40 PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. Sept. 1 4. 



Thefe papers were all ordered to lie on the table. 



Mr Grey faid there was a great variety of papers which th^ 

 Houfe would think it right to have before them previous to any 

 decifiion on the fubjcft. He fuppofed fuch papers were intended 

 to be produced. 



Mr Pitt replied, that he had prefented fuch papers as he had 

 in command from his Majefty. What other papers Gentlemen 

 might chufe to move for, he could not forefee ; but as far as he 

 could judge, all the papers were now on the table which were 

 neceffary for the difcuffion, or proper to be produced. 



Supply. 



The Hoiife refolved itfelf into a Committee ^»ft his jVIajefly'a 

 Spctch ; Mr Gilbert in the Chair. 



A fuppiy being voted to his Majefty, in the indefinite 

 manner which is cuftomary in opening the Committee of Sup- 

 ply, the Houfe re fumed, and, 'after ordering the Report to be 

 received to-morrow, adjourned. 



Mr Pitt gave notice, that he meant to bring forward the dif- 

 CLffion upon the merits of the Convention, on Monday, the day 

 preceding the call of the Houfci — and that on the expences of 

 the late armament on the Wednefday thereafter, — and hoped 

 that if any gentleman wiihed for the produdion of any other 

 papers, a motion of that nature would occupy their attention 

 fouie day before the great bulinefs of the Convention. 



Mr Grey faid, he intended to move for the produdlion of 

 other pa^)ers than had been already prefented, but waited till a 

 fuller Houfe for that pnrpofe. 



Mr Pitt faid he ihould ftrenuoufly oppofe any motion for the 

 produftion of other papers than thofe prefented by Govern- 

 ment. 



Friday, December 10. 



In a committee of fuppiy, Mr Gilbert in the Chair. 



The different papers and accounts of expences incurred ta 

 conftquence of the late armaments, being read. 



The Chancellor of the Excfjequer moved, " That it is the opi- 

 nion of this Committee, that a fum not exceeding Sixty-four 

 Thoufand Pounds, be granted to his Majefty, towards defray- 

 ing the charges incurred by the late Armament, as far as the 

 fame was made up at the War Office." 



G^r.eral Burgoyn: did not mean to oppofe the motion, being 

 All^fenlible that when expences were incurred for the public 

 fervice, they muft be paid ; but heftated his objedions to fome 

 part of the accounts, alle(^ging that the mode that had been 

 adopted of raifing new levies was uneconomical, and contending :^ 

 that :: cosfiderable faving would have been made, had the old''* 

 ccrp" been recruited inftead of railing new ones.
