Message from the King to the House of 
Commons, Feb. 4, 1795- 
Georce Rex. 
H* majesty thinks it proper to 
acquaint the house, that he 
has received from the emperor 
strong assurances of a disposition to 
make the greatest exertions for the 
common cause in the courre of the 
next campaign. But it is repre- 
sented on the part of his Imperial 
majesty, thar these efforts cannot 
be made without the assistance of 
aloan, which his Imperial majesty 
is desirous of raising cn the credit 
of the revenues of his hereditary 
dominions, under the guarantee of 
his majesty, with the concurrence 
of parliament, to the extent of 
four millions; and it is stated that 
_ such loan, in addition to his other 
resources, would enable his Impe- 
rial majesty to employ against the 
common enemy the force of 203,000 
efleGive men. His majesty is of 
opinion that, on these grounds, 
such an arrangement would be 
beneficial to the common cause, 
but thinks that it would be still 
more advantageous, if, by the means 
of a similar loan toa larger extent, 
the emperor should be enabled to 
employ a force still more consider. 
able ; and his majesty has desired his 
minister at Vienna to express his 
readiness to recommend to his par- 
liament an arrangement founded

on that principle. Some tempo- 
rary advance which his majesty 
was induced to make for the imme- 
diate supply of the Austrian army, 
under the pressure of unforeseen 
circumstances in the latter part of 
the Jast campaign, will be included 
in any arrangement of this nature ; 
as soon as the negotiation is con. 
cluded, his majesty will not fail to 
communicate the result to parlia- 
ment; but as any measure of this 
sort is necessarily conneéted with 
the consideration of the provision 
to be made for the current service 
of the year, his majesty has thought 
it right not to delay making this 
communication; and he relies on 
the zeal and public spirit of his 
faithful commons, for taking such 
measures; as, on full consideration 
of all the circumstances, they may 
think most conducive to the imme- 
diate interests of this country, at 
the present conjuncture, and to 
the great object of re-establishing 
on secure and honourable grounds, 
the peace and tranquillity of these 
kingdoms and ef Europe.
