this part of the inquiry, it was impossible to give
further elucidations. To tee Address he should I
feel no objeßion of acceding, was the Noble Lord
to modify it, either by the insertion of the words.
" such copies as His Majesty shoold think proper ;"

and fliAland being comprised in that of France.
After a few words from Lord HAII, XESBURIG,
in which he apprehended, that to confine the Ad.
dress to the communications with France, would
tend to limit the principle, and therefore he wergild
prefer the other suggestion of the Noble Lord, that 1
the words " as he shall think proper," be inserted
in the Address.
