Earl Grey —Then he mult
have been mifinfonned as to nuu
point, but he wished to know
whether any proceeding had ta
ken place with refptkd to Mr.
Bnrr, and wheherany dilhcul
tie had ! the cou i'e ot pro
ceedings. ariffen on the'qudlton
to which he had adverted ?
Lord Sir!mouth dated that Mr.
Bnrr hid dome to this country,
and pa fled under a feigned name,
that he thanged ids name and
palled under another feigned
panic , that government con
ceiving that lie might have had
fotne improper object in view#
apprehended him under the ali
en aft, but that no-difficulty in
the case had aril'en. Govern,
irient wete convinced he had no
improper object in -v. Ile
demandedpafports for America,
which were granted. He was
not lent out ot the country un
der the alien a& and no difficul
ty occured.
y Lord JMW.—Was there ritt
question whether he was an ali
en or not ?
Lord Sidmoutb.— l did not fay
that there was no such question,
but there was no difficulty.
Earl Grey, could not conceive
how it was pofuble that when
Burr was apprehended under the
alien act no difficulty should have
occurred. Even on the nobie
vifeount’s own statement diffi
culties must hav * occurred ; at
lead fj it appeared to him, and
the best mode 6t leitling the cjues
tion would be to produce the
proceedings as to Burr from the
records of the office. It was a
ft range doctrine for English law
yers to maintain that there was
no ncceffiity for their knowing
the fuhjeft on which they were
to legislate.
Lord Sidmouth repeated his
ftatenients as to Burr, and (aid
that on his return to this coun
try he had applied for a licence
for residence, and voluntary lub
mirted to the alien laws. There
was ao difficulty in his case.
Earl Grey asked whether Burr
had not, on the ground of his
being born in English allegiance,
objected to his deportation, as it
Was called ; for this was no En
gl ifii measure, and no Englifb
name ?
Lord Grey asked whether Burr
had not applied to be naturalifed',
and had not been informed that
he could not, as he could not fay
that he was born otu of British
allegiance.
Lord Sidmo.ith laid, he knew
nothing about any l’uch circum
ikmce.
Lord Holland observed, that
they ought to be cautious about
palling an .iff to put powers in
to the hands of thnfe who when
questioned, to the manner of
exectfiion, had no anfwcr to
give, bur that they knew nothing
abort the matter.
Lord Sidmiutb would fay no
thing as to the candor of the ob
fervdtion ; but the peocecding as
to Burr took place in ißoq,
when he was not in the office
of the home department ; hut
even if he had, he might not be
able at once to recoilcdt every
*fcparate proceeding.
BaiTisi: civil list.
In a recent debate in the liri*
tifh fioufe of.ldf-ds, on the civ I
lift bill, lord Holland reproba
ted the condu£t of lord Liver
pool in attempting to juftify the
. augmentation of the allowance to
i the royal family, by mentioning
| th“ prdOfcc of foreign govern
ments as proper to be iinrr.itated
by Lnglifhtnen. H i hoped mi
n fters would not follow the-prac
tice of the arbitrary governments
cn the continent j they ought ra
ther look to the more economi
cal government of America.—
He (fared that the royal family
of England cod the nation annu
ally fevtn hundred and ninety
thousand pounds. He acknow
ledged that they had ‘tot to pay
their members of parliament, as
members of paid in
America, the money received by
th former, not proceeding im
mediately from the people, but
pafling through ‘the drainer; of
the crown.’ He declared oh the
authority 6f a report made by a
committee of the house of com
mons, that the feuectiies (the
means by which fotne political
men were paid) amounted to
105.000 pounds. He made a
ftatemenr, the correOrefs of
which was not disputed, (hewing
that the expcnces of the Rri
tilll government for one year, ih
the civil department alonej a
mounted to about four millions,
lie Paid the contingent expell
ees of Calilereagh at the con
gress of Vienna, was

plomacy for one year. 41,000/?.
lie ended his companion of the
expences of the BYUifh monar
chy with those of the American
republic, with the remark that
“ there was much truth in the
observation of Milton, that the
trappings of a monarchy were
fuflicienj to lit out a republic.”

A'mail from Holland arrived

w£ have had occafton to make
on the policy of the French go
vernment, in reviving and con
solidating its military eftablilh
meiit on a cran'd and t indent

scale, are confirmed. To ac
complifii this important object,
officers of all ranks who served
under Bonaparte, and have riot
too greatly difiinguifhcd them
felvos as enemies to the prelent
government, are called into ac
tive service. The Duke of Eel
tre has alio refolvcd to give dil
tinguished command to a cer
tain number of Generals, in
whom the old army had parti
cular confidence, it is calcu
lated that by this measure, the
French will in two months re
