Though Mr. Pitt denied an inherent right in the prince of Wales to assume and exercise the whole powers of the. crown, upon the declared incapacity of the king, yet he was decidedly of opinion', that his royal highness, as heir apparent of full age, had a claim of priority, above every other subject, to be invested with such part of the royal prerogatives, as the two houses of parliament should judge requisite, for administering the government during that short period, beyond which it was hoped... that a regency would not be necessary. The former he did not admit, because it would have, been incompatible wi^ the righto of parliament, arid might have been dangerous to the welfare and.intereste of the king, "who was still upon the throne, and who might soon be capable of resmriing the exercise of his royal authority. The latter he allowed, because it was the best mode of supplying the temporary defect in an essential branch of the legislature ; and because the appointment of any other person as regent, might have been injurious to the future righto of the heir apparent ; and, in the mean time, productive of much cabal, confusion, and mischief m the kingdom.
