ing the affairs of a state.
Sir George SaviPe spoke on the fame fide, blamed
the rioters and ministers alike, and remarked that it
was not a little lingular in the present mobs, that
they should equally dired their violence against the
friends and enemies of liberty.
Mr. Herbert observing Lord George Gordon with
a blue ribbon, declared that he could not fit and vote
in that House at 3 moment whilst he saw a noble Lord
in 1 it, with an ensign of riot in his hat.
Lord George's friends interposed upon this, and
Mis Lordihip not being willing to take out his cock
ade, they in a manner forced it from him.
M% reining spoke nearly the fame sentiments of
Mr. Burke and Mr. Fcx, condemning the mmijlry,
Majesty, praying that he would be graciously pleased
to direct his Attorney-General to commence and car
ry on prosecutions against such persons as were in cus
tody, charged with destroying the property & break
ing into the houses and chapels of the Foreign Mini
sters and others.
IV. That his Majesty would be graciously pleased to
cause compensation to be made to those Foreign Mini
sters and others, whose property had been injured in
the said riots, and to assure his Majesty, that the House
of Commons would make provision for the fame.
These several motions met almost the general ap
probation of the House, and were carried without a
cilvifion.
'Mr. Burke made a very animated speech upon the
alarming and dangerous proceedings of the populace.
He was extremely severe against those who were ca
pable of misleading the people to such violent outrages
against the laws and confutation of their country, as
well as against reason, justice, and humanity, and he
dealt his censure with vehemence against government
for that relaxed Rate of the police which could no
longer prote<ft even legiilature itfelf from violence and
insult at their very gates. In short, he felt so much
for the debated dignity of Parliament at that moment,
that he loft all temper, and bitterly lamented the fate
of such times, when those who pretended to be the
advocates of freedom, were eftabliihing the molt
wretched slavery, and exhibited the unhappy profpett
which was then at their gates — a bludgeoned mob, and
an armed soldier, ! He lamented in the most melan
choly terms, the dreadful necessity that obliged the
military power, the notorious bane of liberty, to be
called in to defend not only the freedom, but the
very existence of Parliament !
Mr. Fox also lamented the necessity of calling in the
afliftatice of the military, which he attributed fokly
to the weak administration of public affairs. He re
probated in terms equally warm as those of Mr. Burke,
the promoters of the riots —the violence of which
wouM degrade us, he said, in the eyes of Europe;
for the world would fee that those men who were at
the head of administration were incapable of govern-
the mpfary, and the mob. It was the general opi
nion of the House, as well as the Gentlemen, that no
# acl ofthat House could be legal which was agreed to
whllft the House was beset with thefoldiery, and a mob.
General Conway, upon the above ground, and to
preserve the dignity of Parliament, moved,
That this House will, as soon as the tumults sub
side which arc now subsisting, proceed immUd^itcly
to the due confidcration of the ieveral petitions pre
sented to this House from many of his Majesty's Pro
teflant fubjeds, and take the fame into their serious
deliberation.
Lord G. Gordon said, that if the House would ap
point a 'day to difeufs the bufintfs, and promise to do
it torthe fatisfadion of the people, he made no doubt
but they would quietly disperse.
Eif Fletcher Norton lamented the loft dignity of
Parliament. Many other members delivered their
lentimehts; fame were for an adjournment till the
Hbufe could proceed to business without being awed
by any power, either of the crown or the populace.
Others thought an adjournment at such a time would
be more injurious to the cignity o f the House than any
other mcafure they could take; but whit was to be
dene) Bludgeon; terrified some, and bayonets alarmed
others ; but-it was the general opinion of the Houle
to alburn till to-morrow.
They then adjourned to Thursday, when the above
petitions will be taken into consideration.
LONDO N, June 6.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Al Otwithftanding the alarms of particular members
on account of the multitude, who filled up all
the avenues to the House yesterday, about two hun
dred members attended in their places.
Mr. Buller made several observations, as well upon
the alarming conduct of the populace, as the mea
sures which had been taken by government to pre
vent the dangerous effects of the popular outrages ;
after which he moved four resolutions to the follow
ing effect :
I. That it is a high and dangerous breach of the
privilege of Parliament to insult, interrupt, or attack
the members coming to attend theirduty in that House.
11. That a Committee be appointed to enquire into
the outrages committed in the late tumults, and to
discover the authors, promoters, and abettors thereof.
111. That an humble addiefs be presented to his

injurious to his character, refpeding his conduft
whilst on duty in June last at Springfield.
In justice to the above Gentleman, I inform the
Public, his behaviour on that tour of duty was un
exceptionable, and he was dismissed with reputation.
Col. Taylor has repeatedly served under my com
mand, and I ever found him an active, spirited, at
