that nation, we concurred in the 
general fentiments of the whole 
kingdom, exprefled by the two 
houies of parliament, on receiving 
your majetty’s moft gracious mef- 
fage in the laft feffion ; and we be- 
held with confidence the vigorous 
meafures which were adopted to 
gain full fatisfaétion for the injuries 
done, and to maintain the honour 
and dignity of the Britifh empire 5 
to which meafures, and to your ma- 
jefty’s paternal regard for the inte- 
refts of your people, next to Divine 
Providence, we thankfully afcribe 
the happy iffue of the late difagree- 
ments. 
Your majefty’s faithful citizens of 
London are too well convinced of 
the falutary confequences of conti- 
nued peace, to delay their congra- 
tulations upon the reconciliation 
with Spain; for, notwithftanding 
they have ever manifetted their rea- 
dinefs to beat a proportion of bur- 
thens created by the profecution of 
a juit war, they cannot but moft 
ardently rejoice at the termination 
of pending hoftilities, at a time 
when the reduction of the national 
debt is an objet of importance to 
your people. 
Deign, fire, to accept our moft 
cordial wifhes, that your majefty’s 
reign may long continue in peace 
and profperity ‘ever a grateful and 
affectionate people,
