IMPERIAL. PARLIAMENT. "','
IMPERIAL. PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF O_NS. 310ND.-Ii\ PENSION TO LORD LAKE. Lord Casilereagh said, he hoped that on the motion he should have the honour of proposing there would be no disference of opinion, but a li- beral and ready concurrence with the wishes of his Majesty, by enabling him to confer some eminent mark of public favour, in remuneration of the ser- vices performed by the great Military Character whose recent loss this country had now to deplore. It might he justly asked, why those services had not been noticed sooner; why the present propo- sition had not been brought forward at" the time when the services were rendered ? The cause arose partly from the distance at which the gallant Ge- neral then was, in Itidia; and that his Majesty could not then know whether, under the lucrative situations he held, such a .provision would have been consonant to Ii':s wishes; and partly, since his return to Europe, from the forbearance of the Noble Lord to make any claims upon the liberality of his country, so Ion; as his income in the situa- tions he held would enable him to support the dig- nity his Majesty had been pleased to confer on him. But, although during his life his emoluments were sufficiently great to bear him out in this purpose, yet since his death it had been found, that the state of his affairs was such as not to leave his he-irany thing like adequate to rank he enjoyed, as the Foit and successor of so eminent a father. It had been long the usage of Parliament to confer liberal remunerations upon those officers who had rendered great military- services; and of this there were many eminent in- stances upon the records-of Parliament. But the services of Lord Lake were not limited to one or two eminent victories; his whole life was one series of brilliant achievements. The American war lirst gave to his character the stamp of heroism. In the Continental war his conduct was most con- spicuous, especially at the battle of Lincclles. But it .was from the late war in India that his cha- racter derived its brightest lustre. There never was a Commander who exhibited himself to more advantage in the eyes of his troops for while he cherished their couratrc, and excited their valonr, he was himself the bright example of that cool- ness aud intrepidity which he sought to inculcate. Whatever, therefore, might be the difference of political opinions about the measures adopted by the British Government in that quarter of the globe, there could be none upon the services of Lord Lake. To him was owing the extermination of the French power in India, and that the French Ruler, avowing, as he had done, his designs upon India, had yet been" obliged to meditate his- at- in furtherance of those designs, from Persia and other distant quarters, instead of acting from onr frontiers, which he would now have been en- abled to do, but for the victorious career of Lord Lake. Having said thus much, he felt it unneces- sary to detain (he Committee upon the melancholy and premature death of the Noble Lord, just as he had returned to to enjoy the honours I' and rewards of his past services amongst his family and friends. Ho should now proceed to the object of the Message before the Committee. He had ¡ before only suggested a provision of 20001. a year I to the two next heirs of Lord Lake; but he hoped the feelings of the Committee wOuld go with him, in proposing that the pension should commence from tiie date of, the services it was meant to re- ward, namely, from the battle of Delhi, and that ward, namely, from the battle of Delhi, and that it should extend to the two next heirs iu succes- sion to the present Lord Lake. The other pro- position 1>0 had to offer was, the erection of a Monument to the Noble Lord, as he had mentioned upon a former night. It might he objcftecl, ifcat I ala ..u.. public monuments Ito departed heroes were not usuahy gran'e.J by he country, except when thos* heroes .1 n ?ttle; but still there were many e < » m's on. record. He would instance «nc c e l Lord Howe. He concluded by moving, as he had premised, a gran", ot' 20001. a year, to commence f:o: the bat tie of Deihi, and be continued to the p-e..nt Lord Lake, and his two .next heirs in succession. Mr. fVhilbfeud hooagh he had no objec- tion to go with the N'o!)P» Lent in the n-rv h--h encomiums he had beiu-wed m rhe rj, character of Lord Luitc, aud tr k io nut he «,> a • i eat Genet T, and 1.1 i d .< C4L!

