Colonel Ai bikci ... been ealPgreei to thitt of Colonel Taylor, but they . were widely different. Colonel Taylor was thetye hand orthe Sovereign ; and though Colonel and Ta hylto:hoad so conducted-himself, that not even the s b f adow imputation could attach to him, yet he • ( E ) was one of those who thought Co l . Taylor • s had have been made more responsible for his con duct than he had been. Delicacy to his Majesty, however, had prevented such a measure being urged by t h e - I use. But here, in the present case, was a thillouse—( loud eheering)—liere was a les lesaesincill fo whic r h bright to instruct them. a lf the business was so much increased a s t o require fourth Secre ore of State, let it be stated, and he would be one o f the first to suppo . rt the appointment of one ; but 1a hi m be appointedin a constitu tional manner—in e el a manner as w ould render him properly respon sive for his acts. With the manner this appointmene bad been made he could not egree, and therefore the se ction should have his most cordial support. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER w ould agree that this question should not be consi dered a s if directed merely to a private person, but that it should be discussed upon public grounds. An old and faithful eer:ant was, he would admit, de serving of reward ; but, at the same time, such a consideration alone would not be sufficien t fur the establishment of a new place ; nor, if i ts illegality were proved, should it any longer be allowed to con tinue in existence. The Hon. Gentleman who spoke last seemed to him to convey, in his approbation of rewarding old and faithful friends, more than he ex pressed. Did ne mean to say, that the individual filling the Throne of this country should alway ' choose his servants from among his private friends ? Did-he mean to say, that the Monarch of this coun try was to be the head of a party ? If so, he would tell him that this was a sentiment the most unconsti tutional—(Hear)—and the most aristocratic that could be expressed. There were certainly ocher per. sons who had been more nearly connected in private life with his Royal _Highness than the present Mini stry; but the connections of private life should not be :motive in the selection of public servants. He was willing to make any apology if he misunderstood the Hon. Gentleman ; but what that - Hon. Gentleman said seemed to him to have such a tendency. The paper moved for at present he did not think necessary, because, if the appointment was ilegal, the House might proceed against such an illegal appointment without the production of the instrument. But in truth the appointment could not be considered illegal, because no per.on would deny the right in the Crown to establish a new office. The appointment of Co lonel Taylor was of the same nature, and it was made by those persons who now complained of the present one. The duties attached to it were merely those of manual labour. It was true, that.his Majesty had, eSrforty years, managed his businees. without such a Secretary, and it was astonishing how he could hive done so ; but they should recollect the difference of circumstances and of habits in his Majesty and the Prince Regent. Tile opposition to this appointment tppeared to him most extraordinary. It would ap pear from it as if Gentlemen were destitute of any teal ground of opposition, and had taken up this for want of a better. They shewed a disposition to com plain, but without cause. (Near.) Much twat had been made use of about exterior and interiorCabi nets ; but did any person believe that Colonel *Mahon Seas really a Secretary of State.? Mt. PONSONBY did not believe that his Ho nourable Friend reea - nt to say that public servants should be always chosen from among private friends. He was convinced that uo such motives could ope tote on the Prince Regent ; and the situation of the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite was proof that such motives were not the guide of his conduct, for he be lieved that Right Hon. Gentleman had never ban the private friend o f hi s Royal Highness. Even though the legality of the appointment in question were admitted, the constitutionality of it would yet remain doubtful. When they were told that there teas no* so much for a King to do ' • so great an ac cumulation of business; it seemed to be forgotten that his Majesty the King came to the Throne about the middle oi the memorable seven years' war ; at a time when there was five times more foreign corres pondence than any of the present Ministers would un dertake to manage ; yet he had contrived to perform all his duties without the aid of any private secretary, then to the moment when nature had rendered Colonel Taylor necessary. If there were to be such an Officer, then it oould be for Parliament to define the duties, and to impose a proper responsibility. This was absolutely necesssary. For see the con. sequences! A Piince might conic to the Throne who was not of such mature years as the Prince; possibly a wcrnan, a n d p oss ibl y one w h o was b owe d down