One Thousand Seven Hundred and Forty-four;"

King present;
His Majesty, being seated on the Throne, with the
accustomed Ceremonies; the Prince of Wales and the
Duke of Cumberland (in their Robes) sitting in their
respective Places; the Lords being also in their Robes;
commanded the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod to
let the Commons know, "It is His Majesty's Pleasure,
that they attend Him immediately, in this House."
Who being come, with their Speaker;
The Clerk of the Crown read the Title of the following Bill, ready for the Royal Assent, as follows:
and the Bill passed:
"An Act to rectify a Mistake in an Act made this
Session of Parliament, intituled, An Act for the
speedy and effectual recruiting His Majesty's Land
Forces and Marines, for the Year One Thousand
Seven Hundred and Forty-four."
To this Bill the Royal Assent was pronounced, in
these Words; (vidclicet,)
"Le Roy le veult."
Then His Majesty spake as follows:
His Majesty's Speech.
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"The Preparations which were so long carried on
in France, to invade this Kingdom, in Favour of a
Popish Pretender, have at last been followed with
a Declaration of War, by that Crown, against Me.
The Duty, Affection, and Zeal, for Me and My
Family, which have been so fully and cordially expressed in the unanimous Resolutions of both Houses
of Parliament, and in the loyal and seasonable Addresses of all My good Subjects, ought to have convinced our Enemies, how ill-grounded any Hopes
of Success were, with which they might have vainly
flattered themselves in such an Attempt: To Me, it
is the truest Satisfaction, and must be the greatest
Security to My Government, that, just at the Time
of entering into this War, I have had such solemn
Assurances and Pledges of the Fidelity and good
Affections of My People.
"Whatever Colours may be endeavoured to be put
on these injurious Proceedings of the Court of France,
I can appeal to the whole World for the Rectitude
and Equity of My Conduct, always steadily directed
to the Defence of the ancient Allies of My Crown,
conformably to Treaties, to the Preservation of the
Balance and Liberties of Europe, and the Maintenance
of the Commerce and essential Interests of My Kingdoms, pursuant to the Advice of My Parliament,
without invading the Rights of any other Power.
"Under these Circumstances, I have declared War,
on My Part, against the French King; and have made
the proper Requisitions to My Allies, particularly The
States General of the United Provinces (whose Friendship I have so lately experienced), to join with Me,
and perform their Engagements, on this important
Occasion.
"Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
"I take this Opportunity to thank you for the
Readiness and Dispatch with which you have already
granted Me such large Supplies, and that on Terms
so advantageous to the Public, although we were
then actually menaced with an Invasion. It would
give Me the utmost Concern, to see our Expences increased by this new Event; but if you shall find any
Thing further necessary, for the Support of the
Honour of My Crown and your own Security, in
the present Conjuncture, I depend on your wonted
Zeal to provide for it.
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"In so just a Cause, I rely on the Divine Protection,
and on your vigorous and effectual Support and
Assistance. Let the Enemies of our Peace, who
have long aspired at the universal Monarchy of
Europe, and envied the Liberty and flourishing Condition of My Kingdoms in particular, see, that Great
Britain, in Conjunction with her Allies, is able to
withstand and defeat their destructive Projects. I
will do My Part: I have no Interest at Heart but
yours; and in that common Interest let us all unite."
The Speech being ended, His Majesty was pleased
to retire.
And the Commons withdrew.
The House was adjourned during Pleasure, to unrobe.
The House was resumed.
The Lord Chancellor reported His Majesty's Speech.
And the same being afterwards read by the Clerk:
Order for Address.
Ordered, That an humble Address be presented to
His Majesty, "To return Him the Thanks of this House,
for His most Gracious Speech from the Throne.
"To express our utmost Indignation at the Proceedings of the Court of France, in following their
unjust Attempt to invade this Kingdom, contrary to
the Faith of Treaties, by a Declaration of War,
filled with Insinuations injurious to the Honour of
His Majesty and the British Nation.
"To assure His Majesty, that as nothing could have
raised the Zeal and Ardour of this House, for the
Service and Support of His Majesty, to so high a
Pitch as these Measures of the French King; so His
Majesty may firmly rely on the utmost Efforts of all
His People, to make good the Assurances so lately
given Him, and effectually to assist Him in prosecuting
the War against France with the greatest Vigour.
