TO MOTHERS AND NURSES.
AMONG the innumerable instances of the ear.
prising cures performed by the AMERICAN SOOTHING
SYRUP, the following case Is deserving the attention of every
family " A fine fat infant of J. Palmer, Thatcher, of Friar-place,
Acton, Middlesex, only six months old, began to cut its double
teeth; but the mouth became ulcerated to such a degree as to
prevent its sucking; this was attended with strong convulsions,
and in a short time reducedche child to a mere skeleton; the mo-
ther was even afraid to move it, for fear, the limbs should not
hold together. • A nursery-maid in the neighbourhood, seeing the
dreadful situation of the child, gave the mother a small quantity
of the Syrup, and in one hour after the gums were rubbed, the
infant was better, and could actually take the breast. The father
immediately got a bottle, and in two or three days, six double
teeth came through, to the astonishment of all the neighbour-
hood. Anothei iiitant was going in a similar way, but, upon
plieation of the Syrup, was restored, and they are now both as
fine children as ever was seen. This will be fully corroborated
by the parents, and many of the most respectable inhabitants of
the place."

civil. LIST.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL moved the third read.
ing of the Civil List Bill.
Earl GROSVENOR thought the House ought to
proceed no farther with this 13i11 at present, seeing
that they had no information upon the subject to
guide them, and that the only way of laying a pro.
per foundation for any measure was to appoint a
Select Committee with power to send for persons,
papers, and records, in order to examine into all the
details of the Civil List. He was satisfied, that by
a Select Committee of their Lordships such an in.
quirt' would be carried on with all the delicacy due
to the subject. The inquiry, however, appeared to
him absolutely necessary—without it the Bill was a
delusion upon the public. So much delusion was
there indeed in this measure, that he could prove, by
the accounts on the table, that the expenditure of the
I Civil List, bad i: not been for the exonerations,
would have at this moment amounted to £1,6J0,000,
double the amount of the Civil List granted at the
I commencement of the present reiga. Yet this state.
ment was carefully kept out of sight by those who
brought ie and supported this Bill, whn brought for-
ward a statement of much less amount—a circum-
stance which distinctly proved the necessity for
inquiry, in order that the Home might be fully
aware of the real state of the case. His Lordship
entered into some details of the public expenditure,
and deprecated the Droits of Admiralty and the
Droits of the Crown being at the disposal of the
Government in the manner now practised. It would
surely be a touch better course, and it was due To
justice to the public, that these resources should be
appropriated to the public service, and a sum granted
to the Crown by way of compensation for them.—
Adverting to what had been said on a former occa.
sion with regard to the Civil expenditure of the
United States of America, he maintained that the
inference drawn from it was altogether erroneous,
the amount of the Civil List here being double that
of the Civil expenditure of the United States. It was
a duty incumbent on their Lordships jealously to
watch this expenditure, particularly at this period
of public distress, in order that no burthen might
fall on the public that was not absolutely necessary.
To all that was essential to the proper splendour and
dignity of the Crown he was disposed cheerfully to
agree, but it was their bounden duty to prevent all
lavish and wasteful expenditure. To the creation of
the new offices of Auditor by this Bill he decidedly
objected, as altogether unnecessary. He had ex-
pected that the Lord • Chamberlain and the Lord
Steward, who were, de facto, independent of Mini.
stets, and who he believed were so de jure, would
have attended in their places, and poured forth their
indignant eloquence against this interference with
their departments. They had not, however, thought
proper to attend, but he thought that this new Officer
must be altogether useless, he would not be allowed
to enter the offices of the chief departments of the
Household to make any inquiries, and•he would soon
be induced to retire, not altogether perhaps in disgust,
as he would be probably allowed to retain his salary.
Utility there could be none in such an office which
could not be executed i but if such an .office was
thought requisite, surely it might be executed by one
of the junior Lords of the Treasury, without burden.
ing the country with any additional expense. He
had .now to advert to what he considered two serious
charges against the Noble Easl at the head of the

~"

