With respect to the question of 'aittit, it hid been fully debated on the occasion of :he 'utarrlage iu iii,.,. There was, however, no part of the at rategenteitt PO difficult. He felt, that • the nub/ way to !wet ent any accumulation of debt in those case* nes, by granting ti fair income —and, to citable them to live on is, he would stipermild a proper sum ftir outfit, in order that debts might uut he coutracted at the very commencement or marriage. In the first year, therefore, allowing the *ante tom to each individual, for outfit. as was granted for au increase of illeatile,•1111 additional charge of 35.500/. would he accumulated—making a total (itscolue mad outfit) fur that year of I I 1,000/. —to the second year the outfit bring deducted, the increase *mild be 55,500/. It was not, however, ititrodtal to raise this sum by any new mom. It appeared to the Pritice Regent's Ministers, flirt it would be possible, from rearturces connected stall the Consolidated Fund, to cover thin charge. lu consequence of the death of the Princess Char lotte, 10,000/. was subtracted from the income of the Prince of Saxe-Coburg, and a sum of 50,0001. which ass pledged for the payment of certain debts of the Prince Regent, when Prince of Wales, would, b e w as happy to say, be liberated in the course of too years. He had now stated to the House the general. outline of the measure which Ministers had it in their contemplation to propose. It ousapitv Lis duty to state, with whatever indig saty the sleparture from the original intention might tar treattal by the other side of the House, the mo dified plan which they meant to submit. He, how ever, did nut consider it inconsisteist sill) the Ito saturable discharge of public duty, when he collect ; d that Parliament would not emit:or with Minis ters in a itarticuler measure, to endeavour to pursue that mode which appeared likely to answer the ge neral purpose, while it was to the :satisfaction of all parties,—/ year, hear, heor.J—lle perfectly went Moog with a Right Ilononrable Gentlentau (11r. Tierney), who said, that, for a public luau to give up a public principle, in order to do that which he believed to be wrong iii itself, operated egotist every feeling of public spirit and or public el:erecter. 1101 hr could see nothing improper its giving up that description of proposition, on which, it. fact, public principle could not be mid to rest— with which it was nut at all coititected. The aervants of the Crown and of the country, finding it iircesaary to bring the interests and feelings of all :tat-lira to inert on one common purpose, had mollified their original plau. Before lie stated the else:moms that had been made, he conceived it necesaary to advert to sonic views of this question, which loose bum thr 'situation in which some of those M 1114110116 individuals were placed, in con ;sequence of deiiving emoluments from other chin. tads. In rettllng what Malone ought to be assign ed to the illustrious Dukes, its the 'named or use. 111.. uird stair, lie did out think tome House ought, in ju•toee ur in policy, to recognise or eticoursge the pro,,c:ple, that the illustrious individual for whom t.rusisauu was to be made, should not enjoy any other income, without haul's; a suits equivalent to that inconi c stilitracted from the Parlitimetitary grant. Ile conceived there should be a decided destinction between the provision made for one of those persons in the married and unmarried at at— test! that they ougl.t tint, use voting them the means su mooting their establislimeens prdperly, look to boy ulterior resource they might have. If Parka meta did so—if they coo.tioterl their grants, in pro- p , oitiuu t i any emolunieuts which they might derive Irons professional exertions—they would damp io those indtviduals that spirit of entermise and am bition which induced Olen to exert their talents in public life. He thought It was a degrading prin ciple, %loch went to till those illustrious indiv Mils, that nit exertion they could make iii any pro fession, vtotil'l lend to their advantage—anal ceo tautly it would not, if, in proportion as they made use of their ahilinee. the Legislature contracted its hated, whets called on to nuke a certain provision for them. The sr situation might, it was true, from the respect it commenitital, he said to eojny great advantages-- hot nosily disodvantagra were also attached to it. '1 pry werea privileged class—placed in a particular 'Automat. for the public benefit—but prevetited Guns the rojoy meta of many advantages, which indivi dulls enjoyed. They could not secure an nude. iiendeett existence fur themselves, by their exertions —much hiss could they amass Colones to transmit to shear roorrerot y. lie thought it would be the priociple to au extreme, if, by their exertions, they