!MINOR OF ORA\CE.

Mr. VANSI loved the Older of the Day
for the Houfe going into a Committee on the Bill for
Oranting a pr•vifion and annuity to the Houfe of
range.
Mr. Cat.cesrr role and Lid, that it was not his
with to gn into detail, but merely to throw out a
few fentintents he entertained upon this fubjed. He
was one of thofe who bad fitprnrted the late Treaty
of Amiens, becaufe he thong!tt it was the beR treaty
we could twat in the then satiation of the country.
In the ssth Article of that Treaty, there was a pro-
vi;ion relative to this very fubjeft, in which the King
of Spa:it, the French Republic, and this Country
were parties. It was there Ilipulated, that fume corn.
penfation thould he nude to that illuftrinus
for the part taken by it in the late war. He thought
at that time. th.tt fume exertions would have been
ufed by Government for the doe performance of that
article. He did not perceive from any of the Papers
that had been laid before the Houfe on the late Ne-
gotiation, that any mention whatever was made of
firbkit. He now found, that after the treat, had
been broken, the Houfe was called upon to make
provifion according to the laid article, without any
exertion having been Ibewn by Minillers to get that
article performed. He felt grateful for the Cervices
rendered to this Country by the illtifiriosis Hours la
and wood,' never think of oppoling any re-
muneration which Mould be found requifite for their •
comfort. He was alinnillsed,kowever, that no notice
hid been taken of this fobjed even at an earlier re.
tied lince the conclution of the Negotiation. He
toutA this tnedure had been introduced at a late pc.
raid of :be SCCGOJI, *when the Houle Was much re.
slUeed.. The rumsto be granted might not perhaps f
very high in tbe can of tome blembersd

owing to the enormous turns which they had been
aecuftomed to hear of ; but certainly it was the duty
of Parliament to confider every mode- of rendering
the burdens lighter upon the people of the country.
He could not think that this was the proper time for
laying on additional taxes, in order to make provi-
lion for the Heinle of Orange. in his opinion, the
full fenfe of Parliament ought to be tak-n upon the
fubjett. Notwithfiandiag the rupture of the Treaty
of Amiens, he was inclined to think that the con-
elution had been fortunate for this country, lot:lure
it had created that unanimous concurrence of the
people, in the canfe in which we are now engaged-
The CRANCELLOR of the EICHICty CR (aid, that it
MLA have been in the recolledion of every Member
in the Houle, that a dillinft notice was given of a
motion of this kind long before this meafure was
brought forward. The prefent moment was only
chofen on account of its being a matter of indifpenfi-
ble nectaity. At the time of the Negociation at Pa•
ris, there were various motives which precluded this
country from bringing forward this gnefiion ; and
after the rupture of the treaty, it could not be a mat-
ter of futprize that his Majefty's Miniflers did net
bring it forward former, feeing the multiplicity of.
bulinefs which had been brought before Parliament.
The Houfe of Orange had accepted the indemnities
offered by Germany. and had therefore in Come mea•
lure accepted a compenfation ; but his Maj.:ay and
his Servants were of opinion, that an additional claim
Rill citified. His Majelly si-as convinced that a due
fenfe of the obligation we owed to that illuttrious
Honk would operate upon the feeling and difpofitions
of his Parliament. This country had created an
obaacle in the way of concluding the article in the
Treaty, by not reftoring the (hips which had ken
taken in Holland. The value of there (hips was more
than equal to the Com now prr'pofeJ ao be given.--
As to the annuity, it was nit intended to be per-
petual, brit during his Majetly's pleafur e ; and it Well
therefore liable to be brought under the conlideration
of Parliament from time to time ; fo that the faith
of Parliament was not pledged. It was no doubt a
matter of regret, that the fuhjcft was brought for-
ward fo late in the Sefton ; but he ironed that the
Houle would be convinced of the neceffity of the de-
lay, which had been occafioned by the peculiar cir-
cumflances of the cafe.

Dr. Lev/stoics Paid he was lorry to hear the an-
fwer of the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer ; for if there was a claim of gratitude exiting,
it ought not to be left during the pleafure of Parlia-
ment. He taw no reafon why this matter had been
fo long deferred, for he remembered a motion having
been made on this very fubjee fo long ago as De-
cember let. He thought it appeared that Milliners
had never put the quoltion to France, relative to the
Itipulations of the Treaty refl:efling the Prince of
Orange. In his opinion, this matter was now not a
queftion of juliice, but of gratitude.
The Bill was then committed, the Honfe reruns-
ed. and the Report was ordered to be received to-
morrow.

The Stamp Duty Confolidation PIP was read a f.tood time, and
ordered to be cotomitted to a Committee of the whole HoWe to.

entertained for the peace and Lifety of Ireland, pro-
per meafures having been taken to fecure the leaders
of the mifguided inforgents.

As we forefaw and predi&ed, the patriotic example
held forth to the Public by the Cities of London and
Dublin has been eagerly Wowed. Every Levee is
now crowded with Addreires from various Cpunties
and Towne in. Great Britain and Ireland. Nor is this
fpirit the ebullition of• a momentary heat—it is the
refult of flow deliberation and calm. invefligation.—
Tl.c expreffions are not merely formal—they are the
warm diaates or the heart. They are not, like thofe
of our neighbours, hyperbolical and blafphemous ;
they are fincere and affeaionate—firm and loyal. The
variety obferved in them is a proof that they are ge-
nuine and voluntary. One remarkable circumllance
ought not to be overlooked : they are become more
numerous, in proportion as the preffure of taxes is
become more heavy. The public (pink, like the
quicktilverin the Barometer, which rifts by the weight
of the atmolphere, teems to acquire new force by the
public burdens.
The plan which we early recommended has been
adopted, and is purfuing by Government with an
alacrity fuited to our fituation. Certatur foto cerpore
Repti. This general armament has been called in
Parliament conspeefiry. This we flatly deny. In the
letters which we receive from every part of the king
don, we have Peen a &fire univerfally expreifed by
the people of being called to arms. The nation only
waited for the word of command. Government have
only embodiei the public wifhes. This phalanx of
the mats of the people will form a mum abeam:, an
iron wall, impenetrable to the molt determined attack
of the (laves of BONAPARTE, inflamed by the delu•
five hope of islander.
