He had next to state to the 

 committee, 



• The number of seamen that had been voted for this year, 1809, was the same 

 as that for the last, 1808, viz. 130,000 including 31,400 royal marines. The esti- 

 mates, too, for the numberof seamenand marines were precisely the same in amount 

 with those of Rist year, though it had been thought desirable to make some altera- 

 tions in the comparative amount of some of tlie branches. The allowance for 

 wear and tear of ships, was last year taken at three pounds per man, whilst the 

 provision for victuals was estimated at XL 19^. per man per month. The latter 

 estimate had been found to fall greatly short of the actual expenditure, whilst the 

 wear and tear fell considerably above the actual expenditure : a guinea, therefore, 

 had been taken from the allowance for wear, and added to the allowance for 

 victuals. The army estimates, too, as stated by the secretary at war, were nearly 

 the same as those of last year, with the exception of 200,000 arisingfrom the actual 

 increase of the establishment, which would be ascertained by comparing the esti- 

 mates now offered with the last year's account.
