Sir G. WARRENDER moved that the House should go into a Committee .if Supply. Mr. TIERNEY did not know that any opposition was likely to be offered to the Resolutions which the Honourable Baronet had to propose; but he thought time might to be given for the arrival of those Members, who might wish to speak on the sub ject, add that the House should not so soon go into the Committee. Sir G. W ARREN DER certainly would not have proposed that the (louse should go intb a Committee of Supply at that early hour, if he had thought the Resolutions he had to move wete at all likely to create a discussion. The fact was, however, that he anticii,ited nothing of the kind, as he had only to pro pose a renewal of the former grants, and to move for a small sum on account; leaving all that might create a diference of opinion to stand over till after the holidays, by which time the subject might be better considered. The SPEAKER said, it had been arranged a few nights ago, that the public business, in consequence of the peculiar situation of the [louse in the present Session, should not commence till lve o'clock. To-day there did not happen to be much private business, but he did not think that it would be well to break through the rule so recently made. If the Honourable Baronet would withdraw his moticn for the present, there were some Petitions to be presented, which could be received. Sir G. WARRENDER consented to withdraw his motion far the present. Mr. BROUGHAM gave notice, that immediately after the holidays a Learned Friend of his proposed to introduce a Bill , into the House, to repeal certain Acts which stood in the way of the removal of Pauper Children from the Metropolis to the. County of De;ou. Mr. JOHN SMITH expressed his hope that when the sub j.:a conic to be discussed, everything would be done to Gelb tat.: the object in view, as the removal of to great a burden as the l'auper Children would be of the greatest advantage to the Net ropulio Mr. GRENTELL said he should, on Wednesday next, move fur Accounts 'hewing the amount of Public Balances in the hands of the Bank; and also for a Paper tending to strew the amount of Money paid for what was called the Manage merit of she Public Debt. On the motion of Sir GEORGE WARRENDER, the House resolved itself into a Committee of Supply. The Honour able Member then said, that as the Estimates for Naval Ser vice would shortly come before the House in a detailed form, he should now only o'aserve, that in addition to other sums which he had to propose, be should move for £500 , 000, on ac count, for the service of the year 1820. The following sums were then agreed to, being for the sup port of 23,000 men, including 8,000 Matinee, fof thirteen lunar months, commencing from the Ist of January, 1820: For wages, at the rate of £2. 3s. 6d. each man, per month - - - £653,500 0 0 Victuals, at the rate of £2.

PRoCEEDINGS AT MANCHESTER. Mr. TiOnHOUSE, on the part of an Honourable Friend V. 1., was absent (Sir Francis Burdett), wished to correct a mis m!:e r:lative to a notice of a motion which he had given on a former night. It was stated to refer to the transactions at Old -1...m, whereas it was intended to refer to the occurrences which teat place at Manchester on the 1611 t of Mamma. It was the intention of his Honourable Friend to bring on the moticn on ce early day after the holidays. The SPIUK tbcn consulted the notice book, and found the notice in question to refer to the transactions at Manchester August last. Mr. 1101S110USE then said, tha; he wished to fix the in°. ti3r.for Thursday, the hth of June, sad It was appointed to surest for that day accordingly. CIVIL LIST. Lcrd CASTLEREAGH rose to move that the o:der °L i the Day be read for the House to resolve ksPlf into a Committee on the Civil List. thrin question for the Speaker leaving the Chair, .Nr. BENNETT objected to this Rill being pro ceee.e.l in till the House vras in posses ion of further information. All the information the House had to gc) on, was the report made in 1816 ; at which time t: was said, the time for inquiry and investigation-- the d:rnise of the Crown—must soon arrive. That time had arrived, and now the House was refused every sc.rt of information, except whit was given in 1816. Under any circutatances, he should consider the Civil List now proposed as too large ; but espy daily so under the ptcsent situation of the CObatry; • . 0 *.r.4 4 • but it wss sail, here was no addition to be proposed ;. true ; but did the House consider that the change in our currency had made at least £5 per cent. dif ference to the Civil List, and that difference to its advantage. The 'Noble Lord said, the Civil List had worked well; true, it had worked well for them and their friends who had governed the country for the last fifty years; the names of persons had indeed been changed, but the measures were the same. The hand indeed was thehand of Esau, but the voice was still the voice of Jacob. Having said thus much, he should now wish to allude to the notice he had given on a former night, for leave to bring in a 13111 to exclude persons receiving pensions for life from seats in that House. He wished now to say, he should extend that 8i11..t0 persons holding offices on the Civil List. The Honourable Member then en tered into a view of the various payments made out of the Civil List, by which it appeared that the Crown paid in pensions no less a suns than £370,000 annually. It was said the splendour of the Crown must be kept up, but on this occasion he could not forget the