"The tempest, for, towards morning, debate there was none, at last ceased." The question was put, and Mr.Flood's motion for reform in parliament was negatived by a very large majority.

The House of Commons then entered into resolutions declaratory of their fixed determination to maintain their just rights and privileges against any encroachments whatever, adding that it was at that time indispensably necessary to make such a declaration.

Further, an address was moved, intended to be made the joint address of Lords and Commons to the throne, expressing their satisfaction with His Majesty's Government, and their resolution to support that government, and the constitution, with their lives and fortunes.
