bandit, that as soon as his Majesty's capacity for
office should be restored, the benefit of that rebtera. I
tion might be cojoyed. The Right lion. Gentle. I
man ought to declare his intentions on this.and
many other points. Unless such an explanation
were given, the House w "ild be entrapped, and
called on to determine in the dark upon this great
and momentous question, agitated at the most mo-
mentous crisis of the British history. The opinions.
which he (Mr. Adam) entertained on this subject,
in the years 1788 and 1789, were well known. In
those opinions he had been confirmed, upon the
most mature deliberation. He was persuaded that
the only true constitutional form of effecting the
desired object was by address; and he was likewise
persuaded, that every attempt to Inuit the Rqyal
Authority, when that authority had been given for
the benefit of the people, was a gross violation of
the Constitution.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
observed, that the Honourable and Learned Gen.
tleman must sorely have forgotten what lie (the
Chancellor of the Exchequer) had said. Ile had
merely declared, that on Thursday he would state
to the House a proposition, which it was his Wien.
then to submit to them ou a subsequent day. What
was there in this like entrapping, or wishing the
House to come to a conclusion in the dark ?
If the Honourable and Learned Gentleman dif.
feted from him as to the time of the notification,
he was sorry fur it ; but having of course
weighed the propriety of the time which ho hud
mentioned, before ho had mentioned it, it could not
be supposed likely that he would depart from his
original intention.
Mr. WHITBREAD expressed his astonishment,
if the Right Honourable Gentleman were in pos.
session of the plan which he intended to propose,
that he should think lie had done enough in haw-
ing given his notice. The only solution which oc-
curred to him was, that the Right Honourable Gen-
tleman had not exactly made up hit own Mind as to
the propositions which it was his intention to subniit
to the House.

The question was then put, and agreed to.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER;
having declared it to be his determination to make
the call effectual, moved that the order for calling
over the House on Weduestlay be postponed to
Thursday. Ordered.
Adjourned to Thursday.

Mr. LorgLL, with the most unfeigned gratitude,
requests to return his heartfelt thanks to hit
numerous Friends, who have honoured him with
their kind enquiries as to his health, and their
commiseration for his present unexpected,
and, as he conceives, unmerited confinement;
and to those (previously unknown to him) who
have, in common with the universal sen-
timents which ho is led to believe pervades
the kingdom, as to his SENTSNCE) favoured him
with their enquiries, he begs to•make his best
acknowledgments.
His Country is his 4z.l..—While life remains, his
every moment shall be occupied in endeavouring
to save it from irretrievable ruin, by assidu-
ously endeavouring, at ANY RISKS to expose
Corruption wherever he can find it, andto point
out to his beloved Countrymen the dreadful evils
they have to apprehend from the continuance of
the present system..
STATE GAOL, Newgate. Dec. 15, 1910.
