The CHAwcat.Lon of the EXCHECWOR, after
few introductory observations, moved that a sum
Of 18,000000/. 'be granted for the service of the
year :1817.

Mr. CURVVEN wished, to .kna►i whether the
Right lion. Gentleman %vont(' object to produce
the accounts of the Unfunded Debt, in order th►►t
the House might know what parts.or it ►vere still
unprovided for.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was no•
derstood to say that he would look over the ac-
mints, and would have no objection to produce
them, if they were calculated Co satisfy the lion.
Gentleman.

Mr. SitAur feared the expectations whisiticm
Chancellor of the Exchequer liad expressed czn
former night of reviving prosperity thraittiti
country would be disappointed. Ha had Auipui
mented the, extinction of one of the most opprfs-
sive taxes ; but he (Mr. S.) trusted that the peg,
pie of time country would be on their guard to
prevent a new Parliament from being called toge-
ther. that would ever sanction the revival of that
impost.

Mr; P. Moons wished the Right lion. Gentle-
Matt opposite would come forward with a general
statetheitt of the Ways and Means, of the year,; as
otherwise the Was called upon to vote
taohey coitpletely pit the dirk.

The. CuAilcsitoa of the &CHErttlEll informed
no Hon. Member opposite (Mr. Cor)veu), this(
if he looked itt the printed papers which !kstl
ttl-
rca+ly heel) produced, wotdd hod accounts of
the parts of the Unfunded Debt which were pro-
vided or unprrivided for. As to the Hon, Gen-
tletnan who had spoken last., he would only say
that it would not be usnal,.at so early a period.Of
the Session, to give a general statement of the
Ways and MeKus of the year. And that, in fact,
it would be impossible to do it till Parliament
had voted the sums requisite' for the public
service.

thirg else to do, than to carry to The Treasury.

This liad been the'ci;se since 18Gfi; 2nd the Go-
vernment had been so profuse of the public looney
its to pay a .Conou t)iorti)f Lill-a-clown for every
hunched. if no information were given on these
'points, 'he should thinii. it hie ,Ricy., at sonic ltitiae
period, to propose a measure ni)oo the subject.
The CHANcgt..4ott of the gXCH HAUER could only
say generally, that having no qw.stion before'
Parliament to which the Bank was` involved, lie
could not enter into details on subjects and charges
which had ntlready Chien so Often relic:at:o and
discussed.
