§ — The Chancellor of the Exchequer brought down a message from his majesty, for which see the proceedings of the house of lords. As soon as the message was read from the chair, the right hon. gent. gave notice, that he should move on Friday next, that his majesty's most gracious message be referred to a committee of supply, not imagining that on that day it would provoke much debate, as the subject matter of the message was likely to occupy much of the next day's discussion.
§ Mr. Fox was ready to allow that much of what the message referred to might very likely come under discussion the next day, but not so entirely and distinctly as when the right hon. gent. intended more immediately to submit it to the consideration of the house. It was therefore his opinion, that the more proper moment for entering into a discussion of the message, would be on the motion that the speaker do leave the chair.—Adjourned.
