Nov. 27. Last Wednesday, the Duke de Nivernois, Ambassador Extraordinary, and Plenipotentiary from the Most Christian King, had an audience of his Majesty to deliver his credentials: To which he was introduced by the Right Hon. the Earl of Egremont, Secretary of State for the Southern department, and conducted by Sir Clement Cotterel Dormer, Master of the Ceremonies. On this Occasion his Excellency made the following speech to his Majesty in French.
A cordial reconciliation between two powerful monarchs formed to love each other: a permanent union of system between two great courts, attracted to one another by their interests rightly understood; and a sincere and lasting conjunction of two respectable nations, whom unhappy prejudices have too long divided; form the glorious æra of the commencement of your Majesty's reign: and this æra will, at the same time, be that of happiness restored to the four quarters of the World. Your Majesty's name, your glory, and your virtues, will be inseparably joined in history, with universal felicity; and posterity will there read, with sentiments of respect that treaty which will be distinguished, above all others, by good faith, without equivocation, and by permanent stability.
Permit me, Sir, to felicitate myself at your feet, on being chosen by the King, my master, to serve, between your Majesty and him, as the organ of the noble sentiments of two hearts so worthy of each other, and to be employed in this blessed work which insures your Majesty's glory by giving happiness to the whole world.
