Delivered by the Marquess of Salisbury, and read by the Lord Chancellor, as follows:

VICTORIA, R. I.,

Her Majesty having agreed to a marriage proposed between Her granddaughter, Her Royal Highness Princess Louise Victoria Alexander Dagmar, and the Right Honourable the Earl of Fife, 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 provision for Her Royal Highness. V. R. I.

Ordered, that the said Message be taken into consideration to-morrow.
