Then His Majesty was pleased to speak as follows:
His Majesty's Speech.
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"The Publick Business for which you were assembled being now happily concluded, the advanced
Season of the Year calls upon Me to put an End to
this Session of Parliament; which I cannot do without
expressing the highest Approbation of the Zeal, Unanimity, and Dispatch, which have so signally appeared
in the Course of your Proceedings.
"At the Opening of this Session, I informed you,
that it had been My earnest Wish to restore the
Blessings of Peace to My People; but that it was
My fixed Resolution, with your Concurrence and Support, to carry on the War in the most effectual
Manner, till that desireable Object could be obtained
upon equitable and honourable Conditions. My Sentiments in both these respects continue invariably
the same; and I have the Satisfaction to find them
confirmed by the unanimous Voice of My Parliament.
"The Declaration which Motives of Humanity have
engaged the Emperor of Russia to make to all the
Courts in that Alliance, and the great and happy
Change in the Situation of My Ally the King of
Prussia give us just Reason to hope, that the other
Belligerant Powers may be induced to entertain the
same pacifick Dispositions. On the other Hand, our
Rupture with Spain, notwithstanding My utmost Endeavours to prevent it, and the violent and unprovoked Attack with which the Dominions of My
ancient Ally the King of Portugal are threatened,
sufficiently evince the Wisdom and Necessity of that
Firmness and Resolution in My Parliament, which
have enabled Me to continue Our Military Operations
without the least Interruption or Delay, and considerably to augment My Fleets and Armies in those
Parts in which our Enemies can be most sensibly
distressed. The signal Success of My Arms in the
Conquest of Martinico, and the Acquisition of many
other valuable Settlements in The West Indies, have,
under the Blessing of God, been the happy Consequences of these Measures. I trust in the Divine
Providence, that they will be attended with still
further Advantages, until the Powers at War with
Us shall be disposed to such Terms of Accommodation,
as the Dignity and just Rights of My Crown, and the
future Security and Commercial Interests of My Subjects, will permit Me to accept.
"Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
"When I consider the ample Supplies which you
have granted, I cannot but lament the heavy Burdens
which the Necessities of the Publick Service have
obliged you to impose upon My People. From this
Consideration, I have endeavoured, in every Instance,
to restrain My Demands within as narrow Bounds as
the Difficulties in which I found Myself involved
would allow. From the same Motive, My utmost
Care shall be employed to exert the most exact
Œconomy, consistent with the Safety of My Kingdoms, and the good Faith and Honour of My
Crown.
"I return you My particular Thanks, for the Proof
which you have given of your Regard to Me and
to My Family, in the ample Provision you have
made for the Queen; whose Virtues and Affection to
this Country will, I am confident, be found to deserve it.
My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"I have the fullest Persuasion, that you will continue to dissuse in your several Counties that Spirit
of Concord which you have yourselves so steadily
exerted in Parliament: And you may be assured, that
I will, on My Part, return your Zeal and Affection
for My Person and Government, by a constant Attention to whatever may contribute to the Ease of
My Subjects; and that it is My ardent Wish, to
found the Glories of My Reign on the Union of
My People, and on the Welfare and Prosperity of
these My Kingdoms."
Then the Lord Chancellor, having received Directions
from His Majesty, said,
Parliament prorogued.
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"It is His Majesty's Royal Will and Pleasure, that
this Parliament be prorogued to Thursday the 15th
Day of July next, to be then here held: And this
Parliament is accordingly prorogued to Thursday the
15th Day of July next."