Treasury. The, first 'related to the expenditure re-
ining to Foreign Embassies-. and particularly re-
garding a Right Honourable Gentleman recently
appointed to. the Board of Controul. This Office
bad remained so long vacant, that he began to hope
it would be abolished. It appeared that the, Right
Honourable Gentleman alleded to had been at length
appointed to it; how this Right Honourable Gentle-
man. who at a former !retied had declared the Noble
Lord at the head of the Treasury to be incompetent
to the duties of his office, who had declared incapable.
the Sieretary of Slate for the Foreign Department ;
and by whom the Noble Viscount at the head of the
Honie Department had not only been declared in-
competent, but had been (if he mielit use such an
expression) terribly quizzed. How these PerlitiCiane
could now all act harmoniously together he was at a
loss to understand. It was true, however, that the
Right Honourable Gent:ernan who now consented to
dovetail the Administration might net wish to join
the Opposition, who had not!,ing to give, and this
might operate upon hill es it had operated upon
others, who had cvaitted the froz 'n regions of Oporn.
sition, to bask in the sunshine of Royal favour. The
charge that he had to make arose out of the appoint-
ment of this Right Honourable Gentleman to the
Enrbassy to the Court of Portugal with an enormous
salary, and which the Right Honourable Gentleman,
it appeared, in a speech to his Constituents at Liver-
pool, stated, was not sought by him, but thrust upon
him ; and who ((other stated, that since last April
he had only waited' the appointment of a successor,
but that no successor for a considerable time arrived.
He (Lord Grosvenor) charged therefore the Noble
Earl at the head of the Treasury with a waste of the
public money, and making and continuing such an
appointment, though he must have known that there
• was no probability of the return of the Court of Por-
tugal to Lisbon. His other charge was, that the
Noble Earl had diverted 00,000 of the Public
Money to the private use of the Prince Regent. It
appeared, by a Paper on the Table, that 870,000
oui of the Droits of the Crown—(Hear. hear, from
Lord Liverirool)—Did the Noble Earl Mean to say
that the Druits were the priteete property of the
Crown, to be disposed of at the caprice of the Crown,
or that th 4 ought not to be appropriated, like, other
F üblic monies. to the public service ? His charge, how-
ever, was, that R 70,000 of this money had been devoted
to the private use of the Pt ince Regent to pay for fur-
niture and other articles at the Pavilion at Brighton.
Ht)W the Noble Earl would answer these charges he
was at a loss to anticipate, he considered them mist
improper appropriations of the public money. His
L rdship, with a view to move for a Committee of
',Noir}, moved to leave out the word now, for the
the al reading of the Bill, and insert this day fortnight.
The Fearl of 11A R ROWI3Y sew nogruupds what-
ever to oppose the appointment oh the Auditor. He
argued at some Isaigth the disadvantageous state of
the Cor:1 L;at prior to the proposed arrangement.
Lord HOLLAND was of opinion that his Noble
Friend had the justest grounds for the motion he had
submitted to their Lottlships. The subject was in-
deed worthy o: the must serious attention, especially
considering the declaration Ministers had given at
the beginning of the Session. in the speech from t e
throne, vie. that economy should be attended to. If,
therefore, economy was as seriously the object of
Ministers as this declaration evinced, it became their
Lou elship. to inquire in what manner it could be
practised ? No man was a greater friend than him-
self to measures of economy, but at the same time,
he wished those meastues to be conducted in a
manner advantageous to all parties. Much had been
said respecting the office of the third Secretary of
State, and he was afraid the views which his friends
and himself entertained on this subject had been
greatly misrepresented. He decidedly thought that
was an (Ace which should be suppressed, and he
founded his opinion on what had been stated by Mr.
Boar. &sides, the duties of that office had in
1796 been discharged by the President of the Board
of Controul, which latter office was novelto be filled
by a late Ambassador front Lisbon. He did not
mean to say this office was a mere sinecure, but err-
taiali the reconciliation recently effected between two
tiiends had been at. the expense of the public. With
respect to the new office, he certainly agreed-in the
rfter..l opinion, that it was surely the best thing a
man could do to have Iris accounts audited at once,
arid thus to prevent perpetual jarrings. This ap-
pointment, no doubt, was during pleasure ; yet he
certainly concurred in the general idea of some check
being necessary. Ott thi, ground he could not object
to the principle of the appointment. Respecting the I
ddlereot comparisons made with the Civil Lists of
America and France; he did not wish to go to either
extreme. • li.e would, however, refer to America,
parti.tdarly con,iderirg, as he did, the estimates of
the Secretary of State in that country to be in gene-
ral very correct. let the whole expense of the Ame-
rican Civil List, taking the calculation at four dollars
in the pound, di.! not eteonnt to much above ',100,000
The diplomatic part of the Government of America
amounted only to £41,000, whereas the Embassy of
Lord Castlereagh alone cost /MOM malting An
increase of £2,(X)O even in this single department.
Yet even with that increase, he certainly thought the
ieterests of America were the better promoted of the
two, i fact which no man who was acquainted with
the situation of America could, deny. The indivi-
dual expense of the Chief Magistrate of America
. (though Ire did not mean to adduce this as a model)
amounted only to 2E7;000 annually, whereas the ex-
penses of our Royal Family cost £790,000 a year.
His Lordship at very great length entered into dif-
ferent items of the expenditure of the Civil List, and
concluded by suggesting. the impropriety of so many
sinecures being allowed to exist in the country.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL was glad to observe,
that whatever differences of opinion might exist, not
one objection had been offered to the general princi-
ple of the Bill. As tar as he understood the Noble
B lion who had AA c t down, he thought he objected
to.sheoffice of Auditor, as not likely to accomplish
the purposes for which it was intended. At the same
time he was happy to observe the Noble Baron was
not hostile to the plan he (Lord Liverpool) meant to
accomplish, by this Bill. He would not now go over
die grounds he had formerly gone over in support of
the Bill, but he considered it certainly a subject of
vast importance to the public. In reply to the charge
booslit against him respecting the appointment of a
night Honourable Mead of his to the Embassy at

