The House was summoned to the House of Lords, to hear the
Royal Assent given by Commission to several Bills (for the titles
of which see the Lords Report).
IttSKS AND HANTS CANAL.
Mr. C. DUNDAS moved that the Committee on this Canal
do Continue to sit.
Mr. F PALMER opposed the motion, on the ground that se4
wail parties lad yet to prove their cases, which would occupy so
grit throe-that no deeision could be had this Session.
Sir. C. DUNDAS thought otherwise, and said that he was in-
structed by the Committee to isk for leave.
Mr. CA LC RA FT opposed the motion. It was utterly impossi-
ble to carry the Hill into a law this Session. The parties had been
put to an enormous expels*, without the chance of any beneficial
remits. lie should take thy seam of the House on the question.
Mr. BRIGHT said, a week would be quite enough to prove cer-
tain documents, and he hoped the Committee might continue to sit.
Mr. EVANS said, it was very proper that the Committee should
sit. •The evidence might soon be got through with. The expense,
if it was to be incurred at all, might as well be incurred this Session
as in the next.
Hr. Alderman WOOD was against the motion.
Mr. Alderman HF.YGATE contended that the matter should
be settled as early as possible, and hoped the House would grant the
desired leave. There was time enough to go through with all the
evidence this Session. The Bill was likely to confer important be-
nefits on the country.
Sir J. NEWPORT said that there were several witnesses from
Ireland waiting to be examined, and it would be unfair to send them
back again unexamined. He thought the Canal would be of the
greatest advantage and should support the request for leave to sit.
Mr. A. BARING ob.erved, that although on the for.
user occasion Le had voted for the rec mmittal of the
Bill, yet he was afraid that the Session was now so far
advanced as to leave the passing of the Bill utterly
hopeless. He was, however, of opinion, that the Canal
would be a most valuable one. Still it might be a matter of consi-
detation whether the opposers of the Bill should not try their oppo-
aikido this Session ? He confessed he was in a state of embarrass.
meat as to how be ought to vote on the motion.—The House then

Dalls, and Mr. W. WiIiTSIOSt took part, the question was loudly
called for. Strangers withdrew, but the House did not divide, the
further- debate being adjourned until Monday.
GRANT TO THE DUKE OE CUMBERLAND.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that this

8.11 be read a third time.
. The Marquis of TAVISTOCK rose to oppose the
motion. He called on the Chancellor of the Exchequer
as a man of honour, to state whether he' believed that
the whole of this I.rge grant was necessary for the
education of this child ?—(Hear.)--If he would lay his
hand on sus heart and say so, then he (the Marquis of
Tavistock, would consent to the grant,.though with the
greatest reluctance, and in the belivf that the grant was
too extravagant. He had the highest opinion of tie
Chancellor of ail Exchequer, though he had not the
honour of his acquaintance, and on any serious asset-
tionfrom him he world rely. It was 3 source of se•
Bret that the Right Hon. Gentleman had not come
down to Parliament in his usual straight-forward way,
and asked for the addition of- 6,0001. *lear for the
)puke of Cumberland; if he had done so, he (the Mar-
quis of Tavistock would have had- less oblecrion to the
grant. No public charge had ever been brought against
his Rnyal Highness, though it was true that by some
way or other he had lost the good opinion of the public.
For that, however, he had been sufficiently punished.
He could .never consent to vote for a grant brought
forward in this indirect and disgraceful way. Another
sellection to so large a sum being granted to so young
a child was the inconvenience and danger of the puce-
dvist—(llear). It was now some time since be had
takers a part in any debate, bdt he had always looked
with great anxiety so the politics of the country. He
had witnessed with unmixed pleru-are the wise, im-
proved, and liberal system of policy recently adopted by Govern-
Meat, and particularly by tae Right Honourable Secretary for
Tiortigts,Affairs...(lleat). lie could not express the astonishment
Ise felt at s..^.cing them risk tht it good name, by becoming a Par:;' to
so paltry ap,:gglt. Ile had thought them much too honest VOL. suet+
a job as this. 'flot Noble Martinis concluded by expressing his
thanks to tie Learned Ilendler for Winchelsea, for his manly and

