d a passage fsons the 'monody on the death
iairick, ending with the lines,
" Go, and on real misery bestow
" The best effusions of fictitious woe
He would entreat Gentlemen to bear in mind what
would be the effect, in doe case of a private indivi: ,e
dual, of breaking down a whole establishment ; and
by what each might be supposed to feel in such a case
to judge what would be the feelings of his Majesty
With respect to what had fallen from his Right Ho-
nonrable Friend, as to the clause being unintelligible,
he should only say, that 26 his Right Hon. Friend
had admitted, that he deduced something substantive
from its affirmations and negations, he had saved him
much trouble. On the whole he should observe, that
the exceptions pointed out what was not to be given
to the Queen, that the clause was perfectly intelligi-
ble; and, as it had nothing unconstitutional in it,
should' be supported by him against the amendment
of the Right Hon. Gentleman.
Mr, TIERNEY did not mean to trespass at any
lcngt upon the time of the House ; but after the ex-
traordinary speech which they had just heard, he felt
it necessary to say a few words. The whole of the
Right Hon. Gentleman's speech consisted of an ap-
peal to the passions—an appeal quite unnecessary in
that House. The Right Hon. Gentleman need not
have quoted the lines of his Right Hon. Friend, or
adverted to the magic pen of Shakespeare ; all that
it was necessary for him to say was, that a beloved
Sovereign was labouring under this heavy calamity
to interest the feelings of every man present ; all that
he had said beyond that was intended to draw the
House from the question. He hadiexpected that the'
Right Honourable Gentleman would have shewn
that the Bill had not departed from the Resolutions--
that the Prince of Wales, if the Bill should pass, would
know what part of the Household was to be under his
centroul. But in this the Right Honourable Gentle.
man had complftely failed. If ever any man had
contrived by_dexterons shifting to evade a question,
the Right Hon. Gentleman had done so. But in all
that applied really to the subject under discussion,
the Right Hon. Gentleman had been completely ah-
swered by his Hon. and Learned Friend (Sir S. Roe
milly). The Resolution stated that only such p.
tion of the Household as should be necessary for
the personal comfort of his Majesty, should be given
to the Queen. It was impossible that the Prince,
after receiving such a Resolution, could suppose that
the Home should be discussing what part of the
Household would be necessary for the maintenance of
the splendour and comfort of the King. On thatground
there could be no question, every Gentleman would be
ready to vote whatever portion of it her Majesty might
think necessary. The Right Hon. Gentleman had
said, that he had endeavoured to colleceerhat might
be the sentiments of others upon this point. If se,
he failed altogether. The Noble Lord (Castle-
reach) was to nekative the clause, and the Right
Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Canning) proposed onlY
to retain the two or three first lines. So that in
fact, whilst pretending to meet the wishes of others,
the Right Hon. Gentleman had contrived to carry
into effect only his own. He would admit, that in
abridging the influence of the Queen, the Right Hon.
Gentleman had removed a considerable part of the
dejection, supposing, what he could never bring him-
self even to suspect, the Queen to be capable of employ.
ing her power to procure political influence. But what
was all this to the Regent ? Not to the Regent him.
self, but as exercising in the name and on behalf of his
Majesty the Royal Functions ? Was he to be deputed
to execute the office of King stripped of its state and
splendour ? But, said the Right Hon. Gentleman, the
Regent will have a chamberlain. Yes, a chamberlain di.
vested of his powers and patronage,a ',man of Straw,"
having no more power or influence than the white wand
in his hand. Then, again, the Right Hon. Gentleman
said, no Lord Chamberlain is to -be appointed. Why
not ? why was all this done? Was there a man in that
House that did not feel and know, that it was done for
political purposes. The Lord Chamberlain had enor-
mous patronage ; by the statement of his Right Ho-
nourable Friend, he could appoint to several offices
connected with that House, which were not likely to ,
become vacant, but there might be an office in the
other House at his disposal. Did the Right Honour-1
able Gentleman think he was consulting the feelings
of the King, now that Lord Dartmouth, who was
personally agreeable to him, was removed by death,
to give to the Vice-Chamberlain all the patronage of
that office, a patronage which the King would never
have thought of bestowing upon him. He could not
persuade himself that the thing was done for any other
than a political purpose. He could not believe that
her Majesty would enter into conversation with any
of her Council upon such a subject. But then her
Council was composed of'politicians, and was it not
likely that the Vice•Chamberlainewould consult Lord
Eldon, or some other of tha C.oirucil, as to the dis.
posal of his patronage ? The whole was a scheme
of political power, as had been well =pressed by a
Right Hon. Gentleman opposite (MreCanning) cal-
culated to set the Executive Power at war with his
Palace. The Right Hon. Gentleman had been rather
Severe upon his Right Honourable Friend, for endea,
vouring to render his amendment palatable to the '
House,_and for having with that vie*changed it a
little. But did the Right Honourable Gentleman
veer 'do any such thing ? or was he to have.a mono-
poly of the privilege of altering a proposition to mike
it more acceptable to the House..-were they not to
grow wiser by experience, or to acquire knowledge
as they grew older ? for that would be the effect of
his objection. But the Right Honourable Gentle.
man asked what a situation would the Queen be placed
in if she were to be obliged to choose her portion of
the Household ? For himself he should say, That he
would not vote for any proposition, it it were to im.
pose any-disagreeable office on her Majesty. All
that was asked by the amendmennt was, that six Lord;
of the Bedchamber should be enough. In another
clause of the Bill, 41000 per month was to be
placed at her Majesty's disposal, to be distributedip
the same manner as she might suppose his Majear
would have dune. It might as well be said, that this
was to impose upon her Majesty the
of selection. He could not believe
advisers of his Royal Highness we
itiin to remove any of the servants
But, after all, lac did not think she

