The long e:‘rperienc'e which we ‘had of his royal virtues, the benignity of his govern- !ment, and his uniform cire of our laws and liberties, (.ot interrupted in any one inftance during the courfe of " many yesrs,demand fmix us the moft grateful acknow- icdgments ; and will make his memory as dear to us as the height and fplendor to which he had raifed the greatnefs of thefe kingdoms will render it glorious to all pofterity. 8 ; Such s lofs could only be repaired by your majefty. And at the fame time that we condole with your ms- j:Rty on this melancholy event, we beg leave to offer you our moft fincere congratulatiéns on your happy ac- ceflion to the throne.. As your majefty is the right!ul and immediate inheritor of his crown, you are fo of thofe virtues with which he adorned it ; and which promiie a continuation of the fame bleflings to thefe kingdoms. 1t fills our minds with inexpreffible joy, to [ee the pleal- ing hopes we had conceived from your many princely ~ and amiable endowments, and the carly demonftrations of your affection to this country, fo fully verificd in your firflt declarations to your parliament. : We are penetrated with the condefcending and en- dearing manner in which your majefty has exprefled your fatisfattion in having received your birth and educa- tion amongft us. What s luftre doth it caft upon the name of BriTon, when you, Sir, are pleaf:d to efteem it amongft your glories ! it g ] The feveral paternal affurances which your majefty has vouchfefed to give us, fpesk your refolution to be the common father of your people. No ftronger proof can be given of it than by adopting this undeniable maxim, That their love is the beft fecurity of your throne. From this principle will naturally flow the ftricteft adherence to our excel'ent conflitution in church and ftate, snd the maintenance of that [fureft cement of the proteftant intereft in thele kingdoms theI‘_ol:raxicn: And we cannot but applaud your msjefty’s wildom and picty in making the encouragement of true religion and virtue ane of the great foundatiors of your government,. We adore the goodnefs of providence in the figaal fuccefles with which we have been bleffed this laft fum- imer. The redu&tion of the extenfive province ofCanada, with the city of Montreal, is an event of the hlg.llcfi importance in every view 3 and it is no (mall addition to the glory refulting from it, to have fhewn, that while the Britifh arms carry conqueft, they carry protettion. We look upon the great sdvantages gined in the Eaft Indies, as highly beneficial to the trade of the'e kingdoms. And we have the julteft fenfe of the happy confequences derived to the operations of Great Baiin in particular, as well as to the common caufe in general, from the wife condué of Pr. Ferdinand of Bruafwick. After what the enemy had before experienced from his abilities, we are not {u-prized that they thould notcome to a decifive engagement, ‘ . The magnanimity and perfeverance of the King of Pruflia will not only be the admiration of the prefent age, but of pofterity 5 and the noble ftand made, and the victories obtained by thatPrince,muft be the ftropgeft motives to the powers engaged againft him,to concurin the proper meafures to reltore the tranquility of Europe. The judicicus fentiments which your Majefty has declared to us concerning your royal navy, and the commetce of your fubjeéts, are truly worthy of a Britith monarch, refolved to improve our natural ftrength, and moft valuable refources. Thz weskzning of the French force by fea, to lo great 8 degree, and the low flate to which their trade, is reduced, we efteem amongeft the moft folid benefiss accruing to this nation from the ex- peafive efforts made this war, i Your Majefty’s regard for public merit fhines forth in the general natice, which you are pleafed to take of the valour and intrepidity of your officers and forces by feaand land. They are equally conducive to the [afety . and glory of our country ; and your gracions acceptance /" of the fervice cfthe militia, as being ufeful in the prefent arduous conjunélure, will be a great encouragemnient to their zeal. - At the [ime time thst we thankfully acknowledge your Majefty’s tender corfi leration for your people, in your withes to have found your kingdoms in full pzace, -Hampfhire - Containing the Frefbeft Advices, we cannot but admire your wifZom in the comprehenfive fenfe you have exprefl<d of the caufes snd necellity of the prefent war. We are convinced that your majelty’s humane difpofition makes you lament the calamuties of it ; whilft your greatnels ¢f mind has determined you to purfue it with vigour,in orderto s fafe and honorable peace, fo defirable,not only to your own fubjeéls, but to all Europs.

The arxiety, which your msjefty hasTo early de- clared, for the uncommon burdens of your people, de- mands our fincereft thanks.

Ourloyalty and fidelity are iaviolable. Our refoluiion to maintain your undoubted title to the Impetial crown, and the Proteftant {ucceflion in your illaftrious houfe, az ge hazard of our lives and fortunes,is never to be fhaken. appy fhall we be in every inltance, whereby wy may be able to contribute to the glory, profperity, and eale of your reign. Your majefty’s prudence, and the be- nevolence of your royel heart,- have pointed out to us the moft agreeeble means of promoting thefe ends, by fo ftrongly inculcating the continuance of that union and good harmony, which {ubfift amongft your people.
