HIS MA/EV*l% CORONATION. The Order of the Day hating been read for the iouw to resolve itself into• a Committee of Supply, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved, that.the House shoold then vesolvritself into I,:e Committee. Mr. CREEVEY took the opportunity of making a observations on one 'of the Estimates, namely, that of the Coronation expenses. His opinion was,. tint no such Estimate ought to be , proposed ; and that under all the circumstances of the present times, no Coronation ought to take plaie at. present. I.ot the House consider for a moment what these cir t amstances were. lathe other House of Parliament, • the proposition of a Minister of the Crown, apro ',ceding was on foot, the issue of which, if.rumour • to be at all believed, would be a measure ex oosing the Queen to shame and disgrace, in- conse •-vience of the information contained in the Green . ;;ag. Was it decent, that while such an event was :.',;prehended, another Minister should comedown to toe House of Commons, and propose the expenditure of a large grant of the public money in a great na tional festival? Under such circumstances, a great itional gala would be most hostile to the feelings of the people. There was no reason for such a step.— It the Constitution, or the Lass, prescnled that the ceremony should take place within # certain period, however unpleasant to the feelings of the country, it ought to proceed. But as no such ordinance existed, as it was not prescribettliy law when the Coronation should Lifce place, he thought the proposition ex tremely improper, and that his Majesty had been most injuriously advised not to post pone it until some more expedient period. In acountries there existed a strong feeling, but he believed that if there was one country in the world in which, More than in another, men *ere djstingaished for their honourable feeling towards women, It was ours.—. lie had never seen an instance in which a man had intonly exposed a female to shame and infamy. How disgusting, therefore, must it beto the Nation, 1: a moment 4 ken their Queen (for so she was) was, sir bje.ted to a criminal prosecution, to see his Majesty preparing for a Jubilee, to be paid for out of the pockets of the People! This was the more to be de precated, as the inquiry to which he alluded had been declared by the House to be derogatory to the dig nity of the Crown, and injurious to the interests of the People. It was because he thought it so that he hoped means might be found to arrest its pret gross. But sure he was,. that if it were proceeded with, the fete in question, and the grant of the enor mous sum required for it, ought not to be agreed to by the House. Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that he was really not prepared for any opposition to the proposed vote. The Honourable Gentleman would find the nun which it was intended to apply no the-purpose in question considerably lest thaifi lie was perhaps aware of. He was at a loss to - conceive - whY his Majesty's sights as a Sovereign should. be impaired by the-prow ceoding alluded to by the- Honourable Member. it wculd, in his opinion, hatelseett veil itideteitt in any Minister to advise his Sovereigniiineesiarlly to de-: lay one of the most o solemn.c.eroiuoiiinilit wn to oar Constitution. Fur the advice dins giSen hi:Majestys 'Ministers were certainly responsible. They bad Con sidered that a sufficient interval had elapsed slice the demise of the Crown, and that considerable in convenience would be occasioned-to intEviduals )fit s•.-ere postponed to a later period in the year. If the event should be painful to her Majesty'S feelings, he should regret it; but he mint beg leave to observe, that her Majesty's presence was not the seeking of Ministers. Her Majesty's being here, and the painful discussions which her arrival in this country bad oc., casioued, ought not, in hi s opi n i on , to arrest the pro gress cu that which was a great Constitutional duty on the Sovereign—namely, to enter inio`e - evienant with his people. The estimated expense of the pro sceeding would be only 1:105,000. • De. LUSHINGT(iN confessed that at the present -time, and under circumstances so peculiar, as respect ing both the -Royal Consort of tbelCigg and die pub lic feeling, he thought Ministers would have better done their duty by advising ibis Majesty to