It is with heartfelt satisfaction, that I receive upon the present occasion this Address from both my houses of Parliament.I am deeply sensible of the mercy of Divine Providence, to whose continued protection I humbly commend myself; and I trust, that under all trials, I shall find the same consolation and support, which I now derive from, the loyal and affectionate attachment of my Parliament and my people.
