PARLIAMBNTARr PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, THURSDAY, JULY 3.

The Royal Agent. by ComnaMon (the Arthbidsop of CANTIa-
Loa• CYAN onto', and Lord WALIIMONAM, ring
as Commilinnen) was given to the Affeffed Tarn,Mtla visit
Licence, Revenue Resulatloa. Tortola Free Port, Prawn Yarn,
aadfsvcal other Public and Private Bina
ROYAL 1111113AGSS.

Lord GRENVILLE brought down the Meffage
which is ufually fent by his Majefty, previous to the
dote of the Sefton, preparatory to the demand of a
Vote of Credit.—Ordered to be taken into confider-

ation to MOI row.

His Lord(hip alfo brought down a Menge from
his Ma'sfly, recommending that the pennon of toool.
upon the frill ERahliffiment granted to the cele-
brated Admiral Lord Rodney, fhould be continued
to his Grandfon, the prefent Lord Rodney.—Or-
deted to be taken into confideration tomorrow.
His Lordfhip next' moved the Order of the Day,
For taking into conficieration the Marne which he
bad the hi•nour of bringing down yefterday.
The Mefrage having been read from the Wool-
fad, and by the Clerk at the Table,
Lord GRENVILLE obferved, that the Meßage
naturally refnived Well into two parts; one went to
remedy the defea in the Aft of 1778 ; the other to
enable his Majeßy to make force provifion for the
Younger Branches of the Royal Family. it was
nor until lately that the defea in the former AR had
been difcovered. it was the death of his Royal
Highnefs the late Duke of Gloucefter which direa-
edolmattention of Government to it, the provifinn
for whom remained charged upon the old fund, in-
Read of the confolidoted fond, as intended by the
Aill-0.17711. Parliament, he was perfuaded, would
on
feet
n reluaance to remedy this defea. As little
ion, he was confident, there would be to make
a t able provifion for the younger branches of the
It. 'al Family. The fupport of the Monarchy was
knore a principle of the Conditution than the
proper maintenance of every part of it. It was not
ontrneceffary that the Throne fhould be maintained
with" due fplendour, but that force portion of that
fplitidour (hoold fall upon thole who were fo inti-
mately conneaed with that ellablifhnaent. Their
Lordfhips mull be convinced, that a fum which thirty
years ago might have been amply fufficient for the
fupport of that rank which it was fitting a junior
branch of the Royal Family thould enjoy, would be
wholly inadequate to that purpofe at prefent. The
increafe in the value of every neceffary of life, the
alteration in the flyle of living which could not efcape
their Lordfhips' obfervation, and the decreafe in the
value of money, mull imprefs on the mind of every
Noble Lord who heard him, the neeetlity of increat-
ing the provillon eftablifhed by the Aft of 177 P.
The neceffity of the meafure he would more fully
detail when the Bill thould come berme tile Houfe ;
in the mean time, he would move, that an humble
Addrefs be prefented to his Majefty, thanking him
for his moll gracious Meffage, and affuring him that
st fhould meet with the earließ attention of the
Houfe. Agreed to, running efifentiente.

♦ICCINI INOCULATION.

The Earl of SUPPOLK took occafion to make
a few remarks on the above &Nat. He expreffed
his happinefs at what had taken place with refpc&
to it in the other Houfe of Parliament, which he
trufted, would tend finally to do away (and to
which etre& he was ambitious of contributing his
mite), thofc ill-founded impreffions which obtained
againtl that ufeful and falutary pratice, originating
in certain feurrilous pamphlets, and the affertinns of
interefled individuals. The praetice was grown into
extenlive ufe upon the Continent. With refpea to
Spain, particularly, he had the authority of an of-
Seer of high rank in that fervice, to Rate, that the
vaccine inoculation was highly eßeemed there, and
encouraged by the Government, fo far, that in all
the Royal Ordonnanre:, its worthy author was ftyled,
" the immortal Inner!" He had nothing now to
propofe, but wa. to fully impreffed with the import-
ance of the topic, that he could not avoid thus
troubling their Lord hips.
The 13111 s upon the table, chiefly private, were
then forwarded in their refpative Rages. After
which, their Lot &hips adjourned till to-morrow.
