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 America for the whole ol her di 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.” The Chur ah.