postpone the ceremony in question. it was admitted on all 'hands that them was no necessity for an immediate Coronation. Many of our Kings had reigned with:' •out having been crowned at all. A Coronation avai l therefore, not necessary ; and if not necessary, it be yanic simply a question whether or not it was expe client? it appeared to him that when that inquisitioni was fining to take place, to which his Hon. I Friend ::ear him had alluded, it Was highly improper for a great public festival to be solemnized; in which her Mtjesty could take no part, and that at a period -oihen the public feeling was so strongly roused on the question of her Majesty's -guilt or Innocence.— The Noble Lord would, he thought, agree with him, that it was most imprudent to provoke the feelings cf the People at a time when -they were in a high state cf susceptibility, when Addresses were pouring in from all quarters complaining of the treatment which her Majesty had received, and the Noble Lord must knave (if Keever looked into futurity.) that asthe critical t;:ne advanced the popular irritation would increase. under such circumstances the proposed festival was, in his opinion, not 'nerdy inexpedient, but extremely indecent and impolitio. This was only one reason why it met with his opposition. Another, and one . which weighed much more with' him, was, -the state universal distress Which pervaded the country hens one end of it to the other. • While that distress coutinucd, he would not consent to vote a single shilling for any perpose-but one of sibrolute, strict, immediate, and. urgent necessity. Let the 'House cast back their eyes on the transactions of the present Ses sion, and judge if he had exaggerated. the public ca lamity. Let them look at their table, they would see it covered wi t h -Petitions •frorn the Agriculturists. Let-diem look at it again, they would lie it covered with the complaints of the Manufacturers—Glasgow in ruins, Leeds suffering extreme distress, Birming ham hardly able to support itself. Lett -them con tinplate the aid which, contrary to eVely_prineiple of political economy, had been afforded to - thivstsrier country in consequence of die failure in :•thst-couir try of eleven Buks cut of fourteen—(Hearamar),-. The Noble Lord said, that the sum required *at cm3ll. It might be small compared with the extra. ;nonce that pervaded all the prectsttliup of his bin- _ _ =~' Newspapers po rn-, - peons accounts of the sumpt uous b anquet . A ll the decorationsof the persons e 11 die erappings 1- of the Horse Guards and the Foot Guards, loaded, with the finery by Which the military of this Country; Were at once encenibered and disgraced,, would be, minutely described. When these statements reached the country—when the starving individuals at Man thester, at' seeds, at Glasgow, at' Birmingham, read that 4105,000 of the.'public money had been thus wasted at a time when Hundreds of families rose- in the morning without 'knowing where they should , find food for the day,- what emotion was it likely' would be excited but that of the liveliest indignation? 'Was it too ranch, when existing misery on the one hand was thus contrasted with intended magnificence on the other; to ask Miuisters.to stop, and endeavour to allay rather 'Han increase ibe ferment ? But was it distress alone that prevailed in the country ? Did not every-measure taken by Ministers shew that there .vas not only distress, but in their opinion at least, a great want of fidelity to the Constitution? Had they not been building Barracks everywhere? Barracks at Manchester, at Oldham, at Glasgow,.Barracks even in the City of London--one in the City-road, the other on the other side of Waterloo Bridge!— And for what purpose were all these preparations? To keep down, by military despotism, the effects of the distresses of the people. Even the East India Company were kind enough to raise a regiment of Volunteers, in order to assist in imposing fetters on the people. To whatever extremities the people might go; whatever outrages they might commit.— (Hear, hear, hear);—he had no difficulty in repeat ing those expressions —to whatever extremities the people might go ; whatever outrages they might commit; he said, and he believed in his conscience, they were driven by the extravagance of the Minis ters of this country, by their desertion of duty, by wanton disregard of public economy, by their con tempt of justice, and by the injury and oppression to which they had subjected the people r —(Hear t hear, hear).