Mr. Gre; made his mation, " That the

vtous quejhoa 19c —iguinil it 60.
Mr. Pitt laid, be had his Majesty's
commands to deliver his moil gracious
Meflage to the House.
His Majesty thinks proper to acquaint the
House that he has received assurances from
the Emperor, of his dif,ofition to make
the most vigorous exertions against the
common enemy, in the ensuing campaign :
But his Imperial Majesty is sensible of his
inability to carry his wish into effeft, with
oat the aid ofa Loan rais'd on the credit
of his hereditary dominions, guaranteed
by this Country, the extent of Four Mill
ions Sterling, which sum, so raised, will
enable his Imperial Majesty, to fend into
the field, an army consisting of two hun
dred tboufand effective men, to co-operate
in Support of the Common Cause.
His Majesty also thinks it proper to
state, that a Loan on fimilsr terms, to a
larger extent, would enable his Imperial
Majesty to employ a yet greater force,
provided his resources were .tore exten
sive.
Ihe Meflige was to the following ef
fed :
Jan. 24. Yesterday a Common hall
was held at Guildhall, which confided
of the Lord Mayor, about a dozen Aider
inen,one hundred Caramon Council men,
and fire Thuuland 'Livery men, when a
petition to Parliament fora foeedy Peace
was voted for by a great mjjriity.
Lift of the Peers who voted in fav° r ct
Re.<ce on the motion of the Duke ©f Bed
ford, on Tuefdav lalt.
His Majesty likewise thinks it necessary
to mention, that whatever sums have been
advanced in the cowrie of the ]aft cam
paign, will be included in this estimate ;
and that in case any Unforefeen circum- 1
stances should occur in the prosecution of
the war, which may render additional hip
plies necessary, his Majesty will not fail
to communicate to the House, the result
of such arrangements as may be deemed
necessary to accornplilh the objeft in view.
His Majesty therefore relying on the
Zeal and Exertion of his faithful Parlia
ment, has the utmost confidence, that they
will adopt such meafuree as Ihall be most
conducive to the interest of the Country,
It was proposed to decree, that the army
of th^ North had not chafed to deserve
well from the country'; A member ob
