JUIN T 4.

Ail. fourth vestion is,—Whether in the course, of the last yea'
the • :1:e recommendation as to ,ea filthily:: and sea air wits 0%101 to
I.er Royal iiiehoess the P incusei Charlotte of %Vales which is under-
stood to have been given in the pre,ent veal ? •
Fifthly- I Lett leave to a,k,—Wlictlier her Royal Highnesq the
ptiueuss Charlotte of Wales, having arrived at the age of eighteen
years an:l a hall, (which is past the period at which Parliament hay
recog!,ised the eopabilitv of Members of the Royal Famil‘ to aSsnme
the rei,zris of th•: ruivernment of the country without assistance)
there is any inientiun to viovide fir her Royal lii2liness an esta-
blishment suitable to her situation, and enahliog her to hold coni-
nomication and to mix in that 1M.1) society over which I Imne her
Itm al Hight:e:;s will hereafter preside ? 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 !..,reat
: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, surf 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\ able 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.
