Mr. Brogden brought up the Irish privately Stealing Bill, which was read a ant time. Several private Bill. were brought op by Mr. Shaw Le fevre and Other Members. The Earl of LAU I/Fitt/ALE postponed the motion relative to Coinage and Currency, of which lie had given 'mice fur to morrow, until Monday mese The maequi k of DoVIINSIIIRE again bronght forward the motion which be had proposed ye4erday, for as Address to She Princeitegent, requesting that his Royal Highness would be pleomid to order an account of the present Income of the Primers of the Royal Family to be laid before the House. The tempo(, She minion which bad beets objected to being altered, it saw passed nerd. di,. ROYAL. MARRIAOES. The Earl of LIVERPOOL basing moved the Or. der of the Day, the Prince Regent's Message was read by the Clerk. The Noble Earl thee rose Ire propose an answer to the communication theil Lord ships had just heard. The Noble Lord who yestere. day moved an Arneedment on the motion, that the. Order be discharged, in stating his objections ter the* motion, intimated, that if the Address to be moved were such a one as he proposed, namely, contain ing merely en assurance that their Lordships would concise in making a suitable arrangement for the in tended marriages, it would meet with no objection from him.—(Dear!]—lle had so understood the Noble Baron. The Address which he intended to move would, therefore, be one on which no digeience of opinion could be expected. It would not pledge their Lordships to any opinion, either us to the *bole, or as to any part of the arrangement. Its purport would he merely to thank his Royal Royal Highness the Prince Regent for the communication he had been pleased to make, and to express the dis position of this House to concur in making a suitable provision for the events contemplated in the Mes sage. Though this was a motion which Le might be warranted in making, without any prefatory etude. 'ninon whatever. yet he was confident that there were no recent instinces of such art Address being pro posed in which it had not been expected of Ministers to stale what were the views they entertained Oh the subject. Some questions would likely be asked, and it was to he expected that Ministers would be tidied upon to state what they intended ultimately to propose. Their Lordships were aware, however, that, according to the practice of the Constitution, nu arrangement which might be made on the present occasion could he proposed for the immediate consi• deration of thet House. It must originate elsewhere, , and it was impossible for the Executive Government to see what might he the fate of any proposition which might he made in that place. It might under. go modifirations, or it might he rejected entirely.-- But their Lordships' security was, that it must come before them in the shape of a Bill, on which they would have the opportunity of finally giving their decision. lie might, therefore, hilly consider him self precluded from the necessity of any explanation; but the usual practice preyed, that their Lordships did consider that the Ministers of the Crown ought to state the nature of the measure which itl was in "tended to submit in the other House. Sach had been the course lie had followed some years ego, and in the year 11315, when he thought it necessary to give a full explanation of the intended measure. If, how. ever, there were any occasion in which he could he more entities than another to give an explanation to their Lordships of the views entertained by his Ma. jesty's Ministers on a measure to be submitted to them, the present was that occasion. Whatever dif ference of opinion might arise—whatever might be the result of the proposition, he should feel that he was not acting a candid and manly part, if he did riot coma forward and state, not only the arrangement his Majesty's Ministers thought it their duty to advice, but the grounds on which it had been resolved to propose that arrangement. In considering the question which would hereafter arise, their Lordships would have to look et the stature of the case to be providedfor. They all recr.llected the great and deep calamity which rimmed its November last, in thedeath ;of her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte. After the first ebullition of feeling occasioned by that cala mity—which never could be mentioned without sen sations of pain and regret—had subsided, the general question which every one asked himself, and asked Isis neighbour, was, how will this event operate on the succession to the CIOWIS ? Tight was a question which naturally arose from the state of the Royal Family. Ilis Majesty, they all knew, had been blessed with numerous issue; but it was singular that, of the twelve using descendants of his Ma jesty, seven Princes and live Princesses, the 3 oung. est Prince was now 41 years of age, • and there was not one of the Princesses under 41. %Viten he stated this cireunistance, and dist there was at pre sent no descendant from any of the married branches of the family, he thought their Lordships would tint think it unadaisable to take measures to guard against any unfortunate contingency which might arise with regard to the succession. The situation in which the Royal Family stands with respect to issue, must surely he regarded as au object to which it was the duty of the Executive Government to pay attenti..n. Their Lordships might recollect that, in the speech from the Throne, at the commencement of the Ses shin, a direct reference bed been made to this subject. Parliament %%9S then informed, that the subject was under the consideration of the Executive Govern meat ; and its the Addresses of both Houses, thanks were expressed for the communication, and satisfac tion expressed that attention was to be paid to so important an object. Under these circumstances the present measure must be considered as of no conimon stamp, but as one of great political expediency and urgency. Their Lordships had heard, from she Mes sage, the slate in which the business sibw remains.