The rum propofed for the remainder of the year
for this fervice was, he obferved,confiderable; but

Several of thefe, however, he obferved, could
not be expelled to.be difbanded immediately.—
Until the troops now on foreign fervice returned
from abroad, it would be neceirary to preferve
our garrifons here ; feveral of the regiments pro-
poled to be di(banded mita therefore be' kept on
foot for Tome time longer. It was alto intended
to reduce the Royal Garrifon Battalion and fix
Weft India Regiments. The Invalids it was in-
tended to reduce altogether, it being thought bet-
ter to keep up a regular Infantry than a corps of
Invalids, although that Body muff certainly be
confidered as highly refpeaable and ufeful.

contribute to the payment of the troops Rationed
there for its defence, which would bias confiderahle

for Rating particularly what Regiments were to be
Rationed in Ireland, and wheel's Great Britain ;
it mull be confidered according to cireumaances
as to what force thould be Rationed in any pert of
the United Empire. The Cavalry, which it was'
ptivored to have in fervice for.the remainder of
the year, were three Regiments of HorfeGuards,
feven Regiments of Dragoon Guards; and twenty
Regiments of Dragoons. It was prorated that
the eftabliffiment oreach Regiment thould be eight
troops of 6o men each; mabMg a total to each Re-
giment of 480. The Foot Guards would remain
the fame as at the lag peace. The Regiments of
Font it was propofed to number 11-ons one to cies--
ty-nine—the whole number of Infantry kept up,
would be 48,e51. The Regiment of Riflemen, it
was propofed to keep up. The Royal Waggon
Corps it was alto proputed to keep up in a certain
degree, as it was important to have people of that
defci iption in our fervice, in readinefs at the com-
mencement of a War—die number propofed to be
kept up was 259. The Staff Corps it was alfo
propored thould be kept up. as it chiefly contified
of artificers, and from which much advantage
might be derived. With refped to General and
Staff' Officers, the charge under this head seas
larger than tifual, but the number, employed was
as new as poffible. It was propofed to have only
four Major Generals in Ireland, one in each pro-
vince, Which was as (mall a number as could be
employed in that country. As to the Foreign
Corps, it was propoled to retain only three Regt-
ments,with the exception of the Regiment of Meu-
ron. in India, which it was irderttood would re-
main in the pay of the EaR InuiaCompany. Thole
propofed to be retaine3 were thole which, by ca-
pitulation at the Mend of Ceylon, were to be em-
ployed in the fervice of Great Britain for ten
years ; the Regiment of Rohan, which was at
prefent actually in garrifon at Alexandria, and the
QEeeit's German Regiment. With refpett to the
Foreign Corps, which it was propofed to difband,
he trufled the juftice and humanity of the Com-
mittee would induce them to make a liberal com-
penfation to the Officers. The turn of 32 t,oool.
which was propofed to be voted, included not GMT
the maintenance of the Corps retained, but alto a
compenfation for thole difbanded. It was pro-
pofed to keep up the Royal Military College—
upon an economical fcale the eapence would be
63691. per annum. This inititution was of impor-
tance, inifmuch as it tended to form fkilful Offi-
cers; and if we had skilful Officers, 'the number
of men employed might be decreafed, as a (mall
number of men, commanded by Officers of (kill,
would do much more than a larger number under.
the command of Officers inferior in Military Sci-
ence. It was to be obferved, at the fame time,
that a great part of the expense of this Intlitution
was defrayed by contribution. It was propofed
to keep up alto the Royal Military Afylum. He
chncluded by moving his .Irft Rer)lution, for pro-
viding 70,2)9 Land Forces, including Officers,

