Part of the increase of lye e x pense had arisen from the delay that had h ers place from 1821 to 1821. His Right Honour able Friend had not the means of being sti ictly ac estate, as there bad been no similar case for sixty A pr,. In point of fact , the sum o f hal f a m illion esidby France had never been appropriated by any ; goo f Parliament. A considerable part of that sum ta d , by the sole act of the Crown, been applied to &fortifications of the Netherlands. It was, there ke, competent for the Crown to apply the money to the ot penses of the Coronation. He must oppose &proposed motion. c o lonel DAVIES thought, it impossible to.justify thee:tome incurred, which was in the teeth of the AppropriAtion Act. Mr. RENNET blamed the expenditure at the Co ronation, which he should always call a wicked one. Mr. COF.LW&N thought the. House should have a feller aconent of this expenditure ; but be hoped the Honourable Gentleman would not press his motion to a division. Mr. BROttgAM considered the expenditure as eostetirmagantai-014,000 for a dress was shock ing—(llear, hear). He would not be deterred •by diese cheers—he knew Uri, was a delicate subject, but be would do his duty to the People. He did not hold the Catenation as a light or unnecessary ceremony ; on the contrary, in our trim iichical form of Govern ment, ie tvai a ceremony highly im . .urtant ; but still 616nm:ion; and prifuse expenditure was not to be tolerated. lie had heard it said that the Crovril was biredfor a dry at a large sum, and had unfortunately, a; he was now informed, been kept ever since at an expense of several thousands a-year. Ile trusted, on jogairy, this would turn out not to be correct. He mast here also adveit to another subject, namely— the great inconvenience which had arisen, and still a:groaned to arise, from the want of accommodation s the Coolly of Law in Westminster Hall. He par itsla: ly called the attention of the Chancellor of the Ilithequer to thi, subject. Mr. 'moil r must protest against the doctrine of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that the Crown had setter of appmpriating money without the sanc- Ye of PArliament. Sr F. BLAKE said, as it now appeared, we stood cc pretty situation ; for France had paid more than ee-half of the expense of his Maje.ity's Coronation. 'his was not as it Oroilld be, or as it was formerly. Mr. HOBHOUSE expressed his hope that some Gentleman would propose to renew Mr. Ponsonby's Sill, for preventing the necessity of a renewal of Commissions, in case of the clernise of the Crown; as, by such a renewal, £70,000 would be put into the pocket of the Chancellor for the time being. The Gallery was then cleared for a division. For going into &Committee, I to—Against it, 65.1—Majority, 45. Os reaJmission the House was in a Committee of Supply, discussing a vote of a sum of £469,009, for the Civil Contingencies for 1898. Mr. RUNE wished for a detailednceotint of the mann in which theaum voted for Civil Contingerf eies year was nioprOriated. Mr. LtIgHINGTON sttjd,le had no objection to dismount being laid belpre the House. Mr. HUME objected to the item for the Rbyil Yachts. He saw here, a charge for keeping up nine yachts; this, in his opinion, was a number beyond vim his Majesty could require, who only went to stance a year. He thought also, after the *torn *sedation of the Committee of Finance, the Yachts slight to be charged on the Civil List, and not amongst the Civil Contingencies. tr. ARBUTHNOT said, the recommendation vas-thst this item should be an annual charge, and stbe put asa permanent charge on the Civil List. Mr. BERNAL said, there was a charge of 3800 *Odd pounds to Thomas Henry Flaskett, Esq. as Sep - sintendant of Aliens. New there had already inn MOO granted in the Miscellaneous Estimates;' leconld not understand, therefore, how it was that this= of £3BOO, was now proposed in the vote of ova Contingencies. Mr. Alt BUT H NOT said, the sum of 5,0001. in'the liscdlaneous Estimates, though it was voted, was sot appropriated, and therefore it was necessary to tale 3,600/. now. Mr. HU M E said, there was another vote, whiCh lie Considered of more importance than any he had t mentioned, and that was, the expenditure of Fo n* Ambassadors. The sums paid under this head lereenormoss, though, in point of fact, we might 2, *di have no Ambassadors at foreign parts, for !it knew nothing of what was going forward there. He particularly adverted to an item of 1,500. for ow& to Mr. Wynn, our Minister to. Switzer land; and *OW to Sir William A'Court. Now, above the :WOOL regular charge on the Civil List ter bassulorsi there was a sum of 61,000 1 . charged in, "Nil Contingencies; and he shOuld propose to reduce the rote 52,70- • Mr.CANNING said, that with reference to the expenditure of the foreign embassies, he could assure the ll*.

