Ile Ministers, if they persisted in pressing the

I,r.r pertioaciousness, and not exhibit threw sir sup.
opus of confusion and dismay which uppeirred
them. on a former night, ou hearing the
le,ervatiosis that came from their opponents. He
would not touch on the hackneyed sub act
west 4 of the public burden*, and the imperative
ate, of that House to use every exertion to alleviate
them. Ile fhould proceed to practical points,
and call their attention to a few of the items
of which the gross sum contained us the pre-
sent Resolution was composed,-with a view to
prose that Nliiiisters were acting profusely and
extravagantly in the expenditure of the public
money. Already bad the estimated of she Navy
and Ordnance service, amounting to upwards of
n,590,000/., been laid before them, and the Reso-
lution nose under consideration comprised a sum of
79,000/. By norrowly watching such an immense
expenditure, they not only discharged their duty
to tile public, but they were doiug un essential
entice. to Ministers themselves, who might be
taught, by their representations, to adopt a system
of econotny--svhich, if they once encouraged, they
might rest assured of carrying with them nits the
Cabinet the support of public feeling and opinion.
He emeriti now proceed to notice a few of the items.
In the first place, he observed the enormous limn of
8,1951. 12s. fur furniture for the Royal yecht—not,
as might be supposed, furniture for the vessel gene.
rally, but one room of it. Next was ass item of
8.43 e. for the exiwnses of the Noble Viscount
(Castlereagh) and the Duke of Wellisigion, during
their stay at Aix-la-Chapelle. the did slot think that
coy such expense was necevairy, and he hod yet to
Irani what advantage had resulted to the country
burn the visit of the Noble Viscount sod the Duke
Wellington to the scene of the late uegociationa.
The whole of the business would, he beliesed, have
been transacted just as well if they had remained at
home, by the iatervention of any ordinary channel.
Indeed, it was perfectly understood, that no tit.
iatigement had been agreed to at Aix-la-Chapelle,
which had not been fixed and decided long be-
fore. the Noble Viscount visited that town, or the
Monarchs who had shambled there. Another
item was 13,3001. expended its entertaining the
Craud Duke Nicholas. He never could con-
went that such a sum should be mid out of
ties public purse for et Elul Visitor. The
principle was radically vicious--and she expendi-
ture might have been 50 or 100,0001. instead of
the sum now called fur. He nest observed. the
enormous sum of 20,0001. for law elpenaelts and
10,597/. for presents to German 'LIMON Ike. With
respect in the next item, which was 12,5101. 6s. 7d.
for sniff-boxes, and was the moat elllfoottimary of
the whole, he meant to move that it be struck
Out.—(Cries of " Herr, hear !")--On what
griund could Members justify such a charge as
this ? He hoped the House would not be satisfied
with the stale answer, that such a practice had pre-
vailed heretofore. The practice was bad and ought
so be discontinued. The extreme pressure of tax-
ation oh the people of this country rendered the
most rigid economy necemary—and, impressed wills
that feeling, they had, on a former evening, cut
off from the Royal Establishment at Windsor, two
gallant officrra.—ose of whom, Sir Brent Spencer,
bad served his country for forty years. and had often
shed eis blood in her defence. If they had dis-
nsissed such a men, to SSW a Wiry pittance of
500/. a-year, could they now lavish, 20, 30, or
40,0001. extravagantly. profusely, and Immerse*.
