w In Notice of a Treaty of Commerce concluded be tween Your Majesty and the prefent Emperor, but they departed from the Rule propofed before, and infifted upon the Article of which Your Commons now complain, which Article Your Majefty's Ambaffador allowed of, altho' equally Foreign to the Succeffion, or the Barrier; and altho' he had for that Reafon departed from other Articles which would have been for the Service of his own Country. We have forborn to trouble Your Majesty with general Obfervations upon this Treaty, as it relates to, and affects the Empire, and other Parts of Europe. The Mifchiefs which arife from it to Great Britain are what only we have prefumed humbly to reprefent to You. As they are very evident, and very great; and as it appears that the Lord Viscount Townshend had not any Orders or Authority for concluding feveral of those Articles which are most prejudicial to Your Majesty's Subects, we have thought we could do no lefs, than : declare Your faid Ambaffador, who negotiated and figned, and all others who advised the Ratifying of this Treaty, Enemies to Your Majesty and Your Kingdom. Upon thefe faithful Informations and Advices from Your Commons, we affure ourselves. Your Majefty, in Your great Goodness to Your People, will refcue them from thofe Evils, which the private Councils of ill-defigning Men have exposed them to; and that in Your great Wifdom You will find fome Means for the explaining and amending the feveral Articles of this Treaty, fo as that they may confift with the Intereft of Great Britain, and with a real and lafting Friendship between Your Majefty and the States-General. Her Majefty's Moft Gracious Answer. THI HIS Reprefentation is a farther Inftance of that Dutiful Affection to My Service, and Concern for the Publick Intereft, which this Houfe of Commons has always fhewon.
