'Majesty's liappy covernMent. .
' A Country so blessed and so distinguished as ours, a
Country. whose Religion is purity, whose Litierty is reason,
and whose Laws are the union of wisdom, equity and raercy,
could not fail to excite the jealousy, and .provoke the
-lie:: of a •Peopld who have declared I lostilities against all the
valuable Interests, and the general Happiness of Mankind ;-
hi the fury of their malignity-they have flaringly, btrt, 'We•
trust, „most vandy decreed our overthrow. •
" Feeling with indignant ride, the insult thusoffercd to
a I ree acid Loyal- People, we shall consider no eitOrts too
great,,Ao sacrifices too- severe, which may be-necessary to
oppbAt4eir At terupts, .and chastise their Insolence,
We are well aware that the Crisis thimands extraordinary
Exertions, but we are convinced that the energies • and con-
stancy of your Majesty's Subjeas are such as, if property
!direcied, will nor only confirin.ind improve .our intermit se-
curity, but will enabic us to meet the Menaces, to baffle the
Attempts and retort the Dangers:oF Invasion.• .
" Sensible of the Aggresikin we hive to repel, and of the
Blessinks feeltaiii to preserve, we pledge ourselves steadily
an.i vigo-ronsly t i support all those 'Meastirei, whizb your
Majesty in your wisdom shalt think fit to adopt, in order to •
brintitis arduous Contest to .4 happy issue. It is by per-.
seversoce in. this manly conduel, and by,.. this only, that we
can Nape to maintain undiminished the Lustre cif the British
Namt the Honour of your Crown, and the Happiness of
your Subjvets.
. " May the: Almighty Power, who Acne cm give success,
protect the glorious Cause, •and prosper our .ardent endea. •
yours ! Nay He long, very long, thower.down his Blessings -
upkin your Itoyat'Person and. Family. I May Ile continue .to:.
go-forth with your Hosts, and to crown their 'Arms with ,
violoryl so that In His appointed time the equitable Conces-
sions or hunthled Foes 'may • render this -Nation as highly
honoured its Peace, - as it has ever been terrible,in War.
