to this also, pledged his own peronal charade'',
that these reasons were entitled to the full weigh t
which he applied to them. After having done all
this, he could not but consider the determined up-
p made by several. Noble Lords, to the Noble
Marquis's acceding to this request, as the aft of a
fa&ion, or rather of a party guided by mere difference
of opinion. If therefore they would not listen
what had been stated, he should certainly be ready
to enter upon the subjed of the motion. He coal.]
not think of giving any further pledge, .rir of enter-
ing into any specific engagement on the subjeCt ;
but he could not conceive their Lordships would
agree to put a stop to or throw any unnecessary im-
pediments in the way of public or private business.
He had no doubt is his own mind, but that every
care would be taken in bringing forward that busi-
ness, to abstain from any thing which would have
a tendency to create a discussion that should have a
reference to the present motion, or any thing imme-
diately conneeted with it.

Lo;d MULGRAVE supported the arguments
already used by his Noble Friends near him, against
postponing the motion, without some such engage-
ment as they had so properly adverted to. He
expressed himself highly indignant at the term
of taelion which had been so lately applied
to h:rn. and his Noble Friends near him. " Fac-
tion: (he exclaimed). How can such a term
be applied to us; but because we refuse implicitly
to submit to a fallacy which wo should be ashamed
to be blind to." The Noble Secretary, however, had,
since he used that term, assured them that they
might trust to a man of his conciliatory temper and
iapners, and had indirealy given them to under-
stand, that no measures should be brought t'orsvard
winch might have a tendency to provoke discussions
to which they had ohjaled as mediately or imme-
diately conneaed with the present motion.

Lord GRENVILLE said, he looked on whit had
fallen froin the Noble Secretary of State as a vir-
tual acknowledgement, that no business should be
brought forward that was connciled with the present
motion, or that might create discussions of a simi-
lar tendency, and as he did not with to impede in
any degree the public or private business then in its
progress through the House, he should not make
the motion of adjournment to which he had alluded,
nor further oppose the postponement of the present
motion.

The Marquis of STAFFORD then proposed and
moved, that his Motion should stand fixed for Fri-
day next ; which was agreed to.
Earl SPENCER urged several arguments of a
similar tendency to those made use of by his several
Noble Friends who had preceded him in the present
conversation, relative to the motion being postponed.
He condemned severely the expression of &Rion
that had been applied to him, and his Noble Friends
near him, which, he hoped, however, had been inad-
vertently used. He looked on what had last been
said by the Noble Secretary of State as a virtual en-
gagement that no discussion of any business should
be brought forward that might lead to differences
of opinion, similar to those counters' with the pee-
sent.motion, and for that reason only he should ab-
stain from any farther comment on the subjet.
On the motion of the Marquis of Stafford, the
Lords were ordered, to be summoned for Friday
next.

Lord HOBART gave notice, that on Wednesday
next, he should move that the thinks of the House
be given to the Officers who have so highly distin-
guished theinv-ives Litely ip India. On lusLordship's
motion, the Lords were ordered to be summoned
for %N ednesd.sy next.—Adjourned to tomorrow.
