~~- - expense, therefore. ought not to be brought as a ground of , accusation against his Honourable Friend (Mr. Herries.) It might it undoubtedly was, fit that an inquiry should tuted with respect to this money; but he that as a similar inquiry was going on in a .tee of ti.e House, the investigation of the matter be left to that Committee, and ought not to subject of debate. The question, he conceived, ight forward most irregularly. His Hon. Friend introduced the motion had, with his usual talent for detail, ransacted every source of information be could find, and brought everything both from the records of the House and elsewhere that could in any way assist' his views, or be analogous to the case which he supposed he had made out. With respect to the case if Mr. Seyniour. it was not at all in point. Parliament, in that instance, had granted a certain sum rf money for the use of the navy, and it was ultimately applied to another de partment of the State. Then came the case in 1611, which was equally foreign to the present inquiry.- -But even if it were otherwise, these sums were all voted by Parliament, while the fund, which was stow the subje.t of debate, was not created by Par liament, nor had it ever been in his ,Majesty's Es chequer. It arose, he contended, out of one of those casual funds of the same nature as droits which were Created from time to time, and over which the House bedew direct controul. If it had not been for the Act if the late King assuming that all the claims upon this ground were satisfied, the surplus would be precisely' of the same character 6s droits ;Auld had the Clown applied the fund in question as droits, Ministers would iqt now be accountable for it. He repeated, ths if the Act of the 59th of the late King bad not passed at all, every objection, both legal and constitutional, and also every clads upon the fund, would have been satisfied. All that *odd be necessary would be, for the Minis. tees of the Crown to lay upon the table of the House an account of the manner in which the fund bad been applied. He contended that there had been no misap• ropriation of money in the present instance, and he would willingly try the question on its merits, and let it be judged either by politicians or lawyers, or by that Which would be found as good a criterion as either, he would let the question be tried by the common sense of the public, whether this sum was not in the light of droits? He contended that the Act of the 59th el the late King gave no direction for laying a state. alma before Parliament of the manner in which funds which were raised and applied in the manner of this fund, had been appropriated. The Act merely said, 4i that in case all such claims were paid er liquidated, then the surplus of such sum or sums should be paid by the said Committee to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests? He cuuld not but express a wish that the Act had added,. sg That there shall be laid before Parliament an account of the appropriation of such sum sir sums of money."—(Hear ' hear, from the Opposi _ .4con.) As the case stood, however, he had this to my, that no departure bad been made from the strict letter of the law--(Cheers, from the Ministerial benches.) WM respect to another objection, that the to hire of this mosey bad not been applied to the &pose for which it was originally intended, had the omission in the Act of Parliament not occurred, ipo objection of this nature could have been taken. At **beginning of what was termed theseven years' war, orders were given to the King's ships that all French esaiels.shotsid be seized and brought into British ports as prisoners of war. Accordingly. the order being fele Stied* all those vessels were sold, and the profics.applied to the Crown. Now what was done with this money? -Why, it was lent every year to one or other of the sera' /Aces conoected with the State, and it was again repel* by them. At-the end of the was what became of chid illostei? It happened that France, owing to her peculiar', situation with reference to this country, called upon us to repay it, lied we did sq. This, he conceived, was a case perfectly anatozoos, yt t, tf he was to rely aa the statements made to-night, Honour able Gen. detnen would make the House believe that the fund which was the subject rf the presort debate ivita still liable to any claims that might be made aro h. He coextended that it could not now be applied trio bey public purpose. The whole sum and substance et the matter resolved itself into this—that the money kg question was a loan, and as such it was impossible that it could be accounted for as if it were a grant of Parliament.it appeared, that in 1825 the House granted the application of an unlimited sum of money for the repairs, Erections. and improvements at Buckingham Souse. Those repairs and improvements, it appeared, went on more rapidly than it was at first expected, and More being a fund dormant, which was perfectly within the power of the Crown to appropriate, his Ma. je-ay's Ministers, seeing that the Parliamentary grant was insufficient, thought it fit and expedient to apply to this dormant fund by way of a loan, for the purpose of carrying on the buiding. This was the simple state ment of the