THE PRINCE Itf.firENrB LETTER. ' • • '
Lord 110RiNG1X)N said he held in his hand a..
printed Paper, purporting to be signed by his Royal
Ifighoess the l'rince Regent, addressed to an illus-
trious person at the head of the army, and contain-
lug matter of- 'high import to the country: Seeing a
Noble Secretary of State in the House, he wished to
ask that Noble Lord whether the paper to witiat he
alluded was resin? the ietter of his ltoyat Highness
the Prince IhlNrut ? If • that admitted, or if it
was not titoWt he should then hate a further pro.
position to'seiseit to their Lordships.
The Earl it LIVERPOOL said the Noble Lord
could not expect en answer to such a question,
and he (Lewd Livetilool) should not give any att.'

titer.

Lord BORINGDON said, the Noble Lord had
via denied the genitineness of the letter - an answer,
purporting to come from two Noble faords to that
letter, had also. been published, and he wished to
know if it was the answer of those Noble Lords ?
understanding that to be the case, he should feel it
his duty to call their Lordships' attention to the sub-
ject on Friday Se'nnight. That his Royal Highness
the Prince Regent,in writing that letter,was actuated
by the purest' aid most patriotic motives he was
hound to believe, and in his conscience he was sa-
ii !led, that hoverer there might be some unfortunate
expressions in the letter, that the dbject of his Royal
Highness was to form an Administration on a fair, a
liberal, and a broad basis. The melancholy issue
was already known, and the darkest and most gloomy
prospects now surrounded us. Dangers pressed up-
on us on every side, whilst the means of averting the
ruin which menaced the country were weakened and
enfeebled. lt, was a subject of sital importance to
the people, and therefore, however feeble the effort
might be, be felt it to be his duty to make an at-
tempt to avert the daggers which threatened us, and
which were every day iecreasing. He again expressed
his con°rientious conviction, that the object of the
Prince Regent was to form an Administration on a
fair, a broad, and a liberal basis, and he was at the
sane time convinced that the answer of his Noble
Friends to the letter of his Royal Highness, had
beets much misunderstood and misrepresented. The
purport of his suction wee ioteeded to be an kamislo

nestly endeavour to adopt such measures as would
teed best to protnote the interests of the country, by
ensuring security and tranquillity at home, and re-
spect and consideration abroad. It was possible,
however, that in the interval he might see raison to
alter the form of his motion. lie therefore moved
that the herds be summoned for Friday sennight.
Lord GRENVILLE said, that reserving his sen-
timesits till the discussion of the motion, of which
notice bad been given by his Noble Friend, he
thought it his duty not to be backward in avowing
the answer to the letter alluded to by his Noble
Friend to be his. There were some clerical errors
in the publication, but they were of little conse-
quence. The substance was the same. The senti-
ments contained in that letter were such as naturally
arose at the time in his breast—they were those which
his duty to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent
dictated—they were those which were dictated by his
duty as a subject of the country.
Earl GREY thought it unnecessary to add any
Nog to what had been stated by his Noble Friend
(Lord Grenville), except to avow his concurrence in
this sentiments contained in the answer sent by his
Noble Friend. There were some clerical errors in the
publication, but they were not of consequence, and
did not materially alter the substance. He thought
it right, however, to state, that he did not autho-
rise the publication, and how the letter and the
answer found their way into the public prints he
knew cot. Ile, however, fully concnrrred in the
sentiments expressed iu that answer, conceiviug them
to be those which it was his duty to concur in de-
claring.
The DuktutNORFOLK said, the Noble Lord
(Roringtion) had his thanks for bringing-this
portant subject *fore the House, bat he wished, for
the sake of convenience, that an earlier day could be
fixed upon for the discussion.
Lord BORINGWN mentioned Thursday, the
19th inst. which was agreed to, and the Lords were
ordered to be summoned for that day.
Adjourned till to-morrow (this-day).
