et IO -k_?;. - . - WRLLRLELLTLLLLRLLL CLLRD LBRLE His MAJES TY’s moft Gracious SPEECH to both Houses of Parviament, on Friday she Sixth sf November, 1761. My Lorps and GENTLEMEN, zezezT the Opening of the Firft Palia- § A'8 ment fummoned and eleéth und;.r my Authority, I with Pleafure take i 2 Notice of an Event, which has made Me compleatly happy, and given uni- verfal Joy to my loving Subjeéts. My Mar- riage with a Princefs, eminently diftinguifh- ed by eveerj;ue.and amiableEndowment, whillt it afford$” Me all poffible domeftick Comfort,connot but highly contribute to the Happinefs of MyKingdoms ;which has been, and always (hall be, My fir{t Object in every - Aétion of My Life. 1c has been My earneft Wifk, that the firft Period of my R i§n might be marked with another ~Felicit§, the reftoring of the Bleffings of Peace tomy People, and putting an End to theCalamities of War,under which fo great a Part of Europe fuffers.But though Overtures were made to Me, and my good Brother and Ally the King of Pruffia by the feveral Belligerant Powers, in orderto a ge- neral Pacification, for which Purpofe a Con- grefs was appointed ; and Propofitions were made to Me by France, for a particular P eace with that Crown, which were follow- ed by an a€tual Negotiation ; yet that Con- grefs hath not hitherto taken P lace, and the Negotiation with France is entirely broken off. The Sincerity of My Difpofition to effec- tuate this good Work bas been manifefted in the Progrefs ofit; and I have the Confo- larion to refle@, that the Continuance of the ‘War, and the farther Effofion of Chriftian Blood, to' whichsit was the Defire of My Heart to put a Stop, cannot with Juftice be imputed to Me. i . Ouar military Operations have ' eeninno Degree fufpended or delayed ; and it has p cafed God to grant us farther fignal Suc- cefl+. by the Conquefts of the Iflands of Belicifi- 2nd Dominica ; and by the Reduétion of Pendicherry, which hath in a Manner an- nibilated the FrenchP ower.in the Eaft- Indies. In other Parts, where theEnemy’sNambers were greatly fuperior,their principalDzfigns and Projetts have been generally dilappoin- ted, by a Conduét which does the higheft Hononr tothe diftinguifhedCapacity of My General Prince Ferdinand of Brunfwick, and by the Valour of My Troops. The Mag- nanimity and Ability of the King of Pruffia have eminently appeared in refiiting fuch numerous Armies, and furmounting fo great Difficulties. ' In this Situation,I am glad to have an Opportunity of receiving the traeftInforma- tion ofthe Senfe of My People, by a new Choiceof theirReprefentatives. lam fully perfuaded you will agree with Me in Opini- on, that the fteady Exertion of Our moft vigorous Efforts, in every Part where the Enemy may ftil be attacked with Advan- tage, is the only Means that can be produc- tive of fuch a P eace, as mav withReafon be expetted from Our Succeffes. It is there- fore my fixed Refolution, with yoar Con- currenee and Support, to carry on theWar in the moft effe€tual Manner ; for the Inte- reft and Advantages of My Kingdoms ;and to maintain to the utmoft of My P ower,the good Faithand Honour of My Crown, by adhering firmly tothe Engagements entered into with MyAllies. In this [ will perfevere, wantil My Enemies, moved by their own Lofles and Diftrefles, and touched with the Miferies of fo many Nations, thall yield to the equitable Conditions of an honourable Peace ;in which Cafe, as wellasin the Pro- fecutions of the War, I do aflure You, no Confiderations whatever {hall make Me de- part from the true Interefts of thefe My Kingdoms, and the Honour and Dignity of My Crown. Gentlemen of the Houfe of Commons, Iam hearuly forry, that the Necefficy of large Supplies appears [o clearly for what has been alrecady memtioned. ['he proper Eftimates for the Services of the enfuing Year, fhall be laid before you; and I defire youto grant Me fuch|Supplies, as may ena- ‘ble Meto profecute the War with Vigour, and as your own Welfare and Security, in the prefent cirtical Conjuntture, require; that we may happily pu: the laft Hand to this great Work. - Whatloever you give, fhall be duly and faithfully applied. Idare fay your affeftionate Regard for Me and the Queen makes you go before Me inwhat I am next to mention ; the making an adequate and honourable I rovifion for Her Support, in cafe the fhould furvive Me. This is what not only her Royal Dignity, but Her own Meritcalls for; And I earneftly recommend it to your Confideration. My Lords, and Gentlemen, I have fuch a Confidence in the Zealand good Affections of this P arliament, that I think it quite fuperfluousto ufe any Exhor- tations to excite you toa right Conduét. I willonly add, That there never was a Sita- ation in which Unanimity, Firmnefs, and Difpatch were more neceflary for theSafety Honour, and true Intereft of Great- Britain.