Mr. Ban es raid, it seas by ro means his inten-
tion to object to the vote ; but he wifhed to take
the prefent opportunity of calling the attention of
the Houk to the ell:thin:tient now for the firtt
time propofed as a Peace Eflabliffiment. Although
he was ready to admit the Right Han. Gentletnatt
had declined Rating it as a permanent Peace.
Ellablithment, yet it aeztuld become the Commit-
tee to confider it in one or tern points of view.
The qtteltion had never dirediy come before Par.
Bement (ince the termination of the late war, yet
from What had occurred in the courfe of various
debates, it was ealy for him to perceive, that he
was addreffing hintfelf to an audience not difpored
to Ellen favourably to the arguments he thould
offer. He thould limit the obfervationishe had to
make, in confequence of his perfnafion- that no-1
tions Afferent from thole which ;ideated him,
would be prevalent in the Committee. He, how-
ever, contidered he should neither be difcharging
the duty he owed to the country, and to his own
charader, if in the new and unparalleled fituation
in which the country was placed, he did not fate
what occurred to him as the foundation of thole
principles which ought to guide the Houfe in
adopting fuch rneafures as exifting circuralhances
demanded. He offered his fentiments with ex-
treme diffidence, becaufe he was aware he differed
materially from perfons eminent for their political
wifdowewho thought they could not recur to what
had been the former pradice without danger to
the country. The Committee were now called
upon to vote under• the firft bead or Artlfy .Efts-
mates, for guards for Great Britain and Irelaadel
an eftabliflimcnt of eo,ooo men, namely, 23,000
for Ireland, and 47,000 for England. Previous
to the late war, the ettimates of Army for the
peace eflabliflunent wavered from 18,000 down to
15,000 men, but they never exceeded the former
number. Such a difproportion• as there was be-
tween chat number and 47,000, ought to induce
the Committee to rade before theyTandionecl an,
increare of fo very great an extent. Of the Plan-
tation eflimates the encreafe was not fo large, but
Rill it was confiderable. On the ofd peace ((lab-
liniment they did not vary much more than from
~13,000 to x 6,000 men, including the Plantations
in general; they were now fated at 25.500 men.
He was far from meaning to infer, that in the
prefent Rate of the Well Indies there ought not to
be additional garrifons in Tome of the Colonies ;
but filch an increafe, where it was neceffary, might
be more than counterbalanced, by reducing the
eflabliffiment in others where it was not neceffary
to continue upon the fame fcale. Allured he was,
that the Right Hon. Gentleman and himfelf per-
redly agreed upon principles, and that he differed
from him only in the application of them. He
agreed with him that every predicable (economy,
confiftent with the fecurity of the country, ought
to be adopted : but then the Right Hon. Gentle-
man, and thofc who fupported his opinions, con-
tended, that the economy he recommended, was

imminent danger with which be was threatened,
or rof lofing the opportuniiy of refcii7iig Egypt
from the polreffion of the French. By endeavout-
ing to grafp at two objeds, it often happened that
both were loft. In his opinion, Government by
attempting to retain an army available for all our.
poles of hoilile preparation, would exhauft the
firength of the country; and if the period arrived
when we fhobld be confirained to enter into a new
career of warfare, we fhould do it with weakened
and debilitated refources. The reduction pro-
pofed, he therefore confidered as unfit on the ore
hand for the fecurity of the Country in cafe of
danger • and on the other, as calculated to pre-
:vent the Country from hufbanding its means and
fluting fair with the enemy in the event of a fn.
ture war. Finance was the finew—the nerve—
the very foul of war ; and to keep it unparalized
and fecure, was of all ()Nab the moll important.

was too large for ceconomyi. and not fuaicient for
defence.—While he was recommending to the
Cbffirnittee to cotifider• the Finances of the Coun-
try as far as poffible, he was ready to admit the
refoutces of the Country were great, and that by
perfevering in a fyftem of (economy we mightbe
placed in filch a flare as to infpire hope, but no-
thing could he clearer than that it was imnoMble

and that was by reducing twan extent infinitely
beyond what was propored, the Military E:st.
blilinnents of the Country. Referring to the 7.c.
timates of the Army and, Ordnance L-efore the
War, he maintained they had been d ndtle,'„

would afk every Member of the Committee, whe-
ther, upon looking back at all the cireurnliances of
our Military Syftem in the years 1791 and t 792,
he was not convinced that it was a fyftem which,
to fay the leall of it, was miferably deficient ?
Whether, on the very inliant of the breaking out
of the war, there was not among us a general- con-
fcionfnefse that our Military Eftablithment war
much below the point at which it would be pru-
dent to keep it in future? He really thought fuch
confcioufnefs was general, and that the evils e-
fulling from it, were admitted ; for it was not
until the war had continued for fcveral years,that
I we had an army capable of offenfive operations,
' and it was not until within a certain, and not a
very remote period of the termination of lioailities,
our Army was in the degree of force which it ought
to be for the purpofe of maintaining the contelt in
which we Lad been engaged.—Now, if Gentiernen.j

