tee, they would not wonder that 
a loan, in its amount beyond all 
example, should becalled for : and. 
he trusted that it would not be 
thought too great, when it was 
remembered that it was intended 
to meet not only the charges ofa 
new war, in which we were en- 
gaged, but also to extinguish the 
atrears of an old one. Though 
he regretted the necessity for it, 
still he could not but derive some 
consolation from the reflection, 
that the manner in which it had 
been raised would prove to the 
world how large were our re- 
sources, and how prosperous the 
state of the country. Undoubted- 
ly it was satisfactory to him, that 
great as the sums called for were, 
and extensive as were the charges 
which the country had to bear, 
he had no reason to comment in 
detail upon the different articles 
which caused this expenditure, as 
they had already undergone the 
consideration, and for the most 
part received the sanction, of par- 
liament. He had only to recapi- 
tulate the supplies which had been 
granted; and what werethe means 
by whichit was proposed that they 
should be met. There might be 
some further expenses to be pro- 
vided for, which in the course of 
his statement he would take an 
opportunity to point out. The 
total amount of the charge for the 
service of the navy for the present 
year was 14,897,000/., and for 
transports 3,747,000/. making to- 
gether the sum of 18,644,000/. 
Here, however, it was to be ob- 
served, two millions were includ- 
ed for the repayment of the navy 
debt, and which therefore formed 
no part of the service of the curs 
rent year. The gifferent expen-

ses onaccount of thearmy amount- 
ed to 13,876,0002. The arrears 
of the extraordinaries unprovided 
for, were 11,983,000. For the 
extraordinaries of the current 
year, including Ireland, a sum of 
no less than 12,000,000/. had 
been voted. The charge for the 
barrack service was 99,0001, 
which had not yet been voted, but 
which would be proposed in the 
committee of supply the same 
evening. This sum would ap- 
pear uncommonly small; but he 
would shortly assign the reasons 
which might be expected to ren- 
der it sufficient, and any further 
circumstances, requiring notice, 
would be fully explained by his 
right hon. friend in proposing the 
vote. The total amount of the 
sums called for on account of the 
barrack service, was 250,000/. 
The difference between the sum 
last mentioned and the 99,000/. 
proposed to be voted, was occa- 
sioned by a saving arising from 
the sale of the old stores, and of 
barracks no longer necessary for 
the publicservice. The commissa- 
riat caused acharge of 1,100,0004.; 
the storekeeper-general one of 
91,600/.; giving a total on ac- 
count of the military service of 
39,150,0002. For the ordnance 
service, the supply was4.,431,000/. 
For the expense of subsidies this 
year to the allies, the House had 
voted 5,000,000/. They had also 
voted 1,650,000/. for the re-pay- 
ment of the bills of credit created 
under act of 1813; but there re- 
mained other expenses to be pro- 
vided for, arising out of the defi- ~ 
ciency of the force whicl: we were 
bound to maintain on the conti- 
nent by the additional treaty of 
Chaumont, and out of some other
