have given me Of your constant s affeGlion-
ate attachment TO my person and family,
and your regard To the honor and dignity
ofmy Crown, by the liberal provision which
YOU have made for the payment of the
debt Oh my civil list revenues, and Tor fur
nishins me with the additional means of
detraying the increase which has unavoida-
bly, taken place in different branches of
my expenditure.
must also return you my warmest
thanks for the extensive provision which
you have MADE for the exigencies OF the
public service; especially for the just and
prudeht attention which you have shewn
10 true economy, & TO the permanent Gre
dit and welfare ofthe country by the great
exertions you have made for preventing, as
tas as possible, the accumulation of debt,
and Tor raising SO large proportion oFthe
expenses OF the war within the year.
ny ioros AID gentlemen,
have now only 10 recommend to you
to carry into your respective counties the
same zeal Tor The public interest which
has guided your proceedings. 1t will be
your part,cular duty to inculcate into the
minds Of all classes of my subjects, that
the preservation Of all that is most dear
TO them requires the continuance of their
anremitled eXertions for their national de-
fence.
The preparations which the enemy has
long BEEN forming for the declared pur-
pose of invading this kingdom, are daily
augmented, and the attempt appears 10
have been delayed only with the view of
procuring additional, means for CARRYING il
into execution.
Relying on the skill, valor, and disci-
pine of my naval and military force, aid
ed by the voluntary zeal and native cou-
rage OF my people look with confidence
10 the issue OF this great conHiGl; and |
doubt not that it will terminate, under The
blessing of Providence, not only in repell,
ing The danger OF the moment, but in es
tablishlng in the eyes of foreign nations,
the security Of this country on d basis ne,
YER to be shaken.
In addition to this 6rst and great obieel,
entertain the animaiing hope that the
benefit to be derived from our successful
exertions, will not be confined within our
selves; but by their example and their
consequences, they may lead to the re-es.
tabllshment OF such system in Europe,
as may rescue it from the precarious state
to which it is reduced, and may finally
raise an effectual barrier against the un =,
bounded schemes Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
ambition, which threaten every indepen-
dent nation that yet remains on the CONT.
nept.
Then the lord chancellor, by his ma
iesty's command said (:
"My lords and gentlemen,
{. 1t is his 'najesty's royal will and plea.
sure, that this parliament be Prorogued to
Tuesday, the 18th day of Septembe next,
to be then here holden and this parla.
ment is accordingly prorogued,o Tuesday,
