WINDSOR ESTABLISHMENT. Lord Cssvt.e•Esca rose to move certain Resolu. lion*. The first was relating to the provision for her late Majesty's servants. It was, that a stain of 18.4461. a year. to be paid w rinarterly payment, of 4,5611. odd shillings. should be paid out of the Consolidated Food, as an allowance for the Maids of Honour. stud other sequoia of her late Mii jesty...-This Resolution was put and agreed tn. The next Resolution related to the .11111 to be al lowed as a provision for the office of Keeper of the Kitties Perms* He wished, he said, to consider this sum as a necessary charge to support a public office of great trust—of great responsibility and ex pense. Ile did nut wish to consider it with reference to the illustrious individual appointed to fill that office. As to the expenses attending the office, it would be impossible for him to enumerate them. lint they were very considerable. His Royal Highness filling this office had not only the various expenses of frequent attendance at Windsor, but he must be considered as standing in the situation of die King with respect to the claims of many de pendants, who had been in the habit of partaking of his Majesty's bounty. He was, in fact, the protector of his Majesty's family, and subject to tnany expenses which it was impossible to detail to the House. The vote of last night did not, lie conceived, pledge the House to any extent; but lie thought the safest course of proceeding would be, to pursue the great precedent laid down on a preceding occasion. In his opinion he ought to have the support of Gentle. men opposite—believing, as he did. that this was private property, and I hose Gentlemen not having objected to that principle, but merely confoundinz a public with R private of f icer.—(" Hear, hear." from the Opposition.)—He could not but think, that the most prudent and constitutional mode of proceeding would be, to give to the Duke of York, as east°, of the Royal person, 10,0001. per annum, as had been dune in the case of her Majesty. His Lordship then moved— " That it is the opinion of this Committee, that the saw of MAW per annum should be granted, out of the Civil List Revenue, to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, to enable his Huyal Highness to meet the expenses which his Royal Highness will be exposed to, as Curios of the King's Person, a duty which has beets intrusted to bins by Par liament." Mr. TIERNEY said, he could not conceive on what possible ground the Noble Lord could expect to have his support on this occasion—for he had en. deavoured, on the precediug evening, to guard him. self, explicitly. against uny misapprehension. On that occasioo, he said, he wished that the discussion could have been avoided. as it might, by placing at once upon the Privy Purse, instead of taking it out of the public revenue, such a sum for the expenses of the coitus, as Parliament might think proper. It was most extraord nary after this, that the Noble Lord should call upon him for his vote, because• grant had been formerly made to the Queen—( Hear)—he hoeing, be it observed, opposed that grant. Now, however, it was set up as a precedent. This would chew Gentlemen how dangerous it was to agree to any measure which was afterwards likely to be drawn into precedent. Considering the melancholy state of her Majesty, at the time the grant was made, no Gentleinaii would make any observetion on it, that was calculated to wound the feelings of her Majesty, or to add to her laid:rm. But cer tainly, no individual supposed, at the time, that a grant, made under such circumstances, would he drawn into a preceddit.—lllear, hear.)—He was obliged to oppose that grant—sod, useless the Noble Lord could make out a clear case io support of a grant from the public snooty of 10,000/. per annum, he would most streimously oppose the pre sent, lie would not take the Semise of the House un it now, because, in consequence of a innurider. standiug on the part of Gentlemen, oho imagined the subject would not conic on this evening, there was a less numerous attendance thou he might otherwise base expected. The Noble Loa* pro ceediug was regular enough—but a doubt was en tertained whether all the Rpsolutione had not been carried. and the Report ordered to be received on Thursday, •liich prevented the ettesidatice of mail Members. He How understood from the Noble Lord that he tyrant to move that the Report be received on Thursday—on which day, lie now gave notice, he would lake the sense of the House on it.—( Hear./—Hr stated this with great pain, but he would ;lever conatio that this sum should be taken out of the pockets of the people.—(llear.i —He had dour every thing in his power to avoid this disscussion—but, us he had not succeeded, he felt it to be a most iniperetive duty to oppose this grant.—( Hear./ Lord HANCLIFIC said, he would oppose this grant in all its stages. It was frCollllllrlllirol, ' , MUSSe a precedent for it had been established by the wis dom of the late Parliament. Now lie, use many Hoots, doubted their wisdom, and disliked their measures; and their having agreed to a somber proposition, only strengthened his determination to oppose the present. Alderman WAITHMAN Said, he restsd his op. position to the proposed grant on this substantial gruuml t—When the country was allowed, almost ou :.II hands, to be in it state of deep distress— when petitions were daily presented to them from the 18'11111,4dt:4, suanuLicturrto, said others, moo LONDON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1819. The Muse of Cornrow's log night again revolved itself :Imo a Committee to cow.ider of the pro posed urrangenients relative to the Royal Este blislunent at Windsor. The Resolutions were se verally *weed to, without opposition; but Mr. Mattis' gave notice, that on Thursday next, when the Report of the Committee shall lee brought up, he proposed to take the sense of the House once wore upon the Resolution for granting , 10,000/. a-year to the Duke of You, as cust6s of the KIN G's person. On a. questinie of such mu. portance to the country as the present, not so much indeed with regard to its amount, whivli, in comparison with the immense disbursements of the country, is of minor cousideration, t.ut ns involv ing a ;nitwit& of ecoesomy, and putting the pro cessions of Mienster• and the viiecerity cf tv the test, eteiy Member of die livuse of • 10 a 0..

