THE LORD CHANCELLOR

reported HER MAJESTY'S Answer to the Address of Monday last, as follows:— MY LORDS, I RECEIVE with sincere Pleasure the loyal and dutiful Address which you have presented to me on this Occasion. I HEARTILY thank you for your cordial Co-operation in the Measures which I considered necessary for the Prosecution of a War, which, in conjunction with My Allies, I have been enabled to conduct to an honourable and successful Termination, by the full Accomplishment of the Objects for which it was undertaken. IT is most satisfactory to Me to feel that Peace has been re-established on a Basis which affords the best Security for its Permanence; and I trust that, by God's Blessing, it may long continue to promote the Progress of Civilisation, and the Happiness and Welfare of Mankind.
