thation on this head was to be expected, he agreed
that the postponement of the measure was the less
necessary
The House having resolved itself into a Committee
of Supply, a number of miscellaneous Irish Services
Were voted After which,
Lord PALMERSTON brought forward his Army
Estimates. He should content bimselt at present
With ohe leading features, reserving the details for a
future occasion. From a general view of the whole,
it would 'be seen, that, comparing the Estimates with
thosekif the last year, there was an increase of 7600
anti, and ,£1 10,000 of 'charge. The increase in charge
arose from a variety of causes; among others, from
an increase Of pay or allowance to Non-commissionest
Officers, to the amount of £20,000 abyear. Anew
charge of Cavalry Staff, to the amount of 900 men,
occasioning an expense of arlooooo ; a new corps,
called York Chassetirs, to the number of 673 men, &c.
tnderthe head of Staff and Garrisons, there was an
increase this year in the Fortign service to the amount
of £.56,000. This, no doubt, contained no esti:hate for
Lord Lynedoch's army, but would be effectually co-
vered under the saving in Lord. Wellington's Staff.
There was an increase in the present year's estimates,
which he was certain the House would be happy to
encourage, namely, in the pay of General Officers
not having Regiments, who were at present in the
Receipt of every possible variety of pay from that of
Lieutenant-Colonel to that of a Captain. This was
not consistent with justice or liberality, and a con.
Very practice not only.prevailed in every other Mili-
tary Service, except ours ; but even its the Naval Ser-
vice of this Country, such had ceased to be the rule
for more than a century. His intention was to place
General Officers on- the same footing with Flag ‘ffi-
ters in the Navy. Thus a Major-General to have the
same pay with a. Rear-Admiral, a Lieutenant-Gene-
ral the same pay with a Vice-Admiral ; but a Gene-
ral to have no higher pay thada Lieutenant-General.
This would amount to about £83,000. Another in.
crease of par would beta Officers reduced to half-pay,
who must suffer from the same cause which afforded
a prospect of prosperity and congratulation to the
rest. of. the country. This, he estimated at from
£150,000 to A 160,000. In the Volunteer- service
there would be a reduction of about selso.ooo.-
-In vie Irish Commissariat a reduction of about
£70,(00 ; and in the Barrack Department of Ireland
a reduction of about £BB,OOO. He then' proceeded
to state the redaction's which had already taken place,
or were immediately to take plate in our forces at
P home, and in the recruiting service, which waserlow
confined to the London Districts. The Home staff.
having now sustained a considerable reduction. which-
wouukt be • Increased against September next to 96
General Officers. Every proper reduction, he pledged
himself to the House, should take place the earliest.
possible soometit it could be effected.
The first Resoludothliamely, thatiher4 be granted
fax the Land Forces, at Home and Abroad, the sum
of £1;646.000, being put,
Mr. PONSONBY again noticed the late hour at
which this business had beet} brought forward. As
to the duty of the House and the Country to make the
best possible provision for the General Officers bt our
Army, and also for those Officers who must necessarily
Ntire on half pay, he entirely concurred with the
oble Lord : that &icy, be thought, could only be
bounded by our abtlity. He would have liked, how.
ever.to have heard a declaration from the Noble Lord
as to what was likely to be our peace establishitient.
The Noble Lord bad left this matter too much open
to conjecture when he talked of his disposition to make
, the faux establishment allow as possible. It ought to
be as nearly as possible what it had been previous to
the French Revolution.; and, wherever any deviation
was dude from that scale of expenditure it was for
the Noble , Lced, and those who acted with him, to
spew that'sucb deviation was necessary. Before the
French Revolutim, the whole sum raised for the
expetises of the year, and to pay the interest of oaf
debt, was sirseatmllliens a year. Now the ireeritst
of our debt alortrente upwards of forty millions ; and
he did not memo, the whole of out annilal expeOse
by sta ing It at sixty millions. In such circumstances
it Was she imperious •°i-iuty of Ministers to redthe* our
expense as much as possible; and he must assume:
the amount of our expense, previous to the French,
Resiolu ion, as the best crizeilon by which, to judge

MICR OF 721.-LINGTOW.
Mr. W. WYNNE, adverting to the arrival of the
buke of Wellington, wished to know from Ministers
whether they had it in contemplation to propose any
measure to the House, to enable them to pay suitable
honour to that great and illustrious indisidual ? He
wished also to know, if, as had been usual at the con-
eltibion of a war, it was in their contemplation to move
the thanks. of the House to his M3jesty's forces ? As
the consequence of peace would be a reduction of the
forces, the thanks ought to be given as early as
possible.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, that nothing of that kind had been yet proposed.
Mr. WYNNE said, in the case of the Duke of
Marlborough it was thought fit to vote the thanks of
the House to him for his general conduct in the cause
Of the war ; and to is t a Deputation to wait on
him. for the of congratulating, him on his
safe arrival in this country. He certainly thought
that an early day should be fired for the purpose-to
16-laitisb be had alluded. Adjourned at one o'clock.
