"Ike Examiturtkn of the Right Hos. NICHOLAS VANstr-

TART.

Will you Rate the circtunllances that led to the
ifTtie of Navy 13:1k to Mears. Donaldfon and Glenny,
in September iBo t the beginning of Sep-
tember iSot, when the Navy Board laid their
annual ettimates before the Treafury, of the fums
which would be wanted for the remaining months of
the year, I had a converfatiun with Mr. Alcock, the
Chief Cleik in the Revenue Branch of the Treafury,

on the great deficiency which appeared upon coin-'
paring that ettimate, which amounted to about
5,166,00ci. with the lum remaining in the Exchequer
of the Naval Grants for 18ot, which was only'
t,584,0001. I mutt cbferve to the Committee, that
this latter fum is lomewhat different from what ap-
pears in the account from the Navy Office laid before
the Houle of Commons on the 211 i of May Lilt, in
w:iich the (urn remaining unapplied of the grants for
naval ferviees for the year 183 t, on the iit of Sept.
in that year, is Rated at 2,803,0511. beeaufe this
latter film includes 1,000,0001. which was paid out
of the Vote of Credit to the Treafurer of the Navy,

by a friblequent order, and alfo includes the balance
in the Treafirrer attic Navy's hands. On converting
with Mr. Alcncl: on the means of fupplying this de.
ficiency, we firlt contidered how much ..of the Vote
of Credit might be applied to naval fervices, and as
very large firms were drawn upon the Paymailer
General of the Treafury, for the expences of the
army in Egypt, we agreed to reprefent to the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, that not more than
t,coo,ocol. could' be applied to naval fervices, and
that funs was alterwatds accordingly paid to the
I'reafurer of the Navy. Mr. Alcot.k then laid, that
if it was thought unadrifable to cad Parliament to-
gether early enough to pais a vote of fupply for
naval fervice, before the time when the grants for the
year would be exhaulted, a temporary accommoda-
tion might be obtained by felling Navy Bills, which
he laid had been before praaifed irs cafes of great
difficulty. I fail that foci' a mod.: appeared to me
irregular, lan that I would speak to Sir Andrew
Soap: Hamond about it, and recommend it to the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, it it appeared indif-
penfably necefiary for the public fervice. I accord-
ingly law Sir Andrew Snape Hamond, and we
agreed, upon convertlition, that it was the bell ex-
pedient which the exigency of 'the cafe admitted of.
I then fubmitted the refult of our converfation to
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and he Paid, that
it was of fo much importance to poltpons the meet-
ing of Parliament, till the negotiations for peace, then
pending, could be brought to a conclnfinn, that it
was necelfary to carry on the fervice in the mean
time by Inch means as could be devifed, and, upon
the whole, he approved of this expedient as the leap
objeaionable which occurred to irs.
What was the realon for the aim of there bills be-
ing continued to the sth of May 1805 ?—Parliatnent
met the 29th of Oaober 18ot, and a vole of fupply
