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- S
