If is ith at tutxed feeling of pleasure and re-
gret that I now have the honour of llddre4sing you.
It is nut unknown to you .ail, my valuable fnends,
that for ni,oly yea N past, it has been the eirstom ut
toy House to. erlebrate this day (the bit th-day of her
Royal Highness) with juy and testivity. We are
all loyal subjeeth, and it Uiay therefore be perinitted
QS to feeka greet cirawbiek to our pleisure, on con-
sidering the melancholy. state at our good and' bt.-
loved Soveteigti, in whb+e .recovery every tiliton
must be interested and this refiedion has in-
duced me in a great measure to forego the acctii-
Rimed marks.of tny devotion to my illustrious pt-
troness.

my feelino to have,passttfl it over entirely ; and had
my veneration for the Sovereign intliterd me so to
have done, the, gtaehms present of her 'loyal I ligh-
-I;eqs, now belure you, would have reproachetl me
with ingratilude.

"Excuse my remarking how much the natnreof
the 'present, ;and the manner of bestowing it,
evince Ihe. character and goodness of her 'loyal
rikitoqttion.. It is,by comparative trifles
thne we form ;.in e tnnair. ; anti this conde,cending
recollection ut her, loyal Higlimps holds nut the
surest plede,;e to the pat;tin uf a truly gracious and
amiable mind."
