could not help observing, that by what trans.
plied that day, it appeared dint unforeseen circum.
stances, as alluded to .by a Noble Friend of his,
had actually happened, which it was proper the
Public should be informed of, and, at the earliest
opportunity, through the medium of Parliament,

he should be able, on Friday next, to bring.forward
a Motion on the subject.

suming, ordered the Report to be received to-
morrow.
