ROYAL FAMILY. -.
Lord GRENVILLE moved the Order of the Day !
for taking into consideration His Majesty's Message*.
His-Lordship observed that, on the first part of the
Message, he could not-conceive that any doubt could'
bgitlyesiclit as Co the propriety of re6lifyiii,ei' an-over-
sight which had occurred respeEtitig the: Provisions
made in the year t 778 for the Younger Branches of
His Majesty's Illustrious House, and which had not
been discovered until .after the death of His Majesty's
brother, the late Duke of Gloucester, when it being, of
course, wished to continue the an nuityenjoyed by that
illustrious Person to the present Duke, it was found that
this could not be done in consequence of an oversight
In not properly transferring the provisions' made for'
the Younger Branches of the Royal Family from the
Aggregate to the Consolidated Fund. There could
not therefore, he conceived, be the least. objeEtion
to making provision for Carrying into' effeet now
what was evidently the intention of , His Majesty
and Parliament at the time. With respe& to the
second part of the Message,* relative to the proposed
increase of the Allowances to the Younger Branches
of His Majesty's • Family, he also conceived. there
could be no doubt as to its propriety. •It was cer,
tainly necessary, in our present circumstanceS, that
every one should make great sacrifices to maintain the
dignity, preserve the honour, and §,ecure the interests
of the Country, and to uphold the Monarchy and the
Constitution. To these sacrifices every one, con-
vinced of their necessity, cheerfully contributed. To
kee:. up the splendor of the Throne, and support the
dignity of the illustrious Branches of His Majesty's
Royal House, was a part of the Constitution, and an
object to, which everyone, who venerated that Con-
stitution, would readily contribute. Theremust be,
he was certain, a full convidion, as the fad, was that_
His Majesty would not have made this appeal to his
Parliament had there not been a real necessity for
making that increase at which His Majesty's Mes•-:
sage pointed. No increase'had taken place in the
provision made for the younger branches of the Royal.
Family Since the year 1778, a period of nearly thirty
years; and when it was Considered hoW• much cir-
cumstances had altered in the course of that period,
and how greatly the price of every article necessary to
the establishment of a household had " increased ;
when it ' was considered also,• that -the illustrious
person's for whom an increased allowance was now
asked, were, from their age and period of life, com-
pelled to an increase. of :expenditure, he was con-
vinced there would remain no doubt as, to the pro-
priety; the expediency, and• the necessity of con-
curring in the proposed increase. The .sums pro-
posed to he granted_ would
_come more properly be-
fore the House whena Bill for that.purpOse came up
froth the 'House of' Commons. The Noble Lord
Concluded by moving an Address, concurring in the
jabjeab of His Majesty's Message.--Carried nem dis.
The Address was ordered to be presented to. his
Majesty by the Lords with white staves.
The Earl of SUFFOLK; addressed the House on the
subject of Vaccine Inoculation, to which he pro-,
fessed himself a warns friend. His Lordship stated,
from a conversation he had had with Admiral Mas-
seredo, the popularity of that mode of Inoculation in
Spain, where it was considered as one of the greatest
benefits that could have been conferred upon man,
Lind.
The Post Officb Regulation Bill was read a third
time and passed. .
The Thread Lne Bill and the East India Shipping
Bill pass&l through Committees, and were reported.
Adjourned till 'to-morrow (this day.) -
