leave elected you : and His MAJESTY has command-

p: .ft, have humbly to intreat that any involuntary
error which may be committed by me, may be im-
puted to me only, and not to His Majesty's loyal

MOLYNEUX, Gentleman Usher .of the Black
1 d, sum-1 ) a the House to at:end in the House
cf. Peers to hear His Majesty's Coinmission read.
On the rettlrn of. the Se E AKER, he stAted, that it
was his duty to accrtint the house that. they had
been in the Floosc of Pcers, where the Lords, au-
emrised by virtue of His :siojesty's Commission,
had signiFed His Majesty's aiTrobation of the pro-
ceedings of that i louse. He had there, in the name

lir ion, for themialves, their Sr rvanzs, and their
Free access to his Majesty's presence, as

occasion should require ; and that all their proceed.

which claims His Majesty had been graciously
pleased to confirm by his Commissioners, in as full
and as ample a manner as they had ever been grant-
ed by His Majesty, or any of his Predecessors—
He had now only to observe, that in entering upon
this important Office, it was his duty to return his
acknowledgments for this great mark of their
confidence—it was also his duty to remind the
House, that the dignity and authority of their
proceedings must he maintained by a dne observance
of the Rules and Orders of Parliament, most of
which demonstrated their own importance and uti-
lity, and all of them would appear, upon examina-
tion, to be founded upon the same pradical wisdom.
The first proceeding would be for the Members to
take the Oaths and subscribe the Declaration—and
he begged the House would preserve Order while
Gentlemen were taking the oaths.
The SPEAKER was then sworn, after which
Mr. LEY proceeded to call over the names of
the Members, taking the Counties alphabetically,
and the oaths were administered to several Mem-
bers. At a quarter before five o'clock the House
adjourned till to-morrow.