added to their etwolumetits, to make that a gromml fur narrowing the income which Hp. ' , eared to be necessa4 to enable the Royal Fa mily to live, as they ought to do, in a inserted oir unmarried :tate. The House would the tva.hly adopt this view of the question, fur they would easily perceive that the additional amid 1111 l rots time , could he Of such a magnitude .is dangerously to disturb the scale of provision aliipod by Parliensent. Much had been said to the employment of the Duke of Cam tillage in Honorer. An Honourable Member had faltered boo calcalations of what the emoluntrots of that illustrious Duke weir.. II would. however, be timed, wheit he PI die a ave, that lunch otos represetitati 111 l prevailed with respect to It—acid that the illustrious Duke received nothing which ought use prevent the House from doing hint an act or kuitincsoo, and, lie would add, of justice. In the first place, the situation was, in the strictest striae or the woad, a temperer', one, and he clever would 14 " undertook the duly had he not been pressed his illustrious brother the Prioce negro,. 1.141 the illustrious iiitlividual looked upon it as a user, temproNov situation wets evident front this tact, that lie had out, iu consequence of going Elwood, of his di - This this country. 'Vice Duke of Clarence Lai lit. ail ditioutal emolument but his half-pay of 1,100/. a year. as Adiairal of the Fleet. Here it might be Observed, that all the Hopi! Duke* had souse em ployment of a military feature. The argument, therefore, which went to prevent them f re ceiving 'provision to a certain extent frosts meat, on account of great emoluments derived from other soorceei was scot Made out. He said this from the best ieformation—but the documents, as far as they could be mule out, would be laid before Pathan:win. With respect to the Duke of Kent, lie was Governor of Gibraltar, and also bail • regiment of infantry. From these sources lie perhaps receivedt,ooo/..iser anomie. But it should be observed that a parliamentary allowance was made to him much later than to his Royal Brothers. He was fur 14 years in the Colonies—and he en tered on public life three years later than any of his illustrious relatives, and six years after sonic of them. His Majesty, therefore, gave him the go vernment of Gibraltar—but his brothers had had acts of grace from their Royal Father, which placed them in a much better situation. Now, as he conceived, that to deduct f parliamentary provision, any sum which the Royal Dukes might obtain in the British service, or in the service of a state so nearly connected with England as Hanover, would deprive them of that stimuli's to exertion which ought always to besencouraged, he trusted that molter the situation of the Duke of Cambridge nor of the Duke of Kent would be suffered to mili tate egainst their interest, or the interest of the country. After the feeling that had displayed itself in the course of the former debates on this subject, it appeared to the servants of the Crown their indispensable duty to examine this question most closely. They had minutely in vestigated all the details, iii order to see whe ther any deductions could be made, which would neither put a stop to the contemplated Mil linery, nor yet involve the parties in difficulties.— In forming their estimate, they had not followed their own feeling, but had been guided by the vice ofthose more experience I than themselves—of those who well knew the difference between pro. riding what was necessary for a pnbtic wed royal family, and for • private one. With respect to the allowance to the Duke of Clarence, ass in crease of 12,000/. was almost as little as could be demanded—certainly not less t h an 10.000/. Under that sum no reasonable hope was entertained of carrying on the establishineut. In deciding on this aiim, the fact was, it became u question whether any thing should be granted or not.—/Hear, hear.) —With respect to the other branches, the Dukes of Kent, Cumberland, and Cambridge, it was agreed to reduce the additional provision for them to 6,0001. per annum, which was the lowest sum that circumstances would permit. As to pin -mo tley, it was an arrangement between the husband amid wife, and was, in fact, a deduction front the gross sum. The provision made by the Duke of York, for that purpose, was 4,oool.