HC Deb 09 April 1818 vol 37 c1225
The Earl of Liverpool

rose to propose an Address of Congratulation to the Prince Regent, on the subject, of the marriage of his royal sister, the Princess Elizabeth. He also intended to move messages of congratulation on the same event to the Queen, to the Princess Elizabeth, and to the Prince of Hesse Hombourg. It could not be necessary for him to take up the time of the House in introducing these motions with any lengthened observations, as it was not possible to conceive that they would meet with opposition from any quarter. With reference to the event itself he should only say, that it certainly must be a proper subject of congratulation, that a union had taken place with a prince of a most illustrious family, high military reputation, and who had displayed great talents in the course of the long war in which he had been engaged. The noble earl concluded by moving an Address to the Prince Regent, which he followed with motions for Messages of Congratulation to the Queen, the Princess Elizabeth, and the hereditary Prince of Hesse Hombourg.

The motions were agreed to, nem. diss.
