Jrlon would naturally .4cetii ti, Gerithirhen, that
the death of that Illustrious,Pei-si)nage had, been en-,
cott,Mered during,hostilities, a cause in which td;,
hest interests of this binary; and of Etitope were
invdlved. Whatever iMpressif;.9 the event and cir-
curbstaneel. of that death have preduCea, it
wila not orlihOt ground, but in consequence. of the
near relation wlitch his relict llore to his Majesty,
that tie present application seas Made: He was
confident, therefdre, that Do pbjedion would ,he

Csmsolida;cd Jund. an adequate establishment t'or.
the Duchesi of BrunsWick. who had sought'an
asyluth iti her brother's dominions. The only
question would be as ,to the quantum of that
provision. And when the Committee consider that
she had been ri Sovereign,' and was driven from her.
territories.to seek refuge in this cnontry, he was cer7
telti the Cothuiittee would ad with liberality, and
the difference of a few hundreds more or less would
not be-any object on soch an occasion. It was upon
this gidund his Majesty abstained troth recornmet,d-
ingany grant that might appear extravagant, whilst
hisMajesty'sMinilters, on the other hand, thotr..,ht
it their duty to avoid any niggardly limitation of the
proposed provision!
:Under that impression, he.,
should move a Resolution to enable his Majesty to
grant a surninot exeeeding 10,6001. per annum, out
of.the Consolidated Fgrid, as a Provision for - her ,
Royal Highness the Duchess of. Brunswick. . The
House was awaxe that an Establishment' to that
ainotuas hadalrea dy been, advanced out of the Civil.
List, since, since-her: arrival in this kingdom.; in
consequence of which he would have, on,another
occasion, to Move the restitution of the situ) .to ap-
plied from that branch of the revenue. He conclud-
ed be moving his Resolution, " Fur; the grant- of
10,6001. per annum," &c.
On the question being put, ,
Mr. WHITBREAD rose, not to obje& to the Reso-
Julien, for he concurred entirely in the sum: pro-
posed. That House, he was :sure, would, at all
timeS, be itsady to spew its attachment to his
jesty's Petion and Family. It was on that ground
alone, and not in consequence of any circumstance
that attended the tiliath -Of the Duke of Brunswick,
that he consented to this Resolution., So tar flout
considering Ow hostility in which that event had
taken place, as intolving _the hest interests of thiS
Country; lie looked upon the last Coalition as most
disastrous the cause of Etirope; and so far WO
Prussia front being in alliance with this Country at
that period, that we were at war with that Power.
Undoubtedly a Minister had been sent to neguaiate
an accommodation with Pru,ssi4,,but the Nuble Lord
who .bad been ,oent on that mission had returned
without having been able to reach even his desti-
nation. He had said thus iDLICIII beedtiSe be would
not ()Mit any opportunity of declaring
that the last Coahtion lila been ruinous to Europe.
As to the vote, he fitly approved of it,,thaugh he
should not be comm,itted. to tiny future proposition.
