Two appeals liad.te eit,n.iede to ihe House—the one
to their feelings, the etheritece their judgment.--
'I hey had arise ered 'the firseby expressing in words,
as Soong es the British language would atfied, their
eietestetioit and abhorrence of the crime that had
been committed, and their sense of the public and
priyate virtues of. the individual en whom it bad
been Committed.. When they come to the provi-
eion that was to be made fur te.e family of that in-
dividual, their judgment teas necessarily to be cone
suited. Feir his part, he thought it would be wise
to pOstpone the consideratiee of .the subject fur a
weeke when the. Houee' would he Inure cod upon
it. The necessity had .been urg d of making a
liendeothe provision for Mrs. Peicevel, and all the
; there were realty d4fereeces of opinion as
to what was a handsome. provision. -Under all the
circutnstanCes of the case, he did not see the net es-
sity. All that he tlizmght the House bound to do,
on the spur of the occasion, was, to vote something,
to shew their sense of abhorrence of the late horrid
transaaion, without entering into any nice disquisi-
tion as to what tnight be the cost of toe edecation of
Mr. Perceval's children. Fur tile reason, hoe ever,
which he bed assigned at the commencement of lets
speech, he should refrain from voting on the present
question. The Hon. Member then made his bow,
and retired from the House.
Mr. 'V. FITZGERALD concurred if) , the opinion
of the Hon. Gentleman who lied ,jest spoken, that
the .question was an appeal to the ju d nent, as well
as to the feelings of the, House. But, in his opinion,
that judgment and those feelings ought to be coin--
cidene—His lac-dented Friend had been iii office for
fiveyeatee without having made any provision for
his family. On the contrary, he had lete them
poorer than they were when he entered upon his
career of public duty. No one could deny that had
his Right Hon. Friend continued, in the lucrative
profession from which he was withdrawn by his
sense of public duty alone, he might. have attained
to the highest judicial offices ; and, with those great
talents, and with that kind disposition and, nature
which he possessed, must have acquired affluence.—
Del the House recollect the disietetesteentees ex-
hibited by his Right Hon. Freed ?--Did they re-
,' celle& that when a valuable office .(a Tellership of
Exchequer) 'became vacant, after his Right Hon.
Friend had relinqui•la d that ptatssion ti) which it
was impossible that he could return, he might have
advised his sovereign to give • it to his son ? And
would 'any man say that such'advice would not have
been justified ? If Mr. Perceval had followed the
example of Lord Sidmotath, his family would not
have been left in so destittre a state. But Mr.
Pciceval was a singular instance of a Man whese fa-
mily had been ruined by his self-devotion to the
public seryice. Of the nature of his services, he
(Mr. F.) would not speak ; Otherwise he was as
much disposed to indulge in .the warmest eulogiuna
on them as any man could be. But they were. not
the questions. The question was simply this-e-whe7
ther the family of a public funainnary should be al-
lowed by the. State to be ruined because that public
functionary had ably at 4 zealously and disinter-
estedly discharged his duty ? Conceiving that
this would be the height of national injustice, he
should certainly vote for an extension of the pro-,
posed grant. The advantage of unanimity u..aht
as much aware of as any man could be. But on the
principle of the vote tile House had already unanie
mously eroneupced their sentiments. The, only
difference of opinion was with respe& to . the
amount of that vote. On that question, every man
was surely at liberty to decide which way he pleas-
ed; for otherwise, the agreement of certain parties
out of the ,House, would bind that which by the
division of last night, was shewn to be a majority
in the House beyond all. comparison.--He ridiculed
the idea of the grant as originally proposed, being
considered as an at of liberality and munificence on
the part of the Empire of Great Britain, to the
family of the first Minister of the Crown, foul!),
murdered in the seivice of the State. Let the
House picture to themsel'es the young anti in-
teresting individual, son of the man who, hen liv-
ing, was beloved by all ; let them picture him as
heir to his name; let them picture him bearing the
appellation of Spencer Perceval—let them piaure
him full of ability and enthusiasm, and anxious to
follow his father's profession and his father's foot-
steps—and let them consider to what a state of in-
capacity for doing so he had been reduced by that
atrocious at which at once deprived him of Areal-
teetionete parent, and' his country of a patriotic Mi-
nister. Well had it been said by an Hon. Member
of that House, that no one who bore the name of
Perceval ought to be allowed to lament his -fate in
poirerty.. It was a srutiment in which he cordially
concurred, and, he had no•cloubt that the House
would shew by their decision, that they were ani-
mated by similar sentiments.
