STATE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS IN AUGUST, 
Containing oficial and authentic Documents.

‘GREAT -BRITAIN. 
N the 14th of August the first Ses- 
sions of the new Parliament closed 
with the following Speech, madein the 
name of his Majesty, by the Lords Com- 
missioners :— 
©¢ Wy Lords and Gentlemen, 
“© We have it in command, from lis 
Ma#esty, to express the satisfaction with 
which he finds himself enabled to give you 
that recéss which, after the great and dili- 
geut exertions which you have made in the 
dispatch of public business, must, at this ad- 
vanced season of the year, be so peculiarly de- 
sirable. 
“¢ His Majesty has been graciously pleased 
to directsus to return you his thanks for the 
steady loyalty and attachment to his person 
and government, and the zealous devotion to 
the public service which hawe’characterised 
all your deliberations, and most especially to 
thank you for the seasonable exertions which 
you have enable him to make for the aug- 
mentation of thi military force of his king- 
dom. 
“© Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 
*¢ His Majesty has commanded us to return 
you. his warmest thanks for the supplies 
which you have granted with so much 
cheerfulness, for the current year ; and when 
he considers the provision .ou have made for 
those contingent and ynforeseen services, 
Which the events of the war may’ render ue- 
cessary, his Majesty has the greatest satisfac- 
tion in recognizing the wisdom wherewith, in 
a time of extraordinary difficulties, you have 
anticipated the possible demands which those 
‘@itficulties may occasion. 
& My Lords and Gentlemen, 
‘* His Majesty commands us to assure youy 
that he deeply deploves the unfortunate issue 
of the war uvon the Continent, 
_ The immense extension of the power 
‘and influence of France, and the undiszuised 
determination of the enemy to employ the 
means and resources of those countries which 
he possesses or controuls, for the purpose of 
effecting the ruin of this kingdom, undoubi- 
edly present a formidable view of the dangers 
and difficulties which this country has te ene 
counter. 
*< But his Majesty trusts, that the loyal 
and brave people over whom he reigns ure 
not to be discouraged or disheartened, 
‘¢ From the recollection of those difkoule 
ties under which-his people have successfully 
struggled, and of thease dangers which they 
have happily surmounted, his Mejesty de- 
rives the consolation of believing, that the 
same spirit and perseverance which. have hie 
therto remained unbroken, will continue to 
be exerted with unabated vigour and success. 
‘© And while his Majesty commands us te 
repeat the assurances of his constant readiness 
to entertain any proposals that may lead to.a 
secure and hoscurable peace, he commands us 
at the same time te express his confidence 
that his Parliament and People will feel with 
him the necessity ot persevering in those yi- 
gorous eforts which alone can give the cha. 
racter of honour to any negociation, or the 
prospect of securily or permanency to any 
peace. 
‘6 His Majesty, therefore, trusts that his 
people will be always ready to support him ip 
every measure which may be necessary to dew 
feat the designs of his eneroics against the - 
; ‘independence
