report of , the Address.
On the question that it should be brought up,
Sir It. llgnost rose to oppose the motion.—
Considering the situition of the country, he
thought the..klonse could do nothing more im-
proper than

sorb an Address. Our ancestors,' in such a'state
of things,,' wbald have gone to the Throne, not
with an Address of Thanks, but with Petition of,
grievances,
