tires of politic duty, he certainly should not by choice have to close in contact with the brilliant speech of Ins Hon. and Learned Friend, neither should he by choice set himself in opposition to the wit and eloquence of the Right 4lnti. Gentleman opposite. In answer to the speech of his Learned sail lion. Friend, a speech so entirely exempt from all the usual objections made to those corning from that aide of the House, lie had expected to have heard soinethiug in reply, except the brilliant fal lacies of the Right Hoe. Gentleman, which he would now set himself to expose; he wonld ru.' 'nine Ins points, for be could not call them argu ments, though he did not wish to weaken the grim- VII effect of Ilia Sperell, 110tWiti145:111111 , I lie wished to fasten nu them the feudal Kim; against which his Hon. Friend had protested. lie should like to he informed by the Right Hon. Gentleman how our ancestors had been employed (in those good olden times an admired by him), front the accession of William the Conqueror—swhy, from the time of Magna Charts down to the abolition of Wards and Liveries, they were occupied in taking sway from that feudal system : the attacks were first com menced by the Barons et Runnymede, and since then they had been contiotted to this day. His Hon. Friend had admitted that since the days of Charles 11. no Minister had advised a war as the means of filli n g the Exchequer. But it was not that the possession of this fund was a temptation to declare war, but it was s temptation to go to war without declaring it. He did not say it was so, bat he deprecated the Crown possessiug this power, because in the eyes of foreign nations it was viewed with jealousy ; and without abating an iota of our maritime rights, he would still say, that he should be ready (now in time of peace, when it could only be imputed to a sense of justice and not to weakness) to abolish all that only rendered us odius without beiug formi dable. The Hon. Member then adverted to the conduct of America, who before the war of 1812 gave six mouths' notice to all British vessels to quit their 'torte, and in some instances even extended the time. The power of the. American Government to do this was disputed by the State of Massachusetts. The question was referred to a Jury, and they decided that it was rightly dote, and in compliance with the law of nations, and (what was singular) to Magna Charts, one of those mu nutriments of that olden time to which his Hon, Friend had spoken. The Droll* daring the Ame rican war, he believed, amounted to half a million ; and the answer given to their Commissioners at Ghent, who chimed restitution, was, that it mild not be made, as the fund was in the power of the Crown, and the money disposed of. After this fact, could we wonder at the jealousy of this fund by foreign countries ? The foolish Americans refer to Magna Charts for the law of nations; but his Right Hon. Friend looked to the time of the seizure of the Smyrna fleet. It was very true, that, in the case of the Swedish convoy, the Crown hav ing this fund, were enabled to make compensa tion ; but the argument was fuuuded on the use sumption, that under no other arrangement of the hind could such compensation have been made. But if he could thew that such arrangement could be made, then the whole of the Right Honourable Gentleman% classical speech fell to the ground, fur he had engaged only to answer his reaassesing, not to rival hi, eloquence. lie thought that a Committee could in half an hour make every arrangement which was necessary ; in fact he had a Bill in his hand folly equal to the purpose, which he had pre pared four years ago, but he had been induced to postpone it till this, which was then considered as the most proper time, and in this mistake he wra accomparied by others, for they had heard a series of declarations--(Hear, dear, hear)--- th a t ti i i% asould be the most proper time for the full and free discussion of the subject.—(Hear.)— The lion. Member complained of the fallacy of spreading the amount of droits received over a space of 60 years, although above eight minim,' had been received during 20 years, during which his Majesty had enjoyed a revenue of 400,009/. per annum not voted or cognisable by Parliametit. He argued that if this could have been known at the votnmencement of the late King's reign, when the Civil List was proposed, it would have been a must imporent circumstance in regulating the amount of that provision, and as this was a fluctuating fund, it could not be known what the revenue would lie; and therefore the measure proposed was pro per as a preliminary step before a Parliamentary grant should be made. Ailver.ing to the