=the motion, bat wbatlad fallen from the Noble
called for a few remarks First, he must ob-
serve, that the present state of the Royal Navy was
such as to afford the utmost confidence to the Coun-
try, as to the number and state of preparation of
the ships now employed. As to the repairs the ships
bad received, they were such as to seeder their con-
dition superior now to what they were in any former
interval of peace. The extent to which they were
efficiently manned was also greater, as was also the
number of the vessels. All these paints be could
satisfactorily establish, should the Noble Earl bring
forward a motion upon the aubject.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL wished. only to say a
few words on this subject, as he was well acquainted
with the great exertions cf his Noble Friend, who
had been most anxious that a minute inquiry should
be made into the state of the Navy. He (Lord Li-
sterpool) had accordingly instituted an inquiry, end
he could declare that the Peace Establishment of the
Navy' was never found.in a more efficient state. The
Revenue had been improved by the arrangement for
employing the army in the way to which the Noble
Lord had alluded. The more the subject was inves-
tigated, the greater, he was confident, would be
found the advantages derived from it.
The Earl of DARNLEY explained, that he had
chiefly referred to the reduction of Guard-ships; he
preferred the maintaining of ships of war to the em-
ployment of cavalry.
The motion was put and carried.

WINDSOR ILIITAZLISHMENT.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL rose, in eursuance of
the Order of the. Day, to move the second reading
of the Bill for regulating the Windsor Establishment.
In doing this, though he felt that he had no occa-
sion to trespass lons on their LortiThlps patience, yet
he considered it his duty to state the grounds on
which the arrangement embodied in the Bill was
proposed. Theirl..Ordships had already passed a Bill
for giving the custody of •his Majesty's person to an
individu4 the most proper that could be chosen to
be invested with that important duty ; and they had
now received, from another place, the present Bill,
which contained the necessary regulations for the
establishment connected with the trust which their
Lordships had previously sanctioned. By looking at
the details of the Bill, their Lordships would end
that a very considerable reduction was made in the
expense of the Windsor Establishment. The saving
in that Establishment amounted to V441;000. and the
sum which had been granted to her Majesty was
£53,030. From these reductions fell to be deducted
the sum of £13,000, the amount of the allowances
proposed to be granted to persons for whom it *as
usual to provide, so that the total saving was £90,000.
'Having had the honour of holding a situation in his
Majesty's Councils, at the time w e' the Lstablish-
meat was formed, he could gate what considerations.
had prepondesiatid iw she minds of thrw• Who meow,.
mended it,. Their Lordships would recollect, that
when the proceeding which had led to that arrange-
ment was first brought forward, his Majesty's indis-
position had lasted but our month. It was true, that
in 1812 the Physicians did not expect that his Ma-
jesty would recover ; but that was an opinion which
could not be positively given; and it was not possible
for their Lordships to legislate on such a view of tie
subject. At the same time, after an interval of eight
years, it must be acknowledged, that the opinion of
non-recovery acquired a greater degree of probabi•
lity. 'The arrangement which Parliament thought I
proper to adopt was, however, made with reference I
Ito the Queen, as well as to the situation of the King.
Had it been resolved to reduce the Establishment for
the King to the narrowest possible limits, their Lord-
ships would still have been bound to consider the
claim of her Majesty to her dower. The settlement
made when her Majesty came to this country was,
that she should have £lOO.OOO a-year on the demise
of the King. If, Therefore, it had been possible for
their Lordships so far to have forgotten what was
due to decorum and the dignity of the Crown, in
the provision made for his Majesty, they could upon
no principle of justice.have refused to grant the
Queen her dower. Their Lordships had, however,
acted on a different and juster view : they had con-
sidered, that notwithstanding, the great calamity
with which the King was afflicted, her. Majesty
was still in the situation of Queen Consort.,
On that principle the arrangetnent had been formed,
and now looking back to what had been done, he
did not think that. the allowance was larger than
what was called for by the circumstances ‘the case.
14 instead of forming the establieurient of Windsor, I
their Lordships had thought fit to give her Majesty
the dower which, in that alternative, would have
been her due, the saving would not have avt&er.teil
to £lO,OOO a• year. This subject had been very nii-
nutely investigated in another place ; ruld however
much difference of opinion there might have been as
to the propriety of reductiOU at former .perickii, it