withlnany House with respect to the
feeling of surge& Government; otherwise if they ,
stuck fast,there be nogeing on afters change. The
pa trenage of the Lord Chamberlain, Lord Steward, and
Master of the Horse, was a part of the Executive in-
fluence. If it be taken from the Regent, the question
was, whether he would represent the King ? Without
this patronage, the monarchical would be overborne
by the democratical part of our Constitution. If the
Right Honourable Gentleman was not actuated by
distrust for the Prince, why not provide for him in
the same manner as for the Queen ? But it had been
argued by the Right Honourable Gentleman, that
his Majesty on waking might turn his thoughts to his
former habits, and on finding that his Master of the
Buckhounds had been removed, be in danger of a
relapse. lithe Right Honourable Gentleman should
think of restoring his Majesty to his office under such
circumstances, he would be guilty ef a crime. He should
do all in his power to seothe-his cares and render his pil-
low comfortable, bu t he must not, from a respect for such
feelings, forego his public duty. If his Majesty should
have a certificate properly given ofhisrecovery from the
physicians, the only feelings he would be sensible of
would be those for the welfare of his subjects, and
would be consistent with the whole tenonr of 'Ms life.
If they were to appoint a substitute for the Mouarclk,
he ought to have the trappings of royalty. Uport
the whole he should call upon the House not to try
an experiment by refusing confidence to a Prince of
Wales to whom their allegiance would soon be due.
If they should do "so, when George IV. should make
a Peer, it might be said, we knew him before arid did
not trust him ; and it is our own fault that we did
not tie him up when we had him in our power. They
had to appoint a mpresentativeof the King,and should
not be biassed by any political view whatever.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
explained.
The gallery was then cleared. The House then
divided, For the amendment 190—Against it '212--
Majority for Ministers 22.
Before stranger.. were re.admitted into the gallery.
a Report was brought in from the Secret Committee
appointed to enquire into the expenditure of the Privy
Purse. In consequence of the Report, it became ne-
cessary to introduce some new clauses into the Bill,
which was re-committed for that purpose.
On our re-admission to the gallery,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
was introducing his first clause, which was to direct
the Lord High Treasurer to issue certain aunts for
the payment of the Officers of the Household; which
clause was agreed to without a division.
The second required the Lord Keeper of the Privy
Parse to take an oath every year betore one of the,
Barons of the Folchequer, that no part of the said an-
nual sum of 460,000 should be applied in any pay-
ments to any Member of that Fjouse. This clause
was also agreed to. The Bill, so amended, was then
reported to the House.
Mr. WHITBREAD moved, that instead of the
words U assisting his Majesty," should be inserted
the words, " providing for the exercise of the Royal
Authority." He thought it was absurd to speak of
assisting his Majesty in the Government at the present
time.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, that the Bill went throughout on the idea of as-
sisting his Majesty in the Government, which was to
be carried on in his name. He therefore could not
agree to the amendment.
The proposed amendment was then negatived.
Mr. WHITBREAD then proposed as an amend-
ment, that before the words " resumption of the Royal
authority," the word " eventual" should be inserted.,
This amendment was also negatived. „, 1
Mr. WHITBREAD also moved, that the wold
" mental" shouldbeinserted before the word "health,"
which was also negatived.
Lord CASTLEREAGH then proposed a clause.
The object of it being to vest in the Regent the ap-
pointment of the Household and Officers necessary ,
the state and dignity of the Otfice, the same as en-1
joyed by the Monarch. The clause was negatived. •
Mr. CANNING then moved a similar clause to
the one proposed on Thursday, which was also ne-
gatived.
Tboi whigligof the Amendments having been gone
it *as ordered that the bill be read a third
how (this day) if then engrossed. The
RAMGene o'clock this morning adjourned.

Direct accounts have at length been received from

stating, in strong language, that no coercion should

—After Mine consideration, an answer was return-
' ed, with a full assurance that their services to
France should be dispensed with; but, at the same
time, they were required to embark on board of Danish
ships at Copenhagen ; whither many of the seamen
were about to- repair. There is, therefore, we fear,
st reason to suspect, that treachery may supply
thremptce of force, in giving effect to 4orimurierres in-
