THR LATE QUEEN.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the
Appropriation Rill be read a third time.
Dr. LUSHINGTON said be bad no other opportunity to
complain of the greet therein armed, to the amount of 12,3001.
to defray the demands of the late Queen's English creditors
who bed provided her Majesty with o goods or labour." This
would include many persona who bad absolutely advanced
money to ber Majesty. The learned gentleman then read oor-
respondeoce that had takes polaris with the government soon
after hen Majesty's death. he laid a full account of ber affairs
before the ministers. The English claims ae her Majesty
were 44,0001.; of which thole were foreign °lobos 0,0001. or
10,0001. The assets were 10,3001.; this grunt sou 12,3001. ;
so that a coosiderable amount remained anprovided for. The
Italian property bad Au* of oestaiderable value; bat he la-
mented to lay, that mesh of it bad been taken away, suet. bud
been the repeal', of persons there. If be could make the Ita-
lian creditors to look to the Italian property, all would be well,
but uthellenetely they ewe to him as the executor. He should
adopt sec► prumedinge es wield be warranted by the Italian
laws, sod he hoped they would be without effect. He was
gratified no thick that the debts bad sot resulted from the
Queen's extrevageou:—her family bad, oa the contrary, been
oondeoted with economy and striae's,. He trusted that the
ministers would recollect tbefascrillees that bad foamed, been
made by her Majesty lee having forges* a portion of the income
granted by parliament. One yeas's saving or sacrifice would
meet all those demands which were now onprovided for; sad
Le thought it would be for the honour of this country, as well
as the oreslit of ministers, to discharge all the Queen's debts.
LUSHINGTON said, he should shortly reply to what
Lad fallen from his bon, relative. The provision of which his
frilled hod complaioed was introduced to protect her Majesty's
British creditor., as without such a prevision none of thy Eng-
lish creditors could have been paid till the foreign property
was disposed of, cad then they must have shared with the fo-
reign creditors, The ooimuittee bad considered it would tic
much more disgrenefel if they left persons who lieu iernished
her Majesty with necesseriea unpaid, than it woad have been
to leave persons of supe.ior rank, id ability, woo bad granted
luau to her Majesty, to experience a little risk.
Br, LUSHINGTON explained.
M►. HUME thought all her Majesty's debts ought to have
been paid, wiles it was 000sidered that for six years her Ma-
jesty received only 35,0001. a year indeed of 30,0001. which
had been granted by Parliament to her in Hill. He &intended
that her Majesty wan entitled to a sum for outfit for me riages,
hurses, furniture, &o, and acid It was plain thet government
expected to he called on to make good there charge., otherwise
hy what right did they send persons to investigate these
°Melee He thought all the English creditors ought to be
lnd, As to the foreign coeditors. be would not advise that a
single shilling should be 'deemed on their account till the
foreign properly was ammeated fo►.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended the
appropriation of this grant. He denied that faith had Pot beet
kept ‘sitti her Majesty. She had been treated with liberality.
II pert of her outlit bad been defrayed by advances made to
her. If she was afterwards ludeleed for ca►riages, &c. go-
vernment wee nut pi' dged to defray thou debts. As to the
money advanced to her, she bad in 14 mouth, upwards of
00,0001. ilrr allowance fur law tepee**. was unlimited,
