Sir G. W A MIEN DER made a few ulniervatioils in explanation, and leave was given to bring in the Bill. ROCHESTER ELECTION. Mr. WYNN moved, that the order to have the Minutes of Evidence before the C ttttt initee pro duced to the House, should be discharged. Mr. Bee x ire said, his object wits, is, for the evidence, to let the Petitioners see on what grounds the Committee had acted. lie thought they were at least entitled to be made acquainted with so much, and it would let Adore petitioners ►ee their way. He would not oily whether the *idiot; Member was or was hot duly elected, but it was understood that he was not limpedy qualified, and a general meeting of the electors had been called. It was then decided that the opinion of Counsel slinuld he taken, and two eminent lawyers gave their opinion that the grounds of the Petition were legal and solid ; the Elector. acted ou this opinion —a Petition saw presessieJ. and that Petition was toted frivolous and vexations; and this decision was m a d e by the Committee, ens a point of law . that hail never hers, considered or ascertained. Lord CasTLERSAGU spoke to order. lie con tended that the judicial decision of the Committee was lint to be as.isoled--tbat it was h ush, and a ea- Seism act, and should not Ise iittrationed by all Gentlein ro upon ilielipinion or a lawye►.

Ile differed f..om an 11. m. Gentleman (Mr. Bennett), who maid the law had not been a s. certoined—it had beets invariably meted on ; and if it wait never argued. it was because it was never iitievtioneil. Mr. Tr intact' said the question was, whether the Petition War vexatious ? Now, he would ask. could it be said with justi4 e, that men had acted vexa tiously who acted from enieUderation, tinder the advice of Counsel, and under the sincere impres sion that they were right ? A fier voine iihseivatians from Lord CA4T . LEIMAGII and Mr. WY N N. the motion was put and agreed tu. WINDSOR ErrABLISHIIIF.NT. Sir ALEXANDER Hurt rose, in pursuimee of 168 notice, to propose a resolution to .the Noise for continuing on the Windsor Establishment the usual number of six Equerries, but the noise in the House was so great and inCeseant. and the gallant Member spoke in so low a tone of voice, that his °lrv:es°. *ions were not at all times sufficiently audiblein the llery. He remarked, th at in the e vent of the King's recovery it was desirable that his Mujesiy should have the sante persons about him in the 59th year of his reign, MIA the 84(1 of his age, whom he had previous to his illness been accustomed to see. Such a mark of respect to their afflicted Sovereign was to be expected from a generous people. The several gallant individuals who held the situa tions of Equerries about his Majesty's person, had been appointed in consequence of the personal re gard of the King, a n d In token of hi> esteem and admiration of their conduct. This was particu larly instanced by the appointment of Generals Smith, Wyoyard, and Sir Brent Spencer. If toe itionher of the Equerries were diminished, it was to be apprehended that the ordinary duties of at tendance on the King's persons might not be pro perly fulfilled. Ile remarked, thilt in the Report of the Committee, six Equerries we retained; but it was by mistake, as had been stated by a Right Honourable Gentleman opposite (Mr. Tierney). This, however, proved, that in this question no consideration of economy could be in volved, because the sum of 50,0001. a year had been voted, including the continuance of these six Equerries. Ile stated that in the year 1782, his Majesty had seven Equerries, whom lie, how. ever, sewn after reduced to live. This was done of his Majesty's own :wenn! ; but its Mr. Barleys Bill, although nu mention was made of the Equer ries, it was the feeling of the proposer and sup porters of that measure, that Parliament should not touch the Royal Household. Ile would nut re mark tits Mr. Burke's observations, which recent events might almost raise to the character of tieing prophetic, on the impropriety of ass the dignity of the Crown. The House were aware how many countries had heels devastated—how frothy thrones overturned—all of which might fairly lie attributed to the wanton disregard to all the proper splendour which should envelope the Royal authority. lie trusted, however, that he should still aim in the House enough of that high feeling which Mr. But ke hail desigusted as chivalry, and which was nothing. mare than a determination to succour and proteLt distress. lie did not suppose the Kiiig would ever sufficiently recover to resume the reins of guvernn- I torso, but he slid believe that hie Majesty would, before his death, be awakened to a sense of the glories of his reign, and be apprised of all the idiots made by his subject* to maintein the honour and dignity of his Crown, and in such an event what would be his feelings were he to lied that the House of Commons, fur • miserable' parsimony. had deprived him even of his personal attendee's After dwelling tor some time on this point, amidst the great noise of the House, he concluded by moving the fullivaing Resolution : " That ailboeth it is ettpunlieot in the present stale of his ittsjesty's health that there should be no unnefesatry ex pense ill in siniaisiag his Establishment at Windsor, yrs it is the opitsion of this Hou.e. that it should be kept up its a 111.1111Ptf equally consistent with the 'limns of ihe Crown, and the ails chola bial 11,jesty's loyal and that no titmice should be made its the present sisoisher of lit, Msjesly's six Equerries, a 4 MCllilullEd ill the It. part of the Cuotoritti,"---(Cosoiderable &tighter accompanied the veadioy of the latter pa. t of this Refutation.)

A Member under the gallery, who we under stand was Sir J.

Mr. MARTIN qualified his inteution of voting for the motion, by disclaiming any participation in tlw prefatory sentiments of the gallant Mover. Mr. GRATTAN mid, that if by the most extended and the most minute examination, it could be in may degree proved that the appointment of these two Equerries was necessary for the comforts of the King, he should willingly give his vote in favour of the preselit resolution. He would nut place the saving of 1,000/. or 10,000/. in competition with the ematlest of his Majesty's possible enjoyments. lie could not consider that the splendour of the Crown, nor the King's comfort, could, in his pre sent circumstances, l' he increased by any addition to his train ; on the cootiary, he thought a multi tudinous traits was rather a mockery on huts ieffer ings. The House anti the country should never fail to eVince their dutiful respect to their venerable Sovereign. This would be best sliewu by changing declarations into attention, and by reverential silence. I Ile then alluded to the vote to the Duke of York. on which, if lie were present, lie sliltitul have funt.d some embarrassment in th-coling.
