King present:
His Majesty, being seated on the Throne, adorned
with His Crown and Regal Ornaments, and attended by
His Officers of State (the Lords being in their Robes),
commanded the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod to
let the Commons know, "It is His Majesty's Pleasure
they attend Him immediately, in this House."
Who being come, with their Speaker;
His Majesty was pleased to speak, as follows; (videlicet,)
His Majesty's Speech.
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"I found, on My Accession to the Throne, these My
Kingdoms engaged in a bloody and expensive War:
I resolved to prosecute it with the utmost Vigour;
determined, however, to consent to Peace, upon just
and honourable Terms, whenever the Events of War
should incline the Enemy to the same pacifick Disposition.
"A Negotiation was accordingly begun last Year,
which proved ineffectual. The War became afterwards more general, by the Resolution of the Court
of Madrid to take Part with My Enemy, notwithstanding My best Endeavours to prevent it.
"This, with the unexpected Attack of My natural
and good Ally the King of Portugal, greatly affected
our Commerce, multiplied the Objects of our Military
Operations, and increased our Difficulties, by adding
to the heavy Burdens under which this Country already laboured.
"My Object still continued the same, to attain an
honourable Peace, by pursuing this more extensive
War in the most vigorous Manner. I embraced there
fore an Occasion offered Me of renewing the Negotiation; but at the same Time I exerted so effectually
the Strength which you had put into My Hands, and
have been so well served by My Fleets and Armies in
the Execution of My Plans, that History cannot furnish Examples of greater Glory, or greater Advantages, acquired by the Arms of this or any other
Nation in so short a Period of Time. My General
Prince Ferdinand of Brunswick, and My Army in Germany, have gained immortal Honour, by many signal
Advantages obtained during the Course of this Campaign, over an Enemy superior in Numbers. The
Progress of the French and Spanish Arms in Portugal
has been stopped, and that Kingdom preserved, by the
Firmness and Resolution of its Sovereign, and by the
Military Talents of the reigning Count La Lippe,
seconded by the Valour of the Troops under his
Command. Martinico and other Islands in The West
Indies have been conquered: The Havannah, a Place
of the utmost Importance to Spain, is in My Possession; and with it great Treasures, and a very considerable Part of the Navy of Spain, are fallen into
our Hands.
"I cannot mention these Atchievements, which reflect such Honour on My Crown, without giving My
publick Testimony to the unwearied Perseverance and
unparalleled Bravery of My Officers and Private
Men, by Sea and Land; who, by repeated Proofs,
have shewn that no Climate, no Hardships, no Dangers, can check the Ardour, or resist the Valour, of
the British Arms.
"Next to the Assistance of Almighty God, it is
owing to their Conduct and Courage, that My Enemies have been brought to accept of Peace, on such
Terms as, I trust, will give My Parliament entire Satisfaction. Preliminary Articles have been signed by
My Minister, with those of France and Spain; which
I will order, in due Time, to be laid before you.
"The Conditions of these are such, that there is not
only an immense Territory added to the Empire of
Great Britain, but a solid Foundation laid for the
Increase of Trade and Commerce; and the utmost
Care has been taken to remove all Occasions of future
Disputes between My Subjects and those of France
and Spain, and thereby to add Security and Permanency to the Blessings of Peace.
"While I carefully attended to the effential Interests
of My own Kingdoms, I have had the utmost Regard
to the good Faith of My Crown, and the Interests of
My Allies: I have made Peace for the King of Portugal, securing to Him all His Dominions; and all the
Territories of the King of Prussia, as well as of My
other Allies in Germany, or elsewhere, occupied by
the Armies of France, are to be immediately evacuated.
"Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
"I have ordered the proper Estimates to be laid before you; and shall, without Delay, proceed to make
Reductions to the utmost Extent, wherever they may
be found consistent with Wisdom and found Policy.
It is the greatest Affliction for Me to find, that though
the War is at an End, our Expenses cannot immediately
be so much lessened as I desire: But, as nothing could
have carried us through the great and arduous Difficulties surrounding us but the most vigorous and expensive Efforts, we must expect for some Time to feel
the Consequences of them to a considerable Degree.
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"It was impossible to execute what this Nation has
so gloriously performed in all Parts of the World,
without the Loss of great Numbers of Men. When
you consider this Loss, whether on the Principles of
Policy or Humanity, you will see one of the many
Reasons which induced Me to enter early into Negotiation, so as to make a considerable Progress in it
before the Fate of many Operations was determined;
and now to hasten the Conclusion of it, to prevent
the Necessity of making Preparations for another
Campaign. As by this Peace My Territories are
greatly augmented, and new Sources opened for
Trade and Manufactures; it is My earnest Desire, that
you would consider of such Methods, in the Settlements of our new Acquisitions, as shall most effectually tend to the Security of those Countries, and to
the Improvement of the Commerce and Navigation
of Great Britain. I cannot mention our Acquisitions
without earnestly recommending to your Care and
Attention My gallant Subjects, by whose Valour they
were made. We could never have carried on this
extensive War without the greatest Union at Home.
You will find the same Union peculiarly necessary, in
order to make the best Use of the great Advantages
acquired by the Peace; and to lay the Foundation of
that Œconomy, which we owe to ourselves and to
our Posterity, and which can alone relieve this Nation
from the heavy Burdens brought upon it by the
Necessities of this long and expensive War."
Then His Majesty was pleased to retire; and the
Commons withdrew.

