CIVIL LIST EXPENDITURE.

Mr. HUME observed, that the objections of the
Right Honourable the Chancellor of the Exchequer
to the Motion of his Honourable Friend (Sir Henry
Parnell) could not apply to the motion which he had
to propose. The House must be anxious to know
what the actual income of his late Majesty was, not
alone from the Civil Lis; allowed by Parliament, but
from the Reserved Revenues. By the accounts pro-
duced, and ROW on the table of that House, the whole
of that information was afforded from the accession
of his late Majesty to the sth of January, 1815. To
procure the same account from that period up to Ja-
nuary, 1820, would 'rake the information complete.
That was the object of his motion, and it could be
both speedily and efficiently complied with, by giving
the accounts for the respective years for the different
classes in totals, together with the details of the last
year. The most satisfactory arrangement was made
by the distribution into classes in the year 1786.—
Two subsequent alterations had taken place in 1804
and 1816, by transferring charges from one account
to another; and by which claims on the Civil List
were made chargeable on the Consolidated Fund.—
' If Gentlemen could have the subject fully before
them, and were in possession of the items, they would
at once feel the necessity of a correct distribution and
arrangement. By the present system, the accounts
were most complicated ; for example, a sum of
£600,000 was now paid out of the Consolidated
Fund, wholly exclusive of the Civil List, though. ori-
ginally belonging to the latter. Since the accession
of his late Majesty, there had been voted to the Civil
List 1:53,000,000-1.:9,000,000 of which were paid
out of the Consolidated Fund, and which constituted
a part of the former at the period of the late King's
accession. He considered it a great anomaly, and he
mentioned it in illustration, that the Speaker of that
House should raw £1560 a-year of his salary from
one class in the distribution—(Hear,liear)—and have
the remainder made up from another source. The
accounts should be simplified, as it was impossible

that Members could understand the accounts as they
were now made out. His next olleet,..was to know
what had been done since the passing of theAct'of
the 36th ? Ile believed it would be found that there
had been a great excess beyond ,the estimates, pro•
posed, and he was doubtful whether the whole
lamount of the charges had been paid. By the Re-
port of the Commissioners on the Civil List, it ap-
peared that a considerable increase had taken place
in the third class. His second motion went to obtain
the amount of the Civil Contingencies in totals. The
third was to ascertain the return from the Exchequer
of the amount paid out of the Consolidated Fund to
branches of the Royal Family and the Judges. The
Honourable Member concluded with moving—" That
there be laid before the House, an account in totals
paid for each class with respect to the Civil List,
from the sth of January, 1816, to the .sth of January,
1820, with the details of the last year, and a state-
ment of the amount unsatisfied,'
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ob-
served, that the objects which the Hon. Gentleman
had in view were provided for by the Act of 1816,
which directed, that if at any time the expenditure
of the Civil List should exceed the Revenue by the
sum of sixteen millions, an account of the excess
should be presented to the House within thirty-one
days. He was perfectly prepared to say, that the
provisions of that Act had not been violated; that
all the issues had been regular, and that all the
charges had been paid, and that there had been no
excess of charge over Revenue. He would move the
previous question on the Right Honourable Gentle-
man's motion.

