s1he Marquis of Sfaford rofe. purfuant to the
notice he had given on Wednefday laft, to fub.
nit motion to the Houfe, rejecting the con.
iequGnccs Of thu late change in his Maieftv,,
Councils. He expreaed Bis regretthat 4 mat
ter OF iuch decacy and Importance had not
'oeen taken up by ADLER hands but obferved,
that there were times and circumstances, nnder
which 1t was the duty of every noble lord in
that houie, to come forward and offer the beh
advice his Judgment could fuggeR, for the
maintenance of the public good.-It had al
wsys been his anxious win to fee that the beft
Talents abilities the country could boat of uni
tea IN rival exertion Of thofs talents for the
public welfare but he had TO lament the Iof.
OF one diitineui.hed man (dr. Pitt) at NOT
critical period of our affairs, which confder,-
bly, weakened the administration of which he
was the head. He next had the fatissaaion
oi ieeing asother Miniftry conRituted which
certainly embraced great portion of the cha
rscter, iHteSrity, and talents of the nation.
This Minifry alfo loft one of its main fippor-
tiers Mr.. Fox 3 but fill il was one from which
he expected the country would reap nS,ch, be-
nefit. That Administration had recently and
very Unexpectedly beentremoyed (: and he was
lorryto ooierve that their removal did not feem
10 DC accounted tor on any constitutional aud
tatistaGtory grounds. By this double lofs. and
lhsjsity's councils, tie affairs of the nation
were left in ftuation which he could not but
lament. Indeed, much as he lamented il, he
lad It'll more to lament the caufes that led to
that change, and the nature of the advice which
induced his majcfy to make it. For aiyifers
IN 10 criticaia mcclure his nnefy mutt un-
donbtediy had, whoever thsfe adyifcrs might
be.-(Hear, hear )--It was an excellent maxim
OF the Conititution--a facred one in his ewes
which made the perfoE of the foyerejgn inyio-
liable and which, by pronouncng he could
40 no wrong, reicued him from all refponS.
bIlityfor any public meafIre. That maxim he
waS conhdent t1eIr lordfhps would maintain,
and upon i. he would ref the neceffity Of a.
doping the motion, at leaf in part, which he
thouid have the honor of concluding with. He
truitedthat nothing that he Mould offer, would
be conitrued into perfonal difreipecf by any no
bic lord he was incapable of any thing OF
that kind, both from inclination and gratitude.
But, however great bis feiped might be for a.
| ny noble lord now in Office, his anxiety for the
fafety OF the Fate, and the PROPERTY of the
country, made him folictous to fee a more a.
bic and comprehensive administration. He
would not imPutc to any Noble and Learned
Lord the circulation of any INSTRUMENTATION
that had gone through the country, refpeaips
the conduct of the late administrator, and the
motives that influenced their difmiajon from
oilce but 1t was with forrow, and indeed
with iome Indignation, he oblerved, that many
OF theie INTERPRETATIONS had tendency to
| itIr up religious anmoiites, and difunte feye.
raj descriptions Of his Majefy's fubisds with.
out any adequate saufe whatever, and much 10
the danger and detriment of the general wei.
fare lie mott earneGIy deprecated all fueh
! pernclous attempts, which could never be ven.
tured on without hazardiDg the moR pefilou,
| consequences to the county. Various caufes
had bsen aligned for The fudden change thai
has occurred in the Administration, bot one OF
them was fulficiem, in his mind to iuaify thoie
who had been difmiIed from ofIiee. II ALTO
he thought, joRihsd him in fubmttiug the
following motion to- their Lordfilips. Tn,
Noble Marquis then concluded with moving

and liable Administration at this very impor.
