THE DUKE OF YORK. Question the Ist.--hots not his Royal Highness draw fo 'rage, or an allowance for forage, as Commander-in-Chief, 'hich enalles him to keep 30 horses at the public expense ; afid,might not the horses so kept convey his Royal Highness to and from Windsor at an expence not worthy of notice ? .4mm/fr.—His Royal Highness does not draw forage, for 30 horses; lie did so during the war, but they have since been reduced to forage for 10 horses; and this allowance, granted on a larger scale to all firmer Commanders-in-Chief, could nit in fairness and propriety towards the tillect for which it is issued, he applied to the maintenance of horses to convey his Royal Highness to and from Windsor. Qnestion the 241.---Is it not an act of unusual indulgence, in time of profound peace, to pay and employ his Royal High ness as Commander-in-Chief, the ditties of which office might be executed, as in former days of peace, by the Secretary at War Anneer.—Tt is not an unusual indulgence of his Royal Ilig!mess - to pay and employ a Commander-in•Chirf in times of peac-e, and the dwirg of the offire could not possibly.he ex,eculed Iry the Secretary at War, who is oecopital with ample duties ;It own office, even if it were a wist n►eaanre to plaer the discipliiw4d I¶i army in the bands of a ei‘ilian, rood reader the pat:lot:lee an accession to political ipflaeare.

Queition Ibt' ad.—Du the number of bankruptcies which daily take place in this kingdom prove that the country is in a state to deviate from any ancient plan of public economy .4, the haldirtiptcies 'may prove, tin an- cictit plait of pohlic economy hay been deviated front with refrrence to his 8. ,, yal Highne4 personally. Ile has done his duty to the cquntry, and all honest and liberal Britons • acknmOrdgeit. CUestitM the 4th.—Has not his Royal Hi;hness lent his *auction, o: a former occasioo, to a measure of economy, by filch the preseitt General Sir G. Beckwith was rested with the authority and rank of a General Officer, without receiving any additional pay as such, be being then employed as a Civil Govrrnor .einmer.—His Royal Highness nerve lent sanction to the in•-asure of economy alleged to have been adopted in the case of Sir G. Beckwith ; and for this plain reason, that welt yrorcelliag rye' , took place. Sir George «•as never deprived *if hi, pal• as a General Officer in the wanner asserted. QneNtion the h.—ls it not natural., just, and fair, to ex pect from his 11. y al Highness the saint attention to the pub- ,11:: interest in his own case, as hi the ease of others ? .4fresiver.—lt is " natural, just, and fair," that his Royal flightless alicuhl pay attention to the public interest, and he has always fiFinly, honestly, and consistently performed those duties wln.o the real and substantial interest of Lis country called for their exertion. OursOm the Gt h.—Are not the affowmices of " Commander of the Forces" abroad, struck (T' ; and does the situation of Enrope require that this kingdom should pay one Field Mar shal as Cominander-in-Chiel, whi !e the first Military Hero of Europe presides over the Ordnanc; DepartuleA, mid fills a seat in the Cabin& of the Realm ? Answer.;—The pay'and allowa.ers of the Commander of the Forces ahload, arenot struck off, with the exception of the Cape of Good Hope and Ceylon, where the military pay has been, struck ar by his Majesty's Ministers itr consideration of the civil income being 10,0001. a year ; and the situatitm of Europe and the military interests of the country do require that the office of CoMmander-ib-Chief should be filled, as it h, with advantage to the nation, thoach the great and de servedly praised Military Hero alluded - tit, does fill the situri tit.)n of Ilastet-aeneral of the Ordnance, and a seat in the Cabinet. 4-(i to his: it!iial 11 . 40ness drawing-60,0001. the coun try; the plain fact is, tiviit his income from the country, ex. viusive of his military income (which woulti he received b ethers if his Royal Highness were out of the cintstioa) atnontats exact!) . to 27,0001. a including the alicrwartce sdttied?i the D'nehess. Slo moat for Onosander's questions 7 J'Are you answered now ?" But as the attack appears to rest upon and have its grrintedtO the autos of his Majestey's person, we hare•a few teruarlts to •make upon that subject, and with ttienrwe . shall conclude: In the a'aiioot :perches we have read, we do not recollect to have fJund this pOint stilf.cientlY Pressed. It has beets wished b, the Opposition to Rave the'vestion considered in niie`poifitiOf view alone; the relation between 'father and son, resting npon the same givotinds' as the case of an individttal in firivate life having the care of his father." Now,"ltad thatflieen'the teal and fair way of viewing the subject, the Dukes would have rejected with disdain any consiietation of pecuniary recompense in the vceution of his duties as a son to a belOved parent. To be sktre, this : mode of consitlering the King and his son, as if they wercrno more than private individuals, may accord very well with one Party.