His Majesty Speech.
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"You having now dispatched all the Public Business
that it was practicable for you to go through with at
present; and the Season of the Year being so far
advanced; I believe it will not be disagreeable to you,
that I give you an Opportunity of retiring into the
Country, by putting an End to this Session of Parliament.
"It is unnecessary for Me to represent to you the
happy State and Situation of Public Affairs, both at
Home and Abroad. You must all be sensible of what
is universally seen and felt, in the full Enjoyment of
a general Peace. The Concurrence of The States
General in the late Treaty of Vienna has perfected the
Establishment of the Public Tranquillity, as far as
human Prudence can foresee or provide; and a faithful Observance and Execution of the Treaties and
Alliances now subsisting among the several Princes
and Powers of Europe, free from groundless Jealousies,
and void of all ambitious Views, will be the most
effectual Means to continue and preserve these Blessings to us.
"Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
"I return you My Thanks, for the Provisions you
have made for the Defence and Security of the
Kingdom, and for carrying on the Service of the
current Year. It is a great Satisfaction to Me, to see
you have turned your Thoughts towards raising
the necessary Supplies by such Methods as may be
the least Burthensome to My People: And as this
cannot but be received in the Country as a most
grateful and acceptable Service, I hope it will encourage you to pursue such Measures for the future,
as may on all Occasions render the Supplies that
shall be necessary as equal and easy as is possible.
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"It being necessary for Me to visit My German Dominions this Year; I have determined to leave the
Queen Regent here during My Absence; and I doubt
not but it will be your Endeavours to make the
Government as easy to Her, as I am confident, it will
be Her Care, by a just and prudent Administration,
to deserve your Duty and Regard. I recommend to
you all, in your several Stations, to study and con
sult the Preservation of the Peace and Quiet of the
Kingdom."
His Majesty's Speech being ended;
The Lord Chancellor received His Majesty's Commands.
And, being returned to his Place, said,
Parliament prorogued.
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"It is His Majesty's Royal Will and Pleasure, that
this Parliament be prorogued to Thursday the Twentyseventh Day of July next, to be then here held: And
this Parliament is accordingly prorogued to Thursday
the Twenty-seventh Day of July next."
