The Speech of his Excellency George, Marquis of Buckingham, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, to both Houfes of Parliament, Jan. 17, 1788.

My Lords and Gentlemen, H IS majesty having been pleafed again to call me to the government of Ireland, I have received his royal commands to meet you in parliament.

At the fame time that I feel myfelf highly flattered by this repeated mark of his majesty's confidence, I muft lament with you the heavy lofs which his fervice has fulained by the death of the duke of Rutland, whofe public and private virtues had fo defervedly conciliated the esteem and affections of this king dom.

His majesty is perfuaded that you will fhare the fatisfaction which he feels in the prefent fituation of foreign affairs; and particularly in the restoration of the conftitution and tranquillity of the United Provinces, favoured by the feafonable and vigorous exertions which were made by his majesty, and by the brilliant fuccefs of the Pruffian troops, under the conduct of his ferene highnefs the duke of Brunfwick. The measures which his majesty has adopted on this occafion, have been productive of advantages, which, while they have added to the luftre of his crown, have materially promoted the effential interests of his dominions.

Gentlemen of the Houfe of Commons,

I have ordered the national ac.i counts, and the neceffary estimates! to be prepared and laid before you ;and with the fullest confidence in your zeal and loyalty, Tobey his majesty's commands, in recom mending to you to provide for the public fervice.

My Lords and Gentlemen, My former experience of the affectionate attachment which his majesty's fubjects of Ireland have borne to his perfon and government, and the very particular ins tereft which I must feel in your welfare, will never fail to animaro my endeavours in purfuit of every object which may promote his majefty's paternal wishes for the happinefs of this kingdom. With this view, I muft more especially direct your attention to the support of that great ftaple of your commerce, the linen manufacture, to the protec tion and regulation of the Proteftant Charter-fchools, to the fecurity of the church of Ireland, and to those principles which your wisdom and humanity have already pointed out for the advancement of education and of ufeful knowledge.

I have feen with particular fatisfaction your rifing profperity, and the rapid increafe of your commerce and manufactures; and I fhall be anxious to co-operate with you in improving the advantages which the credit of the country

mult

muft derive from the bleffings of peace. But, while you are fenfible of the value of thefe bleffings, I am perfuaded that you feel the warmest concern for the honour of his majesty's crown, and for the general interefts of the empire; and that there is no part of his dominions, from which his majesty would have received a warmer or more zealous fupport, if he had judged it neceffary to call forth into action the fpirit and resources of his people.

The Speech of the Right Honourable the Speaker of the House of Com mons in Ireland, to his Excellency, the Lord Lieutenant, on prefenting the Money Bills for the Royal Affent, March 20, 1788.

May it please your Excellency, THE commons of Ireland, in the year 1785, made a great and fpirited effort, by a large increafe of taxes, to form a steady fyftem for the annual fupply of the public ex pence,

Such a fyftem, defirable in all countries, and at all times, is particularly neceffary to a commercial ftate, where the profpect of new loans must induce fluctuations in the price of money, injurious to the fteady courfe of trade.

Gentlemen of the Houfe of Commons,

Thus the fyftem has anfwered; it feems fettled, and the people confide in it. Under its influence, public credit has rifen high, and private credit, unawed by any fear of interference from the nation's borrowing, extends itself with fafety to encourage industry, promote enterprife, and enlarge the commer

particularly to thank you for the warm attention which you have fhewn to the honour and intereft of his crown, and for the liberality with which you have provided for the feveral branches of the public fervice.

My Lords and Gentlemen, No object is nearer to his majefty's heart than the profperity of

his
