The CH ANcgt,Loß of the EXCHEaTJER said, thftt
it ,IRS for the Treasury to procure-a plan by cum-
peition between the architects, 1)::t he did'not
intend to pinpoce the in.ertion -ot,a clause to .that
effect in the Bill. Before Parliament met again,
it might be in the power of the Government to
select the plan and submit it to the House.
Mr. It.. Suil/41NER the Howe should see
the plan and estimate before the money was voted.
I),lr.BuTTEawottinl observed, that a.fair esti-
nrite founded On the size of the ploposed area,
bad been given in.'
Mr. BANKES thought . the proposed area *as
rOich hirgiti• than necessary.
Mr. H. SUMN eft stated, that no precise plan of
the proposed building had-ever been Llid before
the Select Committee, and that ,he was, there-
, fore, as well as' from other reasons, led to so-pect
that an Act-minable job was ill contemplation; he
alsh animadverted upon the :louse providing for the
construction of a sewer, which ought not to be
defrayed ouf of the public fund, unless so far as
° the new building was concerned, but, as usual
on other occasions, out of the funds of the parish.
Mr. LUSHINGTON and Alr. Alderman ATXINS
Tintlicated, the measure, in reply to the last
Speaker, protesting against the use of the wold
jolt, which was in this instance totally inappli-
cable..

Upon the proposition of the clause that
240,00/ should be voted for the erection of the
Dew building,
Mr EL SUMNER again opposed this vote, and
thought it would be quite enough in the first in-
iltance to vote 40,0001.
Mr. VANSITTART said, that although it was
thought proper at once to bring the whole amount
of the proposed granr before the House, it did not
follow thar the "W
hole would be at once expended.
The Committee divided, when the numbers were,

SUBSIDIARY TREATY WITH HOLLAND.
Lord CA'STLEREAGH, 11) a Committee of the
tvliole House, entered upon art explanation of the
Subsidiary Treaty concluded between this country
and the King of the united Netherlands. The
Noble Lord said, that in calling the attention of
the Conimittee tofthe engagements contracted by
his Majesty's Government, he should endeavour
to submit such an' explanation of them as, he
hoped, would prove satkfaetory ; and, in the first
idikce, he wished to remind- the House, that they
%ye-1-e of a description whi,.:ll arose wholly out of
the fact of this country coming into the possession
of the Dutch .Colonies by the events of war. At
the= same time, irlratever claims we. might justly
Lade with respect to those ColOnies as ((evoking
to us froM conquest, be felt quite confident that
not only the HouSe, but the whole country, ,en-
teitained the wish'that whengver.Holland should
rescue herself, or be rescued by any other combi.,
Daiion of circumstances-from the power_of France,
a ,nore favouratzle and lenient proceeding should
be'adopted towarils that country, in respect to her
captured Coloniei, than tnight be generally con-
sidered as consiste::t with sound policy with re-
gar'd to other nations.- It was those general views
of liberality which had actuated this country in
the transaction, and those views were no less.
compatible with OUT own particular interests than
with that viru:ws-pritirciple of conduct which We,
Lad uniforrn!,,, adopted. In reference, therefore,
to- that consideration of the question, he shOuld
have no hesitation in sayii%, that for his own
part, he, wotild ranch rather those colonies had
been at once restored to Holland, Chair that we
should have, kept them. without some 'liberal
conyensation to her ; and if such were also the
feeling and judgment of , the house ltpcm the
%abject, he apprehtimted they would do hint th'e
• ji,:ttee to admit that- the whole arrangement had
I,_^d concluded upon principles perfectly con-
sistent with the honour and the interests of
the country. In- looking to the charges that
ornse out of the Treaties upol the tab:•,e, they
would be found to consist of thre sorts :—first,
the charge incurred with respect to Sweden, in
lien-of the cession of Guadaloupe ; secondly, that.
Nviiich was connected with the fortifications erect-
ed ulong the frontiers -of -the Netherlands; and,
tiirdly, 'that which we had taken ilpon ourselves
part of the Russian loan raised in Holland.--.
The latter, however, was the only • one which
could be said to stand upon the footing of a direct
and positive charge to his country, as the other
;WO were of amiturcwhichconnected them with

the general policy of his Majesty Government,
