30, mentions the King's Speech being just arrived, bat

March 22. The following is a copy of the Address
and Petition delivered to his Majesty on Friday at St.
James's, by 4 of the principal people called Quakers.
To GEORGE the Third, King of Great-vritain,
and the Dominions thereunto belonging, the Ad
dress and Petition of the people ceded Qua
kers.
May it please the King,
<< Gratefully sensible of the protection and indul
gence we enjoy under thy government, and with
hearts full of anxious concern for thy happiness, and
the prosperity of this great empire, we beg leave to
approach thy Royal Presence.
6c Prompted by the affection we bear to our bre
thren and fellow-fubje&s ; impressed with an appre
hension of calamities in which the whole British
empire may be involved; and moved by an ardent
desire to promote the Royal intention of effecting a
happy reconciliation with the people in America, we
beleech thy gracious regard to our petition.
“ From the intercourse subsisting between us and
our brethren abroad, for the advancement of piety
and virtue, we are persuaded there are not in thy
extensive dominions, fubje&s more loyal, and more
zealoudy attached to thy Royal Person, thy family
and government, than in America, and amongtt all
religious denominations.
<f We presume not to juftify the excesses committed,
nor to enquire into the causes which may have pro
duced them; but, influenced by the principles of
that religion which proclaims “ peace on earth, and
good will to men," we humbly beseech thee to stay
the sword ; that means may be tried to effect without
bloodshed, and all the evils of intestine war, a firm
and lading union with our fellow fubje&s in America.
“ Great and arduous as the talk may appear, we
trust men may be found in this country, and in
America, who, properly authorized, would, with a
zeal and ardour becoming an obje& so important,
endeavour to compose the prel'ent differences, and
eftablilh a happy and permanent reconcilation, on
that firm foundation, the reciprocal interest of each
part of the British empire.
“ That the Almighty, by whom Kings reign,
and Princes decree justice, may make thee the happy
instrument of perpetuating harmony and concord
through the several parts of thy extensive dominions ;
that thy clemency and magnanimity may be admiied
in future generations, and a long succession of thy
defeendants fill, with honour to themselves and hap
piness to a grateful people, the throne of their
ancestors, is the fervent prayer of thy faithful
fubje&s."
By a letter from Ireland we learn, that orders are

for America; but the regiments of foot are prepar