by various calamities; and under such circumstances, *maid not this Private Secretary have some influence? Would not the Sovereign be inclined to rest on this Private Secretary's advice ? It was not in the nature of things that such an Officer could be without the Highest influence of any person in the State ; an in fluence, too, of which neither the law nor Parliament could lay any hold—(llear.) Much had been said at various times, as well as on the present evening, about interior and exterior Cabinets; but the Right Honourabl e G ent l eman ( t h e Ch ance ll or o f t h e Ex chequer) had called all that had been said on such subject a kind of cant he had said that it was a kind of cant constantly used by the Opposition—by those persons who were not now in office, but wished to get into office. That might have been the language of Opposition at various times ; but could either the Chancellor of the Exchequer, or any man conversant with the histery of the country for the last 50 years, say e , that th ere h a d not b een such t hi ngs ? ( H ear, hear .) Every o ne k new, as did the Right Honourable Gen tleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) in parti cular, that there had been exterior and interior Go vernment, exterior and interior Cabinets. As to the bey office, it was one that was pregnant with evil ; and . thou g h t h e Chancellor cf the Exchequer had en deavoured to t reat t h e mot i on w i t h mum levity, yet he felt convinced that the Right Honourable Gentle man, in his own mind, did not think lightly of A Noble L or d (C astlereagh) had said, that business bad so much increased, that the Prince Regent was compelled to have a Priiate Secretary, otherwise his loyal Highness would be so "buried" under the im mense piles of official and other papers, that he would not be able to get from under them. If the piles of papers really were so huge that the Prince Regent Would hi ve been i n danger of being 4 4 buried" under -t:hentrhe thought that Colonel M • , Maho' would stand but a very, sorry chance ; for if the one were not Alla: certain it was that the other was not Herculet—( Mu tual laughter, and cries of Hear, hear.)—He had heard, or somewhere read, of a favourite cat or lap-dog, that was drowned in a bowl of milk ; and he should ex- pect to hearsome day or other, that Col. M' M ahon had been suffocated under numberless reams of offs- cial papers.—(Much laughter!) Mr. Secretary RYDER could not but endeavour to rescue his Right Honourable Friend (the Chancel lor of the Exchequer) from the Hon. Member who had last spoken. The Hon. Member maintained that if the appointment were illegal, it certainly must be unconstitutional ; that, however, was not the case.— It was, however, somewhat curious that Gentlemen opposite had not stepped forward to find fault with the appsintment of Colonel Taylor ; that they should not vent their mournful plaints until the Prince came to act for his Rny;tl Father. Mr. LAMBE said, that unless all the main prin-• ciples of the Constitution were over-ruled, the House must agree in the production of the document moved for, with a view of reversing the appointment that was made. \J en Colonel Taylor had been appointed private Secretary to the King, there was a great' dial of dissatisfaction at the circumstance. •He had not heard the slightest ground of necessity advanced for this measure; for creating a new Ministei between the Crown and the public responsible Ministers. If all communications were to come through this Private Secretary, who could tell how far the public business might be delayed—how much influence he might possess—and how far he might not take the whole business of the State into his own hands ? Who could tell that this Colonel M'Mahon might not one day be actually King of England ? He might influence every thing, and at the same time be protected by complete immunity. If the House would not inter fere in this appointment, any man who wished for power hereafter would act like a mere driveller, if his own ambition did not lead him to aspire to this new appointment. Mr. CA I.CRAFT' saw nothing unconstitutional or alarming in the appointment ; and it would be cruel to deprive the Regent of the assistance which the press of public business rendered indispensible— ' (Hear, hear.)—Let Gentlemen talk with a little com m:,: sense on this subject— (Hear, hear.)—For seven years Colonel Taylor filled a similar office, and no complaint was made of it at that time ; and why should the present appointment be objected to ? He I admitted that, the appointment would be improper, if his Private secretary gave advice (Hear, hear,) to his Sovereign ; but such a thing was not likely : and as the office was mdispensible, in the present great accu mulAtion of public business, he would oppose the motion. . Mr. WHITBREAD then rose. 46 This, Sir, is a new era—(Loud cheer:, and cries of hear, hear!) — An ara in which persons are doomed to lose the hinds of their early youth.