Admiral Keppel and Mr Fox shape the tone as peers critique Hillsborough, North, and the administration, while Ireland, America, and foreign alliance loom over the tense session.
The report notes Temple Luttrell on a speech of about an hour criticizing ministers and a mocked royal address. He praises the board of trade as now consisting of authors and argues against the printed rehearsed speech. Mr. Lifer supported the amendment, with the division showing 134 for and 233 against.
Dated November 21 letters from Holland and Paris reach November 27. Brest accounts state the Spanish squadron under M. de Cordova has failed. Normandy and Brittany ports report orders for troops to winter quarters were countermanded and officers and soldiers remain at posts with provisions loaded on transports.

The Lord Chancellor reported the previous day’s proceedings and an address for proclaiming measures to apprehend those obstructing passage to the House. Lord Mountmorres urged free trade and a committee to review the state of the nation, proposing to take the matter into consideration in three weeks.
