§ Lord Stopford reported to the house, that his Majesty, having been attended with their Address of Friday last, was pleased to receive the same very graciously, and to give the following Answer; "Gentlemen; I return you my thanks for this loyal Address. I receive with the greatest satisfaction the assurances of the continuance of your support, and of your determination to lose no time in considering of the best measures for augmenting the Regular Army; it affords mc a fresh proof of the just sense which you entertain of the importance of the present exigency, and of your zeal to exert yourselves for the honour of my crown and the safety of my dominions".—Lord H. Petty gave notice, that it was his intention to submit to the house a motion on the subject of the Convention of Cintra this day fortnight.—Mr Ponsonby gave notice of a motion on the conduct of the War in Spain for next Thursday fortnight.—Lord Folkestone wished to put a question to ministers, in order to ascertain whether the member for Poole (Mr. Jeffery) had received the appointment of the Consul Generalship to Portugal or not? He was anxious to acquire this information, for two reasons; first, because he understood that if that member had been so appointed, he of course vacated his seat; and next, that a very studious silence was observed by ministers on the subject; indeed, the usual mode of communication was neglected. The Chancellor of the Exchequer replied, that he believed that if the appointment alluded to had not taken place, it was most certainly in contemplation. The right hon. gent, in whose immediate department that appointment was, would, he believed, be shortly in his place, and from him he was sure the noble lord would get a distinct answer.
