again It the exercise of such a discretion on the part of aist.frs. i tie CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIEQIER remarked, if the Petitioner were ignorant of the proceedings with respect to M'Adarn. it is probable that he would have been equally igraor,mt of any other proceeding of that llouse, for he knew of niothing thetliad been more talked about. CALCRA FT objected, not to the amount of the re rniveration, but to the manner in which it had been made. 't+e• decision of a Committee of that House wes not final. 'This !cd ben lately s _•eri in the case of General Desfourneaux. Ile ikad been voted 20,0001: in a Committee, but in the house when e•-• 3 Tabieet had been brought forward, the Right Hon. Gentle tae.ti had bef'n left in a minority. The Petition was ordered to printed. Mr. BENNET, alluding to the grant of 4,0001. to Sir W. A dam. for h's services in the Ophthalmic Institution by a Com hoped the Chancellor of the Exchequer would not ad vance to that •iadividual four thousand pence before the next it'esqiti of P:trharnent. as he thott&7ht the subject ought to be trceght under the consideration of the House, and wholly dis remted from the Report. ('OCIIT OF SESSION IN SCOTLAND. Mr. HUME rose to present a Petition whiA } , ad been in his possession for a considerable tkoe past, and which he had intended to present !) ,, fore. from W. Jamieson, one of the Clerks of I►is - Niajesty's Signet in Scotland, praying for all in cony into the Acts of Sederunt of the Court of !..;e.sion in Scotland, and especially into the Act of Sedertint of 1510. The Hon. Member spoke • at some length on the powers exercised at the Court of Session, in declaring Acts of Parliament to have fallen into desuetude ; thus in effect, alter ing the law. He thought it necessary that some inquiry should take place ; and that measures should. be adopted to guard against the as- Irrlption of power on the part of Judges which ( - lid not belong to them. From the conduct of some of them, it shoe Id seem that it was only necessary now to put a wig on a man's bead, and a gown on his back, to authorise him to lecture any one. He adverted to the conduct of a Law Officer in this country, who when 31/00 to pass sentence of death on a number of criminals, had thought proper to indulge in a digression, for the purpose of praising the Bridge Street Association. For Judges to act ' a part like that which he had described, was, in his opinion, to make an ill return for the honours they received, and the confidence reposed in them. He called on the Noble Marquis oppo cite, who had lectured Mcunbers over and over again for digressing from the subject under de bate—(though any subject might fairly be brought before that House)—to endeavour to check con duct like that of which he complained. Ile had now to state that the .Magistrates of Montrose having lately quarrelled among themselves, an ac tion was brought by one of the parties against the other. The Judges unanimously decided on dis missing the suit w ith cos t s , an d on that occasion the Lord President Hope indulged in remarks not growing out of the case before him, which he thought would justify them in bringing him to the Bar of the House ; but as the Speech con tained a charge against Ministers, lie should leave it to them to take it up. lie then proceed ed to contend that the Lord President, in the -teeth of what bad been stated in that House three years ago by Ministers, said, that the new Charter was quite unconstitutional, and the Ma gistrates must be cautious how they acted under it, or criminal warrants might be issued against diem.. He went on to state that the Magistrates were in consequence.placed in a very awkward situation, and that now if they were hammed e.itere a thief was concealed they would be at a Joss to know whether it would be safe for them to issue a warrant for his apprehension. lie Loped conduct like. that of Sir J. Silvester and Lord President Hope would be discouraged, and trusted that the latter would be brought to the that- of that House in the course of the next Ses sion, and he (Mr. Hume), in that case, would be ready to give the Noble Lord every assistance in poWer. That which he recommended, if dune, would teach the Lords of Session a good le4;son, who, at present, seemed to think when placed in that situation there were no limits to their authority. If the Noble Lord would only move for the appointment of a Committee he (:-Zr. Hume) would pledge himself to prove what he had advanced.