THr RF/MNT'S MESSAC:E.

---
The Pall of LIVCRPOOL moved the orde 01 the day, for taking
into consideration the massage he b.eught down on Thursday troth
Ms Royal Highness the Trine; Itc:p.tnt. 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
only purpose to which his Royal liiglinass could not of his own
power apply it, was to the remuneration of any of the servants or her
late Mtjesty, because the ht.:not: List war alr..ady It it
had not been for that, his Royal Highness would have pensioned tlic
servants of !cis Royal Mother, in the same way as was done by Geo.
11. on the demise of his Co sort But his Royal Ilighness had been
advised to that vhich was most congenial totals own feelings, namely,
to place the whole sum at the disposal of Parliament. Ile concluded
by moving an Ad•iteLs, which was, as usual, au echo of the message.
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.
