To tie Prince Regent on the nezv
tfnfion.

Mr.. Worthy, from the transactions of the
last weeks bad been Induced to move an
address to the Prince Regent. He wished
to cypress the sense Of Parliament that the,
government formed since Mr.. Perceval's
death was such as could not expect to pos
sess the confidence Of the House and of the
nation. The negotiation with Lords Grey
and Grenville had, as it ought, come to
nothing. Mr.. w. then moved, That an
humble address be presented to the p. r..
thanking H. X. Highness for his gracious
answer 10 the address of the House of Com
mons and lanenting that his endeavors 10
form an administration on an extended ba-
sis had failed : but hoping that II. II. n.
would avail himself of an opportunity which
might occur OF giving additional strength to
his government"
Lord Mifon moved to amend the resoIu-
ton, imploring the Prince Regent no long
" or to defer forming such an administration
&c would be AZ once entitled to the sup
port Of Parliament and the Country"
For the amendment, j6.t
