to receive from his auguft ally, the Emperor 
of Ruffia, the ftrongeft affurances of un- 
fhaken adherence to that generous and en- 
lightened peticy by which he has hitherto 
been aftuated ; and his Majefty has no doube 
that you will be fully fenfible of the impor- 
tant advantages to be derived, from preferving 
at all times, the clofeit and moft intimate 
connection with that fovereiga. 
€¢ Gentlemen of the Houle of Commons. 
«6 His Majefty has directed the eftimates 
for the yeat to be laid before you, and lias 
commanded us to inform sou, that they are 
framed uson that (cale of exertion which the 
prefent Situation of the country renders indif- 
penfable. His Majefty fully relies upon your 
granting him fuch fupplies, as, upon due deli- 
beration, the public exigencies may appear to 
tequire. 
‘* Ic is his earneft wifh to contribute, by 
every means in his power, to alleviate the 
additional burthens which muft neceffarily be 
impofed upon his people, and with this view 
he has dire&ed the fur of one million fter- 
ling, part of the proceeds arifing from the 
fale of fuch prizes made on the powers with 
which he is at war, as are by law vefted in 
the Crown, to be applied to the public fer- 
vice of the year. 
«¢ My Lords and Gentlemen, 
6¢ His Majetty is moft fully perfuaded, 
that whatever pride and confidence you may 
feel in common with him in the fuccefs 
which has diftinguifhed the Britifh arms in 
the courfe of the prefent conteft, you will 
be fenfible how much the events of the war 
on the Continent, by which the predominant 
power and influence of France have been fo 
unhappily extended, require the continuance 
of ail pofiible vigilance and exertion. Under 
this impreffion his“ Majeity trufts that your

attention will be invariably dire&ted to the 
improvement of thofe means which are to be 
found in the bravery and difcipline of bis 
forces, in the zeal and loyalty‘of every clits 
of his fubjeéts, and in the unexhaufted re~ 
fources of his dominions, for rendering the 
Britifh Empire invincible at home, as well as 
formidable. abroad; fatisfied that by fuch 
efforts alone the conteft can be brought to 4 
concluficn confifent with the fafety and in- 
dependence of the country, and with its tak 
amongft the nations of the world.” —_ 
The debate which was expected as the 
refult of this Addrefs was poftponed by 
the oppofition on account of the illnefs of 
Mr. Pitt. Earl Cowper in the Houfe of 
Peers, and Lord Henry Petty in the Com- 
mons read as part of their refpective 
fpeeches the amendment which they in- 
tended to have propofed. The amend- 
ment fully admits the neceffity of vi- 
gorous exertions on the part of Go- 
vernmest for the future, as well as of 
‘ftri& enquiry with regard to the paft, in 
order That the refources which they 
furnifh, and the powers they confer, may 
not in future be fo employed as to in-~ 
creafe the perils that they were intended 
to avert, and to aggrandife that power, 
to which it is the common intereit of all 
Europe, as well as of Great Britain, to 
fet proper limits.” [The fubfequent death 
of Mr. Pitt has fince led to the formation 
of a new and dble adminiftration, which 
promiles the happiet confequences to the 
country, and a total chanze of thofe mea- 
fures, the deliterious effeét of which has 
for many years been deplored by every 
true patriot. }
