DUKE OF BRUNSWICK.

Upon the Order of the Day tieing read—
The Earl of latemomot. shortly addressed the
House oil the suoject of His Majesty's Message,—
He thought it unnecessary to state at length any
arguments in favour of the Address he was about
to move, because he WM% persuaded it would meet
with no oppositioji. It would be considered that
the Illustrious Personagenrelitioned in His Majes-
ty's Message, had strong claims upon the generosity
of this country. The high rank which belonged to
him, his near connexion, as a relation to His Mr-
je.tr, and the Royal Family, the misfortunes which
hail befallen hint, amidst the eventful calamities of
Europe, and the brave and glorious struggle which
be and his father had made against the enemy, cud
in behalf of their independence, peculiarly entitled
him to the consideration of Parliament. It was
not his intention to make any motion which could
lead to a discussion, but lie should conclude by
moriug—
" That an humble Addreta be presented to His Maj►sty,
thanking him for his most gracioos Strasser, and assuring him
llial the HOW.e most readily concurred with Hi. Majesty',
request, and would CORlViliff of awaits to enable Hi. hluesty
to make sash provision fur his Serra' Highness the Duke
of Brunswick, as would be suitable to his rank and air-

follows.*
Lord HOI.LAND rose, nut to of any opposition
to the motion of the Noble Secretary, but rather
to state the reason of his concurrence, and to pie-
vent any future misapprehension. At the ssme
time, he wished to be understood that the motion
did not pledge him or the House as to the means of
raising that provision. The Ciiil List had been
greedy increased since His Majesty's accession
to the Throne, and many hail been the appli-
cations of this nature to that and the other
More of Parliament; but it would, in his
opinion, be less invidious, in these times, if such
provision could have been made from other sources.
Although many calamities had arisen in Europe,
which led to these particular misfortunes, yet it
would br reiollected that the war which produced
them, also increarrd those sources, the Drotts of the
Admiralty. to which he particularly alluded.—
Having said this, no loon more readily than himself
concurred in giving his vote, that such provision
ought to he made. for the reasons stated by the
Noble Secretary, his very near alliance to His Ma-
jests. his own dignity. sod his misfortunes.
the Earl of Ltvaatrout. observed, that it was
not usual to make provisions of this description out
of the Cmil List.
Lord HOLLAND explained, that it was not to the
Civil List he had particularly referred, though to
persons of the Royal Family, such provision had
been made from that fund, and this Illustrious Per-
son was so nearly allied as to stand in that situation,
but it was more particularly to the Droits of the
Admiralty, which were, to an extssordinary degree,
increased by the war, and which, therefore, were
the fittest source for providing for the extraordi-
nary calamities of the war ; and if the provision in
the present instance were made from that sourer, it
would have been le-s insidious, mid more pleasing
to His Majesty.
The Add►ess was agreed to, and ordered to be
carried up in the usual form.—Adipurnerl.
