qu'isite for their rnovetnetits, and other unavoidable '
expences, I should think that •not Less than 500,0001.
would have been requisite before they could have
been. said to be in a state to commence operations in
the field.
At what sum should you estimate the monthly
ordinary and-extraordinary expence of such a lope
during the campaign, assuming one-fifth of the army
to be cavalry ?-e-1 believe the ordinary expence
would be near 100,0001. and the extraordinary ex-
pence, speaking upon a general view, I apprehend
would not have been less than trum 150,0001. to
000,0004 per month, varying according to the cit..-
cuinstances- of more or less of taetiiiiy in the ppera=
tions of the the army ;. but upon the whole, I should
say that it would not have been prudeUt to lerve
reckoned upon 'an expenditure of less than from
e50,0001. to 300,0001. per mouth, always bearing in
mind that whether the means of making such an
expenditure were provided by bills of exchange, or
by 'the purchase of' bollion, the loss upon that ex-
change of from 18 to 20,per cent-is to be taken into
this calculation..
- : Supposing, on the arrival of the Expedition in
the North ofGermany, it had been deemed advise-
able to proceed immediately to levy, arm, and pay
an army of native troops, what sung would it have
required to create and support, such a force, taking
its number at 40,000 men ?-e-It is tery difficult to
give any thing like a precise answer to that ques-
tion; .but I should conceive, that to levy, arm,
and equip such a force, supposing it did nor exist
before as a- military body, would certainly require
at least 600,0001. before .they could be considered
as at all formed , into a military corps. I do not
conceive that their monthly expence afterwards
could be less than tWo•thild.S.or three-fourths of the
expence of a British force of the same amount.

. Do you conceive that.any extension of intercourse
with the Continent that could have resulted train
the arrival of a. 13ritish army in the Elbe, would
have produced such an increased facility in point.of
exchange as would have justified the undertaking
an Expedition to the North of Europe in contem-
plation of such .a scale of expenditure as the two
preceding questions refer te.?—lf the:result of the
Expedition bad been to open a convenient and 'di-
rect intercourse 'with the Continent, and to put us
in secure possession of a great market of exchange,
such as. 'Hamburg!), considerable facilities would
certainly have been derived from those advantages ;
,but I do not think, that in the state in which the
exchanges were in the month of-June,- and consi-
dering that .doubt might have existed as to.the se-
curity of our occupation of Hamburg!), 'or any such
place, at least in the fiist. movements, we .should
-,have derived a .degree of facility for drawinglailis
Lyon this country at all
,adequate tothe, demands of
such a force as is adverted ro in the tornier,ques-
.tions. must alto observe,: that in the opinion I
,enti7rtaiiied at the time the Expedition was prepared
"for the &held!, and tire view .1 took ofour pecuniary
resources as tar as relates io foreign coin, I conceive
that we did not possess means adequate to the ex-. 1
.pence of such' an Eipedition,. even .up, to the mo-
ment when it Might be supposed_tp have obtained a
secure looting upon the continent ; and conse-
quently With *reference to this. peetiniary difficulty,
that any such Expedition could not be undertaken
without incurring great risk of finding itself with-
out the means of providing for the, subsistence an&
the'unavoidable extiaorditiary expences of the army.
Can you state to the Coriimittee the circum-
stances which enabled his .Maj-esty's Government to
carry on the operation to the Scheldt, with. the
limited pechniary means whiCh 'they at that time.
could command 1--!The sum provided for- this Ex-
pedition, as I have already stated,- Was one hundred
