Tne order of the day and the message having been read by the Chet, the Noble Lail said. he rose to move an ..:ddress to the Prince Regent, in answer to his itt3st gracious message; but ke:lcie daing se lie would just eiturtly state the nature and character of the fund which, by the demise of her late Majesty, had been placid under the disposal of Fri liatuent, an.: w.tat was intended to be dote with it. —The aunt itself amounted to 58,01)01. which had been granted out of the Civil Law to her lase Majesty, for her &operate use ; it tLerefore would have fallen to the Civil List again, and not to the ptmlic t and the Prim e argent had it in his power to have placed It aid of the Lord Chamberlain's, the Lord Steward's, or the Master oleic Slots s departments.

The Marquis of LANSDOWX did not rise to offer any objection to the Address, the propriety of which. and the object of the message, aU must agree; and ne Muted gnat the Noble Earl would net think he was qnibbling when he ()Waited to one pact of the argument of the Noble 1.0.11. The Prince Regent had said he placed this sum at the disposal of Parliament, to the amount of 50.0001. As to the prae‘icat use to be made of it. he ;tad no objection ; but lie ulna contend. that the Crown or its Milisters had no right over this money. by the words of the Act of Parliament, or, at least, by its spirit. if the der.nrine laid down by the Noble Earl were admitted, it would go to a great extent ; for, if all die Royal Family were to die it would tie moment/us in say, that the witole or' the Civil List should fall into the heads of Ministers. The Addresis was then agreed to, miens. dirs. and was ordered to be present...o to the Regent, by the Lords with white staves.— Adjourneu till Monday. IJOLTSE OF COMMONS. MONDIY. Fits.
