to this speech he made response, marked with mo.

much less ministerial than the Prince.

has taken care not to compromise its position by
any violence of language. Bat the speech OF ths
Prince has not the less produced considerable ef.

We have thought IL our duty to call attenti IN to
the speech Of Prince Albert, because 1t may fore
