To these five questions I ait the answer of t N oble Earl. The Earl of LtvEttPoot, spoke as follows :—T knqw not whether I must not apolo.::ise to Your Lordships .for making ally observations upon the questions th. 4 have just been proposed. I admit that it has not heett unusnal some cases, and great advantages hive fee. ciceently le‘tiltcd from the proposal of qnestions upon ! .., rea t :old national moment ; the Ministers of the Crown, the Government 4.1 the day is answerable for the replies that are then ;:iven in the face of this House. But upon the prrsent occasion, 1 leave it to vour Lordships to decide whefter !won A 'abject like that which ink been referred to, the queitions nroposed are such as ought to have hero put--(hear, heal. hear !)—or Fein:- put, whetht r they are such as onl:ht to be answei (hear, hear, beat !)—Upon your ind , onent and your teelim:s, I would most willingly and most securels rest. MY Lords, the Ptinee Re,!eie, actitr , in the name and on the helt.,:t ;iis Majesty. is the father of the Royal Family ; lir has a e l'Aft to re elate the education of his own children. and of the other children of the Roy. ~I Family, if there were any, in such a manner as he may think proper. 1 am yet to learn at what insta•-:ce there k where Parliament interfei ed, or ‘vbere any r.. - o!de Lord has i!:terteretl iii pita:ceding!: of this nature. Witliout enteriug into possible cazes, without entering into extreme eases, wl,at miidtt he stated on this occasion, I wish to be informed vai,t grotmd the Il lustrious I)iike has laid for any proceeding ill yonr Lordships' !tense. —(ilw, hear, hear !)-llaving thus far intruded upon voar Lord ships, I shall conclude %yid' this remark, that I am sati-fieil, that in tie vxvreke of his legitimate prerogative, the Vanier Regent has adopted no rugidatiov.! with Icspurt to the e lucation of hi• dondder %Ouch has not had for its ohivet the benefit aryl is of lie,. Royal Highness. Tne Prince Regent feels towards his daughter as a father, with the strangest :out the warmest affertion, lint he is deeply impressed with the imperious necessity of discharging a duty y.:iich Gad, nature, s ur f the lao's of the country have imposed upon him. I believe that your Lordships will give me credit for the motives, which under the circumstances have intim-need me : hype that, situated as I am, 1 have not condueted myself with dis respect towards the Illustrious Personage by whom these Wert oga toties were proposed : in the late transactions, I must add, that the Pt ince Regent i sat4slied that his conduct has. been cm»pletclv jos tillable : his ohly and his anxions object waslo promote and preserve the happiness, the comfert, and the morak of his daughter. 1 feel that I should be acting in oppositioa to the clear line of ins duty, if I allowed my feentigs to induce me to say another word upon the present ()evasion. Tile Duke of SusF•Ex replied--I have listened with the :realest Attention to what has !iilkii-from the of the Noble Kiri : if it I e thoinjit that in any thin:: that was uttered by me I meant to ex pre*s any opinion disrespectful of the High Personne to whom It4e I\ a b le Earl alluded, I lull- to disclaiin any such intention :in so.do jog, I conceive 1 should have trans!Jessed the Orders of the Hence ; and it would have been the duty of ary Noble Lord to have inter posed to 1 tevent it. I can assure the Hoo•e that I felt no such dis poitioo. I confess that lam not at all satisfied by what has been slid by the Noble Earl upon this occasion ; and I therefore take the liberty of giviti4 notice that ou Friday next I shall consider it my ditty to frame a motion upon goestions ; fur which purpose I shall !um IhOVe that the ihen , e be soinovoied. The LottnCAtAYcEt.i.ort said, I cont'cv4 that I cannot content in self with silunce upon this occasion. The Illustrious Doke says, that he meant tio disrespect to the illustt ions personage at the head of the Government. lam persuaded that he did not meal it, but I must take the liberty ofsaymz, that if the Noble Earl had answered the questions put to him, he could net have given the reply without the ejo , te.t disresp , :et to the trreat personae, whose actions Nave been brought tinder discussion, and without betraying every duty that he owes to his S Ivcreign ; and I should betray my duty if did not tell my Nobh• rtieud (Liverpool) that Win' had answered the qoesti , ms toil to him, or at least the font. first of the questions, be and I should never have cuuvermi upon any.subject again.

What do those qnestions alumna to ? 1 1 , 1 hat is Cie Nob'e Earl asked by them, hut whether any intercourse is allowed between the Prin.' re's Charlotte of %Vides and what. arc termed tier friends ?• I think they may he more properly called her enemies. ( Hear, hear, hear !)-IVhether her Royal Highness is allowt•il the rase ut pen, ink, and paper, that she may write to her friends, or to those wino call themselves so ? The questions suppose that het Royal Highness is debarred from the common comforts and common privileges of her Age ; and is not this, let me ask; a heavy impntation upon those . who a re imagined to inflict !hew deprivations? I cannot look upon this. in any other light that as an animadversion upon the conduct of the Ministers of the Crown, who are responsible for the advice the% have given to the irersonage who arts in the noun' and on the behalf of I,it Majesty. I sAv, as one of those responsible advisers. that the Prince• Regent has hr' law a ri.tht to educate his child in the manner he deems hest., No man has a right to interfere with him in 11(1 education, and still less has he a tight ha call for dsly military interposition. I have only to say, that for any ad v!ce have given to his I upon this oceasion, I ant ready; at all times to an4w cr. not fc;aing tor the retail% It is hut.jtistice to declare, that tiirou,:itont, the Prince Regent has acted with the greatest perental tenderness; if any advice has been Given to mislead anon this important question, those who have ootinded it ought to an , wer for it ; of the relilt of the* illustrious Dake's motion, 1141 111411 can tier a moment doubt, and, at least, the Prince Regent will have the satisfaction of establishing, in the face cf all manhind, that he is a person who well deserves the applause, and not the (-en sure, .ofevery clan upon earth. The Duke of SUSSEN--I have certainly been misunderstood, if it he conceived possible, that. in nutki•ig these remarks, I iiave,been :tutu:tied by any feeling adverse to the Crown. Such an tinpresion v• completely unfounded, and I beg, therefore, ditecAy to conti a 4-:iet it.