—The Petition was then read. The Petition was read. On the question that it do lie on the table, Lord BINNING said he did not mean to oppose the Petition, but he would put it to the House whether the Bench of Scotland, and the Lord President Hope in particular, had not reason to complain of the manner in which they had been treated by the Hon. Member. He (Mr. Hume) stated that he had the Petition a good while im his possession, but was it not too much to keep back a Petition involving the character of a Judge of the land, until the last day of the Ses sion, when months must elapse before any expla nation could be given ? Of Mr. Jamieson lie knew nothing, btit lie must protest against all that the Hon. Member had said respecting the Co-art of Session a s tot a lly groun dl ess , an d h e must a d d that the Hon. Member had made but use of his discretion in bringing this sub ject forward as he had done. He denied that the Judges superseded the law by Acts of Sede rtrnt-; and with respect to desuetude, be under st(iod applied •onlYtp certain Scottish laws, atA;iot to any British ,Act of Parliament. lie had no doubt this Petition would turn out to be one of that class, of which they had already seen but too many. ford A. HAmtr.'ropt complained of the hard ship of 'Wowing the Judges to declare which laws should be held , in force, and which in desuetude, Mr. litimE said, what the Noble Lord had stated was merely his own opinion, arid was no doubt entitled to all the weight which was due to a supporter of the existing. order of things in Scotland. So wedded was the Noble Lord to the abuses which existed in that country, that he (Mr. Hume) believed if they .were,sliewn to be as black as ink, it would be impossible to induce him (Lord Binning) to remove them, Be re peated, that the charges of overbearing, conduct on the part of the . Lord President Hope were true, and admitted of no justifica•tion, lie had on one occasion ordered apers.on, from the Bar, dctlaring that acts.cif sedonini Eireu/d supersede the law of the land. • • • ,Lord LinonNo - said, it was impOssible. for tiiri7, rto allow the speech of the Hon. Member to go Portia vitt:4a sohle - riithark. He. Otr. Mit/10 sleight form what opinions he pleased about his (Lord 13.'s) attachment to abuses ; it was matter of indifference to him what the Hon. Member thought, and he should dismiss that part of the subject, only obsm.ying, that those who were ac quainted with his (Lord B.'s) character, would, not believe that which had in no very decorous manner been imputed to him. lle . cou Id not allow those im putations thrown out against his relation the Lord President Hope to pass unanswered. The Hon. Member had talked about matters of whicl► h e knew but little—of which, in fact, no Member in that. House knew any thing.—( A laugh.)— The Hon. Member might .conscientiously think that abuses existed in Scotland, and wish to re form them ; but was it fair to make such an at tack upon the character of an individual upon the last day of a Session ? If l►e (Mr. Hume) had waited until next Session, l►e (Lord Binning) I-mild have undertaken to have given him a most satisfactory answer. There was not any man who knew the Lord President Hope who did not admire and respect him, both in public and private. it might be that there were per- • sons who had drawn down the just indignation of the Court of Session upon them, and who, possessing little character, might arm Members of Parliament to blacken tl►e characters of indi viduals ; but this was no argument that the per sons so accused were guilty. On the question that the Petition be printed, the Gallery was cleared for a division, but no division took place. We understand that the motion for printing the Petition was withdrawn. GENERAL IJE!q.'OIINEAUX. Mr. K. DOUGLAS presented a Petition on behalf of Gene ral Desfourneaux, on the late decision of the House, with re spect to tile Guadaloupe clai►ns, praying that that an opportuni ty of oirering further evidence might be afforded to him. The SPEAKER inquired whether this Petition, which re ferredto a grant of public money, had the sanction of the Crown? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, after the late decision of the House, thought in his situation it would not -become him to take any further st:p in the business. The Petition was of course dropped. SOCIETY FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF VICE. Dr. LusulxwroN presented a Petition from W. Clarke, of '2Ol, Strand, stating, that prosecutions had been instituted against him by the Society for the suppression of Vice, that he was arrested, and had been confined in gaol for a considerable period, and war; at length compelled to give bail ; that in consequence of the harsh measures which had been taken against him, he suffered mud injury, loss in business, and great anxiety of mind ; that his wife, who was deeply advanced in pregnancy, alarmed at the treatment which he received, was prematurely delivered, and that her life had been exposed to the greatest danger. The Petition further stated, that an old man who had s heen employed by the Society, and who, as the Petitioner since discovered, was a common informer, came to Petitioner's shop to purchase the publications for tvhich he was afterwards prosecuted, took. up a book which lay upon the Petitioner's count e r, an d which he had lately published, entitled, a Killing no Murder," and said, " this is a good book. I wish the principles were applied to Castlereagh and his Junta." The Petitioner replied that the book was writte❑ at a particular time, and for a particular purpose, and that the principles it contained would not admit of being generaliz ed. The lion. and Learned Gentleman said, that from the statement it was clear that the Society for the Suppression of Vice did much mischief, as indeed all public bodies were sure to do, that countenanced the employment of spies. For him self he held the etnployment of spies, under any circumstances, in the utmost abhorrence. Mr. WILBERFORCE censured the conductor persons, who, like the Petitioner, sought to make a livelihood by the publication of such works as " Killing no Murder." lie did not believe that the Society ever employed spies, and he would repeat what he had said on a former occasion, that if the Society discovered any person in their ser vice attempted to instigate others into the com mission of a crime, for the purpose of exposing them afterwards to a prosecution, the Society would be as anxious to reprobate such conduct as the Hon. and Learned Gentleman. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by bearing his testimony to what he described as the honourable conduct of Mr. Charles Murray, the Agent to the Consti tutional Association. Mr. lIOBIIOUSE rose to put a question to the Attorney- General with respect to the case of Mr. Benbow. Ile wished to know from the Honourable and Learned Gentleman, whether the trial of that individual was to be brought on during the sit tings after Term, or if it were not, whether any steps were to be taken to have 'him enlarged in the mean time ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in a low tone, replied, that he had sent to the A ge nt of th e A ssoc i a ti on , to desire that Mr. Benbow might be discharged to abide his trial,on the usual recognizance, and that no reragnizanze should be 'entered into for his good behaviour. After some observations from Dr.LUSHINGTON and Mr. WILBERFORCE, the Petition was ordered to be printed. SLAVE TRADE. Mr. WILBERFORCE said he understood from high au thority, that a Report had been laid before the House of Re presentatives of America respecting the mutual right of search by Great Britain and America, with a view to the better sup prefision of the Slave Trade. lie therefore moved for a Copy of that Report. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY said that he was not aware of the existence of such a document, but if it reached this country he could have no objection to the prod,uction of it. The motion was agreed to. RUSSIA N"I'A RIFF. Mr. BERNAL wished to know from the Noble Lord whe ther the result of the negociation which had been opened with Russia respecting the Tariff had yet reached this country ? The Marquess of LONDONDERRY said, that the result of the negociation had not yet reached England ; but he had reason to think that the result would be of a favourable nature. OPTHALMLC HOSPITAL Mr. 13ENNET moved, that the Evidence taken before the Opthalmic Committee should be printed. It was right that the Evidence should be laid before the House in order that the coun try might see why 4,0001. of the public money should be granted by a Committee which was not unanimous, but amongst the Members of which a difference of opinion had existed. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY said, that no part of the public money would be granted at the mere recommenda tion of the Committee. He objected to the printing of the Evi dence on the grotintl of expenee ; the expenee would amount at least to 1,0001. He believed the Honourable Member would, have acquiesced in the Committee to the grant of 3,0001. He now moved far printing papers which would cost the country exactly tba sum in dispute between him and other Members of the Committee. Lord PALMERSTON, said, that he had hop that the Report of the Committee would hazte put ah end to the disputes which this Siihject had given rise • 31r. C. FORBES said he would vote for the printing of ,the Evidence; the atcpenditure of 1,0001. would save the country the other three. Afters few words from Sir R. FEVIUSSON And Colonel WOOD, the motion was withdrawn, on the understanding that it would be brOught forward early in the next Session. TIiT CORONATION.—'FIE ARMY. The Marquis of TAyi.; , ..-rocu asked the Noble Lord opposite, if Ministers had advised the":as. Se'rnitling a large forte and about the MeirO: polls ? fie had heard" 14 . riiot error ions and un. constitutional force was now unnecessarily as-, sembled ; and he begged to ask the Noble Lord, if, when he said the people were so loyal, any larger force would he employed than was sanc tioned by former precedents ? The Marquis of LosnosnrulaY could give no answer as to former precedents. But he could assure the Noble Lord that what was done was merely for the honour of the occasion, and not because of the slightest distrust in the loyalty of the people. No man could have been better re ceived than his Majesty whenever he appeared amongst his people. The Marquis of TAVISTOCK was sorry to be troublesome, but h e b egge d t o as k , as Buona parte was now dead, and as peace and good hu mour prevailed throughout the country, as its loyalty was so fully admitted, even by the Noble Lord, whether any, and what reductions, would take place in our enormous standing army ? When we had our ally and friend, Louis XVI I 1., now in France, and the Noble Lord assured us we had every chance of continued peace at home, he did not see why the example set after the wars with Louis XI V. should not be adopted. His Majesty's Ministers had lately pledged them selves to make every possible reduction, and he trusted they had serious intentions of effecting so necessary an object. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY said, it would 1 1 be impossible to answer the Noble Lord's ques tions without going into a detail of great length. The principle of reduction was certainly recog nised by his Majesty's Ministers, and would he acted on as speedily and as largely as the secu rity of the country and our foreign possessions would allow. The Noble Lord, however, must see how extremely inconvenient it would be now to enter into a detail, which could be so much better done on a future occasion. Colonel DAVIES; hoped the contemplated re duction would take place ; and also of the Regi ments now at St. Helena. THE LATE EMPEROR NAPOLEON. Mr. BENNET said that he observed that the signature of the French surgeon in attendance on Napoleon was not to the Report of the medical persons which had been published in The Lon don Gazette, as to the cause of the death of that Illustrious Person. Ile wished to know whether the Noble Lord could state the reason of that re markable omission ? The Marquess of LONDONDERRY said, he (lid not know whether the French surgeon's name was to the Report or not. Mr. BENNET repeated that it was not. The Marquess of LONDONDERutY said, that he could not account for the cause of the omission. EDUCATION OF THE POOR. Mr. S. RICE rose to submit to - the House the motion of 1$ hich he had given notice. The House Jail for a long time been in the habit of granting large sums of money to various Charities, and amongst the rest, considerable grants had been made for the support of School Charities. Since the Union, no less an amount than 1,200,0001. had been so expended. And this money, he was sorry to say, had been spent in vain ; it had not only been vainly spent, but most mischievously. If, then, he could induce the House to go along with him in the conclusion that the exertions made to advance the progress of education had been injudiciously applied, it would also agree with him, that tl►e sooner the present School sys tem was put an end to the better. There were three establishments to which he intended to al- lude as instances of the expenditure upon the purpose of education. There was the Protestant Charity Schools, upon which 622,000/. had been expended since the Union. Then there was the Foundling Hospital, the support of which had cost half a million in the same period ; and the third was the Establishment for the Discontinu ance of Vice. This latter was solely carried on for educating children in the Protestant faith ; and had, in fact, no other obj e ct th a n th a t o f Prose- lytism ; therefore it was always viewed with the utmost suspicion by the Catholics. When we established exclusively Protestant Schools, the Catholics would make their's exclusive also ; and thus all the dissentious and animosities which operated so much against the happiness and prosperity of all, were engendered and kept alive. The Report for which it was his inten tion to move, contained in very few words the principles upon which education in Ireland ought to be conducted. It recommended that the system should he so founded, as to embrace all classes of the poor, keeping clear of the re ligious differences of the various sects, and there by embracing the whole in the great national ad vantages to be obtained. The Right lion. Gentlemen opposite had certainly interfered upon this subject; but he thought they had in terfered mischievously and expansively. For this year they had voted a burn of 100,000/. for the purposes of education in Ireland. Ile did not complain of their having done so; but let it be applied upon the principles laid down by the Corninissioners. He moved " that the 14th Re port of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into . the State of Education in Ireland be re printed." Mr. BROU6RAM concurred in the observations of his. lion. Friend, as to the injurious effects which the present system 'of education in Ireland had produced there. At present it appeared that the regulations of the public schools in Ireland had the effect of excluding Catholic. Children from them, and the consequence was, that the Ca tholics established schools, from which the chil dren of Protestants were equally shut out. In Eng land the case was in some respects different Here the Dissenters had established schools. which from their form and administration were open to all Dissenters, yet equally so to the chil dren of Churchmen, The lion. and Learned Gentleman then took occasion to go at gome length into an exposition of the principles of the measure which he Lad introduced into Parliament for the diffusion of education. He stated as a reason for his no , . pressing- the measure this Session, the existence of mach and warm controversy upon the subject, throughout the country, among Churchmen on one side, and DisSenters on the other. This controversy he regretted, but at the same time he hoped it would be servipeable to the measure, as it had centri buted very much to diffusea knowledge of th e principles upo n w hi c h hi s Bill was founded. He had attended to the various arguments