King present.
His Majesty, being seated on the Throne, adorned
with His Crown, and Regal Ornaments, and attended
by His Officers of State, (the Lords being in their
Robes) commanded the Gentleman Usher of the
Black Rod to let the Commons know, "It is His
Majesty's Pleasure they attend him immediately in
this House."
Who being come, with their Speaker; His Majesty
was pleased to say,
His Majesty's Speech.
My Lords, and Gentlemen,
I meet you in Parliament, at a Time when We are
called upon by every Principle of Duty, and every
Consideration of Interest, to exert Our united Efforts
in the Support and Defence of Our Country, attacked
by an unjust and unprovoked War, and contending
with one of the most dangerous Confederacies that
ever was formed against the Crown and People of
Great Britain.
The Designs and Attempts of Our Enemies to
invade this Kingdom, have, by the Blessing of Providence, been hitherto frustrated and disappointed.
They still menace Us with great Armaments and Preparations; but We are, I trust, on Our Part, well
prepared to meet every Attack, and to repel every
Insult. I know the Character of My brave People :
The Menaces of their Enemies, and the Approach of
Danger, have no other Effect on their Minds but to
animate their Courage, and to call forth that National
Spirit which has so often checked and defeated the
Projects of Ambition and Injustice, and enabled the
British Fleets and Armies to protect their own
Country, to vindicate their own Rights, and, at the
same Time, to uphold and preserve the Liberties of
Europe from the restless and encroaching Power of the
House of Bourbon.
"In the Midst of My Care and Solicitude for the
Safety and Welfare of this Country, I have not been
inattentive to the State of My loyal and faithful
Kingdom of Ireland; I have, in consequence of your
Addresses presented to Me in the last Session, ordered
such Papers to be collected and laid before you, as
may assist your Deliberations on this important,Business; and I recommend it to you to consider what
further Benefits and Advantages may be extended to
that Kingdom, by such Regulations, and such Methods, as may most effectually promote the common
Strength, Wealth and Interests of all My Dominions."
Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
The proper Estimates shall, in due Time, be laid
before you. I see with extreme Concern, that the
necessary Establishments of My Naval and Military
Forces, and the various Services and Operations of
the ensuing Year, must inevirably be attended with
great and heavy Expences; but I rely on your Wisdom
and Public Spirit, for such Supplies as the Circumstances and Exigencies of Our Affairs shall be found
to require.
My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"I have great Satisfaction in renewing the Assurances
of My entire Approbation of the good Conduct and
Discipline of the Militia, and of their steady Perseverance in their Duty; and I return my cordial Thanks
to all Ranks of My loyal Subjects who have stood
forth in this arduous Conjuncture, and by their Zeal,
their Influence, and their personal Service, have given
Confidence as well as Strength to the National Defence. Trusting in the Divine Providence, and in the
Justice of My Cause, I am firmly resolved to prosecute
the War with Vigour, and to make every Exertion in
order to compel our Enemies to listen to equitable
Terms of Peace and Accommodation."
Then His Majesty was pleased to retire;
And the Commons withdrew;
The House was adjourned during Pleasure, to unrobe.
The House was resumed.

His Majesty's Speech reported:
The Lord Chancellor reported His Majesty's Speech;
and the same being read by the Clerk,
Motion for Address:
Moved, "That an humble Address be presented to
His Majesty, to return Him the Thanks of this House
for His most gracious Speech from the Throne.
To declare that the just Sense we have of the Blessings we enjoy under His Majesty's Government, and
the Indignation we feel at the unprovoked and unwarrantable Aggressions of our Enemies, who seek to deprive us of those Blessings, and threaten His Majesty's
Kingdoms with Invasion, will continue to animate our
Resolutions, and redouble our Efforts in the National
Defence; and we trust that those Efforts, seconded
by the Zeal of a faithful and loyal People, will, under
the Providence of God, be fully sufficient to repel every
Attack, to frustrate the Hopes, and defeat the Designs
of any Confederacy that may be formed against His
Majesty's Crown and Dominions.
That in such a Crisis the approach of Danger can
serve only to call forth that National Spirit which
always rises with the Occasion that demands it, but
never displayed itself in a more important Conjuncture,
though it has so often protected the Liberties of these
Kingdoms, and of Europe in general, and has enabled
the British Fleets and Armies to withstand and defeat
the Designs of that restless and aspiring Ambition,
which has fo frequently disturbed the Peace, and invaded the Rights of Mankind.
To express the Sense we have of His Majesty's
paternal Goodness, which does not confine itself to one
Part of His Dominions, but is anxious for the Prosperity of the Whole, and in the Midst of His Care
and Solicitude for the Safety and Welfare of this
Country, has led His Attention to the State of His
loyal and faithful Kingdom of Ireland.
To assure His Majesty, that, guided by the same
Sentiments which prompted the humble Address we
presented to His Majesty the last Session, we will continue our Attention to those important Objects, His
Majesty's Wisdom recommends; and after deliberately
weighing the Whole, will consider what further Benefits may be extended to that Kingdom, by such Regulations and such Methods, as may most effectually
promote the common Strength, Wealth, and Interests
of all His Majesty's Dominions.