MT:TIERNEY, while he professed that no one en-
tertained a stronger feeling on ehe•case than him-
self, thought the,question ought to be decided by
the sobLr judgment of the House,. Hewes anxious
therefore, that their decision might bs suspended'
for a week, in the hope, that during That time the
Conversation which he might have w th didereet in-
dis ideals on thesubjeel, a ould induce him to change
his present opinion. He begged the Huse to Cote
seder the singularity (if not the irregularityjeif vot-
ing a large sum of money in'the absence of the
First Lord of the Treasury and Chancellor of the
Exchequer. He would move as_ an amendment,
that the further consideration of the resolution be
postponed until this day week ; taking it for grant-
ed, that after the recess Parhatneet would meet
under different circumstances from those in te Mich
they were at pre,sent.
Sir G. WAR RENDER observed, that the arguments
urged by the Hon. Gentleman who had just spoken,
would have been as applicable to the two first resee
lotions as they were to the last. He repeated the
statements of other 'Hon. Gentlemen with respect
.to the disinterestedness of Mr. Perceval, in abstain-
ing from availing hitnself of the opportunity which
his high situation must necessarily have affcrded him
of enriching his family: His death was solely at-
tributable to the conscientious discharge of his duty.
This made it peculiatly incumbent on the country
to take-care of his family, and particularly of his
eldest son, his representative ; would the House, by
their niggardliness prevent hirer, at some future pe-
riod, trout entering Parliament, and following the

• MRS. PERCEVAIrS FANDLY.
Lord CPeriTLEREAGH moved the Molter considera-
tion of the resolutions of the Committee, for pro-
• viding for the family of the .late Mr. Perceval,
lair. 0. Aimms, wished to'reake a few observa-
tions upon the subjea. The Hon. GentlemaaTstat-
. ed, that he had riot the honour of an intimate ac-
cuaintance• with the late lamented. Right Honour-
able Gentleman, whose family were-the objeCts of
the present motion—the public and private virtues
of that d-stinguished man had been so ably pour-
trayed by Gentlemen more capable then dittnself,
that he corild-not add any language which he could
use to the testimony so justly bestowed. But it
was _impossible to recollect the tragedy of Monday
without emotions which could not easily stibsi:le—
a tragedy which had awfully stretched away from
the scene of life, a man so eminently qualified for
his public station, and borne him to the silent grave.
With respect to the grant,
,and to that he principally
rose ; he thought the House -would not act up to the
professions which they so unanimously evinced on
Tuesday, if they did not make an ample and liberal
provision for the eldest son of Mr. Perceval. He
lamented that the Noble Lord, when he originally
brought the provision under the consideration of the
_House, had tiot proPesed to double the grant.: If
he bad proposed MOW.- insteatiof 50,0001.- he
was sure i he House would haie acceded: io the pro-
position unanimou-ly. Sure he. was that the Right
Hon. Gent. (Mr. Ponsonby) wino seconded the
-motion, would have adyok-aled the larger grant.
Lord CASTLEItEAGH reminded the Hon. Gentle-
man, that his observations applied to the third
eeselut ion, and the t wen first had not been disposed of.
The first and second resolutions were then read,
and,agreed to nem. con.
• On the third resolution being. read, •
Mr.' Huseetssoer, adverting to the vote which he
bad given on the preceding-night, observed, that he
cot' &agaiest the previous question ; -as it was ne-
cessary to come to a vvote, the unanimity originally
proposed having been departed-from. With respect
to the reselution for providing for the eldest son of
the late Right Hon. Gentleman, after the decease
of his mother, that might be very well. Bat did
.the House see the situation in -which a grant of that
-kind might place the young man ?-41e might. or
might not stand in need of it. at that time. Was
the House aware that it was likely he Might suc-
ceed not only to the name but to the splendid ta-
lents and abilities of his lamented Father; that he
was a young man of the most promising• abilities,
and that it was intended be should prosecute his
studies at. one of the Universities to fit him for
eessing through life with hoverer and advaneage to
himself, w heater in • the profession of his father;
or whatever other situation, was not now the -dues-
lion ?. The House must be convinced of the great
expence aiiending a liberal education, and the im-
possibility of maintaining that rank and station at
- College upon a bare pitance of 2001. per annum.