Mr. IJUME, in reply, requested the Right Hon.
Gentleman would name one proof of all the charges
having been paid. It was well known that Ministers
bad not always adhered with strictness to the provi-
sions of such Acts as that of 1816. and that on for-
mer occasions above three millions had been voted
by Parliament to make good such violations. He,
for one, did not know, and the House had generally
a right to know, if the whole amount had been paid,
land in what classes. If information on this important
subject was thus refused in limine, it would be useless,
to enter into any discussion upon it.
Mr. HUSKISSON tontended, that to assert that
the House had a right to call for a detailed account
of the expenditure of the Civil List, was altogether a
new doctrine. He had heard many debates in that
House on the subject, and he had never before heard
such a doctrine maintained. He recollected that a
very high authority, the late Mr. Fox, distinctly
stated, drat unless the Crown came to Parliament
for assistance with respect to the Civil List—(Hear,
hear !)—Parliament could not call for any account of
its application and expenditure. Now, the sum
granted to the Civil List had not been exceeded since
the last arrangement made by Parliament on the sub-
ject ; for provision had been made by the Act, that in
that event the amount, if exceeding £16,000,000, and
not to be liquidated by any other fund, should lee
stated to Parliament within thirty-one days. lithere
had been no excess, and if nothing had•been de-
manded, it was not consonant to the usage of Par-
liament at all times, and to the respect that was due
to the Crown, to call for a detailed account of the
expenditure of the Revenue granted by Parliament
for the support of his Majesty s Household. He ap-
pealed to the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite if that
I was not the uniform rule. Was it expedient to de-
part from that rule; merely to gratify the curiosity
of the Hon. Gentleman as to the quantity of wine,
or other detailed expenses in the Lord Steward's de-
partment? It appeared to him that no ground what-
ever had been laid for the motion.

Mr. TIERNEY allowed, that the usage of the
House was not to call for any detailed account of
the expenditure of the Civil List, unless an applica-
tioh was made by the Crown for assistance. But he
must say, that he thought the speech of the Honour-
able gentleman who had just sat down, most extra-
ortinary ; for he treated the question as if there was
a Civil List in existence, when the fact was, that the
Civil List was still to be provided. Parliament had
been called upon by the Crown to grant a Civil List
de novo, and what his Honourable Friend wanted
was such information as might enable the House to'
judge in what way to shape their grant. When the
Crown, in its communication at the commencement
of the Session, stated that it placed its interest in the
Hereditary Revenues at the disposal of Parliament,
and that it could have no wish that any addition
should be made to the settlement adopted by Parlia-
ment in the year 1816, was that House to conclude
that the settlement so adopted in 1816 was a proper
settlement at the present time, without being in pos-
session of any of the intervening occurrences by
which the question might be affected ? Parliament,
it was to be remembered, were about to be called on
to make a final arrangement en the subject of the
Civil List. That once done, it would be indecent,
as the Honourable Gentleman had argued, to inter-
fere with it, unless on an application for assistance; in
proportion to the cogency of the argument grounded
on the indelicacy of such an interference, was the ne-
cessity of caution on the part of the House not to
bind itself rashly, or without having previously ob-
tained the requisite information. He would take it
for granted, that there had been no excess of expen-
diture since the Act of 1816, as no account of such
excess had, in compliance with the provisions of the
Act, been laid on the table. But this did not lessen
the necessity for information. He would allow that
it did not appear that Parliament had voted too little
for the Civil List—but they•might have voted too
much. If that had been the, case, what had become
of the surplus? If, for instance, in the Lord Stew-
ard's department, there had been any unappropri-
ated sum, what had been done with it? He did not
mean to hint that anything of the sort had hap-
pened; but it was right the House should know the
facts, when a permanent arrangement was about to
be concluded.

Mr. Hosictssox and the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CHEQUER severally explained.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, it seemed to be the
intention of his Majesty's Ministers, at the com-
mencement of a new reign, to take as a model in the
arrangement of. the Civil List the arrangement mitde
five years ago, notwithstanding all the changes which
had since taken place, and without consenting to
any inquiry on the subject. That was certainly not
his view of the way in which the House of Com-
mons, at a time of such extreme pressure, ought to
perform its duty to the country. He did not know

