MAY 30. the liltl passed, it would not conciliate or satisfy the Catholics-- tolerdtion was not the object of the framers of the Bill; what they wanted to give the Catholics was political ascendancy. In his opi nion, if the Buil became a law, it would effect a change in the po liiiedl system of the State, such as Would shake the whole fabric of the Vate.ti tutiou. He concluded with moving—" That the words of thz. tir , t clause which admit Catholics to the two Houses of Par liament. be left out." Mr. WHITBREAD followed the Speaker, arguing in favour of the Bill ; as did likewise Sir J. Hippisley, Mr. Tighe, Lord Castle realth. Mr. Grattan, and Mr. Canning.

Mr. TIERNEY, in the name of Mr. Littleton, postponed the in tended motion of that Gentleman, on the mismanagement of the war with America, sine die, in consequence of his protracted indis position. Mr. VANRITTART cal!cd the attention of the House to the arrears of the Civil List. He stated the several instances in which the expenditure in each class had exceeded the estimates; and ac counted for it by the difference of circumstances, and by the in crease in prices of almost every thing in use, since the year 1804 to the present time. The arrears amounted, he said, to 203,2001. It would he much to the honour of the nation if the Civil List could be put on such a footing as to prevent the possibility of its getting into arrears ; but this could not be dune while charges of a contingent nature were laid upon it. These.he should submit should be got rid of; and, as one step towards it, he would suggest ti .e propriety of separating the charge of Foreign Ministers from the Civil List, and leaving it to Parliament to provide for that head of expence. He concluded by moving, that a Select Com mittee he appointed to examine into the charges and expenditure of the Civil List Establishment, and to report the same to the House. Mr. WITITBREAD enumerated the different sums which had been granted in support of the Civil List and the establishment of the. Prince Itegent‘and lamented that now his Royal Highness pos sessed an incon% much larger than his Majesty, or any other King . of this country ever had, the Civil List should get into arrear 203,2001 He thought that, previous to the House agreeing to a Committee, they should be informed whether the money voted to discharge his Royal Highness's debts had been properly applied ; and whether certain debts of honour due to foreigners had been paid off. He thought, likewise, that the House should be in formed of the amount of those debts, and when they were likely to be paid. that the 541001. now specially appropriated to that pur pose might in titture be appropriated to the Civil List. His Royal Highness possessed an income of 150,0001. over which Parlianient 41 had no controul ; this KM might, in some hands, be so applied as to obtain an influence in the House of Commons,_ by the purchase of boroughs, and other arts, as would give to the Crown a power it would be impossible for the Commons to withstand ; and might, at some future period, endanger the Constitution and Liberties of the People.—Mr. Whitbread then adverted to the sitnation of the Princess of %Vales, who had an income of 17,0001. per annum, a sum which he thought a very low and inadequate allowance, not at all tit for her state and necessities ; and he put it to Ministers, whe ther it ought not to be increased at this.moment, when //very Leees sary of l ife was increased nearly dont& what they were 18 years ago, when the present income was settled on the Princess. Since last April, there had been issued no less their t 60,0001. out of tote Droits of Admiralty, for the Use of the Royal Family. The state of the Civil List was sufficient to alarm every body ; lie therefore moved, as an amendment, that instead of a :Select Committee, it. should be a Committer of the whole House. Lord CasTIA. 'macre replied to Mr. Whitbread, and lamented that he should have seized this opportunity of throwing out reflec , tions against the Prince Regent, which were unjust and untbunded. As to the Princess of Wales ; She had much more than the sum men • tioned ; and it must be recollected (tat the Prince had discharged debts contracted by her to the amount of 50,0001. ' Mr. Whitbread's amendment was then negatived without a divi. sion ; and the original motion was carried ) and a Committee or• tiered to be appointed. Mr. Tierney, Mr. Hurst, Mr. Bankes, Mr. Barham, and Mr. Ponsonby, considered the appointment of a Committee, without full powers, as useless, and a mockery on the public ; and for that reason Mr. Tierney, Mr. Whitbread; and Mr. Ponsonby, declined serving in it. The Committee being at length nominated, Lord MILTON moved, that the Committee should have power to send for persons and pa pers. . On this question the House divided—For the motion, 29; against it, 108—Majority, .79.—Adjourned. FRIDAY, MAY 28.

He stated, that it wit, his intention to have the Bill pass through but one stage, and then be printed, and that the second reading of it should take plane next Session.
