§ The House having resolved itself into a committee of Supply to which the Navy Estimates were referred,
460§ Sir George Warrenderproceeded to observe, that it was not intended to make any material difference between the vote of the last and the estimates of it was not intended to make any material difference between the vote of the last and the estimates of the present year. He believed the propriety of the addition which had been made to the marines was not likely to be called in question. On this occasion, he should only move for a vote, of the sum of 500,000l. on account. As the estimates had only been laid on the table that day, the present would be an infavourable opportunity of going into any consideration of them. He should content himself, therefore, with moving certain resolutions as to the genera; heads of them, and with proposing a vote of 500,000l. on account. The hon. baronet then moved, I. "That 23,000 men be employed for the sea service, for thirteen lunar months, from the 1st of Jan. 1820, including 8,000 royal marines. 2. That 650,325l. be granted to his majesty, for wages of the said 23,000 men, for thirteen lunar months, at the rate of 2l. 3s. 6d. per man per month. 3. That 612,950l. be granted for victuals for the said 23,000 men, for thirteen lunar months, at the rate of 2l. 1s. per man per month. 4. That 612,950l. be granted for the wear and; tear bf the ships in which the said 23,000 men are to serve, for thirteen lunar mouths, at the rate of 2l. 1s. per man per month. 5. That 104,650l. be granted for ordnance for sea service on board the ships in which the said 23,000 men are to serve for thirteen lunar months, at the rate of 7s. per man per month. 6.
