His Lordship moved , that the thanks of the House be returned to his Majesty for his gracious communication , which was agreed to .
The order-of the day for the Lords to he summoned being read , Earl Stanhope made his promised motion , which in effect was , " That the House disclaimed having any thing to do with the internal government of France .

His Lordship in his speech reprobated the language of Earl Jvfansfitk ! , who , he asserted , had said in a former debate ; " That were it possible for this country to restore monarchy to France , by paying a body of men in that country , ' m sum could be too great to be expended .

The Bishop of Rochester defended the Lord Chancellor's mode of putting the ques ^ lion , and insisted that it had met the concurrence of the House . This drew on a conversation , in which the Earl of Caernarvon , Lord Lauderdale , and Lord Stanhope took part .
