MALT DI TIES IA SCOTLANI).—Lord Aittl.
HAIMILI c 0,4 wiehed to know from the Hight Hon. the

TIIE HOUSE.—Mr. W. Wvsx ruse to wove, that the
abort-hand writer, who attended the 4'ommittee on the
Oranthatu election in the morning, should be ordered
to attend the I louse with the minutes of evidence taken
before the Committee.
This person tieing called in, stated, that a witness
of the name of William Charles, who had been sent
down with the Speaker's warrant to serve upon Sir
William Manners, of linektninster, near Grantham, to
attend as a witness h, fury the Committee, found the
dour shot against him, and that hr conic, not obtain
admittance. The withess had also warrants to serve
upon upon Mr. Hugh Manners, the son, and two other
servants, who were also denied to him, though he
declared what his purpose was. When he had witk-
drawn,
Sir K. lIEGON moved, that the said Sir William
Manners, being guilty of a ctostempt of the !looms
should be eon:us:tied to the custody of the Serjean4
at Arms.
Mr. TICNNT,i(rN proposed an amendment, that ho
should be ordered to attend the liar of the Mouse on
Monday next.
Dr. Putt.uxons: and Mr. W. WrNst looked upon the
conduct of Sir W. Manners as a high contempt of the
authority of Parliament, and thought an example
should be made of hiui.—(llear
After some words from Mr. F. PALIIE t in its sup-
port, the motion tilts agreed to without a division.
Sir K. IlanoN then moved, that Richard Armstrong
Jervis, &servant of Sir W. Manners, should also be com-
mitted, for resisting the service of the Speaker's warrant.
Lord NUGENT thought that smite distinction should
be made between the cases of the master and servant,
for the latter was manifestly aetiog under the orders
of the forme..
Dr. PHILLIIIORE and Sir J. 31.icittnvoitn, hoviever,
thought this was so Migrant and wilful a e.dtteuipt of
' the authority of the lionse, that all the parties to it
should be visited with severe pinishinent.

The question was then put upon the mot:on, andl
carried.

A like motion wig wade by Sir It. Ilcaos, in the
ease of Mr. Manners, Inn.

Aglow of his being aware of the importance of the
warrant, the dignity of the !loose would be vindicated

Mr. Tess veils joined in the slime sentiments.
After a few words from Mr. 11.?ss, Mr. (4.1:1.1i11tN,
and Dr.
Sir Itootatur Ilettox consented to withdraw his mo-
tion as agaitist.Mr. IVilliatit Manner,.
A motion was then made, and carried, that Mr. Man-
ners shisuW attend the House on Monday next.
Sir Itortuar !leans next muted, that William Atter,
another servant, for the like contempt, should be corn-
witted to the custody of the Serjeunt.
, Mr. Taxsvaos suggested, that as there was no evi-
ilerve of this person having been seen by the wituesa
I 'limiest his guilt was hut trivial.
WY NN contended, that there was proof enough to
show that he was aware of the import of the warrant.

