LORD J. RUSSELLsaid, before moving the Order of the Day for going into Committee of Supply, he would fulfil the promise which he had given to the noble Lord opposite (Lord G. Bentinck) with respect to the Wellington military memorial, on the subject of which he had given notice of a Motion. Since he last addressed the House, he had communicated with the illustrious Duke relative to the Statue which had been erected over the arch in the Green Park; and the substance of his reply was, that his Grace considered the question not individually, but entirely on public grounds—that many persons considered, and that the Committee entertained a similar opinion, that its removal from the arch might be construed as a mark of the disapprobation of the Crown towards the individual in whose honour it had been erected—that, for his own part, he had received too many proofs of the regard and approbation of the Crown to entertain any such notion—but that in his opinion such an idea might be formed by the public; and, therefore, upon public grounds he deprecated the removal of the Statue. This statement had been communicated to Her Majesty; and in obedience to Her Majesty's commands he had now to state that the Government did not intend to persist in the removal of the Statue.
