from convelistion, and now it appeated that the.
Lords volunteered their metiers withoot say pay-
ment. Rot why were not Lords as rips for genero-
sity in 1814, as they wringst present, or whence the
change of disposition ? In 1814, the Ross; Esta-
blishment was divided, a certain nomber of Bedcham-
ber Lords being appointed for the Regent, wblle
others were to mired at Windsor. It was contended
on his side of the House, that the same Lords might
attend at both places altentately, and the, s main of
elleinelt 'sold she place. Bet now fear Lords were
.dull to attend eaclesleely at Windsor. and their
places at Csrlton.hoese were filled up by four adhe-
rents of the Governmeet. He could not help soy-
Mg. that the Bed-chamber Lords appointed in 1814,
to attend at Windsor were rather hardly dealt with;
for they were to be the only sufferers by the Noble
Lard% arrangement. They who were the oldest
servants of the King, were In be deprived of
their salaries. Much had bees said of a regard for
the feelings of the King ; bet was it consistent
with that regard Thos to act rewards his Ms.
Pereenal favneritel ? He was persuaded
'kat Were his Majesty competent In compre-
hend this arrangement, nothing would be more
likely to mortify his wishes, than to have
his oldest servants and favourites dies illiberally
treated. But how was this treatment to be regarded
by say faked to justice, when the recent cootlect
of Ministers was cotlered Since the Queen's
death a vacancy had occorred among the Lord* oftl
the Berl-chamber attending the Prince Regent. 8"
instead of eppointiog one of the old Lords, to ,
whom ha had alluded, to fill that vacancy. the
appointment was granted to a Dew adherent of
6tb. Miuirter. Was this proceeding fair or ?
—rlleatr. hear!)—Now as to the pecuniary parts
of the iiO4 arrangement, he should say fist respect-
ieg the 1 J.OOOl. a year proposed to be granted to the
eke of York, as the keeper of the King's sacred
wises, that if his Royal Niemen were called upon
to ismer any additional espeoce in censer:pence
of this appointment, such 'apace ought to be de.
frayed by the Public. Bat before he would con.
sent to gine the public money, he most first know
for what perms. When 10,0001. • year was
granted to the Queen, the ground urged for the grant
was, that her Majesty would to consequence of her
new appointment, be ander the necessity of incurring
(additional espenre for travelling. This ground did
not satisfy his mind as to the propriety of the grant,
bat yet it was voted. If the same grant were shown
to be weoewary for the Dike of York, he should be
ready to secede to it, thinking his Royal Highness,
as he did, the Attest person that could be selected to
superintend the care of his kilter's person. He was
also reedy to grant say sum that might be actually
requisite for the accommodation and comfort of the

King. Nay, any thing necessary to present him a
pleasing spectacle, if he could see, el to indite, any I
of the caprices that might Wiese to his situation, or
to afford him the slightest gratification, he (Mr. T.)
wield most clieerfolly grant to his beloved Sovereign,
if the 'space amounted to 300,0001. a year.—

that principle. With regard to the austeent of
the proposed Windsor Establisluneet the Noble
Lord talked of 100,0001. of 108,000 i. and of
113,0001. indeed, the Noble Lord had so wrapped j
op and involved his statement that it was rather diffi-
cult distinctly to define his object. Bet as far as be ;
could conceive, the Noble Lord proposed that
50,0001. a year should be voted for the accommoda.
itints of his Majesty. Now how • Sovereign, who
was precluded from company and conversation, who
was enable to see, could require such a sem as would
suffice to maintain any iodivitinal in the country is I
the utmost splendour, was, to his mind, utterly Ind
comprehensible. But the Noble Lord bad eat stated
for what purpose this large greet was repaired. A
ICommittee Wei to be appointed to enquire into the
graveds of the proposition. Bat for that Committee
he did not thank the Noble Lord. No, the 'hooks
open this occasion were doe to the Gummi Election.
It was to the meaner is which the Returning Officers
were occupied at the late Election, and to the returns
which they etre called upon le make, that the pro-
ceeding of the Noble Lord was to be sttribeted. How-
ever, Ministers dial not cease forward with the tone
of confidence which they were net long since in the
habit of assuming, and offer to take the responsibi.
lily of this measure upon tketeeelvee, without any
previous engeiry. Their tone was changed, bet their
dispositioe still remained. Forth.), proposed a scale of
expenditure, for which it was in his view quite im-
possible to imagine any jest necessity. If the Noble
Lord would show that such 'spasm was really metes.
eery, be would be among the first to secede to it.—
Who WWI they who were to reside et Windsor, aid
for whose accommodation such espences meld be re-
quired? Hit wets desired to provide only for the
personal comfort and accommodation of the King, a
compatatisely small sem indeed would be amply sof.
ficient. Was It meant that the Duke of York was
to reside at Windsor? If so, he shield know what
to say to that. Bet it was said that some one of
coosideretion should reside at Windsor, to ramie'
the Council who occasionally meet there to receive
reports as to the state of the King's health. The
Noble Lord had observed that some great Nobleman
should be stationed there for this purpose. Well,
be it so; and any additional ;salience that might be
simmer, for that purpose he would agree to' as such
attendance would be fitting the dignity of the King ;
for he would not have his Majesty on such occasions
wailed upon by a mere maitre d'hotel. He would
not indeed leave him wholly, on seek oceesions.even
to Colonel Stephenson, teach end justly as that incli-1
videal was respected. Bat In the name of common
sense, what occasion could there be for the attend-
ance of the sic Equerries whom the Noble
Lord had mentioned ? Yet a table, truly, was
to be provided for these Equerries. The whole
of the Noble Lord's plan seemed table work,
bet sot for the use of the King, for a few
hundreds a year would be quite sufficient for that
table, under his Majesty's melancholy affliction.—
How then, be 'would ask, could fifty thousand pounds
a year be deemed necessary ? This wet what he
wished to knew, and which he must know before be
acceded to the proposition. As to the assertion of
the Noble Lord, that the Privy Pane was the pri.
