But tor.this Act, there-could be no doubt %hal one of these offices would have . been bestowed up. • Mr. Canning, which would have enabled him to sustain • the expenditur_inseparable from ; his ; statioo. without oar serious itiroad upon the fortunes qf his family., Hf aught Amber sat a ,that when Mr. Canning died he pos sessed in a very high degree ,the, favour, confidence, *Od esteem of bis. Majesty,, idle would no doubt have • continued to his.son any valuable sinecure of which Aft • might have been is possession at the time,of,his death, This his Majesty would have done, in order to assuage, eo.far as Nakao expression of Royal favour and esteem . tOtild ussuage the grief of the family upon the mien .efts:4y occasion.' He might further stare, in order. to loclute the Lordships to agree keely and cordially in this measure s that it would entail no additional expense upon the country, as the total amount of the Pension , List at present fired vas not to be execeded. kwat apon these p,rounds,that he, entreated their Lordships to:agree to the second reading of this Bill. ~ I.or4.I)ACRE acknowledged the „wit. 'of „*. Canning, 40 t wa r s ,with, the .gteatest.reluctance that he disvrated from the prolent Bill. „He Auld not, Aewevex. forget. notwithstendiog his admiration of Ole ,t etents,dr that tvitrirsier. tlidit be torsi sl•q-usbous wall she_wJqJe of his life, been, one of the most powerful,' • ecti re, and demi mined enemies of public, freedom. Thug reasons suggested by the Noble Duke in favour of the till was, that the Act which it was intended to invade was an Act to restrain the 11.-.yal prerogative; and that; but for this Act the fatndy of Mr. Canuipg would never 'be in the possession of a aioectite, place or a pension, arfp.as it appeared to . him, On strongest possible #t,gun went against the measure. ;; Xhe , Act was for the pur l - pose, of preventing reversionary grants, and limited their ..number Oa in the course of twelve years... This tiA mould be a precedent under which any Minister in facie _might be thought a fit object of similar favour. Theid ,Lordships most.perceive that by this Bill .they either aqgmented thepewer of the Crown, or ,deprived the next person who should be entitled to this reward of valuable services, of his fair recompense. The Noble Duke said, that no positive increase to the Pension Lisi would seise from the-measure; but if this were so, it was clear that in bestowing a pension for a young We i l and upon a person who bad performed no services, they Materiellyampahird the. fond for the reward of actual services.. Haying stated this, he was warranted le, the cpeclu,siun thatthe Bill was highly objectionable in prin ciple, that it afforded a Most dangerous precedent, and eras glumly subversive of the whole principle &adds% sign of the Bill it professed, to amend, The preaMble Otis Bill stated, that" whereas Mr,(aaoing had heves defiled any benefit from his pensiore." Certainly this wavteue, but why was it so? Simply because Mr. Can, sing had always held some lucrative office .and this s t easkon was intended as a retired allowance . There !was, nuitther consideration of great 'importance connecte d with the measore. His Majeaty's Miniaters had thought *roper - to elevate one of the family to the Peerage, and this grant might have been more justifiable if it had been Intended to maintain the dignity of the. Peerage ; but , this did not appear to be the intention, and he owned the Bill in this respect surprised him very much, .for,the grant was made to trustees for the benefit of the .7. o .4Pger Soos-44 . ,Mr. Goosing,. not the soccessor.to the Peerage.. He had heard reports et to what was intended in the application of this grant,"bnt such reports did not form aqy ,Parliamentary ground of proceeding. Upon :thilkground be objected to. the Bill,, as well as because .it was in principle an evasion .of the Act of- '7th of -Goo. 111. which bad been extorted from Gorkromeat • by.the advocates of economical seform Awoold Isaac 'hien much better if the Noble Duke had come down ,pitka Message from the Crown,recomuseeding a direct ' grant, on the ground of great public services, and with view to,maiotain the dignity of the peerage his hla. .1441441 beers advised to bestow; instead of applying .10 LP pension from the fend destined to reward m- • rious servants of the State. Something in this way might have been granted worthy of the country to be itow, and of the family of Mr. Canning to receive. A, ,T he Marquis of LONDONDERRY felt some diffi -salty is expressing. his sentiments upon the present oc casion. He was not actuated by any feelings of political Jiostility or rancour in the observations he 'bought it his duty to make, although such feelings would pro- Isobly be imputed to him by his enemies. His friends .-.allestso really knew him, would kifow bit to be in capable of entertaining any such feelings. Nobfiember of fhatrkfouse bad taken so decided a part as himself in opposition to the Administration of the Right Hon. Gentleman:. ,Heupposed the system upon which that Administration was formed. He opposed the absurd idea that it was the Right Honourable Gentleataq who, - had called the New World into existence. • * He opposed thefolly of that mischievous treaty, which had alreafk led in the passage of she Pruth, find probably alto of the Danube, by the armies of Russia—evehts which, be st aeasel? believed, would not have occurred but for this tikaty. With these sentiments, if the Bill had became proposing a reward for the panic services of Mi. Can• sung, he must have felt it his duty - to oppose it. And from the manner in which this iraiote was supported in the other House of Parliament fiy . aotne of the col 7 leagues of the Right Hon. Gentleman, he was bensivethat he should have been compelled to ,p a spose it. But at the Noble Dpke had reitedthe mesfore cx elqsiyely upon the ground of the inactiOacy of the al lowances made to' persons filling high, pohtical etices is the-State and upon the lois ustaliferf hi:the Hon. G ent l;npari in relinquishing:o,H Deka:wept, ql India, he was' happy to find himself" 4,,libetty to captor in the proposition.