To thank His Majesty for His Approbation of the
good Conduct and Discipline of the Militia, and of
their steady Perseverance in their Duty, and for the
Satisfaction He expresses in the Conduct of His loyal
Subjects of all Ranks, who have stood forth in this
arduous Conjuncture; and to assure Him, that in our
Opinion, such Approbation must redouble that Zeal,
extend that Influence, and increase those personal Exertions, which have given Confidence as well as
Strength to the National Defence.
To express the great Satisfaction we feel in His
Majesty's firm Resolution to prosecute the War with
Vigour, and to make every Exertion in order to
compel our Enemies to listen to equitable Terms of
Peace and Accommodation.
"To assure His Majesty, that such spirited and vigorous Measures, which must be conducive to so desirable an End, will meet with our most hearty Concurrence and firmest Support."
Amendment negatived.
Then an Amendment was proposed to be made to
the said Motion, by leaving out from the Word,
("Throne,") at the End of the First Paragraph, to the
End of the Motion, and instead thereof inserting the
following Words; (videlicet)
("To beseech His Majesty to reflect upon the Extent of Territory, the Power, the Opulence, the Reputation Abroad, and the Concord at Home, which
distinguished the opening of His Majesty's Reign, and
marked it as the most splendid and happy. Period
in the History of this Nation ; and to turn His Eyes
on the endangered, impoverished, enfeebled, distracted,
and even dismembered State of the Whole, after all the
Grants of successive Parliaments, liberal to Profusion,
and trusting to the very utmost Extent of rational
Confidence, His Majesty will naturally expect to receive the honest Opinion of a faithful and affectionate
Parliament, who would betray His Majesty and their
Country, if they did not distinctly state to His Majesty,
that if any Thing can prevent the Consummation of
Public Ruin, it can only be new Councils and new
Counsellors, without further Loss of Time; a real
Change, from a sincere Conviction of past Errors, and
not a mere Palliation which must prove fruitless.")
Which being objected to;
After long Debate,
The Question was put, "Whether the Words proposed to be left out, shall stand Part of the
Motion."
It was resolved in the Affirmative.
Then it was moved, "To agree to the said Motion
for an Address as at first proposed?"
The Question was put thereupon?
It was resolved in the Affirmative.
Then the Lords following were appointed a Committee

And the Earl of Chesterfield reported from the Committee, an Address drawn by them as follows; (videlicet)
Address reported.
Most Gracious Sovereign,
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.
The justSense we have of the Blessings we enjoy under
Your Majesty's Government, and the Indignation we
feel at the unprovoked and unwarrantable Aggression
of our Enemies, who seek to deprive us of those Blessings, and threaten Your Majesty's Kingdoms with Invasion, will continue to animate our Resolutions, and
redouble our Efforts in the National Defence. We
trust, that these Efforts, seconded by the Zeal of a
faithful and loyal People, will, under the Providence
of God, be fully sufficient to repel every Attack, to
frustrate the Hopes, and defeat the Designs of any
Confederacy that may be formed against Your Majesty's Crown and Dominions.
In such a Crisis, the approach of Danger can serve
only to call forth that National Spirit, which always
rises with the Occasion that demands it, but never displayed itself in a more important Conjuncture, though'
it has so often protected the Liberties of these Kingdoms, and of Europe in general, and has enabled the
British Fleets and Armies to withstand, and defeat the
Designs of that restless and aspiring Ambition, which
has fo frequently disturbed the Peace, and invaded the
Rights of Mankind.
We are deeply sensible of Your Majesty's Paternal
Goodness, which does not confine itself to One Part of
Your Dominions, but is anxious for the Prosperity of
the Whole ; and in the Midst of Your Care and Solicitude for the Safety and Welfare of this Country, has
led, Your Attention to the State of Your loyal and
faithful Kingdom of Ireland. Guided by the same
Sentiments, which prompted the humble Address we
presented to Your Majesty the last Session, we will
continue our Attention to those important Objects
Your Majesty's Wisdom recommends; and, after
deliberately weighing the Whole, will consider what
further Benefits may be extended to that Kingdom, by
such Regulations and such Methods, as may most
effectually promote the common Strength, Wealth,
and Interests of all Your Majesty's Dominions.
Your Majesty's Approbation of the good Conduct
and Discipline of the Militia, and of their steady Perseverance in their Duty, and the Satisfaction Your
Majesty expresses in the Conduct of Your loyal Subjects of all Ranks, who have stood forth in this arduous
Conjuncture, must redouble that Zeal, extend that
Influence, and increase those personal Exertions, which
have given Confidence as well as Strength to the
National Defence.
"We see, with great Satisfaction, that Your Majesty,
trusting in the Divine Providence, and in the Justice of
Your Cause, is firmly resolved to prosecute the War
with Vigour, and to make every Exertion in order to
compel our Enemies to listen to equitable Terms of
Peace and Accommodation. Such spirited and vigorous Measures must be conducive to fo desirable an
End ; and we humbly beg Leave to assure Your Majesty, that they will meet with our most hearty Concurrence and firmest Support."
Which Address, being read by the Clerk, was agreed
to by the House.
Ordered, That the said Address be presented to His
Majesty by the whole House.
Ordered, That the Lords with White Staves do
wait on His Majesty, humbly to know what Time His
Majesty will please to appoint to be attended therewith.