provide for our fecurity, although the certain et:-
pence of fo doing ,be eonfiderable ; bccaufe, in his
view of the thing, there was no 4:economy where
there was no fecurity. Hi knew his Hon. Fri Ind

to put him in polfeffion of his fentiments on this
ful/jed; he knew the points he had brought for-
'ward toofisht, wete points on which his Hon.
Ftiend's s d was made up, and therefore he
had Rated them to the Committee; he applaud-
ed the condo,,-, and refpated the fincerity of
his Honourable Friend—but he Rootlet feel con-
ildetable alarm for the fituation of this Country,
if the opinion of his Hon. Friend on there topics
(leash! become the prevailing opinion of that
Houle. Lie was not dilpoled to attach •mticli
weight to nay ohfervations, however refpdlable
the (pi itter might be from whence they came,and
none could he more fo than thatof his Hon. Friend;
but, he could not attach much weisht to obierva-
lions which were made from the view of only one
fide of any ft:4;dt : we could not think on the
great inereafe of our expenditure, without feeling
alfo that our Income had likewile increaled. Here
we law indeed an inei cafe front 14 to 23 millions.
If there was fuch an increafe in the anti:el amount of
our Charges,arifing irom the unavoidable increafe
of our Debt, he did not conceive that this confi-
elermion deferved the denomination' of a gloomy
profpeet, (ince there were on the other fide pro-
ipcats of a comfortable kind; for if our Debt had
heen augmented, our Imports had inereafed, our
Elepoi ts-had increafed, our Clipping hail incre:tfed,
..ur Menu l'ae9 ores had inc, eared, and all the fourcei
of our wealth and power as a Nation had im-
proved; and this in a manner, that was much
more than equal to the increafe of our hurthens.—
He was not, to he underlloud by this to contend,
that the preffure of the War was not great: on die
contrary, be admitted that 'preffure to be great ;
but what be contended was, that the power of the
Country was greater than the preffure, upon it,
arld that its means torupport itfelf.are (till ample,
notwithltanding the piefforc it has borne. He
did not mean to under-rate the preffure of the bur-
thens upon this Country it any time, but he did
use 4e any melon why. that part of the fubjed
ihould be.epnfidered, without confidering ifo the
wealth' or the Country. Without deliring the
, Committee to indulge any fentiment cf &fruit
at the prefebt pollute of affairs, 'but merely for
the pairs* of inculcating a doarine of necef-
AVOW, he wound deGre the Committee to
igt the Jtrefent Ccographical relation which.
resfig,ountry bears to other Countries on the dif-
tpares of the Globe. -He contended it was
in
to so look at the Map of Europe without
tee ing that a fentiment of caution and acertain de•
e ofpre,per?tion was impcifed upon that Houfe.

was-e-at smankind as they were; and he .was not

.