• General PAI4IEIt- said, be 11'43 hitherto taken to°
,ilent vote,
this op',

ri!on ; but further consideration and justice to the party
whose honour and interests were at stake, determined
'him to combat his reluctance to address it. He was
'else of those who, in e former instance, had supported
the motion for the same increased alloo a ce to the
Peke of Cumberland that was voted to his brothers
under the same circumr alters; and had always con-
.sidered the rejection of ttsat measure as an act of in-
justice to his Royal Highness, and- an insult to the
honour and feelings of the Crown. It as, there ore,
solely upon that giound he must vote for the present
Bill, condemning it in all other respects. Ile had
before declared, and now repeated his conviction, that
the only enemies of the Crown were its own Ministers;
nor since he ha,l been in Parlixmei.t, did he re-
member- a single onestion %viol-, in its honour and
llamas were concerned, that all 0 e discredit brought
upon it was not solely to be imputed to them.—
They, and not the people ra ere its constitutional advisers,
and their neglect compelled other; to the painful and
invidious task of doing their duty for them. Either
they dared not tell the Crown the truth, or purposely
b ought it into collision with the people to divert their
attention from acts of deeper mischiet, and thus throw
a tub to-the whale. flow else was their conduct to be
explaimd, unless such was the force of habit, they could
not pursue-a straight course wit-n nothing stood in the
way ? As to the present Bills they had only renewed it
in its former shape, with the simple statement that his
Royal Highness, after ten years' absence,was desicons of
returning to England with his family, in the only way
that, consistently with his honour and interest, he cnuld
aetern, viz. by being placed on the same footing wit;.
the other branches of the Crown, the present ground of
objections to the Bill would not have existed ; instead of
which Migisters had not only run their heads against a
wall, btit actuhily built it for the purpose. In place or
k grant of WOOL to the-,only party wishing it, they
celled upolOParliament for double the amount, for rea-
sons false in themselves, or which, ii true,were revolting
to the sense and feelings of the people. and humiliating
to all parties brought forward in the debate, excepting
that Illustrious Female whose exemplary conduct had
spoken.for itself, and gained her the esteem and admi-
ration of the country. But the individual who if not a
party to the act, had been placed by Ministers in an
invidicus light, was that personage whose splendid
income the country had hitherto saved from that appli-
cation to Parliament which the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, the guardian of the public purse and the honour
Of the Crown, bad now deemed to be necess try ; and to
whom he must say, upon the face of that application,
discredit attached somewhere, and whoever the cap
fitted, the party ought to wear it. But his chief object
in addressing the House was to defend the individual
whose personal character had been the sole ground. of op-
position to that grant in the former instance the real
object of the present Bill, and with respect to which, no
person could have felt at that time a stronger prejudice
u;ainst the party than himself, for re nuns connected
with his political conduct. But the same motive which
had dictated his former vote, called on him stow to
declare his conviction that no man had been more
grossly calumniated than his 'Royal H ghneas. As to
his politics, was it unnatural that, born and educgted
at Court, with a Bishop for his tutor, he should be a
Tory in his principles, and like all others, whatever
they might pretend, AM enemy to civil and religious
liberty ? But in private life he knew, and would an-
swer for the fact, that his Royal Highness was in all
respects a manly, open, honourable character—a most
kind and affectionate husband ; further, that he .was
neither a spendthrift nor a gambler, but from the libe-
rality of his nature, had bten led into difficulties which
had compelled him to reduce his establishment, and
live abroad, because the House of Commons, in the
exercise of its discretion, had withhAd that assistance
which would have prevented the necessity. L istly, as'
to the cause of his unpopularity, which st Right Hon.
Gentleman had ascribed principally to his marriage,
the real ground bad been stated by another Hon. Member, viz. his
Seal in the service of those who, by their " No Popery" cry, had
turned out their opponents. But the crime brought its own pu-
nishment, in the resentment of the persons he bad offended, whilst
he was deserted by his own party, and especially that individual
who bad made a tool of him, as he had since made of another, and
for which last act deserved impeachment as much as any Minister
who had yet been brought to the scaffold.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
he should be 'extremely sorry that any conduct of his
should forfeit the good opini.a of the Noble Lord who
opened the debate. He felt himself unworthily honoured
by the manner in which that Noble Lard had been
pleased to speak of his character, but he was still under
the necessity of saying, that whether they were right or
wrong, the grounds upon which he and his Right Honi
Friends had advised his Majesty to recommend this
measure, were those of enabling the Duke of Cumber-
land to edacate his son ; and if that son had not been
born, such advice would not have been given. It ap-
peared to them, that WOW. a year having been granted
to the other Royal Dukes upon their marri rges, and not
to the Duke of Cumberland, it was but right and just,
now that a child was born to him, that he should be
enabled to give that child such an education as the,
people of this country would expect hint' to have. It
was natural to suppose that the Royal Duke and his
Royal Consort would come over to superintend the
education of their child, and when in this country, the
Duke of Cumberland would not have the same means
of meeting his additional expenditure as those possessed
by his Royal brothers. Under these circumstances, he
saw nothing in the measure, which as an honest Miniver
he could not enuscieniously recommend t r the House.
He had only to add a few words, for-the purpose of correcting a
mistake into which be had fallen in the course of a previous debate.
—ln answer to a question from an Hun Member opposite, he bad
stated that the Lady to whom his Royal Highness the Duke of Sus-•
sex was married, received an allowance of £4,500 a-year front his
Majesty. He bad since ascertained the fact to be, that this Lady
received E 2,500 only front the Crown, that being reduced to £2,000
by the usual deductions from pensions and allowances ; and that
the remaining "000 she had received at the hands of the Duke
of Sussex—(Hear).
Mr.,TIERNEY said he could not suffer this measure
to go through its last stage without stating the ground,
upon which he had uniformly voted against it. He
would say nothing of the private character of the Duke
of Cumberland; tor, supposing him to be a-Prince for
whom the highest respect was entertained, his objection
would still be that the measure was bad in principles
and still worse as a precedent for future proceedings.,
He protested against tie un on of the two cases which
had been brought beforethem. It was not becatoe the
two children had been born tit'ce the last settlement of,
the income of the Royal Dukes, that the necessity of
any fresh one arose, but because the father of one if
theta had died since Oat period, and lett her with no
other provision than the jointute of her mother. It
was well known to him, es. well as to many other of
his Bomorable Filerols; thOt his Highness
Princr, Leopold had o!slo3 its sister in the seprott