The only resource, theiefote, he could have (un-
less the House took his situation into consideration),
was to depend upon his Mother, and the deficiency
of his maintenance must be supplied out of the in,
-collie of Mrs. Perceval, of from the-provision 'made
for the other children. Under these circumstanceshe thought' the House ought_ to make the grant
more elf dual, considering the age of the young
map, and give him something immediately. Sup
pose 10001. a-year from this tune, or from the me-
. went of' his coming -of age.
Sir A.TIGOTT made some observations as to the
wording of the resole:ion, in order that the House
might not decide in the dark. The Resolution pro-
posed to provide for " thenhale descendant of Mr.
Perceval, being the-heir at law." Now the son of
a daughter of Mr. P. might be the heir at law ; he
thought, therefore, that it should be specifically
stated -" the eldest sun of the late Mr. Perceval,"
- to avoid errer. e
. General MATTHEW was of opinion the grant was
not of surfictent magnitude, not what a, great coun-
try like England, ought to give. It the Hoeour-
aule Gentleman was to move to grant 20001. a•year
for the eldest on of, such a man, he should tot
...think it too much. ,
• Mr. HIJSKIsSON intimated his-intentiene for the
reasons before stated, .of proposing- to vote 1,0001.
a-yehr, without prejudice to the grant of 2,0001. to
Peicey4l.
Mr. J. W. We nn thought the arguments which
the Honourable Gentleman, Mr. Heskisson, had
used, might with equal propriety apply to Atte
other . sues. When he recollected
_this,- and fur-
th:e, that the sums originally proposed, had re-
ctived. the approbation of the friends of Mr. Per-
ceval's family, he was bound to support the original
'proposition.
• Mr.-, WALLIS declared that, in his opinion the
young. inail why was the-representative of. Mr. •per-
ceval, ought to have every adVantage which the
country could give him. Yesterday'evehing he had
voted tur the Amendment of the Noble Lord, be.-
Geese he was desirous of preserving unanimity ;
. bus as the 'House had decided - by a large majority,
..against that Amendatent, he felt himself at liberty
, to give way to his feelings fur the memory of his
much-lamented Friend, and in testimony of the
high regard in which he held his virtue and talents,
be was ready to vote for any additional -grant that
might be proposed. -
Mr.W. SMITH came down, determined not-to
oppose tithe's° large e majority of the House had
declaied to be their opinion. Ha wasenevertheless
convinced of the danger of opening thetdoordo any
extended vote. He regretted that the personal cha-
reeler of Mr. Perceval's son had been introduced in-

example of his good father ? He had hardly bees
acquainted with Mr. Perceval. On many owns:ions
he had, voted against him. klut he was persuaded,
that he only spoke the sentiments of the country
when he 'declared his opinion, that Mr. Pereval's
eldest son ought to be rendered independeni. •
•Mr. TIER.Ney, in explaliatiun, replied to the first
sentence of the Honourable B'aronet's speech, by

saying,-that he would have objected, under the cir-
cuulstances.. of the Elouse, to the original propo-
sitions, it he could have found any one to agree,

wish him, bUt he could not. - . •
Mr. WiIITBREAIi sunpoited the motion for post.
ponemeot, in the hope that the House might come
to the consideration of the question with more

coolness ; but certainly not in the eXpectaiion that
he should alter his opinion upon it. • He denied that
file understanding which [tad been come to, out. of
the House. upon the subject, had e%er been consi-
dered as binding upon the House itself. He trust-
ed he should led acquitted, et en by Mie Perceval's
warmest political • friends,; trout any wish •to bear
hard upon that Right Honourable Gentleman's me-
mory. It was with great pain he took a part ire the
present discussion. He lamented, in common with
every mart, thd deteStable deede which bad deprived
them of that Right Hon. Gentleman. He cor-
dially concurred in the two resolutions.ot the Com-
mittee, to which the House had already agreed.
