Lordi,

" His. Majesty's most dutiful and loyal Sub.
ce jeas, the Commons of the United Kingdom of
" Great Britaitl and Ireland, in Parliament as-
" semble.d, haVe, in obedience to His MAPES-
" Commands, and according to their un..-
" doubted right, proceeded to the election of one
" of their Members to be their Speaker, and I
" have now the honour of, appearing before your
" Lordships as the objets of their Choice.
" The sentiments of gratitude with which I
" am impressed on this occasion, cannot fail to
," be accompanied by the utmost anxiety, lest
the' Mark kindnesi and, partiality with
which I have been honoured, should icy any de..
gree endanger the: dignity and, interests of
f‘, those by, whom it has been conteryed. It now
rests with' the wisdom of His MAJESTY either
" to enable his Commons to proceed to another
"-Elettion, 'or to confirm that which bas taken
" place, by his Royal Approbation."
The LORD PRANCE LLOIt said, that he was
, •
commanded by the KING to assure Mr. ADD INC.
'TON, that the choice of a Speaker which had been
made by his ConnonS, met with his entire and
perfed approbation ; and that His MAJESTY had
no doubt but . that they would experience great
'convenience and advantage from such an eleCtion.
The SP EAX E R then said,. . ,

" My Lords,
" The sanaion with which Ms MAJESTY
has been pleased to confirm the choice of His

Commons, demands the most respestful and
grateful acknowledgment of the person whose
humbk endeavours in the, performance of his
duty have been thus accepted and approved.
I trust that, conduft will ever be goyern.
cd by a deep sense of the importance of the
trust committed to my charge,and by a fixed
determination to execute it to the best of my
judgment, and with strict and undeviating rec..
titude. Whatever may be my failings and
imperfeftions, I. have to rely on that indul-
gence which tilts MAJ my has ever manifest-

Cit to unintentional error : •at least, I must
" entreat that they may be attributed' to myself
". only, and in no degree to his faithful Commons.
" That they may better enabled to discharge
" their duty to His MA, sary and their Coun.
", try, Ido in their name,' and on their, behalf,
44 'by humble Petition to }lts MAJESTY9.I4
" -claim to all their ancient Rights and Privileges,
" particularly that their. Persons, Estates;-"iiiid.
" Servants, may be free from arrests and all mo.
lestation ;. that they . may enjoy liberty of
" Speech in their Debates that they may have
" access, toHts IVIAJ gsTy's Royal Person when.
ever•occx,ion may require; and that all their
" Proceedirrgs may receive from His MAJESTY
" the most favourable interpretation."

To which the LORD CHANCELLOR replied,
that the experience of Mr. ADDINGTON'S condud
in the Chair for three successive:parliaments, was
to the KING , the surest pledge of his following
the same again, with no less credit to himself
than advantage to those who eletled him, and
to the Countty at. large : and that he had it in
command frOm His MAJESTY to assure. Mr. AD.
DINOTON) that lits,MamTY, had the most im-
