Presented to the House of Commons; by Contmand of his nova(
Hi hut'' the PlitlNcE REGE,sr, respfel the Payment of the
Debts of the PniNeEss of WAVES, and the separatt Income
which Ilk Royal Highness, Yi ith the Nanetion of his Majesty, st:ta
fled upon her Royal Highness, June, it>o9,

P 1 opnsal Sitrlied by the Prince, and accepted by the Princess signing

her name to it, mu! countersigned by the Prince's Chancellor.

It having been represented to the Dukc' of Portland- and Mr. Per-
eeval, by Messrs. lilagrave and %t. alter, solicitors. employed bit! e
creditors of her Royal Highness the Vrineess of Wales, and through
his Grace and Mr. Perceval, to his Royal Highness the Prince of
Wiles, that the debts of her Royal Highness ainoiinted to the sun'
of 41,0001. ; the Prince most graciously proposed, and now pit),
poses, to take neon himself the arrangement of the debts of her
Royal Highness to that amount, although under no legal obligation
to pay those debts. His Royal Highness was also graciously pleased
to propose, and now proposee, to increase the income of the Piin-
ress of Wales to the sum of 17,0001. net, by addit, the sum of
3,0001. to the sum of 12,0001. (to which sow will be added her Royal
Highness's pin-money 5,0001. a year, received by her Royal High-
ness at the Exchequer;) and his Royal Highness further proposes,
that the income of i 7,0001. shall commence from the sth day of
July next.

This gracious proposal was made conditionally ; and his Royal
Highness most reasonably, amongst other conditions, intimated, that
he and his revenue must, by Act of Parliament, or by an Older of
his Majesty in Council, be effectually indemnified against al debts
which shall in future be contracted by her Royal Highness, and
which shall not be discharged out of her own income.--eut it being
thought advisable not to apply to Pai liament at present for such in-
demnity, and that the purpose could not be efketuated by an Order
in Council, it was sugt,estrd, that if any Claim should be made
against the Prince or his revenue, for any debt of the Princess's
(the Treasurer of the Prince being regular in making payment to
the Princess's Officer of the income of 17,0001. by equal quarterly
payments) for the purpose of fixing the Prince or his revenue with
such debts; that application should' be immediately made to Parlia-
ment thereupon, for an Act to secure the Prince and his reee..ne
for the future against all debt of her Royal Highness; the 17,0001,
per annum continuing to be regnlarly paid.

In the course of this transaction; it was discovered by Mr. Per-
revel, and communicated Ity him in a' letter to Mr. Adam, that the
Princo:;'s debts would exceed the cunt of 41,0004 by about 80001.
for which excess, -Mr. Perceval stated, that he could not then ac-
curately or distinctly at:count. but that it had not been by any
means ail incurred daring Ike discussion on the contrary, that he
conceived it to arise principally. fi um the introduction of the de-
mands of. other creditors, probably on the private purse account,
who had not given in their debts betore to Messrs. Blagrave and
Walter,. . As, however, it would be contrary to the good faith of
the proposed arravtgement to throw this excess 'Upon his Royal
Iliglinms, it occurred to the Lord-Chancellor and Air. Perceval,
nat it would IN advisable to submit to his Majesty, on the part of
his Majesty's servants, that his Majesty should be graciously pleased
to make a great from his. Droits, which might discharge it.

Mr. Adam hAving laid this matter and Mr. Percevalss letter be-
fore the Prince, received his Rovd Higlogess's commands to stag,.
