and took his feat on the right hand fide of the throne, after which Lord Hampden took his feat. At about half paft two, his Majetty came to the Houfe, when Sir Francis Molyneux went with a meffage to the Commons, commanding their attendance, who being come, his Majetty made the following moft gracious fpeech from the throne: 64 My Lords and Gentlemen, I Have the fatisfaction to inform you, that Definitive Treaties of peace have been concluded with the courts of France and Spain, and with the United States of America. Preliminary Articles have been alfo ratified with the StatesGeneral of the United Provinces. I have ordered these several treaties to be laid before you; and am happy to add, that I have no caufe to doubt but that all thofe powers agree with me in my fincere inclination to keep the calamities of war at a great distance. "The objects which are to be brought under your deliberation will fufficiently explain my reafons for calling you together after io fhort a recefs. Enquiries of the utmost importance have been long and diligently purfued, and the fruit of them will be expected. The fituation of the Eaft-India Company will require the utmost exertions of your wildom, to maintain and improve the valuable advantages derived from our Indian poffeflions, and to promote and fecure the happinefs of the native inhabitants of thofe pro vinces. "The feafon of peace will call upon you for an attention to every thing which can recruit the ftrength of the nation, after fo long and fo expenfive a war. The fecurity and increate of the revenue, in the manner leait burthenfome to my fubjects, will be amongit your first objects. In many effential parts it has fuffered; dangerous frauds have prevailed; and alarming outrages have been committed. Exertions have not been wanting to reprefs this daring fpirit, nor pains to enquire into its true caufes. In any inftances in which the powers of government may not be equal to its utmolt care and vigilance, I have no doubt that the wifdom of my parliament will provide fuch remedies as may be found wanting for the accomplishment of purposes in which the material interefts of this nation are fo deeply concerned. "Gentlemen of the House of Commons, war "I Have ordered the estimates of the expenfes for the year to be laid before you. From thofe you will perceive the reduction which I have made in all the establishments, which appear to me to be brought as low as prudence will admit; and you will participate with me in the fatisfaction which I feel in this step towards the relief of my fubjects. At the end of a fome part of its weight muit inevitably be bor'n for a time. I feel for the burthens of my people; but I rely on that fortitude which has hitherto fupported this nation under many difficulties, for their bearing thofe which the prefent exigencies require, and which are so necessary for the full fupport of national credit. "My Lords and Gentlemen, In many refpects our fituation is new. your councils will provide what is called for by that fituation; and your wildom will give per manence to whatever has been found beneficial by the experience of ages. In your deliberations you will preferve that temper and moderation which the importance of their objects demands, and will, I have no doubt, produce; and I am fure that you are unanimous in your defire to direct all thofe deliberations to the honour of my crown, the fafety of my dominions, and the profperity of my people."

MR. Duncombe feconded the motion, and faid he fhouid fupport the right honourable gentleman's propofitions, because they met the withes of the county (of York) which he had the honour to reprefent. Mr. Powys, after recapitulating the motives on which he had voted laft year on the fame fubject, acknowledged that the propofitions were the leaft objectionable of all the expedients he had heard mentioned; but before the remedy fhould be applied, it was neceflary to prove that the evil complained of really exifted, and that the remedy was adequate to its removal. As to the existence of the evil, how could it be proved? And if proved, would the people be fatisfied with the remedy propofed? The honourable member, who feconded the motion, faid that it met the ideas of his conftituents; but of this he had reafon to doubt very strongly, if he might judge from the refolutions of the York Affociation, who demanded the extirpation of the rotten boroughs; an additional number of knights of the fhire; the repeal of the feptennial act; and an extenfion of the right of election. He then read a letter from the Duke of Richmond to the York Committee, on which and fome refolutions of the Quintuple Alliance, he commented in a train of moft fuccefsful irony. And proceeded in the fame style to call for the petitions of Manchester, Birmingham, and Shef field. Thefe were great trading towns, and their petitions must not be flightly paffed over, in the ufual manner of LOND. MAG. Dec. 1783. reading only the title and the prayer. [The clerk having fearched for them in vain, told Mr. Powys that neither Manchester, Birmingham, nor Sheffield were on the lift.] Not on the list! exclaimed Mr. Powys. The nume rous inhabitants of thefe great towns to neglect this important bufinefs! How could they employ their leifure hours when this great fpirit of parliamentary reform was in agitation, and thus neglect the only means of refloring themfelves to trade, wealth, and happinefs. He next begged to be informed in what reign that uncorrupted and virtuous reprefentation, which had been dwelt on with fuch emphafis, had exifted, and in what period of our history that perfect equalization was to be found. He did not recollect any augmentation of members preceding that of Charles I. Parliament, fuch as it ftill was, had brought about the Revolution, and he was fo well fatisfied with what it had done in that great work, that he wished not to fee it new-modelled. A right annexed to property was a ferious matter of confideration; and before that right was altered, or that property invaded, an enquiry into taxation was requifite. As to the petitioners, he confidered thofe who read and understood what they figned to be tainted with a fpirit of fpeculation, and to have mistaken the conftitution of their country. Their jealoufies were ill founded, and as all reforms that touched a part of the conftitution, which had ftood the teft of time, were, in his opinion, highly improper, he should give his 30 negative |
