MILITARY ISNTITIV3ANCE.
Lord NITGENT observed, that it was his intention to hare
asked a question of the Noble Secretary of War had he heel' in
'his place. As that Noble Lorn was absent, he should beg to
ask his Majcst y's •Ind.ze .Advocate the same question. lie ( Lord
N.) bad leartnol that the late disturb:ince amongst a portion
of the Guaeds was attributed to the failure in issuing a cer-
tain rate of allowance which was eallen " riot money." Re-
collecting that a very consideralde allowance, both of bounty
and pay, was made to soldiers, he could not lecognize the pro-
priety orally increase when they were-called upon for duty in
ally service. Knowing also, that if they were ordered to march
fit Foreign service no such increased rate of allowance was
either given or expected, by what rule should-it be granted
when employed against their fellow•citirens ? As a very im-
_portatit question stood for discussion that night, he should
nut enlarge upun the point at present, hot he wished to hear
from bis Majesty's Judge Advocate how long it had been the
„practice of the Government to issue the increased allowance
of " riot money ?y' hear !l
Mr. BECKETT said die should be glad to give the Noble
Lord a distioct answer, but be was only able at present to
state, that such arrrangonents wets made II the Secretary
at
War.

(In the Order of the Da} for the second•reading of the East
lodic Company's Volunteer Corps 11111,
CII EEVEY t he Bill was not yet printed, and there-

HER. MAJESTY THE QUEEN. -

Lord CASTLEREAGH appealed at the Bar with a
lining,: of parts in his hands. Having, Iry the
de'ire of the Chair hr•iug'lt them up to the ribk,
tlnii titles were read by the Cleik [ride Lords]
Lord CASTLEREAG.H then rose and said—l think
-i; my duty to acquaint the House, on the part of
his Majesty's Ministets, that in compliance with
its general wish, every endeavour has been made
by them to relieve Parliament from the paiotui
riecessity of entering into tare present delicate in-
sprity, and that Isis Majesty has been pleased to
authorise that the communications which have
taken place towards that ead should be laid be- •
sore the noose. It is with great pain I have to
vale to the House, that this negociation has not
led to any satisfactory arrangement. Feeling the
great importance of this .question to the Illostri-
s)us Personages themselves, and to the Nation at
large, I do think it would he most improper to
proceed further in the consideration of this sub-
ject', without laying helot e this House, in the
most authentic manner, the efforts that have been
Made to release Parliament from the painful ne-
cessity of such an investigation, together with the
grounds that have prevented their success. The
papers are now in a state ready to he printed, and
will be delivered by to-morrow to the Members
of this House. I feel it therefore my duty to
move, that the present Order be discharged, and
to postpone to Wednesday next the farther con-
sideration of his Majesty's most gracious Mes-
sage, in order that this [louse might be enabled,
'Hider all the difficulties of the case, to proceed to
-its discussion %rids the fullest information as to
every thing that has (menu-ed.
Mr. BROUGH AM—I rise to express my perfect
concurrence in the view which the Noble Lord
has taken of the unfortunate failure of this nego.
dation. He cannot led greater pain than Ido at
the unfortunate result of the attempt to adjust the
existing differences between the Illustrious Per-
sonages. To that Illustrious Personage, to advise
whom it is my duty, I think not a shadow of
blame can attach : hut, in staling this, I do not
ask this House, nor do I mean to imply that blame
for such a result is to be attributed to the other
Illustrious Party. It is possible, and barely pos-
sible, that amidst all the other pecidiatities that
attend this extraordinary case, the House would
find that blame, as arising out of the failure of this
negociation, attaches in no quarter.
Lord CASTLEREAGH Stated, that the papers
would he delivered to the Members to-morrow.

The Order was then discharged, any) the'discus-
,„
won °w ale Royal Message fixed for Wednesday
next.

CRIMINAL. LAW.

Sir .T. MACKINTOSH postponed to a future day the second
reading of the Bills in amelioration of the Criminal Law,
which stood for Wednesday, untilthatday se'nnight.

COMMITTEE OF WAYS AND MEANS

The House resolved itself into a Committee of Ways and
eans.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose to call
the attention of the Committee to the financial arrangements
of the year. The Right Honourable Gentleman in vain en-
deavoured to be heard, in consequence of the agitation that
prevailed in the House and below the Bar, frnn► the moment
the result of the negociation as to the Royal differences was
communicatett to the House.- The noise and confusion ap-
pearing to increase rather than to diminish,
Mr. GRENFELL rose to order. In the disordered state of
the 1-I,:use he would really recommend his Right Honourable
• Friend to defer the financial statement on which he was about
to enter.

C:ATLEREAGE-I seconded this recommendation.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER acquiesced ;
and on his motion the Chairman, who had strenuously exert-
ed him himself, hut in vain to procure silence, and who ex-
-Imres4p- his dope that the House wowd acquit him of any neg-
I,ct of dnty on the occasion, was instructed to report progress
stod ask leave to sit aL:aiti.
The House haring resumed, the Chairman accordingly ob-
tained leave to sit again that day.
