claim in the present instance, with those of any case We are ignorant whuther these ails tp be followed by
that then occurred. He then moved, that it is the
opinion of this Committee that a sum not exceeding any others,
47000 a year be granted to his Majesty, out of the
Consolidated Fund, to enable him to make.provision
for the establishment of the Duke of Brunswick as
long as the occupation of his territories by the tcrench
troops, precluded him from returned to the possession
of his dominions.
Lord MILTON did not rise to oppose the motion,
hut to question the propriety of drawing the sum de-
manded from the source alluded to. The enormous
increase of taxes be believed to be the real cause of the
present popular irritation, and it behoved Ministers
to look out for supply from some other source than
the burdens of the people, The Droits of Admiralty
would be amply and well calculated to contribute to
the exigencies of the personage in question.
Mr. H. MARTIN was exactly of the same opi-
nion with the Noble Lord who spoke last ;—and
though he did not mean to oppose the motion, he
tleoulht the provision should be made from the Droits
of Admiralty, and not from the pockets of the people.
Captain PARKER expressed himself in favour of
the motion. It would, he said, be a dreadful thing
to see a Prince begging in the streets, and much more
repugnant to the feelings of the people of this coun-
try, than the payment of the sum required.
Mr. I. H. BROWN thought that in the present
high commercial prosperity of this country, the House
ought not to hesitate at granting the sum required by
the motion. When it was considered how nearly allied
the illustrious personage in question was to his Majesty,
and that he had a large family to support as well as
himself, he hoped there would be no objection to the
motion, which had his hearty concurrence and sup-
Port.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT repeated, that there was
no disposition to refuse that personage the provision
proposed; but he thought it a matter of no little im-
portance to ascertain whether that provision might
not be made without adding to the burthens of the
Lpeople ; as to the claim of large family, so patheti-
cally put forth by the Hon. Gentleman, that plea, he
suspected, would not turn out to be well founded, or
if it did, it must shock the piety of that Hon. Gentle-
man to be told, that the Duke of Brunswick never had
been married (a laugh), at least such was the rumour.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
thought that the Hon. Baronet might have learned a
sufficient lesson from the proceedings of last night,
that would have restrained him from making a charge
upon a mere rumour. The Duke of Brunswick had
DO wife, because he had had the misfortune to have
lost her, and was left with two children to heighten,
and, at the same time, to console his misfortunes.
. Sir JOHN NEWPORT di .claimed any intention
Id throwing out an imputation agains: ti:e Noble
'Duke, but he would assure the Right Hon. Gentle-
man that no lesson of the kind alluded to, should de-
ter him from prosecuting any public malversation
whatever. He could detest it—He admitted that in
the case of last night a candid defence had been made
our, and he was not ashamed of such admission.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUEP
stated, that the Droits of the Admiralty was a fund
of that sort that could not support a permanent charge
for an annual grant.
After a few words more between Mr. H. MARTIN,
Sir THOM‘s TvRTON, and Mr. CROKER, the Rcsolti-
Lion Was agroad to nem. con. The House then re-
sumed, and die Report was ordered to be received on
Monday.

VIENNA, MARCH it.

By the Trieste Mail, which arrived to-day, intelli.
gence has been received that on the frontiers of Dal-
matia and Bosnia disturbances have taken place, in
consequence of which much blood has been spilt ; it'
is however hoped that they soon will be quelled.
From Orsowa, Estafettes have been received, with
intelligence that the Russians have made themselves
masters of the Isle of Ostrava, in the Danube, and
thrown bridges from thence to both banks of the
River ; they have also formed a junction with the
Servians, near Palama. All communications with

Turkey is therefore again intercepted.

considerable changes have lately taken place in
our navy. The Captain Pacha and eeveralOfficers
have been dismissed : the former is succeeded in the
command of the fleet, by Jaillet Pacha, Lieutenant
of the Grand Vizier ; the third day after his appoint
ment the new Admiral went to Bujalcdure to inspect
the division which is to guard the mouth of the Bos-
phorus.

According to the last accounts from Ruzekiuk, it
would seem that the Russians mean to retreat them_
selves, to fortify their position on the right bank of
the Danube. We understand that more than forty-
eight ships, with flour, have arrived off the Darda.
nelles, bound to the capital.
