no Tewer than four Lords of the Behiiarn-
ber, which induced the unconstitutional cunsi-
deration of an imperiwn in imperib. Upon the
whole, be must dissent from the measure in its
present shape; it was admitted another Bill
would be necessary to complete what was intend-
ed—then why not unite them ? At present their
deliberations were fettered on the proposed extent
of the Windsor Establishment, which formed so
important a feature in the whole arrangement ; it
was utterly unknown to their Loidshrps ; to ob-
viate such incongruity, he would move as an
amendment, that what followed in the first clause,
atter the words " full power and authority," be
omitted.

The Ball of LIVERPOOL, in answer to what fell
from the Noble Baron, again contended his objec-
tions proceeded from a mistaken view of the real
question before the Committee, and argued, that
the most regular and proper course, tinder the cir-
cumstances, was that now adopted. They all ex-
pre,sly agreed that hi< Royal Highness the Duke
of York should be the custos persona., and the No-
ble Lord must have reason to think, from the
.issnrances he had received, that A reduction in the
pre,ent establishment ei;as.intended. The case, as
it affected her late Majesty, was very different.—
She had been the Queen Consort of the reigning
Sovereign, and what was provided had !elation to
her Majesty in that character, as well as the
King. Under such circumstances, any saving
which could properly be made must liave beet in-
considerable. If the same establishment was now
called for, it n ()old be a 4roond of objection, but
all they were called upon was to say, that whate-
ver the establishment might be, it should be placed
tinder the contrutd of the illustrious Duke, as the
determined curios persona.. The objection of the
establishment constitut ii an imperium in impetio,
was pecnliar to that in question 5 the several in-
dependent establishments of other branches of the
Royal Family, particularly that of the Prince of
Wales, were fully as liable to such an objection.
After farther continuing this line of argument,
with equal ability ,pod success, the Noble Earl
said, lie must kiecidedly object to the proposed
amendment.

Lord HOLLAND and the Noble Minister spike
respectively in explanation.
The loestion was put, and the amendment
immediately negatived by their Lordships.
The Earl of LtYaaroot. observed, be had to
propose the filling up the vacancy in the Assistant
Council, caused by tke lamented demise of his
Noble and Learned Friend, Lord Ellenborough.
Without its implying the least shadow of disre•
spect to his Lordship's worthy successor as Chief
Justice, when the various important and exten-
sive judicial avocations of that Learned Verson
were duly considered, it was held preferable to
nominate some other person to be appointed.
fie would therefore move, " That John Jetferies,
Marquis Camden, be appointed One of his Royal
Highness's Council, in the room of John Lord
Ellenbormugh, deceased."
Lord HOLLAND Said, he hell it as a good omen
that one, who had !!:0 very nobly, spontaneously,
and eisinterestedly wrought so extensive a re_
form, in his own Establishment, as the Noble
Marquis, should he so appointed.—(A laugh.)
nomination was voted by their Lortiships
nem. di'.

The other blank, which referred to the number
of the quorum of tie Council, was (as could be
collected) filled Op by the words, " or any three
orinore of tlc.fm,"

The Bill being gone through, the Houle re-
sumed, and forthwith adjourned till to-morrow.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, JAN. 27.

GENERAL BURTON.

The SPEAKER acquainted the Horne, that on
the 15th inst. he had received a letter, signed
Robert Christie Burton, stating that the nriter
had been returned a Member for 13everley, on the
17111JuOe last, hut that,' being in tie Prison of
the Court of Comtuon Pleas (the Fleet), the
‘Varder of that prison had declared that he could
not release him until authorized by a warrant frOni
the Speaker of the House of CommonA ; and re-
questing that he (the peaker) would be pleased
to communicate the same to the House. In
answer, he (the Speaker) had written to General
Burton, and informed him that at the first conve-
nient opportunity he would communicate the sub-
stance of his letter to the. House.. lie had since
received a letter front the same Gentleman, dated
the 20th January, requesting that he would not
mention his former letter to the House, as cir-
cumstances. bird subsequently occurred which
would plohably enable him to take his seat on the
ensuing Monday ; but at a bite hour last night
another letter bad been•transmitted to hint from
General Billion, stating that he had been disap-
pointed expectations, referring to his letter
of. the 15th, and again requesting that he (the
Speaker). would state the Contents to the [louse.
Tire House would perhaps pardon him for calling
their attention to a similar occurrence which took
place in 1807, when an Honourable Member stated
that he was detained in similar confinement. An
order Wai tlien made to refer the complaint to the
Committee of Privileges, which sat next day, and
whose only object Was to establish the identity of
the individual. That having been proved, the
Committee made their Report, and he was ordered
to be discharged out of costody. Sortie Hon.
Member would perhaps move a similariproceeding
in the present instance.
Mr BATHURST accordingly moved, that Gene-
ral Burton's letter should be referred to the Com-
mittee of Privileges, to examine and report thereon
to the House.—Oldered. _ • _ _
