FINANCE.

Mr. MABERLEY nsoved for Accounts of the Net Revenue
(shire "Tinted Kingdom, distinguishing the amount of the
New Duties, and separating the Irish Accounts from those of
'England.
The CHANCELLOR of the. EXCHEQUER remarked, the
papers called for were a contimsation of those granted its the
last Session. They would all show the decrease of the Conso-
lidated Fund, and the manlier in which it had been made Wood.
Mr. MABERLEY said, the present arrestr of the Consoli-
dated Fund was the most important one that had ever been
known, as it amounted tohetween 10,000,0001. and 11,000,0001.
If he. should have a seat in the New Parliament, he should
certainly endeavour to call Ministers to an account for esta-
blishing so dangerous a precedent.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought the
Hon. Gentleman was misinformed on this subject. The ar-
rear of the Consolidated Fund amounted to but 8,300,0001. in
October last. Since that peritsd an improvement had takers
place. In the present quartg- there was already a surplus of
100,0006. over the produce of the correspondlng period of the.
same quarter in the last year.- ttie heal, therefore, hopes
that the arrears of the Consolidated-fund would be very ma-
- terially dituinishe.d by the sth of AprlL The Hon. Gentleman
had spokes' as if the whole deficiency grew out of a defalca-
tion of the Revenue, but this lie shewed .was not the case, as
it was in part caused by the payment ousd:;.ts.sthe Bank.
Mr.MABERLEY and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE-
QUER mutually explained.
The Resolution was then agreed to, as were several motions
for other financial papers.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER obtained leave
to bring in to continue the laws about to expire. He
then brought in this Bill, which was read a first and. second
time,laud ordered to be committed to-morrow.
The. CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER appeared at
the Bar, and stated his Majesty to have been waited upon
with the Address conic to by that House on Friday, which he
was pleased must graciously to receive .—Adjourned.

SOLEM QUIS MC/Alf: FALSUM AIWEAT

I ,ON DON,
TUESDAY, FEI3RETARY 22, 1820.

The subject *of a suitable.provision for the
Quut..N, was last night Again brought forwaHl by
lIUME in the House of Commons. We are
fully aware of the privileges of rarlinnent, end
have nn disposition to incur its censure, but we
may presume to say, that if Mr. Hurts were the
personal enemy of the QUEEN, be could hardly,

in his situation, have manifested his enmity n►ure
completely. lodced,if it were possible to sup-
pose that a Me►uber of Parliament were actuated
by a mete loseof not at iety, under the plea of a
reg►►rd to justice and the welfa►:e of the Com-
munity, Mr. I-lumE has subjected himself to the
suspicion of being influenced by such a motive.
No possible good could arise from the introduction
of such a subject at present into Parliamentary
notice, and consequently into public discussion
throughout the Empire. Ministers had stated,
that tl►e subject of a Provision for THE QUEBN,
(we drop the useless delicacy of styling her a
Great Personage, since all delicacy has-been trod-
den under foot) had occupied their. attention; why
then were they not suffered ti's bring matters
into a proper form, to be submitted to Parlia-
ment ? If this discussion had "taken place out
of Parliament, it is probable that the agita-
tion of it might be deemed very officious, if
not the effect of Party, or a desire of exciting
dissent ion among the People.—Mr. 'hens EY, in
our opinion, delivered a very satisfactory speech
last night•on the subject ; and to shew our re-
gard for impartiality, truth, and justice, we have
given the statement of that speech, as it appears
this day in the Parliamentary Reports of The Morning
Post, the leading and the most confidential of what.
are styled the Government Journals, and the Re-
port of the same speech as it appears in The Morn-
ing Chronicle, the chief organ of Opposition. By
this means the Public at large will be able to
form a just estimate of what the Honourable
Member really said. The subject now admits of
no delicacy, and it must be brought forward,
whatever mischief it may occasion, or however it
may outrage the feelings of his Ma.tes•rY, just
alter lie has recovered from an illness that fired I

the Country with alarm. In one respect we dit

fer from Mr. TIEBNEY, where he says, that " in
this case either the KING was betrayed,
or the QUEEN was insulted." Not to dwell

with critical precision upon the meaning o
the word betrayed, as if His AIAJESTIre

deuce had been violated, the meaning intended. by
the Honourable Member was, that Ministers had

conceded frOm His MAJESTY that information
which they ought to have communicated, accord-

ing to the interpretation of The Morning Chronicle
this day, which says, " we understand Ministers
were in possession of all the information lately
submitted by them to (lie Attorney and Solici-

tor-General, and the Advocate-General, at least
SEVEN MONTHS ago, but that they kept this
information carefully concealed from their Mas-

ter, and reserved the disclosure for the period

when his DiLUBSTY was suffering under the afilic.
tine caused by his Father's death;" and The Chro-

nicle adds,

" it is impossible to conceive a line of
conduct more injurious to the interests of his
