horn the Throne :

" My Lords and Gentlemen,
" The Public Business being concluded, I think
it proper to close this Session of Parliament.
" During a long and laborious attendance, you
have invariably manifested the just Sense you enter-
tain of the great Trust committed to your Charge.
The Objects of your Deliberations have been un-
usually numerous and important, and I derive the
utmost satisfaction from the conviaion, that the
Wisdom of your Proceedings will be fully proved
by their Effeds, in promoting the best Interests of
My People throughout every Part of My Domi-
nions.

" Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
" The 'ample provision you have made for the
various branches
tof the Public Service, demands
Warmest Acknowledgments ; and My parti-
cular Thanks arc due for the Liberality which you
have shewn in exonerating My Civil Government
and Household, from the Debt with which they
were unavoidably burthened.
" Whilst I regret the Amount of the Supplies
which circumstances have rendered necessary, it is
a relief to Me to contemplate the State of our Ma-
Lufadures, Commerce, and Revenue, which afford
the most decisive and gratifying proof of the abun-
dance of oar internal Resources) and of the growing
Prosperity of the Country.
" My Lords and Gentlemen,
" As I think it expedient that the EleCtion of a
New Parliament should take place without delay, it
is My Intention forthwith to give Direlions for
dissolving the present, and for calling a New Par-
Lament.
" In communicating to you this intention, I
cannot suppress those sentiments of entire appro-
bation, with which I refied -upon every part of
Your Conduct, since I first met you in this place.
The unexampled difficulties of our situation, re-
quired the utmost efforts of that Wisdom and
fortitude, which you so eminently displayed in •
contending with them, and by which they have
been so happily surmounted. From your judicious
and salutary Measures during the last year, My
People derived all the Relief which could be afford-
ed t-Kier one of tLe severest Dispensations of Provi-
dence. And it was by the Spirit and Determination
which uniformly animated .Our Councils, aided
by the unprecedented exertions of My Fleets and
Armies, and the zealous and cordial co-operation

of My People, that I was enabled to prosecute

with Success, and terminate with Honour, the long
a6wl arduous Contest in which we have been en-
gaged.
" The same Sense of Public Duty, the same So,
licitude for the Welfare of your Country, will,

now, in your individual CharaCters, induce you to

encourage by all the means in your power, the
cultivation and improvement of the 4dvantages of
Peace,
" My endeavours will never be wanting to pre-
serve the Blessings, by which we are so eminently
distinguished, and to prove that the Prosperity and
happiness of all Classes of My faithful Subjeas, are
the

the objeas which are always the nearest to My
liearte"
