§ VISCOUNT CASTLEROSSE(the Vice-Chamberlain), appeared at the bar of the House and said,—Her Majesty has been pleased to receive most graciously the joint Address of both Houses of Parliament, and has returned the following Answer:—
I thank you for your loyal and dutiful Address.
It is most gratifying for Me to receive your assurance, that after having considered the Treaty of Commerce which I have concluded with the Emperor of the French, you are prepared to take steps for giving effect to a system intended to promote a beneficial intercourse between this Country and France, and to afford an additional security for the continuance of Peace.
