fevereigns, at firft by the clandestine supply of arms,
aid other aid, to my revolted fubjedts in North-
America, and afterwards by avowing openly their
fipport, and entering into formal engagements with
the leaders of the rebellion, and at length by com
mitting open hoflilities and depredations on my faith
ful fubjeds, and by an actual invasion of my domi
nions in America and the Weft-Indies.
It is, I trull, unnecessary for me to assure you that
the fame care and concern for the happiness of my
people which induced me to endeavour to prevent the
calamities of war will make me deiirous to fee a re
storation of the blcffings of peace, whenever it can
be effected with perfect honour, and with security to
the rights of this country.
In the mean time I have not neglected to take the
proper and necessary nxafures for disappointing the
malignant designs of our enemies, and also for mak
ing general reprisals ; and although my efforts have
not been attended with all the success which the jus
tice of our cause and the vigor of our exertions seem
to picmife, yet the extensive commerce of my sub
jects has been protected in most of its branches, and
large reprisals have been made upon the injurious
aggressors by the vigilance of my fleets, and by the
active and enterprizing spirit of my people.
The great armaments of other powers, however
friendly and fmcerely their profusions, however just
and honourable their purposes, must necchaniy en
gage our attention.
It would have afforded me very great fatisfadion
to have informed you that the conciliatory measures
planned by the wisdom and temper of Parliament
had taken the desired effect, and brought the trou
bles in North-America to a happy conclusion.
In this Situation of affairs, the national honor and
security call so loudly upon us for the moll active ex
ertions, that 1 cannot doubt of jour hcartieft con
currence and flipport. From the vigour of your
councils, and the cendud and intrepidity of my offi
cers and forces by sea and land, I flatter myfeif, by
the bluffing of God, to derive the means of vindicat
ing and maintaining the honour of my crown, and the
interclis of my people, agaiuft all our enemies.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
I will order the proper estimates tor the ensuing
year to be laid before you, and when you confider
the importance of the objects for which we are con
tending, you will, I doubt not, grant me such flip
plies as you Ihall judge necessary for the public Ser
vice, and adequate to the prefect emergency.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
I have, according to the powers vested in me for
that purpose, called for the militia to assist in the in
terior defence of this country, and I have with the
greatest and truest Satisfaction been myfelf a witness
of that publick spirit, that steady ardor and that love
of their country which animate all ranks of my faith
ful Subjects, and which cannot fail of making us fafe
at home and retpetted abroad.

About five o'clock on Saturday morning last a
fire broke out in Philadelphia, in the house of Mr.
Dick, in F'ont-ftreet, between Chufhut and Walnut
ftrccts, which consumed his house and two others,
and greatly damaged a fourth. For a short time it
threatened the destruction of all the buildings be
tween Mr. Disk's and Chefnut-ftrect corner; but
by the great activity of the inhabitants, who run
from all parts of the city with their engines and
buckets, it was happily extinguished in about three
hours. It is said the fuffering families scarcely saved
any of their houfchold goods, or even wearing ap
parel, but we hear of no lives being loft.
