His Holiness, being informed that the Austrian forces which,

assembled on the frontier of the Lombardo-Venetian King,
dont, have passed the Po, and are,marching as friendly troops
towards the kingdom of Naples, to protect the eteCutionof those

determinations which his Sicilian Majesty has announced to his
-.l)eople to hate been adopted by the said Sovereigns for the peaCe
?pd tranquillity of Italy and of all Europe, is desirous-that his
;vrell-beloved subjects should be assured respecting the object of
?this military expedition, and at the same time informed of what,
*the existing- circumstances, he expects from their unalterable
fidelity andfilial attachment to his sacred person.

THE LOYAL ADDRESS
OF THE PROTESTANT DISSENTERS

TO THE KING;

-
To the Kini4s txcellent Majesty.
Thedutifnl and loyal Address of the' Ministers anl COngrez
gations of Proteatant bisknterS, Of the Independent Denomma-
non, in the connexion of the late Rev. William Huntingdon, in
London and its vicinity ; and in the branches Of that Connexion
in various parts of the -ecalntry. •
May it please yonr Majesty, . . • . •
Vire, the undersigned Protestant Dissentert of the Indepen-
dent Denomination in the Connexion of the late Rev. William
Huntingdon, most respectfully beg leave, at this time especially,
to approach your Majesty with the. unfeigned -aasiiranee of our
dutiful and affectionate attach:neat to your. Majesty's sacred
person, and with the heartfelt sentiments of loyalty and respect
towards your Majesty's wise and paternal Government.
Yes, Sire we say at this time especially, when deeply penes
trated with the grateful recollection of the privileges solong en-
joyed under the benignant sway of your Majesty's Royal Fa-
ther; King George the Third, of blessed memory ' • and duly
sensible of the obligations we owe to your Majesty for the con,:
tinuance.and eonfonnittion of those privileges ; we have beheld,
with the utmost ahhorrence and detestation, the attempts that
have been Made, and are still making; to disseminate the prin-
ciples of Disaffection and Sedition—to call into action the worst
passions of human iiature—to excite to the disorganization and
overthrow of eveiry Valuable Institution—to unhinge the bonds of
society-4o annihilate all moral obligation towards• God and
to introduce anarchy, confusion, and ruin, into every
ease of the social compact, from the Throne of the Monarch to
the Mansions of the Wealthy, the Circle Of the Citizen, and the
Cottoge of the Peasant.
Imyressed with these sentiments, we cannot but deprecate the
practice recently carried to such an unprecedented extent by some
evil-disposed persons, of taking advantage cf passing occur-
rences to effect their nefarious clesigns,by inflammatory speeches,
tending to excite 'clamour and discontent in the minds of the
ignorant. and unwary ; and, abusing to licentiousness the liberty
of 'the Press, endeavouring, by means of Seditious- and Blas-
Rh emous Publications, to inflame their. minds, to mislead the
well-disposed, to banish all fear of God, to bring into contempt
all Authorities laWfully constituted, and to diffuse a phrcnzied
fervour throughout. the land, alike-dangerous to your Majesty's
person and Government, and to the, peace, tranquillity, and
welfare of your Majesty's loyal' subjects of every rank and
degree.
We view with regret, but we hope without any just cause of
alarm, the uneeasin;; efforts of one class of the community to
induce your Majesty to remove from your Councils those emi-
nent Statesmen, who, with such fidelity to your Majesty, and
with such hon Our and advantage to' the Nation, have, under
your Majesty's auspices, so long disPensed the resources and
wielded the strength of the British Empire. We, in common
with the rest of your Majesty's faithful' Subjects, feel and la-
meet the heavy pressure of the present times, occasioned, as we
believe, by a concurrence of fortuitous circumstances, beyond
the sphere of human efforts to control ; but we entertain a con-
fidence, that all that a wise and paternal Government can effect
towards the amelioration of those circumstances; will be still at-
tempted by your Majesty's present. Ministers. We remember,
with gratitude, the signal and unparalleled success with which
it pleased God to crown the measures of those Ministers, so
wisely adopted and continued by your Majesty, when exercis-
ing the Sovereign functions as Regent of : the United Kingdom.
For these successes, 'brilliant and important beyond example,
either in this. or any other age or clime, we desire to render un-
feigned thanks to the Supreme Disposer of all events : and, as
it hath pleased Him thereby to give Peace .. to the bleeding Na-
tions, with these facts in view, and with the Confidence thus re-
posed, we venture humbly and respectfully to submit our hope,
that it may be your Majesty's pleasure that no such change of
Administration, as-this clamour would presume to dictate, may
at this juncture take place.
With the enjoyment of our present privileges as Protestants,
and as Dissenters, we beg permission to express to 'your Ma-
jesty our grateful and entire satisfaction : nor can we conceive
it' possible that there is 'a single individual throughout your Ma-
jesty's Dominions, either among the Dissenters, the Members
of the Romish ComMunicn, or any 'other sect, who can justly
complain of any undue restrictions in the exercise of his religious
faith, or in the mode of his religious worship. The extension of
those privileges by our late, venerable and . beloved Sovereign,
and the continuation of them by your Majesty, has for ever su-
perseded every possible objection, and anticipated every reason-
able claim'to further indulgence on this point ; for, if liberty of
conscience is required, we. already fully possess it—if additional
concessions are demanded, that demand, we humbly conceive,
can only:Orginitte IN A LATENT WISH FOR POWER—an illci-
ipier4 grasping at authority ; and therefore it was with genuine
.exultation we hailed rot: it MAJESTy's..DETEILAIINATIO 11follaty . to
th.. example of your •Illustribita Ancestors of the Rouse
or. Brunswick IN MAINTAINING INVIOLATE the :Protestant
Interest; .and. • the Constitution of this Conntry,as llr Law
EaTant.rsi4.l3 IN CHURCH. AND STATE:: ",-* •
I'hi.lolVei we have. presumed respectfully to. lay our sentie
11-lents at the foot of the Throne, conceiving it our bounclen.duty
so to do, when Infidelity and Disloyalty, urged by every malig-
nant motive, are stalking unblushingly through the land. Those
sentments we have imbibed as Christians and as Britons they
were strenuously inculcated by our late revered • Pastor a and,
above all, we consider them as authorised; warranted, and en-
joined by the precepts of Divine Revelation and as such, we
hesitate not to declare our firm and conscientious 'conviction,
that not only Infidelity to our-God, but Disloyalty to our Prince
in the exercise of his rightful prerogative, is incompatible with
true Christianity:,
'Expressing, us we thus do, our heartfelt attachment to your
_Majesty's Royal Person and Government, and our ready obe-
dience to the Laws of our Country, we sincerely pray that the
Almighty King Of Kings and Lord of Lords may bnng to nought
all the evil designs of your Majesty's enemies, whether foreign
or domestic ; and that, 11 the pleasing contemplation of the wel-
fare of your subjects, your Majesty's Reign may be long and
prosperous over a fret; united, anti happy people.
With these sentiments we beg permission respectfullY to sub
scribe ourselves, Your Majesty's most•dutiful, most loyal am
devoted SubjeCts.
