Peyote to the service of the State (and he now up-
for a law to sanction it) the sum of £9,000
IT. He hoped tlse-House would receive with
,arable distinction this sacrifice of individual in-
terest to the public good--(Hear, hear!)
Lord CASTLEREAGH seconded the motion for

bqed are country would duly appreciate ,this
ndid sacrifice of private right, in giving up nine
isand a year to the public service—(hear, //car .)
Ir. 11ERNEY was extremely happy that this
bad given rise to discussion, because the coon-
seemed to take this splendid sacrifice to the public
a mere matter of course. The Marquis Cam-
bad given up his private property for the good
iis country ; and he regretted that the House did
. mark its sense of gratitude on so splendid an hag
stance of public feeling. • He hoped some one would
,),e that this great act should be catered on the

:urnAls—(hoar.)
The Earl of CARHAMPTON contended that
these grants of the State were redeemable.
Mr. TIERNEY said, they were private property
long as the holders of them conducted themselves
roperly in their offices.
Mr. BANKS sa;d, that as long as the holders of
patent offices did not abuse their trusts, their

instance of splendid munificence had been
before the House ; and he hoped that the
would be commemorated in the preamble to the
as an example to others ; and also that the same
mid be noticed in the Journals.
Mr. WILBERFORCE was desirous of expressing
high sense of the sacrifice the Noble Lord had
made. In this act there was something indicative of
great and generous mind. It should be recollected,
that Lord Camden had none of those overwhelming
forme; from which such a sacrifice might naturally
,etpected. But he would leave his son more splen-
didly endowed by the memory of the transaction,
than by any'fortuae whatever.
Mr. LONG said, the Noble Marquis made this
sacrifice most cheerfully, and of his own free will ;
and not with reference to any taunts which may have
beers thrown out against him..-
Leave was then given to bring in the Bill.
Mr. BANKS gave notice, that on the second read-
sg of the Bill he would move a. Resolution comme-
morative of this splendid action. ,
Mr. FORBES highly. praised this act, but said
:at there had been many instances of sacrifices during
the war.

!nil of the oventswhich have lately taken place in

of the Treaty, We had placed !doormen instead of
natives, in pla?es of trust, which occasioned the
insurrection of the .natives against us. • He .wanted to
know whether the Minister of Candy, Ellapola, was
executed by the sentence of a Court Martial, or by a
Court of Justice ? He then moved for the Procla-
rt:`atitut which was issued in Candy, in 1815, and the
seat), which was concluded at the same time. •
