Yesterday the -Report of the Comioittee, appoiut-
ed by' the HPaqe of Commons to examine_ his Ma-
jesty's Physicians, was laid upon the table of the
House, and ordered to be printed..'s The Repott ap-
pears to he very Icing. The examinition was ,car
rigid on, for. four.hotirs- on Friday,--and' for near five
hours and a half on Saturday. After the Report
had been ordered-to_be printed, Mr. PEacKvAL_pro-
posed that it should be taken into consideration on
Thursday instead of 'Wednesday, and moved that
on. Thursday the House should reSaive itself into a
Committee to take into consideration the State of
the Nation/ He also gave notice that he should, in
the Committee on the State of the Nation, propose
the three Resolutions which were proposed and
agreed to by both Houses of Parliament in 1788.
We had occasion to quote these Resolutions some
days ago, in arguing the question of Regency; btit
We think it necessary,to re-print .them, in order that •
our readers May more perfectly ,under4tand. the ❑a=
ture of the Proceedings on ThUrsay. Tie
tioos were as 'follow i

1. " That it is the pinion of this_Committee, that his:M A-
J ttsTY is prevented, by his present indisposition, from com-
ing to his Parliament, and from attending\ to the public busi-
ness; and that the personal exercise Of the Royal Authority
is thereby for the present interrupted.
" That it is the opinion of this Committee, that it is
the right and duty of the Lords Spiritual anti TemPoral, and
Commons, of Great Britain, now assembled, and latvtully,
.fully, and freely representing all the estates of the people ot,
this realm, to provide the tneans.of supplying the defect of
the perSonal'exercise of the Royal Authority, arising front his
MA J EST Y'S said indisposition, in such ma:met-as the exigency
of the case may appear to require.
II I. " That for this purpose, and for maintaining entire
the Constitutional Authority of the K it is necessary
that the said Lords Spiritual and' Temporal, and Cortunoti,
of Great Britain, should determine on the means whereby
the Royal Assent'may be gisien in Par;itnent to such Pill as
may be passed by the two Houses of Parliament, respeeting
the exercise of the powers aigauthorities of the Crown, .in
the naive arid on the behal fof the KING, during the conti-
nuance of his MAI EST Y's present inCispositiOn."
The.first of these Resolutions will be agreed to
without any opposition. Upon the second, it is not
probable that much debate will take place ; but
Upon the third, judging by what fell last night from
PONSONBY and. Mr. SHERMAN, the discus-
sion Will be very long. Those Gentlemen, it ap•
pears, adhere to the opinion they expressed in
1788, that the two Houses of Parliament Ought
to
.proceed to invest the PRINCE Of WALES with the
Regency, by an 'address from both Houses of Par-
liament, instead of passing a Bill for that purpose.
We are happy to find that the question of right is
not again revived, and no Member of Parliament
has advanced the unconstitutional doctrine, ad.
vanced by the Morning Chronicle, some' days
agq, viz, that in time case of time temporary
incapacity of the Sovereign to execute his Royal.
Functions, the Prince of WALES should instantly
become invested with all the powers of the Sove-
reign ; and ,that the two Houses of Parliament had
only. to find the fad.. Such a doolrine, we are,
happy to say, has not been advanced in Parliament ;
time question will, therefore, only be,, in the first
instance, which of the two modes of proceeding is
preferable, viz, by Bill or by Address ? •
If this question had now occurred for the first
time, we should undoubtedly, give the preference to
the proceeding by Bill, as the more regular and con-
stitutional mode; but after the precedent of 1788,
we should think that very little doubt can exist upon
the subjed. The'question was at that time fully
discussed by some of the most able men this coun-
try ever produced, and both Houses of Parliament,
after mature deliberation, concurred in thinking that
they ought to proceed by way of Bill. A precedent
established under. such
.circumstaoces ought . not to
be lightly departed from, and we cannot conceive
that the Opposition will be able to advance any
stronger reasons fer violating that precedent now,
than they were against its adoption in the first in-
stance.

After Parliament shall have decided upon the
mode of proceeding, the next important question
v~ ill be, whiether anyoand what restriaions, shall be
imposed upon the Regent, and whether those res-
triaions - should be permanent or temporary ?
Upon this patt.cf the subje& Mr.'PERCEVAL gaVe
notice yesterday that he should fully explain hiS in-
tentions on Thursday in the Committee on the
State of the Nation. Many reports are in circula-
tion as to the nature of the propositions that are to
be made, but they are founded entirely upon con-
jeaure, because the intentions of Ministers have cer-
tainly not been made known upon the subjea.
