THE NATII

Lord PALAU:IO4OIS suggested to Mr. T. to name some parti-
elder year.
Mr. Tutus Ex said, that then lie must, lie supposed, make a
motion for that, -Agreed to.
Mr. Posisitx ex inquired respecting the monument said to be
intended for the late Cardinal York.
Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that such a monument was to be
erected. The deceit the last of a royal race, which jiisth
f..rreitell the throne of this realm, had not thereby rorteittil
11w claims of humanity, and had been fur some years the ob-
ject of the bounty of tic- king, which had excited in the Car-
dinal's mind the deepest gratitude. He hod lift by his trill
some interesting papers, together a ith the collar of the garter,
to be sent to the Prince Regent, as a testintionv of his gratitude
for the generosity hr had experienced at hi• *Majesty's hands.
The Cardinal's executors expressed a a isli for the Vrince
ke-
telll's assistance towards the rem et' of the intended monu-
ment ; and his Royal Highness, with that generosity and
benr-
solenee which so highly reconnnewl him, ordert d the assistance
to be afforded.

31r. Poisson nv approved of the Kings bounty; but the
ers talon of a miiiiiimetit to the noose of Stuart was a different
thug. It seemed, that it was the executors Nho proposed the
monument. not at our desire or sole espetirse.
Air. Ti Kiln EY said, the King's allowance to the Cardinal was
from the privy purse.

TREATY' OF PEACE.

'rhe Order of the Day was then read fur resuming the ad-
journed debate on the Address to the Prince Itcge•nt.
Mr. LAW 01).1111(41 to thy Treaty, particularly on the grounds
that its provisions left the kieigdom of the Netlu•rlands open to
the future attacks of France, and placed her in a situation in
shish she would not be likely to obtain assistance or support
front any great Power. lie also c plainer' that the interests
of this country had been neglected in the provisions of the
Treaty. We were told we had received indemnity ; but be
would ask what indemnities had we received in retitle' for g.i
yCkll'S of bloodshed, and an expenditure of lintido ells of mil-
lions. A paltry contrilattion, of• a Well the share assigned to
this country did not amount to a 3 per cent. tax upon income
for a year. To I • it appeared that in eery article of the
Tieaty the influence of Russia had been exerted, if not openly,
in a secret and most effectual OMURA'. It hail been Said that
Llntis XVIII. would lint have consented to any system of ter-
ritorial cession. What ! would Ilia Loris whom had
placed Oil the Throne of Nailer, who only reigned by our
sufferance, consent to du that which Louis .IV. had offered to
do ; would he have refused it to what had been called Europe
in arms at the gates of Paris lie could mit help suspecting
there were other reasons beeides cow-lilting the feelings of
Louis X VIII. lie• believed the negociators at Paris considered
