It was et
kst night that an Austrian Messen-
Pt has acttally arrived in London with dispatches,
Und that be is also the bearer of presents to the Put NCE
REGENT, on the occasion of his inves:ment with the
full Powers of the British Crown.-L•There is no foun-

It is also rumoured that A ustria will not join France

will in consequence be obliged to-abandon the enter.

West India man who Would not stipport the Orders
in Council.." I say, stand to your ground, now you
bare taken it—talking of two fellows pumping in a
well ; I say stand to your ground—Old England
for ever !"
Mr. HUSKISSPN said he shoold move that in-
stead of 4534,000 the grant be reduced to £400.000.
Mr.C. WYNNE objected to a grant which amoun-
ted to no less a sum than asso per man and horse.
In other barracks the estimate was ,882 per man.—
Was it to be understood that 8500 was for each
horse's stall.
Mr. CALCRAFT observed, that barracks had
been built in his neighbourhood for 100 cavalry, at
ap e pen ce of about £6OOO.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
giddiest= proposed was not for procuring accom-
modation for the horses and men alone, but for the
Staff also ; for an inclosed exercising ground, and for
temporary accommodation within the walls for a lar-
get body of horse, when occasion should require.
Mt. WHITBREAD appealed to the Committee
y there was a single man in the Hooise who bid the
smallest idea of the nature of this grant till now._
Either the Right Honourable Gentleman who spoke
List hew more ou this subject than the Secretary of
the Manny did, or the latter had not done his duty.
lie asked, would the Honourable Secretary not now
agree to postpone this grant ? Or would not the
Cennoinee feel a jealousy how they accede to the
granting of money on such an estimate ?
Mr. PONSONBY said, the question was not ',he.
thet this sum should be voted at all or not; but whe-
ther or not time should be given to the Committee to
understand what they were doing ? All he should
say, if it was true that France and England were
now to be compared to two men up to the neck in
beater, std if in such circumstances, barracks for
.850 soldiers were to cost England 13183,000, it was
not difficult to see which of the two must be choaked
first.
Lord FOLKSTONE could not view the proposed
taarracks in any other light than as. a citadel to over-
Ewe the people ;--(Loud cries of Hear, hear !) —nor
did he view the intention to raise 4, permanent bar-
tacks" near those populous" places, Bristol, Liver-
tool, &c. in any other light. He thought delay ne.
usury, therefore, should vote for the Amendment.
' After a few words from Mr. CREEVEY, the'
}louse divided* when the numbers were—Against
tie Amendment 88—For it 40—Majority 48.
When stringers were again admitted, the few re.
w lining douses were put and carried, without a divi.
sion, after which the Report was brought up, and it
Was ordered that it bo received to-morrow.
t •it was further moved, that the estimates for the St.
Maryla-bonne' Liverpool, and Bristol Barracks, be
lsid before the House.— Ordered.
