my first sentiment is a wish for Peace.—France
and England abuse their prosperity--they may
eintond for arcs ; but do their Governments
welt fulfill the most sacred of !heir Dutiel,
and will not so touch blood.shed uselessly, and
without 4 vi-tw to any end, accuse them
in their own consciences ? I cOnsi3er it as no
di4grace to make the first step. I have, I hope,
suffiCiently proved to the world that I fear none of
the chances of War.; it beside, presents nothing
chat 4 need to fear.; Peace is the wish of
, my heart, but War has never been contrary to
my glory. I conjure your Majesty not to
deny 'yourself the happiness of giving Peace to
the World, nor to leave that :meet satisfaiion to
your children for, in fine, there never was a more
fortunate opportunity, nor a moment more favour.
