The -House. then -resole,-(1 itself into the C./m-4-
, mntee, acid straners were •perrnitted to remain in
Galery.-
Mr. WHARTON was EXafilitiej 'in his place, by
Lord .Castlereagh, as to .the expent:es
conseqUenCee of the late E'xpedwon.—Mr. .rton
stated
.the total amount of the ex.traordii,
pence& to be 834,2701. las. 7d. of wbio-4.2
IS. '7d. was incurred after the evacuation of .South
4eveland.
Mr. WHITBREAD wished, to know if 1:c could.
vouch for the-accuracy of the, accounts, en the faith
of which he made the statement,
Mr. WHARTON replied, that the returns had been
made pursuant to an order given from the different
departmots, each signed by the proper officer. He
could only.speak to. their truth from the reliance he
had on the officers.
Mr. CROKER stated, that he had-a small item to'
ray before the 'House, which had been. placed• friindep.
the head offcontingent exi-ences,
.and whia was
for sums paid to Officers as compensation for ex-
pences they had sustained through being obliged to
entertain persons at their table. The account wothd.
have been laid on the table befoie, but the Chief
Clerk was ill and out of town, and he only could
make up the account corre;itly, as the money had
been paid by him. He (Mr. Croker) had had a private-
a.ccount made outifor himself, from tyhich he could
state the amount of the sum to be about 10' or
.11,0001. •

The House then resolved itself into the Com-
mittee.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose to
submit to the Committee a resolution &i.tuilar to that
of the last year. It was to o,:enik the finding of
eight Millions of Exchequer silia, beariu tteb.:-
tween 20th &b. 109 and t 6th March, 1.810. He
observed that there *ere two descriptions of Bills,
those,bearing an interest of three-pence-hzdfpenny
a day, and those tiearing an interest of three-pence
fart fling. He meant to give the holders of the first
description the opportunity of 'funding between the
20th i.nci 27th of March, and to the holders of the
hitter clertption the opportunity of funding between
the '22.d and 27th. of March; thus making a differ-.
.ence of two days in that respect. He should pro-
p6se thateach person holding Exchequer Bills should
be permitted to fund them at the rate of t031.-as.'
per cent.. in the Navy 5 Per cents. •The interest to
run-up to the gth of April, tint days longer than
op the last occasion, jct order that the act having
17assed, and the certificates having been issued, no.,
interval should takeplace between the ceasing of
interest and the funding of the Bills. He conclud-
ed by moving several resolutions correspondent to
statement.
Mr. BARING objected to the StOck in which these
Bills were to, be funded,
Me. HosKtssoN defended the Stock, as the most
eligible; at a future opportunity it might be re-
duce I. •,
Mr. PARNELL remarked, that the recent financial
observations of the Hon. Gentleman himself did not
afford much hope of such an event.
Sir J. NEWPORT disliked any mode by which
competition was excluded, and the Publ:c kept in
ignorance as to the lowest terms of interest on which
money can be procured.
The CHANCELLOR of the :EXCHEQUER defended
the expediency of allowing the Bills to be funded in
the five per cents.; and contended that in the event
of a cessation-of taxation and loans, there was every
reason to believe that the eration of the Sinking
Fund would create such a rise in the price of the
Stocks, as to render this choice available to the pnb-
lie interest.

The House was then resumed, the Chairthan
reported progress, 'and obtained leave to sit again
this day.
The accounts of the expences;incurred id the Ex-
pedition were then brought up and laid on the table,
as was an estimate of The. expences of the
,Barrack
Department. •

Lord CASTLEREAGH moved for a letter from
self to Lord Chatham, dated August 1, t 8.09, v. fill
its inclosure, as far as the same might be produce.",
without inconvenience to the Public.
The, Mutiny, Bill was read a third time and
passed. . •

The other Orders of the Day were disposed of,
and the House adjourned at Thiee o'clock this
morning. •

Mr. flottNEß deprecated the great increase of un-
funded debt.. He attributed, the present price. of.
Stocks to the dtsengagement of capital trorn foreign
commerce.

Late MILITARY DISTURBANCES in INDIA.

•
Mr. Rosa denied that-so much capital had been
withdrawn from our foreign commerce,- which, he
contended, was one-third more exwnsive than at
any former period.
The resolutions were then :agreed to, and the
Report was Ordered to be received to-morrow.
A long and deiultory conversation ensued on the
propriety of entering into the consideration of the
Ordnance: Eititna:eS, or proceeding with the \Val,
cheren I (lniry at that. Late hour -(twelve o'clock).—
It ryas at agreed-that the Inquiry should pro-
ceed on Tucsd :y. Thursday, and (if necessary to its
completion} Friday, to commence each day at fire
o'clock. The consideration of the Ordnance Esti-
mates was fixed, for Wednesday, and Mr. .13-.l.;ixs
postponed his motion, which stood for Thursday,
to next week,
