ObliMselizonwitztrs
the Chief Magistrate of the country ; and it by no
MOM followed that the inferior branches of th 9
Royal Family were to be provided for on the same
scale. He could see no reason for making the pro-
posed grant. If the country, for political purposes,
compelled a Prince to matry; it, was but fair that they
should belt the attendant expense. This, however,
,was not the case in the present instance. and he
therefore felt himself compelled to vote for the amend.
Mr. PROTHEROE thought if Ministers were
aware how unpopular a grmit to the Duke of Cum-
berland would be, they would not have brought for-
ward such a proprsition. He had been in hopes that
his Royal Highness himself, after the slender majo-
rity by which the motion was carried on the pieced-
',g day, would not condescend to accept of a grant
iat had been so strongly opposed. Ile did not think
Any Gentleman in that House would accept of it stn.
der such circumstances.
• Mr. FORBES supported the m-tion. He com-
plained of the langoaoe which had been held on this
subject as being of x disgr.tteful tendency. He had
lived long enough to know hater than to believe
more than half of what he heard. Many who bore
ghnd names had committed bad actions, and vice
versa. He should vote in favour of the grant, first,
because the Duke of Cumbeland was the son of the
King ; be presumed oo this there was no tine:don..
(.4 buck). He would nest ask if the marriage had.
Mot been approved of by the Crown ? .0f this, after
the Message from the; Prince Regent, he apprehended
there could be no doubt. The next question was,
whether the provision made for the Duke of Cum-
berland as a bachelor was sufficient for him as a mar.
Med•man ? He presumed it was not. If it was,. it
folkswed that he had had too much as a bachelor.—
The very moderate increase to his income which. bad
been proposed, was one which he thought might•be
safely voted, without danger of opening a door. to
kw me extravagance. •
Mr. TI FRNEY wished to be informed whether or
dot the Quern was against this marriage—whether
or not, if the Duchess of Cumberland came to Eng-
tiud, she would be received at Court ?—(Hear, hear.),
Lori CASTLEREAGH thought it his duty not
to suffer himself to he drawn in to answer questions
which tended to vilify any part of the Royal Family,
and would not therefore reply to the queries which
had just been put.
Mr. TI ER NErnow was sure that he should be
Itutitied in putting the question on a footing which no
man could i understand. The Commons of Eng-
land were called upon for an annual grant of ,e6OOO,
on account of the marriage of a Royal Duke, with a
Crson respecting whom the principal Minister of the.
rown. when asked to state if she. would be received
at the English Court, should she come to this coun-
try ? ttfoo.d to give an answer. He would now ask
if a rnm;age fr.rmerly contemplated between this per;
son and Atwater Royal Duke, had not on some at-
(mune been broken oil ? Could the Queen not ap.
proviug of the Ladf ith the wife of ore son, be fa-
our.l4:e to .!.er union with an-ther ? To ascertain
thin, h.• had asked if the Dudiess of Comberlani
would be received at Cou'rt ? and to t!tis ynestion the
Noifle Lord would give no answe r. ( _car. lope.)—
This person, it should .seem, tr ttad been supposed
might brit'g the Royal Family into clisrepte, and
sued an idea hating gone abroad, the question he
(Mt. Tierney ) had just put, was, in his apprehension,
a perfectly .proper ct.e. Three was no man who
would not toy that House was degraded it it were
treated as the there bankers of the Court. Yet to this
.degradation ihust they
.submit ; if called upon to
provide for a marriage which has taken place in the
Royal Family, they may not ask any question about,
the Lady, though they were aware front what had
formerly transpired, that the Minister would not date"
to move a vote of congratulation on the occasion ; as
if he did so lie knew he -hould not be able to carry it.
He held this to be the most unfortunate business that
had come out respecting the Royal Family for a
long time. ,If the Prince Regent had consented to
this mart iage, those who advised him to do so had
much to answer for. An Hem. Gentleman had said,
be only believed half at what he heard. If he only
,believed half what was said of the Gentleman.. and
ball what was said of the Lady, he believed Oita
easough on the-present oce +Mori. (hear, hear Tbel
Noble Lord, he supposed, thought himself safe with
s majority of 16 or 17. at his back, and this was
. "tough for hid. (Hear, Par.) le, however, like
Iron. Genti. man, who had taken part in this dal
bate (Mr. Prothero), was of opinion that the Duke, if
animated by a ',toper feeling of what he owed to his
family, wouLl r. jest a grant which was obtained by
sneans of so slender a majority. The law, he admit,
tea. iliblected Princes to some hardships, in order to
guard against improper marriages. This authorised
him fio pm the question he had asked. The mar-rive
ref the Lady with the Polo of Cambridge had been
broke*. off, and was it not reasonable to suppose the
same objection would lie against her union with the
Duke of Cumberland ? that which had been an oh.
stalk berori, not be removed by the-stilmeitis-
tion of one name for another. He thought the grant
wholly unjustifiable, and when the Bib Was brought.
in, he would take the sense of the House un every
raw of it.
