directing their Lordships 'Jowls totliat point, as the

Noble Lord then moved that the Petition be read.
The Petitiuts was rend. It is the same as that
oleic's, it wilt be reulembered, was presented to the

From these stittilleisto lie felt himself justiied in
concluding, that a very considerable share of the
laineutable increase of crime which has been re-
marked of late years, was to be attributed to the
peculiar circumstances of the country, and was the
natural result of s transition from a state of war to
a state of peace.
The of LA NJDOWN said. that he should
not have troubled their Lordships on the present
subject, were be not unwilling to suffer the Noble
Earl opposite to run away with his opinion that the
chief cause of the lamentable increase of crimes,
stated in the Petition, was " the transition from a
state of war to a state of peace." This opinion he
considered the more fallacious, from the circum-
stance that this progressive increase of crinticom-
menced not at the close of the war, but some years
previous to the cessation of hostilities. He, how-
ever, dill not nit:wine that to any one cause alone
could this evil be attributed. It must have arisen
from the combination of various circumstances—

Weer, knit-, from the Treasury Benehesi—from
the united influence of many latent, and per-
haps some apparent causes. These he did not feel
houself at present hound to notice, nor to consider
how far their operations might severally extend.
Much must be attributed, however, to the increased
pressure of taxation, which, by producing
misery, must generate offences. Much also
must, no doubt, have arisen from the return of
were, by throwing back upon society a considerable
number of *oldie's mid sailors; but on this point he
had made many inquiries—he had converted with
Magistrates most anxious in the discharge of their
duty, and from them lie collected that it was •
matter oh surprise how few soldiers and sailors could
be charged with the commission of offences.—
(Hear, hear, from the Treasury lienehet.)—He
was aware that it might be argued, that these soldiers
and sailors, though not personally implicated in the
commission of cruise, might, by the state of their
families, or their indirect effects upon society, be
the cause of souse mischief. There, however, was
one predointitasit cause to which he•believed by far
the greater portion of the demondunition complain-
ed of must he attributed—that was the internal
state of the prisons. lie by no means meant to
threw any censure upon those who had the care and
superintendence of such places, because he be.
belied the evil war inherent in the system ; but it
was impossible front what had transpired on this
subject, nut to be convinced that the prisons were,
generally speaking, the nurseries of crime, the
very school. of wickedness—where the character of
then inmates because so utterly tainted, as to pre-
clude every hope of amendment. This point in-
volved the consideration of the increased number
of juvenile delinquents. At no former period were
there so wally chaldren implicated in the commis-
sion of crime. us at the present. This was a point
well meriting their attention, particularly as it
seemed peculiarly within the scope of the Legis.
!store to prevent it. With respect to the state-
ments made by the Noble Earl opposite (Earl of
Liverpool), it was to be observed, that they did not
bear out the comparison he desired to institute be-
tweeu the former and the present period. The
country was not now at the immediate close of a
mar. Four years had nearly elapsed since its ter-
uiinutiou, %Ink the statrinents of the Noble Earl
did not extend beyond the year next after the
America's war.

marked, that his statements went as far as to the

THE ISLAND OF JAVA.
The Marquis of LA rsspown gave notice, that he
would, on Monday next, move for the product'
of the instructions issued to the British Authi.rities,
after the Peace of Paris, relative to the gi vini,• up
of the former Dutch Colonies, and particularly of
the Island of 111/111.
CARE OF THE KING'S PERSON.
On the motion of the Earl of Livaitroot, the
House resolved itself into r Committee upon the
Bill for the Care of his Majesty'. Person.—lo ilia
Committee,
Lord HOLLAND rose, and hoped thud, in offering
his sentiments upon the mode of proceeding adopt.
ed iii this case, lie should not he understood as
making the slightest objection to the principal ob.
jec► of the Bill, or to the appointment of the Duke
of York to the custody of his Royal Parent's sa.
creel person. No one could be more highly tin.
pressed than he was with the propriety of this
choice; for whether his station in the country, his
relation to the Royal sufferer, his character or ge-
neral condoct were considered, no individual could,
under every circutnstance. be better calculated
fur that high trust than his Royal Highness. But
he objected tb that clause of the Bill, which pledg-
ed the House amid Parlia►nent to the principle,
that the curios persona of his Majesty, who-
ever that might be, shottlet-lave the lull power
of appointing and nominating within the King's
Establishment, without its being previously ass
certained what that Establishment was. Nothing

