mistily limit his observations. If the speeches of
Heattereble Gentlemen on the other side, of the
Fable Secretary at War and Comptroller of the
Navy, were admitted, the House would believe that
the expeoces of every department, civil and mili-
tary, were no greeter to the country than they had
been in 1793. They had objected to ons or two of.
the statements of the Bon. Baronet "ear Wm (Ste IL '
Parnell) as incorrect, bet had emitted to state tits
total amount of the establishments either of the Army
or Navy. They had not denied that I heCitil Last yaps.

They had omitted to compare the military 'spend'.
tare of 1792, of 2,241,41111. (vie. 1,819,4601. fe
the Army, and 422,0001. for the Ordnance), wit's'
t!.e ',pence of the lan or present year. *lly Ms
Faience Report the Estimate for 1819 was'
18,900,0001. for the Army, and 1,191,0001. for that
°idiotic', both together amaenting to the enormous
sent of 9,991,0001. Wes not this suasive In Um
fifth year of peace, and yet his-Majesty's Ministers
talked of their enremitting eaertious to reduce, by
every possible means, the !lindens of the People.—
The Hoe. the Comptroller of the Navy had Informed
the Mese, that some 'spellers had been transferred
from one department to another, and therefore the
comparison of the Hoe. Bement (Kit H. Penton) was
delusive and Incorrect; bet he had not adverted Is
this simple fact, that the money voted for the Navy
of Great Raisin, in 1792,... 1,985,480. whilst tits
estimate for the current year was 6,8a6,7811.—and
it was worthy of attention, that in both years the
number of efficient seamen were nearly the same.
The great in had been is the additional este.
hlishments and increased pay allowed in lima of
great esertion, bet which were contieeed, shun*
unaltered, to the present moment, under tech widely
different circumstances of the country. In the same
manner, all the .mllitery establishments were con.
tinned unnecessarily large. The Horse Guards, in
1792, were 695, new they are 1,305, as he pay
end clothing of each man cost 701. yearly !In width
must Le added half as much more for each horse!
The Foot Guards were 3,311 in 1792, at present
6,508. The slyly of the Comma tler.in• Citief's Ace
was then performed at an repents of I or 2,0001.
new the Staff pay alone amounted to 14.8101. The
Adjetant.Geeeral and Qearter.slaster•General's .f.
Ices together cost almost as much mere. Bet he bad
selected lb. Storekeeper• General's Department at
present, as an 'simple of estrevagance and waste hi.
thane unequalled, though that Department was et.
clones'', under the direction of the Treasury. He
should beat @splint the nature of this establishaeat
by informing the House that it wes Ant Wien in
1787, by Mr. John Troller, of Serho.square,who pro.
posed that the stores chic d bean supplied to re.
eiments, instead of being ar es before, when the
setsic• for which they were furnished cescluded., • .
should be received into a store end kept until aria
requited. Hi, plan was adopted, and continued ise. '.
der him ep to 1807, with greet advantage to the
Public, as appeara by the Eighth Report of Military
Enquiry. Ile (Mr. Ileme) had referred to every
thing published respecting this DepeAllheitt, and of.
hind the Resolutions to the Haase as correctly drawn
from official documents, and called their attention to
the eatratudinery increase wil:h sad taken place
since that period is the espeocan of this Ace. By
the first Resolution, it appeared, that Mr. JP. Trotter
lieti'maimed the Doperlment for lb year., 13 of
