Wildom, Zeal, and A^dion, of fb good a Parliament ; and that
you have fully anfwered His Exipediations. You have coniidcrr

tinuance of it, thro' the Obftinacy of our Enemies, have made
fuch Provifion for the many different Operations, as ought to
convince the Powers engaged againft us, that it will be for their
Intereft, as well as for the Eafc and Relief of all Europe, to
come to equitable and honourable Terms of Accommodation.
By your Affiftance, the Combined Army in German)' has been^
completed ; powerful Squadrons, as well as great Numbers of
Land Forces, are employed in y^merica, in order to maintain
the juft Rights and Pofleffions of His Majefty and His People,
and to annoy the Enemy in the moft fenfible Manner in thole
Parts : And as France is now making confiderable Preparations
in her Ports, His Majefty has taken Care to put His Fleet at

tho' His iVlajefty is fenlible of the Utility of that Service, when
under proper Regulations, He is determined to do His utmoll
to prevent any Injuries or Hardlhips being, done to the Subjeds
of Neutral Powers, as far as may be practicable, and conilftent
