Letter Of the Prince Regent to Nh. Perez
pal, Dated
CHIFFON House., FEB. 4, 1918.
The Prince Of Wales considers the moment
10 he arrived which calls for his decision with
respect to the persons TO be employed by him
IN the administration OF the Executive Co
yernmcnt of the country, according to the pow
ers vested in him ny the Bin passed by the
Two Houses of Parliament, and now on the
point OF receiving the sanction OF the Great
Seal.
The Prince feels il incumbent upon him, at
the present iuncture, TO communicate to Nh.
Perceyal his intention not to remove from
their s,ations those whom he finds there, as his
Maiesty's official servants. At the same time.
the Prince owes it to- the truth and sincerity of
character, which he trusts, will appear in eve
~ action ot his life, in whatever situation pla-
ccd, explicitly to declare, that the irresistible
impulse OF filal duty and affection TO his be-
loved and afflicted Father, leads him to dread
that any act vi the Regent might, in ti,e small
lest degree have the effect OF interfering with
the progress of his Sovereign's recovery. This
consideration alone dictates the decision now
communicated 10 Mr.. Perceval.
Hsvng thus performed act of indispensi-
Sle duty. from lust sense Cs what is due to
his own consistency and honour, the Prince
has only TO add, that among the many blessings
TO be derived from his majesty's restoration to
health, and to the. personal exercise Of his
Royal Functions, it will not, in the Princes es-
timatio i, be the Least, that that most fortu-
l.,
tuation of unexaInpled embarrassment, and put
an end to a state of affairs, ill calculated, he
fears, to sustain the interests of the United
Kingdom, in this awful and perilous crisis, &
most difficult to be reconcied to the genuine
principles OF the British Constitution.
