When they were before Parlia t - " the understanding was then, that under the Itlr t t ge nc ma de with his Royal Highness, the tished. It was a mistake, there ,cirstnihad been relinq se, that any such claim, would he raised. fere to _ _ Mr. TIEI NE Y sa;d, he did n t r;se to oppose the lev a nt ion, but to make a tew observations which he eh eccssar statement l the statement made by the Glitrt n obcellor of the Exchequer. It the £lOO,OOO to ea Prince Regent were stated as necessary to make ro d th e out-goings he had been put to, and:to cover diripences of the year, he ha no objecion ; but he min t o we, he felt great reluctance to be t called on this night to v o:e £ lO,OOO without more fully under. ori di n n how it was to be applied. There were now two great statement, o p "nts befoie the House ; for it seemed , there were to be two Courts taotte said to be of necessity, the other constituno. D ak—FOr that which was - to be held bythe Queen, for the comfort, as it was sai d , of h i s Majesty, he could se e no reason. He denied that any pat tof the splendour allotted to majesty can be said to apply to the man--it was given Vilely to_the kingly office. If it could for a moment be supposed to attach to the he believed no one ever deserved it more than George the Third. The .project seemed, however, robe, that the Queen sh ould have a C. .urt of splen m, on the part of the King; and the Prince Re pt bhnuld have another, as he naturally ought to 10 , e, who was to represent his Majesty, and to wield c a a dminister the whole of the royal authority. As ( „ t he Queen's Court, he confessed he could not seu be* it was necessary but he saw very clearly that rend be dangerous. Considtring most seriously • tte afflicting situation of his Majesty, he would have every thing done that could by any means contribute vihis comfort;' but saw no reason for surrounding hie with splendour. He could see no necessity for each officers being about his person, as a Groom of the Stoke, tour Lords of the ikaicha:nber, &c. as had Ire enumerated by the Rig.it Hon. Gentleman, from which lie interred, that three new offices were to be created. [Here Mr. Perceval said across the table-- 44 To be paid out t f that fund."] 6 , I care sot (continued Mr. Tierney) cut of what fund they re to be paid. I make a distinction between neces. icy and influence ; and I think this is done to give the Queen a greater power than she ought to have." The kight Honourable Gentleman then proceeded : to observe, that he did not know what reason there could be in the provision made last Session, that the • restrictions should not cease till after Parliament had at sir weeks, unless it were for the purpose of mak ing Conditions, or a sort of contract, that before the enaictions should be taken off,. the Regent should ere to establish another Court, with powers and ap pendages, nearly, if not quite equal to his own. The situation of the King had been such, as to shew, be todd a possibility of doubt, that ever since the mid- ; dye of July last, the restrictions were highly unjust, and ought from that time to have ceased, as the hope I on which they had been founded had at that time totally vanished ; and by not calling Parliament till the period he did, the Right Hon. Gentleman had unnecessarily prolonged the continuance of the re srictions. Was it not, he asked, a fact, that the o Groom of the Stole and the four Lords of the Bed chamber, were never for a moment permitted to be attodance on his Majesty's person, during the Choi° time the symptoms were so favourable as to the the least hopes of the King's recovery ? How, en, should it now be necessary, when every hope of that kind had vanished, that there should ht., new Court, consisting of those various officers, unTess it trete lot the purppses of influence ? He should be glad to know whether this state, which was to be given to the Quitn.for the splendour of the King, was to be an abridgement of the splendour of the Regent ; and that the Regent should have only eight Lords of the liedchahiber, and the King four ; or whether there acre to be four additional lords of the Bedchamber. . ' Its the plan now stands, said he, a sum of XI MOO. is to b e g i ven to t he Queen, expressly to provide for the comfort and splendour of the King. The Queen is also to f ece i ve aliother sum of £lO,OOO, to which should be added sesB,ooo, which she had already; so that the Queen would altogether have nearly £200,000 toenly ttir splendour. The Queen had in her own ' rtgu a Master of the Horse and a Vice-Chamberlain, and Gob fcrb d she should not have them ; but he Irr en reason why these high Officers of the Shinn .Nould not ago do for the King, without in any manner kilning either his comfort or his splendour. He beg ged leave to observe, that he did not mean at that me bent to m a k e an y p os i t i ve o bj ec ti on s to the items he . mentioned, for he was not fully informed concern torgs th em. Oa the subject f the Civil List, the satancellor of the Exchequer expected there would be a reduction on account of the family of the Prince i Regent not b e i ng so l arge as t h a t o f his Majesty; but I in this po nt he did not so clearly comprehend ltit 112 ratting as to be able to coincide in opinion with le:nt. , Chancellor had, however, admitted, that the sum veted to the Civil List in 1601, in addition to the 400,000 antecedently granted, was £60,000, and yet there was at the end of the very next year an exceeding of expence of 8124,000, and that in every year since' there had been an exceeding, though not always id the same amottat. The Right Honourable Gentle man had told the House, they must make up their minds to it ; but certainly if the Prince were to accept this artangetnent, it was necessary that every thing relating to it should be perfectly understood. lithe Civil List of Scotland, and the Droits of the Admi ralty, should continue to exceed £124,000, then it ' seemed Parliament . was to hear no more of it; but if these two sources should not be so productive, it was to be otherwise. The House ought to know ' • and the r efo re s h ou ld not, in his opinion, be called on to vote the resolution this night. It was 71 ° 1 his intcation to trouble the House so far as to put W tike mute* to I vote: but he ibuict not surfer ;t to pass, *ithnut his protest against deeming himself pledged 't6 support it in any future stage, of the business. Mr. '5 HERI DAN rose in obedience to a call froth ruan of the House. He observed; that it was riot his inretition o trouble the House, but in conse quence of something that had fallen from the Right Hon; Gdettleman, in iwswer to a question which had been pat by his . Friend (Mr. Ponsonby) respec , ing the art. "le Duchy of Cornwall.— Tlte Right Hon.

I . :o'2, when the claims were male by the present ". d Manners, who then held the office of Solicitor- 11-r' eral to the Pt ince, the gene ral impression in the House was, that the claims were well founded, and the Prince had credit gived him for not pressing them in consequence of the arrangement entered into. To shew that he had net given up his claims, he would refer to a message which the Prince sent down by Mr. Tyrwhit, and which was entered on' •• In the account which we hereunto subjo:n will be the J innals.

The intelligence of Peace having been concluded between Russia and Turkey is ar e length formally confirmed. In consequence of the intelligence, the exchange at St. Petersburgh immediately rose to 20%, a rate at which it has not been since the. Treaty of Tilsit. A messenger has likewise reached England, I with dispatches to our Government, to announce this agreeable occurrence. The peace was accelerated by . a destructive battle, in which the Turks were com pletely overthrown, having been first surrounded by the Russians. General SIMON, for whom the reward of £lOO was offered by Government, was taken at a late hour last night, at a house in Camden-town, where he was found concealed in the coal-hole. One of the accu• sations against him, we understand to be, that of giving information to BONAPARTE against a French General, lately in this country, who repeatedly re fused to break his parole, although furnished with the means by the emissaries of the Tyrant in this country. Our Government thought so highly of the above Officer's conduct, that they permitted him to return to France without any solicitation on his part. -On his landing, he was instantly shot by order of his ferocious master.