Bin if the House went further, he could :riot ,hut
consider it as a reward-to Mr. Perceval's family for
his public services, -and he should be a traitor to
his own principles and to .his country, if he ab 7
stained from protesting against any proceeding
which could be construed into Parliamentary ape
probation of those services., Let it be :Considered,
whit was Mr. -Perceval's career--and what was
the situation in which his family, by the late
votes of • the House, had bcee placed. His ca 7
reer was his own choice: He was bred to the Bare
he site; wards obtained a seat in Pat liament ;:he t hen
quitted the Bar, trom choice--not baring called upon
in the first instance, to-abandon his profession. It
had been said by some, that Mr.. Perceval had given
up a lucrative prthtce; his (Mr. W.'s) inform aims
on that subject was very different. It had been said,
that Mr. Perceval reluctantly reliuquished that prac-
tice for the service of his country. -The faaa was,
that several eminent office's in the law had been of-
fered to Mr. Perceval, Which he declined, choosing
rather to continue in polit:c 31 life. He (Mr.\V.) coo-
demned the manner in which the talents of Mr. Per-
ceval's sort .had been spoken of in tint *House,- cone
ceiving it likely to be in ever;; way injuriousto trim.'What was the situation of Mr. Peteeval's 6rritly
In the first place, Mrs. Perceval had a provision in-
dependent of Parliament, which was at least 20001.
a year : he had thought it much mere. Parliament
had voted to her 20001. a year more.' -Parliament
had also voted 50,0001. to the children, with benefit
of swvivorship. Thus it appeared thaethe‘family
would posiess a-clear income of 6,5001 e; a "sum
surely sufficient for their maintenance and educa-
tion. -If-any Hon. Member knew a country -Gen-
tleman possessed of that income, and_withu family
as large as that left by Mr. PerCt'aval, would they
consider him unable to give his children an educa-
tion which would qualify them ,for any liberal pro-
fession ? Calmly and dispassionately, and with the
utmost sincerity, he protested against any further
grant. To-morrow the House were 'to be called
upon to vote a monument to Mr. Perceval. These
things grew upon the House, and he ,protested
against their increase.
Lord BINNING observed, that it was too late to
comphiti of unanimity having been disturbed. Tire
present proposition having been made to thdHouse,
would they consent to negative it > fie avaseurprised
that. any Gentleman could supposethat in voting thi;
additional grant, Parliament would be implying an
approbation, of Mr. Perceval's political condua." If
any strong commendation of Mr. Perceval's political
condo& had been inserted in the resolutionen might
have been liable to such an interpretatibn ; but there
was not a word in It to that effect. Mr. P's private
virtues had endeared him to all hearts. He had quit-
ted a lucrative situation to enter on the public ser-
vice. He had abandoned many n advantages of which
he might have availed himself. The House knew
that he diael poor,. and would they hesitate for a
moment in giving to his son the means of emulating
at some future period the cenduti of his excellent
and patriotic father ?
Mr. SUMNEtt ridiculed the inconsistency of an
Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Tterney), who affected to be
unable to vote for the'propOsed resolution on account
of the mere absence of the First Lord of the Trea-
sury and Chancellor of the Exchequer, but who; on
former occasions, (and particularly in thecase of
Mr. Palmer) had voted for the application of large
sums of the public money, in dnea opposition to
the expressed opinions of the First Lord of the Treae
and Chancellor 'of the Exchequer. He was anxious
to di% eei the question of all party feeling. He was
anxious that what Parliament might be disposed to
do, they would-do promptly. 'He was satisfied that
if they. -abstained from doing more than that, which
they had already done, they would not redeem the
pledge which they had given upon the subjeel in
their Address to the Begertt. Adverting to some
of the observations made' by an' Hon. and Learned
Gentleman opposite (Sir A. -Pigot), be taimiteed that
in drawing bp his resolution, sonic little inaectireCy
of expression.might have occurred. Nothing how-
ever had passed in the debate either on this or, on
the last night which- altered his opinion with respea
to the principle of that resolution. From the ex-
tent to which the resolution -vent he would riot. re-
Cede ; but he professed himself ireifediy ready-to
go further if the Hnu-e should think fit to concur in
the proposition 'of his Hon. Friend behind bin] (Mr.
Huskisson.)
Lord CeiTeveteeox declared, that lie should be
doing great injustice to the Hon. Gentleman oppo-
site (Mi.
,Whitbread) if he did not say, that thro'
the WhOle of the transaction he had evinced the most
cordial interes`t. On the subject. Bui•tbe. lionoura
ble Gentleman had, however, unintentionally:misre-
presented the manner in which ,his late Right Hon.
Friend left the profession of the -law. He left it on
the deliberate convii!tion -that, however unjustifiable
the secession might be, as consideed, in the first
instance, with respect to his duty to his family, it
was imperative on him to obey the maedatory re-
quest of his Sovereign—that Sovereign who never
