for the few days the qneftion might be poßponed,
louse engagement should at leaft be entered into that
no queßion of the fame nature fhauld be brought
forward, nor any other that might in its nature and
eonfequences produce the lame difference of opinion
that the prefent motion WAS likely to du.

Earl F.ITZWILLIAM laid, he thought, if the
motion was poflponed, fome fuch engagement a,
that mentioned by his Noble Friends near him, thould
be entered into by his l'sfajAly's Knitter,-
Lord HAWKESBIJK Y laid, he had alrcaly
more than once allured the Houle, that the reafons
which induced him to apply to the Noble Marquis
to palpone his motion to any future day to be fixed
by himfelf, were of the higheit importance ; and
that his duty would not pram him to fay mare, as
to the nature of thole reafons. He had, in add:cion
to this alfo, pledged his own pausal character, that.
there reafous were entitles! to the full weight which
be applied to them. After having done all this, he
could not but confider the determined oppofition
made by feveral Noble Lords, to the Noble Marquis's
acceding to this requell, as the at of a fad*, or
rather of a party guided by mere difference of Opi-
nion. if therefore they would not Wien to what
had been gated, he fhould trertainly be ready to en-
ter upon the cubic& of the motion. He could not
think of giving any further pledge, or of enserlog
into any fpecific engagement on the &Nell ; but he
could not conceive their Lordihips would agree to
playa flop to or throw any unstecelTary impediments
in the way of public or private bufute.fs. He bad no
doubt in his own mind, bUt that every care would be
taken in bringing forty: -d that hufinsfst to abfaio
from any thaw which would have a tendency to
create a clifcuffion that thould have a reference to the
prcfent motion, or any thing immediately connelted
with ir. ,

Lord r4ULGRAVE fupported the arguments
already ufed by. his Noble FtiMds near hint, againa
ponponing the motion, without fome filch engage-
ment as they had fo properly adverted to. He SIC'
preffed himfelfhighly indignant at the term of fadtion
which had been fo lately applied to him, and his No-
ble Friends near him. " Fa Lion ! (he oclaimed).
How caa fuel) a term be applied to us ; but becaufe
we refute implicitly to fubmit to a fallacy which we
Ihnuld be athamed to be blind to." The Noble Ile-
cretary, however, had, fence he ttfed that term, ef-
fused them that they might Mutt to a man of his
conciliatory temper and manners, aodhadindireekly
given them to underhand, that no maitre' Mould
be brought forward which wight have a teams/ to
provoke difcuftion- to which they had otisacd as me-
diately of immediately connated with the paw
motion.

Lord GRENVILLE raid, he looked on what had
fallen from the Noble Secretary of State as a virtual
acknowledgment. that no bufinefs fhould be brought
firward that was connedesi with the prefent motion,
or that might create difcutlions of a fimilar tendency,
and as he did not with to impede in any degree the
public or private bufinefs then in its pr?giefs through
the Houfa,he fhould not make the motion of adjourn-
ment to which he had alluded. nor further oppote
the poßponement of the prefent motinat.
. The Marquis of STA PFORD then Prod and,
moved, that his Motion fhould Rand fixed riciaT
neat. which was agreed m.
Earl SPENCER faid. that in confespence of what
had'fallen from the Noble Lord (Hawice(hury) be
fhould not oppofe the propels& dOay. He viewed
the declaration of the Noble Loid as amounting to
an admiffion that no public banes of importance
would take the precedence of. the motion of the Noble
l'slaiquit,, and, under this imprelSon. he had nctobjec:.
tiro that the queftion be poflponed.—The Motion
was then puflponed till Friday nett.

Lnrd 1-101fART gave notice, that on Wednrfday
next he Mould propofe a Vote of Thanks from that
'lnure to the Marquis of Wadley and the other
Officers commanding our forces in the gait Indies.
