THE N ITIONAL REcirsTER.

laboriously urged in both Houses. Sir J. Mackintosh in the
Commons dwelt upon this with pecuiiar emphasis. Next to
his swagger about his own humility, it wa,, the most prominent
feature of his speech. It would have been just as rational to
contend, that because the treaty to which we were a lea►ty, did
not say what cur conduct was-
to be after the battle of I.4eip-
aic and the conquest of Holstein, that, by those events which
were not mentioned in anticipation, we were released from
the performance of our part of the contract. Because D.•ri-
mai k has nominally made the cesiion of Norway, Sir James
maintained our part of the treaty was fulfilled. A sin-
gular doctrine this after we had agreed to use all our
morns to procure the annexation of Norway to Swe-
den. Vhat would it be but a miserable shuffle on
our part to contend that we had pe: formed our share of the
treaty, 'because Denmark had agreed to give it up,
though no attempt had been made to carry that agreement
into effect. If this be consistent with public law or com-
mon justice, we mu,t c9nfe s we have a very imperfect
dea of either, and would wish to give the eternal monopoly
of both, to such statesmen as the leading minims of the op-
position, and Sir James Mackintosh.

Nevertheless, our gratitude, and the usage of war, require us to
order ail the Civil and Military Authorities in our dominions to
redouble their care. and attention, that the valiant armies of the
Allied Sovvreir,,,us may be regularly and abundantly supplied with
all that is neets::aiy for the subsistence and wants of the troops. All
demands not coruprebe► ded in these objects shall, therefore, be of
no effect, and the sacrifices of the people will be diminished.
Frenchmen ! you hear your King, and he wishes in his turn that
_yoor voice may ►each him, and express your wards and your desires;
his shall always atte: t the l►►ve which he bears to his people. The
largest -cities, and the most obscure hamlets, all parts of his kingdom
are equally objects of his care, and he presses all his subjects at one
and the same thee to his heart.
lie does not think that lie can indulge feelings too paternal for
people whose valour, loyalty, and devotion to their Sovereigns,
have for ages coustitated their glory and prosperity.
