The order of the day being read for taking into
confederation of the Hour, the •King's MeWage of
yeßerday ; and the Menage being read by the
Clerk,
Lord HODART role, sndobrerved, that after the
Meffage from his Majeßy, which their Lordfltips
had ;tilt heard, he could not entertain a doubt
but that the Addrefs, which he (Could have the
honour to propofe in conrequence, would meet
with their Lordfhips' unanimons concurrence. The
communication had announced, that preparations
in the ports of France and Holland, which were'
making at this moment, rendered it incumbent on
his Majefly to adopt certain meafures of precau-
tion ; at the fame time dig-cuffing; were now pend-
ing between this country and France, the relish
whereof was doubtful. Under tlsefe circamilanees,
r he could hardly apprehend that their Lordlhips
would not be unanimous. While there dircufGons
I were proceeding, Government wit• jußified in pre-,
paring to meet any refult. As to the particular
topics, it would be hardly fair to enter into them,
asthefe dircufflons might have an amicable termi-
nation. But while Government had fineerely at
heart the maintenance of peace, yet it Ihould have
credit afro for being prepared to meet the ahem-
live with that firmnefs which our fituation and
refources jullified. Hi, Lordfhip concluded with
moving the Addrefs, which was, as Waal, an echo
of thelalefrage, concluding with the fullell con•
currence in his Majedy's fentiments, and the
droagell afrurances of fupport.
Earl SUNCIR raid, his only view in riling was,
to fignify his entire concurrence in the Addrefs
propofed. At fo important a crifis, he trnßed
there was not a tingle Lord who would not cheer-
' fully fhed the lag drop of his blood, and contri-
bute the lag IhiWng of his money in fupport of his
King and Country. It could hardly be fuppored
but that he thould approve the prefent 'mature, at
the fame time he llsould have felt more fatisfaaion
had he been told what was the prefent fituation
of France, which had produced 14 rudden an al.
teration in the conduet of Miniders. He had long
been convinced, that the prefirvation of Peace de-
pended much more upon meaftwes of vigour and
firmnefs. than of concelGon, of which too much
had been thews. He would not then prefs to I
know what were the particular grounds of the
Illeafares now alias upon; he was long fulficiently
aware there was ample canto for them, but they
ought to have been adopted much earlier. He
would be the fire to hail thole meafures now, as
the only chance of falvation that remained for us.
Under circurnftances of fuck magnitude he could
not help riling. He hoped the difpofition, which
had been jug evinced. would continue; be would
fay nothing that Should cloud the bufiners, but
would fupport the Addrefs, as the only meagre
for our fecnrity.
Lord Gwent., °Wired, that he Co folly co•

Nsbls friend, who had jab Cat down, that he
