Govrrnor

.einmer.—His Royal Highness nerve lent sanction to
the in•-asure of economy alleged to have been adopted in the
case of Sir G. Beckwith ; and for this plain reason, that welt

yrorcelliag rye', took place. Sir George «•as never deprived
*if hi, pal• as a General Officer in the wanner asserted.
QneNtion the h.—ls it not natural., just, and fair, to ex-
pect from his 11. y al Highness the saint attention to the pub-

,11:: interest in his own case, as hi the ease of others ?

.4fresiver.—lt is " natural, just, and fair," that his Royal
flightless alicuhl pay attention to the public interest, and he
has always fiFinly, honestly, and consistently performed those
duties wln.o the real and substantial interest of Lis country
called for their exertion.

OursOm the Gt h.—Are not the affowmices of " Commander
of the Forces" abroad, struck (T' ; and does the situation of
Enrope require that this kingdom should pay one Field Mar-
shal as Cominander-in-Chiel, whi !e the first Military Hero of
Europe presides over the Ordnanc; DepartuleA, mid fills a
seat in the Cabin& of the Realm ?

Answer.;—The pay'and allowa.ers of the Commander of the
Forces ahload, arenot struck off, with the exception of the
Cape of Good Hope and Ceylon, where the military pay has
been, struck ar by his Majesty's Ministers itr consideration of
the civil income being 10,0001. a year ; and the situatitm of
Europe and the military interests of the country do require
that the office of CoMmander-ib-Chief should be filled, as it
h, with advantage to the nation, thoach the great and de-
servedly praised Military Hero alluded-tit, does fill the situri-
tit.)n of Ilastet-aeneral of the Ordnance, and a seat in the
Cabinet.

try; the plain fact is, tiviit his income from the country, ex.
viusive of his military income (which woulti he received b
ethers if his Royal Highness were out of the cintstioa)
atnontats exact!). to 27,0001. a including the alicrwartce-
sdttied?i the D'nehess.

Slo moat for Onosander's questions7J'Are you answered
now ?" But as the attack appears to rest upon and have its
grrintedtO the autos of his Majestey's
person, we hare•a few teruarlts to •make upon that subject,
and with ttienrwe .shall conclude: In the a'aiioot :perches
we have read, we do not recollect to have fJund this pOint
stilf.cientlY Pressed. It has beets wished b, the Opposition to
Rave the'vestion considered in niie`poifitiOf view alone; the
relation between 'father and son, resting npon the same
givotinds' as the case of an individttal in firivate life having the
care of his father." Now,"ltad thatflieen'the teal and fair way
of viewing the subject, the Dukes would have rejected with
disdain any consiietation of pecuniary recompense in the
vceution of his duties as a son to a belOved parent. To be
sktre, this:mode of consitlering the King and his son, as if
they wercrno more than private individuals, may accord very
well with one Party.—They, God knows ! hare given proofs
enough of their wishes to curtail the state and dignity of the

afflicted Kit)g-

What need

But the real question is not orte of mere private individuals
and private feeling.. Had it been so, what necessity would
there have been for Parliamentary interference ? But it is a
public question. The first Magistrate is the public property.
The guarPlian of his person in his affliction is a public Ser-
vant ; he is accountable to the State for the performance of
it ; it is conferred upon him by the Legislature. 'The Legis-
lature bad confided the important trust to the Queen, with
such an allowance. After her decease the trust was confer-
red upon his }loyal Highness, without any 'reference to him
Personally; and we do not see hoW he could, as a son and -a
public servant, have declined the allowance which the Par-
liaiuent haci thought it rightito continue to the Custos, which
allowance had been gratted to and. accepted by his Royal
.'lot her. Would they have had him express by his refusal an
implied censure on the Queen, and thus, by the condemna-
tion of the conduct of a deceased parent, have shown hisfit-
vexijto be entrusted with the care of the persou of a living

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

[The Tinies] •

Our Correspondence from Paris of this day is
worthy of attention. The Kim; seems resolute
to show the world that he is sincere, and earnest
in the support which he lends to his Ministers.
On a lute occasion he deliberately overlooked M.
Barthelemy, wtio,stood 'rear his throne; and gave
Messrs. Laine and Ravez a reception which was
not calculated to make titrin ambitious -of surh
another. The tumult at Nistnes is, in our private
letter, described as a movement of the Ultra-
Royalists, and the actors in it to have been the
same class, of men who in the year 1815 signa-
lized themselves by their oncrageous persecution
of the Protestants. The National Goard and
Gendarmerie, tinder the Maryiess de Pa!,,,ne, had
rAkett tip anus for the protection of the public
peace ; but -twenty of the rioters whom they
had in Clistody were rescued by main lotce.
the departure nt the estatette from that
qu,rier, atiquilliiy had been pretty well re esta-
blished.,