Lishon, he ced to usegreitteir Lordships, that at
the period vorthat lippoistmekt the most. 'rational
hopes were intertairied'of the Pace Regent of Por-
tugal then iiiiirning to his kingdom, and a vessel
had actually Wien *ordered by his Royal Highnest lot
that purpose. Besides, the appointment of this Am-
bits:War, was expected to be beneficial to both coun-
tries, and it had solely been undertaken on that view.
With respect to the Crown Droits, which Jr jute be-
longed to the Crown, his Lordship argued, that it
was absolutely requisite to giant the Crown the un-
controlled authority of disposing of these. The cir-
cumstances in which the illustrious personage now
exercising the functions of Government in this coun-
try were, as his Lordship argued, no better than it
was actually necessary they should W. With respect
to the office of the Auditor, it was clear that such an

office was absolutely called for. Nu man could doubt
the necessity of accounts being properly audited.—
The object of this new appointment was to inform
the 'treasury of the exact amount of the expenditure,
and by a rigid examination into the different parts of
that expenditure, to become a check on extravagance.
It was an indisputable fact, that a man's affairs pros-
pered in proportion to the vigilance he eget cised over
them, and when once negligence was allowed to
exist there was an end of all hope of prosperity. It
was justly said, that no mall was ever ruined who
knew carefully what he expended. His Lordship
then entered at some length into a comparison of the
Civil List of this country with that of France prior
to the Revolution; and with the Civil List of Ame-
rica, which he argued bore no comparison to ones.
As this country was a monarchical government, he
maintained it was an essential feature of monarchy
to preserve its splendour. Besides, our Royal Fa-
mily being numerous, a large expense was conse-
quently created to the country. He would not enter
on the subject of Sinecures, though he considered
the abolition of these as likely to create an additional
expense to the country. He would not say more at
present, as he was glad to see no objections offered to
the Bill.
Lord GROSVENOR contended, that. neither of
the Noble Lords opposite had saitl a single word
which ought to induce their Lordships to negative
the proposition he had made, for inquiry in a Com-
mittee. .0u the contrary, all their arguments rather
tended to suppott the which he had submitted.
With respect to the personal expenditure of the So.
vereign, he denied that any thing he said could be
construed into disrespect, in comparing it with the
expenditure of the Presiden.. of the United States.—
What he chiefly depr,cated was, comparing the Civil
List of this country with that of the despotic Sore-
-1 reigns of Europe. The Noble Eall had gone into a
variety of topics in his spr:ecii, but he had wholly ab-
stained from answering the serious part of the charge
brought against them respecting the appointment to
the Court of Lisbon. lie sh .ukl regret the refusal
of a Committee, because ite thought it was the only
I way in which the provi..iols of the present Bill could
be rendered effective, by such previous enquiry is a
Cemari ace wocid afford.

The :notion was then put and negatived without a
division; atter which the Bill was read a third time
and passed.
The recommitment of the Irish Landlords' and
Tenants' bill was postponed till next Thursday, after
a few observations from the Earl of LIMEUICK and
Lord HoLLAND.—Adjourned.
