Debates Over Spanish War Policy and Address to the King
The Historical Register notes opposition to Spanish aggression and support for the king's actions. Speakers including Crages and Jekyll defend the conduct as lawful, while asking if Spain deserved conflict during its war with the Turks. Ireby’s motion carried 158 to 107 urging the resolution be presented to the king. The king’s gracious reply thanked the Commons, with peers debating treaty alignment before pledging further consideration.
