ably cornphdn, I have full confidince In the wisdom of Parlia-
ment—the Great Council of the Nation.

the declared object of your Petition to accomplish, would only •
serve to increase the dangers against which we have to contend.

to my charge, if I did not steadily persevere in those endeavours
which appear to me best calculated to support the just rights of
the Nation abroad, and to pre.erve inviolate the Constitution at
home.

seconded by the zeal and loyalty of his Majesty's people, upon
which I shall continue to place the strongest relianfe."
