Delivered by The Earl GRANVILLE, and read by The LORD CHANCELLOR, as follows:— Her Majesty having agreed to a marriage proposed between Her Royal Highness the Princess Beatrice Marie Victoria Feodora and His Serene Highness the Prince Henry Maurice of Battenberg, has thought fit to communicate it to the House of Lords: The numerous proofs which the Queen has received from the House of Lords of their loyalty to the Throne, and of their attachment to Her Person and Family, leave Her Majesty no doubt of their readiness to concur in enabling Her Majesty to make suitable provision for Her Royal Highness.

Ordered, That the said Message be taken into consideration on Friday next.
