SUPPLY.
On the motiost of Lord CASTLEREAGH} that part
of the Lords Comnaissioners' Speech, wnich states
the Prince Regent to have ordei ed th.l V.,timates cur
the ensuing year to be laid before tie twn Houses.
was read. his Lordship moved that it 4140u1d
referred to a ComMittce of Supply.
Mr. '.L'It.,RNEY hOped he had und:.rstood the
Chancellor of the Exchequer right on a fu: sae: even-
ing, when he collected from what tell :rorn that
Right Honourable Lent:eman, that an airple
ment of the situation of the country would be m.one
before the House was called upon to vote any
Supplies.
Lord CASTLEREAGfi said; it was usual at
the commencement of a Session, to vole is general
terms that a Supply should to granted to hi. Nja.
jesty, before any such statement could b.: made. 'ft
WAS the wish of Government, benre a:ly great Sup-
ply was called for, to hey b lore the 1-I,Alse the pro-
mised Estimates, 4nd especially those of the Army,
winds would bi; accumpetnied t,y a a clriainazoly

Mr. i'IERNEY: had expected that an eaplanatnry
statement would be given with the Army .44i:states.
.1-1, however, was of opiniaa that the‘detads of every
i:ew ought to.be 'given bctor2 any supply was a.,
mended. Chanceliorpt the Ex.,zliviiiier had last
year. said, the expense of the peace establishment
would be 419,0(X),000, Before a vote was come to,
either for the army or the navy, 1.0 ( Mr. Tierney)
hoped would be tinted what was to be the amount
of the new peace establishment.
Lord CASTLEREAGH said, Government had
the same object in view as the Right 'Honourable
Gentleman, And were not less anxious to ascert tin
what wotild .be the /east necessary expense of the
peace establishment. The difference in the expen.
diture attendant .on the present peace establishment
from that of former peace establishments, arose prin.
cipalrY from the disparity between our military torte
now and at former periods. There was not so great
a difference between our present and our former
navy : and though there was some fluctuation to be
observed in the miscellaneous services, this would
not operate any great change in the peace establish,
tient. Before any large supplies were moved for,
sufficient iuforrnation would be given on these points,
to enable both the Ministers end the !tight Hon,
Gentleman (Mr. Tierney) to argue nu ttle guestion
of the general expenditure cf the country.
The Motion was agreed to, and it was ordered
that the House should to-Morrow resolve itself into
of Supply,
*AV V. MOVUICIVIN
Lord CASTLEItEAGH, in pursuance of a no.
tics which he had -given on a former day, Was now
desirous of calling the atter.tiim of the flor.ac to the
services of the Navy, by submitting to them a pre-
position which he trusted would meet with their gas-
neral concurrence. At the close of such a war us
this country had just terminated, it was -.n.aittral that
some measure on the pars of the House to. mark
their sense of the services performed by the Army
and Navy, should be felt necessary to satisfy their
own feeliogs aad those of the country. Such a tes-
' tiMeny.ot national gratitude must be thouec dda to
those great trituriplis which had been achieved in the
course of a long war. and was, .he thought, imperi-
°tidy demanded from their justice; though, ;It the
various periods when the tidings of our successeshad
been received, the grateful intelligence—gratefpl,
though often tinged w 4 painful considerations, that
reward had been immediately giion Which the exul-
tation of che moment suggested, and which must be
most valuable to thom who were the objects of it,
as conveying to them the feelings of their country-
en in the Thanks oi Parliament.• If, besisiethia.
