HIS MAJESTY
's SPEECH.

Tat following it an outline of His MAJESTY'S

Speech, which was delivered thie *in t4e. House

of Lords by the LORD CITANCELLOR

V' The Speech.- cBm►uences -with stating, that, thp-
Commipioners had,.it in Command from kits

JESTY, to inform them that he had called his

Parliament together, in the firm persuasion that

they would concur with him in opinion, that a de-

terrnified and vigorous prosecution of the War in

which we are engaged was the most effeaual means

of, proctning, ultiMately, a permanent, and honorable
-Peace. The Commissioners bad it also in command
from His MAJESTY to state that His MAJesty had
.given direaions that the propositions which had been
made to His MAJESTY from Erfurth,for the opening
of a Negotiation, theCorresponcience which took place
upon that proposition, and.Ahe Declaration 'which
His MAJESTY 'felt it necessary, upon the tertnina.
lion of the Negotiation, be laid before Parlittment ;
and His MAJESTY entertained no doubt, that his Par-,
Lament would Participate in the feelings which ope-
rated upon his mind, when they were informed,
that it was, insisted upon by the Enerny,as a prelimi-
nary of the Negociation, that tits MAJEs.ry's Allies,
tho Spaniards;should be abandoned to their fate.
The Speech then states, that His MAJESTY be-
held., with the moat lively satisfa6tion, the brilliant
Success which attended his Arms at the commence-

nient of the Catlyaign in l'Jrtnititi; and the Testora-
tiun of iii antient Ally to his Dominions; but it

adds, that the Convention by which that Campaign
was concluded, had disappointed his hopes, and
upon some parts of it .fits MAJESTY had been un-
der the necessity'Of expressing his disapprobation.

The Speech then states, that fits MAJESTY had
n:ceived from Spain the strongest assurances of a firm
determination to persevere in the just and ho-
nourable cause in which she was engaged, and His
MAJESTY had nut hesitated to renew to Spain, after

the disasters which her armies had sustained, those

()Eras of support and assistance) which he had made

when she first manifested her determination of sup-

.potting bet legitimate Severeigtv, sad which &We-

lance and support His MA:tem would conti-
nue to afford to the People of Spain, as 'long
as they were true to-themselves, and faithful to
their Sovereign. *Mute As l-ant:es had been reduced
into a Treaty with the Spanish Government, :end as
soon as the Ratifications were received, it would be

laid before Parliament.
His MkJESTY trusts that Parliament will concur

with him itt the propriety Of supporting the
Kum of S%vuottf, a Mooarth who had addi-

tfonal claim to the support of this CotmtrY, frurn this
Itavingi ln,conjunetion with fits MAJasl Y, refused
to treat sSith the Euerny, unless the Spanish Go.

vernmeut were allowed to share in the Negocia-

Ikon:
The Speech then advert; to the rinances, which,

notwithstanding the efforts of the -Enemy to em-
barrass our trade, it states to be in a most pro.
aptircas 00 increasing state, and it expresses a hopo
that the supplies of the year may be provided for,

without any great or Immediate addition to the bur-
thens of the People.

Hi* NIA., E S TY congratulates parliantent upon the
success of the At passed last year, for the Esta-
blishment of a Local Militia, and recommends it

to Parliameitt to take measures for increasing the

,Regular Army, in order that, without impairing the