"To acknowledge His Majesty's Goodness, in acquainting us with the Requisitions made by Him on
this Occasion to His Allies, particularly The States
General; and to desire His Majesty to continue those
Instances in the strongest Manner; this House not
doubting but the same Friendship which that Republic has so lately shewn for this Kingdom, and their
just Sense of our common Interest and Danger, will
induce them to join with His Majesty, and fulfil
their Engagements in this Conjuncture.
"To thank His Majesty for His gracious Declaration,
that He has no Interest at Heart but that of His
Kingdoms; and to assure Him, that we look upon
the Defence and Support of His Majesty, and of the
Protestant Succession in His Royal House, as the
only Security (under God) of the Religion, Laws,
and Liberties, of Great Britain, in which all true
Britons and Protestants will zealously and stedfastly
unite."

Address reported.
"Most Gracious Sovereign,
"We, Your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal Subjects, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament
assembled, return Your Majesty our humble Thanks,
for Your most Gracious Speech from the Throne.
"As the Preparations lately made by the Court of
France to invade this Kingdom, in Favour of a Popish
abjured Pretender, raised in us the utmost Resentment and Abhorrence; so the Disappointment, which,
through the good Providence of God, and Your
Majesty's Vigilance, that pernicious Design has met
with, fills our Hearts with the truest Joy and Satisfaction.
"A Proceeding so notoriously contrary to the Faith
of many Treaties, could have been aggravated by
nothing but the Declaration of War published by
the French King against Your Majesty; a Declaration
containing Insinuations so injurious to Your Majesty's
Royal Dignity, and to the Honour of the British
Name and Nation, that the Indignation which we
feel in ourselves makes us not doubt but it will have
the same just Effect on the Minds of all Your faithful
Subjects.
"Our Zeal for Your Majesty, Your Royal Family,
and Government; our Ardour for the Service and
Support of Your Majesty and our Country, at the
Expence of our Blood and Treasure; could not have
been augmented by any Circumstances but the
Measures now taken by France, unprovoked by any
Thing but Your Majesty's Endeavours to defend the
ancient and natural Allies of Your Crown, to preserve the Liberties of Europe, and to maintain the
Commerce and essential Interests of Your Kingdoms.
"If Great Britain could be wanting to Your Majesty
in so just a Cause; it must be wanting to itself. You
may therefore firmly rely on the utmost Efforts of
Your People, to make good the solemn Assurances
which they have so dutifully and so affectionately
given You, and effectually to stand by and assist Your
Majesty, in prosecuting the War against France with
the greatest Vigour.
"We acknowledge Your Majesty's Goodness, in acquainting us, That, upon this Event, You have made
the proper Requisitions to Your Allies, particularly
to The States General of the United Provinces; between whom and this Nation the strictest Ties do
happily subsist: We humbly beseech Your Majesty to
continue those Instances in the strongest Manner; not
doubting, but the same Friendship which that great
Protestant Republick has so lately shewn for this
Kingdom, and their just Sense of our common Interest and common Danger, will induce them to join
with Your Majesty, and to fulfil their Engagements
on the present Occasion.
"Your Majesty's gracious and paternal Declaration,
that you have no Interest at Heart but that of Your
Kingdoms, cannot fail to excite in all Your Subjects
the warmest Gratitude; and to cement that Considence
between King and People, which is so necessary in
this Conjuncture. Permit us, on our Part, to assure
Your Majesty, from the Bottom of our Hearts, that
we look upon the Defence and Support of Your
Majesty, and of the Protestant Succession in Your
Illustrious House, as the only Security (under God)
of our Religion, Laws, and Liberties; and that, in
this national and glorious Clause, all true Britons and
Protestants will zealously and stedfastly unite."
Ordered, That the said Address be presented to
His Majesty by the whole House.
Ordered, That the Lords with White Staves do
wait on His Majesty, humbly to know what Time He
will be pleased to appoint to be attended therewith.
E. Moray against Ross & al.
Ordered, That the Hearing of the Cause wherein
