The following is the KING's Answer to the affectionate Address of the Livery of London.
Gentlemen,
I cannot think that the zeal of my Subjects, the resources of my kingdoms, the bravery of my fleets and armies, have been unwisely and imprudently employed, when the objects of their efforts was to maintain the constitutional subordination that ought to reign in the different parts of my dominions; and which is so necessary to the prosperity of the whole.
I have always lamented the calamities inseparable from war; and am ready to do all that depends on me to forward the measures adopted by the legislative body, in order to re-establish, by means of a happy and honourable reconciliation, those measures of peace, commerce, affection and confidence, between the mother country and the colonies.