And the same being 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 entreat His Majesty to accept our most sincere
and servant Congratulations on the Birth of an Heir
to His Crown, which adds to His Domestick Happiness, and endears His Royal Confort to the People of
these Realms; and promises that, under a Prince
formed to the Arts of Government by His Royal Instruction and Example, the Civil and Religious Liberties, the Glory, the Commerce, and the Power, of
Great Britain will be transmitted to Posterity.
"To acknowledge, with the utmost Gratitude, His
Majesty's unwearied Attention to the Prosperity and
Happiness of His People, which made Him constantly
solicitous, even amidst the Glory of His Victories, to
deliver them from the Burdens of War, by a just
and honourable Peace.
"To admire the Wisdom which pointed out to His
Majesty the Exertion of the most vigorous Efforts, as
the furest Means of procuring this Blessing for His
People.
"To offer to His Majesty our humble Congratulations on the signal Successes which have attended His
Arms in the Course of the present Year; on the
Reduction of the strong Island of Martinico; on the
Conquest of The Havannah, the Bulwark of the Spanish Colonies; and on the Acquisition of so much
Treasure, and so great a Part of the Spanish Marine;
on the many Advantages obtained in Germany over
the Arms of France, although superior in Numbers,
by the able Conduct of His Majesty's General Prince
Ferdinand of Brunswick, and by the Valour of the
Troops under his Command; and on the Preservation
of Portugal from the Dangers which threatened instantly to overwhelm it, and which could not have
been so long withstood but by the Firmness of its
Sovereign, by the Military Talents of the reigning
Count La Lippe, and by the Valour of the Troops
employed in that Service. To acknowledge that these
Atchievements are equal to whatever has been performed in any former Year even of this prosperous
War, though a new Enemy necessarily made our Military Operations more extensive, and added new Difficulties to those we struggled with before: That these
Atchievements reflect the highest Honour on the
Councils which planned them, on the Commanders
who carried them into Execution, and on the Fleets
and Armies whose Intrepidity no Dangers could dismay.
"To express, in the most servent and grateful Manner, our Joy and Congratulations, that, by these repeated Efforts, His Majesty has at length compelled
His Enemies to consent to Terms of Peace.
"To thank His Majesty for having informed His Parliament, that Preliminary Articles are already signed
by His Minister and those of France and Spain; and
for His most gracious Assurances, that He will cause
these Articles, in due Time, to be laid before them;
and for the Lights He has been pleased to give concerning the Conditions of them, which afford to His
People the fairest Prospect of future Happiness, Prosperity, and Security.
"To assure His Majesty, that we will not fail, on our
Part, to take, as soon as possible, into our Consideration the proper Methods for the Settlement of our
new Acquisitions, for improving the Commerce of
them, and thereby making them useful to the Mother
Country; and that, sensible of the Merits of those
gallant Men, by whose Valour these Acquisitions have
been made, we shall be ready to concur in every reasonable Proposition for rewarding them: That, lamenting as we do the Loss of so many of them, by
which the National Strength is greatly impaired, we
cannot but admire that Wisdom which seized the fortunate Hour of reaping the Advantages of our Victories, while we were yet on the Summit of our
Glory, and before any Reverse of Fortune had happened: And that, in grateful Return for those many
Blessings which His Majesty's Fortitude and Wisdom
have procured for us, His Majesty may depend on our
warmest Zeal, on our constant Endeavours, to promote
that Unanimity His Majesty recommends in all our
Proceedings; and on our Attention to those Measures
of Œconomy which are the peculiar Business of
Times of Peace, and which alone can relieve us from
the oppressive Burdens of so long and so expensive a
War."

humble Thanks, for Your most Gracious Speech from

"Permit us, Sir, to take this earliest Opportunity to