whether the Honourable Gentleman's motion was
that which was hest calculated to obtain the desired
information (although it appeared to him to be a
very fair and proper one), but he was perfectly satise
Red that the House of Commons would not do its
' duty, if it consented to any proposition for the per-
manent establishment of a Civil List without any
further inquiry—(Hear, hear, hear).
Mr. HUME reminded the Gentlemen opposite of
the excesses of expenditure in 1784 and in Mt.-not
communicated to Parliament as the law prescribed.
'Would the Right Hon. Gentleman point out where
the required information from ISIS to 1820 could else-
' where be got ? It was nowhere to be got—(Heir).
The gallery was then cleared, and strangers were
excluded for some time, during which, however, no
division took place, but the discussion proceeded—
on their re-admission, they found
Lord MILTON declaring, that he very much
doubted if the present circumstances of the country
were such as to justify the establishment of a perma-
nent Civil List. In the present state of our currency,
it was impossible for any man to say what was the
real value of a pound sterling, or what alteration the
execution of the measures agreed to by Parliament
hut year, might cause in that value. He would,
therefore, almost say, that no permanent Civil 1 ist
Establishment ought at present to be formed ; but,
at least, the House ought maturely to consider can
what basis that establishment ought to be constructed.
It was half a century since the subject had been fun-
damentally L•aught under the consideration of the
I House ; for all the subsequent Acts with respect to it
were mere modifications of the arrangement, and were
not founded on any thorough consideration of it.—
Referring to Mr. Burke's celebrated speech, when
he moved his Economical Reform, he put it to the
House whether it might not be practicable to intro-
duce some of the. ameliorations then contemplated?
Was it not at the time of making a new bargain
with the Crown, that various anomalies (such, for
instance, as allowing the Chief Justices of Chester and
Wales to sit in that House contrary to all principle),
might advantageously be corrected? The present
was the period in which a minute inquiry ought to
be instituted, in order to sec if some alteration might
not be made, beneficial not merely as to the scale, bet
as to the classification of the Civil List expenditure.
But it appeared to be the determination of Ministers
to vote the Civil List as it was, without any investi-
gation whatever ; taking credit, indeed, for not in-
creasing it. A Right Hon. Gentleman had even
asserted that everybody expected it would be in.
creased ! It appeared to him to be most extracir.
dieaty on the part of Ministers to refuse all infor-
mation on the subject.
Mr. C. LONG (in explanation of a speech made
during the exclusion of strangers from the gallery)
denied having said that it was generally expected that
the Civil List would be increased.
After a few observations from Mr. Hums and Mr.
Hussissote, a division took place.—For the previous
question, 113—Against it, 60—Majority 53.
Mr. HUME proceeded to make his second motion.
He avowed, that his intention was, that the details
of the last year's expenditure should be laid on the
table, in order that the absurdity of many of the
items might be shewn. Was it not fitting that the
House, in the present distressed state of the country,
should have every information on the subject, when
among the items were such sums in the seventh class
as £1,372 to the Master of the Horse, which might
surely be retrenched ; £1,547 for the education of the
Persian youths, which was misplaced in being charged
on the Civil List; and others as deserving of remark'
He deeply regretted that the House of Commons, by
the decision to which they had just before come, had
expressed their determination to shut out all informa-
tion on the subject of the Oivil List; not even admit-
ting that which was by no means novel in its nature,
but simply an extension from 1615 to 1820, of the
information in the possession of Parliament before
that period. He could do no more than make the
propositions which he deemed necessary; it was for
the House to deal with them as they thought proper.
He would now move,

" That there be laid before the House a Return of the Amount
of all Payments under the head of Civil List Contingencies,
not forming a part of the ordinary charges of the Civil List for
each year, from sth January, 1815, to the Stb January, 1820;
u also, an Estimate of all utstanding Demands; and of all
Sums which had been granted by Parliament fur the discharge
of the cams."

The CH A NCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved
the previous question, which was carried without a
division.

Mr. lIUME then moved for an abstract Account,
shewing the amount in totals, under each head, issued
in each year, from the sth January, 1815, to the sth
January, 1820, from tl►e Exchequer, out of the Con-
solidated Fund, or of Money specifically granted by
Parliament for allowances to several branches of the
Royal Family, to the Judges, and for all services
formerly paid out of the Civil List Revenue, but
from which the Civil List had, at various times, been
relieved. The Honourable Gentleman observed, that
the object of this motion was to put the House in pos-
session of the gross Amount of the Sums formerly
paid out of the Civil List Revenue, as granted to his
late Majesty in 1760, but now derived from other
quarters, to the amount of 1.:600,000.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved
the previous question, which was carried without a
division.

