HOUSE of COMMON S, Friday, October 27.
A report was made from the Committee appointed to draw
Up an address to his Majelty, that the Committee had drawn
up an address, which was read.
Resolved, That the laid address be presented to his Majesty
by the whole House.
Ordered, That such members as are of the Privy Council
do wait on his Majesty to know when he will be attended
therewith.
A motion being made for re committing the address, a great
debate ensued, in which mod of the principal speakers on
both sides took a very warm part. Particular objection was
made to the following clause, '' We thankfully acknowledge
the gracious considerations which induced your Majesty to
take this step" (meaning the introduction of his Electoral troops
into the garrisons of Gibraltar and Port Mahon.) Ihe gen
tlemen in opposition considered this clause as a full approba
tion of the measure, whilE the friends of Administration in
filled it was no more than a compliment to his Majeify's
« good intentions," and left the measure itfelfa matter of fu
ture deliberation. Mr. Wedderburne and Mr. Dunning had a
long conyerfation upon the different interpretations of the
clause.