—Did the Noble - Lord and his Right Honourable Colleague, think that their. clamours,. aided by the military, and even by the East India. Company's Volunteers, would keep down the people? The cause of justice would ultimatelyjorevail. There was still among the people of Englinjthat spirit and that perseverance which would ensure its triumph (Hear, hear).—Hitherto the people had endured their , sufferings with patience; but there was a limit beyond which human nature would not endure—(Hear,hear4 If the Noble Lord and the Right Honourable Gentle man opposite persevered in their present course, that. limit would soon be passed, and the guilt of what must follow would fall on the heads of the oppr sors. He had thought it his duty to state his semi meats on this occasion. Looking at the events the last-few years, he strongly felt that no Bill or Bills would have the effect of restraining the general discontent; and he believed, in his conscience, that there never existed in any country a large portion of disaffection, which was not attributable to the -mis, conduct 41 the' Government—Wear, .Asir!) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ex-L . pressed his surprise at the observations of the•Ho4 nourable and Learned Gentleman, as he haJ allowed the subject to 'sleep so long unnoticed. The' Hoy nourabie and Learned Gentleman knew of it longs ego from the King's Proclamation. The 'Honour= able and Learned Gentleman knew of it when he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) opened his state-) meet of ihe finances of the country. He had, how vier, elsoien to wait until a considerable experise had incomes'', and when tee question was, not so much whether the public money should' be voted, but whether the tradesmen who had been employed should be honourably paid? He wished the Honour able and Learned Gentleman to consider, whether, when the complaint from man y parts o f the country was of a want of employment, the occurrence of such a great public solemnity as that in contemplation was not peculiarly desirable, giving work, as it must, to many branches of the unoccupied ? The Hon. and Learned Gentleman must know that the sum voted from theiriblic purse would form but a small part of the money that would be expended on the occa= sion. He must know that the expense to which the higher classes of society would be put in consequence of the approaching solemnity, would very much ex-• coed the amount to be taken from the public purse. lie oust know that the whole of this expenditure would go to enliven industry, and employ the ma, aulacturers, who •were in want of such a stimulus.— The Honourable and Learned Gentleman must knew, that the peculiar grievance in the country was the want of animation which trade experienced. Above all Ones, therefore, the present was the time in which an ancient engem, which would contribute to pro duce that animation, ou.ght not to be relinquished. As the Honourable and Learned Gentleman asserted that . there was a want of fidelity to the Constitution on the part of the People, could there be a better occa sion on which that disaffection might be diminished than one in which the:Monarch on the one hand pro mised protection, while the People on the other pledged themselves to pay the tribute of their ante ? Was the present a time to depart - from an an cient usage of that nature? Was ft a time to elnin don those.forms which our ancestiirstad - established, and which had so long been maintained? Was it not rather a titneat width, with all due attention to - economy, the most venerable aisd splendid cere- . -mOny of our Constitution ought toile properly ob.' served? The Honourable and Learftid Gentlemen had gone .rather •to 'extremities in his speech. ;He had, by anticipation, apologised for nay eutriges to which he thought lse Penple Wouldlse pro pled by the, extravagance of ../finistersiDr. On here erpreucd his disseit agtess e _take).— e hoped then that he had misunderstood the Honour able and 'Learned*Gentleman, and he was -persuaded it would give . friouse . satiffectinn, If: the !Hon. end .Learned Usatleman-could : eapluin tbe-aspressions .so which he (the Chancellor of tlic.gac)i que!).aUusied.