lof cr,' ' 7,-lon we Ihould be reduced, if we adopted
the f:actn of this Country -in the year 1791,
for whi,.ll reafon he could not aifent to it.—,
His lini,o::rable.Friend had laid, that a greater
,:egvee of publicity attended the proceedings of;
this country in State matters than that of
..other in this world, and that this publicity had
.its advantages and its ditltdvautages. This flaw-
rnent was perfealy correct as far as it went.—
That the publicity of the proceedings of a Stec
was attended with fome difadvantages was
erne, and they were infeptrable from the condi-
tion of a Free State; but that the advantages on
thz whole cafe, greatly overbalanced the-difad-
vantages of fuch publicity, was abfolutely mani-
felt to him ; fo much to, that he did not think it
a que!lion to be at all difenifed in the prefent
enlightened hate of human fociety. But he could
not help laying, 'that whatever evils might be
flippefed to attend the publicity or the knoments
of public men on public affairs, fuch fentiments, •
in his opinion, ought to be made public, that the
world might, judge of them. He never did,
and he hoped he never fhould, ufe any violent or
intemperate language towards other Powers, but
he ihould always ufe explicit language in convey-
ing what he meant as necetrary mcafures for the
well-being or fafety of this country. How irrita-
tion could be the refult of that courfe he could not
conceive, but if it was to be to, he fhould not be
deterred from doing his duty. from any fuch, or
indeed any other confideration.—Having Paid this,
he lin-add-add, that in his opinion it was not pot*.
ffible to provide for the fecurity of the country,
nor indeed to be in that Rate of Military Force,
whii.ll all the Committee (except his Honoura-
ble Friend) teemed to with, between this time
and • the end of the year, without voting that
which was now propofed. He earneftly hoped the
leer sod was not remote, when a large redo Rion
timid take place in our Peace EtlablOhment ; but
we thould at all events guard againfl the pnflibility
of being placed in the fame fituation we were in
at the period of 1791. Upon the whole, he was
inclined to hope that the Houk and the country
would not think that Government had (hewn any
improvident regard to what was due to the Court,
try, by bringing forward the propofition which
, was now before the Committee. The amount of
I the Naval and of the Military .Force to be kept
up in this Country mutt, in future, be judged of
by circumtlances ; opinion was, that they
might be fafely reduced to a very confiderable ex.
tent ;,but he begged to be underftood as not to
pledge himfelf to any fpecific Effabliffiment, ei-
ther as to Navy or Army. He fhould with to
proceed in Inch manner as to provide for our
tafety in all cafes, without any unnecefrary ex-
pence. He was of opinion that the meafure-now
propofed was not mare than. was neceiTary, under
the prefent circumffances, to provide for our fafe-
ty according to the principle which, he apprehend-
ed, was the true guide of our conduit:
Mr. Jowls thought the burdens intlipportable,
but taw the neceffity of prefenting an ifon front to
the adamantine Republic. He thought the Houfe
too thin to decide on fuch an important fobjell.
Mr. VAN SITTART rote to corral fome Date-
ments made by Mr. Bankes. He Paid the Hon.
Gentleman had ftatld the exeefs of the revenue,
above the intereft of the debt in 1791 to amount
to 6,700,0001. and that in the prefent year only to
5,500,0001. In oblerving upon this. he fbnuld
take the accounts made up to the Sth April lag,
inticad of thole made up to January, as in the hit-
ter there were many things which arofe from cir-
.cumtlances not at all to be expelled during peace.
By the accounts made up to April lag, the net
revenue Amounted to z 2,90915,0001. In this Cum
the Cultoms were not included, nor a deduftion
of 2,000,0001. for corn bounties. The ftoppage
of the dillillcries had alfo in the preceding period
taken away a large cum; but of this be thould
make no cilimate at prefent. There was omitted
alfo in the accounts, the turn of 300,0001. of the
revenues of tilot. In addition to this, the taxes
laid on this year would, at the mat moderate
computation, amount to 4,000,0001. and the land
tax to 2,600,0001. making in all neatly 31 millions
and a half. The intereft and expences of the
debt amounted to 21,600,0001. from which it
would appeal that the clear fond to cover our
expenditure was 9,600,0001. inftead of 6,700,0001.
the boafted ovcrplus of 1791.
Mr. BAN sea laid, that from the papers laid up-
on the table he fhould attempt to jollity himfelf
from the charge of inaccuracy. The Accounts
which lay on the table only came up to January,
it was therefore impoffible in reafoning from them
to take any notice of the Loan, or the new Taxes,
which did not then exiff. He contended, that all
the particulars he had formerly Rated were cor-
ral ; that the balance of the free Revenue was
greater in 179 t, and that we had a double expense
on a Ms Revenue: he thould defer any further
obfervations until a future day.

CHANCELLOR OF IRELAND. •
The Houfc having refolred izfelf into a Com-
mittee to confider of the falary of the Lord Chan-
cellor of Ireland.