grants *mule out of the drolls to officers of the navy for meritorious services, he asked if there was nu suspicion of favouritism entertained ? He was sure lie spoke the sentiments Ida set of as gallant and accomplished Gentlemen as any in the world— he meaut the officers of the Royal Navy, when he said they would much rather receive their remune ration through any other chained. He contended that the possession of the fond itself as u sonrce of bounty was dishonourable to the Crown, arising as It did out of the rights of war, as understood in ages of military barbarism, but totally unfit for the age in trine) we now live. He regretted that in the eyes of foreign notions our multitude of ma. ritime regulations from the time of Richard 1. and the laws of Oberon, were so mixed up, the essential with the offensive but tswiecessery part, that they had procured us the title of tyrants of the seas. He alluded to the case of the British sufferers, who had their property seized by the Danish Government after the attack on Copes'• tagen, but had nut received any remuneration nut of this fund, though there was a precedent in their favour. but they were told Inv one of the Ministers that it was a hall piece lent, and would never again be followed; an that this groissid of merit fur the ; fond might slaty be struck off the claims. Ile coothuted by ispologisieg to the House for the length of time he had occupied their attention. Nr. 37ARRYATT stated some abusers in the West lathe Islands. • Mr. C. W. WYK, explained the circumstance of the pension which had been mentioned. as en. . joyed by a noble relative of his: it wu true thou • he had such a pension in 1801, bat he shortly et terwards gave it up. He opposed the plan of the Honourable and Learned Geotleutan. because it went to impose a certain expense on the country iu the emnpeusation which was p►oposed to be given in lieu of it if given op by the Crown. As the fund, by the plan of the Right Hon. Gentleman. would be brought under the cognisance of Peelausept, if et say time there was any considerable surplus, it _ •~--- _ would undoubteilly be ap t ,lied for public purposes. He therefore should oppose the 11..-Trued Gentle man's motion. _ ...... Sir JOHN NEWPORT supported the Learned Gentleman's motion, because he thenht "11 a power liable to abuse. As lo the 41 per ce n t, duties, the surpluses might be applied to keeping up the fortifications of the respective islands; lout he would ask, had it ever heeo done As to the any interference with them would certainly be reprobated as indecorous and improper. He concluded by saying, it gave him the greatest sur. prise to observe with what coolness Nlimsters. when the investigation of the Ci►il List system wasp 'ken of, always referred the House tosome and invariably when that period attired, said, "this is not the lime," Mr. Macoue au) raid, that the great inconve niences experienced from the old system of the Civil List should have prevailed on Ministers to deviate from the course of inaction they usually I followed, and to propose some change which might be for the advantage of the public. At the ccm imelicemesit of the Regency, and again in the year 1816, it had been held out by his Nlajesty's Ser i rant% that at the b eg i tttt log of a new r e ign , a tit 1 opportunity would ari-e for re • g the arrange mem& of the Civil List ; but little could Parlia ment have then imagined, that wheu that pe rind should arise, Honourable Gentlemen holding office would stand up on the opposite ride of the House, and oppose the recommeodsrion col the same grounds of delicacy before urged. It seemed then that such a thing as revision hail iiever been really intended, and that the promise of it was a mere ad eaptandam argument.--(Hear./—lt seemed that the same mystery, and obscurity, and disingenuity, were still to be the characieristics of the Civil List, and that it was still to be left in the situation which he had no doubt had frequently produced unmerited obloquy on the Royal Family among the public. They came to that debate with one signal advantage—the known disposition of his Majesty, expressed from the throne, not to place any new burdens on his people. Hut what else could have been the ferhogs of a King, looking around limn his throne oit the general distress and sufferings of his subjects ?—(Hear./—The first de sire of a Nloisnrch aocircumstauced must have hero. that all the arrangements rerpectiug his support and revenue should be directed to the public convenience and benefit, rather than to hie own personal grfttitira tion—fnear, hear/.