HOUSE of LORDS.
T HE Lord President of the Council called the
4 attention of the house to the great fall from dig
nity, which their Lordships had fuffered the prece
ding day, in consequence of the gross insults and vi
olence offered to many of their Lordships persons, by
the riotous and unruly mob, which had assembled in
the streets, and not only interrupted the members of
that House in their way to it, and thereby prevent
ed many of them from coming to do their outy there,
but had obliged others, when the business of the House
was oyer for the day, to steal away like guilty per
sons, in order to save themselves from being facrifi
ced to the fury of a lanlefs and mislead rabble.
Their Lordships had' witnessed the insults and ill
treatment offered to the persons of several of their
Members, but still greater violences had been offer'
ed to others ; in particular, a Right Reverend Pre
late, had been flopped in the flreet, he had been for
ced out of his coach, the wheels of which were ta
ken off, and in order to save him from the danger
that threatened him, a gentleman, who lived in the
neighbourhood, received him into the house. The
mob not contented with the insults that they had al
ready offered the Reverend Prelate alluded to, had
broke into Mr. Atkinson's houfey where he had ta
ken refuge, and had deputed thirty of their own bo
dy to earch every room in the house for his person,
being determined to have possession of him, if they
any way could. Luckily the R verend Prelate, by
charging "his clothes and getting over,a wall, and
so, obtaining a paffige~through.the 'neighbouring
houses, maUe his.efcape, but undoubtedly at the pe
ril of his life. This certainly was not to be attribu
ted to religious motives, neither was it to be defended
on the ground of aversion to Popery, which was said
to be the sole cause of the people's assembling in
such large numbers, it was a d r:ng violation of law
and of the peace of the city of Westminster, which
called loudly ror the most serious and immediate in
terposition of Parliament. Before their Lordships,
therefore, proceeded to any other business, it beho
ved tnem to do something for the recovery of their
dignity, a measure which they could not hope to at
tain, without taking some effectual step towards
bringing wno caused the mob on Friday, as well as
those who were mod aftivein the lawless proceedings
of that day, to condign punishment. Another reason
why the House ought instantly to a& in that manner,
was the insult and injury done to two of the foreign
ministers chapels, one of which nas not only Grip
ped of all its contents, and those contents burned in
the street; but was itfelf set on fire and demolished ;
another was treated in a like way in the firft inflance;
and would have fliared the fame fate in the second,
but tor the timely interposition of'thofe who were sent
for its protection. If something therefore was not in
stantly done to Liew, t,.e strong disapprobation of
those insults and vi lences which the House felt, and
at the fame time to prove that their Lordships were
determined to punifli the people who were the au
thors of them, all the world would believe that the
representatives of foreign powers could not reside
fafety in this country, and that it was not in the
power 0: Government to protect either the persons,
or the property of foreign Ambassadors from insult
and injury. His Lordihip laid surmises, and indeed
something more than surmises, had gone abroad,
that other ricns and other mobs were intended • but
Government having had timely intimation of'fuch
designs, had, he trusted, taken effectual means for
preventing their being carried into execution. His
Lordihip, after other arguments, concluded with
moving;
'f'! 1 " an humble Address be presented to his
" Majesty that he will be graciohfly pleased to give
' immediate diredi ms for prosecuting in the most
" effectul manner, the authors, abettors, and in
" ftruments, of the outrages committed yesterday in
“ Old Palace Yard, Guildhall, Weftminfler, arid
places adjacent, and upon the houses and chapels
" of several of tee Ministers from foreign states."
