Mr. H. ADDINGTON said, the Hon. Gentletwio
(Mr. Bennett) seemed to think the system, as to.
New, South Wales, radically bad ; he therefore
hoped he.would devote his attention to it, and if
he could deviic a better plan, he lind no doubt.
the House would adopt it. The reason of 111 c
late period of the'Session at which he introihiced
this Bill, was, that' having endeavoured to con...
sod tlate all the Acts in it, he could not stioiter
frame the 11.111. As to the arrangement of tie
son ships, every attention had been paid to the

impossible, at home, to fix What reductions should

Gentleman compared the Estimates of former
years With those on the table, he would. See that
the chief (Het ence was occasioned hythe -absence
of all the minor items to which he• had alluded.
10 1702 there were only three head Sarge Ons iu
the hospitals in the West Indies ; would •it be
proper.te trust the health of the present force to
so small a lumber /elt must not be forgotten,
that with the increase of colonies and of garri-
bons, the number of Staff Officers must be auee-
Ineotede A's to the Staff Officers at home, the
office of the Cenonander-in-Chief should be con-
sidered as a public department. He trusted that
lie would be aide in the Committee to justify the
charge propoSed.
Ilttet:itts• objected to going into the Com.
inkier, because all that could he done in it wanid
be t'' augment •or diminish a sum, and the main
question whether such a number of Officers should
,be employed, could not he discussed. llis lion.
Friend had justly said, that some increase tai ht
- be expected: in the 'charge on the Staff on foreign
stations, but not at augmentation of three and
•faiir to one. This ealled for explanation, tint no
satisfactory explanation had been given: It had
been said that it would be a delusion to pretend
• to rodeo" estimates of the reductions which might
'take place on remote stations; without hating paid
previous entnumniCations with the Cemetnntlere
ou those stations lilt it woeld a still gloater
delusiOn. to produce estitnatei by which the house
would vote large emes-elnumey which might. not
be wanted at all. Those conscientious Ministers,,
who would not impose any aIIOCCCSSary bltrthen
upnn time conuity, had prorksed some. time ago
41,,0001. for thieStaff in Irebtodi but they had since
discos erect, that out of 48,0001. 15,0001. mOlt be
saved this year, and 25.000/. the next. Similar re-
ductions would take place on other point s,if the pre-
sent Estimates were senthacic. Noone believe'
it neeessary that the expense of. 1802 should he
trebled and quadrupled. The French,.

for when e War Secretary was kept under the
name of the Colonial Department, the whole was
a scandalous, waste of the :public money." Mir

The enemy wits no' longer at our doors ; and Ali.

DIPLOMATIC PRESENTS.

TN) 'Owing is nn Account of the Presents received by Per-
sons in the Offices of his Majesty's Principal Secretaries of
'State, from Foreign Sovereigns, in the years ended the sth
of January, 1815, and the sth of January, 1816.

These Presents, "which with respect• to the Se-
cretaries of State or Plenipotentiaries signing
Treaties, are usually snuff-boxes, with the por-
trait of the Sovereign presenting the same, set in
diamonds, and with respect to the Chancery
Pre.4ents,''are a fixed stint of Money, have • been
tcceived in conformity with ancient nsag,e, the
oceasiowand anionnt from each Court being •re
plated by precedent.
During the late Congress of Vienna, it appear-
ing that the Treaty of Congress, as,well as the
Treaties of Alb:ince and Subsidy to he acceded to
by the severJl Sovereigns of Europe, might letl
to a great accumulation of Presents, and large cit. •
pence, it wits•propOsed, on the Part' of Great pH
fain, to the other. Pknipotentiaries there as-
seinblud, to adopt under these circumstances, a •
special regulation with respect to the exchange of
Presents between their respective Courts, which
aright obviate this ificontemetke.

The Plenipotentiaries adopted in consequence of
this suggestion, a regolattom restrictive of the
rresants which, by diplomatic nsage, they would
themselves have been 'entitled to receive ; but

•
they declined to supply this pribeiple to the usual
Chancery Presents, considering •thein as consti-
tuting an acknowledged part of the pecuniary
profits 'lt the employes in their respective offices.
A eort6ponding 'regulation with respect to
Presents, took place in the late negociationt at
Paris,

Muter the regulation above referred to, forty-
five Treaties and Conventions were signed in the
course of the two last yees, without the usual
*:xehauge of Presents hetWeen the Plenipotentia-
ries of the respective Courts. •
Ciu some of the Treaties with the minor Ger-
man Princes and others, the Chancery Presents
Were also decljoed.

has complied ; unit it is mutually agreed that the
