terest which. they have manifested 
en the happy event of the prince’s 
marriage, that they wiil be ready 
to concur in such a provision as 
shall be deemed necessary to settle 
an establishment on the prince and 
princess of Wales, suitable to their 
sank and dignity. On an occasion 
so satisfactory in all other respects, 
his majesty feels the deepest regret 
in communicating to the house, 
that the benefit of any settlement 
that may be made must fail in its 
most desirable effect, if means be 
not provided to extricate his royal 
highness from the incumbrances 
uoder which he labours, to a great 
amount. 
Anxious as his majesty must be 
to relieve the prince of Wales, his 
majesty entertains no idea of pro- 
posing the payment of his royal 
highness’s debts in any other man- 
ner than by appropriating a part of 
his income, and the revenues of 
the duchy of Cornwall, to the pay- 
ment of such debts : and his majes- 
ty will be ready to co-operate inany 
» plan which the wisdom of the house 
may devise, for establishing a ready 
and punctual order of payment, 
and for guarding against the pos- 
sibility of the prince’s being again 
involved in any similar embarrass- 
ments, 
His Majes'y's Speech fram the Throne 
on ed simy the Session, Fune 27. 
My Jords aid gentlemen, 
THE zealous and uniform rte- 
gard which you have shewn to the 
general interests of my people, and 
particularly the prudent, firm, and 
spirited support which you have 
continued to afford me in the pro- 
secution of the great contest in 
which we are still unavoidably en- 
‘gaged, demand my warmest ac- 
337 
knowledgments. The encourarze- 
ment which my allies must de. 
rive from the knowledge of your 
sentiments, and the extraordinary 
exertions which you have enabled 
me to make in supporting and aug. 
menting my naval and military 
forces, afford the means most likely 
to conduce to the restoration of 
peace to these kingdoms, and to 
the re-establishment of general tram. 
quillity on a secure, an honourable, 
and a lasting foundation. 
Gentlemen of ihe House of Com- 
mons, 
I have to rctura you my hearty 
thanks for the iiberal and ample 
supplies which the resources of the 
country have enabled you to pro. 
vide, beyond all former example, 
‘for the various exigencies of the 
- public service. 
I have also to acknowledge, with 
peculiar sensibility, the recent proof 
which you have given me of your 
attachment to my person and fa- 
mily, in the provision which you 
have made for set:ling the establish- 
ment of the prince and princess of 
Wales, and forext ricatiny the prince 
from the incumbrances in which he 
was involved, 
My lords and g-ntizmop, 
Tt is impossible to contemplate 
the internal situation of the enemy 
with whom we are contending with. 
cut indulging ap hope, that the 
present circumstances of Francemay 
in their effects hasten the retutn of 
such a state of order and regular 
government as may be capable of 
maintaining the accustomed rela- 
tions of amity and peace with other 
powers. 
The issue, however, of these ex. 
traordinary transactions is out of 
the reach of human foresight.