case, and he begged the House to bear in mind that this fund was not originally voted by Par lionsent, tut was solely ender the controul and at the disposal of the Crown, and until its final disposal the Crown might lend it. But thug were other cases as much in point, and of more modern date than that which had occurred at c , mmencement of the seven years war • Every Gentleman was aware of the erection of the new mews at Pimlico for his Majesty's stabling. Now, the fund by means of which that building was erected arose from a loan from the droits. He could .t te *thee instances equally applicable, but that he consider ed it unnecessary to do so. Taking this view of the question, he was led to believe that his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Herries) had, through inadvertence, put a ;negative upon the first resolution proposed by the Hon. teneeman opposite. He (Mr. Huskisson) would not directly oppose that first motion, but uron the second motion be was prepared with his Right Hon. Friend to wotein the wegative; and with respect to the first vote, he should vote for the previous questiOn. With respect to the lending of the money, he could only say, that when the distreised weavers ref Spitalfields applied for as advance of 50,0001. 15,0001. were actually lent to them. He remembered very well. that although he f'ek for their distressed titnation, he thought that this torts was an improper appropriation of the public money. The difference was this—that in sue vase the Moose recognised the necessity of the weavers, and in the other the Ministers complied with the necessities of she Monarch. Upon these grounds, and for the reasons fie had stated, he should feel so difficulty in giving his Vr te upon the present motion. He did not think that 400,0416/. was too exorbitant a sum for the erection of a Palace suited to the Miwareh of this country. The SPEAKER, put the 5 • Resolution. Sir. HERR' ES said, that it was not his Inteoltion, to oppose It. Mr. STANLEY said, that not withstanding the ingenious *pr.' psi *dim of his -Right Bon. Friend (Mr. Huskisson), hi. did set feet be ilhoisid do his duty if be did not fully express kis feelings ppm what be was/ tad to be a meet shuffling, disingenuous, and modechswil trameadina.

And considering the subject in that view, b,. could not concur in the nriliOn of the Hun. Gentleman who had brought it forward. He felt pelectly satisfied that Lord Liverpool, Mr: Canning, and Lord Guderich never dreamt that they were acting illegally, or unconstitutionally, or in the slightest manner improperly—or that the time might arrive when, not being able themselves to eive any ex planation of their motives, their condoct would he brought before Parliament as rolling for its marked censuie—(Cheerst, Putting the plain and palpable construction upon the Act of Parliament, he was pie pared to contend that it censure was to light any where, it was not upon the Minister, but upon the House itself , —(Hear). The question was, whether the Tree.' sury had the power to make the loan, and if it had that power, had it. exercised it so improperly as to call for the marked displeasure of that House? He wished every Honourable Member who entertained any doubt would, before giving a vote, read the debates of 1816. In consequence of the war we became possessed of. three funds. One of 700,0001. which was acquired without Treaty; the second, a very large one, which was .ac spited by Treaty as an indemnification for our,expenoes;. and the third. which was acquired by Treaty, and to be devoted to the payment of claims which indivi duals possessed against France. The first fund was ap plied to the payment ot She army in France,. without any sanction from Parliament. The question wardis euved, and the right of the Crown was not denied by any from.' Resolution of that House. Of the second fund, the Crown, with the tacit acquiescence of that House, appropriated 1,000,000/. as a reward t t the army. The appropriation of part of the thirdfand was the subject of the present debate. Then, with those tacts before him, how could he vote for the Resolution of the Honourable Member? The whole subject had before been brought before the House by the Right Honour able Member for Knaresborough (Mr. Tierney)).— That Right Honourable Gentleman had proposed a series of Resolutions, upon which the• previous tines ' don was moved and carried without a division. That fact Lord Liverpool and Mr. Canning had before them, and was it lair for the House of Commons now to turn round and brand them ? To show the true con struction of the act, he referred to the speech of the Right Hon. Mt.rnber for Knot esborough, and quoted an Act of Parliament alluding to a fund ot 400.0001. arising as a revenue from the territorial possessionsin the East Indies. That Act expressly said, the sum shall be paid into the Exchequer, there to be kept till dealt with by Parliament. Certainly if the transaction were to be dune over again, he should recommend that it should not be proceeded in without the knowledge and sanction of Parliament; but while he admitted that be never could consent to censure area whose motives could not be fairly questioned. He should have no object on to adapt an annual instead of a triennial