§ THE LORD STEWARD OF THE HOUSEHOLD (The Earl of TANKERVILLE)reported Her Majesty's most 1683 gracious Answer to the Address of Monday last, as follows:—
I receive with deep satisfaction your sympathising address. The attempt upon the life of my son, the Duke of Edinburgh, has I feel 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.
