THE COMPTROLLER OF THE HOUSEHOLD(Colonel Forester) reported Her Majesty's Answer to the Address, as follows:
§ I receive with much satisfaction the assurance of the House of Commons, that, whilst I maintain a strict neutrality between the contending parties in the War now kindled in the North of Italy, I may rely on their cordial concurrence in the measures of defensive policy which have appeared to Me to be necessary for the security of my Dominions and the honour of my Crown.
§ I am at all times desirous that my Government should be in accordance with the Representatives of My People in the House of Commons; and I have therefore taken measures to act upon the advice which you tender to Me, by the formation of a new Administration.