—They, God knows ! hare given proofs enough of their wishes to curtail the state and dignity of the afflicted Kit)g 4, What need you 6rt,:arpl twenty, ten, or five ? What need But the real question is not orte of mere private individuals and private feeling . . Had it been so, what necessity would there have been for Parliamentary interference ? But it is a public question. The first Magistrate is the public property. The guarPlian of his person in his affliction is a public Ser vant ; he is accountable to the State for the performance of it ; it is conferred upon him by the Legislature. 'The Legis lature bad confided the important trust to the Queen, with such an allowance. After her decease the trust was confer red upon his }loyal Highness, without any 'reference to him Personally; and we do not see hoW he could, as a son and - a public servant, have declined the allowance which the Par liaiuent haci thought it rightito continue to the Custos, which allowance had been gratted to and . accepted by his Royal .'lot her. Would they have had him express by his refusal an implied censure on the Queen, and thus, by the condemna tion of the conduct of a deceased parent, have shown hisfit vexijto be entrusted with the care of the persou of a living putrat LONDON JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. [The Tinies] • Our Correspondence from Paris of this day is worthy of attention. The Kim; seems resolute to show the world that he is sincere, and earnest in the support which he lends to his Ministers. On a lute occasion he deliberately overlooked M. Barthelemy, wtio,stood 'rear his throne; and gave Messrs. Laine and Ravez a reception which was not calculated to make titrin ambitious -of surh another. The tumult at Nistnes is, in our private letter, described as a movement of the Ultra- Royalists, and the actors in it to have been the same class, of men who in the year 1815 signa lized themselves by their oncrageous persecution of the Protestants. The National Goard and Gendarmerie, tinder the Maryiess de Pa!, , ,ne, had rAkett tip anus for the protection of the public peace ; but -twenty of the rioters whom they had in Clistody were rescued by main lotce. the departure nt the estatette from that qu,rier, atiquilliiy had been pretty well re esta blished., [Morning Chronicle.] • 13y the Fle.ham, arrived in the Down, letters were yesterday received frnm But tiers Ayres, dated 2d of J intiary.—The Creole frigate bad ar rived at linenos AyleA Iron) England, to reli..ve. the Amphion, which vessel was to return honie, but (;niamoilore Bowles had received ortlers to re main in command, ut the St Slim).

There was a very severe attach on the Mite of YORK in a Morning Paper of Thutsdky last, which we had no opportunity to nor ice at the time, nor had *se then soficient information on the subject. The letter alluded to uas signed 0 nostril der , probably an Anagram, and consisted of a se ries of questions.—We find, however, in two Morning PaperS -of this day, what, consider ing as a very satisfactory answer, we have-adopt ed, and - now present it to our Headers, feeling a deep mtetest in whatever ..may relate to the welfare and dignity of the Royal Family. On the 20th oft, we expressed our opinions respecting the p:oposed abridgment of the• Windsor Establish ment, in, substance,, and in some passages neatly in the same words, as appeared in the maiden - speech, on this .subjeet, recently delivered in the [louse of Commons by Mr. PERCIVAL, and' which reflected so touch honour on that very promising young Senator, - We see him pleasure c6a) e for ward with a spirit of hereditary loyalty, as well as talents, intelligence and manly encrgyof character. With respect lot he care of our venerable'Sovereign, he deserves so much of his Country,that whatever may he his state, we conceive that every possible testimony of veneration and gratitude slinutd accompany hint to the end of his tneritoriou3 and exemplary life, and so faras regards the care of hiY Person," we conceive that no loyal subject through out the British Dominions would repine at offering so incalculable•a trifle as woulil be re quired flow each individual on an occasion which actually involves the dignity of the national cha • , racier. • There seems to be, %ye are sorry to learn, hifi one opinion that no permanent or adequate (An be given to the British Amerimin Coo or the rrsons engAged in the Newfounalod FMtevies, snider the late Ttenty with the United States, whilst the Americans are permitted to DUI' AND CURS their fish on the Coasts and Shores titentione4 in the first article of tbio impolitic Treaty. rice pet peftiai broils which took pidc : bettveett our fishermen and theirs before the late %vat- at the Ma4dalen Islands, and the lawles s conduct pursued by the Atnericiu fishermen ill destroying. the nets, and doing other mjschief to our fishermen, should have been recollected , and have prevented the present gratuitous cOnces" sions ; for the British , fishermen have no reined/ whatever against the recurrence of these aggres s sions, unless the• American vessels enter anY the British ports in these Colonies, which of course they tvi!l take great care to avoid.
