VOTE OF CREDIT.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL moved the Order of the
Day for the consideration of -the Prince Regent's
Alessage on ,this subject, which being read, his
_Royal Highness's, Message was read in the usual
way by the Clerk. The Noble Earl observed, he
rose to move an humble Address to his Royal
Highness the Prince Regent, in answer to his
most gri.icious Mes:iage which their Lordships had
just heard read. It was certainly unnecessary to
trouble their Lordships at any length' on the pre-.
scut occasion. The Message .to which their af-
teution was directed was the usual Message sent
to both Houses. of Parliament before the close of
a session,. in consequence of which the,aCcns-
tout& Vote of Ciedit took place. lie had first
to inform their Lordships, that the vote meant
to be propoed in the present instance, and which.
would volne before them in
.the Appropriation
Aet,was the sum of three millions,which was simi-
lar in amount to that 'voted last year. He had fur-
ther to add, that in the supplies for the year, it had
been fond necessary from circumstances to ex-
tend the vote for the Army Extraordinaries- to a
considerable amoßnt beyond what was proposed
last Session. This had arisen front the great nil.:
litary eNpenses'whiA an extended scale of opera-
tions had created, from the increased.number Of
'British forces on the Continent, and from the ge-.
neral military exertions o'f the Einp_ire but
though such a coni.iderable addition'to that part
of the ex?enditure was found necessary, yet. the
Vote of Credit was precisely the same as last year.
He did not deem it necessary farther' to detain
their Lordships than. to
_move the customary- Ad-
er,ess, which west to assure his Royal Highness
the Prince Regent of the- cordial concurrence Of
their Lordships in enabling him to adopt such
measures as the. exigencies of affairs in the en-
suin; recess, may require. The Noble Earl hav-
ing moved an Addreis to, this effect, it was im-
mediately agreed to by the House, and 'ordered
to be presented in the usual way\ to his Royal
Highness the Prince Regent.
