EXCHEQUER. the Hoofs having refolvtd itfdf
into a Committee of the whole Hook. for the pur-
pare of confidering further of Ways and Means &w
railing the (applies to be granted to his Majelly. •
Mr. DENT took the opportunity of easing the
Right Hon. Gentleman. whether any mature was
propored to be taken relative to a fub he had for-
merly mentioned. the relief to be afforded to ban.
ken and perfuns receiving dividends, and who. as
the Income Tax Row Rood, were liable to penalties?
He alfa begged leave to enquire, at what period it
was to be confidered that the Loyalty Loan was re-
deemable t He knew that the opinion of the Astor-
ney-General had been taken on the &Nee. but the
opinion of others bad been alto coufulted. and Inwas
at a lots to know which was to be followed.

- -
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER.
replied, that, with refped to the firli point, he was
&tided the Houle would think it iacumbent upon
them to relieve the parties from the penalties to
which they were liable. A Bill might be brought in
before the reeds, or the Houle might interfere for
Raying procefs. With regard to the (mood point,
the Loyalty Loan, an application had been certainly
made for the purpof of afeertaining the ineßion.
and the opinions of the Attorney and SoliettorGe-
neral having been taken, they were communicated to
die Bank, where the Honourable Gentleman might
faddy hintfelf upon that head.
Mr. DENT (aid, if he underftood the Right Hon.
Gentleman tightly, he had prontifid a Chore Bill
thould be brought in bdoic the recef., for the relief
of the parties receiving dividends.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
declared it was the with of Government, and he was
confident of the Houle, to take the heft and calle!
meafures for their relief. No neglea or delay had
occurred on his part, and if he thought it would more
particularly faddy the parties, he felt pleafure in
raying, that a propofition to that effea fltould be
immediately fubmitted to the Houfe. He hoped,
however, the Hon. Gentleman would excufe him, if
he made the necefrary enquiries with refped to the
real fentimeuts of the perfons who were molt lute-
retied in the quellion.
Mr. PITT raid a few words in explanation of the
original tranfaktion of the Loyalty Loan, in which,
he raid, a (mall error had crept in, for which he con-
feied hiinfelf refponfible, as he was a principal party
to that tranfaetion, and in which the Ad of Paths.
ment was not fo favourable to the flibfcribers as the
refolution upon which they fubfcribed. He could not
however fee the neceffity, or ufefolnefs, of the opinion
of the Attorney-General, as it was a point in which
a quelion of good faith was involved.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER af-
lured the Houfe, that great pains had been taken by
Government to afeertain the true underdanding of
the parties in that tranfadion. After the opinion of
the Law Officers bad been taken, he fhould not cer-

tainly have gifted according to his duty. had he done
any thing contrary to that opinion. So far. indeed.
he was tied up. He had not retied there; be had
taken every pains to afcertain the fentiments of the
parties, but he had heard nothing that would have
jullified him in bringing it before the Houfe.
Mr. PITT was fir from entertaining an idea that
the advice of the Attorney Genet.' llwuld not be
Aced, but the faith which had been placed in the
refolutions of that Houfe fhnuld not be tendered dif
advantageous or prejudicial to fuch perfons as had
repofed that confidence in the Houfe.
Mr. VANSITTART, after having made every
inquiry, never underfiood that any very ferious com-
plaints were entertained.
The Houle then went into the Committee, Mr.
A ****** IR in the Chair.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
Paid, if Gentlemen would look to page 3 of the ac•
counts of the grants for the fervice of the year 1863.
they would ind that the giants for the naval fervice
of that year amounted to

L. 9431.371
The demands for the fervi,t of tint &put:neat
amountc4 to 8.174 711

The grants bad, therefore, exceeded the demand by 1.7 769611

This being the cafe, he fbould propole, as was tl.c
uftial cuiltim, to grant the furplus tuwards the Ways
and Means for railing the Supply to be granted to
hii Majelly for the prcfent year. if it were not fur a
circumstance in the s Ith page. This was. that 1.-
veral payments had been made for other fervices n( .t
belonging to the year 1803. amounting to 579,7,-6.
There demands all made by authority of Aets of
Parliament. had been fatisfied by the Admiralty.
out of the Ways and Means of the year. It was
ufual when the vote was infufficient for the fervice,
to move the Comftlittee of Supply to make good the
deficiency. There the grant was more than ft.fficient.
and the furplus would of cootie be carried to the
fervice of the year. The furplus was reduced by the
payments here advanced to 1,370,6691. It was
neceffary to apprife the Committee that the furplus of
t,766,c0d. was not to be confidered as a raving in
expenditure. It was not to be underflood. that the
expellee was fo much lets than the fum voted. There
•was an increafe of navy debt to the amount oi
931,3521. The amount being on the ill of Decem-
ber, I boa, 30e5,0481. On the Alt of December,
4,037,0001. This accumulation to the debt, was
wholly unavoidable. miring from Navy ailla t Iv-

