The CHANCELLOR of the ECI-I;,^
I have not th•.! slightest (+l.N:tin:l to

Mr. 'I'IERNEY made some observa,ions,
we could not distinctly hear—we under:::ald
ask, whether it was usual fur the persons
an Address to his Majesty to be eatrtwed ‘,.cl
delivery of it to the King?
The SPEAKER said, that all AdAresses rr v
ordered to be presented by that flotie t,. itis t.l,j
were, according to usual custom, dii e.sted
to such Members of the House as beluirgj tti

Lord TEMPLE observed, that when t!le Ad.

the duchy of Lancaster, at the time the last Ad.,

MILITARY EiPENDI runr.

Sir THOMAS TURTON rose u, make hi,
mised motion, and thought it was right that the h•
should know how the stuns voted for the acme E
mates for the last year had been- expended, be!
more moray was voted. The Right Honourable
Chancellor of the Exchequer hid asked why
did not move for the removal of his Majesty's
sters ? He would tell that Gentleyta. , kli.tt if s
a motion were not soon made, lie s!...uid feel it
duty to bring forward some charges against
for they, among other things, were the cause tf
disasters in Spain. Not grown wise troth the cal,
-tons failures of their various expeditions, they t
still projecting more ; and he was always atiAll,w
he took up
in newspaper, to hear of more
being ire constinplot,ion. Till the account he silty
move for was produced, he should oppose the snot
for the Speaker to leave the Chair, to go into a Cot
mittee of Supply on the Army Estimates. hie nal
for an account of the Returns of the Expenditure
the Military. Service of the country, fic,:n• the
December, 1808, to the 25th Decemi er, leo.

Mr. LONG said the gnestion was, whether se(
motion was practicable or not ?.. It was impoq
that such.an account could be produced beti.re
Csnumittee took into consideration the Army 1

mates. An account of the expenditure of the cm
year could not be given before. the Mutiny 71Ct
pired, as the various accounts were not yet made u;
Sir T. TURTON knew that the accounts of e
regiment could not be obtained, but most of t
might ; and they might give them to the House
far as they could be made up. He would cow
to an alteration of the motion, and say " as far as •
accounts could be made up."
• Sir JOHN NEWPORT thought the system of
counting to the House extremely defective. '1
House would be able to form a more comet judga •
of what might be wanted for an onstl.mg yeAr,
having the accounts of the last year bet re them.
Mr. HUSKISSON said, the officers aad sold'
must be paid, whether they were in Walcheren or
Spain. The accounts could-not be produced in
short a time as was required,- because it was the •
traordioary expences, clothing, &c. that made the
fi culty.
Mr. PARNELL said, the substance of the am
was, the forms of office were so intricate, that the
counts could not be presented to the House at it
than two months after the meeting of Parliament,
before the supplies for another year were voted.
Mr. CALCRAFT thought the assertion of
Hon. Baronet on a former night, that, in March 1
there were 105,000 mea returned as effective m
wher, 16,000 could not be raised for foreign sere
ought to be explained.
Lord PALNIERSTONE said,. the. explana
was very easy. The meaning was, that there w:
not '16,000 men effective for foreign service at t.
period.
Mr. CALCR AFT slid, then there were 59,-,
non-effective men. . .
Sir T. TURTON. altered his motion, and mo
• for an account, so f,r as it could be obtained.
Strangers Isere then ordered to withdraw, who:.
division took place.—l6i the motion 35-43:
it 76—Majority 41.
-A new Writ was ordered to be made out for
election of a Member for Cambridgeshire, in
room of Mr. C. Yorke, he having accepted the T
lership 0.. the Exchequer..
Mr. WHARTON brought if
an account ofil
expenditure on the house in Downing-street, occupg
by the Pt esident of the Board olControul. Ord
to lie on the Table.
Mr. H. MARTIN gave notice tl.at he won,
move, on the first open day, fur leave to bring in
bill relative to the sums of.money lodged in the haa

of the Accountant•Gene:aL.
On the motion that Lord WelEngton's Pensi

Bill be read a second time,
Mr. WHITBREAD said, he muse again exp
his disapprobation to the Dill then about to be read,
second time, though .he might have already detaial
the House t..)0 long in expressing his opinions ofa
eypeditiuns to Spain. He regretted much, that
Petition presented to that House from the Cityd
London, by the Sheriffs, &c. that day had not
more' impression on the House than it seemed to
made; fur it contained Matter of too much impack
to allow .it to pass unnoticed. He objected,o thel
