HOUSE of COMMONS.
Tuesda Y, June 6. -,
THE House refblved to grant his
Majesty on© million in case of any
emergency during the recess.
• Mr. Buller, tfter making some obferva
tioris on the prefect alarming commotions,
moved that the House resolve, ;
I. That it is an high and dangerous
breach of the privilege of parliament to
infuh, interrupt, or attack the members
coming to attend their duty in that House.
. 11. That a.committee be appointed,to
inquire into, the outrages committed in the
iate'tumults, arid to difeover the authors,
promoters and abettprs thereof.-, „
111. That an humble address be pre
footed to his Majesty, praying that he
would be graciously pleafcd to direct his
Attorney General to commence and carry
on a profeeution against foch persons as
were in euftody, charged with destroying
the property and breaking into tHe houi °
fes and chapels of foreign Ministers 'and^
others. j
IV. That his Majesty would be graci
ously pleased to cause comperifation to be°
readetothofe foreign MLifters and others,
whose property had been injured in the
gid riots, and to assure his Majesty, that
the House of Commons would make pro
vision for the fame. : ,
These fevefal motions met almost the
general approbation of the House, and
were carried without a division. ,
Mr. Burke, Mr. Fox, Sir George Saville,
and Mr: D^% were very severe against
those who were capable of railleading the
people to the commission of such violent
outrages, and censured government for
the Relaxed state of the police which
could no longer protest even the legisla
ture itfelf from violence. Mr. Fox said
the violence of the riots would degrade
us in the eyes of all Europe, for the
world would fee that the present admi
niftfation were incapable of governing the
ftal&
Lord George Gordon being observed f@
have a blue cockade in his hat, Mr. Her
bert said that he could not fit and vote in
that House, while that noble Lord wore
an enfigri of rict in his hat. Lord George s'
friends mterpofed here, and took his coc
kade out of his hat hy force. ~
Lord George Gordon said, that if the
House would appoint a day to difeufs the
b^finefs, and promise to do it to the fa
■&Rion of the people, he made no doubt
.#they would disperse. 1 hurfday tne
^ffticn6 are to be taken into consideration.
HOUSE of COMMONS, May .
About half past five, Governor Pownal
moved for leave to bring in a bill <' to
enable the King to make a convention or
tfuce, or to conclude a peace with the
Colonies on terms convenient and necef
farv,&c. He stated previously his un
wiilingnefs to offer such a motion, unless
upon i,eadingjt tothe Floufehefhould ob
serve a disposition to receive and adopt it.
He took notice also of the mifeliief at
tending debates on such topics, unless
they tended to something certainly ufeful,
and therefore declined enlarging further
on the lubjed till he should bring in the
bill, &e.. , .
N He was feeonded by Mr. Dempfter,
whe, among other topics, pointed out the
aukward situation of conducing 10 great
a war, in which no person could eptef
the iuand to propose or ccnfult upon
terms of peace, without being liable to
be fejzed as a criminal..
„ The Speaker then put the queftipn,
which seemed likely to pals without any
dissent, -1
.•.When Mr. Eden, who had just enfered
the House, defied to. remark, that the
propriety of the measure proposed would
depend entirely on the tenor of the bill it
feff; he hoped therefore the movers would
enter into fomederail of the elaufes of their
proposed bills,-which otherwise might be
either wife of^unwife, beneficial or mis
chievous, in the highest extreme: The
title alone was net a- fufficient light to
guide the judgment of the House; it was
calculated to cover every proportion re.
IpedmgAmerican politics, that could o€-
cur to the. mind of any man.
Gov. Pownall, in Rating the grounds
of the propbfitipn which he offered to the
^oufe on Wednesday, the 2,th, prefaced
what he had to offer, by observing. That
as the Proportion, which he Should make,
was confined to a single unmixt question,
whether the Crown had power to make
truce, or to enter int® convention, or to
conclude peace with the Americans, un
der the predicament in which they flood,
he should not on this oevafion enter into
any of the topics which had been the usual
points of eontfoverfy in the House on
this fubjed. He was convinced, that,he
agitating those matters l,d done much
mifchief, and that the bringing for
ward Propositions of Conciliation, which
must from.tbe forms of our Constitution
(when openly made in Parliament) receive
a negative, and which must always be
pregnant with the most dangerous conse
quence. He should not, he said, bring
forward into difeuffibnany of those points
of right or power which each party a'ter
rtately thought they should maintain on
one hand, and that their enemies ought
to concede on the other.
He should not make any Propositions
cf Treaty. The House of Commons is
