cisely the same slim disposable new, es there wet
when the arrangement of 1816 was first formed;
but with this essential difference in regard to its
exchangeable value—that since the year 1816, a
diminution (calculated to amount, in some
stances. to 25 per cent.) has taken place in the
prices of many articles of primary necessity, giving
to the Civil List a proportionate augmentation in
actual value. The causes of this change it is here
unnecessary to explore, but the effect is notorious.
It liss operated beneficially on the Civil List, while
it has paralysed the powers of those from whose
industry the revenue of the State is principally de-
rived. The Sovereign, in his individual capacity,
has enjoyed an advantage from the very circum-
stances that have heaped thousand, of his
subjects. Vie du .not speak this invidiously, but
as • 'resins why the House of Commons should
have ascertained the necessity of so large a Civil
List, before • mistaken sense of respect to the Mo-
narch had induced that assembly to grant it with•
out inquiry.
The public are not to suppose that the Civil List
comprises all the funds that, are now placed at the
disponil of the Crown. His present M.a.lBsTst was
graciously pleased, in ineitatioin of his late excellent
father, to give up the hereditary revenues to the dis-
posal of Parliament, obtaining of course a sufficient
compensation, which is comprised in the Civil List;
but this surrender does sent extend, we believe, to
the hereditary revenues of Ireland, which must be
coosiderable. The Crown also still retains all the
casual revenues, as the drnits of the Crown and
Admiralty, the 4f, per cent. West India duties,
the revenue of Gibraltar, escheats and certain re-
venues derived from Scotland. All there incidents
produced during the reign of the late KING no less
a sum than 12,705,4611. to which we base already
on former occasions alluded. The House of Corn.