—lndeed he thought that his Majesty had in this respect been dealt with rather unfairly by his advisers. He had been made to tell Parliament, that he d.d loot desire any addition to the provision made in 1816, to a provision by which 236,000/. had been virtually added to the Civil List.—ln the state of the country lie wished to ask what Minister would have incurred the respon sibility of putting language of an opposite nature into the King's mouth? Why had he not been ad , wised to say to Parliatueot that he wished they would take the whole of the subject into their consideration without any reservation, and that if any reduction in the revenues before granted should be considered ne cessary, that he would be the firm to rejoice at such reductiou ?—(Hear.).--But by the course pursued, Parliament was in some intoner led to deliberate on the qoestion, according to • pre-established settlement—a settlement in the accounts relative to which the Noble Lord, not then present (Lord Castlereagh), had not admitted there was an error to the amount of 113,0001—a settlement made, u the Noble Lord had said with reference to • time of war, and a time when the prices of a number of articles of consumption were extremely advanced. But now it war known that there was a fall in the prices of agncultursl and commercial com modities of learn twenty to twenty-five per cent.— /Hear.) —The circnmstances of the country impe riously imposed on Parliament the duty of • thus rough and complete inquiry into every brooch of expenditure. They were bound to look at the first principles of the establishment of the Civil List, and if these were found iii their results to be disad vantageous and unsatisfactory to both King and peo ple, the stonier they were departed from the better. The lion. Gentleman proceeded to argue that none of the objects proposed by the formation of the Civil List at the commencement of the lute reign had been attained. A sum of 1.50,0001, was charged on the Consolidated Fund for the Royal Family; and though the private expenses of the Crown had been limited to 60,000!. a-year, the papers on the table sliewed that it had bad (luring the late reign the disposal of funds to the amount of 380,0001. In theory he might assume that the present Civil List was productive of no pos amble advantage; the other question was, whether it worked well in practice? To enable the House to judge of this, he should just mention that times had this indissoluble engagement between the King and the country beam violated, mid al ways on the some side, that of arrear—(Hear, hear, hear.)—la 1772, Mr. Burke had thought lie had precluded the possibility of any rrrrr. r. mid so would any one have thought. But it was whim. sical to observe with what contempt Minister* had constantly meudled with the regulations of this list. But the fault was nut so vouch their, as that of the system itself. Mr. Pitt, in 1804. and the Noble Lord, in 1816, had relieved the Civil list of charges nearly to the amoutit of four hundred thousand pounds, which was about half the whale sum for which it had beets originally granted to his Majraty.—/ Hear, hear./—.H e thought lie might infer, that the existing system was productive of no single advantage—that it was coin plicated in its nature and details, and wily served to mislead tile judgineot sold *mote the feeliogs. His view of the object to be admitted wits to situ plify, if not to reduce (though lie thought this part of the object deserving of all possible adieu tui) the entite system. With reference to the at taiiiiireest of the former, he would limit the extent of the Civil List to the first four chaises that at preload appeared on it. This change world have the effect of bringing all charges of • contingent and flactuaritig nature annually under the cosiri eleration of Parliament. And if these four heads came fairly under the 'elimination of the House, he was persuaded that the Crown would he sated, by • permanent settlement, time humiliating step of ever applying to Paeliaineut fur relief. With re. sleet to the 11 per 'cent, duties. the Crown had just as much right to appropriate them to its owes sue as the malt or guy other !white hut ; sad lemma student mid imatereoriel the right of tie Crown was to other (traits, it was quite Clem . , fi • n the luminous statement of his Hon. and Darned Friend who had opened the delrate, that there were duties to be performed co-existent and ces-rateiniive with them.

Moreover, if this op portunity were suffered to pass, and it should be-af terwards attempted to bring the subject under the view of the Home, it would immediately be said, " You are precluded from this inquiry, the arrange ment has been tilredy completed."—(Hear, hear)-- The only thing that Parliament was called on to do by the mr , lloll.

