any impediment lii the way of the settlemirit on say occasion
so auspicious to the ennistry. It now clearly appeared, that
this was an addition of 30,0001.
Mr. I %iIiNGTON said, the 30,0001. would ce,oe when this
establishment was voted ; so that, iu fact, there %%mild he no

Mr. Haar-Go:an euntended, that all l'arliammit inieuiled to

Mr. Ti s.uNI'V observed, that it had been derided, in addi-
tion to the ti, 14101. to charge the Lord Steward's department
1.5.0001. a year, and the other department 10.0091. The great
objection to this vote was the manner of doing it. When it

no security. by agreeing to the present vote, fir the Civil List
beaus; relieved from the eliary in future. When so large a
sum as 60,0001. tees asked for, lie thought her Royal Highness

'but here she was only to have a private establishment, like a
private gimilewoman ; in that ease, 69,0001. was too meek ; it
was a !Manierel waste of the public money. She was to live is
a house where it was impossible to spend it—(llan', hear) -
either in town or in the house belonging to a Baronet iu the
country. %Vas it intended that her Royal Highness was to

Lord CASTI.EIi FAUTT observed, that the Right Hon. Gent. put
questions mid answered them This was a very amus-
ing dramatic moide, but lie begged (ease not to art a part in such
a conicity. In respect to the Establishment, lie As 011111 state

for outfit, and as to tle• residence' it' Ps I Hameln wished to pro-
vide any thing on that g I, her Royal Highness wished it
might be done for a country residence, rather than fora town
residence.
Mr. TIER soy denied that lie was actioe any other part, than
for the benefit of the conntry and in mikon is rah tit reeling S—
. new., hear. )—The question was a eloper one, and required
an answer; lie might represent his conduct in ally other quar-
ter as he disuse; but he would say, while there were so unary
palaces, he would not tote ;toy money for a country residence.
He wished to know, as their Rural Highnesses preferred a
country residence in private, why Crombourn Lodge would not
do. Notwithstanding all the increased expellees, we had no
spew for our moues-.
Mr. flitouonam maintained, that if her Royal Highness was
to live in privacy, then the sum how demanded was by far too
much. Ile mast again repeat his satisfaction that a matrimo-
nial engagement had taken place ; but lie was bound not to vote
the country's money without seeing that it was properly soled.
As to the Noble Lord's ignorance of her Royal Highness's in-
tentions, It was evident that if she held aCinirt (awl hold a Court
she ought), it could not be held at Camelford House. With re-
spect to this private Establishment, it had cost the country
37,0001. a-year ;to add 23,01001. and it into a Royal Esta-
blishment, Wits a gross miscalculation-4s ice 3(1,0001. would not
do. He shonlil, therefore, move (in toiler to olotain better infor-
mation) that-the Chairman should report progress and ask leave
to sit again.
Mr. METHI7N wished to know from Ministers, when the
00,0001. was paid annually, whether the charge on the Civil List
was to be cleared off. • At the same time he wished it to be put
to the good sense of their Royal Highnesses to bring their Es-
tablishment within the sum now demanded. _

lord C.% TLEREAGH Said, that he had distinctly stated that
this stun wits the only one the illustrious parties would have for
their own maintenance.

I. C. it Nast contended, that this House were bound to
enquire into the expenditure of the sum now proposed to be
voted ; nor had it been dearly stated bow the grant was to be
taken. He had heard that the ladies in attendance upon her
Ito.val Highness had not been paid; but he cold(' not believe
such a report, atler the Noble Lord had stated the contrary.
Mr. VANSEITAHT entered into au explanation of the disburse-
ments of the Civil list. The only tick% ing was leaving a
deficiency of ilti,oool. unprovided for.
The question for reporting progress was put and negatived
without a division and the blank was tilled up with the words,
" Sixty Thousand."—The report was then received.
