sult of this examination will be presented to the

. gosse, Marquis d'Aramont, Viscount Digeon, the

, nostein, Count de la Tour-Maubourg, and Count

of the sth March, for creating 60 new Peers, has
been generally regarded as a wise, beneficent, and
s rlutary measure. It has contributed to dissipate the
apprehension excited by the proposition of the Mar-
quis Barthelemy._ _ .

cided the question of formality in favour of the Peti-

tom, than to inquire into the truth of its.allegatioas.

in Parliament—That the lion. George Lamb, Johu
Cam Hobhouse, Esq. and William Cartwright, Esq.'

Lamb declared to be elected but that the said Geo.
Lamb did give money, meat, drink, entertainment,
and provision, and make presents, and enter into
promises and obligations, with several persons so
having a right to vote at the said election, in order
to secure him, the said George Lamb, Esq. to be
elected to serve in the present l'arliamca, contrary