The House would recollect that now, for the first time, there wi re papers before them, containing on ac count of all fonds received by the Crown iu addition to the revenues of the Civil List during the late reign It would herald that these receipts were 'mead over a period of sixty pens, but it was likely that the greater part of them accred in the last twenty years. And before voting a sum of 850,0001. •-year to the Crown, it became the House to see how much it was already in po ion of. He did slut agree with his Hon. and Learned Friend, that in case of • differeirt application of the droits being provided for, a compensation to the Crows should necessarily follow. He was as anxious as any man to support the dignity of the Crown. but he could not forget that all the sources of manioc in the country were io a state of decay.—(Hear, hear.) — Surely the question could not be 'settled without some reference to the state of the country. Ile "ref his ~/y est y tad tiOlesiFire3 ohne 'sacrifice to the distressed sod impoverished condition of his people. He (Mr. Tierney) lived at a time when distress prevailed over the country. from one end to the other, when (as the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite knew) there was a falling off in the re venue of the list year, exclusive of the sew duties, of 1,400,000/., compared with that of the preced ing one—when gentlemen of property, and all classes in the Suite. were obliged to contract their expenditure, and anxiously looked for an exam ple of economy in the highest quarter of the State, and he said that at such a time not a farthing should be granted not absolutely necessary. He did not see what possible injury could arise from taking the subject into consideration, for that was all the motion required. lii his bumble opinion. those funds ought to he carried in aid of the gene ral resources of the country, sod if the motion should be rejected, that would be • good ground for him to dissent from the Resolution for the grant of 050,000/. a-year, because in case of such a result the Crown would be in possession of other funds of indefinite extent. The CHANCELLom of the EXCUEOU BR observed, that $l4 an earnest of what might be expected, by 'pursuing the inquiry recommended, four Gentle men on the oupo%lte side had expressed their senti ments, each holding out an arrangement something different, and rack bring incoLaistent with himself. —(A lailk.)—tho the other side IP was proposed to P.rliament to continue that system which had been for some years in operation— ( /augh)—which by experience was well understood to be far brtter thou any of their newfangled plank— ( Laegltfer.)—He felt that veneration for the old system, with its antiquated garb, which would not suffer bun to overturn it to suit the views of mo dern convenience. The experience of some years had shewn the revenue settled in 1816 ►o be side. quate to the support of the Crown, sod that settle ment was Ives than the expenditure of some preced ing years by 135,0001. This was now proposed to be renewed; 438,0001. had been taken from the allow. one's for the Civil List in 1816, in consequence of the late King'. demise, and transferred to the Conso lidated Fund. The Hight Hon. Gent. defended the conduct of Government iu the year 1801, in re spect of the vessels of the Northern Powers, and after some further remarks said, he had no objec tion to lay before Parliament an account of ell these Drum from the year 1764 to the present time. Sir Josapa Yoaxa said, that be was one of those who were most glad to he able In give their support to Ministers, but till someauswer was given to the arguments on the opposite side of the House, he felt himself obliged, us an independent Member of Perliamesst, to vote for the Committee. Lord A. HAMILTON spoke in support of the motion. Mr. B. BATHURST opposed the motion. Mr. BROUGHAM. in reply, said, that with all respect fur the Right Hon. and Hun. Members who had spoken on the opposite side of the House, he had heard nothing satisfactory in answer to the reasons lie hod urged for the adoption of his mo tion. He had been greatly surprised at not hoeing heard those Law Officers of the Crown, who were ae great an o►nament of the Crown as its d►oits.— /A bash/—h a Ind a lso been surprised st the ob. mace of Se Hors. sod Learned Friend of his (Sir C.

He understood that while be was oat of the House, an Honourable relative of the Noble Cord gave au exple cation of the circumstance, and that the pension had been given up. He was rejoiced that it was so, but lie should sincerely lament that if in consequence of his unfortunate notice of it, he should lose the vote and sup port of the Hon. Member, especially as the Hon. Heather had on a former occasion given his support to a similar motion. One word more, he begged to say, in explanative of the nature of this question, which seemed to have been misrepresenter'. This motion was dot for an inquiry into the funds is etituting the Civil List, but it was with a view to the establishment of a Civil List. He bad been scraped of inconsimeneya it desiriag to enter into • minute inquiry into the funds belonging to the Crown, which 'would occupy much time, considering that previous to the dissolution of the last Par liament hr had desired to hurry the Civil List through the House within one fortnight. This, however, was nut the case; he sever wished to have the subject hurried through Parliament; it was with the Right HoteGent. opposite, slid his colleagues, that the inconsistency lay, for they had re. fused to enter upon the question during the last Parliament, wide/ the pretence that the House mild not then pay suf ficient attest ion to the subject ; and now that there was every disposition to canvass it anxiously and carefully, the Ministers of the Crown were the fist to prevent it.— (Hear.)—But who wanted to confine the question to tete fortnight ? Were there not six months provided by law for the discussion, but the Right Hon.Gruilemaa would not take adimatage orates.? The preseut milieu was, however, stigmatised as an innovation, a disrespect to the Crown-- an Ainevirontres, and not consistent with the" olden time," and yet the only reason alleged against it was, that it would occupy some time, not exceeding at the utmost three or four weeks. " I am accused," said Mr. Brougham, " or wishing to tear away the ornaments and drapery of the Crown, and of desiring to exhibit our Sovereign as ' a stipendiary Kier, on board wages, who might dine at a chop-house, sad be stinted to a. mach meat as be could devour.'