—(Hear, hear). —This is a melancholy fact.; but this is a new era ! I have been accustomed to hear the voice of my Honour able Friend (Mr. Calcraft) raised in my support; ; and had I opened the door and come into this House I v hile my Honourable Friend was speaking—had I only heard his voice, from the knowledge which I thought I had of his political principles, I would h.tve laid any wager—l would have belted any odds th.it he was speaking for the motion.—(Loud cries of Hear, hear.)—But, Sir, how should I have Leen de- 1 ceived ! for my Hone Friend has spoke most vehe mently against this motion. I am much surprised, but I am surprised only in common with those who sit near me, and amongst whom my Hon. Friend (Mr. Calcraft) was in the habit of taking his seat." [ 4 fr. Galt-raft did not sit on the Oftliosiaon bench a: he had been accustomed to do.] —Mr. Whitbread then went on to express his surprise that Mr. Calcraft should corn plan of those who approved of the present Motion, for not finding fault with the appointment of Colonel Ta)lor, since that very Honourable Gentleman had often been a party to those deliberations on that very appointment, which had ultimately induced them to forbear all opposition on account of his Majesty's infirmities. Although this was a new era, and al though all predilections had ceased, yet there was some consolation to be drawn from the fact, that while they had lost a strong friend, their new antu gonist was comparatively weak.—(Hear, hear, bear.) —His Honourable Friend (Mr. Calcraft) seemed to have forgotten that the case of Colonel Taylor, and the appointment of Colonel M'Mahon, were .marked by different circumstances. Colonel Taylor was not I a Privy Councillor, - nor was he a Member of Puha , meet at the time of his appointment. — (Mr. Stephen here evinced some doubt: of Me correctness of Me latter state ntent.)—Colonel Taylor was not a Member of Parlia ment at the tim e of his appointment ; and to ascer tain the correctness of this statement, he would refer the Honourable and Learned Gentleman opposite to the Almanac for that year. (Much laughter, and loud tries of Hear, hear.) Besides, ColoN2 l Taylor was paid by the King out of his Privy Purse ; (Hear, beer) — and that appointment had not taken place till the in firmities of his Majesty made it absolutely necessary; indeed, he would assert, that in his opinion, no grea ter affront dould have been offered to his Majesty when in possession of all his faculties, than to insi nuate that a Private Secretary was necessary to assist him in the discharge of his Regal Functions. Allud ing to the necessity of a Private Secretary, a Noble Lord (Castlereagh) had introduced something of a lu dicrous nature, possibly, unintentionally, as his Lcircl+ ship did sometimes, (Laughter) and the Hon. Seat+ tary (Ryder) had come to that "rescue," but had' not been able to use his weapons I—The Noble Loud had tilked of Colonel *Mahon being necessary for dig ging up the Prince Regent from under piles of official papers ! What a new era !—But they had talked of dcaerations between Colonel M'Mahon and the Prince Regent—Deliberations ! " aye, there was the rub," that was the point on which they split. Such an of ficer was unknown to the Constitution.—But Colonel j M'Mahon, it seemed, was to select such papers as I were necessary for the Prince's immediate notice, and such as might be kept back—( Hear, hear, hear.) Here was the danger! It was making Colonel M'Mahon the comptroller over the fortunes of men (Hear, hear.) If Colonel M'Mahon were only to tie up the papers for his £2OOO, then it had the appearance of being created for him. The office contained the power of abuse. It however would appear that the Ministerial arrangements were not yet concluded, as he observed Members its various parts of the House who had not , been acettstomect to sit where they were. As to the duties of the Sovereign, in modert times they were, it appeared, so gigantic, that they would not bear a comparison with the pigmy proceedings of former pe. nods. The Somersets, the Godolphins, and the Marl boroughs of foriner days, were mere pigmies when com pared with the giants of one - time 4 Muck laughter.} The Secretary of State at thtt time, who occupied the place now held by the Nola, Lord, had none of those mighty arrangements to mike. Brit the Noble Lord's hands are full of diplomacy, and even at the Prince's Levee it was become necessary to appoint Colonel M.Mahon to bind up the immense rolls of additional papers with red taps. It was true, George the Third, on the decay of his sight, was obliged to appoint a person to trace his ideas on paper, but had the Prince Regent, a man in' the prime of his years, any such infirmities to provide for ? Oh ! but then, said they, the Prince Regent would have no leisure to ruminate on the mighty projects of his illustrious Ministers if he had the tape to tie with his own hands. To be sure they called out yes, but the sum was ex- ; ceedingly little ! Why, then, let the Regent pay it from his own privy purse. It was impossible for the House to repress the inclination which a constitu tional impulse created to know what description of duties Colonel