—and, solo posing that the Duke of Clarence allowed 3,0001. the net increase, for all additional expense, would he 7,000/. a-year. The lame sum being appropriated by the other Royal Dukes, fur a like purpose, would brave a mitt increase of 3.000/. per annum. He did not think 7,0001. a-year additional to the Duke of Clarence, and 3.0001. to the juilior branches on their marriage, could, on any principle of liberality, be objected to. In 1767, and 1794-5. the late Doke of Glou cester received grunts to the amount of 24.000/. per annum, and the present Doke had an income of 29,000/. The sum he now asked for was only 28,000/. for those four illustrious individuals—and he thought it was impossible to appear before the House with a more mitigated claim. Ile felt con. @Aeroble pain its the discharge of his public duty on this occasion, because he conscientiously believed that he was running the risk, in endeavouring to snake the measure strictly consonant with pub lic economy, of embarrassing those illitstrion* by calling for so small an addition to their income. W With respect to the jointures, it was proposed that the Duchess of CI seduce should have a jointure of 8.0001., similar in amount to that of the Duchess of Gloucester—mid that the other Duchesses should have jointures settled on them of 7,000/. each. 'Flue scope of the alteration was this, to giver the. Doke of Clarence 30,0004 a-year instead of 40.0001.—and the junior branches 24,000/. instead of 30,000 i. 011 this scale, thr aggregate expense would be (if the Duke of Kent married) 28,000/. per tumuli). The s that would fall into the Consolidated Fund antouris ed to 60,0001.—50 that, after cayenne the 18.000/. there would still be a paving of 32.0001. per annum. His Lordship then moved— " That his Majesty be rumbled to grant on additional Film of money oust of the Consolidated Fund of Great Britain and Ireland. nut exceeding 10,00 M. to make • enn oble provision fur the Duke of Clarence on his niarriage. - • Baßcr.ssr rose to call the attention of the !louse to the state of the country. What th►y at present knew was, that an attempt was now making to raise between to and 1 1,000.004. to meet the .leficiesicies of the revenue. They also knew, that, in consequence of the impoverished state of the county, his Royal Highness had given up fifty thousand ttttt aids annually of his own income.— The coioltiet of the Hume with respect to the Duke of York in 179 , 2, when things were wonder fully different from what they were at present, might he considered in some degree as 31 1111•Cellellt to act upon. But he should be glad to know lOW dims could his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence have which the rest had not as well as himself ? The only object of the outfit was to defray that illastrions personage's debts, to which it was wholly incompetent. Nor could he see any occasion to increase the allowance to the Duke of Cumberland, except there were an alteration in the situation of the Duchess. Ile should hare no olijectiosi to an appropriate grant in cases of widowhood of any of their Royal Highness's consorts; hut until lie saw the country in an ade quate state to sustain the comequent increase of taxation resulting from these grants, lie must to 11 , •4111 to which Mr. BARCLAY assented. —Which: motion thing put. Mr. iLtamorr rose and expressed his conviction, that odd gli he wisitiliogether averse to profusion at this !particular crisis, yet, in justice to these Royal personagei, sod these/de or expenditure con sequent upon their exalted situation, under the circumstance of a marriage, he should feel it Isis duty to support the gram proposed.' Mr. PROTHEROit congratulated the [louse upon the effect produceilsioce last night thereto, by the opposition which it hall beets anticipated by Minis ters would be the result,' should' they persevere iu the original proposition of the Noble Lord. He had been much surprised at hearing the Noble Lord attempt to justify the grounds upon which he had proposed the larger gram; but more paiticu holy had be been astonished at his expressing him self as having entertained sanguine expectations of support its the event of such a proposition being proposed to the [louse. He could not see, that in addition to the well-grousnleil causes of sorrow and regret the country had so lately experienced iu the death of the late universally lamented Princess, there should be conjured up Huy ideal fears as to the niatistenance of the success iiiii 11l the present Royal Family. He had no such apprehensions; ind to these future marriages, aliOUld they take place, he hoped, as the grounds upuu which they were contracted were nut mercenary ones, they would not feel dissatisfied with the apportionment of isicouse allotted to them by Parliament fur the maiutestance of the splendid rank they held in so ciety. He would not yield in loyalty or h&c not, to the Royal Family, either to the Noble Lord or his friends, but he must contend, the best way to display that loyalty and affection was by meeting this question with' the most perfect sincerity.