PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY, JANUARY *3.

About half part twelve o'clock the LORD CHAN-
ciLLoa, &c. came down to the Houfe, and fhort-
ly after prayers being read, the Archbilhop of Can-
terbury, the Lord Chancellor, and Lord Walling-
ham, as his Majefty's Commiffioners, took their
feats upon the Bench, for the pnrpofe bf declar-
ing the Royal approbation of the Speaker of the
oute of Commons.
Sir Paastcis MOLYNROX,Bart.Gentleman Mee
of the Black Rod, was deputed to order the atten-
dance of the Commons ; who Shortly after appear,
ed at the Bar with their newly-chofen Speaker, the
Right Hon. HENRY ADDINGTON, at their head,
Vito addreffed the Lords Commiffioners aSfqllows
" MY LORDS;
" His Majefty's moll dutiful and loyal fubjals,
the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, in Parliament tffembled, have,
in obedience to his Majefty's commands, and ac-
cording to their undoubted right,proceeded to the
elation of one of their Members to be their Speaker,
and I have now the honour of appearing before
your Lordfhips as the objet ft of their choice.
" The fentiments of gratitude with which I am
impreffed on this occafion, cannot fail to be ac-
companied by the utmoll anxiety, left the mark
of kindnefs and partiality with which I have
been honoured Should in any degree endanger
the dignity and interefts of thofe by whom it
has been conferred. It now rifts with the wif•
dom of his Majefty either to enable his Coma
mons to proceed to another Elation, or to con-
firm that which has taken place by his Royal
approbation."
rim -LORD CHANCELLOR Paid, that he was corn-
manded by the King to allure Mr. Addington,
that the choice of a Speaker which had been made
by his Commons, met with his entire and perfat
approbation, and that his Majefty had no doubt
but that they would experience great convenience
and advantage from fuch au eledion.
The SPEAKER then [aid,
" MY Loans,
" The fanaion with which his Majefty has been
pleafed to confirm the choice of his Commons,
demands the moll refpeflful and grateful ac-
knowledgment of the perfon whofe humble en-
deavours in the performance of his duty have
been thus accepted and approved. I truft that
my condo& will ever be governed by a deep
fcufe of the importance of the truft committed
to my charge, and by a fixed determination to ex-
ecute it to the heft ofmy judgment, and with aria
and undeviating reflitude. Whatever may be my
failings and imperfalions, I have to rely on tkat
indulgence which his Majefty has ever manifefted
to unintentional error : at leaft, I mutt entreat
that they may be attributed to myfelf only, and in
no degree to his faithful Commons. That they
may be better enabled to difcharge their duty to
his Majefty and their country, I do in their name,
and on thcir behalf, by humble petition to his Ma-
jelly, lay claim to all their ancient rights and pri-
vileges, particularly that their perfons, elates, and
Servants may be free from arrefts and all moletta-
tion ; that they may enjoy liberty of fpeech in'
their debates; that they may have access to ,his
Majefty's Royal perfon whenever occafion may re-
quire ; and that all their proceedings may receive
from his Majefty the molt favourable interpreta-

To which the LORD CHANCELLOR replied, that
the experience of Mr. Addington's conduEt in the
Chair for three fuccellive Parliaments, was to the
King the Curet pledge of his following the fame
again, with no lets credit to Willa* than advan-
tage to tinfe who defied him, and tb the Country
at large : and that he had it in comnilnd from his
Majeay to affiire Mr. Addington, that his Ma-
jelly had the molt implicit reliance on, and confi-
dence in his wifdom and virtue. He added, that
the Commons might rely on the continuance of a
perfea enjoyment of all their ancient Rights and
Privileges.
