ed the Order of the Day for going into 0. COHsHlit•
tee on the Batik Restriction Bill.
11v. HORNER expressed his hope that tbeAight
Hon. Gentleman would not press the discusiion
now, as several Bank ACCOUDIS which bad ;been

Some conversation, in a low tone of voice then
took place between Lord CAsTLEIIKAGHi
TIEILNEY; Mr. W. WYNNa, and the Ctrancemma
of the EXCLIIIQUER, respecting the Civil :List ;
when we understood Lord CAsTLEmpiou to state
it was his intention to bring; the subject forward on
`Wednesday.
Mr, TIERNE' then masted for a Lleturn of the
Produce of the Stamp Duties collected under the
Act of the 54th and 55th of the King.—Ordercd.
'Mr. TIRRNEY then observed, that he tout heard
a sum of 13,000/. vas, in 1812, taken frorii the
produce of the Crown Lauda, and applied to the
purchase Of two houses in Pall-mall. He wished
to know from the Right lion. Gentleman oppo,.
site if such was the tact ? The answer he should
receive would determine whether he should sub-
Wit a moth,, to the Home or not.
The CIIANCELLOR of the Excnactvest sai4-, the
fact certainly was that two houses had horn par-
thased. If the ;tight Hon. Gentleman wished
'for more information, he must get it by way of
motion.

Mr. TtEnt4tot suggested, that the Hight lion.
(*sentient:4n might inform himself on the subject,
and communicate 'such information to the House
as would render a motion unnecessary.
Mr. GRENTBLI. said, he was a party'concerned
in this transaction, as one of the houses purchas-
ed by Government in 1812 was his. The sum be
ad received for it was 90001.' and that was the
sum at which his interest in the House Was valued
-by Mr. Christie and the Government Surveyor.
MI...TIERNEY said, he observed that the iniaries
paid to the Commissjoners of his Majesty's Lands
and Forests for the year was 8009 k: nod that the
contingent expences were 23,9001:; and this upon
to income of 61 ,0001.'; ate HOW whited-ft-I Move
for the itcrns this eXpenditure of 23,0001.
After a few words froM Lord Castlereagh; the
thorifli was agreed tat 0,
Sir M. Itutt,y said, lie understood there
were .it this time three Officers bethngtng to a,
Di ag.on regiment at present in France, who bad.
ob:-sined leave of absence; and were now in this
country; two of them being-at the University of
Oxford, and one at Cambridgei and itISO that an

Officer, of the ran;; of Ntdor, toa ob-;
rained leave of absence for two years, and was
now accompanvioti a yoong Nobleman .'on a.cour
rot.othUhe Contineut, • lie wished to ItttO;v from
the Noble Secretary at War, if mich 'was.. really
the fact ?

Lord PALNIRRSTON COOld not answer this ques-
tion. The grants of leave of absence did not pass
through his office ;, and he WEIS not able to say
what leave of absence Lord Wellington might
think fit to grant to the Officeri of his army.

Mr. HORNER moved for a copy of the New In-
denture of his Majesty's Mint.---4)rdered.
Mr. W. WYNNE alluded to certain accounts
.which he moved for some time since, relative to
the contingent estpences of the Navy Office ; and
complained that those rehirns had not been made
before this time. He further observed, that unless
he received a satisfactory explanation, he shbuld
move for their production forthwith.'
Mr. CHOKER assured the Hon. Gentleman that
every possible exertion had been used to set the
papers in question ready ; butt' they were of` so
Complicated a nature, that at present it had. been
found impossible. He trusted the Hon. Gentle-
ulan would not move for their production forth•
with, as that would imply censure where censure
was not deserved.

Air. W. ‘VyNtis had no Wish to imply censure
any where ;- all he wanted was the Accounts, and
if the Hon. Secretary would. Put him in a Way to
get the information he wanted in a way attended
with less trouble, he would adopt 'it.---Here the
subject dropped:
