that deluded people who, netwithdanding all our
mcafures of lenity and forbearance, are dill the
dupes of their designing leaders. I hoped to have
congratulated you, at the opening of the fellion, on
having put an intire period to the war, and having
utterly exterminated that rebellious faction. It is
not fo —however, I am happy toimform you that
nay Generals and Admirals have wonderfully fup
potted the glory of the British name in every quarter
of, the globe.
I have thought it necessary to chastise the indo
lence of the Dutch Rcpublick, who have had the
assurance to trade to the fame parts of the world with
the faithful fubjekts of this realm, and even to trans
port their wares to their own plantations, without
our royal content. My fleets and armies have taken
from them the great and fertde diand of Euftatia ;
with infinite gallrnrry and zddrcfs they came upon
it by farprize, pierced to the very top of its rock,
and Captured the cubole guidon, confiding of at
least 5? men and much me r cbamlifr. But the great
nets of the victory is even let's than the courage and
Boldness of the enterprise, on the part of my beloved
minify, which hath shewn the petulant woild be
low that we have no law of nations but what we
aye plcafed to give. My brave Admiral, his lady
and son, I havdthought proper to make all Peers of
this realm, for this his gallant exploit, and to endow
them with honourable pensions proportioned to their
services and their new dignities. But as our ancient
and natural enemies, the French, have robbed him
of the profits of this expedition, out of which tliefe
penlions were to arise, 1 doubt not but my faithful
Commons will make provision for tliefe necefory ex
peaces, with their usual alacrity.
Ay Lords and Gentlemen,
On the tide of America, tho' the rebellion is not
yet extinguished, yet, one other campaign, and the
usual exertions of my loving fubjefts, will give us
fair hopes. We have effectually confined the rebel
armies to their own continent —they have not been
able to advance one foot into the lea, our own vic
torious troops possessing that element. Ari intripid
# General, with a chosen army, has over-run the south
ern provinces. With great prudence he took his
measures before the rebel force could be collected —
with undaunted bravery he executed them, marching
all alone through many leagues of dismal and fright
ful woods, filled with serpents and wild beads —and
with such immente rapidity, that the armed fa&ion
could never overtake him till he arrived fate at the
fide of the sea. There, indeed. I am sorry to in
form you, he loft the town of York, with its brav#
garrison, after a long and mo/l heroic defence. But if;
with the assistance of my Parliament, I ShaH be able
to put another army in the fame plan in the spring, we
Hull be just cohere we were —the provinces will have
been over-run, and our troops will be in York. The
conquest will be the fame as it was when, the last
summer, this famous city did celebrate it with such
loyal applause.
We refer you to the reasonings of our loving and
well affedej Subjects in America, to prove that if
we had saved his Lordship and his army, it would
have been our great advantage; but to have loft
them is infinitely a greater advantage., Therefore,
let our courage revive in new and more desperate
efforts: But inasmuch as we cannot spare from this
our kingdom at home, nor yet buy from Germany
men Sufficient to establish an army in every county
of the rebel provinces; and inasmuch as one army
cannot hold them all at the fame time, we recom
mend it to your serious consideration in this case to
make and provide a law —that as, in an ordinary
process, the tap of a constable or Sheriff fufficie ,
to make a man a prisoner, so, in this extraordinary
one, the palling of a body of men through the rebel
countries, or even the landing in any part of them,
fhali be en tit led aconqueft , and be fufficient grecnds to
proceed upon to re-establish our civil government
and authority there. The way of arms has been
found somewhat tedious. Let us apply to them the
omnipotence of this our Parliament. Yea, my Lords,
why need you fight when yon cun make laws ?
1 have nex to inform my faithful Parliament, that
the nations of the earth have been vainly attempting
to revolt againit our sovereign dominion ot the sea ;
and by rebellious combinations, Riled neutral con
federacies, refufing to acknowledge our undoubted
right to regulate the trade and navigation of the
world, though our excellent civilians have establish
ed a mare claufam, and demonstrated our empire on
that element, on such elearreafons as no good Englijb
mancan doubt. For as the ocean floweth all round
this illand, so, vice versa, this island hath aright to
flow-all round the ocean : And whereas they think
to elude our vigilance, and to defraud our treasury,
our royal wisdom hath thought it expedient to efta
blilh customhouse officers and admiralty judges at
proper latitudes all over the seas, to put in force
against these rebels our excellent maritime jurispru
dence in this case provided, for the greater behoof
and advantage of the commerce of these kingdoms.
Every nation flhall confefs the authority of our puif
-fant Majesty, or shall feel cur power: And I have
thoughts of calling the Emperor of China to an ac
count, and of laying an embargo upon the city of
Pekin, for not paying our duties upon tea, according
to law, to the manifeft damage of our treasury, and
, The King has seen feme of Rivington's papers
about the beginning of October last.

have it, but rcbellioufly gathering it off their own
plantations, to the great lot's of our loyal Eaft-Indi^
company.
As to the combined fleets of France and Spain,
they have not been able to extend themselves farther
than the channel. As our victorious armies have
kept the rebels from marching acrol's the ocean, ab
foluteiy refraining them to their own continent, so
have our conquering admirals kept these fleets out of
the land, and fairly obliged them to confine them
selves to the sea.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
The proper estimates tor the present year shall be
laid before you, and I doubt not but your own Yel
low feeling in the application of the supplies, will
very much help your conception of the necessities ot
the pubiick. You will never let it out of your mind,
that the people, grow wanton and rebellious, and 16
the interests of the State aider under light taxes, ac
cording to the doctrine ot tome of our good coun
fcllors. Therefore, as a wife and gracious King ought
to do, let me recommend it to you to remember the
pubitch good.
M,Loi ds and Gentlemen,
I (had recommend it to your serious consideration
to abolish religion ; we in this realm have lived so
long, and can live so well without any, that it Items
against reason for my people to pay tor a thing which
they never use, and your own prudence will luggeft
to you how great a help its revenues will be to the
growing expecces ofohr pension lilt, whether all your
eyes are not wi'hout reasonable hopes very loyally
and lovingly turned. This reverend bench will not
object to profiling as they praftile, they shall be
the firft upon the hit, and have the lame petitions
continued to them tor performing the fame firvices
which they have done these many years, eating and
drinking lor themselves, anil voting, for me. 1 doubt
rot, ah the world will approve our resolution. For
since we have abandoned Chrilt tor Epicurus, the
very fourijamg hale or inis empire, and the greatyke
cefo of our arm; and councils, fufficicutly refute the
ancient iuperftßions of qur rather about providence
and virtue. My Lords and Gentlemen, we rely on
your union and dispatch. Our beloved coulin and
treasurer will make known to you our lurcher will.
