.:The Duke of ATHOL expressed nearly similar

sions mould 'n‘i m.ade, and for any thing that had
been s =id th .y.ltati no reason to think otherwise,
without ;&,e necessity of adding to the burthens
ot the people. There could, therefore, be not the
least neeet•sity for SHCII an Amendment to the ori-
ginal Address.
Laid ROLLE would support his Majesty's Mini-

where he thought they acted rightly, arid he con-
fi trusted the necessary arrangements in the
present instance would be made without laying
any .additional
,burthens on the people of this
cintntry.

Lord de D.UNSTAN'VILLE observed, though he,
entertained not the least objee.tiOn to a liberal
proVish:n for the illustriims, personages in ques-
tion, yet as he felt the greatest repugnance to the
least addition being wade to the burthens of the
country, he should, as it may possibly tend to
obviate such a contingency, support the Amend-
Ment,

Lord HOLLAND spoke at 'some length on the
occasion. lusitead of the present being, as con-
tended,: an .unfit time for the 'Amendment, he
thought it peculiarly proper. On his view of all
that had from the Noble Earl, he was de-
cidedly of opinion that the introduction of an
amendment of the kind into the Address was
desirable. Much of'what the Noble Earl
'-said was air defence of. his original intention.
Such an intention, therefore, may, if the means
presented thentselves, be recurred to again ; and
in such view, he, deemed it proper the opinion of.
the House should be expressed as in his Noble
Ftiend's Amendment, The Noble
_Earl's idea,
also, that the subject should be considered only
on gener,al principles, fortified him in the opi-
nion that some amendment was necessary. Every
care shouldlie taken, in the present impoverished
and heavily,laden situation of the people, not to
arht in the smallest,degree to these burdens. And
wken he considered the vast and unparalleled sa-
crifices already wade •'!,y the people of this 'coun-
try for upholding the splendour of the Crown, it
was the impelions duty of the Legislature to fake
care that no more sacrifices should be made on
that score. lodeed, he thought that many re-
tre.richineufs might. he made in the present Royal
E.tablishments. Much of Court pageantry, as by
no !Ileitis essential to the constitutional splendour
of the Crown, may and ought to he abolished,
and which, so tar from degrading Use Royal
Qfke, would give it more real dignity in the eyes
of the people. He wouli, therefore, !void for the
Amendment.
The Earls of LAUDERDALE and GROSVENOR
briefly delivered their sentiments—the fornier
seeming to incline against the Amendment as
proposed and the latter decidedly in favour of it.
The Question was then called for, and being
pub, the Amendment was negatived without a
; and the priginal Addres.s afterwards voted
by their Lordships.
T;te Address was ordered to be
_presented to hiS
Royal. Highness the Prince Regent in the usual
way, and the House adjourned till to-morrow.