that had been brought forward on - both'sides, and it would give him great pleasure if it were possible for him to steer a line which sho - nld be likely to re concile both parties. lie \ils afraid, hoWever, th`t as. yet tire differences , .sosere, tot) wide between them. The Dissenters thought that his Bill was too closely connected with the Church,—the Churchman on the other hand thought it was too little in connexion with the Establishment, and had in it too small a portion of its peculiar doctrines and tendency. Between these two contending parties, it was a matter of no small difficulty to steer an even course, yet he thought that when matters were more fully weighed on both sides, it would have the effect of having liberality on one hand met by concession on the other. It appeared through the heat of the controversy, that both sides were equally anxious to promote education, and it would only require a little more time to allow that heat to subside, and to have some matters ex plained ; and then he hoped that they might bring each other to a better understanding and to complete co-operation. That would be much more likely to be produced by discussion without than within this House ; and there fore he conceived that it would best pro mote this measure to' allow it to stand over until next Session. He would now only take leave to remind the parties how great were the concessions which each expected from the other. The Dissenter, by the Parish Rates, would be obliged to contribute to a school from which his children would be excluded, if the arguments of one side prevailed ; and on the other, the dis senter should recollect that there was a neces sary connexion between the proposed system and the Established Church. Nor should it be for gotten by the Church party that one step beyond that limit which was necessary to keep the Church safe and to render the schools prosperous would inevitably injure the Church in a vital manner. There were one or two points in the Bill which might, perhaps, be modified. The leading principles upon which it proceeded were, that there should be no peculiar Creed taught in the schools, no Liturgy introduced, no com pulsory attendance at Church. Some persons had, indeed, said 'that no provision at all was necessary for education—that, in fact, there was no deficiency of the means of education throughout the country. The returns, how ever, from the different parishes showed how delusive was that assertion. It was charged that those returns were incorrect. Be it so. Then the summer would he well employed in ascertaining their incorrectness. lie himself had little doubt of their general correctness, allowing for the increase of Sunday Schools, and other changes which had occurred since the time they were made (1818). With respect to the increase of population also, perhaps some variations might now occur. That the population of England and Wales had increased by some millions, since 1811, he had no doubt. The returns, as they now stood, showed that there were no fewer than two hundred and twenty parishes totally, desti tute of the means of education, and proportionally desirous of attaining them. This appeared from the Digest for each county; a copy of which any one who meant to turn it to account, might have sent free of postage (as being a Parliamentary paper), merely by writing to him (Mr. B.) a note for that purpose. All that he would require of the party so obtaining the Digest would be to remember that it referred to the year 1818. If, upon the fullest examination that ne could give to the subject, he should he conscientiously con vinced that any part of his plan was really pre judicial, he would abandon it. But he confessed he saw as yet no reason to depart from the fun damental principles which were sanctioned by the Committee. Mr. BRIGHT contended that the Education Bill was an attack upon religious liberty, and he hoped it would be manfully resisted by those who were interested. The Diss e nters w e re t o be taxed for the support of Schools, the Teachers of which were to be chosen by the Established Clergy, and who would teach in a manner which would be agreeable to that Clergy. The accu racy of the Returns in the Digest had been dis puted, and as it appeared, with reason, for the Sunday Schools were almost entirely overlooked. He should oppose the measure of the Hon. Mem ber for Winchelsea, as its tendency and effect would obviously be to throw the whole educa cation of the country into the hands of the Esta blished Church, to the exclusion and injury of the Dissenting interests. Mr. BROUGHAM said, he could not suffer the observations of his Hon. and Learned Friend, which were certainly made in a most candid and liberal spirit, and obviously with no other view than that of promoting calm and dispassionate discussion, to go forth without some explanation, lest it should be supposed that there was the slightest ground for the imputation which his Hon. and Learned. Friend had thought proper to cast upon the friends of this measure. His Hon. and Learned Friend had no right to assume that there existed on the part of the advocates of the measure the least disposition to do any thing in the slightest degree offensive to any one class or description of religious sects ; he begged leave to observe, that the Report was agreed to by Gen tlemen who were as strenuous supporters of reli gious liberty, and as warm friends of the Dis senting interests, many of them beine. themselves Dissenters, as persons in or out of ' that House could possibly be.