His Majesty's Speech to both Houfes My Lords and Gentlemen, P THE many proofs which you have given of your affectionate attachment to my perfon and family, leave me no doubt of your participating in the fatisfaction which I derive from the happy event of the marriage which has been celebrated between my fon the Duke of York, and the eldest daughter of my good brother and ally the King of Pruffia; and I am perfuaded that I may expect your cheerful concurrence in enabling me to make a fuitable provifion for their eftablishment. Since I laft met you in parliament, a definitive treaty has been concluded under my mediation, and that of my allies, the King of Pruffia and the States General of the United Provinces, between the Emperor and the Ottoman Porte, on principals which appear the beft calculated to prevent future difputes between those powers. Our intervention has alfo been employed with a view to promote a pacification between the Emprefs of Ruffia and the Porte; and conditions have been agreed upon between us and the former of thofe powers, which we undertook to recommend to the Porte, as the re of eftablishment of peace, on fuch terms appeared to be, under all the exifting circumstances, a defirable event for the feveral interests of Europe. I am in expectation of fpeedily receiving the account of the conclufion of the definitive treaty of peace, preliminaries having been fome time fince agreed upon between those powers. I have directed copies of the definitive treaty between the Emperor and the Porte to be laid before you, as well as fuch papers as are neceffary to fhew the terms of peace which have been under difcuffion during the negotiation with the court of Petersburgh. ⠀ I regret that I am not yet enabled to inform you of the termination of the war in India; but the fuccefs which has already attended the diftinguished bravery and exertion of the officers and troops under the able conduct of Lord Cornwallis, affords reasonable ground to hope that the war may speedily be brought to an honourable conclu fion. The friendly affurances which I receive from foreign powers, and the general state of affairs in Eu rope, appear to promife to my fubjects the continuance of their prefent tranquillity. Under thefe circumftances, I am induced to think that some immediate reduction may fafely fafely be made in our naval and military establishments; and my regard for the interefts of my fubjects renders me at all times defirous of availing myself of every favourable opportunity to diminish the public expences. Gentlemen of the House of I am perfuaded it will give you great fatisfaction to learn that the extraordinary expences incurred in the courfe of last year, have, in a great measure, been already defrayed by the grants of the feffion. The ftate of our refources will, I truft, be found more than fufficient to provide for the remaining part of thefe expences, as well as for the current service of the year, the ef My Lords and Gentlemen, The continued and progreffive improvement in the internal fituation of the country, will, I am confident, animate you in the purfuit of every meafure which may be conducive to the public intereft. It muft at the fame time operate as the strongest encouragement to a fpirit of ufeful induftry among all claffes of my fubjects; and above ali, muft confirm and increafe their fteady and zealous attachment to that conftitution which we have found, by long experience, to unite the inestimable bleffings of liberty and order, and to which, under the favour of Providence, all our other advantages are principally to be afcribed. timates of which I have directed to Speech of Mr. Speaker to his Majefty, be laid before you. I entertain the pleafing hope, that the reduction which may be April 5, 1792. Moft gracious Sovereign, T is my duty to tender to your found practicable in the establifh-Majefty two bills, in the name ments, and the continued increase of the revenue, will enable you, after making due provifion for the feveral branches of the public fervice, to enter upon a fyftem of gradually relieving my fubjects from fome part of the exifting taxes, at the fame time giving additional eificacy to the plan for the reduction of the national debt, on the fuccefs of which our future cafe and fecurity effentially depend. With a view to this important object, let me allo recommend it to you to turn your attention to the confideration of fuch measures as the fate of the funds, and of public credit, may render practicable and expedient, towards a reduction in the rate of intereft of fuch of the annuities which are now redeemable. and on the behalf of the Commons of Great Britain, in parliament affembled. In purfuance of your Majesty's recommendation, your Commons cheerfully proceeded to make a provifion for the establiment of their Royal Highneffes the Duke and Duchefs of York; and they truft that the bill which they have pañed for this purpofe, will fully manifeft their juft fenfe of what is due to the rank and dignity of their Royal. Highnelles, as well as the fatisfaction they derive from an event which, whilft it promotes the comfort and happiness of your Majesty and your illuftrious family, is allo materially conducive to the inte, refts and honour of your people.