Mr. HUME said he would not go on with the re-
maining motions of a similar nature which he held
in his hand, although he must again state, that the
accessible accounts on the subject took weeks and
months to understand, although a single hour's la-
bour on the part of the Clerks would obviatt that in-
convenience. The motion which he was now about
to make, however, was of a different nature. It was
surely most important, when the House were called
upon to vote a Civil Revenue to his Majesty for the
support of the Royal Household, that they should
know what sums his Majesty bad at his disposal,
over and above all Parliamentary grants. The
amount of the reserved Hereditary Revenue of the
Crown in Scotland, taken on the average of the last
three or four years, amounted to Et 10,004!. He was
anxious to have this account continued in the same
manner as the others, from the 2d February, 1816,
Xo the 2d February, 1820. Over and above the sums
voted by Parliament, the whole of the reserved Here-
ditary Revenues of the Crown amounted to 000,00 ).
—lf the account, as it respected Scotland, were v)-
duced, it would stew that the tllO,OOO was chieiy

Mr. Alderman WOOD gave notice last night, in
the House of Commons, that on Tuesday next he
m,.,ns to move for leave to reter to a Secret Com-
mittee the depositions made against Edwards, the
Sp-, with the view of obtaining a further examina-
tinn thereof ; bit, if we are rightly informed, Edwards
is now beyond the reach of justice, having profited of
the ample leisure given him to leave the country.
Two Petitions, relating to a subject of great
importance, were presented last night ; or.e by Lord
AIILTOI4, the other by Mr. STUART WORTLEN, from
the Woollen Manufacturers, praying for the repeal
of the Act imposing a duty on Fureign Wool. Lord
Alivrow stated a fact, which goes far to confirm all
that we predicted when this Act was under the dis-
cussion of the House. His Lordship mentioned, that
a great Manufacturer lately lost an extensive contract
offered by the Russian Government, for the clothing
of a part of the Russian army. Put this, and similar
losses to the Nation, in one scale, and the supposed
benefit resulting to the Landholder and the Revenue in
the other, and which will preponderate? The losses
are positive—the benefits, imaginary; for the profits
would have come from abroad, and been spent at home.
W have shewn, in a late Paper, that in the course
of the last two years, the woollen manufacture of,
Yorkshire has declined from a fifth to a fourth part
c,l its entire amount—a depression wholly unprece-
tlunted. A considerable part of this extraordinary
ailing off must doubtless be ascribed to the increasi,ng
;alit:ace of our restrictive system in general. The
tax on wool has, hos% ever, been a much more
power.tul cause of this rapid decline, and consequently
c' the deep distress in which the woollen manufac-
tillers arc now involved. Besides preventing the ex-
portation of the produce which would have been ex-
chanted fur the wool, it is affirmed by Mr. &scum'',

and others vrho are- thoroughly acquainted with all
the practical details of the manufacture, that without
coarse foreign wools it will be impossible for the
English to prepare second cloths equally cheap and
good as the French and Belgians. Previous to the
imposition of this tatx, many foreign mercliaats, who
had been in the habit of ordering cloth from this
country, were beginning to resort in preference to
the French markets ; and it is certain that this pre-
ference is daily becoming more manifest.
But, notwithstanding the proofs which hare thus
been afforded of the ruinously destructive effects of
this tax, it is stated, that Ministers have declared
that they have no intention to propose its repeal or
' diminution I We feel little doubt, however, that they
will change this determination, and forbear sacri-
ficing a branch of industry which has hitherto fed
and clothed a million of our artisans, for the sake of
a tax which was only calculated to produce £300,000,
but which will never yield a tent 4 part of that sum.
The condition of the agricultural classes is very
little, if at all preferable to that of the Manufacturers.
At this moment there are above fifty Associations
formed in England for the purpose of preparing Peti-
tions to be presented to the new Parliament, with
the view of obtaining additional restrictions on the
importation of foreign produce; though it is certain,
that if the restrictions now in existence be not very
materially modified, the total ruin of our Manufac-
turers cannot be far distant. Excessive taxation and
shackled trade are the true sources of all our misfor-
tunes. And it is only by an effectual reduction of
the one, and a total abandonment of the other, that
we can have the least chance of escaping from the
abyss of poverty and misery into which we have been
precipitated..

