SPIRI 1' OF THE JOLUINALS.

CHRONTCLE." I place, without reserre, at your disposal my in.
tercet in the hereditary revenues, and in those funds which may be de-
rived from any droits of the crown or admiralty, from the West India
duties, or from any casual rerenass, either in twit forties possessions
or in the United Kingdom." Such are the words in which, speaking by
the mouth of his Maiesty,ministett announced to the House of Commons
the cession which, on the part of the crown, they were prepared to advise as
the foundation for, and preparatory to, a new settlement of the civil
List. In what more general and comprehensive language the revenues
of the Crown could have been described, or how the most unreserved
and unconditional surrender of those revenues could have been more
distinctly announced, we are at a loss to imagine; nor would it have
been credible that any men, even the members of this Cabinet, with all
their ineptness in the choice of language proper to be employed in the
great and solemn manifestoes of Government, should have conceived
the preposterous notion of reconciling with a renunciation, thus specific
and redundant even to tautology, the reservation which, by the speech
of Mr. Goulburn, on Friday night, appears to be new intended.

Trans.—ln acting with the promptitude which they have evinced,
and in convoking so speedily a national convention, to settle the tu•ure
government of the country, M. de Potter and ills associates have not
only shown good sense and good intentions, but have made considerable
personal sacrifices to their patriotism.

Trsts..—The general principle of the proposal Civil List is now be.
fore the country, though it will hereafter, no doubt, undergo a rigid discus-
sion, and perhaps be subjected to some alight changes .ra- :her. The
principle is this--that in lieu of the hereditary revenues of the crown,
amounting, it is estimated, at the present time, to upwards of 800,0(101
a civil list shall be granted of above 1,000.0001. in round numbers. But
then of that 1,000,000 the King can only be said to take to himself
something short of one half, as under the following heads :
Privy Purse £llO,OOO
Great Officers of the Household.. 140,000
Tradesmen,' bills .. 210,500

Total amount £460,600
The rest is applied to the payment d.ludges' and Ambassadors' sala-
ries, and other objects which are as public rather than of a personal or
private nature. The reduction is, as we stated lwieily on Saturday,
010,0001. per annum ; this is to be the whole retreeehment upon the
Civil List : but then there is so establishment for the Qoeen, estimated
at 100.0001. and this sum of 101.0001. is not to be added to the Civil
List, but is to be comprised within it, after it is diminished by
he amount above stated of 10,01101. The nest subject for cond.
