LEGITIMACY 1 The earl ol Liverpool lately observed, in the house of lords that since the death
of the late princess Charlotte, the question which every man put to his neighbor in England, was, what was to become of the succession to the throne ? It was a remarkable fact that although his majesty had been blessed by Providence with a numerous progeny, yet of his 12 children now living, namely, seven sons and five daughters, although the youngest of his sons was 44 years of age, and none of the daughters under 40, yet there were at the present moment no living descendants of the roval family.

This is ro certify that we were never served with process by Beckes during his continuance in office but that he made service of a process in our favor on Joseph Decker of Gibson cy & at our Special instance and request spent much more time in taking the defendant than he was actually by law required to do, for which extra services we did pro mise to pay him and that instead of 5 dolhrs we gave him not less than 10 or 15 dollars could have satisfied him for the extra service he rendered us and that we are entirely satisfied with all his official acts so far as the same has come to our knowledge.

His royal highness's utmost wish was, that he should be allowed such means as would prevent him from incurring debt, and in that odious way becoming a burden to the country. His royal highness had voluntarily and by arrangements of his, set apart a portion of his income to pay the interest of his debts, to ensure
life tor the security of his creditors, a gradually to liquidate their amount. H it not been for this alliance therefore,
would not have required any aid from parliament ; and into this alliance his royal highness entered, not fcr hi fxri-
