EXCHEQUER BILLS BILL.

Mr. ALEXANDER ••. brought up the Report of
the One Million Exchequer Bills Bill, which was
read and agreed to. •
On the Question that the Bill should be en.
grossed,
Mr. HONES said, he never had refused any
supplies to Government, but he thought it was
an objet} of peculiar importance at the present
moment, when' he could not understand whether we
were in a state of War or Peace, and when. the ob-
jet} of the First Consul of France appeared to be
to put off signing the Treaty a 3 long as His Majes-
ty's Ministers would permit him. His Majesty's
Ministers took supplies by doublets and triplets ;
why did they not ask for enough at once ? He
trusted that they would loOk stritly to the appro-
priation of the Supplies granted by that House,
and use, the utmost economy in their application.—
He believed they were not of the same tempef with
the last Ministers, and he hoped they would consi-
der that one and twenty shillings made a guinea,
which the last Ministers seemed only to consider
as worth seven shillings. He had good infOrma-
tion, that the First Consul of France was goaded of
by several persons who had heretofore sought refuge
in this Country, to renew the War, for the purpose
of destroying our commerce. He hoped that exalt
Accounts would be laid before the House 'of the
Expenditure of all the money voted to His Ma-
jesty's Ministers, and that the Commissioners of
Accounts would have additional powers granted to
them, to examine and audit all the Public Accounts.

The Bill .was then ordered to be engrossed and
read a third time to-morrow.
