he alluded,- had arrived, and the Hon. -Member' himself had
been: left to select the papers which he thought it would be best
to present to the House first. •
Mr. ABERCROMBY admitted that he had, through the
kindness of the 'Right Hon. Gentleman, had access to the pa-
pers; all that he was anxious about was, that the papers should
be presented before the SesSion closed
THE LATE QUEEN'S DEBTS.
On the third reading of the Appropriation Biltheing moved,
DreLLISHING-TON said that from the terms of the grant
for the payment of some of the debts of her late Majesty much
inconvenience would arise A portion of the British 'creditors,
who were as well entitled to consideration as those whoewereao
be'preferred, would be altogether excluded from the benefit of
the grant: Inconvenience, he feared, would be also felt by the.
servants of her household, the arrears of whose wages th eaerant
would not he sufficient to meet. He conceived that the crearters
of her Majesty, if not on terms of strict right, certainly on prinei-
ples'Of equity, were entitled fo payinent at the-lends of advern.`
merit. Oa the arrival of her Majesty in this country, nothing
had been done to meet her wants. She was left without a rest-.
dente-_without equipage-=without plate or furniture. Her
Majesty Being much pressedrfavaney, ccammanded him,. in
the absence, of her Attorney atuf-Solicitor-Gemeral from town,
to apply to the Noble Lord at the head of the Govern-
mint' tar assistance. Ou the i.)3d of 'July, 'lB2O, he made that
application -by letter. • On the 24th •the• Noble I,4ml:sent an
answer. He stated, that if her Majesty had madeatti earlier
application for a residence, for carriages, and a service of.
plate, he had no doubt' htit that his Majesty- would have
granted them. That he (Lord Liverpool).was ready to enter-
intoan arrangement for. procuring a suitable residence foreher•
.Majesty ; and that a service of plate would Jae sent, on it being
stated where it was to be sent, and to whoie care it:was to be
intrusted.. That her Majesty might. also select two carriages of
the description she should most prefer; but that with those ad-
vantages, the King's Governnient felt that-the satin of 35,0001.
a year would be amply sufficient to meether ordinary. expences.
—:Her Majesty, acting under this letter, purchased i,ambridge
House, for a sum of 16,0001.; she purchased furniturea car-
riages, and various other articles, which were indispensibly ne-
cessary, even for the maintenance of the decent splendour of her
rank; but not a shilling so expended was allowed to her Majes-
ty—they were all deducted out of her allowance of 35,0001. apd
out of_hel- subsequent allowance of 50.0001., though under the
expreas words of the letter of the Noble Lord, her Majesty had
reason to conclude that a residence, furniture, and equipage,
would be furnished to her on the part of Government. He was
aware that what he complained- of was done by a legislative
, measure; but it was, with respect to the Queen, A harsh and
severe measure, and necessarily reduced her Majesty to a state of
embarrassment. Having those large adVances to meet, it was
impossible that she could have kept out tef debt. On her la-
mented and sudden demise, her assets were found .to fall short
of her debts. It was impossible it could have been otherwise
--it was not her' fault-Lthere was, upon her pert, no wanton
extravagance—no desire to run in debt. On the death of her
Majesty, he felt it necessary to lay before Government a full
statement of her affairs ; 'of the amount of her assets on the one
~hand, and of her debts on the other. Since that statement, for
the claims were made, there were some claims which were not
well-founded; and some demands which were liable to, reduction.
=The amount of British :cleans was 31,0001., of foreign claims ,
,considerable part of which was. due to a house in
ItOrnet her assets =mutated to. 16,5001.—Making', with the ads

If the creditors of hei Majesty sere equally dealt with, there
Would remain due to. themabout 7s. in' die pound ; but under
the terms of the grant some would-be paid in full, whilst others,
whose claims Wtre. as -well.foutuled, would be left without any
eonsideration whatever. 'With respect to the foreign property,
.inost ofit had been taken away-'-Ott the death of her Majesty, a
messenger was dispatched to Italy to look after 'the property,.'
