Extract
From the Speech »/ the Lords Commissioners,
to both lloufes of Parliament . on L uefday,
January 2 I, 1806.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
In puifuance o( the authority given to us
by his majesty’s commission under the Great
ocal, among other things, to da-late the
cauie or his holding this Parliament, his ma
jesty has direfted us particularly to call your
attention to the tnoft dccifive fuceccfs with
which Providence has voochfafed to blcfs
his inajefty’s arms at Tea, fmee you were last
aflembled in Parliament.
r I he aftivity and perfevcrence ofhis Ma
jesty's fleets have been confpicudufly dilplay.
ed in the parfuit and attack of the different
squadrons of the enepiy, and every encoun
ter has terminated to the honor of the Britifli
flag, and the diminution of the naval force
ot the powers with whom hit Majesty is at
war—But the viftory obtained over the com
liincd fleet of France and Spain, eft’ Cape
Trafalgar, has inaoifeftvd, beyond any ex
ploit recorded even in the annals ot t'm Bri
tish navy, the skill and enterprize of his
Majesty’s officers and Teamen ; and the dc
ftruftion of so large a proportion of the naval
(Length of the enemy has not only ctor.fi/rtu
cl, in rhe most signal manner, the maritime
fuperiorjty of this country, but has effcnttally
contributed to the security of his M.ijefty's
dominions^
His Majesty troll deeply regrets that the
day of that memorable triumph Ihould have
been unhappily clouded by the fall of rhe he
roic commander under whom it was atchjev
ed : And he is persuaded that you will feel
that this lamented but glorious termination
ot a furies ot trancendcnt exploits, claims a
diftingnUhed expression of the lasting grati
tude of this country : and that you will
therefore chearfuily concur in enabling his
Majesty to annex to those honors which he
has conferred on the family of the late Lord
Viscount Nelson, such a mark of national
magnificience, as may preserve to the latest
posterity, the memory of his name fer
vic«s, and the benefit of his great example.
His Majesty has commanded us further to
inform you, that, whilst rhe fuperiorby
of his arms at Tea has been thus uniformly
after ted and maintained, he has not been
wanting in his endeavours to apply the
means, which were so liberally placed at
his disposal, in aid of such of the continent
as evinced determination to resist the formi
dable and growing encroachments of France.
He has direfted the several treaties entered
into for this purpose to be laid before you;
and though he cannot but deeply lament
that the events of the war in Germany have
difappoinred his hopes, and led to an un
favourable iflbe, yet his jefty feels con.
fident, that upon a review of the steps which
ht has taken, you will be of opinion that he
his left nothing undone on his part to Tuf
tsin the efforts of his allies, and that he has
afted in ftrift conformity to the principles
declared by him and, recognized by pariia-
