attention of the huuse on this occasion to
the subject of a naval asylum: it surprised
Tiim that the lion Harr, hail in ids no allu
sion to that subject. The whole number nf
men retained for manning our fleets was
20,000, in whom 6000 were marines. Thu-
we nud an army of 100,0O0, wit, a navv ol
'14,000, which Was, indeed, a new principl
of national policy. Sir M. W. Ri I'.w said,
ft was quite clear to him th.it a reduction
of the number of the lonl* ,,t tl;; admiral
ty ought to be made, and that one secreta
ry might now be able to discharge tue du
ties of that office. Tne lung absence o!
the hon. gent, opposite ; .Mr. Croker) pro

amendment that the proposed gi ant »aould
fceSUU.OQOi less, namely. 2, 5 .o3,313/ 12-6.1.
After a short debate the fiatise divided «n
the nuitioo, ayes 164, noes 97—majority
against the Amendment 67.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer said
that he bad six distinct-grunts to propose
to the consideration of tne house —The
first was 8, 595.600. ti piy oft'the Kiilie-
quer bills, charged on the supplies ol 1813.
Mr. Grenfell would ooserve on the pre
sent occasion, what would have been the
effect of the sinking fund, as applicable to
the last tour loans which bail been con
tracted. It would have saved to the pub
lic six millions, which would have produc
ed aft annuity of 253.000/, an addition to
the revenue, more than equal to the abom
inable lo’tery tax. He stated, that it had
been currently reportedin the city that the
chancellor of the exchequer had commu
nicated to the loan-brokers early, the sum
lie intended to raise for the set Vices ol the
year. lfhe had made such communica
tion, fie had given a most improper advan
tage to *uch contcai t.<rs.
i’l.e Chancellor of the Exchequer—
Would not stye* present whether She hon.

whi « h th* perish* whom be

he would acknowledge that he could not
help mating some communications as to
the sum he might require.
Mr. Grenfell said, that if the right hnn-
gentlemau suffered himself to be influenc
ed by the loan-contractors, he would not
tie discharging his duty to hi* country io
the manner wtiiich that country had a right
to expect that lie should.
The grant was then pa-f ed.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer then
moved a grant of 3,000,0001 to pay Ex
chequer bills in the hand* ol the litnk—
I.576.3S3/ 6s. 8d were g anted to pay off
the interest of the unfihided debt, in Ex
chequer atal Irish treasury bills.
In the course of the discussion, Mr.
Grenfell observed, that when the bank
bought *i!ver bullion ami sent it to the
Mint to be coined, they received in return
lor it what were called Mint-note*; these
carried intere-t at a rate very injurious 11
the public, from the day the silver was de
livered at the Mint to the day it was re
turned coined—4,300.000/ were thengran-
U-d to pay off the Exchequer bill* charged
•in certain aids.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer said
he should offer certain ' evolution* in a com
mittee of thu wholo house, the next day,
the further discussion of which might be
adjourned to Monday; they would not in
clude the budget, (le should also move
the next day, fora Committee on the se
cond taxes, with a view to consider the

year, the income was calculated at 34,000,

which would make a surplus of nearly of
12,000,000. He asked whether, upon a
.linking fund of two millions, they could
satisfy the public creditor. It war, he con
tended, quite impossible to afford any re-
I’effiom oar present burdens, While our
expenditures exceeded filty millions. The
nominal sinking fund was to be reducid
/I3,.000,000; that sum being proposed to be
applied to the service nf the present year,
instead of a loan of the same amount. The
mode of raising the additional S.000,000
would be discussed in detail, when the re
port of the committee of ways and means

it was necessary to have a surplus remedy

T.lie Chancellor of the exchequer last
night.brought forward his budget lor the
year. The gross amou nt of the supplies
voted, and to be v- t-d.l'oi tnegiresent year,
is 20,477,000/; to meet those supplies, par
liament had hitherto provided only
7,074 000/, leaving an excess of expendi
ture beyond the revenue, of about 13.500,-
000/. If tins excess had been ail tint we
were call il upon to supply, the sum r.p-
norpriato.d from the sinking fund ivou'id
fiave precisely accomptislieil ii; but, the
measure, lately adopted, ot r-turning to
cash payments, r-quires that 5.000,00'.)!. of
the debt due to the bank should be repaid
this year, and 5,600,000/. of unfintided
debt, be reduced. To m-et this adl'itinn*
al charge, the loin of 12 million* has
been negotiated upon terms which w«
partly i onwnunicated yesterday, and of
which a m >re iietail“il account will be
finnil in this.day’* paper*. It was stated
bv trio Chancellor of the exchequer, that in
order to aff ot the funds as little as po>si-
-ble, h.* intended tu divide the twelve mil-
lions tu be takrti from tli" sinking fund, in
to 12 monthly payments, during which the
stock vvnu.d remain in the name of the
commissioners. In the January and July
quarters,however, only 900,000/. would be
called for month : y (instead nf one million)
and in the April and Oct. quarter-,
1,100.000/. This scale ol appropriation
would still lraveabout SlO.OOO/.perinonth
applicable to the reduction of the uationui
d fct. In the ensuing year it is calculat
ed that a loan of only four millions will be
r quired to complete the remaining pay-
m-ntstothe bank, supposing parliament
should again Sanction the application of lj
millions from tie sinking fund. Afu
next year, no m ire loans will be nec
carv during the continuance of peace.