Mr. CORRY raid, as this was a fubjea on w'aich
there could be no difference of opinion, either wi:h
regard to the importance of the Office rn- the
*merit of the perfon who filled it, he would not
take up the time of the Houle any further th to by
Ratiag, that in confequence of the Union :-.11 the
fees derived by the Chancellor of Ireland had
ceafed. A.. compenfation had ben wade to the
late Lorl Clare for this lot's, but it was made only
for his life. It was therefore neceira, y to reftoie
it again; as every pet fun mutt feel that an office
of fuch dignity and importance, and filled by a
man of inch learning, talents and integrity as
Lord Redefdale, Oug'at to be fufilciently remune•
rated. He should therefore move, that after a
return was made to the Houfe of the faiary and
fees of the Lord ChancAlor of Ireland, a fum
thould be prefented in ad IitIOA to it, to as to make
the whole annual falai y amount to ro.ocol.
Mr. W. B. Poissoasv thertly cep, aired his opi-
nion, that the propoftd fum was not too much for
the purpole, beciolfe iniormer year., the emolu-
ment. of Chancellor ia Ireland were known to ex-
ceed that; but he hoped it would not be made a
precedent for granting similar increafes, on Qcca-
lions where fuch may not be necelfary, and to per.
fons lets cleaving than the °Ned of the prefent
motion.

Mr. LVIGII4 obferved, that the propoied increare
was by no means more than adequate to its ob-
jeas, and that no meafute whatever could canto
more pleafure in Ireland, than that now pro-
pored—he felt it unn:cellary to expatiate on the
rank and dignity of the Office, or the neceflity of
its being filled by st perfon of talents and ability—
and be hetirtily thanked his Right Hon. Friend,
for bringing it forwards.
Mr. Roason raid that ro,oool. rag a very largo
fum, and therefore he would oppofe the Refolu-
tion. Gentlemen on the Treafury Bench might
laugh and think lightly.of it ; perhaps they ex-
peaed to get good places of the fame kind for
themfelves, hut the people, who were heavily tax.
ed, did not think fo.

:».

The CHANCELLOR of the Excncoy tit could not
help obfer.ving, that the Hon. Gentleman appear-
ed to be a little i4fellted.with.v.hofe feelings of am- .
bition which he imputed to others. He then de-
fended the Refautitio ; and contended that the
fum to be granted' was no more than a' rerntmer-
ation of the molt aconornical kind to A Noblest:V.ln
of the higheil charafter for talents arulaffidtrity;
and from whom the property of Ireland•was.like- • .
ly to derive fuch great recurity.
!• Mr. JONES laid, he Would not advire
Friend to let ambition tire his mind upon: the pre.
fent occafion, but, to a certain degree,..bettna-- • -
fidered the propofition in the tame point 4:1 view .
with Min. He v:ohld atle, if the Chancellncpf the
Exchequer, who was perhaps the firtl.ptiblic (Alt
cer in Europe, had half fuch a lliperi4rt6'ihie
prefent. Chancellor of eland he could agree,
boosafule; to give the fum ; but in the precut litua,
tion of this country, he requctlO.dte ItighiHon.
Gentleman to panic, and he urged the later;efs-cf
the hour, and idthin a lionfe, as objeCtioni
tr de-
ciding upon the point : however, '-if it were -iftti.
!Irately voted, he Ihould, be the Minifier wlfrsta -
he may, pripofe that he should have a larger fa-
lary than he now enjoys. .
Lord CASTIALEAOtt fpnke ably in Support of ••
the motion. If the contpenation was not ct,nti-
nued, the Lord Chisscallor o Ifeblid watild 'net

be in a better COnation Thais the Chief Inflicts of
the inferior Courts in that kingdom. He would
fapport the motion, not on perfonal grounds,
though he highly refpefted the Noble Lord who
now filled the office, but as a meafure of public
j alike, and as one highly advantageous to Ireland.
Mr. Moose followed on the fame fide, and at
Imre I:aith I-imported the motion. In the 'courts
of his ohfervations, he begged the Committee to
collider, that the funs of ; 0,0001. was not propofed
to b. taken out of the public Treafury, but merely
as rr•lch as would make the prefcnt emoluments
amount to that furn; this could not be fo much as
40001. per annum ; and from foam calculations,
which he entered into, may contingently fall„fitort
of that funs.
Mr. Roason took occafion to enter into tome!
calculations in fupport of certain propofiticnb which
he had in the fill infiance advanced.

