COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY.

The House, baving.resolved itself into's Commit-
tee of Supply,
IVlr. WHARTON', after some observations, moved,
that a sum not exceedirtg 548,4811. be grated for
Ott expetice of Barrack's. T.ie excess above the
vote of last year, he observed, was occasioned by the

. ,
fitting up the building at Winchester, called the
King's Efou.ie, as-barracks. • '
TvIr.C.AL-CRATT stated,-That there were out-stand-
ing-debt's against the Barrack Board for upwards of
five yet4s. It appeared on the face of the accounts,
that out of the-vote-of last year there 248,0001. not.
expended., He wished to know what became of
money.
Mr. WHARTObt (across the table)—" It has been
carried to .the account of the Army Extraordi-
naries."

Mr. CALCRAFT said, that since the year 1794, no
ic:ts than thirteen millions had been voted tor Bar-
rack Expences. Out of these eleven millions had
been .pxpended confoimably to the Resolutions of
the House. Was' he to understand that the surplus
ha,' been applied to the payment of:the Arm'y Ex-
traordinai ies ? • _ _

Mr. PARNELL .wished to ,be informed what part
of the enormous defalcation, .106,0001. due 'froth
General :Del:incey, had been paid. He also. was
anxious to ascertain whether the advice of the Corn,
missioners of Military Inquiry had been adopted;
which recommended that the Archite6ls and. Sur-.
veyors 6f Bar racks should •be paid by specific sala-
ries, instead of a per centage upon the amount of
tote sums expended. •
.'•
Mr. WHARTON said, in answer to a question put,
that the pension of General Delancey had been ern,
ployed in liquidation of the debt or deficiency of
106,0001. ; 'General Delancey being insolvent.- The
Commissioners • were, however, more anxious in
Nlovang up Inquiries against Mr.. Davison and
other Sub-Accountants, wi\o are solvent, and ,from
wholi several suns q would 'be recovered. Sui,s
were already ini:ituted •for the tiums of 25,0001..
and 27,0001. which had been discovered, and there
were expectations of still more. • - • •
Mr. WHARTON moved, that a sum not exceeding
1,250,0001, should be granted fur defraying the ex-
penees of the Cornmissariat.Department.
Mr. PARNELL, Mr. PONSONBY, and Mi'. WHIT-
Ett RAD objecte:l, that there were so few vouchers for
so large a suet of money.
Mr. WHARTON, Mr. FOSTER, and the CHANCEL+
Lott of the Exchequer- said the estimate was made
up in C!e, usual_ way, and the items
.and 'vouchers
were the same as they had ever been.
A convers:ttion of some length took place on the
propriety of gtanting t7;00Q1. for the draining of
bog lands in Ireland.
Mr."Fosma the CHAiNICELLOR, of the Ex-
CHEQUER: contended, that the advantages :were
likely to be so great as to snake .it well worth the
advance of such a sum. '

-Mr. PONSbNBY thought the risk would be very
great, and that.so large a sum of the public money
ought not to
.be so emplOyed. • There was a sum
of 50001. voted Last Session for similar purposes,
and nu account had ,been given of the manner in
which it had been
,expended.
The Resolutions were then read and agreed to,
and the House adjourned.

LUNDO.N.

TUESDAY, 'APRIL 17, 1810.

It is with sentiments of the deepest regret that we
announce to our Readers the- death of -the gallant
Lord C.OLLINGWOOD. He had obtained leave to re..
turn to England in consequence of the bad state of
his health, and. died-two days after Ir! left IVlinbrca.
'His Lordship left England early in 1805, and from
.that period till his death, was constantly, afloat and
employed in the most active services. We have
hot room, nor indeed if we had, would it beneces-
kary •to recapitulate the various atchievements of
Lord CoLLiNGW9QD, Which deservedly raised him to
the h;gll.:st, honourof his profession, and to the dig-
nity ot .1 he Pe.-rnge. it
_is
.unnecessary to recall- to ,
the recollection, of our Readers his gallant conduct in
`taking his station at the mouth of Cadiz Harbour, .
with four sail of the line, in 1805, when the corn-
. ,
bined•tleet .of 34 sail of the line. were in that harl
-hour, and in keeping that position, in the sight of-
an enemy so immensely superior, until the British,
fleet, was reinforced, and the enemy ultimately de-
Strayed in the_ hsttle, of 'Trafalgar: His _Lordship
Was- the particular friend of Lord Nelson ; they bad
serve much together, and had ample opportunities
of admiring each other's conduct, particularly in. Oa
memorable batile of the t4th February_ i 797. .
In the battle of Trafalgar, Lord CoLLtNGwooD,
then Second in Command, led -one of the British
lines into a4tion in the Royal Sovereign. His con-
duet on that day elicited- the admiration of the whole
fleet, and Lord NELSON frequently direEted the at-
tention of his Offices to the Royal Sovereign, ex-
claiming, with, the enthusiasm which he always
displayed when in battle, " Look at COLLING-
WOOD—Iook at COLLINGWOOD." It is
ly to -.be, lamented that neither of these he-
roes should -hive lived to revisit their native
,land, to have witnessed theldmiration„Land• received
the applauses of their countrymen. HiS Lordship
died of a stoppage of the Pylorus, or inferior aper-
ture, of the stomach. For some time before his
death he was incapable of taking any. sustenance

whatever.. lib died on-the 7th March. The com-
mand of the fleet devolved, on his death, union Ad-
miral MARTIN.