sentiment, " that it was improper to see misery so well dressed." The Crown ought not to 'be thus gorgeously arrayed, whilst the people were in rags 1 The Honourable Member then adverted to the opinion of Mr. Fox, as confirmed by Sir Fletcher Norton, when Speaker, and afterwards by the late Speaker, namely, that fu times of distress, the House had not only the power to investigate the expendi ture of the Civil List, but if there was a misapplica tion discovered, also to resume the grant. Having made these observations, he 'should not oppose the Speaker leaving the Chair. The Reuse then went into a Committee. The Resolution fixing the sum for England was agreed to. On 'the Aesolution for granting the sum of £207,000 for Ireland, • Sir J. NEWPORT objected to this sum 45 too large. He also particolarly objected to the classifi cation for Ireland, and wished to revert to the clas sification of 1793. He should particularly object to the additional grant of 100,000 a-year for the Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland. He would not object to it for the present Lord Lieutenant ; but, after him, he trusted, if the office was not abolished altogether, the £lO,OOO would be stopt. Lord CASTLEREAGH defended this grant,which was by no means equal to the expenses of the office; on the contrary, a Noble Duke, now no more, had so far embarrassed his own private fortune, when in the office, that he was under the necessity of going abroad to retrieve his affairs. He supposed the Honourable Baronet only intended this as a notice, and would take discussion hereafter. Sir JOHN NEWPORT would take the discussion at a later period, if that could be done ; but if it could not, he must now call for the sense of the House upon it. Mr. C. GRANT contended that the allowance of £30,000 was not much more than sufficient to sup port the dignity of the office. Indeed, unless the greatest economy was used in the expenditure, the pre sent Noble personage who held the office, must lose considerably by holding it. Mr. TIERNEY could not understand how the Lord Lieutenant could suffer in his private fortune: Was it to be taken, that a Gentleman holding that office was not to touch his own private fortune at all, during the time he held the office? Was he to save his fortune, and have his patronage besides ? It was said, the allowance of £30,000 a-year was not suf ficient ; but he would ask, had there ever been any difficulty in getting Lords Lieutenant at that rate? He never heard that there had. On the contrary, he had known instances of persons being very angry, that they did not get the appointment, when it was only £20,000 a-year. He thought inquiry and inves tigation into the sum necessary for the support of the office of Lord Lieutenant ought to take place. Sir H. PARNELL thought it was a question o doubt, whether the office of Lord Lieutenant ought not to be abolished altogether. Certainly the inte rests of the City of Dublin would not be affected by such a step. Dublin depended for prosperity on other circumstances. In taking into consideration this office, it would appear that the £30,000 was not the whole expense of the office; there was an establishment attached to it, the expense of keeping up the Vice-regal Palace and the Phenix Park, and he believed the real charge of this office to the Pub lic was not less than £1 00,000 a-year. Lord CASTLEREAGH submitted, that the whole of the Civil List Establishment of Ireland had been under the consideration of Parliament, and the re sult of that investigation was, that sinecure - places to the amount of 70,0001. a-year, as they tell in and became vacant, did not fall to the Crown, but re mained vacant, and their salaries went to the Conso lidated Fund. With respect to the necessity of the office being kept up, he was of opinion it was most essential to the public service, and to the safety of Ireland that it should be kept up ; and the only ques tion was, as to the additional grant of 10,0001. a-year to the person who held the office. Lord Hardwicke had said, when he returned from Ireland, that some addition should be made to the salary, or no Noble man of small fortune could accept it, but at the cer tainty of ruin, and he (Lord Castlereagh) must at once protest against a doctrine which would confine all office and all honour to the great Leviathan's of fortune, to the exclusion of persons of moderate pro perty, let their talents be what they might, unless they would take office at the certainty of making beggars of themselves for life. Mr. SHAW was convinced the Citizens of Dublin were decidedly in favour of the allowance to the Lord Lieutenant. The trifling sum given to the Lord Lieutenant, if saved, would be saved at almost the ruin of the City of Dublin. He was sorry to hear any lash Member propose a paltry saving to be purchased at such a price ; and he trusted it would never be adopted. Sir J. NEWPORT had no intention of applying the reduction to the present Lord Lieutenant, to whom, and the Right Hon. Gentleman, the Secretary for Ireland, the country were under great obliga tions; but, as the present Lord Lieutenant's Govern ment bad nearly expired, he suggested the propriety of inquiry as to his successor's appointment and salary. Mr. W. POLE said, investigation had taken place during the Government of the late Duke of Rich lamond, unknown indeed to that Nobleman, when it !appeared that his expenditure was £40,000. The Lord Lieutenant had many duties to perform, be sides liviag in state. Lis LaZue was expected to be .... found at the head of every public and private ' city. He was convinced the Gentry, and people of Ireland too, would feel the abolition of the office as.' a serious injury ; it would deprive the Nobility and Gentry, always resident in Ireland, of the advan tages ofl Court,. and prove most injurious to trade. He considered it one of the greatest absurdities that could enter the mind of man, to think of depriving Ireland of her Lord Lieutenant. It was never irr tended to make the salary of the Lord Lieutenant equal to his expenses ; but to make it such as to in duce any man of high rank to accept the office with out running the hazard Of being ruined. No Arian 'could fill the office under £lO,OOO a year of his own pm Mr. . TIERNEY denied that he had ever lent him self to the proposition.of abolishing the office of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. The proposition came from Irish and not from English Gentlemen. Sir H. PARNELL said, there was certainly a great difference between him and the Right Hon. Gentleman, as to the abolition of the office of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. The Right Hon. Gentleman had resided long in the Castle of Dublin, where he had heard nothing on that subject ; but the opinion was very general in Ireland, that the office should be abolished. Mr. BARING said, nothing could be more absurd than to say that no man of rank would accept offices without large salaries. He wished to know ,why 10,0001. a-year should be given to a Governor of the Cape of Good Hope—a salary twice as large as that of any Governor of our other foreign posses- sions. This proposition for the reduction of the salary bf the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, was well worthy the consideration of the House in the present distressed state of the country. The other clauses were then agreed to; the Bill went through the Committee, and was ordered to be reported to-morrow. —Adjourned. • PARLIAMENTARY PAPER.

Such was the dispatch used in his journey, that he only left Geneva on Friday night, a distance of nearly 700 miles. tier MA• JESTY was at Geneva when he quitted, where she in tended to remain two days, for the ;sake of rest ; tie then proposed proceeding to the frontiers of France, but had no intention of visiting Brussels, as formerly reported. The messenger's instructions were, to re turn immediately with an answer, and meet her on the road. T;:e French journals have announced her MAJESTY'S entry into France above ten days since; and the Journal des Dehats, of hloncay, gives it as an on dit, that sire had been several days in Paris, incognito : the arrival of the above messenger com pletely exposes the , inaccuracy of these statesnents..-- Her MAJESTY was rather indisposed when the Co. lonel left, but it arose merely from the fatigue she bad undergone in travelling. The Paris Papers of Sunday and bkftday arrived this forenoon. • On Saturday, M. BIDAULT, lately responsible Editor of the Constitutionnel, was found guilty, in the Court of Assizes, of having, by an article inserted in that Journal, provoked and excited the citizens to civil war. He was condemned to two years of rarprL. sonment, and 10,000 francs of fine. M. BIDAVLT has appealed against the judgment. The Renommie informs its readers, that an insur rection has burst out at Jamaica, not less general nor less bloody than that mhich desolated t. Dc mingo!--It is a pity to deprive the RenoP , Mc't and its readers of any national pleasure they may feel in ,such a piece of news; but, for the sake of uLh of our countrymen as may be vegetating in Fi arce, we think it as well to mention, that the people Ja maica themselves knew nothirig of all this bloody tragedy when the last accounts came away, and that the first intelligence they ill probably have of it will be through this veritable announcement cf the peck. liarly well-informed Renoln”We. From Spain there is a variety cf kgerestirtg ac counts in thee Papers, from which we have only room for a few extracts. MINA and the Civil Authorities of Navarre conti nue much at variance, and it is supposed that he will scarcely be able to maintain his post of Viceroy. It appears, that after the memorable example of Box*• PAItTI3, he forced himself into the midst of the Pa triotic Society of Pampeluna, attended by a number of Officers, who significantly put their hands to their swords, as a signal apparently to the Patriots po go about their business ; but the citizens were not to to so intimidated ; each of them drew loaded pistols from their pockets; and at the sight of this threatened resistance, MINA and his satellites withdrew. The investigation into the Cadiz massacre is pro ceeded in with zeal and activity. GeneraloCnsevANA and VALDES, the Colonels, and several other Officers of the two battalions of Guides and Loyalty, have been arrested ; and the battalions themselves have been disbanded. The frigates Constitution and Viva were expected to be ready to sail from Cadiz for America on the Bth instant. They are to touch at Tenerife, Porto Rico, Havannah, and Vera Cruz ; and will leave at each place-duplicates of the Decree for the convoca tion of the Cortes. Among a variety of Royal Decrees which have been recently issued, there is one permitting the im portation of books and prints into Spain, free of all duty ; another disqualifying any perstin from holding two appointments under Government at the same time; and a third ordering all vacancies in public situittiOs to be advertised in the journals for cue
