In general the Peres feems rq ways fatisfied tsptain Pacha's condudl and opera tions, and his reitera^ljj^li^nanda for reinforcement amazes them. Knowing with whail^^Mrong force he failed, they cannot com prehend how he can be To weak, partlculaiiy if it is true, that he only Icll two Urg^ and fome fma'l ones and Hoops.

Ide is the Nuncio of Braclaw, and his propofition was, that they fhould melt their church bells into cannon. His motion was received with univer- fal difapprobation, and if it had not been withdrawn, would have been ne gatived in the ufual way of that alfem- biy, by the death of the mover. Lord Malmefbury is faid to be at prefent bufily employed in negociating between Denmark, Sweden, and Rui- ha. On the 18th of Odfober laft his Lordfliip arrived at Liege from the Hague; it was thought he was going to Paris, but after having Hayed two days at Liege, he far out for Aix-la- Chapdlc, on his way to Frankfort, where an Envoy from B^^iTin was to meet him.

His lordlhip then moved, that this account of his majefty’s ftate of health be reftered to the conftderation of a committee, which was agreed to. Whenever a regency is fettled, a- nothcr point will come before parlia ment, viz. the guardianfkip of the King’s perfon—Three guardians will be appointed, namely, the Queen, the lord chancellor, and the Arch- bilhop of Canterbury. On the firft idea of a joint regency, the Queen was afkcd, wheihcr her name might be inferted in it, to which flic gave for anfwcr, that fhe wifhed to decline taking any part in public affairs.
