§ The Speaker,on taking the chair, stated that the house having, pursuant to order, waited on his majesty, with their address on the subject of his gracious speech, his majesty was pleased to return the following most gracious answer: "Gentlemen, I thank you for this dutiful and "loyal address. Your condolence on the loss of my late brother the duke of Gloutester, affords a new proof of your attachment to my person and family. Your cordial concurrence in my disposition to cultivate at all times an intimate connection with the emperor of Russia, gives 30 me the greatest satisfaction; and the assurance of your unabated vigilance and exertion in the present posture of affairs enables me to look forward with increased confidence to such a termination of the contest as may be consistent with the safety and permanent interests of my do minions."—Lord Castlereagh, adverting to the notice which he bad given for this day relative to a vote of thanks to the officers, seamen, and marines engaged in the action off Trafalgar, stated, that as it was desirable to have a full attendance upon such a subject, he felt the propriety of postponing it to another time, when it could be discussed with more convenience to several members. The noble lord, however, intimated his intention of bringing forward this motion on an early day, and stated the probability that he should on Monday next mention the day.—Mr. Paull gave notice, that he should, on Wednesday next, move for the production of a letter from lord Melville, to the chairman, deputy chairman, and directors of the East-India Company, relative to their Indian debt, dated in June 1801. The hon. gent. also gave notice, that on Monday he should move for a few more papers relative to the transactions in Oude, and the appointment of the hon. Henry Wellesley to be lieut. governor of the provinces in Oude.