— It announce' that two marriages are in the course of negotiation ; at the same time it was to be under tuod) that other cases might arise to which it•would be Me field, and Srometr died el As sclobl." . . . appear fair that the same principle which goverped the arrangement for these two marriages ought to be applied. H. thought it much better to took sit the case in a general point of view, and to consider what °matt to be done on the whole, than to diacusiesth seearitecase.—Ltlear, hear ;),-41e did lint mean to say that Parliament were not te consider the easel le parately. as they arose ; bet certainly each. separate case. would come more conveniently seder the Or* of the House, after some general principle applicable to the whole bed been adopted. It was possible that, for the convenience of the litecutive Government, another course might have been preferable; bet tight, to whirl he bad recommended the raying down a ge neral principle, was certainly the moat candid both toward+ Parliament and the country. Having trou bled their Lordships with this general view of the subject, he should now atale the particular measures which it bad been' thought right to advise. It had i been proposed to grant to the first of the Princes, - mimed in the Message, his Royal nighties' the Duke of Clarence, the annual SLIM or 19,5001., which would make up his present income to 40,0:101. a-year. In the Duke of Cambridge it was proposed to grant 12,0001. which would raise his income to 30,0001. — The grant proposed to be made to the Duke of Kent, under the like continency, was similar. In making this proposition, and bringing the subject before their Lordships, he felt it a veld be his duty to recom ',wild that a corresponding provision should be made for the Duke of Cumberland. What he bed stated • oulti put their Lordships in possestion of the whole of the measure which he bad thought it his duty to recotimend, and he had now to - stale - tho grounds upon which it bad been thought proper , to propose a differ. ence in the sums to be granted. It appeared to him, and he doubted not would an appear to their Lord ships, that she case of the Duke of Clarence would come before them under circumstances a hich must ma terially distinguish it from the cases of his Royal brothers. He slid not indeed Maori ill the situation of Heir Apparent to the Throne; but he was the next heir after the Prince Retied and the Duke of York ; and lottlOng at she coutingencies which might arise, the Executive Government did not think that it could be regarded as unrest...noble to follow the pre cedent of 1792, when the Dike of York was mar. tied. As resat period the Duke of yolk was not nearer in the Crown thaii th.. Duke of Clarence is lino. The prepositien, however, which was thee submitted to Parliament by Mr. Pitt was, that the income of tee Duke of Yofk, including what be dertied from his Regiment of Guarde, bhould be raised to 40,0(X)i. Al the distance of 25 years, with the did...relic, which has since arisen in she value of motley, hr never could thick that a proposition to grant the came income, under similar circumstances, to the Duke of Offence, was anrealneable. It ap pelted to him, that Ministers were fully justified in makiste that precedent the foundation of the measure they intended to propose to Parliament. He was old enough to remember the proceeding which took place in Parliament on the marriage of the D ke of York. The proposition then made by Government did not, it was true, pass altogether without objec tion, but it experienced no material opposition. It was supported tint only by the great Minister whose name he bad mentioned, but by another great states. mass, the individual who w esthete at the head of the De position—tie meant the late Mr. Fox.llie wily question that produced any discustiob in the House of Commons was, how far it was proper that informstioss should be given respecting the revenues which his Royal High ness derived from the Bishopric of Ostiaburgh. The call for that information was most powerfully op posed by Mr. Pitt, and still more strongly combated by Mr. Fox, who stated broadly that the House had no right to enquire into what income the Duke of York derived from foreign sources. All that they had to cnnsider NM, what was fit to be given by a British Parliament to a British Prince, ender the cir cumstances of the case. The Measure then passed with the general concurrence of all parties. 0 , 1 that occasion he recollected a remarkable proposition was stated by Mr. Fos relative to the outfit, and which had been acted upon in a measure adopted a few years ago. Mr. Fox urged the necessity of granting a sum by way of outfit ; and observed, that it it was not given, it would be impossible for the Illustrious Prince, considering the extraordinary expences be must incur, to avoid embarrassments. This propo sition was approved '25 years ago ; and if it was rea sonable that the Duke of York should be then al lowed a tient for outfit, he could slot think it unrea lsonable to apply the flume principle to the case of the Duke of Clarence. Theis . Lordships recollected the I joy which had been manifested on the marriage of she Princess Charlotte: The sum then proposed was 60,0001., and no proposition ever experienced greater approbation. Ile did out mesa to say that the cir cumstances were precisely the same. There certain ly was a very evident distinction ; hut was not the diffetence sufficiently Wowed for in she difference of the sum which had been proposed? There had been another case of Royal Marriage, which could not be cited as a precedent, as tin application bad been made to Parliament in consequence of it—he meant the marriage of the Duke of Gloucester and the Princess Mary. No fine could feel "Wore:respect than he did for the motives which induced those Illustrious Per. mitts to abstain from making any application to Par. figment on their union. But in recollecting that no augmentation was proposed to be made to the income of the Duke of Gloucester on that occasion, it was to be considered that. the Government, in acceding to the views of that Illustrious Individual, would no wally consider the state Of the income which he would enjoy by *signet of Parliament, though not made on the occasion of the marriage. Had it not bees, for that consideration, he should not have thought that be had performed