We have received this morning New York Papers
to the 6th ti April.
- A very important communication has been made
from the President of the tibited States to Congress,
on the subject of Spanish relations. It now appears
that England, France, and Russia, have all zealonsly
recommended forbearance on the part of the United li
States, on the subject of the Floridas, while they
have, at the same time, actively interested them-
selves in this negociation in behalf of the United'
States. The President, in accordance with these
ishes, thus formally expressed, recommends a longer
forbearance. " But what is by far more gratifying
to us," say s the Nen; York Gazette, " than all the
approbation of the crowned heads, is the concluding
paragraph of the Presidential Message. Our Chief
Magistrate urges the present distracted state of the
Spanish monarchy as an argument why we should
not take forcible possession of the Floridas. This
is proud and manly patriotic language, worthy of a
high-minded American."

General Don FnaNctaco Vivas, the new Spanish
Ambassador, arrived at New York on the 6th ofl
April, in the James Munroe.
The following Resolution has been moved in the
House of Representatives :
•
Resolved—That the equivalent proposed to be given by Spain
to the United States, in the Treaty concluded between them on
the 22d of February, 1819, for that part of Lousiana lying Welt
of the Sabine, was kadequate; and that it would be expedient
to make a transfer thereof to any foreign Power, or to renew
the aforesaid Treaty."
PHILADELPHIA THE4TRE DESTROYED.

This splendid and costly edifide is now nothing but
a large pile of smoking ruins. Between seven and
eight o'clock on the morning of the 4th of April, it
was discovered to be on fire, and such was the rapid
progress of the flames, that all efforts to save the
building were ineffectual.

The Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday arrived
this forenoon. Their domestic news is unimportant,
but they contain some recent accounts from Spain,
which are not without interest:

" lIIADRID, APRIL ts.

" The King gives every day new guarantees to the
Constitutional pasty. He has issued a Decree ojclering
indemiity to the individuals who lost their places in
consequence of the Decree of the 4th May, 1814,
which prohibited obedience to the Constitution of the
Cortes, and suppressed the system which it had
established.

" Colonel Arco Arguero, Chief of the Etat-Major
of the Army of the Isle of Leon, and one of the prin-
cipal leaders of the revolt, made his entry into Ma.
drid on the 19th instant. His Majesty received him
with the most marked consideration. The inhabi-
tants of the streets through which he passed received
orders to decorate their houses, and the people rent
the air with their acclamations.

" His Majesty has revived a Decree of the Cortes,
of the 27th August, 1811, which prohibits the grant-
ing of all military rank which is not effective.
" The frigate Sabina, which is fitting out at Cadiz
to carry to the Trans-atlantic Provinces the Decree
for convoking the Cortes, and other papers relative
to the new Constitutional system, is, by his Majesty's
orders, to bear henceforth the name of Constitution.
" The naval contmauil at the Havannah has been
conferred on Chief of Squadron Ayalde, in place of
D. Augustin Figueroa.
"The Liberals of the coffee-house Lorenzini, con-
tinue their operations. The report that M. Pizarro
is to displace the present Ambassador at Vienna,
has been ill-received in the Club, and they have
decided that this employment ought not to be con-
ferred on him for several reasons, but principally
because he signed the Treaty of the Holy Alliance.
•s A long discussion has taken place in the Club

on the necessity of augmenting the number of the
Members of the Provisional Junta. It was decided
that a Committee should propose to the Society per-
sons who merit the pablic confidence, and that the list
should be sent to the King to have his confirmation.
"One of our Journals has the following :

We are assured, on the authority of letters from
Cadiz of the 14th, that the Battalions of Guides and
Loyalty (who acquired such infamous celebrity at,
Cadiz on the 10th of March), are now at Ayamente,
in a state of open insurrection.
I At the head of these troops is their Colonel, Ca-
pacete, who directs them. It is said also, that Don
Raphael Riego has set out with a division, in order
to disperse this assembla:,,e.!
" A postscript to a letter from Cadiz, of the 15th,
says, that Colonel Capacete had abandoned his troops
and fled into Poftugal; and that it was not appre-
hended there would be any difficulty in dissipating
this ephemeral insurrection."

