King presents
His Majesty, being seated on the Throne, adorned
with His Crown and Regal Ornaments, and attended by
His Officers of State; the Duke of Cumberland (in his
Robes) sitting in his Place on His Majesty's Left
Hand (the Lords being also in their Robes); the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod received His Majesty's
Commands, to let the Commons know, "It is His
Majesty's Pleasure, that they attend Him immediately,
in this House."
Who being come, with their Speaker; His Majesty
spake as follows; (videlicet,)
His Majesty's Speech.
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"I have received so many Proofs of the good Affections and Zeal of My People for My Person and Government, that every Opportunity of meeting them
in Parliament gives Me a new Satisfaction. The
Maintenance of the general Peace, already happily
established, is so desirable for all Europe, that all My
Views and Negotiations have been entirely calculated
and directed to preserve it, and secure its Duration. I
am still proceeding, and shall continue, to act upon the
same Principle; nothing being capable of giving Me
so much Comfort as that My good Subjects may long
enjoy the happy Fruits of the present Tranquillity:
I have the Satisfaction to be assured of a good Disposition in all the Powers in Alliance with Me to adhere
to the same salutary Object; and the Measures which
have been taken in different Parts of Europe for that
Purpose cannot fail to give additional Strength and
Solidity to the Provisions made by the Treaty of Aix
la Chapelle.
"Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
"The Estimates for the current Year shall be laid
before you by My Order. I have no Supplies to ask
of you, but what shall be necessary for the ordinary
Services, and such as have been already communicated
to you; and for the Security of the Nation, and the
Support of its Trade and Commerce, on which the
essential Interests of this Kingdom depend. I must at
the same Time earnestly recommend the Continuance
of your Attention to the Reduction of the National
Debt, the Improvement of the Publick Revenue, and
augmenting the Sinking Fund.
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"I hope you will find that the Laws made the last
Session of Parliament, for suppressing those Crimes and
Disorders which have been so justly complained of,
have had a good Effect. Whatsoever is further necessary to perfect so laudable a Work deserves your serious Consideration; that, whilst we enjoy Peace Abroad,
we may maintain good Order and Regularity at Home.
My hearty Concurrence and Endeavours shall never
be wanting, in any Thing that may promote your
Welfare and Prosperity."
The Speech being ended; His Majesty was pleased to
retire, and the Commons withdrew.
The House was adjourned during Pleasure, to unrobe.
The House was resumed.

"We, Your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal Subjects,
the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, beg Leave to return Your Majesty our humble
Thanks, for Your most Gracious Speech from the
Throne.
"Your Majesty's Paternal Care of Your People, in
establishing the Peace, can receive no Addition but
from Your constant and vigilant Endeavours to preserve to them the happy Fruits of it. Whilst we
gratefully remember the one, and feel the good
Effects of the other, we do, with the justest Confidence, rely on Your Majesty's experienced Wisdom
and Goodness, in directing all Your Views and Negotiations to that desirable End.
"It gives us great Satisfaction, to be informed from
the Throne of the good Disposition of all the Powers
in Alliance with Your Majesty to maintain the present
Tranquillity. Convinced that this is the real Interest
of the other Nations of Europe as well as our own,
we rejoice in every Event that may give Strength
and Solidity to the Provisions made by the General
Definitive Treaty. We are deeply sensible that nothing can so much contribute to these Purposes as the
Influence of Your Majesty and the Crown of Great
Britain. And we beg Leave to assure You of our
Resolution and Earnestness to strengthen Your Majesty's Hands; and, so far as depends upon us, to add
Weight to Your Measures, to render the Peace durable, for the common Good of Europe, the lasting
Benefit of Your own Kingdoms, and the Security of
our Commerce and Navigation; the Support and Advancement whereof we consider as the great Source
and solid Basis of our Riches and Strength.
"Your Majesty's Concern for our domestic Happiness appears in nothing more than in so graciously
recommending to Your Parliament the salutary Work
of maintaining good Order and Regularity amongst
the People. We look upon it as essential to the National Happiness; and as the most likely Means, not
only to entitle us to Your Majesty's Gracious Approbation, but to draw down upon us the Protection of
the Divine Providence.
"To repeat only our solemn Assurances of unfeigned
Gratitude for the inestimable Blessings we enjoy under Your auspicious Government, would not sufficiently express the Warmth of those Sentiments which
we feel in our Hearts: Our Loyalty, Duty, and
Affection to Your Sacred Person, are raised to the
greatest Height; and our Zeal for the Ease, Prosperity, and true Glory of Your Reign, and for perpe
tuating the Succession to this Crown, which You wear
with so much Lustre, in a Race of Princes descended
from Yourself, is incapable of any Addition."

Majesty will be pleased to appoint to be attended therewith.
