Parliamentary Proceedings.

Respecting the motion expected to have been brought on this day on the subject of Lord Fitzwiiliani's recal from Ireland , a conversation ensued between the Duke of Norfolk , Earls of Moira and Guildford , and Lord Grenville ; the result of which was , that the former Peer deemed the presence of a noble Duke at the head of the Home Department ( Portland ) , with whose office the transaction in question was intimately connected , in some degree necessary , and as lie understood the noble Duke was detained by indisposition from his attendance in that House , he would therefore wish to postpone the discussion of the

subject to a future period . Wednesday next was the time first mentioned , but it was ultimately fixed for Friday next . A few words ensued between the Duke of Grafton and Lord Grenville , respecting the discussion of the King's Message relative to the Establishment of the Prince of Wales . The noble Duke thought the discussion would move properly come on in ' that House after it had been agitated in the House of Commons . Lord Grenville observedthat what he had to propose on the subject would be

, of such a genera ! tendency , as that , by their Lordships agreeing to it , no embarrassment or inconsistency in their proceedings could properly arise . May i . The Order of the Day being read for taking his Majesty ' s Message into consideration , Lord Grenville moved , that the Message be- read . This being , done by the Clerk at the table , his Lordship said , he rose for the purpose of submitting to the Housean humble Address in answer to his Majesty ' s most gracious

com-, munication . After the explanation of yesterday , it would be superfluous in hini to enter into any detail on this subject . The House was aware ofthe purport of his motion ; and as it ought to be considered merely as a . preliminary to a general discussion , when the specific mode of carrying the object of the Message into effect should . come under their Lordships consideration , his intention was now only to move , that an humble Address be presented to his Majesty , expressing

the thanks of this House for his gracious communication , assuring his Majesty of their readiness to concur in measures for making such provision for the Prince of Wales as shall be deemed suitable to his rank and dignity . The Earl of Guildford said , he did not rise to oppose the Address . It had been worded with so much caution and propriety by the noble Secretary of State , that the House was not pledged to any specific measure . In relieving his Royal Highness from his embarrassments , if-behoved his Majesty ' s Ministers to render the means as palatable to the people as possible . Their burthens , it ought

to be recollected , were already numerous and grievous . In this early stage of the business , he felt it his duty to advert to a report , which , in his opinion , was not calculated to ensure popularity to the measure . Ministers , it was said , had an idea of throwing the whole upon the public , without making the Civil List chargeable with any part of the burthen ! The Message , on the other hand , stated , that his Majesty intended to propose the payment of the Prince ' s debts , by appropriating for that purpose a part of . his territorial revenues . The extreme delicacy of this subject required the utmost caution and circumspection on

the part of Administration in the mode of carrying the Message into effect . Unless his Royal Highness was totally relieved from his embarrassments , the interference of Parliament would be nugatory and inadequate to the purpose . That-the Heir Apparent ought to be freed from all incumbrances , was , he believed , the unanimous opinion of the House ; any regulation short of this would he defective in the most essential article , and the Prince could not be said to possess either comfort , dignity , or splendor , if he were suffered to remain encumbered and embarrassedThe last part of the Messagewhich intimated the

. , adoption of some plan for ' guarding against the possibility of the Prince being involved in any future embarrassment , Would , he hoped , be properly attended . to by Ministers . Too much caution and circumspection could not be exercised , in preventing the establishment of a precedent which might subject'the nation to the liquidation of debts to an unlimited extent . -..-