THE KING'S COURT.

Yesterday, his MAJESTY held a Court at his PA-
lace, in Pall-Mall, principally for the purpose of re-
ceiving Addresses of Condolence on the demise of the
late KINO, and Congratulations on his present MA-
JESTY'S Accession to the Throne, from the Lieute-
nancy of the City of London, the body of the Dissent-
ing Ministers of the three denominations, and the
Society of Friends, commonly called Quakers ; and
all of them being the first Addresses since the litNlie.3
Accession, his MAJESTY received them on the Throne.

They all arrived at the Palace about three o'clock,
and were received with due honours, and every mark
of respect.
The Deputation from the Court of Lieutenancy of
the City of London were first received. The LORD
MAYOR read the Address, to which his MAJESTY re-
turned an appropriate answer. They were all most
graciously received, and had the honour to kiss his
MAJESTY'S hand.

The next Address received by the KIXG, upon si-
milar occasions, was from the three denominations
of Dissenting Ministers, which was the most nume-
rously attended from that body ever recollected. They
consi,ted of

The Rev. Messrs. Rees, Collyer, Waugh, Rippon, Winter,
Newman, Morgan, Charles Rees, &c. &c. &c.
Tile Address to the KINo was read by the Rev.
Dr. REES, to which his MAJESTY returned an appro-
priate answer. The Reverend Body were most gra-
ciously received, and had the honour to kiss his MA-
JESTY'S hand.

The Deputation from the Society of Friends, com-
monly called Quakers, was next introduced to pre-
sent their Address, which had been agreed upon at a
General Meeting, on the 6th of March last. The De.
putation consisted of
Thomas Howard, William Foster, John Fell, Josiah Messer,
Richard Phillips, John Celeby, Joseph Foster, John Eliot, Thos.
Howard, Jacob Hagen, Josiah Ford, and Samuel Gurney.
The Address was read by JOSEPH FOSTER, to which
the KING returned an appropriate answer. The De-
putation was most graciously received.
It is a remarkable circumstance that THOMAS
HOWARD, one of the above Deputation, was one of
the Deputation who . waited upon the late KING, in
the year 1760, with an Address upon his Accession
to the Throne.—His MAJESTY afterwards gave an
audience to Viscount Six:mount.

The Duchess of YORK, we regret to hear, was yes-
terday considered in a very dangerous state.
Yesterday, the Duke of YoRK left town for Oatlands.
The Duke and Duchess of GLOUCEST;R had a din-
ner party yesterday.
Tuesday evening, the Duke of GLOUCESTER ho-
noured the Earl and Countess of DERBY with his pre-
sence to a grand music party, at which there was a
very splendid assemblage.
The Duke of DEVONSHIRE. report says, is shortly
expected to lead to the Hymeneal Altar the beautiful
and accomplished daughter of a Noble Lord of high
rank in the British Peerage.
Tuesday evening, the Countess of DERBY resumed
her very scientific Concerts, in Grosvenor-squate.—
The Performers were of the first class. On this oc-
casion the suite of rooms displayed a more than usual
brilliancy. The visitants arrived between ten and
eleven o'clock, and departed about two.
The Countess of HaanwicßE's Rolf:, the first for
the last two years, was given at her Ladyship's spaci-
ous mansion, in St. James's-square, on Tuesday even-
ing. It was attended by immense numbers of the
leaders in high life, but it broke up at an unusual
early hour; mostly all the company had departed
soon after midnight.