his duly if he bad failed 10 advise the illustrious Du' kv to consent to ad application to Parliament for an increase of incense. If perional feelings were to influence his conduct, there certainly wai no Member of the Royal Family whose interest. he would hive been more desieous of promoting; hat It iris his wish to do joitiCe to alt by acting on a general principle; and that, he appre. hehded, Was the coarse Which their Lordships would be inclined to appease. Was known to their Loid shirrs that eight thonSand poen& a year receliedi by the Illustrious Pelsons out of the Consolidated Fund; do iMet including the income of the Prinieit and his ottio; the`Duke of Gloucester had 48i000ts a year; ThiS Certainly . was not 'sierra thin Ili requisite to aeppott the "link and• dignity Of thd Illustrious Duke and his Royal consort. the in: come of the 1/Ai of Gloucester, 4iiit his *thole: men's, sproiinisteit to that Which had twin Sr.: posed for the junior Dukett at' the Royal Faritily,e and he did not think that the proposition to di* 'hi Duke of Clarence 40 ; (7001., ind the others 30,0001.1 could be regarded as an usirtiasbnable propor tion. There was another • cite to whiCh he had Id call the attention of their i.otdships- •t• e meant that of the Duke of Cumberland; When that case wati under consideration, some )eaii age, their Lirdittipt had agreed to an-Address, approving the meassire re commended in the Message. after the other . House' had concurred in voting a similar Addres4, a Brit was introdaced, which was, however, lest in its pro. gress, sod had swear come before th e i r 1, 0 4. 1 fdp., Since that period it had not been thought tepedlent or proper to bring this case again under the ctinsidee; ration of Parliament. But when the cissei Of the other Princes were brought under view, there could be no ground for withholding that of the Mike of Cumberland. Whet reason could be assigned for casting so marked a .tigms on that illustrious person? There had been nothing its his conduct which could justify such a neglect ; and certainly nothing had ape peered in the conduct of the illustrious Princess. hie consort, since she had been in this Country, which could indoence such a proceeding, nr account for the decision which had been come to by the oilier ileums of Parliament. It was therefore considered that a proposition for increasing his, the Duke of Comm.,. land's. income, its the same proportion as that of the other Princes, should be submitted to Parliament.— But it was worthy of their Lordships' consideratioes that the sum proposed to be voted would net long , cootioue a burden. Their Lordships were a worn that a sum had been voted for the payment of the debts of the Prince Regent, and which had been re. gularly applied to that purpose. Ti.e whole of thesal debts would be liquidated its the coots* of • year mod a half, or two years at most. In censequencel of that liquidation, 50,0001. a-year would be sstedi which, with- the ton thousand pounds that had al• reedy fallen in by the death of the Princess Char. lotte, would more than cover the whole of the ad. ditional allowances which it had been proposed to giant. This statement, he hoped, would prove N. tisfactory to those who had intimated an opinion that the money required should be derived front funds now appropriated to the use of the Royal Family.— Various circumstenres had induced bin to captain thus far what had been the intention of his Majesty's Government ; but he was Beate that imptessiono and feelings had been entertained on flat subject which he had not espected, and which he thought ought not to have been entertained. He did not mean, bow. ever, to shank from the avowal of the part be had taken in the question. Ile had done what he conti. dered his deity as a Member of the Prince Regent's Government. Whatever relpenreihility might be at• tached to' the 'measure, lie ass ready to acknowledge that all the onus of that responsibility ought to fall open him. lfe hod, however, now stated what were the feelings of llw illustrious persons who were the objects of the measure. It was not their wishl in the present situation of the country, that any proposition should be urged' beyond what might he considered fair and just, both. in and out of Parliament. Ile knew not iie what !date the measure might come from the other (louse; but if the whole proposition should not be approved of—if any modifications did take place, he hopeil the measure would not be reduced to such a state as to induce the illustrious personages to relinquish their Intended onion, or to ebcounter con• siderable difficulty or embarrassment,if they persist. oil its carrying it into effect. After knelt.; given the most aatious consideration to the subject, he was so. thorised to state, that the illustrious person first named its the Message would be satisfied with about one half of the sum which had originally been pro posed to be given- him by the Esecutive Government. The sums proposed for the other Princes would, in theme of an arrangement founded on this principle being adopted, be reduced in the same proportion,-... But the measure would come before their Lordships in the shape of Bills, when the details could be more conveniently discessed. The Noble Earl concluded with an Address in the terms stated in the commence• ment of his speech. Lord Ki NG declared, tbst neither be nor any mats Could feel the least objection to that part of the Ad. dress which merely went to congretnlate his Royal Highness on the approaching marriage. of his Royal Brothers, but he did certainly feel h decided objet. lion to that part which pledged the House to increase the burden; of the People. He lamented thet the present subject had been ;unposed to Parliament at tne present tooment, when there was in the country a very goners! disinclination to accede to it. and he should Immo if the Howie, by showing any zest towards it, should compromise itself in the f ind opini , n of the People. The "telde Earl in po•itse had spoken of the arrangements bade en tle DAS of Yesk'smarriage, and erqued on them ‘,ll a prece. dent; but he had forgotten that on that occasion Ms. Pitt had declared the &ragmen's should not 11, /.... • T^ .i
