apPear to have been preseed upon the attention of
your Royal Highness; in consequence of - the an,
vice of Lord.Thurlow, and upon grounds orput-
lic duty, by whom they Were. transmitted to his
Majesty's consideration. And your Royal High-
ness having been graciously pleased to command
us to report our opinions to your Royal Bigh-,
ness, whether, under all the circumstances of rb
case, it, be fit and propd that the inter~ a- rse be-
tween the Princess of Wales and her datth ter, the-
Princess Charlotte, should continue to be subject
to regulation and restraiat--,-
We beg leave humbly .to report to yo“ Royal
Highness, that after full examination of all the
documents before us, we are of opinion, that tin-
der all, the circumstance of the case, it is- highly
fit and proper, with a view to'the welfare or her
Royal Highness, the Princess Charlotte, in whirli
are equally involved the happiness,of p?nr. Royal
Highness in
-your parental and royal character,
and the most important Interests or the State, that
the intercouse between , her Royal Highness the
Princess of Wales and, her Royal HighneSS the'
Princess Charlotte, should continue fo be subject
to regulation and restraint.
` We humbly trust that we may be permitted,
without being thought to exceed the limits of the
duty imposed on us, respectfully ito eXpress the
just sense we entertain of the motives by which.
your Royal Highness has been actuated in the
postponement of the confirmation of her Royal
Highness the Princess Charlotte, as it appears,
a statement under the hand of her Majesty the
Queen, that your Royal Highness has ilonformed.
in this respect to the declared will of his Maje Sty ;
who had been pleased to direct, that such cere,
molly should not take place till her Royal
Highness should have 'completed her eighteenth

We also humbly trust, that we may he further
permitted to notice some.espitssions in the letter
of her Royal Highness the Princes's of )Vales,
*The Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas: was
prevented by indisposition from attending daring any part of
these proceedingst
which may possibly be construed as implying a
charge of too serious a nature to be passed over
without observation. We refer to the words;--•
" suborned . traducers." As this -expression,
from the manner in whkeb it is introduced, may,
perhaps, ,be , liable to misconstiuction, (however
impossible it may be to suppose that. it can
,have
been so intended) ; to have reference to some
part of the conduct of your Royal Highness ; we
feel it our bounden:duty not to . omit 'this op-
portunity of declaring, that the' documents laid
before us, afford - the most ample' proof, that
there is 'not thei slightest foundation for such an
aspersion, . .

Alarltime and Coinim.ntal War obliges «s to keep
on foot, the population Continues' to increase ;
-that our industry has made' new, progress; that

the manufactories more flourishing; that never,
at any epoch of our history, have riches been
more spread among the different classes of

" The simple cultivator at this time knows
enjoyments, to which he was formerly a stranger;
he purchases at a higher price such lands as suit
him be 4 : his clothing is better, In is food is more
abundant and more substantial; he rebuilds his
houses, and Makes them more commodious and
substantial.
New inventions in agriculture, in industry,
and in the useltil arts, arc not rejected, merely be-
cause of their being new. Every where trials are
made, and such as experience proves to be prefer-
able, are usefully substituted for the old routines.
The artificial sheep:walks are midtiplied, the syss
tent of fallowing is discontinued, inclosures less
extensive, and new cultivations augment the pro-
duce of Our lands ; the cattle multiply, and their
breed is ameliorated; the lowest farmers have
acquired the means of obtaining, at high prices,
the rams of the Spanish breed,*anitthe stallions. of
our best kind of horses.
" Become enlightened to
.their , true interests,
they do not hesitate -making these useful pur-
chases ; thus the wants of our manufactures, our
.agriculture, and our armies,' become every day
more assuredof relief. This degree of prosperity
is owing to the liberal laws by which this great
Empire is governed, to the suppression of the
feudal syiAem, the .tenth, the mainsmartes, the
monastic orders ;a suppression which has con-
stituted or rendered free that great number of pri-
vote estates now become the free Itatrimony;of a
moltitude of families hithertb of the-loi-ilft-diass:
it is owing to the equality of partitions, to the
clearness and simplicity of the laws on property
and on securities ; to thepromptitude with which
law-suits, which are every day decreasing, are
decided ; it is to these same causes, and to the
influence of vaccination, that the increase of the.
population shoald be attributed. Anti why should
we not acknowledge to ourselves that even the
conscription itself, which every year causes the
chief of our youth to range themselves under . its
banners, has contributed to this • increase, by
multiplying the number of Marriages in favouring
them, by for ever fixing the fate of young French-
men wit() have once 'obeyed the law."

To which, the President of the LegislatiVst4ody
replied as follows.:
OfiNTLE:n.--;-The txpose of-the situation of
the Empire, which we never hear •without I,•esit
interest; cannot :ind more enlightened judges, nor
receiVe more sincere applauses, titan in the bosom,
of the Legislatisie Corps. Who among us is ig-
nbriint of the progress Of this interior ciredation,
which enliveni every kind of industry, and has,_
csustvl effects
even to reach that laborious elass
Which has for so long a time been ignorant of its
enjoyments.:, It is by the remellitirance of those
rhiys, not far removed frowns, am! not by the re-
gret of those who cannot hope:for them' vain,
that we love. to judge of the'works of Government
and of their success. France ohs Ilya tributaCy to
foreigners lot the greater part of its wants, with- •
o'ht circulation among the interior towns, without
certain employmemt to -the inhabitant:4 of the
country, and without giving '-them proportionate
wages, saw her contirierce and her fortune con-
centred in a few maritime cities, whOse,,spienqour
we for the momeot regret, but the ioiltience of
which was but little felt in tile-distant p;ovindes.
At 'present. -a more: skilful agyicultare yields a
greater produce. Large Manufactures bring into-
every country foreign arts ; mere .nbundant-and
better paid labour makes the people forget
,thOr.
privations, But, nevertheless, far from us be th•e.
idea of any injustice towards •those, anterior
times, much
~was then done ; but we have intr.
passed the hopes of our forefathers, antl,far from
misconceiving- those benefits, we love to plde4 the
glory of them' to theiratithOr: How could we
forbear admiring those ,generous efforts' which
no interest could relax ?'.ln this very year whea
'unexpected losses appear to have no other caiv
than that of repairing them, immense, stuns
are consecrated equally to interior industry,
,to
'retaining what has already been aehieved,.and to
the execution of.what is not yet performed. -
" May our enemies at length fickwldge e the infinite resources of this ,pupire,no and jitdgeth (if
her greatness by this noble emulation of gelfbrosi-
ty between the Sovereign and people, anit thence
foresee•ita destiny, Which is in the hands of -a
genius equally capable of inspiring. his enemies
with terror, and his people with confidence."
