TO CORRESPONDENTS.
"Subscriber,” Tuparoa.—So far as we can learn, there would have been no change in the succession to the British Crown although Queen Victoria hod been horn abroad. In the reign of Edward 111., we read, the Archbishop of Canterbury came into Parliament and demanded whether children of the King should inherit in England because of being bom "out of the King’s dominions and aliens.” Whereupon, "all the Parlia. ment agreed, let them be horn where they would they should inherit.” The authority from whom we quote adds: ‘‘Without any doubt, the alienage, if any, of the eldest son would become extinct on his succeeding to the Crown on the death of his ancestor.”