• and, if possible,. to save it from-the rapacity of the.people of that
'country, but, be was sorry to say, without effect. The Mare
quis of Altaldi abandoned the trusts of her will : and-though
the foreign property amounted to 30,0001., and though he,
hoped that some portion of it would still be reidiaed, vet the foe
reign creditors were-without payment.' He'svould, indeed, let
them look to themselves, but, unfortunately for him, he was
liable to foreign claims, and they had the same ineans to com-
pel hirn to pay as English creditors had-Lit was his intention
to take those steps which the law of Italy allowed, in order to
realize as much of the foreign property as possible. There was
no blame, no charge of extravagance could be fairly made
against the memory of the Queen—every. person:Who had the
opportunity of seeing the manlier in which she conducted her
family arrangements would bearaestianony to the order, regua
laxity, and economy practised by her Majesty. In considering
the case -of her honest creditors, the House would bear in
mind, ..that she was- obliged to purchase suit of her allowance
for one year and a half a house, eqUipage, and all those he--
ceSsary things which the dignity of her station required; and
,/which, as Queen of England, she had a right to claiinfon
the bands of Government., They would also bear in mind,
. that In 1814, her Majesty, with, that. disinterested- feeling,
which marked her character through life, relinquished a sum
of 15,0001. a year out of .50,0001., and that saving of.-15,0001.
a year continued for six years. After that sacrifice—after all
that' had passexi, would it be Itoriourable on the. part of this
country, liberal:or equitable upon the part. of Government,
grateful to the people,• by: whom she was beloved,. to-leave,
her .honest ''creditors •ta 'suffer, when one. year's amount of •
that saving? which she had generously made to the public,
would satisfy, their claims ? Would it not rather be a disgrace
Olathe ehataeter, of Great Britain, that the Qneen.,of England
haddied in debt, and that her debts were left unsatisfied ?
If she had acted extravagantly—if she Lad contracted debts
Unnecessarily—after she bad been Cautioned not to do so, it"
might he argded that, her creditors having warning,- ought tO
be left to suffer but no charge of that nature could with juss
tee be brought egainSt the memory of the Queen-Lathe claims.
•nf. her 'erealitors were fair claiMs; the debts o,f,,lier Majesty were,ineurrred 'for necessary articles,. which- her means were found
incompetent to procure. 'lle was, willing to avoid every topic
that could in the remotest degree revive 'the case .of 'her
jesty—that sad; that melancholy case, to which he never could
advert without painful feelings. She is gone (said lies, and is
no more—all feelings of hestility should Subside, mien in • the
breasts of those who- had most 'violently npposed her. All
good men would wish to see buried in oblivion - the trausece
tions of the past—she was suddenly snatched away, from the
World. It would be merely agree Ale to the principles of coot-'
mon justice, and in unison with the feelings of an honourable,
honest, and sympathising nation,
,to settle her debts in 4 just
and satisfactory manner.
Mr. LUSHING'I'ON said, he regretted that hislionourable%
Relative was not present during the disetuesion which hatlTtaken7
place on this subject a fete evenings since in theCormnittee. The.
Course which had been adopted, the limitation as to a certain
portion of her late Majesty, was deemed, under all the ciretame•
stances of the case;, as the meet adyiaaO)e. If foreign creditors.
were let in, they would absorb the whole of the provision. Ire
had that morning read over ell the papers respecting the claims-
of her Majesty. He read them's with attention, and With.tue ut-
most impartiality, and it was his decided and sincere opinion,-
that the Government had acted, witb.respeento pecuniary, mats.'
ters, with the utmost liberality. His Noble friend had subs
milted to Parliament a larger grant than what she had claimed,
and the deductions that had been made were Mee made Merely
out of the 35,000!. but also out of the more 'enlarged 'andliberal
grant of 50,0001. a-year, which Parliament afterwards made.—
•The manner in which the foreign property wits treated, shewed-
theavisdom and the necessity of preferring British creditors.—
The class of- creditors that were preferredwere objectis of the ,
first care.; some of them were reduced to distress. in conse-
quence of not having their demands paid off The grant was
•volantary oneeand those classes 9f persons who had tear) in the-
,service of liareMajcsay—tradesnien who had done 7 work—nes
.cessitous andenkarrassed people, were, hi his opinioe, those
who ought to have Veen preferred:
Dr. LUSHLNO TON explained. The.. 35,0001. per annum'
which had been granted to her Majesty was merely intended as"
a provision while the pioceedings were pending in. PaillaViente
This was manifest from the letter written by the •Errefof
pool on the 24theof July, 1020. All her 'Majesty's 'servanta
conceived that Parlidoent would make a new ' and a neore
liltcial provisiarefor her. 'Majesty, 'when site became- Queen of
Isiglitrid. • 7 a
Mr. HUME contended, from letters written by Lord Liver-
pool in Jiiise, 1821, that it waS always the intention toeonsider
the 35,000/. a year which was continued to the Queens' on her
arrival in this country, as merely. temporary. proadaion, and ;
that consequently the debts which had been.contractedby, her
should now be presided for. As there were two precedents for
the payment of such claims, heeould not consider die proceed.:
ings en the present case any proaf of liberality. Ile thought no.
