The possession of the royal person had been long desired by both factions as of paramount importance in paving the way for the accomplishment of their respective objects but the unex pected step which the king had just taken seemed to render their pros peets for ever hopeless. But they soon found that the case was not so bad as they had imagined for the king was not only prevailed upon to order his officers to surrender the fortresses which they still retained, but to become a suppliant for peace by requesting both houses of par liament to offer him propositions for consideration.
