Majesty to take the necessary steps Tor securing
the immediate passing OF reform by sutheieht

Res;gnofion of Minister'S Earl Grey, after
he had named the quarters from whence ne held
the ne,itions in his hand, said Now, my Lords,
after what rassed in this House on Monday night,
and the result of that nights debate, your Lord
ships will probably be prepared tor the lniorma'
ton which it is now my duty 10 give. Inc re-
suit of that decision certainly was such as to re-
duce me TO the alternative, either, IN conjunction
with my colleagues, of at once Withdrawing our
selves from his Majesty's service, or OF tender
inc to his Majesty our advice. which then appear
ed justified by the necessity of the case, to take
such means as might insure the success OF the
Reform Bill now before your Lordshlps' or IN
the event of that advice being refused, to tender
humbly and respectfully our designations. My
Lords, the last alternative we, after much con-
sideration, adopted. We offered that advice to
his Majesty which we thought our duty IN the
circumstances Of the times required, and he mas
grac'ousy accepted on, resgnaonsat the same ne

we have been in his Majesty's Councils ana
during which we certainly have received from
{ Majesty a confidence and support, for which
