§ Commons' Amendment considered (according to Order).
§ THE EARL OF DERBYmoved that the Commons' Amendment be agreed to. He regretted that the other House should have 2154 adopted this Amendment, by which the operation of the Bill was limited to one year. At the same time, it would be very inconvenient upon the ground of that alteration to disagree with the Commons, for then the Bill might probably be defeated altogether. Moreover, during the year an opportunity would be afforded of communicating with the Government of France, and arranging the terms of the renewal of the former treaty, or of any new treaty which might be thought expedient.
§ Commons' Amendment agreed to.
§ House adjourned at half past Five o'clock, to Friday next, One o'clock.
