7- • COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. • 91 E.I 4 ZA_TTo! On the motion of Lord C A sriea EACH. the House resolved itself into a Committee of Supply. for the purpose .of ,c9osidering the Comm. vention between the Prince Regent and the Soverettn of the Nether. lands. The expences to be incurred by this country arose, he said, from three causes ; first, the cession of Guadeloupe to Sweden ; se• condly, the expence of the fortifications in the Netherlands ; and, thirdly, the Russian loan in that country. He moved cite Resolution only, that provision be made out of the Consolidated Fund to grant 196,0001. to his Majesty, &c. to enable him to make good his engage, silent with the Emperor of Rusria. Mr. TILRNCY admitted that these. arrangements might be all very proper; but he wished. to ask, " Why is Engjand to pay for them ?" Holland, he thought, would have been satisfied if the Colonies had been given up in exchange for the . Netherlands. The House, if they calculated, would find that they vivre binding the country for 93 years for the payment of the debt. But then it was said, that they would make Holland fall in love with us—watt, that was true.—But if every one who had plundered us was to fall in love with us, we shotild have more friends than relations -- Mr. Baultes, Sir 1 Newport, and Mr. Baring, likewise reprobated the grant; on a division, the 'no tion was canted by 104 against 19.—Adjoutted. TUESDAY, JUDIR 13. The Pauper's Removal Bill was opposed by Sir M. W. Ridley anti others, and rejected. Mr. GRENFELL, after repeating the statements he had advanced on 'a previous evening, to shew that the Batik at present derived very ex orbitant profits from its various transactions with Government, and •that therefore some new arrarg ment ought to he entered to do the• public justice, moved a string of resolutions pledging the House to take the subj.ct into early consideration. The CHANCELLOR of the Excurouxa, on account of the import. • ance of the que• tion, moved the debate be adjourned till this day sett night, ‘, hien was carried. Mr. WrisaaPOß es brought forward a motion respecting . the s,tave Trade.—The Hon. Gentleman said the Acts for its abolitioo were evaded in various ways, and contended, that Slaves were still imp o rted Into the British Colonies ; that it was so. he was very strongly con firmed, b) the well-known fact. that Slaves had not been in crease d i n value since the Abolition Act was passed. 114 moved for leave to bring in a Bill, by which eveoy slave in the British Colonies should be registered, the ref/liter sent to this country, and any fraud commit led on this regulation be subjetted to severe punialudeut.--Leave given.—Adjourned. WEDNESDAY, JVNE 14. LORD. ROSE) EDRY'S DIVORCE. The House having resolved itself into a Committee on the Earl of osberry's Divorce Bill, the facts of Sir H. Mildrnay's Crim Con with Lady Roseberry, and the damages of 15,0031. awarded by the Jury, were proved at the Bar ; Mr. Topping and Ur. Joi.es acting as Counsel. On the Clauses of the Bill being read. Mr. M. A . TAYLOR objected to that which granted an annual al lowance of 3001. to Lady ltoseberry, he not being of opinion, with the late Lord Thurlow, that every adultress ought to be turned naked into the streets. Such a sum was not sufficient. He wished her to be so circumstanced, that she might have the means of repenting, if so inclined, instead of exposing her, from want, to a continuation of . a degrading connection. With this feeling, he should propose that the sum besool. (Hear') As to the elatise interdicting the parties, Sir H. Mildmay and Lady Roseberry, from intermarrying, he trusted that it would be negatived. Such a proceeding was contrary to wise legislation. It was not a worse case than many of those which unfor tunately had come before Parliament, where no such had been intro. duceci. But is was said to be against the Canon Law to marry " rue Wirt or A SI STER (a laugh), or rather to marry the sister of a former wife; he, however, could not see the wisdom of that law, any more than the justice of those Canons which were every day violated on the subject of marriages. Sir W. (;ARROW trusted that the first proposition to increase Lady Roseberry's means of subsistence from S to 5001. would he ac quiesced in ; but he was decidedly in favour of the clause to interdict the parties from hereaftcr intermarrying— (Hear ) Without such interdiction not only friendship, but evert affinity, would not be any protection against the inroads of such men as Sir H. Mildmay. He 'bad not the least hesitation in pronouncing this to be the most atro cious case that had ever come before Parliament, (hear hear) and that the character of the House was involved in the question agitated by the Hon. Member not to interdict the parties from marrying—(hear). Without such a clause they would do what would most lamentably loosen the bands of moral feeling, domestic comfort, and domestic seem ity in this country. Mr. Locectiaar and Mr. WYNNt supported the clause; the latter wished the intercourse which had taken place to be pronounced " in eestuous," as wl3 done in Campbell's Divorce Bill. T Rixlß~E' ItTNH Mr W. SMITH tru• led that no such expiet-ion eoulht he intro. diced, a lthough he approved the clause preventing the parties Irony, intermarryit:g. Two divisions afterwards took place, The fir t was on tin- clause to nrcvent the parties from intermarrying.—For it I.ll—A &mist it, 20,—Majority for the clause, nt. The ecotui division was on Mr. Taylor's amendment, to make the annual allowance tioJl.—For it, 66—Against it, 39, Majority for the amendment, :e7. THE BIJDGET. The Order of the Day being read in the usual form, the CHNN• CPL Loa of the Eke titou ER said, in proposing to the House the means of supply I r carrying on the war iu which we had embaiked, on the most extensive scale, no one could be more deeply impressed with a cons deration of the fatal necessity of calling upon the count ry to sup. ;lon so large an expenditure. A /rely short period had elapsed since '.he House was engaged in reducing our expenses to a peace esta. bishment ; but, unfortunately for the repose and happiness of Europe, which had suffered so much from the mination ot 'Fran, e, the wax had scarcely become cold on the treaty of Pada, when the renewal or the war was considered ind.spensably hei.e.sary by all the confederated powers. In the short interval of peace, ths country, had bees enabled to make some r.duction in her expences, hot consi.lerable arm's of the toriner war remained undischarged. The expenses of the last campaign had not then been wholly defrayed, and the war with Ame rica had scarcely closed, when this new situation of ;off. irs arose. tin. der these CircuMstances , with a l a rg e arre a r o f f o rmer expenditure, and having also to provide for the means t carrying on a new war, ji was not to be wonderer! at, that tne sum winch the exigencies o f the state required for the present year greatly exceeded all formet periods. He could not, however, but congratulate the Hcnise on thi extent of the resources, and the fortitude of the public spirit of the country ; for, large as our expcnces would unavoidably be, he tilt eon: vinced that our means were able to meet them, and that the people would cheerfully submit to much larger burthens, in order to secure the repose of the world. Confiding .inth se sentiments, he should proceed to give such explanations to the House as would enable theta to judge of the real situation of our filances. The Right Hon. Gentleman then made the following statement of the SUPPLIES. 1814 X 18,783,509 Navy . 14,897.1263 Transports • . 3,746,915 .18,E44,20. r Army - . . 13.786,759 I Extraordinaries (1814) . 11,P88,436 33,671305 sl Ditto Barracks - "15) - 12,000,000 , • F.n,t 00 I Commissariat . . 1,01 1 9,931 LStorekeeper General . 91,6J0 -- 39,150,764 3.955,651 Ordnance - . . . . 4,431.6(3 Foreign payments, inctuding Bills Of Credit 9,000,000 3,900,090 Vide of Credit - ..