Why thew-49011,1A: Majesty's ''Sitiasers propiise such a proceeding at this inoineot ? It was not indispen s ably necessary , that ark Majesty should be crowned immediately. His lite Majesty ; was not crowned until thirteen months after his Ac cession. He thought, therefore, that as there was no other mode of repressing tumult outhis occasion than by calling out an extraordinary number of the military, the danger likely ro arise had better be avoided by postponing the Coronation for the present. Mr. WILSON said, it was not by any means his intention to prejudge the guilt or innocence of her Majesty, but he thought it would be derogatory from the dignity of the Crown to refuse at present the sum proposed to defray the expenses of his Majesty's Co ronation.- It was rather odd that those Gentleinen who had now objected to this ceremony had not, on tiny forrder Occasion, signified their disapprobation of its taking place at the tune proposed. Any objec tiOn on that head ought to . have appeared, if at all made, at an earlier period. Mr. BENNETT said, that the Honourable Gently man who had just sat down, had accused his (air. Bennett's) side of the House for not having taken air 'earlier. opportunity of opposing the Coronation of his Majesty at the period proposed. Who was it that proposed that Coronation--who was it that di rected the erection of the works for it ? It was his Majesty's Ministers—not the Oppoiiiion ; and neither he nor his friends had any opportunity of speaking on the subject until it came fairly before the House. If it had so happened that he (Mr. Bennett) and his HonOurable Friends had gidvised this proceeding, and that Ministers bad opposed it, the worthy Member (Mr. Wilson) would have devised some ingenious ar gument to shetv that Ministers were right, and that their opponents were wrong—(d laugh).—He now came to the question more immediately before the - Bogie- He could not help feeling that nothing was, more likely to excite public indignation, than to find *at while one House was agitating a Bill of Pains and Penalties againu her Majesty, the other was em lilt:led in voting a mm of money to be expended is the pageantry. and stew of the Coronation of thy' king. 'Historians had remarked, that in the reign ok Henry the Eighth the public mind had been muds' agitated, while proceedings were pending against tho Queen of that Monarch, at observing the festivities, and pageantry of the. Court. He thought it not un.i. ,likely that a similar feeling would be entertained. now; if it was found, that while the ceremony of the Co. , ronation was going on in Westminster Abbey, a 818 of Pains and Penalties was pending against the Queen. • Mr. r. ROBINSON observed, that if the H3nonr- Learned Member '-- Ole and _ (L)r. Lushington), sehos ad spoken on the other side, had felt half the :set and earnestness which - appeared in the delivery of hie speech, be ought to have called the attention of House to this subject at a much earlier period. Hi ought to have objected to the first step taken in pre paring for the Coronation ; he had not, however done so, and therefore he (Mr. Robinson) could not help saying, that the Honourable Member was wrong in.now obcting so the expenses necessary to carry lag that object into effect. It was objected that so largea sum should be expended in the mere pagean try of a Coronation, and that too while a Bill M Pains and Penalties was pending against her Majesty. He chisied that the Coronation was a .pageantry. Let the Honourable Member loot to 'the preamble to the Act of King William, and be would find that the Coronation was anything but a parade. The King was bound to take certain oaths, and it would be a fault in Ministers to delay his Majesty's doing so. The King and Queen were there to take the oaths—(A laugh).—Gentlemen might laugh, but he could inform them, that the Queen, as mentioned in that preamble, did not mean a Queen Consort.-- The Hon. Member ,then read the oaths which his Majesty was bound to take, • that be was bound to govern the country according to the statutes, that he should administer justice in mercy, that he would maintain the religion of the country as by law esta blished," Would the House, after this, say that she Coronation was a matter of choice ? He main tained it wep matter of law, and could not be dis - with—(llmr, hoev).—This being the case, w could his Majesty's Ministers have justified them es' hi advising the postponement of so important asseesiere? Nest came the objection in point of time. se remembered that, six months since, a great abjection was, that it was to take place in the dog days.: however this might be, -he was sure that: Christmas would be 'found a much more incon venient period. The public curiosity would nittu rally be excited on the occasioh, and Ministers would • no small portion of blame, if a period-was 'lnd when the ceremoay of the Coronation could set be witnessed at all. Mr. W.. -SMITH asked If any 'Member of the House believed that theting, after having taken the; -before thetiPriil Couitcil, was notiully to exercise all the functions of Royalty, add voiteisr, if so, lie was not equally botin d . to mega; - thdC:iroliation took place or not ?It was 'd by the Chancellor of the •Exchequer, that the of the Coronation was necessary, that it was used ; for hit' port he thought it was a • More honoured in the breach than the observance. • a periqd . like the present, he thought _ Ilion becoming to observe-the :stoic rarrsiiiionious economy.