So long as the scale of expenditure of 1816 was re cognized in this branch, and not exceeded by the Crown, there ‘s, *slang'', .and for the proposed reduction. Mr. LENNARD complained, that this item of , npenditure was extravagant, and he should not con- L wrier Iwhad dose hi% duty until he had again brought . • this Tubject before the Honse.—lle gallery was then cleared_for a division: _ Par tee . ttetn - To Fes die 31.inewhowat . . l6 • Majority for the Resolution —54 Several other items were (Metaled,' the Hattie reiumed, and the Cootanxo obtained leave tosit *gain on Wednesday.

In the Privy Council a question of much interest, in point of hereditary right, and of importance in point of law, will be tried, by appointment, on Sa turday next, at twelve o'clock. On the occasion of the Coronation of his MAJESTY, ARCHIBALD Lord DotroLAs, of Douglas, presented his Petition to the Court of Claims, praying to be allowed to execute the duty of a high office, that of bearing Me Im perial Crown of Scotland," which he maintained be, .longed to bins as having succeeded, by the judg ment of the House of Lords, in 1796, as heir of pro vision to the Duke of DouoLAs; his untie, through his mother, Lady JANE DOUGLAS, sister of the Duke. The claim was opposed by his Grace the Duke of IlAsitLrow, and on this occasion it was not allowed to either of the Noble Claimants. — On the occasion of his MAJESTY'S Visit to Scot land LOrd DOUGLAS again made the claim, by pe tition to the KING in Council, to carry the Crown at 'Royal processions in Scotland. No time being then permitted to investigate the matter, hie MAJESTY rip• pointed the Duke of Hastxt.tort to 'carry the Crown. which he did, but that was granted without prejudice to the claim made by Lord notiotAts, which claim will now be investigated. Lord DotnaLars maintains that the Crown was always carried by the Earls of ANGus ; and he having, by the judgment of the; House of Lords, succeeded to the heritable estates, that right descends, as patrimonial, with the titles of the territorial property. The Duke of HAMIL TON opposes him, and denies that this is the case, because the honours an‘i privileges were pemonal, and conferred on the Earls of Asous and heirs male only, independent of the territory or 'estate. Because it is impossible to conceive thatjewrales could inherit, as they could not perform such duties, arid Lord DOUGLAS succeeded through a female. They did not pass by the titles relied on by laird DOUGLAS. They %% ere not annexed to the landed property, to which Lord DOUGLAS succeeded, but to the " Putt AGE" of ANGus, to which he can make no claim, the Duke of HANlaLrosr being in right of that dignity, as representative of the illustrious House of DouGLas, being the hair male, to whom it was limited, and many other grounds of opposition are to be stated and main tained by the .Duke of HAMILTON. on the occasion. FRENCH PAPERS ,OF -hAXUBDAY AND SUNDAY. 'flax THE QUOTLDIENNIL PARIS, JUN; e. Government has received dispatches from Madrid, which ate dated the 2d inst. That capital tchanks to the indefatigable activity of the French Command ants!) was perfectly tranquil, and every day demon strates•how greatly the sentiments of the people are, at variance truth those of the Revolutionists. We have certain advice., that the principal Mem bers of the Cortes had fled. Meantime the inhabi tants of Madrid are full or confidence. The Membarc of the Regency meet every day, and the people re mark, not without surprise, that neither the Prince; nor any of the French Authorities, ever interfere with their proceedings. The tole object of the French is to preserve the publiC tranquillity. The city of Toledo had subedited to the Regency ; and it is not doubted that this, example will shortly be imitated by all the Cities of Spain: The Prince of Carignan has taken the direction for Seville, with the advanced guard of the French army. We have received fresh intelligence from the -Head. quarters of General the Marshal Mousey, dated .at Gerona on the 2d of June. After inspecting-the dif fetent corps, the Marshal had-repaired toVtch, where he arrived on the day of the Festival of St.Ferditinndi' which had been delayed on account of the movetham. of the army. It is impossible to describe the trans: ports of joy witnessed by the Marshal, or to give even an idea of the blessings that were heaped on Mail Not a day pasted that deserters from Mina's artily were not arriving from the lesser towns of Catalonia, who sought the protection of the French. An entire company, with two officers at their head, bad aban doned the cause of Mina. The arrival of the corps under General Molitor *as expected to infuse new vigour into our operations. We are assured that there are 5,000 sick in the fort of St Sebastian, while the garrison is destitute of pro vitibns, and had no apparent means of obtaining them. PROM IIIsfILOTZ Cli According to news which we comiider certain, the COrtes held on the 23d May an extremely stormy Sitting, in which some perfidioui maChinations were denounced, and severe measures adopted. It was in this Sitting that the plan for transferring the Govern- Mertt and the King out of die Continent was dejected, by a majority of eight Votes, and the departure for Cadii decreed . lmost unanimously.