F

fag pretested for parttent, and the arrears or pay due
to feamen on foreign Rations. In proportion to the
quantity of Naval Bills outfianding, and the number
of icemen on foreign Rations. the Navy Debt muff
always be increafed or diminiffied. All that was ne.
ceffary on the part of the Treafury, was to provide
the meant of fatisfying the demands when made, and
when the demands were not made, though the Tres-
fury Scold be full of money, the debt mutt 'cumin

As it was not necetfary, however, to keep the means
of fatisfying (itch an amount of debt, the greater part
of which may not be called for for feveral years, it
was his intention to move the Houle to have the
whole (um of 1,370,6691. applied to other Cervices,
dinniniffilog.pr mato, the Lean, or other Ways and
Moses for the prefent year. He moved accordingly.
that towards railing the Supply to be granted to his
Majeßy, there be voted 1,370,6441. 45. Bd. from the
(brags of the grants for the fervice of the year s 803.
Lord FOLKESTONE made a few obfervations
on the difpofition paper, from which he arued, that
there was not a faring, but a deficiency to the amount
Sated. As to the faring, he thought it would have
been more rational to have mentioned the particular
Items upon which the favings had actually taken
place ; and be thought the Right Honourable Gen-
tleman could have no objeftion to Rate in what de.
tof the naval fervice it had occurred. He
tretv7ir 'tithed to reconcile the ftatement refpetting
the pay of y 6,000 land forces with that of a Noble
Lord (Cafilereagh), which made the army in Eng.
land amount to 96,ece men. Poffibly the Army of
Referee was not included ; but if foe what fund were
they paid from ? There was alto a him of t. 500,0001.
to enable his Majefty to procure fa& Cervices as might
be sectary. but no account of their nature.
Mr. • VANSITTART obferved. that if the Noble
Lord had accußomed himfelf to the examination of
Smiler accounts, he would certainly have (pared him-
(elf the troible of quenioning Minifters on there
points. He would have found that the excefs of grants
bad been uniformly carried forward to the fervice of
the next year, though demands **ere left outfianding.
Every year a fpecific account was laid on the table,
stud would be done very loon for this year. being
only delayed on account of the difpofition of a Cum
of only soool. The objeß of the difpofition paper
es the table was, to Rate all the great heads of
Somme, and the films drawn from the Exchequer.—
The Honourable Member then explained the other
leaning difficulties of the Noble Lord, refpeiling the
various kinds of poblie expenditure.
Mr. VANSITTART again obferved, that the u-
tmost was made out pricitely is the ufual form and

manner.
Mr. JOHNSTONE requefled to know, is it ap-
peared that Co much lefs than the grants had been
expended, whether it was owing to the economy of
the Admiralty, or to a lefs number of Icemen being
employed, than were voted by Parliament
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
IfaW, that there was moll certainly a great facing in
expences, owing to the firm and economical conduit
of the Fir& Lord of the Admiralty; and in this
particular inflame, it was to be attributed partly to
megnomy, and partly to the deficiency of Icemen ;
the number of whom, however, was, notwithftanding
all difficulties in their way,only rtoo ffiort at prefent
of the number voted. There had been great and
unprecedented difficulties in the way °of procuring
Icemen. Had all of chore voted been railed imme-
diately, then probably there would have been little
facing. But he Rill confidered that Caving as a mat-
ter of great encouragement. There was no fort of
fallacy whatever in the accounts pretested. He
&new there was a difpofition to impute to him a will'
to conceal from the public the true slate of their af-
fairs, but his condo& Ihould never jollity any fuels
imputation. Had there not been economy, there
might now have been not livings, but arrears.
Mr. STURGES afked for an account of the items-

Mr. TIERNEY found no difficulty in accounting

nary was, that the eftirnates had been fo well drawn,
that no one branch of the fervice required aid from
another. In former edits that he had witneffed,
whatever was laved in one department had been ge•
nerally wanted by another. He was glad, however,
to tee the Noble Lord (Lord Falkellone), purfue that
line of inquiry, and it was detirable that people of his
rank tlrould pay attention to the expenditure of the
country.
Lord FOLKESTONE infifled that what was re.
prelinted as a faring WAS a mere fallacy.
Mr. VANSITTART Rated that the war taxes
aniolinted to above due: millions ; and, in anfwer
a verliain put by Mr. Fellow►, Rated that above