could have been rimier than to postpone that clause
until the House had the opportunity of pre-
viously determining the nature of the power it was
willing to grant. The constitutional objection to
the creating of an haperisho itayserio, was by no
means weakened by the arguments and observations
of the Noble Earl (Liverpool) on the preceding
evening. The Noble Earl had indeed on that
occasion stated, that there was no intention
of increasing the Windsor Establishment; hut
this went no further than merely to convey the No-
ble Earl's determination—it by no means preclud-
ed the power of Parliament to enlarge that Esta-
blishment ; so that while the House seemed to rely
on the Noble Earl's determination, and granted
this absolute power, they might fluid themselves
bound by the second Bill to grant a much more
extensive patronage to an individual than was con•
sistent with the safety, or at least the principles of
the Constitution. But what security had they that
even the Noble Earl would not alter his present
opinion ? If his memory deceived him not, it was
during the last Session of Parliament that the No-
ble Earl changed his opinion on another measure
relating to the Royal Family. He had previously
come to the House and declared Ins firm determina-
tion, but having subsequently a conference with •
certain number of Gentlemen, who were aptly de-
nominated a little Parliament, he thought proper, in
obedience to their suggestions, to depart from his
original intention. The present Session was not as
yet of long duration, yet even since its commence-
ment the House had a notable specimen of the
facility with which the Noble Earl could change
his opinion. When the Noble Earl (Lauderdale),
with his accustomed accuracy of statement and
reuniting, urged the neceuity of an immediate
inquiry into the affairs of the Bank of England, as
connected with the measure of a return to cash
payments, the Noble Earl opposite immediately
expressed his determination to oppose any such pro-
position ; yet but • few days elapsed when the
Noble Earl informed the House, that having had
a conference with another " little Parliament,"
composed of the Bank Directors, he had altered
his intention, and had himself resolved to propose
that very measure which he had previously stilts
ed his determination to resist.—(Hear, hear.)—
It thus appeared that the Noble Earl could cheep
his mind very rapidly, and that lie was much more
ready to acquiesce in the opinions of his chance
" little Parliaments" than to those who happened to
speak from the Opposition side of the House. As
these snug little Parliaments, however, were occa-
sionally afloat, why might it not happen that a little
Parliament might be formed of the Lords of the
Bedchamber, and of such other persons who may
be well disposed to such establishments ? And why
might it not happen that on their remonstrance the
Noble Earl would change his mind, and determine
not only that the prevent Establishment at Windsor
should not be decreased, but think that his Ma.
jesty, having now lost a faithful and fond comps.
Bien' of sixty years, might require. :Is if it added
to his comfort, an extension of his former splen-
dour ? The House had nothing to rely ou as a
mums of obviating the inconvenience that must
arise from such an event but the assurance of the
Noble Earl's present intention ; but with so many
proofs beliire them of its instability, could their
Lordships act on such a motive ? concluded by
moving, that the clause to which he ivies red, grant-
big the patronage of the Royal Establishment,
whatever it might be, to the guardian of the King'is
person, should he omitted.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, tint no difference
could be felt upon the great principle of die Bill.
All agreed, that the care of the Ding's person
should be consigned to some iiiihittlual of the
Royal Family, and that this individual should be
the Duke of York was no km an object of general
riatisface . This point being determined, the
twat consideration embraced the dego'e of autho-
rity with which his Royal Highness should be in-
vested. The question was essentially distinct from
the extent of the Establishment. for it 'swirly
went to ascertain whether the castes persoNee
should have absolute control over the individuals,
whoever they might be, who should be ap-
pointed to attend oq the King's person, or whe-
ther his authority should be divided. That point
was essential, und should be first determined. N'ith
gespect to the extent of the Windsor Establishment,
he had no hesitation in stating, that bad a propo-
sition been made during the life of her late Majesty
for its reduction. he should have loubtedly op-
posed it. What those circumstance* inuy he that
caused in his mind this difference, it should be hi*
duty on another occasion to expliiiii, but lie could
not avoid remarking. that in training the Establish-
ment ou the former occasion, reference was had to
the condition of her Majesty, us Queen Consort,
and he was convinced, that if during her life
the Estublishment had been revised for the pur-
pores of reduction, the rights appettaining to her
Mujesty, in her capacity iit Queen Consort. would
have so far iuterfered as to prevent any such re•

", duction futon being consider...l.lr. The groninl

to the demise of her Majesty, sl 1.1
that whatever it might be, it should lee plated at
the disposal and sander the control of the Duke of
York. The question for the consid.-ration of the
House was, ohether, if no alteration were to be
nettle, they would refuse the superintentliog power
to the Duke of York? 1f they should nut—lnd he
did not imagine they would—how could they iu
the present state of things ? That inconveniences
would result from separating the patronage from the
custody of 'the person was obvious ; but, on the
other haul. the Noble Lord objected to placing
them in the same hands, and thus constituting
what be considered to be ati itippernitn in iesperio.—
He also disliked an itnyerimni its imperio. But it
was to be recollected that this, if it. could be so
called, had existed hitherto, and the only :legation
fur present deliberation ww.., whether it should be
continued. This was not the only instaime of an
alleged imperial; in itaperio ; the same argument
might be urged against the establishment of every
branch of the Royal Family. The Prince of
%Vales had the appointment of his own Chamber-
lain and other Officers ; but if any inconveiliences
resulted from that. they must balance again.t them
the advantages of that Illustrious Individual's sup-
porting ass establishment suited to his rank, his dig-
nity. and his place in the State. It' the Noble
Lord were repined to say that the present establish-
meld, supposing it to be continued, ought not to
Ise committed to the care of the Duke of York, his
objection might carry some validity—otherwise, it
did not seem to possess any.
Lord HOLLAND said, lie was not itt issue with the
Noble Lord on one point merely, as he supposed ;
his objection, in two words, was, that in passing
the Bill before them, their Lordships laid down a
principle larger in its CollselpleßCeb than these the
Noble Lord meant to draw. hem it. In addition,
he thought that the case would be much more in-
telligible to the House by pursuing a course dif-
ferent from that now intended to be observed ; but
he should not give them the trouble of dividing,
The Amendment was then rejected.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL then moved—" That
the name of John Jetferies, Marquis Camden, be
substituted in the Bill, in the place of that of Lord
Elleoborougli." He passed over the name of the
successor of the latter, not from any want of respect
for his character, but because occasional attend-
ance might he required, incousisteut with the du-
ties of his station.
Lord Hor.t.AND said, he drew a good omeu of
the retrenchments *unenvied to be made in the
Windeor Establishment from the appointment of a
Noblemaii who had made such a liberal sacrifice in
his owe case, about two years since.—(4 laugh.)
The motion was then put and carried.
The remaining part* of the Bill passed through
the Committee, and the House adjourned,

the Hot,. Gent. had given, the account had been
for some time in preparation, but it NUM drawn alt
from the 30th of December, IRI7, to the i!.sili of