— Ile would ask the Noble Lord, had he or his col leagues used that sincerity when called upon to give their advice If they had, would they have said the present was a fit time for additional taxation ? When the vital and paramount interests; of the people were gt stake, lie felt it was a proud boast on the part of their eolitituetits, that they liad by an instantaneous display of hostility to the pro position, manifested their attention to the lutenist* they were seat here to protect, mid sent the pri mary proposition to rest at once. But the Noble Lord had not only defended the allowances now pro ;rood, but justified those which it had heen naval ed to propose last night, including a grant to the Duke of Cumberland double the amount of that which had been refused him upon ti foriner occasion, perfectly in unison with the universal sentiment of the country at large. Mr. GURNEY traced the policy of contracting marriages, ou the part of the younger branches of the Royal Family, through precedeut stages of our history up to the time of the contention of the Houses of York and Lancaster, during which, lie contended, it had been the policy of the younger branches to watch with foreign him-awes. having considerable dowries, or to Marry subject* who were heiresses, and thus provide for their mainte nance in a manner correspMiding with their rank. Thus the country was benefited by the introduc tion of wealth lay each 11/111 ride is the wiggling family. He regretted the circumstance of the ap plicatiou to the House under these circumstances, and should vote regatta the grant. Mr. H. SUMNER said, in a discussion of suds importance he was happy the cusautry Geodesist's had taken that part which became their situation in the iimid of the people of the country. Not witlistatalisig the slur of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman', who had consulted, it would appear, the show dietitmary fur a term to stigmatise the Meeting at Lord Liverpool's, hr would reply by a phrase from the seine Igarord work, tire, notwithstanding that Learaied Gentleman might boast of having a great deal of the gift of the gati—( Laughter )—Still there was at that meeting men of as much honour and integrity us ever sat upon the side of Opposittou or A4ll ll tt istration.--( Hear, hear.)—Fievitig pre , rinsed thus much, he would °harm., that the first grain proposal. applied to a Prince tint being in the situation of heti presumptive to the Crown, in which station the Duke of York, in fact, at present stood, although lie had no children.— The Duke of York ought not therefore to be con sidered in any other light then the late much la mented Princess Chuslotte, who had received an ample allowance as heir-apparent. Ile, for his part, would not vote a larger allowance to the Duke of Clarence than to the Duke of York; nor was lie disposed to grant less than 6,000/. u-year to each of the Royal Dukes upon their respective marriages; but then it would be upon the country's being se cured that the suns so granted should be appropri ated to the purpose solely of mailitaining their state and dignity after marriage, and ma to pay off their debts. The Duke of Clarence already possessed an income oh' 18.uou1. u-rear on the Comolideted Fund, an additional 2,600/. per annum mi another charge, and 1,100/, per atm. as his half-pay us Admiral of the Fleet. Ile had also his appointment of Ranger, with a handsome residence and 3,000/. u-year sa lay, as he had been assures!. Altogether, this was a princely allowance for the Duke, whether in a married state or not, But it had Isms rumoured, the sums required were not so much waiting to support it tantalite state and equipage us to pay off Iris debts; that 4,000/. a-year was pledged, to pay incumbrances and mortgages to the atnoutit of 70 or 80,000/.—lt was vain to think of extricating him thus.—As to the Duke of Kent, lie had applied the best antidote to debt, by re trenching; and retiring into another country—yield lug, lik e other classes. to the pressure of the Buses.-01 the Duke of Catubridge, it had been said by his Royal Father, in the phrase usual at Eton, that he lied not yet committed his first fruit. These all had their claims. The case of the Duke of Cumberland had barn long since de cided on progressively, by maketties of from 37 to I I, instil the Members were seen flocking frosts all parts of the country. and filially threw out the proposition for increasing his iticome. Ou other occasions, Royal Messages were sent fur the pur pose of asking advice, and informing the House ment COnla i,e moved nu an Aim:ink:L..l; but be would inoprwe, if the iiirestion wrre wit carried now befo•t the Howie, that there ahould be fain before the Meow du Account of the present.

