THE EARL OF WELLLEGTO.N.
The Message of his Royal Highness the Prince Rey
gent having been read by the Lord Chancellor, and
also by the Reading Clerk at the, table,
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, in calling their
Lordships' attention to his Royal Highness the
Prince Regent's most gracious Message, it must be
present to their minds, that the conferring the title
alluded to was the firct act of the unrestrained pre-
roytive of the Crown vested in the Prince Regent;
an he was convinced, that no act could have given
more universal satisfaction, in whatever point of view
it was considered. To the military services it would
be a test of the disposition of the Prince Regent, to
confer rewards where those rewards were earned by
meritorious acts; and it would operate as an addi-

tional stimulus to those services when they saw that
their exertions would meet with those rewards to

which they looted up with satisfaction. All clases
of the public also, he was convinced, must content.
plate with satisfaction the honour conferred upon the
Noble Lord alluded to; an honour which was most
justly earned, and where the conduct of the indivi-
dual teceixing it, reflected splendour upon the fol
flour conferred. ft was not now his intention to en-
ter into the services performed by the Nobfe Lord
alluded to. Having had several opportunities of
mentiousug those services, to dilate upon them now
Would only be taking up their Lordships' time unite-
(.eerily. He thought it right, however, to state,
that the honour bad been conferred without the
knowledge of the Noble Lord to whom it was grant-
ed, and without any communication with him upon
the subject. It was due also to the Noble Lord to
date, that when, after the successes of the last cam-
rpaign itePortugal; the Prince Regent of Portugal
conferred upon him the highest title in his power to
grant, with a considerable pension, this was at the
time when Portugal was left in a state, by the deso-
lation of the enemy, that forcibly appealed to the ge.
nerosity of the Parliament of this country, to give
the inhabitants the means of enjoying even their do-
mestic comforts, and of replacing to them those arti-
cles which were essential to their means of subsistence.
Lord Wellington felt that not only this situation of the
Country, but also the exigencies of its military ser-
vice, called for the employment of all the resources
of Portugal, and declined to avail himself of the pen-
sion granted to him. It was due likewise to the No-
ble Lord to state, that Although appointed to the
rank of Captain-General, he had refused to accept
of the pay attached to that rank. Having stated
these circumstances, it was but justice to the Noble
Lord to mention, that he held a charge such as was
scarcely ever before, or he believed never entrusted
to a British subject, and that the heavy expences he
was obliged to bear were such that scarcely any one
who did not know the particulars could conceive
their amount. It was, therefore, but justice to the
Noble Lord, who had only the fortune of a private
gentleman, or what he had hardly earned by his pro-
fessional exertions, to enable him to meet those ex-
pences which he was unavoidably compelled to incur.
lie had avoided saying any thing that could tend to
produce any difference of opinion ; and, he thought,
that with reference to the merits and services of the
Noble Lord alluded to, there could be none, nor did
he imagine that any one could doubt, that the honour
conferred had been justly earned, in which case the
proposed grant of an annuity followed as a necessary
corollary for the due support of that honour. llis
Lordship coueluded by moving an Address, declaring
the readiness of the House to concur in making good
the proposed annuity.
Earl GROSVENOR said he did not rise to oppose
the motion, but to suggest that the grant ought to be
extended to enable Lord Wellington and his poste-
rity to support the title conferred, and that his pos-
terity might not, by tie want of means to support
the title, become dependent upon the Crown. He
instanced the case of the Duke of Marlborough, in
which a large estate had been granted to support the
honour conferred ; and that of Lord Nelson, in
Which a sum of money had been granted for the lour.
chase of an estate, for a similar purpose. Con-
trasted with these was the case of the late Earl of
("Wham, to support whose title a provision had
bead granted, which had failed to Ms posterity. ILL
this view of the subject, therefore, he thOught that
50, or 100,0001. ought to be granted to Lord .Wel-
lington, in addition to the 20001. a-year, or that in-
stead of WOOL 60001 or at least 40001. a-year
ought to begranted. He was afraid that he could
not now make any motion to the effect he had men-
tioned, but when the Bill came before the Hensel
the opportunity would be afforded. He could not,
however, sutler au expression in the Address to pass
without notice, in which it was stated that the series
of exploits in the Peninsula had been eminently be-
neficial to the interests of the country. Whilst he
acknowledged. the high merits of Lord Vi.rellingtou,
and the Army be commanded, be could nut agree to
