§ Answer to Address [27th April] reported, as follows:—
§ I receive with deep satisfaction your sympathizing Address.
§ The attempt upon the life of My Son, the Duke of Edinburgh, has, I feel sure, only further aroused the loyalty of My Australian Subjects, so heartily displayed in His reception.
§ I am very sensible of the Divine Protection afforded Him; and in My anxiety still trust in it; while in this, as in all trials, I derive consolation and support from the affectionate attachment of My Parliament and People.
