COMMITTIC OP SUPPL.Y•

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHKQUEE rose and said.
that it woula be more convenient to the flirtheranee of the general
business of the House if they first went into a Committee of
Supply before going to the principal question of the night. He
should then submit a motion to the Grintonittee, that so much
should be granted to his Majesty for paying et outstanding Lx-
chequer 13+W. This course would raise 'no question upon the
subject of M.:chequer Bills, as the discussion of that would after-
wards naturally occur to the Committee of Way. and Means. He
was sure the House would feel with him, that unless some'such
vote were come to early in the Session, there could be no proceed-
ing with any measures of publiefiniutce. He_should, therefore, take
the liberty of moving, that the House melee' Welt into a Com-
mittee of Supply.
Lord FOLK ESTONE wisbedfirst to ask the Right Honours.*
Gentleman whether his motion related to the measure respecting
the Banks?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—CertaInIy not.
The question for going into a Committee was then pot. •
Mr. BARIEG asked whether the modals In the Committee
would have anything to do with the subject of the Banks ?
The CHANCEL LOX et the BICH EQUEB.--Nothlng on.,
earth to do with it.
.The House then went Into Connalttee, and three resolutions for
granting tains on account were agreed to. The Moose resumed,'
the resolutions were reported, and the Committee ordered to sit
again on Monday.
