Mr. V. FerzoF.aAr.n moved that the several Re.
ports from the Committees on Public Income and
Expenditure of Ireland, and the several Accounts
and Papers presented zo the Ilouse in 1813,1814,
and 1815, reiatinglo the Public Income and Ex-
penditure of Ireland, be referred to-a Select Com-
mittee, and that they be directed to inquire and
report to the House what has heels,, during the
last 24 years, ending the sth day of January,
1815, the increase and redemption of the public
funded debt of Ireland, and what was the stale
and' amount thereof on the said day ; what has
been the progress of the permanent revenue of

the expected future annual produce of the taxes
now existing in that country ; what has been the
total expenditure of Ireland in each year of the
same period, distinguishing the amount expended
on account of the joint expenditure of (ire-At Bri-•
lain and behold, or which •may 'appear' to be still.
due on that account, and what was tile amount
of the unfunded debt and demands outstanding
and unprovided for in Ireland, on the sth of J.-
ntlitry, '1615. And liketa'ise to• tithe .into their
consideration the accounts relating to .the trade
and navigation of Ireland during rite same period,

Sir J. NEwpote:r considered that the object of
this motion was to defeat thewhole of his labours.
oo that subject. Many doctonetilS were Still vt ant-
ing.to enahlig the'llonse to judge of the state of
the Irish Finances ; but if this. Motion was to be
carried, he should consider himself discharged from
all further exertion's. The House, however,
-migh:, test assured, that. unless they cool:11,611y
examine into the evils, and trace them to their
sotiree, it was iu vain' to hope that proper reme-
dies COhld be applied.
Mr. WILLIA'3,I F'ITZGERALD said, that the Right
Hon. Baronet should not have accused him 'of in-
tending to defeat his object before he had heard
the whole of the motions read. Alany of t;:e per-
sonS' included in the Committee might be those
whom the Right lion. Baronet himself would
have named. •He (Mr. F.) did not wish 'to cloak
the state of the finances of Ireland, nor to shriiik
from investigation. If any persons could be more
anxious than others for inquiry, it nitiq be those
.who were not responsible when the evils com-
plained of had existed. As to the repot is before
the House, lie begged to inform the Right lion.
Bart. that, in the most impurtant branch of the
revenue, the Lord Lieutenant had recommended
the Prince Regent to place at the head of the
board the Gentleman Who had framed them.

SAVENAY, MARCH-26.—,M. de Coislin had been
authorised,to raise a battalion in this distriet. A
curian number of Nobles received - powers from
him to form volunteer corps. They -reckoned
upon from 2to 3,00t1 men. On the 2,lth the Sub-
Prefect was required to give up .a depot of nuts-

ten the sonic night, M. de Cnislitt received news
from Paris : in a moment he threw tip his com-
mission, and shewed no other wish but to return
to his estate in Anjou, and there live in tranqUil-
lity. This- resolution immediately disorganised
all the assemblages. All the volunteers have re-
turned to their ponies, declaring loudly that they
were happy in relinquishing projects -which au-
gured no success.

SINGULAR PHENOMENON.-WhilSt the Lady
Lottis4 packet, Captain GIBBON, which arrived at
Falmouth cm Sunday last from the Brazils, was
on her voyage home, her decks, spars, sides, &c.
were suddenly and completely covered (in some
places to the thickness of half au ineb) with a
yellow dust. An explanation
,of this extraordi-
nary circumstance has been attempted, by sup-
posing it to be the effect of a violent eruption of
a volcano on the coast of Africa, although the
packet was. at least one thousand miles distant
from all land when the event occurred.
Yesterday an inquisition was taken by Mr.
HODGSON,' Coroner for Middlesex, at the King's
Head, in PAddington, on the body tit a man
(name unknown) who was found drowned in the
-Canal, on Saturday. He was dressed in a blue
coat, yellow buttons, buff waistcoat, and dark
velveteen breeches : he bad a hill- fur carpenter's
work done, in Short's Garden in his pocket, but
without a name.--Verdict, fuund drowned.
Yesterday a Gentleman, whose name we under-
stilnd is FRENCH, and a resident -at Edgware, was
riding a saddle horse- on the Tyburn road, which
by sonic means had started, and tua,:e a sudden
spring, by wOielt he was thrown out of the saddle,
and, melancholy to relate, killed on the spot.—"
The holly was removed to the IVindcttill pnblic-
house, where it remains for the Coroner's Inquest,
which will be held this day,.
