Lord Muigrave (he house having been
resumed moved the order ofthe day, ,has
the lords be summoned, which being read,
his lordship stated that he had made the
motion for the purpose of ensurng a full
attendance. He was sorry that it had not
been attended with better effect; for the
few observations which he thought IT MS
duty 10 offer to the house, would In MS
opinion tend TO facilitate the discussion
that must shortly take place, on the papers
which he had LAID by his majes'y's com.
mand, on their lordship's table few days

merous as he expected, he would not on
the present occasion, take up much OF their
lordships time. The treaties which ne hat
laid on the table were now in possession OF
their lordships, and they were competent
to Judge, whether they deserved the harsh
epl,hets which had been applied TO them
out Of doors. The principal, indeed al'
mos, the sole object, for which MS ma]e''

was to endeavor to ye-establlsh the seeun'

this great purpose force of 100000 men