—Mr. Bawler explained. Mr, BECHER. thought a Parliamentary recogni tion of the principles of the Report would aid the exertions of the Honourable Secretary for Ireland, and those Gentlemen who were endea vouring to ameliorate the system of reduction in that country. After a few words from Mr. GRATTAN, Col. 'TRENCH, and Mr. %V. SMITH, the Report was or dered to be printed. FOREIGN TRADE. Mr. WALLACE brought up the Report of the Foreign Trade Committee. lie was glad to say tl►at" it was highly probable a mode might be suggested for giving British Merchants a partici- Wien in the advantages of the Indian Trade. He trusted the East India Company would consent to the arrangement, and thus .show that they were not forgetful of the claims of British Mer chants in general.—Mr. MONEY said a few-words in defence of the East India Company.—Mr. kiLL.AcE- ex pla Med H uMk said, the-. East India Company had .often shown a spirit of libe rality ; but they generally viewed their exclu.-. sive advantages with great strictness. He thought Ministers deserved the thanks of the Country for showing a disposition to open the trade.—Mr. JOHN . Sm iTu approved the principle of a free trade.—The Repo! t was then ordered to be printed. Sir F. CINIMAN EY brought up the Report of the Committee on ll i4hways.—Ordered to be printed. THE QUEEN AND THE CORONATION Mr. Ilumt.: said, that on entering the House that evening, he had intended to submit to its consideration a motion of considerable importance; but in consequence of its thinness, he should con tent himself with merely giving notice of his in tention to bring it forward to-morrow. Though the House only adjourned over till to-morrow for the purpose of being prorogued, he trusted that there would be no objection on the part of lion. Members to meet at an earlier period than usual ; for he conceived it to be most importivit that the country should understand, before the prorogation of.l'arliament, how her Majesty wai to be placed at the ensuing coronation, and that every precaution shJuld be taken that was cal culated to prevent the peace of the capi:al freci being disturbed upon that occasion. From the peculiar nature of the court to which her :Via jesty's claim of right to appear in the coronation as part and portion thereof had been submitted, he was convinced that-- The SPEAKER called Mr. Hume to order. ff"- thought that the lion. Member must be aware that it was not consistent with the usual practice for lion. Gentlemen, on giving a notice of motion!, to enter into the grounds upon which they founded it. Whilst the Speaker was yet speaking, Sir F. OMMANEY rose and moved that the Rouse be counted. The motion, however, fell to the ground from want of a seconder. Mr. Iromt; maintained that he was correct a 5 to the point of order ; he was simply addressinJ, the House on the question of adjournment. if any of his Majesty's Ministers had been in the House, he should have felt it his duty to have gone at greater length into this subject than 1e then felt inclined to do; but being one of those individuals whom a Noble Marquis on a f or mer night had accused of having by their exeitions' risked the peace of the country, and of havifl created that irritation which had pervaded it for so many months, he could not allow himself to be placed in such a situation again as wo ild cour t him to have recourse to similar proceeding s '/ without protesting most louldty against it. Fr olll the nature of the Court to which h er Majesty'' claims had been submitted, he could not dra' c ' any favourable augury as to their decisioel though he was convinced that tier Lawyers ha" made out as clear a right for her Coroiaatiou as existed at present for the King's+ l akin i i; for granted, then, that the decision of that Court would be against the existence of the claim,. the point which he wished. to ascertain was this — whether his Majesty's Ministers intended to per' severe in their system of insulting, persecuting ,. and oppressing the Queen upon all occasions, or whether they intended to assign her a place, 44 they were in duty bound to do, among the other Members of the Royal Family at the ensui 4 Coronation. That her Majesty would attend person at that ceremonial, he entertained not the' slightest doubt : from what he knew of her spirit and resolution, he was convinced that she would be present at it, if not as a part of it, at least tv prevent the rights of future Queens Consort from being compromised and degraded in 'her persoil' It was upon that account that he now gave noti ce, that he should to-morrow sub m it t o thelfouse motion for an humbl e add ress t o his Majesty? praying that he will b e grac i ous ly pleased 1° issue such dir e cti o ns w ith regar d to the aP: proaching coron a ti o n, as w ill mee t the wishes ° I: the people, as will sec ure th e r i g ht s o f the (lo t ' t.
