The Chancellor OF the Exchccuer then
rose and stated. that his majesty's lamenta-.
Bile indisposition still continued, he would be
prepared on Thursday to prepare certain,
measures Tor supplying the deficiency occa-
stoned in the executive power by his majesN
tyts illness. These measures would be pre-
ciseiy the same with those Suggested in
1888. and would be reduced to three resolu.

presented to his royal highness, pray M
him to assume the office of regent, without
laying any restrictions upon him by bill or
otherwise -
