ROYAL MARRIAGES.

TUT. N krInNAT. przisTEn.

by [he Sub-itor (Sentra% Mr. Ity and Sir J. Isiah:tut, and
fatally throun out.
'ROYAL MARRIAGES%
- _

Lnrul CASTLEREAGII rose to move, toConimittee, the ad-
ditional allou MU es to the Royal Dukes. His Lordship scent
over the same grounds as have bet•u already touched upon.
contending that the Doke. of Clarenee.oeght to be placed ill
the •ante situation as the Doke of Yu:lk, when the hitt r oc-
cupied the same rank iu the sticcession. The Royal Brothers
ought to be placed in a tank ;clove that of the iiing's Nephew.
In consequence of the feeling that haul hem expressed, Minis-
ters haul exerted theino•lve-. to reduce the scale to the very
mininunt and had ntodilied their original intentions to a ottani
of 10,0001. to the Dole of Clarence, 4'1(160001. to his Royal
Brothr ce.

Ou moving, the Ist resolution relative to the Dnke of Cla-
rence, Mr. Barclay opposed it, coue•iviug that the Royal
Duke had no gi,elit to pre-L.1161)(1:er in this respect.
Mr.PROTHEROL followed on the same side, congratulating
the House on the effect of the oppeArion.
Mr. GURNEY ascribed the Itiopiication to the effect of the
Marriage AGI.

Mr. H. Sc VI %ER opposed the vote, but had no objection to
place the litoy al 1):Ike on Au equal fuuting with the other
Princes, and moved an Aniendiuknt accordingly.
Mr. Corm oppDscd,atid Sir W. Cperzs.supportctl, the pro.
position. . . .

Et.t.tsoN bad alwayt supported'Alinisters, bn: could not
do so on the preset:lt occasion.

Sir T. ACKLAND COON not support the extra grant to the
Duke ofClarence, which was quite uncalled for.
Lord LAsCELLES Should vote far the gt ants its now re limed.
Mr. Fonsies disaperoveti of the distinction made on
.the
grants.
Lord Co:army thought otherwise.

Mitch conversation then ensued on points of order, &c.—
afler w hieh Mr. C inning entreated the House to consent 'o
the propo.ition, considerio; that the Royal Duke agreed to
marry purely **rum public urnives.
Several Men:hers, inctud.ng Mr.. Tierney, thought the sum
might be taken frutu the Windsor Eatablishmeot.
Lord CAsTLERGAGII denied this.
Mr. LA mirruN wished to vote against any addittional grant
whatever.

Mr. C. AV% NNE supported Mr. Stunner's Amendment.

The House then eiCeidecl— For the Amendment of 60001. a
year 193—Against it 181—Majoeity against Minister& U.—Ad-
journed.

Petitions were presented agait:st the Salt Dotka, against
the Pour Laws liiil and in favour or the CJlton Factory Bill.

Lord CASTLEREAGU moved for the Committee, and took
the opportunity of stating that tint Duke of Clarence has
relinquished the idea of marrying, in.-consequence of the in-
stitii,:ieney of the grant to support the ell:mimes of -411, mar-
ried state. '1 he House then went into a Committee.

Lord CASTLEREAGH then moved an addition of 60001. per
annum to the Duke of Cmbridge.
Mr. BROUGHAM opposed the grant, on the ground that there
was no necessity for it in the present hutance, the Royal
Doke being in possession of great resources from his employ.
ments. lie disapproved of creating differences between the
Brothers, at the same time he saw no reason for ♦oting any
sum at all. In other families, it was usual for the relatives to
contribute,andlie did not see why that should not be the case
in the present instance.—lt was notorious that the heads of
the Royal Honse possessed very large incomes.
Lerd CASTLEREAGH could nut but accuse the Honourable.
Gentleman of invidious distinctions, notwithstanding
his disavowal. For his part, he should not be discouraged
by any thing that had passed, from:dein what he conceived
to be his linty. •
Mr. DROUG SILAS said, no man in -a coal temper would. have
so misinterpreted his speefli.
Mr. F. DOUGLAS secretly censured the conduct of Minis-
ters iu pressing these new burdens upon the country.
Mr. Curtwgn said those burdens were too great at present
to warrant the grant. . _ .

•-
Mr. WILBERFJNCE thought the grant moderate and justi-
fiable, though he deprecated all unnecessary splendour.
Mr. BRAND said they ought to know the incomes of the
Royal Duke, and unless the sum was ;moved to be absolutely
necessary lie should vote against it.
Mr. Titan Ev took the same s iew of the question, and con-
tended that the Duke's situation in Hanover was amply suf-
ficient to cover hi. expences.
The Citasicr.irmit of the EXCHEQUER denied that the
House had any right to take that into consideration.
Mr. P. Mwrstui.si supposed this Motion was brought for-
ward to pave the way for another, which had been previously
agitated.
After some observations from Mr. Pliink,:tt, and Mr. Pro-
theroe against the giant, a division took place—Fur the grant
177—Against it tls—Majority 92.