SUPI'LY.-111S LATE M.‘,/E•TY'S
The (loose having resolved its,•lf into a Committee of
the whole Iliallse.
Lord l'asrtaec.icit—ln rising to submit certain re-
solutions with respect to the provision for his late Ms-'
ja sty's cats, he was discharged from the tkitty of eun
teriteg into the subject at any great length, as lie hail tos
la former night submitted a general slew of the nature
of Isis proposition to the House. The !louse would re-
collect that, upon the demise of her late Majesty, an ex-
proditure to the gross amount of Is9,oolti. had been
suppresses,. A sum of INOCOL, however, as a provision
for her Majesty's servants, granted by Parliament, re-
duced the amount of that saving to 162,411111/. The
Oa List was, at that 'period, under the discretion of
the House. Against the saving, bowev..r. there was a
set-off of 24.001 t/. which was to he proposed ao a pe„,•;.
shin for the servants of hit late Majesty. The liesolii-
'ions which he (Lord U.) hail now to sothinit to the
Muse related to four classes of indt% hitt its; he pro-
posed that a sum of 9,100/. should he granted to those
of the first class—consisting of servants who had been
in the 'mice of his late Majesty at rhr time of his de.
wise. The next was a sum .1,103/. for the second
class, consisting of those servants who had belonged to
the Windsor Esta6lishinent ; but who, lieu ing been re-
moved from their sitnations by the relmtion of that es-
tablishment about a year ago, were since provided for
out of-the Privy Purse of his late Maje-ty. These two
sums together amounted toJ3 or 1.1,0011/. Of the next
two sums, amounting together to about Plow., a sum
of 14,01101. was intended for a class of servants irlso had
been placed upon the Privy Purse at the perFonal favour
of his late Majesty before his illness, anal it consisted,
for the most part, of old domestics, whosii.character was
judged by his Majesty to be worthy of his liberal atten-
tion. The neat sum was a small slim to he granted to
those servants who, without any of the claims of the in-
dividuals composing the other classes, for whom allow-
, slices were to he provided, had still some claim nn the
lilwralitv of the Mose. It was proposed, therefore, to
grant diem a snot espial to their anneal salary respec-
tively. The amount of the provision then for the two
latter classes was between J and 10,6000., iihirh, being
adilea to that for the two former ones, moth& together a
sum of •24,0110/.—ife then moved, that a nom not ex-
ceeding 1111,503/. be granted to his 3lajesty, to defray
the expenses of providing for a certain class of his late
Majestv's•eervants.
Mr. ILI:CUSS did not object to the irrinciple on which
the vote was founded; but be was of opinion, that the
extent of the provision was excessive in the resent cir-
cumstances of the country. He wished that the propo-
sitions should be postponed for farther consideration,
and subjected to the scrutiny of a Committee.—(Hear!)
Mr. Ikon contended that the precedent of the case of
her Majesty's servants, which the ?iohle Lord had said
guided Ministers iu the arrangements on the present
occasion, had been materially departed front, and that
in the present ease, it was proposed to provide for seve-
ral persons who bad served but one, two, or three years.
He begged that some delay would be given for the pur-
pose of greater vonsideration.
Mr. W. Stare approved of the principle of the 'in-
nings-meet as proposed by. the NobieLor.t. lie took
occasion to notice the pension of 400/. which lied been

Milli. a•year, which laid been granted to die late Mr.
%West, was stopped on his demise without :,ny notice
whatever.—(lfear!)—lle (Mr„. S.) could state from per-
sonal knowledge, that the suspension of this jinni had
been productive of serious inconvenience to the family
of that great artist, and, in a public point of view, cart+
rise to the apprehension that these allowances, instead
of bring the tribute to genius and merit, were too often
the remit of mere favour.

The f•IIANCELLOK of the Exalts:nue' said, that here-
linen• it hail been the practice for the new Sovereign to
take the servants of the late King into his employment
on the demise of the Cron n, but his present Majesty
having bail lois establishment formed before he asytnnte:t
the Throne, conld not, neon that occasion, hare male
an o.lllitillell to it by including the servants of his Royal
rather. The Bight Muni. Gentleman then urged tins
meriterions serviecs of the persons in attendance
his late 3lajesty, particularly the Pages of the
Stairs, as a reason why their claims ought to be taken
into the cansideration of Parliament. The liberality id'
the llonse could not, in any instance, he better applied.
With repect to the pension of Mr. {Vest. that Gentle-
man had never been a regular pensioner under the
'roam he had filled a particular. office under the Lord
Chamberlain, for which be received a certain salary to
day of his !leads. fir understood that 11r. West re-
ceived' his salary from his hating had the care of the
Kitty's &tares.
Mr. WILLIAMS wished to know why there had been a
departure fruin the principle of I'l7, when there was a
deduction %done-fifth usade from the allowance made to
t!ic Royal servants?
3lr. fluistisans said, tbat a compensation had been
made in lieu of that deduction. As to Mr. West, lie t
bad the care of the King's pictures, for which he rcee's-
cil 31111.1. a y-ear during his life. It was hut due to Ctis
menuiry of his late Majesty to state, that lie evinced C.o.
most earliest disposition to encourage the fine arts, and
he paid to Mr. West, to his (Mr. linskisson's)
le Ige, 1,1410 f. a Year for a considerable time. I inle-d,
the whole sum given to bine in proof of his lute Majesty s
regard fur the fine arts, was not less than 4110101.
