HOUSE OF LORDS, TIIIUMIDAT, MAT lb. the incurrence of debt. In concluding, the Not I. Mi nister observed, that no more was asked for than was provided by the Act of 1,816; the principle of public economy was strictly attended to, and no more pro posed than was evidently required, in order to support the constitutional honour and dignity of the Crown. He then moved, " That this Bill be now read the se cond time." Lord KING expressed his disapprobation of the proposed measure in various points of view. The Bill seemed to him to be couched with studied and& gaily ; and there still appeared to be the same per plexity in all the accounts of the Civil List; and this embarrassment, instead of being removed, was, he thought, increased by the classifications. The Bill, he contended, wait nut founded, nor intended to he, on principles of economy, otherwise the areangensest of 11..16 wonld not be chosen as a precedent. He adduced some instances, which J;...t thought showed that the principle of real economy was disregarded, and be held himself justifying in advancing, that the radical view in the expenditure of the Government was profusion, and the absence of due controul. The boasted princi ple of classification iodated no real advantage; indeed he thought the ancient mode less disadvantageous. In the department of the Foreign Ministers of this coun try, he thought the individuals were the best paid, and their duty the worst performed, of any belonging to any power in Europe. The Bill included no general view of the expenses of the Civil Government, and no satisfactory statement or calculation appeared on the face of the Bill, and be must repeat, the principle of public economy was totally disregarded. In illustra tion, he went into some brief details of the propor.e.l expenditure, particularly with respect to the Royal Family ; nor could lie see a stronger reason for on meting the expenses of the Crown itself with the Civl Departments, t han with the military, or any other branch of the expenditure. The Bill, as proposed, he certainly disapproved of _ . _ _ \, fl. Vol. I. and 11., ai,d all the foria..r parts. each coo ..t.ininic a somplolo vor., uia be had of limy Bookseller.

Lord ERSKINE presented a petition from a consi derable number of Agriculturists and occupiers of Land in the county of Suffolk. Ilia Lordship took occasion to make several remarks upon the subject, chiefly in an under tone of voice, and particularly observed, that the wish of the petitioners was to he placed in a situation wherein they may derive those advantages which Par liament certainly intended they should have.

I refused to tell him where I lived, and left him without any further conversation taking place. About twelve o'clock at noon. as Edwards itad proposed my meeting him at Cleambers's that 'stetting, I called upon Chambers. whom I know perfectly well, to inform hint of the conversation that had taken place between Etwards and me, and at the seise time I cautioned him to be aware of Edwards, as I judged him to be a desperate character. Chambers thanked we for my advice, and said he would be cautious of him, for be did not like him himself. X I. Edwards, daring the lost two or three years, made at• tempts to form an acquaintance with Dr. Watson. about the time of the second Smithfield meeting, where Dr.W. presided as chairman (after the siamithter at Manchester), and whoa • resolution was passed. to the effect that the Bill of Right, guaranteed the right to the people to have arms in their pos session, and, according to Judge Blatkatone, that rusisinmeei to oppression was a constitutional right. Edwards met Dr. W. in the street. and after asking some questions prefer to be seswered, pulled out of his pocket a pistol, sod mud. he always kept slick things in readiness to do the business of some of the rascals. Dr. W. said he certainly bad a right to have arms In his possession. blot he most be careful how. and for what purpose' be made me of them. and instantly parted from him. Three or four weeks previous to the unhappy Cato-street affair, Edwards came twice into Whitecroas-street prisoa. l with Thistlewood, to see Dr. W. While walking the Park oo the first visit, he made else of strong inflammatory language, declaring that a climate of Government was mbar at hand; that he, Dr. IV.. would soma be at liberty, and wished him to write something to roam the people. He remained but a short time ; Dr. W. *ea cautioned him against any Push or illegal conduct. On the mooed visit. Dr. W. immediately took Thistieweod aside, gave him his opinion of Edwards; told him bethought hint a dangerous character, expressed himself sorry to see him in his company, aid requested him to bring him no more Into the prison. Dr. N. saw Thistiewood but once afterwards, when ha, left him a few shillings which had been subscribed for him; at which time Dr. W. again warned Thistlewood to be ente ral of Edwards ; that he had a very bad opinion of Ma.

CIVIL J.IPT PILL. The Order upon whitta their Lordships were sum moned being read, The Earl of LIVERPOOL, pu suant to his notice, rose to move the second reading of the above Hill. He did not consider, be observed, that inquiry, previous to the introduction of the measure, was necessary; and upon two grounds ;—first, because no measure of the kind had heretofore been preceded by inquiry; and, secondly, because the whole subjcrt underwent a thorough invetoigation in the Session of 1816, re specting which a full report had been before Parlia ment and the public, and upon which Parliament had deliberately decided upon an arrangement. In his first gracious communication from the Throne, his Majesty expressed his wish that the arrangement should be founded upon the principle o oich governed that of 1816. The measure then before their Lordships ac cordingly proceeded upon that principle, with some comparatively slight variations corresponding with the altered state of the Sovereign, from the capacity of Regent to that of King. Nothing more was required than what bad been determined upon in 1816, and be was sure that neither the feelings nor the liberality of Parliament would induce it to awesome the arrange ment so as to make it depend upon the variations in price of the articles of life from one year to another. No stable ground could indeed be rested on such &princi ple. An important alteration was made in the arrange ment of the Civil Li•t expenditure by Mr. Burke's Bill, and more particularly by the Act of 1816, when. through the principle of clussitication, an important beck was plated upon the expenditure of the Civil List ; and it was•esperially provided, that where the 'expenditure in any one year fortn-d an excess of 5.1100/., a particul it account of the whole expendi ture of :he Civil List in such year should be laid before Parliament. He then particularly adverted to the ,bird class, which included the allowances to &tubas- iadors to foreign Courts, and which, as all the others, was calculated and - arranged with a view to strict eco nonty—with a view to the particular nature of the case. He was, as be had said on a former evening, opposed to the principle of separating the exposes* of the Crown itself from the other great departments of the State—there existed not the smallest ground for altering the course long pursued by Parliament in that respect. The King was constitutionally regarded not only; as the bead of the Executive, but the fountain of all power, dignity, and honour; and on the whole it was deemed the wiser course to connect the King in such a measure with the Civil (government of the coun try. Adequate provisions were adopted for preventing the Civil List fr..nt running into debt, and it was com petent for Parliament to call for annual accounts if deemed proper. With respect to the casual revenues of the Crown, a new arrangement was adopted is and by the present Act an additional security was given to Parliament and the public, with respect sit a due appropriation of the expendiittre, and against
