went of the United States are influenced by a wish

to maintain ftiendly relations between the two,

Powers.

This disposition will be met, as it alwafa

has been; by .a corresponding disposition on the

part of his Majesty.
The Speech "then says, addressing itself to the

House of Commons, that his Majesty bas ordered

the e,timates of the service of the year to be laid

before them, and that he ha‘idireeted them k be

,formed with all the regard ,to economy which the

I,curity. of .his territories. and .the support of his

Allies wouid admit. He relies upon the zed and

loyalty of the House to grant hitn the necessary

supplies ; and at the same time laments the pressims

upon his subjeas, which a state of protracted war-

fare renders unavoidable.

The Speech, then, addressing both Houses,,

states, that his IViajesty trusts they will resum'a.

the 'consideration of the situation of the inferiOi

Clergy, and make such further provision for them

as to their wisdom shall seem meet.

Adv'e'r ti ng

then to commerce and the revenue, the Speech af-

grins that the accounts which will be laid before

them will shew the situation of our revenue '4nd

rad:: to. be highly satisfadory, Whatever tein-
porary and partial inconvenience may have resulted
from the measures adopted by the enemy against

these 'sources of our. power, these measures have
wholly failed of producing any permanent or ,ge.
neral effete.

' His Majesty concludes his Speech by noticing
the inveterate hostility of the enemy which, it says,
continues to be directed against the British Empire

with unabated violence and rancour. To insure the

security of those realms, and to render the

designs.of the enemy against us and our allies abor-

tire, will xequire the greatest vigour. But Under

every peril, and in every difficulty his Majesty feels

confident, that under the ,proteclion of Divine
Providence, he shall receive the 'most efficacious

support from-the wisdom 'of his Parliament, the
valour of his Forces, and the spirit of his Sub-
jeas.
