on the contrary, their feelings should, instead of
despondency, be those of exultation.
The Duke of NORFOLK, in the course of his
observations upon the subjed, expressed his dissatis-
fattion at the measure which had been adopted, as
falling short of the objed professedly in view. He
thought the Heir. Apparent should be enables, not
only to live in ease and affluence, but to display a .
splendor superior to that of the richest private
Nobleman. He seemed impressed with these con.
Siderations so fully, that were it constitutionally re-
gular to originate a Bill of that description in their
Lordships' house, he would he induced to propose
the rejtaion of the present Bill, in order to bring
in one on the principles he had alluded to.
The Earl of CARN ARYON spoke at some
length, and in some degree took a similar ground
with the Noble Duke. He strongly expressed his
disapprobation of the Bill, conceiving it not to be
one formed upon the genuine principles adverted to
in His Majesty's Message ; it was rather, he
• thought, in its operation and effeEl (with a reference
to the arrears of the Dutchy), a Billo for paying off,
a part of the Civil List Debts, Szc.' Pursuing this
line of argument for some time, he concluded with
expressing his dissent from.the Bill.
Lord PELHAM spoke in explanation at some
length. He contended, that the Measure in ques-
tion had nothing to do whatever with the Civil
List, The money alluded to by the Noble Earl
bad been wholly applied to State services ; for his
phrt, he highly approved of the course adopted ;
the Noble Secretary observed, that a direft intet-
ference on the part of Parliament in the concerns of
-the Royal Family was at best but an awkward
thing. He thought all proceedings of that kind
should always proceed from the latter quarter.
In concluding, he expressed his approbation of what
had been stated by a Noble Earl (Mom's).
The Earl of CAN Mt VON explained.
The Earl of MOIRA spoke also at some length in
explanation, and scouted the idea of any thing of the
natute of a compromise having taken place—.with as
little propriety, he observed, could the Bill be consi-
dered as in any mode paying off the Debts of the Civil'
• List, or of the Crown, as it had never been at 'any
time, or by any person considered, that the Revenues
of the Dutchy, during the interval in question, had
been applied to the private uses of the Sovereign,
or to the purposes of the Civil List, 'but that they
had been applied to public exigencies of State. Had
it been a question between His Royal Highness and
the Sovereign, Parliament, he observed, would have
never heard a word upon the subject ; that illustri-
ous Personage knew his duty too well, and had too
delicate a sense of his situation, to have troubled
Parliament with any matters respeding his indivi_
dual interests which could :died the quiet or repose
of that illustrious family of which he was so distin.
guished a branch. The Prince's conduct so far from
being regarded in the light of a compromise, or
wearing any appearance of it, should be, and truly,
, is regarded in the most dignified point of view,
and as A spontaneous aa of magnanimity on• the part
of the Prince, who never wished for the possession
of those arrears, with any other view than to enable'
him to pay off those demands, which he felt it in.
curnhent upon him, in duty and in honour, to dis.
etarge.
The Earl of SUFFOLK shortly expressed his
opinion,' that, considering ;he comparative value of
money at the periods of making the arrangements
for the Establishment of His Royal Highness, and
those of his Royal Grandfather, the Income of the
former should be double what it had been made,
The Bill was then read a second time, and cam-
rnitted for to.morrow. After which an Adjournment
took place.

INC Rev.., the eßev..lx7W/NKF /FED, and',). Wig.kr/nr, who have complained of an undUe Eledion
fur the County`of Middlesex,- should be ordered by

Member ; and .that the
objedions to the Sitting
Sitting
,mernbtr be ordered to send a List of the
Persons who polled for. him, on or before the 7th
of April::
ROBERT BUXTON said, he thought ,the
time mentioned by the Hon'. Gentleman, was too
short,for the preparation of the List now called for,
as the Committee would not sit till the 2tst of
May ; he therefore did not think, there was time
enough to prepare the List.
Mr. SHERIDAN said, he never heard such a
strange objedion as the Hon. Gentleman had just
rn,dc; he did not see much difference as. to the
length Of time, between the 7th of April-and the
in,t of May. It- was now seven months since the
