WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER.
HARTFORD : Printed by H UDSON and GOODWIN, near the Great Bridge.
TUESDAY, February 26, 1782.
In the last feflion you made a considerable
progress in your enquiries into the ttate and
condition of our dominions and revenues in the
East-Indies :—You will I am persuaded, resume
the prosecution of that important deliberation
with the fame spirit and temper in which it was
begun, and proceed with the fame attention and
anxiety to confider how those remote provinces
may be held and governed with the greatest
security and advantage to this country, and by
what means the happiness of the native inhabi
tants may be belt promoted.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
I will order the estimates for the ensuing year
to be laid before you. I rely on your wisdom
and public spirit for such supplies as the circum
stances of cur affairs (hall be found to require.
N E W - Y O R K, February 13 .
Yesterday arrived his Majesty's ship Narcissus,
Capt. Edward Edwards, in eight weeks from Eng
land ; by which we have been favoured with
His MAJESTY'S most gracious SPEECH to
both Houses of Parliament on Tuesday,
November 27th, 1781.
My Lords and Gentlemen, > .. -,
WHENI last met you in Parliament, I ac
quainted you with the arduous situation
of public affairs at that time, and I represented
to you the objects which I had in view, and the
resolution with which I was determined to per
severe in the defence bf my dominions against
the combined power of my enemies, until such
a pacification could be madeas might consist with
the honor of my crown, and the permanent in
terest and security of my people^. ,
The war is Rill unhappily prolonged by that
restless ambition which firft excited our enemies
to commence it, and which still continues to dis
appoint my earnest desire and diligent exertion
to restore the public tranquility.'But! should
not answer the trust committed to the Sovereign
of a free people, mor make a suitable return to
my fubjeas for their constant, zealous, and af
fe&ionate attachment to my person, family and
government, if I consented to Sacrifice, either to
my own desire .of peace; or to their temporary
case and relief, those eflential rights and perma
nent interests, upon the maintenance and preser
vation of which, the future strength and securi
ty of this country must ever principally depend.
The favourable appearance of our affairs in
the East-Indies, and the fafe arid prosperous arri
val of the numerous commercial fleets of my
kingdoms, must have given you fatisfa&ion ; but
in the course ofthis year, my assiduous endea
vours to guard the extensive dominions of my
crown have not been attended with success equal
to the justness and uprightriefs of my views, and
it is with great concern that I inform you, that
the events of war have been very unfortunate to
my arms in Virginia, having ended in the loss of
my forces in that Province.
No endeavours have beeri wanting on my part
to extinguish that spirit of rebellion which our
enemies have found means to foment and main
tain in the Colonies, and to restore to my delud
ed fubje&s in America, that happy and prosper
ous condition which they formerly derived, from
a due obedience to the laws ; but the late misfor
tune in that quarter calls loudly for your firm
concurrence and assistance, to fruftrate the de
signs of our enemies, equally prejudicial to the
real interests of America, and to those of Great-
Britain.
From Rivington's Royal Gazette.'
" We will, without loss of time, resume the
deliberation upon the Bate and condition of the
British poffeffionsarid revenues in the East-Indies,
will carry it on with the fame spirit and temper
in which it was begun, and proceed with thefame
The Humble ADDRESS of the Right Honorab'e
the LORDS Spiritual and Temporal, in Parli
ment cfemWed.
Die Martis, 27 Novembris, 1781.
'' Most Gracious Sovereign,
'' WE, your Majesty's molt dutiful and loyal
fubjeCts, the Lords spiritual and temporal, in Par
liament affemblcd, beg leave to return ycur Ma
jelty our humble thanks for your most gracious
speech from the throne.
" Itis with equal concern and indignation that
we fee the war prolonged by that reliefs ambiti
on which firft excited your Majesty's enemies to
commence it, and which still continues to disap
point your Majesty's earnest desire and diligent
exertion to restore the public tranquility.
" We acknowledge, with the sincerest and
warmest gratitude; your Majesty's wisdom and
constant attention to the real welfare of ycurpeo
ple, equally conspicuous in your earnest desires
of peace, and in your fixed and unalterable reso
lution never to facrifice, either to that desire, or
to the temporary case and relief of your fubje&s,
thole eflential rights and permanent interests,
upon the maintenance and preservation of which
the future strength and security of this country
muff ever, principally depend.
" We feel great fatisfattion in tne, favourable
appearance bf our affairs in the East-Indies, and
in the fare and profperbus arri\ al of the numerous
commercial fleets of these kingdoms ; but we re
gret that in the course of this year yourMajefty's.
assiduous endeavours to guard the extensive do
minions bf your crown have not been attended
with success equal to the justice and uprightnefa
of your Majesty's views ; and we lament that the
events of war have been so unfortunate to your
Majesty's arms in Virginia.
" We are gratefully fenlible o-the parental so-
Hcitude your Majesty has fliewn for rhe general
happiness of your people, in the endeavours youc
Majesty has used to extinguish that spirit of rebel
lion which our enemies have found riieans to fo
ment and maintain in the Colonies, arid to re
store to your deluded fubjeas in America that
happy and prosperous condition which they for
merly derived from a due obedience to the laws ;
and we beg leave to assure your Majesty of our
firm concurrenceand assistance to fruftrate the de
signs of our enemies, equally prejudiced to the
real interests of America, and to those cf Great-
Britain^
Among the many ill consequences which attend
the continuation of the present war, I most sin
cerely. regret the additional burthens which it
must unavoidably bring upon my faithful fub
je&s. ,
;My Lords and Gentlemen,
, In the prosecution of this great and important:
contest in which we are engaged, I retain a firm
confidence in, the protection of Divine Provi
dence, and a perfect conviction of the justice of
my cause ; and 1 have no doubt but that by the,
concurrence and Support of my Parliament, by
the valour of my fleets and armies, and by a
yigourous, animated and united exertion of tha
faculties and resources of my people, I flrall be
enabled to restore the blefhngs of a fafe and ho
norable peace to all my dominions.