for the navy, for three months, palled on the 9111 of
November to on the lath of February following, die
turn of z,000,0001. was granted for the reduaion of
the Navy Debt; but as, during the whole of that
time, the negotiation for a definitive treaj of
peace was can on, it appeared to the Chancellor
of the Exchequer to be ienpoffible to conclude a loan
on fair terms, between the public and the contract-
ing parties; and as the only means of railing money
for the public ICI vice, beyond the produce of the
annual taxes, was by iffuing Exchequer Bills on the
initalments of a future loan, it wax imp.ffible to
raile a fufficient fupply of cath to pay off the Navy
Bills, which had been renewed, and at the fame time
to provide fur .he curt em fervice. On the r Ith of
March two inenths further fripply was voted upen
cilimate for tire navy ; the definitive treaty was fign.
ed the 27th of March, and upon the 5.71 of April
the loan was contraaed for ; on the 15. ii the Loan
Act received the Royal Affent. At that time
:tomcod. had been railed by Exchequer Bills, viz.
5,00000001. by a vote on the r ith Dezember tflot ;
t oeecrool. on the zath of February; and t,0c0,0001.
on the Igth of March, on the loan ; and on the ra.th
of April, the day preceding the paffmg of the ASR,
the whole of the Ways end Means whieli had been
granted by Parliament, were entirely exhanlied, the
firil inftalment of the loan was therefore abfolutely
neceffirry for the current fervice, except what was
paid in the ditCharge of the Exchequer Bills granted
upon it : but upon the fecund intlalment of the loan,
the fate and renewal of Navy Bills has been put a
flop to, and has never (ince been renewed.
When the 8,000,0001. of Exchequer Bills, you
have mentioned, were iffued, between November
,Bot and May 1802 ; do you recolita what difcount
Exchequer Bills were at the molt of that time
cannot unfwer potltively from recolleaion, it may
eafily be afeertained by reference to the printed
Stock papers, bur I believe they were at no difcount
whatever, partly becaule being charged on the in-
flair:tents of the Loan, they were very acceptable in
the city, and partly bee:uric the unfunded debt had
been 'greatly reduced, by funding eight
a halt of Exchequer Bills in November tSot.
Do you think if the itfue of Navy Bills had not
taken place in that perioe., and fimilar fumy had
been railed by Exchequer Bills, that thof: bile
would have been at a diiColllll believe that there
would have been great difficulty in railing money on
Exchequer Bills during parr of that pero,d, previous
ttr the funding Exchequer Bills in November, and
that Exchequer pills would have been at a confider..
able difcount, ifmore had been thrown into the mar-
ket at fubfequent periods; as one circnmlfance which
I omitted to mention, was, that in tire coarle of that.
period, the Bank Mettle confiderable advances upon
Exchequer Bills ; but previous to the meeting of
Parliament, no further iffue of Exchequer Bills
could have taken place, beyond We grants for tire
year, without a dirca bleach of the Aa of P.tnlia-

