pursuing too far suggestions of economy, refuse to wake any arrangement of this Establishment, it would not follow that there would be no Esta- Wishment at 'Windsor; but should the House make one inconsistent with the dignity anti respect due to the Illustrious Sufferer, it would be sure to meet with a rejection in a fur ther stage, and the present Establishment would continue with all its unnecessary and surplus expences, so that the public, instead of being gainers, would be prejudiced by the en deavours of the House to diminish the expends of the present Establishment.—{Load cries of Ileac, hear, hear !)—Upon the whole, the Hon. Gen leman might be convinced by the tesult that et-wy aft elflpt had been Olathe to eCOnoinise to the 1110 St ex tent which was consistent with the re spect which was due to the Sovereign ; and lie trusted that when he came out 01 the Committee, lie would be persuaded to retract his opinion, • tiler than suppose that there was any disposition to overlook the wishes of the country. Mr. TIERNEY, its explanation, observed, that 'he already knew of the Act to which his atten tion had been called. He did -not feel disposed to prejudice the question ; but having the whole subject before him, what could be fairer than to take the .10,0001. it-year out of the Privy Purse, in order to apply it to an object, than which his Majesty. had he personally' the disposal of it, coedit not wish any thing wore desirable ? His wish was to do all that might be satisfactory both to the Royal Duke, who was to have the care of Isis Majesty's person, and to the Public. Mr. CANNING acknowledged that he did tills undetstand the opinion of the Right Hon. Gen tlest:ass, oamcly, that his Majesty bad no longer a riglit to the Privy Purse. He now understood that this was his theoretical principle, but that he did not internl to carry it into practice. Some further explanation on this subject took place bettveen IVIr. CANNING and Mr. TIERNEY, and 81,0 on the part of Lord CASTLEREAGH, after which the question was put, and it was una,:itnotisly agreed that it shookd he referred to the Committee, awl that the consideration of it should conic before the House on this clay se'u night. The Bill for the care of his Majesty's Person was read a second time, and it was agreed unani ntontdv that it should be committed to a Commit tee of the whole House to-morrow. It wus ordered that there should be brought up an altraet of the net produCe of the Revenue of the United Kingdoms during the four quarters preceding the sth of January, 1819, and also for the quarter of 1818. o Reports respecting Prison Ships were brought up by the General Officer, whose duty it to survey them. Mr. R. WARD presented Returns relative to the Royal Artillery.—Ordered to lie upon the table. Mr. LUSHINGTON presented certain Papers and Returns relative to the Revenue.—Ordered to lie upon the table.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. [d/Orduig Post.] THR LATE UNFORTUNATE ALLIANCE.—It must be gratifying to the friends of a certain Peer to bear,that an arrangement has taken place which has reconciled all parties. Our Readers will re collect, that we -stated a short time since, that the presumptive heir of a distinguished Lord had formed an imprudent matrimonial connexion. The female has consented to waive all claims, in con sideration of a moderate annuity for life. This step has saved both the individuals from ruin, and the intended legal steps for cutting off the entail have been abandoned. [!bforizing Herald.] MAPRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—On Thursday next Lord An9o!► will lead to tl►e hymeneal altar the beautiful and accomplished Aliss Phillips. After the nuptial ceremony, they will immediately leave town tor his Lordship's seat in Staffordshire.— Aiiss Phillips is in her 17th year, and his Lordship in his 23(1. br _TWELVE Houus.—G. WEBB reminds his friends that the present Small but Rich Lottery will be drawn in One Day. With only 6000 Tickets. the Scheme contains Two Capitals of 20,0001. and several others of 20001. 10001. &c. The whole of which will be decided next TUES DAY, February 9.h. WFBB'S Offices are at No. 9; Cornhill, and No. 17, Ludgate-street, where the commands of the Public are respectfully solicited. THE PUFF DIRECT.—WC hail with the greatest satisfaction the near approach of the Drawing of the present touch approved State Lottery, which will he decided in One Day, NEXT TUESDAY, the 9th instant. This Small Lottery, with only 6000 Tickets, contains Two Grand Prizes of 20,0001. which will no doubt be sold by G. CARROLL, at his Fortunate Offices, No. 19, Cornhill, anti No. 26, Oxford -street, as in the last Lottery he sold No. 2387, H Prize of 30,0001. and N 0.7003. a Ptize c,l 50001 in Shares; 'making a larger amount of Prizes sold by him than by any other Office-keeper. _ DREAMING TO SOME PURPOSE.