exported from England during the same years.

mittee on the Naiy Estimates, be wished to know what amount
of men was to be added to the Army.
Tht CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that he
could not see the necessity of stating on a motion for a Com-
mittee on the Navy Estimates, what was intended to be done in
another Committee on the Army Estimates. -
Mr. HUME repeated his question.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that he
had no objection to state what he understood was to he the
amount, lie only objected to the unreasonableness of the de-

which was to be defrayed by the Easttndia Company. •
The House then resolved itself into
A COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY.
Sir GEO. CLERK observed, that as the number of men to
be voted this year in the Navy Estimates was the same as for
the last year, it would not be necessary thr him to detain the