Acute u—The question before the House was, in its simplest form—what was the allowance the country should snake the Prince. of the Royal Family, in case of marriage, independent of the cpiestiOas of individual charac ter, or the emoluments each derived from his place nr •p -motto meals bete or I t was rather difficult to appsoprikte the exact slumber of thousand pounds which might be considered equivalent, whirls consideration had operated use su Honourable Member (Mr. Barclay), so as 10 induce him to wish to pustpuue tlar question fur a week. But this he thought would not be a delicate way of treating the affairs of the Royal Dukes, into whose affairs he did uut wish to pry. He felt sus objection to the grant to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, but he could not see the propriety of placing the Duke of Clarence on a different foutitag from that of the remaining branches of the Royal Family, la the case of the Duke of Cumberland, the House had wisely exercised a most deliberate consolerktion of the subject on a former OCCUR/11. Hr could not; curler the cir cumstances, therefore, give a general assent to the proputi tiou. Mr. JOHN MARTIN said, lie felt it would be inconsistent with his duty to vote for the general proposition. Lord I-AU:ELLE* conceived, lutist the grant in contemplation sea beyond shut the country had reason to expect. or had a right to concede. Mr. SAMULI. THORNTON Was of 01/111101), that minor grant would answer every purpose, cull aistently with the present burdens of the people. Sir THOMAS ACLAND bare testimony to the conduct of her Royal Highness the Michels of Cumberland, during her residence in this country, sod conceived that the grant, its respected her Royal husband, came within the generous feeling of the country. She had been indebted to the Kin-. of Prussia for the station she was enabled to hold %) this country. After a few words from Mr. BAIICLAT, in sup port of his antelidment, the gallery was cleared for a division; but after the strangers were excluded uo division took place. On our re-admission to the gallery, we found Mr. CANNING warmly contending, that if mallets of public expediency did not call fur this additional income to the Royal Family, he thought it was clear that the duty which the country owed to the Royal Family required this accession of income, under the circumstances of the case. The House were bound fairly to look at the pre.ent case. The contemplated marriage was more iu obedience to public duty than private gratification, and he II lit that the Royal parties might to be parti cularly considered under circumstateres of this nature—. (Hear.)--The Right Hon. Gentleman contended, that it was impossible, from the form of the Amendmeut, to listen to any propositioil which went to reduce the Ergot ; indeed, be was prepared to shew, that in the present case it was int. POlillible to produce a more reduced marriage establiabsnent than that proposed; and be could taut conceive the grounds upon which this motion was opposed. Mr. WODtHOUSE stated, that be would decidedly support 11w smaller grant. Me. WM. SMITH was of opinion that all the sources of in conic laeluugieng to the Royal Family should betaken tutu con sideration. He was culavitaced, that if Ibis we. alone, enough would he found to answer all fair demands witlabast resorting to the proposed mode of rewarding the Royal Family. Mr. P. SlETitues and Sit WM. GUISE were against the graut. Lord CIIITLEILEIIO/1 explained, that a mistake arose as to the revenue of the Royal Family—it was entirely misunder stood. The Noble Lordexplained the details of the Windsor sod the sales its attached to the offices cooped- ed with it. Mr. TIPMSFY was astonished to hear this allusion made to the foods of the Royal Family. Ile thought that iu this time of retrenchment some reduction ought to take place lit the Privy Purer.—(flea►.)—lt was dear that the Windsor establishment might to be inquired into. There the sum applied to the arrangement of the Physicians was exorbitant in the amount of its expenditure. Out of 170,000/. 110 leas a sum than 58,000/. was for the Queen. He ridiculed the no-. tion of postponing this question in the anemicr alluded to by Ministers. They came forward in inie day with their pian— ist the next with their Amendment. Is was absurd to suppose the Housemaid tolerate this verillsti .... apolitical Ceding. Lord CASTLERCAGii explained, and skewed, that the amount of the Quarn's dower had bees. miscalealated. It was applicable to the expenditure of a variety of purposes. Mr. Lama-run sluiced that the Chairman do leave the Chair. He yiehled to no man in Ike respect lie felt for the Family on the Throne, but he contended that on the present occasion an attempt had been made to blend questions wholly distinct. Let the Ministers meet the question fairly, and they would skew the candour of their feeling by their sense of the heavy burdens which fell on the people. Mr. WYNN warmly concurred in the proposed amendment.