The Duke 0 RICHMOND said, he had ho in
tention to oppose the Notion, he thought it was ex
ceeding proper, and he was very glad to find that
his Majesty's Ministers had recovered from their pa
nick, and hah at last come to a proper fence of their
duty. The preceding day they had either through
fear, or some other motive, negleCted it most repre
hensibly, and the two Secretaries of State, with tie
Lord President of the Council, had fat there, witness
es o t the insults and violence done to the persons of se
veral of their Lordships, without offering to take any
one flep whatever to put a flop to them ; nay, when
the mob were so outrageous that even the business of
the House could not go on, they had been obliged
to get the noble Lord near him to make a motion
that the Magistrates of Weftminfier might be called
to the bar; the noble Lord near him, they were
concious, had m.re popularity than themselves, and
therefore, however proper to be made, they were a
fraid to make the motion themselves, and had g t
him to make it. What had been the result of it, their
Lordships but too well knew ; the Justices who c^rre
to the bar had toll Minifiry to their faces that they
had no orders to attend, and that Government, though
the riot th t took place, was so much to be expect
ed, from the appearance of the advertisement in the
newspapers two days since, had taken no step what
ever to prevent it. His Grace repeated, that tie
cause of the present diflurbances and difeontents had
originated in Government irfelf, and that the wiiole
of Friday's business, notwithstanding what had fall
en from the noble Lord at the head of the Council
the preceding day, (of bis noh having beared among
the thousand regions awgeed by the mob in the
streets, one word about the Quebeck bill,) was ascri
bable to the Qpebeck Bill, and to that alone. The
noble L jrd had now mide a very proper motion, and
he was as ready to give due praise to Ministers w' era
their condua deserved praise, as be was determined
to reprobate and mark their condua, when it mer
ited.cenfure : he hoped however that the noble Lords
motion n^s intended to be a< practic'd measure -and
not to end in theory ; but that proper steps would
be taken to render it effectual. His Grace observed',
that in the course of his speech the noble lord had
dropped an expression which required explanation . Toe
noble lord had talked of surmises, and more than sur
mises, of other mobs rigid other riots. He Irged to
know what tiler nobte Lord infant, and he thought hp
was bound to explain himfdf, because if the words
were Littered to remain unexplained they would gp
forth to the world liable to very fire np'e intrr'°rpta
tion. ... 1
The LORD PR E 3I DEN T said, he would
most readily explain them, that he was obliged to
the noble Dulce so- calling on him for an explanati
on, and that he fhauld at all times be ready to ex
plain every thing that fell from him in that house,
because he liked [peaking out upon every fubjeft,
arid was an enemy to infatuations of all forts. .When
he mentioned the surmises of other riots which had
Reached Government, he meant to allude to intelli
gence that could be relied co, ,hich had been given
Government, of an intention to make a mob of the
opposite fide that evening, fy the purpose cf retalli
^"°"; having this timely notice of such a design,
Government he noped bad taken effectual means to
pi event it, and he flattered himfelf peace and cu : et
^ould continue. With regard to what the noble
I.xrxe had said, relative to no orders having been,
given by Government, to prevent the mob^nd the
° ''" Preceding day, be did afure the no
'°,, e "™, miittken•,orders had been given
on Inurfday, and he could with great confidence af
.ert it, because he spoke upon the authority of the
pfrfon wno carried and delivered those orders to the
J.Vlagiflrates, and he was extremely forty to fay,
5™ ^Tv^hdanding what the Justice of Peace Mr.
Weight, had said at their Lordihip' sbar the day be
fore, tnat gentleman was Acquainted with those or
ders having been sent, and had been at a house on
Friday morning, and in company where he must have
beared of them. & As to the noble Duke's fears, that
the motion would be fuffcred to remain the folm^
sure to be taken, and would not be followed up,
they were totally groundless : indigent, were al
ready drawing, (for there were fevefal persons ap-
! n !. he fa ? of destroying the Szrdi^n
Ambafudors chappel in euftody,) and those indi&-
mens would be preferred to the Grand Jury next
2 e ^ ay 'u and ^^^ ^ he had ^ doubt they
would be, the persons accused in them would be
brought to their trials the very firfl l e d u re day, that
sosf of King's Bench ihould nave to hear them.
The duKe of Richmond thanked the noble Lord
%:t<" hiCh he said was Extremely ne
"" ' ! ,^hout it, people without doors might
be induced to imagine a very different matter from
what now appeared to be the fate of the case H.
