"His Majesty having received undoubted Intelligence,

Ports of France, which are now in great Forwardness,
for invading this Kingdom with a considerable Number of Forces, in Support of the Rebellion carrying
on here in Favour of the Pretender to His Crown;
and some French Troops being already actually landed
in Scotland, under the Command of a Person who has
sent a Message to the Generals of some of His Majesty's Forces, declaring, "That he is come into this
Kingdom, to make War against His Majesty, by the
Orders of the French King;" His Majesty has thought
it proper to acquaint the House of Lords with an
Event of such high Importance to His Crown, and
to the Peace and Security of these Kingdoms: And
His Majesty having, the last Summer, taken into His
Service Six Thousand Hessian Troops, by virtue of a
Treaty concluded between His Majesty and the King
of Sweeden, Landgrave of Hesse Cassell, dated the Fifth/Sixteenth
Day of June last, has judged it necessary to direct
the said Hessian Troops to be brought into this Kingdom, in order, in Conjunction with His Majesty's
British Forces, the more effectually to repel the said
Invasion, and to suppress the present Rebellion: His
Majesty therefore doubts not, from the experienced
Zeal, Duty, and Affection, of the House of Lords,
that they will support Him in making good the said
Treaty, will strengthen His Hands, and concur in
all such Measures as shall be necessary for disappointing and defeating so dangerous an Attempt, and for
the Security of His Person and Government, and the
Religion, Laws, and Liberties, of this Kingdom:
His Majesty has also ordered a Copy of the said
Treaty to be laid before this House."
The Treaty.
The said Duke (by His Majesty's Command) presented to the House a Copy of the Treaty mentioned in
the said Message; with a Transtation thereof.
And the said Translation being read, by the Clerk:
Address to His Majesty.
Ordered, That an humble Address be presented to
His Majesty, "To return Him the Thanks of this
House, for His most Gracious Message; and for communicating to this House the Intelligence He has received, of the Preparations making in France, to invade this Kingdom, in Favour of a Popish Pretender
to His Crown; and that some French Troops are
already actually landed in Scotland, with a declared
Intent to make War against His Majesty: To express
our dutiful Sense of the just Confidence His Majesty
is pleased to repose in us; and our Abhorrence and
Indignation at so high an Insult upon His Majesty's
Crown, and so daring an Attempt against the Peace
and Security of His Kingdoms: To assure His Majesty
of the Support of this House, in making good the
Treaty concluded by Him the Fifth/Sixteenth Day of June
last, for taking into His Service the Six Thousand
Hessian Troops; and to thank His Majesty for His
seasonable Care, in directing the said Troops to be
brought into this Kingdom, in order the more effectually to repell any Invasion, and to suppress the present wicked and unnatural Rebellion: To give His
Majesty the strongest Assurances, that we will zealously
and vigorously concur in all such Measures as shall
be necessary, for strengthening His Majesty's Hands;
for defending His Sacred Person and undoubted Title
to the Crown of these Realms, against the Pretender
and all His Majesty's Enemies; for defeating the
Designs of France to enslave these Kingdoms; and
for the Preservation of our Religion, Laws, and
Liberties, which can only be secure under His Majesty's auspicious Government, and the Protestant
Succession in His Royal Family."
Ordered, That the said Address be presented to
His Majesty by the Lords with White Staves.