If is Majesty's Message proposed to the House merely a provision f-)f a-veaf to the two. next heirs in succession of General- Lake; but the Noble Lord had now proposed no £ merely this annuity to another generation, but to -V it a rcfrospective operation, to no less an The Noble Lord had pleaded, -in e, ul i sooner pre, posed this rc- njUiitiatioii, IUU t-C-'it di.n.ance at which General Lake iia. but mat. circumstance did not preclude the knowlede of his services, uor prevent his Majesty from immediate remuneration, if it were deemed necessary but at the end of five vears to bringfofwant this propes lion, and to claim ar- rears for all that time, though no "was till now thought necessary, was what he could not accede to. The Noble Lord had been in possession of very lucrative eii)]^oyK.>en £ s, which enabled him tu receive large sums of money so large, indeed, as to render it quite, indecorous to come forward during his life-time with such a "proposition as this; hut no sooner was he deceased, than it < i r I t his affairs were so emlar-' rased as t/J heirs totally unable to sup- port the t.i- inherited. Cer- tainly the cn l i of family of.Lord. lake, as represented by 'he a !e i .rl, lende ed the duty extremely pai <1 of d.-r«pp" .mv pro- vision for the of the No t; and to prevent, as it were, the peei.. e u. sal- lied, he would consent to the *Go0L a year; hnt to the grant of 90001. and the of a Public Monument, he should decidedly object. Mr. j'rl. J. Taylor admitted that the Noble Lord (Lake) had Imllihcr-al allowances to support his dignity in the station he had filled; but his ex- pellees were fully equal to them. The splendour of his appointments, the hospitality of an open table for his officers, and the well-known acts of his private munificence, had prevented him from accumulating money; and when it was recollected, that, at his decease, the only provision he was able to make for his several daughters was 15001. each, he was confident, that a British House of Co ii i would never consider such a provi-,ior» fer <- taugh* cp sueha man. Happy wo 1 »' 1 S'and r' i India, if every Co,ii.uan :ti s.i:ai, thiilv i d the principle» and the coudiict of Lord Lake! He did not use his power for the purposes of plunder to enrich his family. He returned from India with only a lor- tunc of 40,0001. to provide for a wile and seven children, Sir John Stewart hadjfeceived his' pen- sion in cons-equence of his services; and that gaf- 'ant General, although a single man, had declared to him, he could never save any illiug from the allowances assigned him; but if military officers who happened to be married were to devote their whole lives to their country's servicl-, and were taught not to look up to their country for any pro- vision for their children, left destitute by their deaths, it were better to pass a law at once, bind- ing tlrein to chastity like Catholic Priests, and thereby prevent them from having, children to provide for. Sir Arthur Welhsley said, that it was very true that Lord Lake was very much in debt previous to his going to India, and to the discharge of those debts, the residue of his pay and appointments (after the necessary expence of his establishment was deducted) was constantly applied, and paid over to an Agent that came from England for that purpose. As to the circumstances of Lord Lake's family, he knew that his family estate on! vamount- ed to about 8001. a year, atid that the money that he died worth was only from 35,0001. to 40,0001. Such beiu the actual state of his circumstances, is was evident tha t the dignity of the peerage could not be supported by his successor, nor his family provided for unless the House should agree to grant the pension. Sir Francis Burdctt rose to enter his pretest against the grant. Ile had two objection's: one on personal grounds, and the other upon constitu- tional grounds. The personal objection was this, that when any individual came forward to claim a pension on llie .ground of services, those services ,e should be of a very distinguished nature. There ought; not to be any necessity for asking when and where those services were performed; but ther should be services of that brilliant kind, that the fame of them would ring through the world. In the present circumstances of the country, when the people of England were burthened and ex- hausted with taxation, he did not think that any extraordinary grants of should be voted a" a remuneration for services which were, not in themselves .of extraordinary merit. This was tin* whole of the personal objection, as bo did not deny that Lord Lake was a gallant ollicer, and had per- formed some services, although he differed with. many Hon. Members as to itie of those services. His great objection, however, to she grant was upon constitutional grounds. He thought that his Majesty had ample resources ac t means to reward every merit of this nature, and that there was no necessity for applying to Parliament to lay a new burden upon the people. He should ask what had become of all those sinecures whim were at the disposal of the Crown, and under the patyonage of Ministers ? Whenever they had been alluded to in that House, it was always argued by Ministers, that these things were very necessary, in order to enable the Crown to reward eminent services.; but whenever there were any eminent services to he rewarded, instead of giving any of those piaees which it was pfefended that they ought to have the patronage of for the reward of eminent services, the real reward was always made to come by imposing an additional burden on the people. Jle should wish to ask the Gentleman on the other side, what kind of eminent services those were, for the reward of which those things were giveu ? They were services which never saw the rv es which none but the Ministers knew