-It iS a curious circumstance, but nevertheless a well-authenti catepl fact., that No. 5535, drawn a Prize of 30,000/. in the late Lottery, was bespoke by Bisu at the Bank, in consequence of an order given by a person who had dreamt that it would be drawn a Capital Prize. As this person did not feel: in clined to adventure so largely as to take a-whole Ticket, he purchased but a small Share, and the remainder was lett for --disposal to the Public.— The half was purchased by a Gentleman at Dart ford, and the remainder went in lesser Shares to various individuals. As this Number would in probability have been sold in a whole Ticke!, hut fur the circumstance of the person who amt of is having bespoke it, the Gentleman nreame possessed of the half must ho Ow.ibt Lel much obligation to his sleeping pa hie:. The Paris Papers of Tuesday last, which were du e this morning, have not a l rived. ITHE FUNDS.-CITY.-The situation of the Monied Interests has become rather alarming, front the determination of the Directors of the Bank not to prolong the redemption •of 40 per cent. upon the Omninm. The Jew party, who anticipated this refusal, have been persuading their connection to purchase all the stock pos sible for some time back, whilst they have, it is said, been privately selling immense cpantities of Stock, and bringing most of the pledged Stock into the Market. We stated on Wednesday Ct.! determination of the Bank not to "grant the prayer of the Petition, for which we were accused by the Jew party of being premature, bit the result h as proved the correctness of our informa tion. One eminent broker sold this morn ing u p war d s of 700,0001. Stock, and others have rushed into the House, anxiously en deavouring to get rid of their Stock at almost any price. Consols have been done as low as 76; for (he Account, and 761, for Money ; and from the distressed state of the Money Market, to make good die approaching payments upon our own and foreign Loans, a generll gloom preraiL..— Csnsols have been done for ills Account at 791 ; this difference of near two per cent. has already been severely felt by many respectable men, who have settled their acconnts at the present loss, and involved themselves in great difficulties. The settling day will be the 27th inst. This morning the Commissioners gave 77.1 for reduced, and were served generally by the Jobbers. Thanks were yesterday voted at the General Court of Proprietors c);' the East India House to General. Sir Tnom 5 1-114Lrip, for his gallant con duct .in India, after a discussion of some length respecting his hanging the Kilkdar of the fortress of Ta!vier. It was at length agreed to add to the Vote of Thanks, that the Court gave nu opinion at present upon this transaction. The chief subject introduced in the House of COMMONS, last night, related to the Establishment respecting His MAJESTY. We are as much dis posed to be friendly to national economy as the wannest partizan of Opposition, when' -it can be adopted consistently with the dignity of the Empire, and the veneration tine to the character and virtues of our excellent Monarch. At his advanced period of life, it cannot be` 'supposed that he will be much longer an the Country, The proportion -which each of his loyal Subjects might pay towerds tire support of the Establishment in question is incalculably trifling, and must be paid wit!) *aEcion and pleasure, rather than relucttsuc•e. We-cGnfess, for our own part, that we would rath.!r - tee the Eva blishment remain on its present beide 'till our venerable Monarch shall close his estimable life. It is due to his station, to his character, to his virtues, and: to his aflations. It is due also to the character of the Empire, and what ever may be the national bur•thens, as the expence in question must, from its nature, be merely temporary, we conceive that a loyal and generous People would bear them with chearfulness, rather than listen to those churlish and niggardly spirits wLo would abridge that ex pence. History will record this mean attempt to sully the character of an Empire, which, during his MAJESTY'S reign, has extended its own glory and given peace to the world. His MAJESTY has held torch a bright example of Patriotism, of po litical wisdom, of religious purity, and of private virtue, t o the fa.ture Monarchs of this and every country, and the honours cqicl: will be due to his memory must be grateful to the People if paid to him while living, as it is siill not impossi ble that he may yet be sensible of their respect, their esteem, and their affection. We cannot conclude without expressing our conviction that Ministers are incurring the dan ger of lessening the necessary strength of Gnvern rnent by too frequent concessions to a petulant, orly, turbulent, overbearing, and narrow-minded OPPOSITION, and we are persuaded, that such is the opinion of all judicious Politicians, and sound Patriots. throughout the United Kingdom.

