, correspond-
Anglo the eeittipaSSionatt: Ilind for the army, should
be instituted for thn navy.: This e,looked,,upon,
as the proper time lOr mentioning the subjet:t, and
if it should not be taken up by hiS Mijesty's
sters, 'in whose hands it most properly of ht to be.
left, he should feei h to be his duty to subwit the.
matter to the House in the course of the Session.
The stini was then voted alter on the
