AVAILABLE BALANCES.

The CHA'NCELLOR of the EXCIIF.QI7II Fre
notice of his intention on Monday, to mike the ba-
lance of the Consolidated Fund in the Exchequer,
available to the public service, which was at present
a source of profit to the Bank.
Mr. GRENFELL could not see why the Riet
Hon. Gentleman should confine his object to the ar
plication of this balance only ; he must remember that
he had, in this very Session, given the House and
himself (Mr. Grenfell) good reason to believe that he
would make the bal!nces in the Bank of England
available to the public service. There were, for in-
stance, the various deposits of the Commissioners on
Stamps, the Excise, and the Post.-office ; all of which.
he had understood the Right Hon. Gentleman to say.
would be made generally available. He tMr. Gren-
fell) could hardly permit himself to doubt, that tve
I Right Hon. Gentleman would not fulfil his promise
if such, however, was his intention, he must do what
he had trusted he should never be compelled• to
do again—he must, hotvever reluctant to re-agitate
that question, again bring the subject of the balances
in the hands of the Bank before that House, in order
to make them available, as he had so often comer,-
' ded they should be made, to the public service (hear.)
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
observed in reply, if the Honourable Member had
waited till Monday, when he should state his mica
more at large, he would have found that it was his
intention to move a Resolution, rendering available
'to the public service nearly six millions sterling;
leaving a sum of less than £2,000,000 unaccounted Nr.

Mr. WALLACE said, that if the Honourable Member in-

pose such a proposition.

times the amount of his half-pay.—So far this
well. Every person must desire to see the services
our warriors properly remunerated. But might
not be better rewarded by preventing vacancies
being filled by new Officers ? In this we might
worse than follow the example of France at the
moment. By this means many of these ye-
4ans might gradually be provided for in a way
much more congenial to their feelings and beneficial
the country ; and a considerable saving would
be gradually effected in the half-pay pension

We print it entire, to shew with what address we

seems, had merely exercised the same power exercised
by Dr. Franklin, in France, during our Revolution:
