In the Irish parliament held during the summer, the duke of Ormond and the majority of the peers supported the tory interest, while the commons expressed the warmest attachment to revolution principles.

The duchess of Gordon presented the faculty of advocates with a silver medal, representing the chevalier de St.George; and on the reverse the British islands, with the motto "_Redditte._" After some debate, it was voted, by a majority of sixty-three voices against twelve, that the duchess should be thanked for this token of her regard.
