HC Deb 08 November 1813 vol 27 c49

Mr. Speaker reported to the House, that the House attended his royal highness the Prince Regent on Saturday last with their Address; to which his Royal Highness was pleased to give this most gracious Answer:

"Gentlemen,

"I thank you for this loyal Address.

"The sentiments it breathes, and the assurances of support which it contains, are such as become the Commons of a great empire to carry to the throne at such a moment as the present.

"The means which you are determined to place at my disposal shall be employed, under the favour of Divine Providence, I trust successfully, in the great cause of national independence; and I indulge the confident expectation that, through the efforts of the great alliance which has at length so happily been formed, Europe may look forward to the attainment of a solid and honourable peace."
