of the House to his Majesty's 11hosage relative to
the pension, a hicb 'Lis Majesty's Government con-
ceived due to the -distinguished memory of that
gallent officer, whose useinory was so generally
reverenced, and whose death was so universally de-
plored. The Noble Secretary then took a view of
Viscount Lake's services in Germany, in the seven
years war, and in the contest with America, ;t
Micelles, and, above all, in that illustrious actions
at Delhi, where,.by the rapidity of his movements,
and the eventual success of his anny, he added to
the glory and security of thh British character in
India. He then 4, el ncluded by moving, "That the
lions* should allow the annuity of 0001. to be
grouted out of the C:ouselidated Foul to the pre-
sent Lord Lake, and the next lwir male bearing
the title of that family, to commence from the
• 1t! of i.ipteen her, 1,403," whirls was agreed to.
'l'lu" Earl OF LAVDERDAI.I. expressed u sanguine
hope that the proposition he: iias about to make to
the House, nou4l. meet with their • hearty con-
currence. It was to move the order of the, day
for the second readhig of the bill for prevent-
ing the bestowing of *Secs, places, and sine-
cures, in reversion. The evil had been, he amid,
givowilig of lute years se rapidly, that our
statesmen had eatertaiued ,upprehensions lest it
might terminate in the dissolunion of the free prin-
ciples of the constitution. lle was aware this Bill
bad, on two former occasions, been rejected in that
House, niter having passal througla the: Conlmoivii
without any opposition ; he hoped, however, times
had changed, and prejudices had been removed,
and that the partite' arrangement entered into, last
Session, by the Commons, to facilitate the oper-
ation or this Rill, would lead their Lordships. to
adopt the principles and support the provisions of
the Bill. Ile .concluded witli moving the second
reading of the
Lord A twex felt it his duty to remind the House,
in a few wonis, of the nature of the Bill before
them. He thought it a violation of the•constitus
tio,ml prerogatiie of the King, since it deprived
him of the liberty to reward his old and worn out
trusty servants, with these situations which hitherto
had been the support of his dignity and autho-
rity. lie therefore felt it big duty to give the
House this wanting on the aid:tire% and hoped they
would defend the Prerogative of the Crown agaiwst
any ovcrwee ~ itt g spirit of tuuovatiou.
In these remarks he was answered by Earl
SPICNCER, who conceived it high time to make
some improvement in this branch of Government.
Places, he conceived. especially in reversion, were
so many weans of sapping the public virtue, and
wealeainz the cattle of national freedom.

Lord IIAWAIDOWILY said, he hal no objection to
the Bill inevting a fair trial, but he thought it
would be [etter to refer its merits to a Committee.
(if this opintou also, the Lunt CHANcsi.Lot dated
himself to be. lie entered iiitu his defence, on a
fueider occasion, when he had procured the Sarni
Bill to be thrown out of that House; ho would, on
the present occasion, be smistied.to refer it to a

.see no just reason alleged
,us the Bill for de-
priving the King of so great a portion of his
Royal Prerneative. He did not see reversionary
grants as such • serious evil as the Noble Lords,
his friends, had described them ; and until he sew
jester reason foe changing his sentiments, though
no enemy to reform. he must oppose unjustibable
innovation. (Hear ! hear !)

adopt as to dividing the Bill into two
' The CneitctuAa of the EXLMEQLER answered;
that he at first thought it would be most desirable
to do so, hut he now found no necessity for it, as
the clause which rendered it necessary might be left
out.
