PRAYERS.

Partition Treaty, State of Facts concerning.

The House went into Debate, pursuant to the Order Yesterday, concerning the Treaty of Partition.

And it being proposed, "That it appears that there were Powers, dated the First of July, to treat with the Emperor, the Dutch and French Ministers, for securing the mutual Friendship upon Terms most suitable to the Circumstances at that Time; and we are informed, that accordingly there was some Progress made in that Negotiation: But afterwards there were new Powers granted, the First of January, to treat with the French and Dutch Ministers only; and the Treaty for the Partition of the Spanish Monarchy was concluded without the Emperor:"

And, after Debate thereupon,

This Question was put, "Whether the said Proposal shall go to the Committee, to be One of the Heads for the Address?"

It was Resolved in the Negative.

Protest against rejecting the Heads about excluding the Emperor, in the Address upon it.

"Dissentient Normanby.
Nottingham.
Abingdon.
Granville.
Weymouth.
Guilford."

Then it was further proposed,

French King's accepting the King of Spain's Will, a Violation of the Treaty:

That it appears, that the French King's Acceptance of the Will of the King of Spaine, is a manifest Violation of the Treaty; and humbly to advise the King, that, in all future Treaties with the French King, His Majesty do proceed with such Caution, as may carry along with it a real Security."

After Debate thereupon:

is Question was put, "Whether the said Proposal shall go to the Committee, to be One of the Heads for the Address?"

It was Resolved in the Affirmative.

Protest against that Head.

"Dissentient.

"1. Because it may be construed to be an Approbation of the Treaty, which (as we conceive) was not intended by the House.

"2. Because it is impossible to know the full Meaning and Extent of real Security.

"Nottingham. Normanby.
Rochester.
Abingdon.
Granville.