of her child, and that they had• requi-ed no inerea!el
of income whatever. Here, then, they had the principle
of applying, on behalf of a child four removes from the
Crown, for a patlianientary provision to the amount of
-6.0001. a-year. The provision was for the child, and
not for the Duke, and that was his objectiim. He
found by relert ing to former grants, that no provision
was made for the Dukes of Sussex and Cambridge, un-
til they were—the one twenty-eight and the other
twenty-nine years of age. In the ca-es of the Duke of
Kent and The Duke of Cumberland themselves, the for-
mer was thirty two, and the latter twenty-eight, before
any Parliamentary provision was a pplied for. It was
said to be highly desirable to Ining this young PI ince to
England, that he might receive his education here; and
he confessed that at first he was struck with the propo-
sal. Het upon refiection he did not see the necessity of such ar-
rangement, and thought it cruel-to separate the child from its parents
at such an age. The late King, to whom they must all revert with
reverence, so far from feeling any alarm upon this point, sent his
sons to Germany to be educated—(A Laugh)—and he was not
aware that any bad consequences had resulted from it. The Right
Hun. Gentleman then stated some objections to the wording of the
Bin, and pointed out that former grants had been made" during the
will and pleasure of his Majesty. ' If this were altered, most of his
objections would be removed, but he should continue to vote against
the Bill la its present state.
Mr. Secretary CANNING.—The observations which
I think it necessary to make on what has fallen from
the Right Honourable Gentleman who has just sat
down, will be very brief, as he has nearly dismissed
altogether his other objections to the Bill, and has con-
fined himself specifically to the absence of any controul
on the part of his Majesty over the funds to be applied
to the education a tbis young Prince. 'stow I appre-
hend,
that the first -step we have to take is, to ascertain
if it be the pleasure of bis• Royal Highness the Duke of
Cumberland to come over and take up his residence
in this country ? In that case, undoubtedly, the money
is to be paid immediately to his Royal Highness, and
is to be at his disposal. But, suppose his Royal High-
ness should determine to continue to reside abroad—l
can assure the Right Honourable Gentleman, that
neither I, nor my Honourable Fait nd have the means
at present of proving what will be his actual deter-
mination—but suppose his Royal Highness should
determine to continue to reside abroad, it will then be-
come the duty of his Majesty's Ministers, before they
sanction the issues in. question, to take care that such
arrangements shall be made as may insute the applica-
tion of the money to the purpose for which it has been
voted by Parliament. In neither alternative, therefore,
can I perceive any disposition, either on the one hand
to tear the child from the parent, or on the other hand,
to render it imperative on the parent to reside in Eng-
land. But while it would be harsh to make a return
to this country on the part of his Royal Highness, a
condition of educating the young Prince, here is every
temptation to him to do so, and at the same time a
security to the country, that if his Royal Highness
shall not return, the money voted by Parliament will
not be misapplied. With respect to the propriety of
educating this young Prince in England, the Right
Honourable Gentleman allows that, in the first instance,
he was taken with the notion of it. So was my Right
Honourable Filmic' and myself. The only difference
. between us and the Right Honourable Gentleman is
i this--that after more mature deliberivion we persevere
in our original opinion, whilst the Right Honourable
Gentlemen departs from hie. But we are told that this
will establish ii dangerous precedent. I do not say
that unhappy event& may not, on some future occasion,
bring other children of the Royal Family into the same
situation in which this Royal Prince is placed; but
every occasion of that nature will require a separate
consideration. I am convinced that there is not any
Honourable Member who will believe, that should his
Royal Highness tt e Duke of Cumberland be induced
to return to England, the increase in his expenses, oc-
casion:4 by transferring his residence from a country
in which be has probably few calls upon him, to a
country in which he will probably have many c.ills