M'Mahon had to perform ? Being a Privy Councillor and Privy Secretary to the Re gent, was, to all intents and purposes, to he a Seem- I tary in the Government. Front the cheers which the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr Perceval) op posite had given when he mentioned the predilec tion of men, he undoubtedly deemed, that he had taken an aim at the other side of the House ; but he could assure the Right Honourable Gentleman, that his shot had flown over his.head and he remained untouched. For his own part, he had no pretensions whatever to the title of early friend to his Royal Highness ; indeed, the whole veracity of the state ments rested on written documents, which, if the Right Honourable Gentleman would consult, he would see little occasion fir his cheers. We could know nothing now-a-days of private attachments, and apparently much less of political opinions.— (Hear, hear.) —Of those predilections he would only say, that the moment when the scene of private life closed, the assumption of a public office prevented all examination of conduct by earlier principles; and we had to contemplate all the actions which distin guished its commencement as performed for the wel fare of the nation. But at the beginning of the new zra, he should vote, that the appointment of a new and intermediate Minister should be explained in a 'satisfactory manner to the House. Mr. WILBERFORCE declared, that while he Contended for the necessity of the office, he should be l ead if the Prince paid the officer himself.—(Luud shouts of Hear, hear.) Lord FOLKSTONE supported the motion. 1 Mr. FULLER should vote with all his heart and soul against the motion. Did not they allow on the other side that his Royal' 'Highness had an immense number of private letters to write ; and was that no ground for the appointment? Gentleman should recollect, that when his Majesty ascended the Throne, be was young and hearty,—(A Laugh).—that he used to get up and go Ito bed early.—(A Laugh).—and that he was quite able to go through all his papers without any help. Now did not they know that the Prince Regent was not so young, and that he would therefore want a Secretary ? The question was a Gren ville question. It was worse than a party question. Tithe Gren ville* wanted to be so very patriotic, why did not some of the family throw up their sinecures ? It would have been real patrio tism to take no more of the public money from an overburthen led people ; not to be sucking their blood as those patriots seemed, .out of affection, determined to do. Sinecures, that, when they were conferred on that family, were worth about five or six thousand a year, now bad increased 50,000; and yet it was this bloated family that complained of Colonel M.'s appointment. In fact it was their vanity that was disappointed, and all those measures were the result of that disappointment. There was a Irincorous hatred lately manifested against all the measures of the Prince Regent, and it betrayed itself on th , s as we!l as on other occasions. Let the country now fee who are the real friends of the Prince Regent. He did not mean any disparagement to Lord Grey and the Duke of Bedford ; but they chose to load them selves with the Grenvilles. hey tied a mill-stem about their necks ; and if they sink, it was not the fault of the Prince, nor of the country, but their own. . Mr. WYNNE then replied, and the House divided—For the mottos 100—Against it, 176—Majority 76. Mr. LUSHINGTON appeared at the bar with the Report of the Committee of Supply, which was agreed to:—Adjourned. Accessfully acted, he may be enabled, after posees. sing himself of the Midges of the Tagus, to drive the enemy across the Ebro—never to return. Sir ROWLAND HILL'S covering army is at Merida, with his out.pos! s on the road to Almaraz ; and Sir TuostAs GRAIIAM is advanced on the road to Seville, waiting the approach of Marshal Sow., who, it is expected has, by this time, raised the siege of Cadiz: Fort Picurina, at the time - Earl WELLING es head-quarters were established there, after the battle of Talavera, was a heap of ruins, and allowed to remain in that state by the Spaniaids ; but the French, on obtaining possession of Badajoi, saw that it was of the utmost'in portance to fortiii which is situated not more than 300 yards from the fortress, and is on a level with the tops of the houses in the lower and principal part of the town. We tejoi:e to learn that one of the earliest acts of the new Spanish Regency was to place under strict blockade the whole line of the sea coast of Spain now in the hands or the enemy. This praise-worthy mea sure has completely intercepted all supplies of provi. sions from America to the French armies in Spaini and the consequences have been ruinous to the cause of the invaders. SOULT, as our readers already know, has been obliged to break up from before Cadiz with the greater part of his force. The only vessels now permitted to pass will be those which are licenced to supply the patriotic armies. Several American vessels have been captured under these new regulations.