Indeed, under the pre:,eiit ttielinichnly btauces of his airless, the aliprnirri.ition of a pity Purse to the KING, who it notoii.msly incapable of exercising any diorrtti in in the d,•pnssl cf it, is aidicolous in the extreme. prop.•cr was vested is' a ICiNG de fuel°, who wit. capalo:. of using it, and when the authority of 11 r fortunate Monarch wits vested in the Pniseco.

To talk i f the sacredness of private property is' such circum stances. is to trifle with the commou miderietai l d. lug of Parliament. The property was granted by the Legislature for • particular purpose stated by Lord CASTLEREAGH ; that purpose can no longer be fulfilled, and the authority that vested the pro perty is capable of resuming the grant when the cause of it no longer exists. Can it be cootreotrki Parliament gave 60,000/. year merely for th e pur pose of accumulating in ;he hands of Cortimissiii..er•? It was given fur the accommodation o r th e K t o w. proems, fir the increase of his comfort., sod il.e graulication of his feelings ; mid if the entire of it, instead of a very small imrt, were folder the with°. city of Parliament directed immediately to that oh jest, the purpose of the original grout woulJ thereby be strictly :IA fulfilled. The pre sea proposition an Ministers is utilising more than all altellll.t to add to the burdens of the people, for the purpose of iiicreasing the saving. o f th e Privy Purse, which must by this time line rises' to a very eum•idrrabir amount.

In answer in a (4iirsiints f BARREs— Lord CASTIARF.AOII woiol, the oltit et of tile re solution was, to give to the Duke of York tie same power which her Majesty had ellif))1.1i, natively, that of superannuating or discharging any of lie ',tr youts of the King. The present provisior, how. ever, went to rrlait, ill some degree, the powers glVell by the clause in the Sid of the King, liking care that the rum appropriated to this purpose should not exceed the charges Hlreatly authorised by Par. !lament, but leaving a discretion, *Vilma that ainowit, to the Duke a York. Lord CASTLEREAGH then moved— " Resolved—That it is the opinion of Ihi■ Committee, that the stun of IWO,. beinz oaofourlh i.f 58,000/., the sum annually allowed out of the Civil List net'?litle to the bile Queen Charlotte, be set apart, every emeritr of a year, iu uhe receipt of Exchequer, as ■ portion of the Con solidated Fund of Great Britain and Ireland." " Rraolveil—That it is Ike opinion of this Coattail Ire, that the sum of 12,500/. being nue fourth i.f the sear of SO,iiiiol, he paid every grimier of a year to his Roysi Higkurss the Duke of Turk, to defray the expeuses of his Majesty's House hold." Sir A. Horn observed, that he objected most strongly to the saving effected by discontinuing two of the King's equerries. Nothing would, he was firmly convinced, shock his Majesty more, were his faculties to he restored to him, than the knowledge that, during his dines., two of his servants hail been dismissed. He, perhaps, hail lost the regular op portunity of moving that the original number of equerries should he appointed, but lie would ~rake a motion for that purpose whenever an occasion offered itself. tie begged to state his reason for wishing the number of equerries not to be diminished. They were the persons with whom his Majesty coo versed—persons of his own choice, and wholly ab stracted from politics. As a matter of feeling, there could be no difficulty in bringing the House to agree to the restoration of the origin.' number—and the plea of economy could mot lime any very great weight here. The ease must he argued either on the ground of principle or of economy. Now, he supposed the principle would be, •• if reason returns, let his Majesty see that every kindness was praeu•ed toward. him." ‘Vitli respect to economy, how did it bear? The sum saved would be t thousand a-year--and surely that was not In ohj•ct of such magnitude as to call for this reduction? This could not be cousidered a party quessou—it was one which must come house to the breast of every man present—and, therefore, he ventured to make these few observations. He wished to know, whe ther he could submit hie proposition now ? and, if not, when he could regularly do so? After some conversation, with respect to the most proper stage for proposing that sir eererries should he attached In his Majesty's Household in stead offline, as the Co 11111 l 'tier recommended, between Xlr. Tierney, Mr. W. Wynn, Sir It. IVilso , t, and Sir A. Hope, it was at length sog gested by Nir. Tierney, that, when the Bill was brimglit in, which, as in 1 13, would recite the number of officers to be retained by the tusks, said, of course, specify Orlone rtiiirru sea, it would there be the ',roper time, when the House was o, - cupied on the subject, to muse that six be ap pointed instead of fear.
