 The Humble ADDRESS of the Righf 
 
 Honourable the LORDS Spiritual and 
 
 Temporal, in Parliament aflembled. 
 
 Dk Martis, 21° yanuarii, 1794. 
 
 Mqfl Gracious Sovereigrit 
 
 WE, Your Majefty's mod dutiful and loyal Subjefts, the Lords Spiritual 
 and Temporal, in Parliament aflembled, beg Leave to return Your 
 Majcfty our humble Thanks for Your Majefty's moft Gracious 
 Speech from the Throne. 
 
 Permit us to afllire Your Majefty, that we Ihall enter with the moft ferious 
 Attention into the Confideration of the prefcnt Circumftances of our Councry, 
 knowing that on the Ifliie of the Conteft in which we are engaeed depend the 
 Maintenance of our Conftitution, Laws, and Religion, and the Security of all 
 Civil Society. • .. 
 
 We congratulate Your Majefty on the Advantages which have been obtained 
 by the Arms of the Allied Powers, and on the favourable Change which has 
 taken place in the general Situation of Europe, fince the Commencement of the 
 "War. We have fcen with great Satisfaftion the United Provinces ptotcfted from 
 Invafion, the Aujlrian Netherlands recovered and maintained, and Places of con- 
 fiderable Importance acquired on the Frontiers of France : We confider the Re- 
 tapturc of MentZy and the fubfequent Succefliis of the Allied Armies on the 
 Rbine^ as having, notwithftanding the late Advantages of the Enemy in that 
 C^iarler, proved highly beneficial to the Common Caufe \ and we arc alfo jiiftly 
 fenfible of the powerful Efforts which have been made by Your Majefty's 
 Allies in the South of Europe. 
 
 We rcflcft with particular Satisfaftion on the Manner in which the Operations 
 of Your Majefty's Enemies have been impeded during fo great a Part of the 
 Campaign by the temporary PolTeflion of the Town and Port oi Toulon', on the 
 important and decifive Blow which, in the Evacuation of that Place, has been 
 given to their Naval Power, and on the diftinguidied Conduft, Abilities, and 
 Spirit, manifefted on that Occafion by Your Majefty's Commanders, Officers, 
 and Forces, both by Sea and Land. 
 
 We beg Leave to exprefs the Satisfaftion which we alfo feel in feeing that, 
 during the Courfe of the prefent Year, the French have been driven from their 
 Poffcffions and I'ilhery at Newfoundland; that important and valuable Acqui- 
 fitions have been made both in the Eaft and Weft Indies j and that while our 
 Naval Superiority has been undilputed, cur Commerce has been fo fully and 
 efieAually protedted. 
 
 We can afTure Your Majefty, that we are llrongly imprclTed both with the 
 NecelTity of vigorous and perfevering Exertions, and with the Expeflations of 
 ultimate Succefs from the Confideration of the Means by which the further 
 Progrcl's of the Allies has hitherto been impeded, and of the Syftem from 
 which our Enemies have derived the Means of temporary Exertion ; fuch a 
 Syftem, difpofmg arbitrarily of the Lives and Property of a numerous People, 
 and violating every Reftraint of Juftice, Humanity, and Religion, has necef- 
 farily been produ<ifive of internal Difcontent and Confufion, and has tended 
 rapidly to exhauft the natural and real Strength of that Country. 
 
 While we join with Your Majefty in regretting the nicefTary Continuance of 
 
 the War, we are confident that Your Majefty's Concern for theeircntial Intercfts 
 
 of Your People will induce Your Majefty to perfevere in the Purfuit of thofe 
 
 Objefts, by which alone the foljd Blcfiings of Peace can be fecured j and to tak^ 
 
 4 fuch 
 
( 4 ) 
 
 fuch Meafurcs as may moft cfFeflually provide for the permanent Safety of Your 
 Majclty's People, and for the Independence ami Security of Europe. It is im- 
 pofribir- for us not to fee that the Attainment of ihefc Ends is ftill ob(lru£led by 
 the Prevalence of a Syftcm in France, equally incompatible with the Happineli 
 of that Country, and with the Tranquillity of all other Nations ; and, under this 
 Imprcflion, we fully concur in the juft and benevolent Sentiments manitefted in 
 the Declaration which Your Majefty has gracioufly been pleafed to communicate 
 to us ; and we have feen with the utmoH: Satisfadion fo large a Part of Europt 
 united in a Caufe of fuch general Concern. 
 
 We acknowledge, with Pride and Gratitude, the gracious Manner in which' 
 Youf Majefty is pleafed to exprcfs Your Majcfty's Senfc of the unlhaken Loy- 
 alty and Hrm Attachment to the eftablifhed Conftitution and Governmenti 
 which, notwiihllanding the continued Efforts employed to miflead and to feduce, 
 have bctn fo generally prevalent among all Ranks of Your Majcfty's Subjefls. 
 The Zeal and Alacrity uf the Militia, and the diftinguifhed Bravery difplayed 
 on every Occaflon by Your Majcfty's Forces both by Sea and Land, have af- 
 forded eminent I^roofs of the fame Spirit which pervades and animates every 
 Clal's of the Nation ; and encouraged, as Your Majcfty's Forces have been, by 
 tlie dillinszuidied Example of Your Majcfty's illuftrious Progeny, and by the 
 Scnfe uf the Blc^iogs which it is the Objtrd of all our Exertions to preferve, 
 they have maintained the Luftrc of the Britijh Name, and have (hewn them* 
 fclvcs worthy of the Caufe in which they are employed. 
 
 We entreat Your Majefty to be perfuaded, that, in all our Deliberations, we 
 fliall bear in Mind the true Grounds and Origin of the War. We remember 
 with juft: Indignation the Attack, made on Your Majefty and Your Majefty's 
 Allies, grounded on Principles which tend to deftroy all Property, to fubvert 
 the Laws and Religion of every civilized Nation, and to introduce univerfally 
 that wild and deftsuiflive Syftem of Rapine, Anarchy, and Impiety, the Effcfts 
 Of whicii, as they have already been manifefled in France^ furniOi a dreadful 
 but ufcfiil LefTon to the prefent Age and to Poftcrity. 
 
 Wf. will on our Parts perfevere with Union and Vigour in our Exertions, 
 fenfibte that by difcontinuing or relaxing the preient Efforts we could hardly 
 procure even a ftiort Interval of delufive Rcpofe, and could certainly never 
 6btain either Security or Peace. Deeply imprefTcd with the Neceflity of de- 
 fending all that is moft dear to us, and relying with Confidence on the Valour 
 and llelburtcs of our Country, on the combined Efforts of fo large a Part of 
 Europe, and above all on the incontertable Juftice of our Caufe, we will aftbrd 
 to Your Majefty all pollible Support in the juft and neceflary Syftem in which 
 Your Majefty is embarked •, and we truft that all Clalfes of Your Ma- 
 jefty's Subjects will endeavour, by cultivating and pradifing the Principles of 
 Humanity, and the Duties of Religion, to merit the Continuance of the Divine 
 J-'avour and Proteftion, which have been fo cmincndy experienced by thefe 
 Kingdom?.
