NEIMPITAtIY MiffMAW Or TUB CZOWX.

Mr. 1111011111 AM said it would he in the recollection
of the Manse, that early in the Session of 0412. he
moved for a return of the amount and application of the
stitferent monies received by ti:e Cron n :Odell were not
under the immediate rontroul of Parliament. This was
at all times a *natter of great importance in our
regulations, bnt it was more particularly so at
period like the present, when new arrangements for the
**piton of the lloyal dignity were about to lie entered
into. The funds to whit:, he alluded were important,
as they involved a considerable variety of influence and
management. When he insole the motion to which he
alluded, hr was answered, that arrangement:. baying
bees' 'mole by Parliament fur supporting the Civil list,
it would be improper to enter into such on inctuir, as it
would he a breads of the terms agreed upon. Thu it teas
admitted at the sa:nr time that smelt an ottiniry might
he made on the eletuite of the l'emen. He felt the ran
force of this olijeedon, and therefore the lineation 11.214
not since agitated e!tlier by histsself or hiss friend. Hot
now hr cone:nye!! the period was arrived when such a
motion ought to be made. Those funds had, he under-
stood, arisen to such an important amount that they
aright to be settled sin a perniatunt and commit:Wow'
loading. Indeed Mr. Perreval himself admitted, that
Parliament had always :: right to inquire from time to
time into the amount and application of those hands.
Ile altssald therefore more that an humble Address be
oresented to his Majesty. praying that there be laid be-
fore the Moose an recount of the different monies arising
to the Crown from the Vroits of the Crown, the
of the Admiralty, the 44 per cent. West India Holies,
from errt.aiu Scotch Revenues, and also all other monies
not here included.

The CHANCRi.LOR ofthe EXCIIFQI'ER observe.%
that he did not rise for the purpose of opposing the too-
:ion. It Wan trite, that the regulations mask respecting
1 the ( List of his late Alajesty prevented any such in-
quiry slotting his reign, and that no such obstacle existed
at present. He wished at the same time to state. that
no motion fur an irritant of the amount and application
..f these revennes had ever been refused by Mi niso•rs.—
jilear!)-111. e.-as awatr that the object of Cie tnution
lens to bring under one view suet,.( disjoined aeront.t.,
but he conceived that it would he more cxpeiheot to
have the snlojert deferred until the meeting of the ors.
Parliament. 1k repeated, that he did not meats to
pose the motion.
Mr. 11140111i1AM said, his Olivet was to tare is
mark time as possible, when the downssion of the u,.
I,7st should lw brought ftwsrard. Their respect fur the
Crown made it imperatively necessary that the poni.iuu
retptisite to support the Royal dignity should be de-
I aye,' as little as possible. This motion, if tarried,
w mid brifitior the arrangements for that porno e.
The mo,• ou was pit', and carried neanintously.
