Lord CASTLEREAGH then tutored—

"Ived—Tliet it is the op' • of this Committee,
that it is expethent a power sboislil he given to his floi.tl
lifetimes the Doke of York, to thaw sorts auto, from tlie
Privy Purse an 'nay be necessary. for the pivot.-sit of plo-

In answer in a (4iirsiints f BARREs—
Lord CASTIARF.AOII woiol, the oltit et of tile re-
solution was, to give to the Duke of York tie same
power which her Majesty had ellif))1.1i, natively, that
of superannuating or discharging any of lie ',tr-
youts of the King. The present provisior, how.
ever, went to rrlait, ill some degree, the powers glVell
by the clause in the Sid of the King, liking care
that the rum appropriated to this purpose should
not exceed the charges Hlreatly authorised by Par.
!lament, but leaving a discretion, *Vilma that
ainowit, to the Duke a York.
Lord CASTLEREAGH then moved—

" Resolved—That it is the opinion of Ihi■ Committee,
that the stun of IWO,. beinz oaofourlh i.f 58,000/., the
sum annually allowed out of the Civil List net'?litle to
the bile Queen Charlotte, be set apart, every emeritr of a
year, iu uhe receipt of Exchequer, as ■ portion of the Con-
solidated Fund of Great Britain and Ireland."

" Rraolveil—That it is Ike opinion of this Coattail Ire, that
the sum of 12,500/. being nue fourth i.f the sear of SO,iiiiol,
he paid every grimier of a year to his Roysi Higkurss the
Duke of Turk, to defray the expeuses of his Majesty's House-
hold."

Sir A. Horn observed, that he objected most
strongly to the saving effected by discontinuing two
of the King's equerries. Nothing would, he was
firmly convinced, shock his Majesty more, were his
faculties to he restored to him, than the knowledge
that, during his dines., two of his servants hail been
dismissed. He, perhaps, hail lost the regular op-
portunity of moving that the original number of
equerries should he appointed, but lie would ~rake
a motion for that purpose whenever an occasion
offered itself. tie begged to state his reason for
wishing the number of equerries not to be diminished.
They were the persons with whom his Majesty coo-
versed—persons of his own choice, and wholly ab-
stracted from politics. As a matter of feeling, there
could be no difficulty in bringing the House to
agree to the restoration of the origin.' number—and
the plea of economy could mot lime any very great
weight here. The ease must he argued either on
the ground of principle or of economy. Now, he
supposed the principle would be, •• if reason returns,
let his Majesty see that every kindness was praeu•ed
toward. him." ‘Vitli respect to economy, how did
it bear? The sum saved would be t thousand
a-year--and surely that was not In ohj•ct of such
magnitude as to call for this reduction? This
could not be cousidered a party quessou—it was
one which must come house to the breast of every
man present—and, therefore, he ventured to make
these few observations. He wished to know, whe-
ther he could submit hie proposition now ? and, if
not, when he could regularly do so?

After some conversation, with respect to the
most proper stage for proposing that sir eererries
should he attached In his Majesty's Household in-
stead offline, as the Co 11111 l 'tier recommended,
between Xlr. Tierney, Mr. W. Wynn, Sir It.
IVilso,t, and Sir A. Hope, it was at length sog-
gested by Nir. Tierney, that, when the Bill was
brimglit in, which, as in 1 13, would recite the
number of officers to be retained by the tusks,
said, of course, specify Orlone rtiiirru sea, it would
there be the ',roper time, when the House was o, -
cupied on the subject, to muse that six be ap-
pointed instead of fear.
Sir A. 11011 E said, he would follow the suggest
tiou of the Right Hon. Gentleman, because lie
wished to bring on the question ite a tatetible
shape, while the Home weir alive to it, and tint
when the whole of the business had passed from
the 'Mods of Gentlemen, and Parliament bad
become cool and careless on the sulijt-ct.
The Resolution was then agreed to—the House
bu wild the Report was ordered to he received
on Thursday next.—Adjourned till Thursday.