distinction should lie made betwaem British' and foreign credi-
tors, though liedief Mot PrapOse- arty tiether grant -before..her

' not male--. any invidious allusion to the treat] ment of other
branches of the Royal Family, but he thought some assurance
should be, given that the • matter would be fairly considered, if
not a pledge that the debts should be discharged. ' ' •
- The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER acknowledg-'
ed the candour and fairness of Dr. Lushingten in all the tran-
sactions arising out of her Majesty's demise. He was readYalso
to admit that the advance of 7,900/.; Was always intended to be
over and above the 35,0001: ayear. But when a- specific sum
was granted to pay for carriages, it was yet to be explained how
her Majesty's coachmaker's bill was not raid. - •
' Dr. Li •SIIINGTON said across the table, that all the
morrey.advanced for carriages had been applied by: her Majesty
th that purpose. The carriages then ordered were paid for.
The CILANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said-that was
so far satisfaelory. Rut - surely it could not be forgotten that
the arrears of allowance had been granted to her Majesty from
January 1820, so that in-April. IBM she had 30,000 i: to receive
in one sum, and altogether from her arrival in this country she
had had a surf of 87,000/. which he should have thongin amply
suffieient for her expellees in the private way her Majesty lived.
The law expellees. it was to be remehehered, :had Item entirely
*.frayed-on•a-mostitlttlitistreel. scale, aria. to those -expeoces et
yeas that-the term " unlimited" had been a\pplied. In the pre,
sent suite of toe Bill - itwas' -impossible there could he any in-
crease'of the vote, but before the next Session be begged Gen-
demo: to reflect on the intecedeat which they Might set in pay-
ing the debts of any branch of the Royal Family after a liberal
allowance had been made.
Mr. C. SMITH though the Queen's ' just debts should be
paid., but was surprised there should be any.
Mr. W. SMITH took decesionof the liberty allowed in the
question of the Appropriation Bill, to make some remarks on
the expences of the Alieii Office, in width a reduction had been
proinised, but as far as he saw by the returns trope had been
made. Ile urged the necessity of keeping a strict look oat on
the beads - of the different officgs, as the Comptroller of the
Lottery Office some time ago returned the expellee of that office
at'lfi,oBl. and declared his opinion that-no 'reduction could be
Made.. The Stationary Office was returned at 17440/.. with
the same opinion
_respecting reduction. The Ministers had,
Adeed, since found that this expenditure was Shameful, but
theSe 'opinions on the part of the heads of oflices Shewed the
necessity of wattenfulhess. He also observed on die disgraceful
fact that 178,000/. a year was divided between the Members of
the House. He observed.,- as to the Irish Tithe' Leasing -Bill,
that ,having been, by accident, preVented fntro ;expressing' his
dissent from it, he felt it his duty to say, that_ he thought it
likely
.to be a source of fearre expenditure to the country from
the claims for indemnity which would bepreferred, When those..
duties, which by law ' the Members of the Church -of Ireland
should perform, were imposed on them. •-- 1
After a few words from Mr. BENNET, the Bill was read a
third time and passed.

On the motion of the CitateeEme-cot of the -EXCHEQUER,
that the H.Oll$C adjourn, at its thing, to Monday;
Mr.. BENNET rose to take that Opportunity of making a
few observations on the proceedings of . the past Session of
Parlitiment." He was anxious to do this, because lie thought
it the. Dilly Session productive of • any ' advantage to - the
country, that had been . seen for a long time. That -noose
bad greatly departed from its former course. It had listened
with more attention and effect to the petitions of the people. In
the present Session the taxes hadl ,been lowered to the amount
of 3,000,000/..; but he, for one, was of opinion that very cone
siderable reductions must yet be effected. If that was true
