ARMY ESTIMATES.

On the motion of the SECKRTARY at WAR, the
House went into a Committee of S.upply, to which
the Army Estimates lot the current, year were -re-
terred.

The SeciteTAst at Was observed, that notwith-
standing the Order of the House was giVen on Fri.-
day se'nnight, the Army Estimates had not been
printed till this afternoon. As soon as he was • ac-
qnainted with the eircurustanee, he pressed the
Printer as much as possible to expedite the business ; -
.but owing to the greatanass, of Papers relating to the
Itiquiry into the c.senduat of the Commander-an
Chief; it was not in his powetio procure the Esti- .
:mates sooner. However late they were'readyie he
trusted the House would have no objeaidit to go in-;
to them to-day,as it would be a matter of great'con-
veniencl for the 'levier Army, the Militia, and.l4),-
reigaCorps. Indeed, he could anticipate no. ob.e
jettioni as the Estimates were Arearly the saute as,,
those a !eat year, with the exception of 200,0001.
arising from the actual increase of the establishment,
tvhich would 'be ascertained by comparing the Esti-
mates now (Piked with the last year's accounts. The
establishment had stood very high,last year,
,but, by
this comparison, it would be seen, that it had now
reached much nearer the. complete number of ef-
featives. The Militia was nearly in the , same.
state, and the Foreign CorPs had rather increased.
Another cause of the increase on the Estimate,
was, Peen the additional expense: in .some things,
which had before been voted among ,the extraor-
dinaries Vf the Army, - but . which were now in-
troduced into the regular accounts. It had been
recotnalended by tha, Committee Of Alilitary In-
quiry, to .put every possible ennual account
into the Eatitnate ; and agreeing-in 'the expedis
ency of this mode, he Lad adopted their recoils-
mendation. The , Estimate for The , present year
was also fiig'sher, on account of, the hen year s ex-
petices exceeding the estimated that year. Another
nomiaal addition also, appeared on ,the Pee of the
estimate,,nainely,.that,ol: the allowance of, a
.second
LeuteriehtaColoitel in regiments of
v a _ry, who,
though they had formerly been betee, yet never
appeared in these calculations. With regard to the
number of etlc&ives, which had been brought up so
near the establishment, he could:not
.new given cer-
taiti. account, owing to the return of men lost it> the
Spanish campaign nut having,,been,,deduded. As
for the nonsetiedives :which appeared on the eati,
mate, that was very Pecessai v, as the recruiting sers
vice Was solely provided for oat of that thud.. „Be-
fore be moved the several ,estimates, he beggestleaye

SEcarrAitY at Wan said, that he had only
:waited till the whole llepoits 01 that Counuittec
were brought „forward, and would immediately pro-
ceed on this subject.
• Mr. s'CA-v,11,11.r 'wished to ask the Right Ho-
.reourable (entletuau a questiop. He would be glad
to oe infOrmed whit was the cause of tle' Mcrease

Many Volunteers had greie into the Local Militia,,
t heexpehce for that species of toree wag the same as
bat ycar.
Ttie SECRWrAitY at Wan said, as there .was
vote for either of theae asked ibis day, it might per-
haps be as well not to enter upoe the subject till it
came regularly before them', when 'thew would be
sufficient opportunity for explanation. ,
Mr. Lim; observed, that although these matters
were absolutely before afiem, he wouldl .1
to give the Hon. Gentlemau a Olga answer to iris
question relative to the public departtoeet which was
this year estimated at pearly 30,9901. more than it
W4S List. This was not en increase of expellee but
of estimate. Agreeing with the Committee of Mi-
litary Inquiry, and his Right Hon. Friebd the Secre-
tary at W. that every expensee which could hu
brought within the Annual Estirtiales ought to ap-
pear there, be had added to this .the.Comingetteiea
of Deputiea abroad, atuountlug 14-_,uool.i Ex-

chequer Fees-,8011.; Deputies to the tititiee
Sir. J. Moore, that under General Spencer, and the
Deputies at Madeira and at Lisbon, making in all
the amount of increase now charged.
In answer to a question from Sir T. TURTON, the
SECRED4RY at Wait said, 'that the Estirriates wete
made up according to returns received at a prior pe..
riod, and consequently they did, not inchide the mett
to be raised by a measure (the Military VolUtiteer4.
ing) which had not yet received the sanction of )li3
Majesty. For this purpose a supplementary eatutlatr
might in future be necessary. The estimates no*
produced were. Idr 5000 or 6000 men more th:m
those of last year, but it did not 'hence follciw that
the expellee would ultimately be. More. The mini.
ber of etreetives was at present greater than last ,
exclusive of our losses in Spain.
The Right 'Hon. Secretary then moved, that
be granted to his Majesty, for the service of Great
tar the year, front Dec. 25, 1808, to

Mr. WITITBRRAD moved that there be laid be
fore the House; Copies of the• Letter hum Mr. Se-
amity Canning to Lqt-. Pinckney, accompanying hil
official .note of 23d Sept. Dm, and all subsequent
correspondence.
Mr. PONSONBY, alluding to a passage in his Ma-
jesty's Speech, on opening the preaent Session of
Parliament, wished the Right Hon. Secretary /or.
Foreign'Affairs,to inform him, whether'the Treaty •
with the existing Government of Spain, there men-
ttoned as being in train, had been Concluded. If so,
he would Wish to know when it would be proper or
convenient to lay it before the House.
Mr. Secretary Corint.to replied, that
.the ratifi-
cation of the Treaty was not•yet received, till whcit,
it co .not be laid before Parliament:
SiMTilturoN expressed a desire that LOrd Henry
Petty would consent to postpone his Motion,
.tive to the Convention of Cintra, which stood for
io-morrow, as there. were such a mass of, papers to
exathine, llefore Gentlemen could make, up their:
minds on the subject.
Lord H. NTT's:
.said, that however he could have
wished to comply with- any request 'of the Hon.
Baronet, vet be had postponed his Motion so often,
to the inconvenience of Gentletnen who remained
in town on. purpose to express their opinions upon it,,

Sir T, TURTON mould put a qnestion to the
Right Hon, Abe Chancellor of the Exchequer wllich •
might lead to the examination of other witne,tsel,,,
He wished to be informed on a subject which. had"
made great impression on the public mind, namely, r
the -expellee of, the .establishment
,in Gloucester.,.;
place, and how the monies had been paid for the
Commander in .Chief ? It would, he conceived,
,be
highly, ,satisladory, that the statement made by the
Hou..Gentleman on a former night, .should be
put as tnuih in proof as it was possible from the nat..
•
ture of the transglions. .„

, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in an...
remarked, that he had last night, when he
r~atlC, his statement, informed the Committee that.
the several:trAdestuen whose names he mentioned,
,were in waiting_ to prove the,payment of the sums ho
specified as having been paid.to them. As ,for the
moßey on the Bankers' books, he could have wished'
:that to,be,referre4 to a Sele4 Committee, as be con;
ceive4 it improper that the whole monied' transac.,.
tious of the loyal buke should, be laid before the
House and the Public. This matter, however, ad.,
mined of no further proof than be had before no.
ticed.--that the money for Mrs—Clarke was drawn
by a partietalar• servant, who brought it from the
Batiker's to his. B.oyal Highness, who, having in,,
cfused something in a packet, purporting to be
money, remitted it by the same servant to Mrs,
.Clarke. . • • •

SirT. TURTON thought a Seled -Committee %iould
not be satisfadory to the Public.