Friend. With :aspect to the motion of the Noble Duke, he was sure their Lordships would not oppose the grant. These was, be believed, a certain, sum'allowed.to the Crow n for granting pensions to that amount, and his Majesty had the power of conferring _ pensions on whom be thought fit, until that sum was exhausted. He was not acquainted. with the precise amount. it might be about 40,0001. a year; and when, dig - was exhausted, no further pensions could be granted. This was sufficient to prove, that- by the adoption of the proposed measure, no expense would be. incurred by the ilaAcliiit Iv* ,however, Ponecettaty for him to argue %law. *lc point, o(her_the very able manner in which his Noble Friend the Duke of Wel.' Moron bod performed the task. With respect to the manner in which the proposed grant should be made— iouking on it in every trivial point of view.—be thought it notweessarY :to, enter into any argument with. the Noble Baron, who objected to that part of the proposi ,... tr. If it were done, he would be satisfied—he sonar, ,pied it as an act of justice rather than of generosity— .and he was:ocu, therefore, disposed.to point oat the precise. mode- in which he would- wish it to be done. Had the question been that of erecting a monument to the_ memory of ; Ans, illiskrious Friend,. then those who ellfroed irons him. in politicat.opinions mien reason ably have interfered, and could have objected to the giant. That Mr. Canning was a man of the most dis. tinguishad talents, of , unquestionable character, and of, almost unequalled zeal, in the service of this country, to which. he had devoted so great a number of years,• no person would attempt to deny. He had ,applied those great qualities to the promotion of a course of Policy► wbicb had seised the approbation of Yalta. meat. Whether or not . that system of policy was a wrong one, it was now too late to discuss.- He trusted, theretore, that their Lordships would, by giving their' full concurrence to the measure, show that they, valusd 7 the services of the, distinguish ed Bussouners; and ad mired those talents which he had devoted to the sole 1 purpose of advancing the interests and promotiug the .. prosperity of his country.(Cheers)., The Marquis of LONDONDERRY sirish4 ;O : saiy a few words i* explaninioor LS, Was , never his ustealion, as behad.stated, to oppose-the Bill.t . he had only.said,, that be wig* not support it on the grounds of moots arising from Mr. Cannisigta.political dicer., • His oh!

He ,would not trespass upon ;heir Lordships time; by an enumeration of. all the examples he might cite' He cited them nut either in censure or in praise, bu merely as a comparison, and to show that no bla attached to Mr. Canning far haying invaded II; pain-. mono of his family. Aa opportunity did Offer to repair the fortunes of his family, and to Mr. Canning it prO tented peculiar temptations. He had derived his tor. tune in a manner which naturally made a man of an honourable and delicate mind ,peculially anxious. to re• place it at least in its original state, and to repair any -dilapidation it might hare suffered. India held out other inducements also to a man like• Mr. Canning. It afforded him the possession of a high itation and at great power. But at that moment he was called upon to fill the office of Secretary of State for Fmeign Affairs. He had at that morneot to choose betareera t. orivate arid, public duty. On consideration, public ditty decidedly preponderated in his high. and honourable =Md. It' had happened not rarely that when public men !ere Called upon to make sacrifices .ot their privaiciaterest . tolittslic duty, they called for some provhieu to ,egiro... pensate them for those sacrifices. This Mr. Canal , . did not do. The.* were cases io which the public ought to do what the delicacy of individuals .prescrsbed theirs; from clemandieg. The family of ,Mr. Canning made no demand, but their claim was. not on this account . ' the less. . Maw. did the gracious Sovereign and Master whom Mr. Canning served ~feel upon this occasion? The Noble Duke had informed them. The pension w.Sa granted to Mr. Canning ; hui it was not in the power of the Crown to extend it beyond the life of , his Right Hon. Friend. He could nut forbear sayiiig, ;bat Parliament owed it to their rya honour — they awed it to t h e country—.to concur so this -vote, and to' pay.the debt due by the nation. By this grant, though inadequate, the debt would in part be paid.—He should here close, but for whin had fallen from the Noble , Marquis. The Noble Marquis had found fault with every part of the public policy of Mr. Canning. The greatest difficuky in answering him arose kom.the ge lorerality of w h at. he bad said.. If be were then toaster into the.argument of the Greek Treaty. be sheuld tres pass too much upon their Lordships' time. He mutt,' therefore. content himself with saying. briefiy.that he differed upoo.the subject with the Noble Margolis.— . With respect to the personal question which the Noble Marquis had been so indiscreet as to agitate, he would not do so much injustice to the memory of his 'Right Hon. Friend, as to weaken, by any observation of his, the impression which had been made by the elsqu.ent and, powerful speech of his. Noble Friend.