re vrt trout the Woods and Forests, or to any other mea sure which might be showa to be n e cessary for the due regulation and. administration of the public money. Even if he had made an unguarded and free admission io the Finance Committee, which be could not have imagined would be takers advantage of, and an coming into chat House was challenged wit's that admission,, he should at once say he should oppose the Resolu tion, and up n the ground that if there hod been an °set-- Sight or inadvertence, it did not call for the severe measure pro posed. Allusioihs bad been made to the death of Mr. Canting, and to the affliction of Lord Liverpool, but however deeply he might feel upon those subjects, be would MA allude tag them as a shield to protect public owe from public censure. He opposed the Resolution on the simple ground of Its nijustice. But he must say that if unhappily a sense of public duty had compelled him to con cur in the Resolution, his pain to doing so would have been re doubled by the reflection that the Legislature hid that Session borne a full and unequivocal testimony of the merits and services of Mr. Canning. And be thought that if Lord Liverpool should be restored even for a Moment to bis powers, he would karts that the only notice Parliament had.taken of his public conduct, was to brand it for a transaction which the most violent bad nut stigma tised as worse than inadvertent—(Hear, hear). Lord JOHN RUSSELL supported the Resolution, and con tended that the high character of Lord Liverpool was the strongest reason possible why the House should stamp the transaction with its censure. It would else become a precedent. Mr. BROUGHAM contended at some length, that Ministers by the act in question, were bound to come to Parliament with an account of the manner in which the money had beets appropriated. That was the Constituoonal mode. 'f he application unauthorized of so large a sum as 250,0001. without the concurrence of 1 2 .'8.14- ' ment, tended greatly to a lavish expenditure of the public money. In the present case it would be believed by the public, that but for the accidental discovery of the Finance Committee, the expenditure of the money now the subject of discussion, would never have been brought forward. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR replied: The question was, had the Treasury power to dispose of 250,0cia1. without the nowledge or consent of Parliament? Was it justified in withholding from the House of Commons this new application of the public money?: The circumstance had been wilfully concealed, and. but for the I Finance Committee, he was satis fi ed would never have been dis ' covered. He defied any man to say this was nut a gnash violation and infringement of the privileges of the House. If the House passed over this, it was vain to attempt to attach responsibility to any act of Ministers. He hoped that the Hointiewou.datto allow. its privileges to be thus violated. He felt satisfied he sees right in the Resolutions which he hat brought Onward: the first ot 'which merely asserted a matter of fact, and the other that the' iireutn stance complained of was a gross •itilatiou albs Wyk, *OJ pd.

The Duke of WELLINGTON'S reply to the questions put by Lord Gaosvasoa last night, on presenting a Petition ' against West India Slavery, will be highly satisfactory to those who entertained doubts—with as little ground as many other doubts have been raised— of the sincerity of the desire of the Government to put down the Slave Trade. The principles of the re solutions of Parliament for the mitigation and gradual Abolition of slavery, and the Order in Council rs+ued thereon, are to be strictly carried into effect. Some delay seems to have arisen in putting them into prac• tice, but it will soots vanish before the power of a wit ling Premier. The French Papers mention the commencement of the bombardment of Brailow, by tie Grand Duke MICHAEL, ssd that the besieged had entreated an ar- mistice for three days.which had not bees gralited them. A surrender of the garrison will most probably follow. The private correspondence from Portugal continues to present a melancholy picture of the anarchy and cbnfusion reigning in that disturbed country. That 'some serious event is on the eve of taking plate cannot be doubted, but the total want of communication be tween the different Provinces, enable the partisans of the Constitutional cause to be very little aware of the real motions of Don Mtouet.'s forces. The meeting of the Cones was to take place on the 17th instant, at the Hall of the Palace of AjuJa, prescribed by the Charier as the place of Meeting, and the result will, az all events, be to inspire confidence into the respect able part of the Portuguese, on whom fear now operate, to pre. vent the r boldly joining the Constitutional side. Great anxiety seems to be felt for England to take some part in the contest—..an anxiety which, unfortunately for Portugal, cannot, consistently with the policy of Great &haul, or of national law, be at present relieved. Whether the necessity for our interference will oc• cur, is a matter entirely of speculation ; but to do so merely to uphold the charter is contrary to the principles so often la;d down by our Government.