upon him, will be more than compensated by 6,0004
a year ; considering also that in that sum will be in-
cluded the expense of educating his son. I do not
mean to say, that the whole of this money will be ex-
pended upon the education of this child during the
first or second year immediately succeeding the grant.
I do not contend for any such point, for I consider
the vote to be making provision for a whole minority.
In the early years of this minority, the sum might perhaps exceed
the actual amount of disbursements onlceestnt of the education et
the child, but at the age of fifteen or sixteen, the sum will be lose
rather than more than necessity will require. But undoubtedly I
mean that the grant, according to the most careful calcidatioor is
equal to the whole object of educating the child, and it is not right
to come, year after year, to Parliament to revise such a grant; and
in taking all the circumstances of the case into consideration, I am
convinced that 60001. a year cannot be viewed asan extraordinary
grant, or as anything that can have a covert purpose beyond what is
the declared object cf the provision. Undoubtedly it is the purpose
to give to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland the option
of returning to England without encountering any embarrassment in
superintending the education of his child. Whether, on the other
hand, it is not the Duke of Cumberland's pleasure to return to this
einustry,is a subject upon which, as I have before said, I can give
' Obit House no information. The grant will fully provide for the
education of the child in England; and considering the whisk
extent of the minority, it will not exceed the average of yeesly
expenditure. For my part, I must confess myself utterly unable to
discover what there is in this proposal that deserves to be stigmatised
as so dishonest, so unfair, and so disgraceful a proceeding. Undoubt-
edly it may be said, that it would have been more straight-forward
if the Government bad ascertained whit would be the Duke of Cam-
beriand's decision • and by deferring the measure we aught havolimea
able to state his Royal Highness's determination; but, en the ethic
hand, it cannot be said that the grant is, its any sense sighs wire, is.
travagant. If the Duke of Cumberland were to berestraillill SOW
side in this country, I am persuaded that the sum is Wm, MAO
than above the necessities of the case ; and, considering the oat*
and number of years It is to cover, it is not more than wise*
absolutely necessary to defray the expenses of education. The
Honourable Member opposite (Mr. Tierney). says, that there are
few precedents of a Ministry coming upon Parliament for the pro-
vision of a child at so early an age. and that the country was not
called upon to make similar provisions for the children of his late
Majesty. But the younger branches of the Royal Family, in the.
last reign, were living under the same roof with their father, and
were in immediate succession to the Crown. This makes an ewes.
dal difference in the cases. At present, 1 need scarcely say, that
the King has uo expectation that the branches of all his brothers
sinjuld be supported by him. All the other brothers have separate
means of maintenance, and Abe ,Dsiketf, Munberland is one to
14fisean
whom you have denied th s of defraying his own expenses,
or of providing for his chi en. When motives are imputed, I do
not know how I can do than merely deny them. I can only
say, that I am conscious of no such motives as have been attributed
to than who have brought forward and supported this measure.
When the proposition was stated to toe, it appeared fair and rea-
sonable. One object of educating this young Prince in England
, appeared to me of the highest national importance, and' to forward
that object of national importance we are now providing the means,
in as unexceptionable a way as the difficulties of the case will admit.
Mr. BROUGHAM contended that the real motive for bringing"
forward the Bill was the giving the Duke of Cumbuiand £6,000 a.
year which in 11115, and agaiu in lule, had been directli refused
' by Parliament. He objected to the measure mask strongly, because
Stmeas to naturalize the principle in our Consthdtion, that every
ddi horn to the Royal family, whether he was the soil, gratidsoo,
ar astbew of they Crown, was to come to Parliament for a se-
pante provision. Upon this he should take the sense of the liouae,
and he trusted that by du: dtviston the House would rctiturn its