I.—Will it be believed, that the French Ministry has proposed a law to enforce the principle of its own responsibility ! This is pro posing to dance in fetter's when they can be free. We fear the Nation, witnessing such unasked ge nerosity, will be tempted to exclaim, in the hack nied phrase, Timeo Danaos et Ilona ferentes.—We know that the Charter expressly says, Art. 13, that the Ministers are responsible,• and Art. 55, that the Chamber of Deputies has the right to im peach them :,—to be sure, the Art. 56 adds, that they can only be accused on account of treason and peculation. We do not know, therefore, why a new law was necessary, further than as a rider to Art. 56, which says—Particular laws shall specify the nature of these offences, and determine how they shall be prosecuted.—We will ask, was the law thus expressed by ..the Charter sufficient to try the late Duke de FELTRE for an unconstitu- Monal employmentof upwards of 30 millions ? If it was, why. was he not tried ; if it waa not, why have two years elapsed before a new law is framed ? Was it necessary to wait fbr the Duke's death, lest inconvenient revelations might be made by him in his justification ? Be it as it may, a new law is proposed, which we shall examine : but first, let us see what is the opinion of the Keeper of the Seals himself, who proposes the new law. It is not intended, says be, to specify the nature of the offences for which Ministers may be impeached, though the Charter, Art. 56, de clares it shall be so.—Ergo, the law now pro posed is not that intended by the Charter, but another. Is this, we will ask, fulfilling the Char ter, on which so much fuss is made.? But to re turn to the new law it will not specify the offences," because " to comprehend all cases would be an enterprize as vain as laborious." This is mot saying much for the high and chival rous honour of which the French boast, since even the Ministers, selected by the KING for their talents and probity, are supposed capable of as suming so many Protean forms to elude justice, as to render all hope of previously defining the cases impossible. It is not for a foreigner to doubt the authority of the Keeper of the Seals on suc h a p o int ; but what then is to 'be done ? Why, says. h e , ‘c the Government thinks it best to leave the matter to the equity and arbitrary p o w e r of the Judges," that is , the Deputies. — This is, indeed, being liberal. It says, Gentle men, we put ourselves in your hands—we want no laws but your opiaion—,if you .think that our coughing in your presence is a crime worthy of death, ne willingly submit, and lay down our heals with pleasure on the block. But: what if there should be found here an anguis itt herba— what, if instead of delivering up the Ministers bound hand and foot, this very principle were contrived to he a back door by which a wicked Minister coulti always escape, be the' charges against him what they might ; if he can only pro cure a majority in the House, it is no matter what crime he may have committed, all the laws of the State are abrogated in his case ; and if he can get one vote more . than three-eighths, or 31 out of SO Members, who will say, not that he is innocent, but that the crime, even High Treason itself, proved by overt acts, by positive evidence at the Bar of the. House, is not Treason, he es capes, laughs at his enemies, and •the offended laws of his country. We really want words to express our horror of an innovation which abro gates all laws, divine and human, in favour of one class or set of Men ; so that if 31 out of 80 can be corrupted by all the' powerful means which Ministers have at their disposal, we do not know any thing which they may not do with impunity. The Nobles and Priests wish for the re-establishment of privileges which confer on them all the honours the State can bestow, with the exemption from all. the burthens it imposes. We have often exposed, with due'abhorrence, their machinations to obtain these points ; but the Miniiters go far beyond them ; all laws, nay the Chartel• itself, shall be annulled as it respects them, and an action shall be criminal or virtuous only as it. shall he de termined by persons over whom they exert a direct influence. We leave them to conciliate this principle with the following articles of the Charter : Art. I. All Fret:; men are equal before ae a.v, whatever may tic their titles or rank. Att. 4. No person can be prosecuted or arrest exceptiug in tic cases fin - eseen by the law, and in the form that it prescribeb.
