After which he made the following speech: My Lords and Gentlemen, The great and uncommon variety of publick bufinefs, in which you have been engaged, and your constant attention to the performance of your duty, must make you wish for the conclufion of a feffion, in which the many difficult and and important fubjects under your confideration, could only have been relieved by that fingular good temper and wisdom in your deliberations, which have thrown a peculiar luftre upon all your proceedings, and crown your labours for your country, with merited fuccefs. I reflect with the greatest fatisfaction, that the many difficulties and embarrailments, which appeared at our first meeting, have been furmounted and removed to ably and effectually, as to anfwer my warmest wishes, and to exceed my most fanguine expectations. Gentlemen of the House of Commons. I have his Majefty's exprefs commands to thank you, in his name, for the extraordinary and feasonable supplies, which you have granted, and which his Majefty justly confiders, as a conspicuous inftance of your attachment to his royal perfon and government; and am to affure you, that they are as graciously and favourably accepted, as they have been liberally and chearfully given. It is a ftriking proof of your wisdom and fagacity, that, the means which уди you have ufed, for raifing the fupplies, have not only fupported his Majesty's government, but have at the fame time raised and established publick and private credit, and promoted the commerce, manufactures, and industry of the kingdom. My Lords and Gentlemen, I fhould have reviewed my adminiftration with little fatisfaction to myself, if, while fo much had been done for the honourable fupport of government, no acquifition had been obtained for this country. But, among the many useful laws paffed this feffion of parliament, the act for granting an effectual bounty on the exportation of Corn, affords the frongest proof of the paternal attention of the molt beneficent fovereign, to the welfare and profperity of his dutiful and affectionate fubjects of this kingdom; and has formed the most compleat fyftem of laws, for the encouragement of Tillage, that exists in any country. This reciprocal intercourse of duty and protection. which has for fo many years happily prevailed and from which fo many falutary confequences have been derived, during his Majesty's aufpicious reign, holds out to every part of his Majefty's Empire, an example reflecting the highest honour upon the virtues of a molt amiable and excellent fovereign, and the wisdom and good conduct of affectionate and loyal fubjects. In the high ftation in which his Majefty has placed me, I claim no merit, but a faithful execution of his Majetty's gracious purposes, for the happiness of the people of Ireland, and the most juft, and therefore the most favourable reprefentations of their loyal, dutiful and affec tionate conduct, which cannot fail to entitle them, to the continuance of his royal favour and protection. Your favourable acceptance of my endeavours to do my duty, and your kind approbation of my conduct, expreffed in terms fo very diftinguished and honourable to me, demand my warmest acknowledgments. I have fincerely withed to deferve your good opinion; it is my earneft defire to cultivate and improve it, and my unalterable refolution to exert my moft ftrenuous efforts, at all times, and upon all occafions, to promote the happiness and profperity of Ireland. After which the Lord Chancellor by his Excellency's command, faid, Benj. Ball, Efq; Ja. Horan, Efq; It is reported that Lord Harcourt will be made a knight of the garter, and fent to Paris, in the room of Lord Stormont, and that the Duke of Grafton will fucceed Lord Harcourt, as lord lieutenant of Ireland. By a letter from the East Indies, from Capt. David Roache to Adm. O'Hara, we have these particulars under his own hand: "Left the world fhould rafhly judge of my conduct in regard to the death of Captain Ferguson, I beg you will candidly hear the truth of the matter. At Madeira, we were talking at table, and I observed that Mifs Frazer (a paffenger) was very like Mifs Wilkes, to which Capt. Young replied in very harth language, for my comparifon, although the was compared to the most accomplished lady in England: words enfued, and Captain Young faid he would give me fatisfaction at the Cape. When we arrived there, I followed Captain Ferguson and Captain Young to thore in the pinnace. I came to the house wherein they were, and afked for Capt. Young, when Captain Ferguson camé out and afked me what I wanted; he called me repeatedly an infamous fcoundrel, then raifed his cane and gave me fome fevere blows on the head, upon which I bade him draw; he did; I re treated treated as he advanced furiously upon me; I wounded him in the arm and thigh; but instead of defifting, he ad vanced with double fury, and repeatedly beat down my guard with his cane, and I then wounded him in the body, and the laft in his stomach, killed him on the spot."