One of the Journals states that Letters have been re ceived at Paris from Seville, dated the 22d of May, at which period the g, reatest tranquillity prevailed in that city, and the Cotes peaceably- continued their labniirs. For several days, says the &ode, the Liberal Jour. nals have repeated that the King of Spain has quitted Seville to proceed. to Cadiz. The last accounts from Seville are of thet6th, and there was then no talk of the departure of the King fur Cadiz. his billieifed that if he wets to quit Seville it would rather go to Badajos.

A courier was dispatched to the French, and the next day several officers cattle in to make ar rangements for quarters, rations, etc. and it was agreed that they should enter one day sooner. The 22d all was quiet. On the 23J, at five in the morn• ing, a division of about 4000 French arriseJ, Zayas and his troops having previously retired. As soon as it was known the people assembled, relieved from the -fear they had been in, and immediately began to pull down the Lapida of the Constitution, in the great square, replacing it with the king's picture. This might be about six o'cleck : the Lapida was broke into a hundred thoissand pieces. From this they went to the Cortes, broke the doors open, broke the chan deliers, the chairs, benches, figures, and statues— otbers on the outside were busy is defacing the sta tues in the niches and windows. - " From the library they took all the records, acts, and diaries of the Corte., tore them up, and then threw them into a large bonfire made for the purpo,e. By ten o'clbck all the balconies in the obscure as %ell as principal +streets were hung with tapestry and silks ; the King's picture was placed in all the public build ings; the crowds increased in all directions; the houses of many of the citizens who had been violent Constitutionalists, mere especially in the distant and out quarters, were attacked, entered, and their furni- tare and property brought out and destroyed. At twelve at noon the book of the ConAitution and giego's picture were burnt iu the Plaza Mayor by the common hangman. More ti °ri e s at riving. all the posts were covered, sentries placed i,i every oirection, and a stop put to further excesses. foe old Autho rities were displaced, and new ones appoilited. Pro clamations were issued. Two in particul.ar < f im portance: the one by which no persons eho have served the late Government, or have been militiamen, should be eligible to employments ; the other, that the acts of the late pretended Cortes- would not be re cognized, and that things will be placed on. the ft ing as before, As if that had never exi•ted. These were signed by tne Provisional Junta, Lilo, Egnia, and Calderon. "In the evening there was tt very• general and brilliant illumination.

With Leuva la Constitution v% ere con stantly hettrd, but I must say the absence of re spectable people was remarkable;—the absence of Court is, • indeed,. at all times, felt at Maiiiid; but independent of this it was more vacant thaw ever.
