1819 July 15

Morning Chronicle July 14 1819.

The Prince Regents Speech from the throne was not yesterday on
the prorogation of Parliament, was not delivered with that
graceful tone which formerly distinguished his enunciation.
That part of it, however, which announced his determination
to exert all the legal and constitutional power entrusted to him
for the preservation of internal order and tranquaility, was delivered
with an engy energy and emphasis that marked the resolution
of Government. The exertion of constitutional power will
in all cases be sufficient to repress disorder, because the great
body of the people will in that case second the efforts of the
Magistracy; and we trust the notice thus given from the throne
will be the means of preventing all severity. The great mass of
the people are disposed to quiet, under all their sufferings, and
the late Reports from the North prove that the artifices of those
who strive to drive them to acts of intemperance have failed."

Extract from the Speech

My Lords and Gentlemen,
"I have observed with great concern the attempts which
have recently been made in some of the manufacturing districts,
to take advantage of circumstances of local distress, to excite
a spirit of disaffection to the Institutions and Government
of the Country. No object can be nearer my heart, than to promote
the welfare and prosperity of all classes of his Majesty's
subjects; but this can not be effected without the maintenance
of public order and tranquility.

"You may rely, therefore, upon my firm determination
to employ for this purpose the powers entrusted to me by Law; and
I have no doubt, that on your return to your several counties,
you will use your utmost endeavours, in co-operation with
the Magistracy, to defeat the machinations of those whose projects,
if successful, could only aggravate the evils which it is
professed to remedy; and who, under the pretence of reform, have
really no other object but the subversion of our happy Constitution."
