THAT while the house acknowledges II.
beneficial effects resulting from the serv;css
of his royal highness the duke OF York d~r
ing the time Of his being commando !,

regret that in consequence Of a conneI;on
most immoral and unbeooming, a p.rniciouS

Lord Fo!sstone gave notice Ola motion
relative to the dake OF York, on the 4 7th OF
Next month
The duke Of York has taken very pro
I per and judicious step in resigning and
,ve trust there is no intention Of re-instatinS
him in his situation. Ii,Gs we think his
maiesty's ministers should STAKE distinctly
to the heuse-they should accompany the
notification that he has resigned with de-
claration that there is nc intention Of restoI'
ing him.
1t struck us,as soon as we heard ot the
resignation, that the house was still bound
to record something against his roy! hIB0,
ness, after having recorded such body u
evidence: for it would scens strange tn"
the only votes on the subject should be i9f
-acquittal in. the face of sl.ch evidence,
seemed necessary that the character OF the
house, its consistency, shouldbs maintained
Lord Althorpe's motion does in some inca
sure, accord with. our wishes and tn0uGnt
an amendment has been made to 1T II WILL
still appear upon the journals that the tlerss
did not think it necessary to proceed iur'NS1
because his royal highness had resigned