The SECRETARY at WAR yefterday Rated to the
lioufe of Commons the regular Military force to
be kept up in time of Peace. To prevent repeti-
tion, we refer to his fpccch for the details with re-
fpea to the Corps to be kept up or dilbanded. It
be ken, that the Peace Eftabliftiment is very.
great—too,ooo men .f Banding military force ;
to which mull be added an augmented Militia,
and a great body of men who mull necefarily be
employed in the Navy. What a number of hands
to be taken from the induftrious population of the
country, and at what an expence ! No Nation
po(l•effcd of lets induftry could maintain a Peace
Eftablifismcnt fo expenfive compared with the
number of its inhabitants.
We arc lorry to find that the account received,
eorougli the medium of the French Papers, of a
yout:ny among the Negroes, is in fome degree
confirmed. The Barbanel Mercury. of the s4th
April, contains a litter from Rofeau, is the inand
of Dom;rlica, of the r4th of April,detailing the par-
ticul.rs. It was a very ferious mutiny of the Bth
Weft ladi.i regiment, eompofed of Blacks. On the
and, ma

alarm was End, and dtatolony put under menial
law, which was fanaioned by a Council of War,
to continue for fourteen 'days. •
They themfelves ahned various motives for'
this outrage ; what the real one may have been,
'yet remains to be invefligated ; but whatever it
was, it can form no palliation for the fccne olthru-
tality which they committed.
The different corps of Militia were immediately
affembled in town, and a part of the 68th regiment,
with about fifty men of the St. George's regiment;
commanded by Captain Dooos, and the Sr. Luke's
Independent Company, were immediately embark-
ed in force of the droghing vac's, in oi der to ad
with the St. John's Independent Company, com-
manded by Captain 'TOTTER. On Sunday hia
Excellency embarked with the remainder of the
68th, and -arrived it Prince Rupert's on the even-
ing of die faine day. Previous to this the 0:1064
MT* kid made sfortie, in which they had a ilcir•
rig& with Captain Taorraa's company, but in
the end were repulfed and •driven back by that
company fupported by the marines of the dale;
rent chips in the'Bayt,' who effeanally continued
' to keep them within the poft till the force which
accompanied the Governor was difembarked. His
Fkseellency found, on his arrival, that terms had
beenpropored to Major HAMILTON.; after which,
r.feveral interviews between parties deputed from the
mutineers and our commanders took place, the re-
Cult of which was, that they (hould furrender and
lay down their arms, which being agreed to, and
that Soo men ihould march to take polliffion, the
Governor, at the head of a detachment from the,
Royals, commanded by Captain Ptat.sr from'
the Saints, about 300 of the 68th, commanded by
Majors SCOTT and HAMILTON, and the Marines
commanded by Captain —t, together with
Come officers and privates of the artillery, en
tered the garrifon, when they found the mutineers
drawn up on their ufual place of parade, with the
cqlours in their front.. They received our troops
with prefenad arms, and obliged two of their Of-
ficers §, whom they had•fpared from the maffacre
of Friday night, to fake pod in their front. The
Governor drew up his troops in two tines oppofite
to them, rode to the.lincof the mutineers, and
ctirefted Atm to Ihoulder and ground:their arms,
On which. Se rode to the rear of the front line.—
They were then ordered to advance three- paces in
front; at which moment a'Serjeant (Cu vac )
called out," No, General—no." The Governor
then replied, if they did not inftantly obey, he
would order the troops to fire upon them. On
which, the whole feized their arms, and a general
fire commenced, by which many of the mutineers
fell, and the remainder difperfed themfelves in
different direafons.

Previous to their difperfion, Captain &RCM
id Lieuteriint BIAUBOIS, with the St. Luke's
.tidependent Company, had received orders to oc-
•upy Fort Shirley, in which were tome few of the
Intineers ; but, being fired upon, and having no
int.:mem with which to force the barrier gate,
'y were o:Aiged to retreat.
After the fcene L,n the parade, many of the
rviving fugitives were teen fcrambling up the
,ter Cabritli, others fied up the inner one, and
tote who could attain it, running along the line
the ridge, difcharged, as they paled, the can-
non which had been previoufly loaded, and point-
' on their purfuers, and then threw•themfelves
teadlong over the precipice. Such, however, was

fpirit of intrepid aftivity, rnanifetled by every
rhite individual in the garrifon, in forming the
!maining pots of the mutineers, that, in the
Irfe of half an hour, the whole wcre complete-

reduced; and thefe daring banditti may now
