OVERTURES OF PEACE.
Lord Grenville presented a message from his Majesty to the following purport—
"George Rex,
"The supplies in the commencement of the present session having been calculated to provide only for the first months of the year, his Majesty now recommends it to the House to make such further provision as they may judge necessary, under the present circumstances, for the several branches of the Public Service, and for the vigorous prosecution of the War; and his Majesty has given directions that the proper Estimates for this purpose should be laid before the house.
"His Majesty has thought proper on this occasion to direct that there should be laid before the House Copies of Communications recently received from the enemy, and of the answers which have been returned thereto. by his Majesty's Command.
"His Majesty entertains the fullest confidence that those answers will appear to this house to have been conformable to that line of conduct which was required from his majesty on this occasion, by his regard to all the most important interests of his dominions and his Majesty having no object more at heart than that of contributing, as soon as the situation of affairs shall make it practicable, to the re-establishment-of the general tranquillity of Europe, on a sure and solid foundation, and of providing effectually for the security and permanent prosperity of his faithful people, places a firm reliance on the continued support of his Parliament, and on the zeal and perseverance of his subjects, in such measures as may best tend to confirm the signal advantages which have been obtained to the Common Cause in the course of the last campaign, and to conduct the Great Contest in which his Majesty is engaged to a safe and honourable conclusion."