Dr. LUSHINGTON objected to the clause relative tts the'

QUARAN7LVE 4fT NAPLES.

We annex a copy of the Quarantine Regulations established at
Naples, in consequence of the measure proposed in England for
modifying the Quarantine Laws of this country; and there cannot
be a more pregnant example of the dangerous consequences to our
commerce, which the erroneous opinion dial we were about to.
repeal the Quarantine Laws has occasioned. The agitatiuts of the
question is even one of great delicacy. The martial:in on British
vessehermperform quarantine and unload at Nedta ruinous to all
cone in the argots, were it only for the enormous charge
made for labour by the men who work at unloading the ships in *-
Lazaretto at Nesita, which amounts to about its: en hour for nth,
labourer. The new regulations me as follow :
1. All vessels arriving from Great Britain, or with a portion oft
cargoes shipped there and not landed at an intermediate port, must
proceed at once to the Lazaretto at Nesita, there to unload.
2. If the cargo consists wholly or in pan of manufactures, such
manufactures must perform twenty.one days quarantine a the laza-
retto of Nesita, and the vessel fourteen days, which quaraikine only
commences from the day the last package has been discharged. If
the cargo consists wholly orlin part of cotton yarn, the same molt
also be unloaded at Nesita; but if the Beare of Health has not yes
decided upon the extent of quarantine, which will, however, be of
longer duration than that on manufacture. Sugars and otherun.
susceptible goods must be equally discherge:i at Nesits, but may
conic round to Naples at once, provided there be no paper indde
the package.
3. Vessels with entire cargoes of iron, or other metals, must alnir
discharge at Nesita, but such cargoes may come to Naples forth..
with; and the vessel's quarantine of fourteen days will commeocio
%rom the day of arrival at Naples, and not from that of final dis-
charge, as in the ease of manufactures and other susceptible goods.
4. The quarantine charges -for the men unloading at Nmita- ant
1$ ducats for every three hours.

Oticle:

The Republic of Hayti applied some time since to the Colom-
bian Republic, to obtain a treaty, ofieivtive and defensive : the latter
Government declined the proposal. We are now furnished, by the
Royal Gazette, with the grounds on which the refusal was made.—
The answer of the Government of Colombia states:

I. 'That, as the Government of Ilayti had only allowed twenty
days for its Minister to obtain the treaty, the time was too short to
discuss, much less to decide, a question of so much importance.
2. TMt a treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, might expose
the Republic of Colombia to a contest with France, with which
power no controversy extlted.
3. That the Government of Colombia could not enter into such
a treaty without consulting the Republics of Rio de la Plata, Chili,
and Peru ;' that a Congress, consisting of delegates from those
Powers, would assemble at Panama, in October next, when the
overture from the Haitian Government :would be made, and that
there was little doubt of a favourable answer.

was presented praying that CHAIM= X. should be surnamed the

province of the Chamber to coac titles on the reigning Mossirelh
zecomtnended, but with regret, as they ...tared the sentiments of tint'
petitioner, that the Chamber should pass on to the Order of the
Day. M. Comm:yam said, that France had not waited till then
to give her King a name suggested by her affection towards him.
•• Yes," exclaimed the eptbusiastic Deputy, in concluding an elabo-
rate panegyric on the Severiign, " there is no need to look for any