Thineniourable Merober made some observations on the necessity of having an effec tive Police in this country. "It was not to be borne, he said, that on the going•abbut of.a ft* disorderly boys or other riotous characters, the Military were to be incessantly called out, unless, indeed, t he P eop l e were to be told, 'that they ikeie to'be' kept down by military force. lilge ought - not to•give foieign nations such'an opinion of thisoountry, 'As that nothing - short of military force could preservepeace and good order. Though he felt the propriety at the Coronation of hii Majesty, he thought it necessary that anYthing which irritated the public • nsind •ought to - be . at present `avoided. From these and a vaulty of other Consi derations, he thought it . necessary that the ceremony should be delayed. Sir 41. W. RIDLEY hoped, that should the Coro nation take plice, a due regard would be paid to the encouragement of ritU - manufactuies. fhe article of velvet, particularly, 'ought to be encouraged on this occasion. Itswas true that English velvet could not compete with that of Genoa, yet - it wasequ,dly handsome in appearance. This might appear a tri fling copsiderafion, but he hOped it would not be for gotten by his Majesty's' advisers. hh. TIERNEY said, he was not in the Howe when this question was first agitated ; and even if he had, he was not prepared to give it a negative. He lamented as much as any man that his Majesty should have been advised to fix his Coronation fur the first of August; but he thought it would be a reproach to his Majesty now to say, you should now . stop, you ought not to go any further. He felt satis fied that there were not ten men in that House who did not feel in themselves that there were reasons :against the Coronation at present. For hi:itself, he felt per suaded, when he heard that . Proceedings were to be instituted against her Majesty, that the Coronation would be put off. There was not any period at which public opinion was more engaged. 'The higher, mid dling, and lower classes, were more or less of opinion that her Majesty was injured, or at least that she was in a situation to excite general commiseration. He would ask, if in such a situation of the public mind, it was proper to advise the Coronation of jesty ? It was said to be necessary. Ile denied that there was any necessity. If the Act specified a few months, be should agree to the necessity, brit it was known to be a matter of 'convenience._ His late Majesty's Coronation was delayed, as he-was about to espouse the late Queen, in ruler to have their Majesties crowned together. He could not con ceive any advice more cruel, unkind, or unfriendly, thin that given to the King by his Ministers. Up6n the heads of these Ministers then be the responsibi lity—(Dear, hear). He hoped, however, that the •temper of the people would be such as to restrain them within proper bou n d s . H e wo uld ask any man whether this was a moment to be' selected for a Co ronation, when hei Majesty was residing in a misera ble house in Portman-street ?—(Hear ; hear). The ' Chancellor of the Exchequer had argued, that the Coronation would be of service, a s it would give en.- • ployment to many persons now idle. This argument would bold equally good, if it were propmed to raise additional troops, - or to buildiet a greater nuniber of barracks. Howeter, those who grumbled were per. Sons who did act derive any benefit from-the employ ment, but who bore the greater part of the expense. He had been twenty-:five yews in Parliament, and during that period be had never wi:neesed greater profusion and useless expenditure than by isistiLap jesty's Ministers. The Honourable Member observed, that he-would not oppose the Motion, as be had, no means of doing so without :hewing disrespect to his Sovereign ; but let the great and painful respopsi. bility rest with his - Majesty's Ministers—itieer,'hier). Mr. RICARDO was of opinion, that though fo reign articles were worn at 'the Coronation, yet, as those articles were purchased by the produce aims industry, our trade must be equally benefited by the consumption. The House then resolved into a Committee, when the following sums were voted: To defray the Expenses of his Majesty's Commation..:XlQS,9oo For the Commissariat Service, In:laud 1.0017 For the Barrack &Torment, 'lreland For the ArmrEstraordineries, Ireland e 90,000 The House iesumed.—Report to-morrow NEW "BANE NOTRE.