ment.
What amount of Exchequer Bills would have an.
fwered the pewee of Government, fo as to render
it necelfary to ifue Navy Bills ?—I do not know what
the aßnal amount of money raild by the (ale of
Navy Bills may have been. without which it is im-
pollible to anlwer that quellion ; but I have already
raid, that 1 think the air of Llcliequer Bills WM

catlial as ig as it could be without material incon•

vent:lice.
The Navy Bills iffued to Donation and Glenny,
during the yetis tBot and r &it, being continued for
the purport of paying off thole &It iffued, did not
Government pay intereft upon the intereft. as well as
the principal of the money firft railed ?--I take it for
granted, that if Government were obliged to pay off
Navy Bills as they became due, by me.rns of bor-
rowing money in whatever way, they mull pay in•
tereft for what was applied to difcharpe the intereft
upon the Navy Bills, as well as the principal.
The Examination of EWAN LAN-, ffq. guilt 3.
Were ycu one of the Commiffioners of Naval En.
quiry prefent at the firft examination of Mr. Abra-
ham Goldfmid, No.t is, of the Appendix to the

Eleventh Report ?—I was.
Is the evidence which was given by Mr. Goldf-
mid, before the Commitlinnets of Naval Enquiry, on
the 25th June, 180.1., fully [fated in that number of
the Appendix to the Eleventh Report ?—lf it is
meant whether all that Mr. Goldfmid intended lhould
be confidered and taken down as anfwers to the quef-
tions put to him, I believe it is ; I know not that any
thing was omitted
Do you mean all that Mr. Goldfmid intended as
anfwers to the five queflions reported in No. tt, or
all that he intended as anfwers to all the epiellions
put to him on the 25th June, 1804, on the lubjeft of
the itfue of Navy Bills to Mr. Glenny, or Isleffrs.
naldfon and Glenny ?—I am not aware of any other
anfwers that he gave that were immediately appli-
cable to the arm of thole bills, though I Inuit ob-
ferve that it is very pollble, that in the long detcrip-
Lion of a variety of matters which he chofe to enter
into, there may have been things in his conception of
the fubjeal, at the time or lime, which he may think
might or ought to have been taken down ; what 1
mean is, that there was no intention in the Commit-
! linnets of Naval Enquiry of withholding from their
Report any thing that was material to the fubjer% un-
der their invelliaadom
Were any other queftions in writing, relative to
the due of the bills to Mr. Glenne, or Islelfrs.
naldfon and Gienny, put to Mr. Goliftnid on the oath
of June, except thole which appear in No. t t
have no recolleation of any other cpienions (o put to
him, nor do I believe that any others were fo put to
him tl an thofe which appear in No. t t.
Do the Commiflioners of Naval Enquiry always
reduce to writing thole itneftions which Are put to
the vfitncifes before them a part of their examina-
lion ?—lt is their cor.ilant pranice In to do.
Have you any reaion to believe, that that praniee
was deviated from in the examination of Mr. Goldf
mid on the 2 ;th of June, as hated in the Eleventh
Report haoe not.
Did the Commitliorers reduce into writing the
v.irle of the anfwers given by Mr. Goldfmid on the
atth of June, to the quellions then propoled to him
i in wriang by the Comminioners, and lit forth in No.
t t i—Whether all that Mr. Goldfmid lard, between
j the time that the queilion was read to bin, and the
antwer given. as it appears in the examination, was
talent down, it is imponible for me to fay, as he was
with great difficulty brought hack from his own di-
gieffioto; to the confideration of the gricftions put to
bin ; but that the anfwer taken down was the an
frier which he relied open, and all that 1 believe he
conlidered neceffary to late, I am fully convinced.
If I am afked whether all that Mi. Goldfmid laid,
during the time that lie was in the Board Room, was
' taken down, I thould certainly fay I believe not one
hund:eth part of it, as he entered into a bitten), of
himfelf, and a variety of matters not matetial in any
Ihape to the fobje,sl of his examination ; but as I
have before observed, there was no deign in the
Commillioners to keep hack any part of the evidence,
t nor do l believe that it was done.
IWas there (r that day any examination of Mr.
Goldtinid, by the Commiffioners, except by qiieflion,
in writing ?—Not what I confider as examination.
Were there any qtreilions put to Mr. Goldfinkl, or
, any converfation between Mr. Goldfmid and the
I Conuniffioners, or any of them, tending to imprefs
upon their minds the utility ot, or advantage to the
public, resulting from the iffire of the Navy Bills to
lr. Glenny, and Melfrs. Donaidfon and d'eony ?
i do :lot reeolleal any Inch (iellions or converfations.
If inch grunions or canyerfationi had paireti,lhottld
you have confidered them as a material tubjekt of
your invenigation, to as to have induced you to have
taken them down by way el regular question and
anfwer, as part of Mr. Goldfroid's examination ?
The examination of Mr. Goldfmid related to the
!hare that he had in the negnciation of there bilis ;
I do not know that I fhould have looked to him for
an opinion as to the utility or neeeffity of the meafure.
Was there any difference of opinion between the
Commitiloners prefent, as to the propriety of omit-.
ting any thing that Mr. Goldfmid raid, while before
you on the 25th June, which you have nated was not
thought fit to reduce to writing ?—I do not know
that there was any difference of of opinion, hecaufe
do not know thematter hecatre a lubje6t of clifcuffion
Did the Comm Winners of Naval Enquiry confider
the queilion of the neceffity or utility of Miring the
bills negociated by Mr. Goldfroid, for the l'opport of
public credit, to he a point conneated with the fobjet
of their enquiry ?.-alt did not appear to us that it
was requifite to make any particular tricatir y into
the necellity of the meafure, jodaing that whatever
the exigency might be, the prorar nooie providing
for it, was by an apalizakion to railiament.
